Luo Yao looked at Fang Jie and sighed slowly: "I know this is difficult for you to accept, but this is the truth. I only had you when I was in my forties, so I love you naturally. But you are born Your physique is different from ordinary people, which is both a blessing and a curse for you. It was indeed a bit cowardly for me to do that back then, but I couldn't sacrifice the whole family for you alone."
"You mean I have to accept this story?"
Fang asked.
The voice is a little cold.
"This is not a story!"
Luo Yao took a step forward and said: "This is what really happened. The blood on your body is exactly the same as the blood on my body. You are my son, Luo Yao. This is the answer you have been searching for for so many years. You don't have to accept it. I, but I have to accept this fact. No matter where you are in the future, the ends of the earth, you can't deny that you are my son, Luo Yao!"
"Actually, you should be aware of it. How did your mother treat you when you came to the General's Mansion? She hasn't seen a stranger in so many years, but she is so enthusiastic about you. With your temperament, before you came to Yongzhou, you will be so warm. After Yongzhou, you must have checked many things about me and your mother. Whether what I said is true or not, you have already made a judgment in your heart, haven't you?"
Fang Jie took a deep breath, then turned to look at Luo Yao: "I'm going back, I'm tired."
Luo Yao was startled, then nodded: "It's fine to go back and rest first, I'm not in a hurry for you to give me an answer."
Fang Jie didn't continue talking. After whistled, the red horse came galloping from a distance. He jumped on the horse's back and rode away without looking back.
Luo Yao waited until Fang Jie's figure disappeared from his sight before walking back. When he returned to the generals in the left avant-garde, his expression had returned to calm.
"Pass down our military order, Fang Xie has the privilege of freely entering and leaving the camp from today on."
He gave a light order, then got on his horse and left.
All the generals looked at each other in blank dismay, and no one knew what happened in the previous period. After returning, the general issued such a military order, which has to make people think deeply. Wen Xiaodao looked at Zhan Yao subconsciously, but Zhan Yao didn't show any expression. He pulled out the big flag from the ground, held it with one hand, and chased after Luo Yao on horseback.
Wen Xiaodao frowned, and said in a low voice that if something goes wrong, there must be a demon.
Fang Jie ignored the people in Shanziying and went straight back to his residence in Yongzhou city. Shen Qingfan and Mu Xiaoyao saw that he looked different, and immediately followed him into his room.
"I have some very pleasant news for you."
Fang Jie smiled, but the pain in his eyes was so clear: "Luo Yao said that I am his son. I have a father who is a general with 400,000 soldiers and sits in one side. His words and deeds can influence the situation of the court. His every move It can affect the country, having such a father is really a cool thing, right?"
he asks.
Then he saw the concern on the faces of Mu Xiaoyao and Shen Qingshan.
"Why don't you bless me?"
Fang Jie, who was sitting on the chair, laughed louder and louder: "I have such an awesome old man, this is a great event to be celebrated by the whole world."
"Fang Jie..."
Mu Xiaoyao called him in a low voice, then walked over to hug him.
Shen Qingfan hugged him from the other side, pressing his heart tightly against his head.
"Now I think Xiao Yao's proposal to go back a few days ago is a good idea... Let's go back to Chang'an, or find a place where no one can find us... How about going to sea? Merchants in Dongchu have big ships, and they often go to the sea. On the other side, it is said that there are many countries there, and the customs and customs are completely different from those of the Sui Dynasty. No one knows us there, and we don’t need to be wary of anyone. No matter how powerful the Buddhist sect is, it is impossible to find them overseas. .”
"right."
Mu Xiaoyao said softly: "You are a genius in business, you can earn money from those overseas barbarians. When the time comes, let's find a fairyland-like island to live in. Thinking about it, I think it will be wonderful."
Fang Xie was silent for a while, then pursed his lips and said, "I'm not going anywhere!"
"Luo Yao definitely didn't tell me the truth today, even if he had the truth, he concealed a large part of it."
Fang Jie wiped a tear from the corner of his eye on Mu Xiaoyao's body, and his face has returned to calm. Even though he is a modern person in his bones, even if he should not belong to this world, when the truth comes, he cannot remain indifferent. The mystery of life experience can make people feel turbulent no matter what era they are in.
Fang Jie told the two of them what Luo Yao said, and after he finished speaking, his heavy breathing had calmed down.
"Invite Mr. Zhuo here, I have something to ask him."
Mu Xiaoyao hummed, turned and went out.
Not long after, Zhuo Buyi followed Mu Xiao into Fang Jie's room. His physical injuries have basically healed, and he looks much better.
"Juexiao, what's the rush?"
Zhuo Buyi asked after sitting down opposite Fang Jie.
"A while ago, sir, I asked you to check something. Is there any progress regarding the connection between Luo Yao's wife and the shop that deals with dead people?"
Zhuo Buyi shook his head and said, "It's strange here. As long as it is a shop, as long as it has done business, especially such a special shop, it is impossible to find out any news. I sent people to ask many local people and even He Clansmen, no one has any impression of such a shop."
"However... I found out something about the missing child you mentioned. This matter sounds a bit strange, and many people in Yongzhou still remember the case of losing the child. In the past ten years, basically there has been no missing child. But more than ten years ago, they can't remember the exact number of years. Near Yongzhou, many children were lost within a radius of three hundred miles. There were nearly a hundred of them. It's a boy."
"At that time, the case alarmed the people of the court's criminal department, and they sent people to assist in the investigation. I was still in prison at that time, so I didn't hear about it. These children were all stolen within a month. The local government I checked with the criminal department for a long time, but I couldn't find any clues. In the end, I even used the people from the Ouchi Guards to find out the real culprit. There should be a case file in the Ouchi Guards. If you want me to send People fly pigeons to pass letters, and people rush to send them from Chang'an."
"and after?"
Fang asked.
"It was all over after that."
Zhuo Buyi said: "After that month, I never lost my child again. The real culprit disappeared without a trace, leaving no clues behind. People from the Ministry of Punishment and the Ouchi Guard stayed in Yongzhou for half a year. , I really couldn’t find anything, so I had to go back. But it was announced to the public that the person who stole the child had been caught and executed immediately.”
Fang Jie nodded, thoughtfully.
…
…
Fang Jie didn't sleep the whole night, he filtered the things Luo Yao told him over and over again in his mind. Then he tried to find any loopholes in it, and after thinking about it all night, he finally found a clue. Most of Luo Yao's words sounded reasonable, and it was difficult to find any flaws in them.
At first, Fang Xie thought that Luo Yao could not be so compromising with the people of the Buddhist sect back then. According to Luo Yao's personality, he had suffered from the Buddhist sect many years ago. After many years, he has become one of the most powerful practitioners in the world, and as a general, he has countless troops and hundreds of generals. There was no need for Zong to be so fearful that he didn't even resist.
But then Fang Jie thought that no matter how powerful Luo Yao was, he might not be a match for Tianzun. It is true that he has a lot of soldiers and horses, but it is impossible for all the generals to lead the troops to guard his house. And even though he himself is amazingly strong and can fight against Tianzun, he is only one person after all. There will always be places that are not well taken care of. At that time, Luo Wen was only three or four years old, and his wife, Chu, seemed to have no cultivation base from the information I inquired now.
Given how much Luo Yao cherished her, it was understandable for him to abandon Fang Jie at the beginning.
After all, because of Luo Wu's matter, Luo Yao would rather send someone to kill his father to make up thirty-two people than let the Chu family get involved. It can be seen from this that Luo Yao's affection for the Chu family is very deep.
Since Fozong was able to find Luo Yao, he must know Luo Yao very well. Knowing that the Chu family is Luo Yao's weakness, it is normal to threaten him with this.
When thinking of this, Fang Jie suddenly had a question popping up in his mind.
Luo Yao said that the reason why Fang Jie was born with an indestructible body is because Luo Yao also has such a physique, but no one discovered it at first. His unknown quack master, although it can be seen that he is a rare and good seedling, but the saying that the King Kong is not bad comes from the Buddhist sect, and it is expected that the quack will not understand. Since it is because of Luo Yao's special physique that Fang Jie's physique is special... Then Luo Wen is the child of Luo Yao and the Chu family, why not
Luo Wu died too early, and there is nothing to investigate.
But Luo Wen must not have this kind of physique, otherwise the choice that Luo Yao had to face at the beginning was not how to let Fang Jie escape the eyes of the Buddhist sect, but whether you should hand over Luo Wen or hand over Fang Jie.
Luo Wen doesn't have such a physique, Fang Jie is...
Fang Jie couldn't help frowning.
This is very doubtful.
Thinking of this, Fang Jie once again found doubts.
If Luo Yao has this kind of physique, and this kind of physique is extremely important to the Buddhist sect. Then when Luo Yao was a child, why didn't people from the Buddhist sect find him? Even though King Ming was not too old to need a successor at that time, once a person of this physique was brought back to Dalun Temple in Daxue Mountain, it would be equivalent to adding another master of the level of Tianzun to the Buddhist sect. It is impossible for the Buddhist sect to give up on such a person...
And Shi Yuan Tianzun actually smashed Luo Yao's sea of energy...
This is the most suspicious place!
Fang Jie stood up and paced back and forth in the room, feeling more and more that Luo Yao's words had concealed too much. Even if he is really his son, there are many secrets in it. And if you want to know these secrets, it is obviously unwise to ask Luo Yao directly. And if he wanted to know what his life was like, the Chu family must be clear about it. If he wanted to know the relationship between Luo Yao and Fozong, Shi Yuan must be clear about it!
But it is very difficult to get the truth from these two people.
At dawn, Fang Jie rarely came out to practice. Mu Xiaoyao and Shen Qingfan were very worried. The two of them sat outside Fang Jie, feeling a little at a loss. At this time, Cui Zhongzhen walked over quickly.
"Meet the two girls... Jue Xiao hasn't gotten up yet?"
He asked after clasping his fists in salute.
"He... didn't sleep last night, and just fell asleep at this time."
Mu Xiaoyao stood up and replied.
"Can... can I meet Juexiao? I have something important to discuss with him."
Just as Mu Xiaoyao was about to refuse, the door creaked and pushed open from the inside. Fang Jie stood at the door and said, "Brother Cui, if you have something to say, just come in and talk. I'm not asleep yet."
Cui Zhongzhen gave Mu Xiaoyao and the others an apologetic look, then walked in quickly.
…
…
"The news came from the northwest last night. I wanted to come to you overnight, but I was afraid that others would see something, so I waited until morning to rush over."
Cui Zhongzhen said eagerly: "The people I sent haven't returned to Prince Xu's side after counting the days. The news of Prince Xu arrived here first, and they must have sent people here shortly after I came to Yongzhou."
"What's up?"
"The king of Xujun and Wan Yanyong, the great Khan of Northern Liao, have discussed and prepared to launch a large-scale raid on the rebels. When I left Langru Mountain, the king of Xujun and Mr. Mou sent troops to attack Li Yuanshan's iron mine. I came here last night. According to the news, they won a complete victory and snatched a lot of weapons and armor from the iron mines, King Xu Jun divided more than half of these things and gave them to Wan Yanyong, asking him to send troops to help."
"Wanyan Yong's son, Wanyan Chongde, the eldest son of Beiliao, is by King Xujun's side. He persuaded King Xujun together, and Wanyanyong finally agreed. He sent 10,000 Hanqi from Beiliao to cooperate with King Xujun's men. Raid the rebel army's West Camp. Xujun Wang sent someone to urge me to urge Luo Yao to lead the army north. This will force the rebels to divide their troops and have no time to take care of them. The rebels' West Camp has at least 200,000 horses. Although most of them are county soldiers from the three northwestern provinces, it is still too risky. However, as long as we take down the Western Day Camp, the prince will be able to subdue a whole country with his troops!"
"As long as we take Shandong Road back, we will be able to attack inside and outside with the reinforcements from the imperial court."
"That's why I came to see you in a hurry to see if you can help Luo Yao go north as soon as possible."
After listening to him, Fang Jie frowned slightly: "Fortunately... Prince Xu and the others are not in a hurry. If we don't wait for Luo Yao to go north and launch troops against the rebels' West Camp, I'm afraid that seven or eight of our people will be lost there." Yes. Li Xiaozong has to guard against this person, and the people you send back can also prevent Li Xiaozong from colluding with Li Yuanshan after meeting King Xu."
"Um."
Cui Zhongzhen nodded and said: "But I'm still worried. If Li Yuanshan really inserted Li Xiaozong in, then his scheming is too deep. Even if I send someone back, I'm afraid the prince won't believe it. After all, in the Before that, the prince watched Li Xiaozong make a lot of contributions."
"don’t worry."
Fang Jie shook his head and said: "Because Li Xiaozong's palace is too deep, he will not easily collude with Li Yuanshan. He is waiting, waiting for a bigger opportunity."
"What?"
"Wait for the court's reinforcements to arrive."
Fang Jiedao: "After the imperial reinforcements arrive, King Xujun will definitely send people to contact the imperial army, attacking the rebels from left to right, and if Li Xiaozong betrays King Xujun at this time, it will have the biggest blow to the morale of the imperial troops. Yes. Besides, Li Xiaozong is a volatile person. Another reason why he is still waiting is that if the people in the imperial court seem to have a chance to win, he will not continue to collude with Li Yuanshan and completely throw Li Yuanshan away. If the rebels have the upper hand , he will sell the prince without hesitation."
"In any case, it is better to send troops as soon as possible."
Cui Zhongzhen said.
"Um!"
Fang Jie nodded: "Perhaps... we can ask Luo Yao for a team first, bluffing?"
Cui Zhongzhen was startled: "Will he borrow troops?"
Fang Jie was silent for a while and said, "Give me a few days, and I'll give you an answer after I've dealt with some personal matters. If I really go to borrow it...he probably won't refuse..."
Cui Zhongzhen was overjoyed, but he couldn't understand the complicated meaning in Fang Jie's words.
