Fang Jie was thinking that if what Zhuo Buyi said about the Buddha's son was true, then it would be natural for him to be locked up here. The emperor would never allow a guy with a Buddhist background or even the heir of King Dalunming to sneak into the Sui court. If this happened, he would be ridiculed for hundreds of years.
Zhuo Buyi looked at Fang Jie's constantly changing expression, and knew that this incident would definitely shock the young man greatly. But Fang Jie's reaction made him feel at ease, he didn't believe that Fang Jie would have anything to do with the Buddhist sect. After all, it was true that the Buddhist sect wanted to kill him. If Fang Jie is a disciple of the Buddha, wouldn't that be too contradictory
Although Chen Ya's status in the Buddhist sect is not low, he is by no means qualified to provoke Buddhist disciples.
If he wants to kill the Buddha, can the Buddha sect tolerate him
"Actually, your situation has improved a lot now."
Zhuo Buyi smiled and said, "A few days ago, Your Majesty met Du Hongxian, the village girl who saved you under Zhi Zhi's hand that day. I don't know if she lied or told the truth, but she told Your Majesty for sure. He is the successor of Prince Zhong. This is definitely good news for you. Maybe you won’t be in jail for too long... In fact, you should cherish this experience. The current cultivation base."
Fang Jie was silent for a long time before he sighed and said, "Then how long did it take you to calm down in prison?"
"Half a year."
Zhuo Buyi said: "However, no one came to persuade me at that time. It took half a year to calm down and it was not a waste."
Fang Jie shook his head and said, "If I want to live here for half a year, I will either become a fool or a lunatic. My personality is different from yours. I may not be able to bear this kind of quietness and this kind of loneliness."
"As long as you don't die, there is nothing you can't bear."
Zhuo Buyi got up and tidied up his clothes: "I'm leaving, let me tell you one thing before I leave... Your friends are still in the Sanjinhou Mansion, I'm glad someone stopped you from being such an idiot and naive Behavior. If Dagou and the others really escape Chang'an according to your wishes, there will only be two results."
"Number one, they become dry bones on the side of the road."
"Second, confirm your crime."
As he walked out, he said: "It really doesn't make any sense for you to do such a thing except to make you look childish, ridiculous and idiot. Fortunately, Big Dog and the others didn't follow you to be stupid... Don't underestimate any of your opponents, Even if it's just an opponent and not an enemy. Mu Xiaoyao was sent out by the Ouchi guards on business the day after you were locked up. Guess... what will happen to Mu Xiaoyao if Da Quan and the others escape?"
After saying these words, Zhuo Buyi walked out of the iron gate of the prison. He didn't look back, but he knew that the cold on Fang Xie's back must have soaked his clothes.
Thinking of the possibility mentioned by Zhuo Buyi, Fang Jie was really startled. He thought he was good enough, but he was still treated like an idiot. Thinking of how painstakingly he tried to save Big Dog and the others, but they were all within their sights, Xie felt a chill in his heart.
I'm still too naive.
Sitting on the stone bed, he carefully reflected on the days after he was imprisoned. The more I think about it, the more I feel that I am really stupid, or I think things are too simple. If you want to no longer have this kind of trouble in the future, if you want to survive, there are really many things that need to grow. Compared with the world of my previous life, the biggest difference between this world is that it is more ruthless. If you are not careful, you may fall into the abyss forever.
He thought for a long time, and then made a decision.
He got up and began to resume his practice that had been interrupted for a long time. Practice boxing, practice swords with bare hands, regardless of whether you are left or right. He even tried breathing out, although he still couldn't feel his sea of qi. For almost a whole day, he didn't let himself rest, but kept practicing.
Sudden resumption of high-intensity training, Fang Xie's muscles swelled as if they were filled with gas. A little sore, but feeling refreshed after a stinking sweat.
When he finally stopped, he panted and walked to the door, looked at the flying fish robe outside the iron door and said loudly: "I want to take a bath! I want to eat! And... invite Professor Qiu Yu!"
He shouted at the top of his lungs, almost insane.

…
The Wei River spans almost the entire northern half of the empire, and is the second largest river in the north. This big river meets Xiangshui in the northwest, and then diverges. The Xiangshui flows straight down from north to south and finally flows into the Yellow River, the largest river in the north, while the Weishui flows from west to east. This river, which runs through the east and west of the northern part of the Sui Dynasty, is one of the most important lines of communication for the Sui Dynasty.
Every day, there are countless large ships that come and go on the river, government ships and commercial ships come and go in an endless stream. Especially at the confluence of Weishui and Xiangshui, a huge cargo transfer station has been formed. There are no less than a thousand ships moored here every day to replenish supplies, and there are even caravans from the far east Chu. Eastern Chu is close to the sea, and their trade with overseas is almost monopolized by them. The commercial development of Eastern Chu far surpassed that of Sui Dynasty.
The goods brought by the merchants of Eastern Chu, those beautifully crafted crystal products, medicines, exotic fruits, and even some exotic flowers and herbs are all sought-after. There are rich people in the Sui Dynasty who need something from far away places to complement their taste. So they are willing to spend a lot of money to buy something that is not affordable, and then generously sell the goods in their hands at a lower price to the merchants in Dongchu.
What they don't know is that Sui tea, Shu brocade, silk, and porcelain are also very popular on the other side of the sea. People on the other side are also proud of owning a special product of the Sui Dynasty. Even the cheapest tea bricks in the Sui Dynasty were also sold at staggering prices overseas. Those are things that only the rich can afford, and silk and porcelain are luxuries that only the nobles can afford.
Aristocratic women overseas are proud to wear a silk dress. The exquisitely shaped porcelain was even designated as something that only officials and people with titles could have. If ordinary people get a piece of porcelain, they violate the laws of the country. But it is speechless that everyone's calligraphy, which was hard to find in the Sui Dynasty, was not paid much attention overseas. Instead, some vulgar pornographic books have been cited as classics.
The government's small boats patrolled the wide river and guided the merchant ships to enter the planned waters in an orderly manner and approach the trestle bridge. I don't know why, but there are so many government boats on the river today that it is surprising. There are even naval warships of the Sui Dynasty cruising in the distance, and groups of Sui soldiers can be seen walking by in neat steps on the shore.
The merchants didn't know what happened, and many people turned their eyes to the distance of the river. Those government boats made all the merchant ships try their best to get out of the middle of the river, apparently preparing for something. At noon, people's attention dropped a little, and they were beyond shocked by the scene they saw.
fleet!
A huge fleet that has never been seen before!
Even the merchants from Eastern Chu, known as the strongest navy in the world, have never seen a fleet of this size. It is impossible to count exactly how many ships there are. While people are shocked by the number, they are even more shocked by the nature of the fleet. It seemed that this was a huge merchant fleet escorted by the Sui Navy, and 24 Huanglong clippers that could accommodate 300 sailors opened the way ahead. Behind them are eight huge five-fang warships, each of which can carry at least a thousand soldiers.
The most eye-catching thing is the huge monster behind the five-toothed ship. It seems to be at least 150 meters long, which has reached the limit of wooden warships. This ship has a five-story ship building, and the Sui Dragon Flag fluttering on the top of the mast looks extraordinarily majestic and solemn.
On the big boat, you can see fine armored soldiers patrolling back and forth. There are a few people standing on the bow, seeming to be pointing at the scenery on the shore.
Behind the big boat, there are big boats that cannot be counted at all. Although most of them are not warships, they are not equipped with such offensive weapons as giant crossbows. But in addition to the boatman, a large number of soldiers can also be seen on the boat. No one can estimate how many soldiers such a huge fleet can transport if it is fully loaded. Even a little calculation would yield jaw-dropping results!
Troop carrier!
Those merchants were shocked beyond words. They knew the power of Tai Sui, but it was the first time that it was so intuitively reflected in front of their eyes. The endless fleet was like a giant dragon swimming forward on the river, which made people It is impossible not to be in awe.
"I want to go back home as soon as possible!"
A businessman from Eastern Chu felt that his hands were shaking: "I want to tell my friends... The army of the Sui Dynasty is moving to the northwest. This is a symbol of a big war. The two largest empires in the world are going to war... I God, it's scary to think about it! I can't imagine, if such a fleet sails to Chu... what else can we do but surrender?"
A blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigner next to him had his eyes rounded, his mouth was open, and he didn't even know how to use words to describe the scene he saw.
"The gods are above."
He swallowed hard, and kept gesticulating with his fingers on his chest: "I thought my motherland was strong enough, I thought our fleet could sweep across the ocean, but seeing the Sui people's fleet... thinking about our country's The number of warships and troops is the difference between eagles and flying ants, the difference between big rivers and small streams, the difference between mountains and mounds... After I go back, I must find a way to meet His Majesty the King and ask him to send a delegation to see him Emperor of the Sui Dynasty!"
No one could understand his monologue, but everyone could understand the horror and awe on his face.
All are the same.
This is the national artifact, it can break the world!
…
…
Wu Yiyi, Marquis of Sanjin, stood on the prow of the big boat, looked at the crowds on the shore and smiled slightly. This is not the first time he has come to this place, he has already started traveling north and south when he was a teenager. He even walked out of the Sui Dynasty and saw another civilization overseas.
Therefore, he felt that being a Sui person should be proud.
The person standing next to him was wearing a black python-phosphorus royal robe, with a slender and straight figure. It was Yang Kai, king of Xujun sent by His Majesty the Sui Emperor to the northwest to preside over the preparations for the battle. He took a fast boat to meet Wu Yidao two days ago. He is also full of respect for the richest man in the Sui Dynasty beside him.
Since ancient times, no businessman has been able to do this.
But Wu Yiyi did it, and there was no one after the meeting.
"It won't be long before the news that Sui is about to start a war against Meng Yuan will spread to every corner of the world."
he sighed.
"It's already here, there's no need to hide it anymore."
Wu Yiyi said with a smile: "If nothing unexpected happens, when the news spread, the Great Sui army had already crossed the Wolf's Milk Mountain Range, and was grabbing the Mongolian people's kumiss for drinking."
"I heard that Meng Yuan's women are all big and three rough?"
Yang Kai asked.
Wu Yiyi nodded and said earnestly: "Not only are you rude, but you also have a smell of goat..."
Yang Kai smiled embarrassingly and said: "One thing is missing."
"The soldiers don't care."
Wu Yidao said with a smile: "The Twelve Military Orders issued by the imperial court... There is no prohibition of raping Mongolian and Yuan women, nor is there a prohibition of robbing herdsmen's property."
"There will be."
Yang Kai said solemnly: "But it's not yet that time."
