The cook is missing an arm, so the speed of plucking hair is very slow...
But even if he plucked his hair, he couldn't remember how he remembered that there were six people at that time, and he remembered that there were indeed six people at that time.
"I remember very clearly. When I was crossing the grassland, I encountered Mengyuan wolf riders oppressing the people. I asked them to kill people. At that time, I said, "It's okay to kill but don't be killed. I won't do it anyway. But the six of us There are six people who come alone, and there must be one less. And the old man told me back then, there are six people in total!"
The cook said angrily, "Could I remember wrongly?"
Xiang Qingniu gave him a look that you can't remember wrongly: "It's unreasonable that you remember well."
"Master..."
Shi Wan waved his hands and calculated, and asked with some uncertainty: "You mean a total of six people?"
"Um!"
The cook nodded.
"So... count you?"
Shi Wan asked again.
The cook was stunned for a moment, and looked left and right: "Forget...for me?"
At this moment, Fang Jie also understood, and couldn't help but want to laugh: "Did the old man tell you that there are six of you in total? You can't just lose one of them, but your memory is really uncomfortable. "
"Is it really counting me?"
Fang Jie said: "Whether you count or not, let's go back to Chang'an City first."
He leaned over and picked up the still unconscious warrior, and tied it on the white lion's back. No one knows why this strangely-named person has been in a coma. What happened in the first place to make a person fall into a deep sleep? Fang Jie and the others had all checked the pulse of the fierce soldier, and the man's body was not seriously injured, and he was in good health. However, it feels like there is less anger.
A group of people set out on the road and left this bitter cold place.
"In the tribe of the Beiliao people, there was a Han man who was a teacher there, and then died... Do you know this person?"
Fang Jie asked Ye Zhuhan.
Ye Zhuhan shook his head: "I don't know him, but he probably came from Yipin Villa back then. As far as I know, there is only that sect in the Hundred Thousand Mountains besides us. But later Liu Yanque ran to challenge the people from Yipin Villa. People, in the end, the killing sprang up and wiped out Yipin Villa in one go. He didn't tell us about this, and we pretended not to know."
Fang Jie hummed.
That's not a big deal, a person who dies dies.
"Speaking of it, don't joke. I've lived here for too long, and I'm a little scared to leave suddenly. I can't even imagine what it would be like to see many, many people every day. Can I Communicate with them, can you become friends with many people.”
"It's not difficult."
Fang Jie smiled and comforted: "When you walked side by side with me, you have already walked out."
Ye Zhuhan savored this sentence carefully and found that it was true. What I have been looking forward to is happening, and the excitement in my heart is actually much stronger than the fear. There are not many people in this world who can endure the bitter cold and loneliness. The one who can really calm down and let go of everything in the world is actually ruthless.
As long as there is love, it cannot be done.
"Why did you come to us?"
Ye Zhuhan asked Fang Jie: "I know it might be impolite to say this, but I'm still curious. You are not a person who would bother about irrelevant things. Master said that you are the king of the Central Plains. If so, you must have many There are a lot of big things to do. For us, you have to come to this hundred thousand mountains without a purpose."
"I don't know either."
Fang Jie replied sincerely: "Maybe in the future you and I will work together to do a big thing, something that most people in the world will not know, but it will definitely have a huge impact on the whole world. This thing will not I want you to be famous in history, but there are many crises and you are close to death. The reason why I found you is because of a reminder left by a senior. I am not even sure whether this reminder is useful or not."
"What is it?"
Ye Zhuhan's curiosity was aroused by Fang Jie.
Fang Jie didn't hide anything, and tried his best to tell what happened in the Dalun Temple in the Western Region Prairie, including the unknown thing, in words that Ye Zhuhan could understand. Ye Zhuhan listened carefully, and would ask questions when he didn't understand. The two walked side by side like this, as if they were old friends for many years.
Leaving the ice cave in the morning, Ye Zhuhan finally figured out the ins and outs during the noon break.
"However, if according to what you said, you need to gather nine people... The old man and the bird are all dead in your hands, which means that it is impossible to gather the nine people anyway, what should we do?"
Ye Zhuhan asked.
"have no idea."
Fang Jie said: "I don't have the time to think about it now. After taking you back to Chang'an City, I will go to the eastern border. There are millions of enemies coming from the other side of the sea in the eastern border. They are slaughtering the Han people. They are plundering our land. There is no urgency on the grasslands, but the most urgent thing on the eastern border."
"Take me there."
Ye Zhuhan glanced back at Shiwan: "Although I don't have any concept of the country, I also know that this land cannot be occupied by outsiders. Even if I go there and kill one more enemy, it can be regarded as doing my part."
"Whether he is my master or not, I have never forgotten what he said to us at the beginning... Practitioners are to be chivalrous, to do what the common people cannot do, and to do what the common people cannot do. He said, if you Use your powerful cultivation base to bully ordinary people, then you are nothing but a clown. I want to be a respected person... not to be feared, not like the old and the young."
Fang Jie nodded: "You will."
…
…
"Cook, does it hurt?"
Xiang Qingniu asked while changing the dressing for the cook.
"pain."
The cook looked at his broken arm and grinned: "That's why I don't want to fight. It hurts to think about fighting. Whether I hurt someone or someone hurt me, I can't bear it. Others hurt me. , I thought it must be very painful, and my heart twitched... I never thought that one day I would be an incomplete body when I was like dirt."
He glanced at Xiang Qingniu: "What kind of broken medicine are you, why does it hurt so much?"
Xiang Qingniu gave him a blank look: "This damn is the best medicine for wounds. In the world, this small bottle can be sold for at least 50 gold, and not everyone can buy it. I am so whole Sprinkling the whole bottle on the top, if it were someone else, they would have sucked their teeth. I am so righteous, and you actually said that my wound medicine is broken?"
"Can't you take care of my emotions?"
The cook said bitterly.
Xiang Qingniu sighed: "Okay, okay, pretend I didn't say it... do you regret it?"
"What do you regret?"
"Regret or not regret tearing off one of my arms."
"No."
The cook shook his head: "It hurts, but I don't regret it."
"Why?"
"Because I owe them."
The cook pulled the wine gourd from the waist of Xiangqing beef, pulled out the cork with his teeth, and then took a big gulp: "I didn't feel guilty when I didn't remember. After seeing them, if I don't Atone for some sins, I’m afraid that the rest of my life will be unreliable. You might say that it’s better to treat them more after keeping your arms? That’s not atonement, it’s just admitting mistakes.”
Xiang Qingniu did not argue.
"Let's talk about something else... If you were also the person selected by Mr. Wan back then, could it be that you are out of bounds? In this way, I know too many fucking perverts. I always feel that I am already very evil." After getting to know Fang Jie, I found out that he is the real monster. After getting to know him, I met a lot of monsters... "
The cook said: "Boundary is not a great thing, what is there to brag about?"
Xiang Qingniu bowed his head: "You don't know how to chat!"
"You're so disappointed."
The cook said: "Although there are very few people in this world who can go out of the world, they are definitely not one or two. But you are the only one who has enlightened Taoist mind. At the beginning, old man Wan once said that although Daozong's exercises There is nothing weird at all, but it is the most dignified and upright exercise in the world. And most of Daozong's future achievements will depend on you."
Xiang Qingniu said: "I know, I never feel that I am inferior to you, I just feel that you have and I don't, and I am a little unhappy."
Cook: "..."
"After you go back, are you going to follow Fang Jie to the Eastern Border?"
asked the cook.
"Um."
Xiang Qingniu said: "Actually, there was no such deep friendship between me and Fang Jie at first. Back then, I was just betting. Xiao Yijiu patted his ass and left. The second senior brother played chic, and the third senior brother Not to mention, if the concept of Yiqi was handed over to me, if I didn't fight hard, the distance would gradually disappear in the rivers and lakes. At that time, I stood beside Fang Xie with the whole concept of one energy on my shoulders. Have a great success in the end?"
"What now?"
asked the cook.
"Now?"
Xiang Qingniu smiled and looked at Fang Xie's back in front of him: "Actually, if this man doesn't have a life-long friendship, he will be a failure. Fang Jie has a group of people who have a life-long friendship, so he is a hero. .I'm not greedy, one is enough, so I'm a quack."
Jianghu guest...
The cook took a deep breath.
…
…
Eastern Chu
the palace
The bedroom of the Eastern Chu Emperor was built on a cliff, and the side close to the sea is a folded partition. When the partition is folded and pushed open, you can see the sea. Walking out of the dormitory is a huge platform, standing here seems to be able to overlook the entire East China Sea. Standing here, there is a kind of heroism and magnificence that I have in the world.
So, Lehman likes living here.
"Your Majesty... the war in the eastern border seems to be going badly. Schweinger is sorry for your trust, and buried nearly 100,000 people in Fenghuangtai. Now the status of the Han army in Fenghuangtai has surpassed that of Mufu, and more and more The Han people who dared to resist His Majesty's Tianwei began to gather there. If the Phoenix Tower is not taken down, it will definitely not be good news for the entire campaign."
Standing respectfully behind Lehman was Kirkbo, one of the dukes of the Opru Empire. This person is one of the two elders under Lehman's command, and the other is the Grand Duke of Hurons. However, Kirkbo had already left the battlefield, and was in charge of advising Lehmann.
Lehmann always believes that young people are more aggressive on the battlefield. But in terms of decision-making, the elderly still have more wisdom.
"What do you think should be done?"
Lyman asked.
"Your Majesty, we took down Eastern Chu very smoothly, so the soldiers' fighting spirit was very strong, thinking that we could take down Sui as smoothly as we took down Eastern Chu. But it has been so long, and the eastern border of Great Sui has not been breached. In terms of morale, this is really not a good thing. If it cannot boost morale, I am afraid that the war will fall into a quagmire."
"How to boost morale?"
Lyman asked again.
Kirkbo glanced at Lehman cautiously, and then said tentatively, "Your Majesty will personally go to the army?"
Lehman was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Then personally conquer!"
