Fang Jie was silent for a while, playing with the exquisite jade cup in his hand: "I have always told myself that I came from a poor family, and I am proud of it. What you said before is very reasonable and true, but I don't think the so-called blood is such a big deal. It’s worth noting. If you want to say that people from rich families are from koi, and those from poor families are from loaches, then more than a hundred years ago, half of these wealthy families in the Sui Dynasty were from loach.”
"Maybe it's because I haven't experienced that kind of life since I was a child, but I'm used to eating and sleeping in the open. So I feel a little bit uncomfortable with those rich and noble families, just like they can't understand me. I don't He thinks that because of his low birth, his personality is low, and he doesn't think... that he is your Luo Yao's son, so his personality is infinitely high."
Luo Yao frowned slightly, and his tone was a bit chilly: "Are you unwilling to admit that you are my son? Or do you think this status has wronged you? It is unfilial to speak in such an attitude in front of your father!"
Fang Jie leaned back to make himself more comfortable: "When I don't treat you as a father, you must not teach me in such a fatherly tone."
Luo Yao was taken aback, his face became a little ugly.
Over the years, no one has dared to speak to him in this tone.
No matter how domineering Luo Wu was back then, he was as cute as a rabbit in front of him. No matter how resistant Luo Wen was to him, he feared him like a tiger.
In front of others, he is a powerful general and a first-class Duke. In front of his family, he is the supreme master and speaks like a mountain.
But in front of Fang Jie, he found it difficult to get angry.
"I know that it is my responsibility to suffer you all these years. That's why I want to compensate you as much as possible. Everything I do is for you."
"Thanks."
Fang Jie answered very politely.
Luo Yao looked at him and asked: "You can tell me directly, what do I have to do for you so that you are willing to stay? I am already old, and no matter how big the property is, it is impossible to bring it into the coffin. Your mother also I'm old, she waited for more than ten years before you came back."
"Answer me a question first."
Fang Jie put down the jade cup in his hand, sorted out his words and asked, "You said that in order to suppress my physique, you asked a wizard to plant insects for me. This insects will die after fifteen years, and then you Let Mu Xiaoyao feed me another worm, and let the big dog use a special technique to control me, why?"
He looked straight into Luo Yao's eyes without blinking.
"You don't know much about witchcraft, that's why you're asking..."
Luo Yao walked back to the chair and sat down. After pondering for a while, he continued: "The insects are in the human body, and the human is the host. The insects are connected with people by blood. Fifteen years later, if the insects in your body die, you will not be able to survive." Run away to die. And you are not by my side, if there is no wizard to save you, you may die like this. So, I gave Mu Xiaoyao another insect Gu. When the insect Gu in your body dies, Mu Xiaoyao’s insect Gu It can temporarily turn you into a zombie. As long as you come back within a year and let the wizard pull out the bug, you will return to normal."
Fang Jie hummed, his face remained unchanged, but he was already scolding in his heart.
Treat yourself as a vegetable garden for bugs.
"What I didn't expect was."
Luo Yao sighed and said, "Mu Xiaoyao and Da Quan had the guts not to follow my orders, which almost ruined your life. If it wasn't for a coincidence, your insect Gu would have been destroyed... However, If you die, I will naturally kill them and pay for your life."
Fang Jie was noncommittal, he stood up and went to the window to look outside and said indifferently: "I finally understand why you like to live in this high-rise building, you like to stand at the window and look out... The scenery in this yard is so beautiful, there are hills and mountains. The small lake is a microcosm of the world... "
"I want to lead the army north."
He suddenly said something that had nothing to do with the previous one.
"I don't care what your goal is, and I don't care what Zuo Qianwei wants to do when he goes north. But I must kill Li Yuanshan, and I must avenge my comrades who fought side by side and the Fan Gu folks who have lived with me for three years and treated me like family There are only 1,200 soldiers in the Shanzi Battalion, which is a little less. Give me three zhechong battalions, and I will lead the troops myself. If I go to the northwest to avenge my revenge, I will consider whether to stay or not."
"no."
Luo Yao shook his head resolutely: "You can only lead the Shanzi Battalion now, and the other soldiers and horses will be given to you before the time. My generals will not understand if I allocate you three Zhechong Battalions. But I can supply You have more than a thousand war horses, turning your Shanziying into a pure cavalry. You can take the weapons and armor as long as you can. When you are on the battlefield, I can rest assured that there is a flexible cavalry protecting you some."
"good!"
Fang Jie stood up: "When will you go north?"
"Two days later."
Luo Yao said: "Your Shanzi Battalion is not under the control of any one army. This is the greatest right I have granted you. When you decide to stay, I will naturally give you more."
"I'm not necessarily interested in taking it."
Fang Jiebao cupped his fists and leaned slightly: "Farewell to the humble job!"
…
…
Back at his residence, as soon as Fang Jie entered the door, he saw the young lady Wu Yinyu playing a temper tantrum. She ran all over the yard, and the maidservants sent by Jubaozhai followed carefully, lest she fall.
"Go away, go away, you all go away!"
Wu Yinyu yelled while dodging: "I finally got free. Who told you to follow me? I don't want you to serve me. If you follow me again, I will have you all kicked out."
Seeing Fang Xie came back, she immediately jumped over like a deer: "Get these annoying guys away!"
She stood opposite Fang Xie with her waist pinched, looking straight into Fang Xie's eyes.
The weather was already very hot, she was only wearing a goose yellow gauze skirt, and she didn't know how long it had been, her clothes were soaked with sweat. There is a fine layer of sweat beads on the smooth forehead, as well as on the tip of the small nose. She is not a beautiful woman, but her facial features are indeed exquisite. Pampered and spoiled since she was a child, her skin is not only white and transparent, but also looks as delicate as a flower bud that has not yet bloomed.
She stood in front of Fang Jie, panting heavily.
So the chest rose and fell violently.
Fang Jie looked down, then shook his head: "Why are you shivering because you don't have a scale at all?"
Wu Yinyu didn't understand Fang Xie's meaning at first, and she didn't realize until she found Fang Xie's gaze fixed on her chest. The little girl blushed immediately, and folded her arms on her chest after scolding a hooligan.
Fang Jie smiled and said, "Squeeze it, there is still a groove."
Before Wu Yinyu was about to kill someone, he took out the short gun from his cuff and handed it to her: "If you are bored every day, just play with this."
"This... what is it?"
Fang Jie loaded a lead bullet, then aimed at a green bamboo not far away that was as thick as a thumb and fired. After a bang, as a puff of green smoke rose, the green bamboo a few meters away broke in response. Wu Yinyu was obviously taken aback, and subconsciously stepped back.
"I'll see you off."
He handed Wu Yinyu the skin bag containing the lead bullets, and explained the operation method.
"This thing... what's its name?"
"Short guns, also called muskets."
"so beautiful!"
Although her father Sanjinhou Wu Yiyi is well-versed in the world, he will not let her come into contact with such dangerous things. Moreover, she has not been interested in Wu Yidao's business affairs since she was a child, so this is the first time she has seen this thing.
She held it and played with it for a while, then suddenly raised her head and asked, "If there are many of these things, and each soldier sends one, wouldn't it be invincible on the battlefield?"
Fang Jie was surprised for a moment, he didn't expect her to think of this.
"Not yet."
Fang Jie waved his hands to let the maids leave: "The rate of fire of this thing is too slow... One shot needs to be loaded with gunpowder, and the range is too short, so it is not as good as a crossbow or a bow and arrow. I want this thing to be used on the battlefield. Show off your power, there are too many changes that need to be made.”
"You can?"
Wu Yinyu blinked her big eyes and asked curiously.
"Of course... no."
Fang Jie said as he walked, "Keep your self-defense. I'll send someone to take you back to Chang'an in a few days. I don't worry if I have something for self-defense along the way. Your father said you are a genius in cultivation, but you I have used my talents on nonsense."
"If you say it again, I'll shoot you!"
Wu Yinyu threatened viciously, she was stunned for a moment and then suddenly shouted: "I don't want to go back!"
"reason?"
Fang asked.
"What reason?"
Wu Yinyu asked back of course.
"Why don't you go back, what can you do if you stay?"
Wu Yinyu stopped, looked at Fang Jie and said seriously: "I'm not going back because I don't want to go back. Do I have to do something if I stay?"
"nature."
Fang Jie pointed to the servant who was sweeping the floor not far away and said, "The reason they stayed is because he cleaned the yard twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. That's why the yard is so clean and tidy, which makes people feel at ease." It's very comfortable. Those maids, they can make beds and serve tea and water, so they can stay too. Those guards protect the safety of people in the yard, so they also stay... What about you? What can you do?"
Fang Jie sat down in the corridor and answered earnestly: "Everyone has their own value of existence, do you know what your value is? Singing against your father, playing tantrums with servants... If this is the value of your life, you Don't you think... it's meaningless?"
"What do you mean?"
Wu Yinyu asked with an ugly face, her fingers trembling slightly.
Fang Jie said: "The reason why you have this temper and this character is because your father dotes on you. I am not your father, and there is no your father here... So, if you feel that you can't bear my grievances, go to your father. Go back After that, you will still be your eldest lady, the kind who is afraid of losing it in your mouth if you hold it in your hand. As long as you stand beside your father, it will be like the wind or the rain."
"I... just won't go back!"
Wu Yinyu bit her lip and said, "Don't think that if you provoke me like this, I will be fooled!"
"You're really wrong."
Fang Jie smiled and said, "I don't have time to play tricks on you. I have too many things to deal with. This place looks nice and suitable for living, but the suitable place for living may also be a tomb. If you want to stay, you can. From now on Start to let me see the value of your existence, otherwise, let’s talk about it.”
"I'll give you money!"
"Oh, that's great, but unfortunately, I'm not interested in money now."
"me… "
Wu Yinyu's face turned pale, and she stomped her feet but didn't know what to say.
"Tomorrow morning, I will make my quilt and wash my face, and make my bed at night and wash my feet. Fan me when it's hot, and get me a piece of clothing when it's cold. Good job, I don't have a copper coin every month, but I don't care. Take care of food, housing, and life. If you can't do it well... get out."
Wu Yinyu's lips were almost bitten by herself, and the tears in her eyes were almost overflowing.
She looked at Fang Jie with anger in her eyes.
"You are such a person! Fang Juexiao, I misread you!"
Fang Jie shrugged his shoulders: "There are not many people who see me right. Your father is one, and you don't have that vision yet."
"I'm leaving now!"
When Wu Yinyu turned her head, tears finally flowed out.
"No."
Fang Jie looked at the back of the little girl running away, sighed and said: "I can't protect myself, how can I be sure to protect you? I owe your father so much money and I won't pay it back if I don't pay it back. I owe him a daughter, this... I can't afford it."
