Because of the pounce on the tiger, Fang Jie put the matter of mobilizing troops against Nanyan on the agenda again. Fang Xie understood the meaning of Puhu, but he didn't understand this young black boy who looked full of vicissitudes. Fang Jie always felt that there would be many, many stories and many, many secrets about this person.
Walking on the streets of Yongzhou, Puhu seemed to have recovered from Tan Qingge's death. Fang Jie thought that he would be sad for a while, so Fang Jie took a special look at this man and found that there seemed to be something very unusual in his eyes. It was a kind of... relief and open-mindedness that can only be had after going through many things. Fang Xie always thought that this kind of thing can only be seen in the eyes of the old man.
But it seems that he is only eighteen or nineteen years old.
"Although there has just been a war here, I always feel that Yongzhou is more comfortable than Chang'an City. No matter how fierce the war is, it has never reached Chang'an City, but there is always a feeling in Chang'an City that is more chaotic than the war. People have the illusion that high walls separate The hustle and bustle outside is actually because the hustle and bustle in the city is more violent than the outside, so people don't feel much about the outside. Although Yongzhou has only just recovered from the killing and war, the calm is real, and it makes people feel at ease."
The words were a bit vague, but Fang Xie vaguely understood them.
No matter what happens in Chang'an City, it seems that it will always be peaceful. Because Chang'an City is too big, it is like the sea, even if a mountain falls into the sea, it will not affect the entire sea. It also seemed that the walls of Chang'an City were too high and strong, so that all the waves hit the walls and were stopped. Other things cannot come in, and some things cannot go out.
"Actually, I have always had a question, but because I don't have enough relationship with General Puhu, I haven't asked it. It's not a question of being presumptuous or not, but whether it should be or not."
Fang Xie was silent for a while and said.
"Want to know where I come from?"
Puhu glanced at him.
Fang Jie nodded.
"Why can't I resist asking again?"
Puhu asked.
Fang Jie thought for a while and answered: "Because I found that you are actually a very direct person. If you can't say it, you will reject me directly. Moreover, I always feel that when I look at you, I think about this question and don't ask it. It's not right to go out."
"You are too cunning."
Puhu didn't seem to be angry, and he commented that you were too cunning when the other party answered. Fang Jie also smiled, noncommittal.
"I can't tell you yet, because some things are unreal. Unreal... Many times, I think I have been living in a dream. Everything I see and experience is happening in a dream. If I now Let me tell you, maybe it’s not just my dream that woke me up.”
Pu Hu said as he walked: "This is untrue not only for those who have heard it, but also for those who have experienced it. In this world, there will always be things that happen one after another beyond your imagination. It doesn’t make sense for you to think about what happened.”
"Some people say that existence is reasonable."
Fang explained.
Pu Hu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "Which bastard said this? It doesn't make sense at all! Existence is reasonable? I have never heard more negative and perfunctory words than this. Can you find an excuse not to resist for the matter of resistance?"
Fang Jie felt that these words were a bit extreme, but they were also reasonable.
"Some things are unreasonable if they are unreasonable! Even if they exist."
Pu Hu said this with some excitement, which made Fang Jie even more curious about this person.
"Let's not talk about this, when are you going back to Chang'an?"
Fang asked.
Pu Hu was stunned for a moment, and then said with some regret: "After leaving Chang'an, I thought I would rush back in a hurry. When I went out to do errands, I had already surpassed the rules I set for myself in the past. If it weren't for the general Don’t you dare to walk in the light after the darkness that has been experienced for so long? I still refuse to come out. I would rather hide in the dark, because I can’t see others in the dark, and others can’t see me.”
"It never occurred to me before that walking in the light would be such a joy."
"look… "
Puhu pointed at the passers-by on the street: "They saw me, but they just took a curious look. What they were curious about was why I was so dark and ugly, but this curiosity will soon pass. In the past, this kind of eyes would make me very uncomfortable. But after experiencing the darkness, I have the urge to bask in the sun more.”
Fang Jie felt that his words were contradictory: "Didn't you say that you prefer to be in the dark?"
Pu Hu smiled: "That was my idea before, and then I really got my wish and lived in the darkness. Then I realized that after too long a dark time, even a glimmer of light can make people excited."
He would have said, like you're in a huge cemetery full of dead people, and only you can walk in the dark, but you don't have a single companion to talk to. Then you will understand that a person's transformation will happen naturally, and it is only natural to change from liking darkness to fearing darkness.
But in this case, he will not say it.
"I want to know, if you haven't fulfilled the general's confession, will he blame you after you go back?"
Fang asked.
"Blame me?"
Pu Hu hesitated for a moment and then shook his head: "He won't blame me, because you don't understand the relationship between me and him. He will be disappointed, but he won't say it."
Fang Jie really didn't understand.
"Let's stay a few more days. Tan Qing Gesheng is so beautiful and doesn't have many friends. Isn't it because he lives in his own world? The reason why I think he can be friends is because I see in him a person who has always been in the The self in my fantasy."
Perhaps knowing that this sentence is too difficult to understand, Puhu smiled and explained: "Because I was born too ugly, I always feel that it is because of this that I have no friends. Therefore, when I am alone, I have a lot of friends." I can waste my time in fantasies. I imagine myself to be a particularly beautiful man, and many people will look at me when I walk on the street, but that kind of look is envy rather than ridicule."
"I kept thinking, if I were more beautiful, I would have many, many friends... I realized that I was wrong after I met Tan Qingge. He is very beautiful, so he is the self that exists in my fantasy. But he also I didn’t have any friends, so I was confused for a long time. In the constant conversation with him, I found the answer... In fact, having friends has nothing to do with appearance, but whether you are willing to open the door of your own world and let others come in. Or, whether you have friends The courage to walk into someone else's world and look inside the door that is always open."
Fang Xie understood: "So, you will have many, many friends in the future."
Puhu hummed.
At this moment, several Jinyi Schools came up from behind, whispered something in Fang Xie's ear, and then handed Fang Xie a letter.
Fang Jie took it apart and looked at it, and then the color changed.
He subconsciously looked at Puhu, and Puhu's eyes were also looking at him. Although there are not many words written in this letter, once it is publicized, the entire Central Plains will cause an uproar. The pattern of the entire Central Plains may change accordingly.
"What's wrong?"
Puhu asked.
Fang Jie handed him the secret letter in his hand: "Something happened in Chang'an City."
…
…
Because of the incident in Chang'an City, Pu Hu had to give up his plan to stay for a few more days.
"I do not believe."
Pu Hu looked at Fang Jie and said seriously: "These things are all conjectured by your subordinates, but I know the general and know that there are some things he can't do after all. So, I don't believe in this matter. Don't you guys?" I know his identity, so I have such a guess, but I can tell you for sure, the general will never kill the emperor!"
"I want to go back."
Pu Hu said: "I have to go back."
Fang Jie wanted to say, you are in such a hurry to go back, is it because you also have doubts? Even though your tone of defense for the general is so positive, you are doubting in your heart. But he didn't say it, because he knew that a person like Puhu lacked too many good things, and some words could destroy his few good things.
"Let's go by water. I'll ask Master Xiao to escort you into Gyeonggi Province. As long as you're close to Chang'an City, even a great practitioner like Zhang Yiyang won't dare to do it lightly."
Fang Jie said.
"No."
Pu Hu shook his head: "I'll go back first, and you arrange someone to take my thousand armored soldiers back. They don't know the way!"
After saying this, Pu Hu grabbed the hammer and fan and jumped onto the back of the old scalper. He patted the old scalper's neck and said, "Now we must go back as fast as possible. If you continue to be lazy, I promise you will not have a good life."
The old scalper seemed to understand Puhu's words, raised his head and let out a cry, and then rushed forward with a stomp. This old scalper, who looked so old that he was lazy to walk, turned into a yellow streamer. Fang Xie's eyes were far better than the average person's, so he could see clearly than others. Every time the old ox takes a step, it is still not fast, but every time it hits the ground, it will rush forward for a long distance. In just a moment, it disappeared from people's sight.
The white lion, which was dozing in the distance, suddenly raised its head and looked at the faint figure in the distance. It seemed that even it did not expect that the old scalper was so powerful.
"Iron Armored Army... don't know the way?"
Fang Jie looked away from the direction where Puhu disappeared, and murmured thoughtfully.
…
…
Not just Chang'an
There is almost a custom of worshiping the god of agriculture in the Central Plains this month, and as a ceremony to pray for a good harvest, it has always been valued by the people. In the past, worshiping the god of agriculture in the local area was in charge of the yamen. Under the leadership of the highest-ranking officials, all the big families sent people to participate. The common people will carry the sacrifices to the God of Agriculture and form a huge team to the Temple of the God of Agriculture to offer the sacrifices. The highest local officials must personally recite a sacrificial speech in honor of the God of Agriculture.
Fang Jie had no interest in these matters, so he simply handed it over to Marquis San Jin to make arrangements. People in Pingshang Road go six to seven out of ten, so this year's worship of the God of Agriculture seems to be much deserted.
Listening to the sound of firecrackers outside, Fang Jie kept thinking about the words Pu Hu said before leaving in a hurry. The Iron Armored Army doesn't know the way... This sentence seems to give people too much inspiration. Then Fang Xie thought of the feeling when he first saw those armored soldiers outside Yongzhou City.
It's cold and murderous.
No emotion, Gears of War.
These words all came out of his mind, and then his thinking became clearer and clearer.
While thinking about this, there was a sudden sound of footsteps at the door. It was very light, and Fang Jie could tell who it was from the sound of footsteps. He looked sideways and found that beautiful woman stopped outside the door.
Seeing her, Fang Jie felt a little embarrassed.
creamy foam
"Is something wrong?"
Fang Jiewen
Mo Ningzhi pointed to the outside: "Accompany me for a walk, you owe me so much interest."
Fang Jie shook his head and smiled wryly.
This woman is really hard to see clearly.
