Chapter 88 Two people and one person

Xiang Qingniu covered his stomach and ran away quickly and disappeared without a trace. He didn't know where to get into the grass. Seeing the fat figure flying away in his sight, Fang Jie smiled and shook his head. Speaking of which, he was just a chance meeting with this fat man. At the beginning, the fat man wanted to cheat him on him, but he saw it through. Then he walked along the way, and the two of them made jokes and were happy and colluded.

Even Fang Jie didn't expect that Xiang Qingniu could stand up to help him at this moment. Although Xiang Qingniu said it easily, he must have secretly put in a lot of effort to get himself such a chance to turn around. However, people like Xiang Qingniu are afraid that even those who work hard to promote their favors after helping a lot are too lazy to do things that most people take for granted and do not bother to do.

Fang Jie has never been a person who is willing to waste opportunities.

He took a deep breath, then slowly walked towards the man sitting in the middle of the tea shop. When he first arrived in this world, he was not used to the exciting life of being chased. Mu Xiaoyao once told him that if you are afraid, take a deep breath. When facing a crisis, a deep breath may bring you back to life.

The more critical the mind is, the more calm the mind is. Since then, he will take a deep breath every time he encounters a problem, which has become his habit.

I walked over and stood not far away from the man, and then I found that I felt a little uncomfortable.

There was only a stool next to this table, and the man sat there. There was only a bowl of tea on the table, and the man was savoring it carefully. He didn't know what the cheap tea brick could taste. Although Fang Jie didn't know who he was, it was because Xiang Qingniu could tell that his life and death were only in this person's thoughts. This person's status was obviously scary. Fang Jie even suspected that this person's height had left the category of a stick, but was holding the stick's hand.

There is only one supreme of the Great Sui Dynasty, and the supreme is also a person with only two hands. Fang Jie assumes that this person's height can reach one hand, which shows how strongly he attaches importance to this person.

Without a stool or tea, Fang Jie could only stand and be thirsty. But there was no trace of displeasure on his face, nor was there excessive humility.

"Meet the senior"

Fang Jie held his fists and performed rituals.

The man who could not tell the specific age did not look up and was still concentrating on tasting the worthless tea. He seemed to be waiting for Fangdao to continue talking, but he seemed to have no concern about Fangdao at all.

Fang Jie remained silent and leaned forward slightly.

After a while, the man put down the tea bowl in his hand and said in a little unhappy tone: "I'm very busy."

Fang Jie nodded, then stood up straight and said, "I don't know how to escape from my sins. The person who broke into the Ministry of War at night is mine. Therefore, although I really want to mention it, I can't mention it because the people involved will make this matter more complicated. I can only say that she was worried that I would die because she had to do something confused about the national law. But this person is very important to me, and I can't watch her die, so we can only escape."

The man frowned slightly, then looked up and thought: "You are wasting my time. Xiang Qingniu said that you are smart and really praised you."

Fang Jie pursed his lips and said, "I can't do her life or death. Perhaps in your eyes, this is the kindness of a worthless woman, and it is an idiotic idea. In fact, when I decided to escape from the imperial capital, someone advised me to give up my companions in order to live alone. I have not hesitated, but what he hesitated is whether I have the ability to do the best rather than keep myself alone."

"You go"

The man waved his hand and said, "I don't even care about the fools and those who think they stick to the so-called moral bottom line. Because the latter is worse than fools, they are idiots. Go back to your companions. Since you value love and friendship so much, you must be willing to die with your companions. I can fulfill this and let you die on the same day of the same year, month and day."

Fang Jie nodded and bent down again to salute: "Thank you."

He turned around and left without any drag.

The man was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect Fang Jie to actually leave. He didn't expect that this guy, who was called a first-class smart person by Xiang Qingniu, would not even want to work hard. Even if he wouldn't kneel down and beg him to let him go, at least he had to try to convince himself. But the boy did nothing, just emphasized the pitiful and worthless so-called bottom line he had adhered to.

"There is only one stool and a bowl of tea here... Do you feel uncomfortable when you feel despised? So you pretend to be very firm and show that you are not humble?"

He asked.

Only after walking out for three or four steps can I stop.

He turned around and looked at the man, shook his head slowly and said seriously: "If I can guarantee that my companion and I are not dead, why would you be despised while standing thirsty? If you say you can let us go this time, and then let me kneel down and crawl to your feet and lick your boots, I would also like to."

Hearing this sentence, three people frowned at the same time.

One is the man who looks a bit arrogant, the other is the young man who is perfect in appearance and temperament, and the other is the man who is sitting in the tent of the tea shop.

"Okay, you kneel down and crawl over first."

The man sitting on the stool suddenly replied in a plain tone.

Fang Jie took a deep breath and asked, "If I crawl over, will you let me go and my companions?"

The middle-aged man did not answer.

Fang Jie asked again: "Or, I die, will you let them go?"

The middle-aged man still didn't answer.

Fang Jie was silent for a while and looked at the man and said solemnly: "Although I don't know what your identity is, whether it is so high that I can't even see it up. And I am just a little scout from the border town of Fan Gu, and I am not outstanding among the hundreds of millions of people in the Sui Dynasty. In terms of identity and strength, you may be an eagle traveling in the sky, and I am just an ant running around. But if you are not an official of the Sui Dynasty, but an enemy of the Sui Dynasty begs for my chance to survive in this way, I will only answer you with a horizontal knife, even if I will die."

After saying this, he lifted his robe and was about to kneel down on one knee.

When he said this, someone who was already extremely disappointed with him suddenly had his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but raise his mouth slightly. He raised his hand and tapped it on the table, then got up and left.

The man sitting in the middle of the tea shop heard the slight knock and his face changed, and then he couldn't help laughing.

"You are his disciple, so don't have to kneel down to me... If you told me about the origins between you and him when you entered Chang'an City, who would make things difficult for you? Who dares to make things difficult for you? Even if you do something wrong, you will give you a chance to correct yourself. You should be glad that what you said just now saved you because you did not forget your roots... You did not forget that you were a citizen of the Great Sui Dynasty, and also let me see what your other persistence is."

"very good"

He said.

The man stood up and said with a smile: "Let's go and take you to a place."

He took a step forward and suddenly turned his head to look at the young man in white sitting on the far left. He frowned slightly, and a sharpness flashed in his eyes.

The young man in white was still staring at his tea bowl, as if nothing had changed. But no one noticed that he quietly let go of the seal pinching the thumb and ring finger of his left index finger, and his fingers trembled slightly.

...

...

Fang Jie knew that he had bet right, and he bet right again on the verge of life and death.

In the large yard of the Great Inner Guard, he was slightly ecstatic when he looked at the fruits that were about to mature on the peach tree. The man who brought him into the palace asked him to wait here, and then left gracefully. Nearly two hours have passed since he entered the palace, and Fang Jie has been standing in the yard, and no one has come to pay attention to him.

He looked at the peach and really wanted to pick one and eat it.

From morning until now, he has not yet entered the water and rice.

Although he knew that those peaches that were not ripe were definitely not delicious, they were so sour that they made people hard to swallow. But after starving all day and thirsty all day, even looking at a green peach would make people twitch slightly in their stomachs.

"What are you doing?"

Just as he was staring at a green peach, someone asked behind him.

Fang Jie turned around and saw a familiar figure.

"Have you met Mr. Zhuo."

He bent down to salute.

Zhuo Buyi walked over slowly, walked to the stone bench not far from Fang Jie, and sat down and asked, "Why did I see you staring at the green peach just now, and I was so focused? What insight did the peach give you, or were you thinking about something else?"

Fang Jie smiled and said, "A master always makes simple things complicated. Do you think I have understood what life principles I have seen when I look at the Qingtao? It's not... I just feel very thirsty now, and when I look at the Qingtao, I can imagine that the peach must be sour. When I think about sourness, I will drool in my mouth, and my saliva is also water... Swallow more, my throat will not dry out and it will hurt particularly."

Zhuo Buyi was speechless for Fang Jie's answer.

"I really didn't expect that you would still have the heart to joke in such a situation."

He said.

Fang Jie shook his head and said, "I'm really not kidding, I'm really thirsty."

Zhuo Buyi glared at him and asked, "Do you know that you almost died at the tea shop outside the city?"

"Know"

Fang Jie smiled and said, "But I'm not dead."

"You're lucky."

Zhuo Buyi said.

Fang Jie continued to look at the green peach and continued to swallow his saliva: "Maybe, my luck seems to have always been good."

Changchun Garden

Dome

The emperor glanced at Luo Weiran who was standing at the door with his bent body, nodded and said, "Come in and talk... Where was the boy arranged?"

"Waiting at the Great Inner Guard."

Luo Weiran entered the door and spoke with his head down.

"What do you think?"

The emperor asked.

Luo Weiran thought for a while and replied: "Your Majesty already has feelings, so I dare not have my own feelings anymore."

The emperor was stunned and then laughed and scolded: "Flame ministers should be killed. You can just say whatever you want. Your skill in flattering is not enough, at least it is far worse than Su Buweilai."

Standing on the side, Su Buwei smiled awkwardly, filled the emperor with tea and retreated to an inconspicuous corner. At this time, Luo Weiran discovered that Su Buwei was standing next to the emperor, but he had the illusion that he could not find him in this room. He stood there like a clothes hanger and a stool, which was the furnishings in the room rather than a person.

Therefore, Luo Weiran paid more attention to Su Buwei, the eunuch who was promoted by the imperial study room, whom he was promoted.

Luo Weiran lowered his head and said, "I didn't see what outstanding things this young man is, but since he could accept this young man as a disciple, he even gave the small golden elixir, the best magic medicine in the world, to save the young man's life, there must be some reason. Although I didn't see what the reason is. This young man's physique cannot practice, and his knees seem to be too soft..."

He was referring to the matter of letting Fang Jie kneel down.

"You are the commander of the Great Inspector's Office. He is just a barrack of the border army. You are abiding by the rules of the Great Sui Dynasty. What I am disappointed is that... He cherishes his life too much. If a person cherishes his life too much, he will lose his loyalty."

"This is also what I am worried about, but fortunately... he still has the pride that the Great Sui soldiers should have."

"I like this pride."

The emperor was silent for a while and said, "Take him to Changchun Garden. No matter whether the boy is qualified to be his disciple or not, this is an unchangeable thing after all. Ten years have passed, and the boy is the last person to see him. I want to ask the boy, what he looks like now and where he has gone..."

"That's the matter between the Ministry of War?"

Luo Weiran asked tentatively.

"Of course, I can't just let Fang Jie go. I'll think about how to kill him after I asked."

The emperor waved his hand and said, "In addition, go check it out. A little person who is just a scout in the border army. Why is there an eighth-rank strong man who is guarding him? I am also very curious about this. In order to save him, a eighth-rank strong man even offends the law of the country and enters the lobby of the Ministry of War... I want to know if there is something hidden behind it."

"Here!"

Luo Weiran responded, then bowed and retreated.

At the same time, in the yard of the Da Nei Escort Office, Fang Jie looked at the green peach and actually realized something. He slapped his forehead and screamed.

"The old lame man lied to me again. There were no two people, it was clearly one person!"
