On the fourth day after the Black Banner Army arrived in Dali City, people from Xiaoqi School sent a secret letter to Fang Jie. After Fang Jie read the secret letter, a ball of golden flames appeared in his palm, and the letter was immediately burned. On the same day, he took Wu Yiyi, the Marquis of Sanjin, and Xiang Qingniu, the master of the one-stop meditation, left the camp.
Few people in the camp knew that Fang Jie had left, not even his wife.
A white lion and two steeds flew past on the path. Although the speed of the western domain colt was not comparable to that of the white lion, it was fast enough, but war horses did not have the ability to run fast and smoothly. The bump is more violent. So much so that Xiang Qingniu, who was not used to riding a horse, had to hold the rein with one hand and support his belly with the other. This feeling of fat flying up and down made him a little annoyed.
Fang Jie glanced at him and couldn't help but smile, his voice penetrated the strong wind and sent it into Xiang Qingniu's ears.
"What are you doing holding your belly? Shouldn't it be your chest that's shaking so badly?"
Xiang Qingniu gave Fang Jie a hard look: "If you mock me again, your chest will choke to death."
Fang Jie laughed and said, "I was scared to death."
Xiang Qingniu himself couldn't help laughing: "I must lose weight, I'm going to spit it out so badly. But it should be useful to ride a horse like this often. These breasts take off up and down, won't they shake and shake?" Can you throw out your pectoral muscles? Thinking about it is exciting, I want to be a strong man!"
Fang Jie added to the picture in his mind, and couldn't help feeling cold: "Is the contour line of the pectoral muscles that are thrown out different from the one that was trained?"
Xiang Qingniu also made up his mind, and then shuddered: "Is it up or down?"
The two looked at each other and laughed, but Wu Yidao remained silent all the time. He didn't understand why such a low-level joke between Fang Jie and Xiang Qingniu seemed so enjoyable, and he didn't understand why Fang Jie was in Xiang Qingniu's place. Niu Qianqian didn't care about the identity of the commander of the Black Banner Army at all. But he didn't have time to pay attention to these, because he didn't understand why he only brought himself and Xiang Qingniu, not even the guards.
"My lord, why didn't you know that the Xiaoqi School would select elite guards?"
In the end, he still couldn't help asking, because he always felt that Fang Jie's decision was a bit hasty.
"Several ladies have profound cultivation bases, if they can accompany them, there will be no difference."
Fang Jie smiled after hearing this: "I know that their cultivation bases are not low. Except for Wanyan, any one of them can stir up troubles in the Jianghu. But...San Jin Hou, Yin Yu's cultivation base It's not bad, what would you think if I took her with me when I went out to face danger?"
Wu Yiyi was shocked and didn't know how to answer.
"No matter how high their cultivation level is, they are still women. Even if they are not my women, they are still women. Although I have never thought that women must be weaker than men, I always believe that women should stand behind men. They are strong, So let them stand in front of men?"
Fang Jie smiled: "If I couldn't face all this alone before, I wouldn't refuse them to help me. But now, I just hope that they are all safe and sound, including Yinyu."
Wu Yiyi nodded: "This subordinate understands."
Fang Jie urged the white lion, and said while galloping: "I have never been a moral gentleman. I think it is shameful to be protected by a woman when I am weak, but it is really shameful to be protected by a woman when I am strong." It's a very embarrassing thing."
Wu Yidao's face changed a little, as if he felt that Fang Jie's thinking was a little... unreasonable. In Wu Yidao's view, no matter if it is a man or a woman, as long as it can be used, it should be used. So he said he understood, but in fact he didn't understand at all. Fang Jie's thinking seems to be a little different from this era. In this era, once a woman has a man, she is almost regarded as the man's accessory. Women must obey everything about men, especially women from humble backgrounds.
Although the status of women in this society is not particularly low, it is rare for women to be placed in a high position.
Xiang Qingniu glanced at Wu Yidao, smiled and said, "Master Hou still doesn't understand Fang Jie's meaning? My own woman can live and die together, but that's when you have to live and die together." Otherwise, let’s keep the woman at home. No matter how strong a woman is, she will not be proud of pushing herself out when a man encounters a problem, but is satisfied with protecting herself behind a man.”
"Huh."
Fang Jie said with a smile: "You can be good friends with women like this, why do you hide when you meet women?"
Xiang Qingniu curled his lips: "Is it just a matter of hooking my fingers to want a woman? The reason why I don't want a woman is because the Taoist doesn't want to be entangled in shackles. I'm like a free wind. Leave a back view that women admire, but not a good story."
Fang Jie said with a smile: "This is really a realm."
Xiang Qingniu nodded solemnly: "I'm the kind of man in the legend who only cares about women and doesn't let them tie him down."
Once the conversation between him and Fang Jie started, Wu Yiyi couldn't intervene anymore.
"arrive."
Fang Jie and Xiang Qingniu said two words almost at the same time, and then reined in their horses. But Wu Dao was the first to notice something, but he was the last to rein in the horse.
The three looked at each other, then got down and stood up.
…
…
This is a small road through the forest. Although it is far less smooth and easy to walk than the official road, it is much closer to Dali from here. The woods are very dense, and occasionally a bird chirps in a low voice, the sound is very soft, it seems that it is afraid of something. It was as if in the deepest part of the deep forest, some terrifying beast was sleeping.
A sound of horseshoes came from the opposite side, tearing apart the tranquility like a stone thrown into the lake.
"Fifteen horses."
Xiang Qingniu smiled: "It seems that people don't have the consciousness to fight alone like you."
Fang Jie raised the corners of his mouth and did not speak.
Not long after, fifteen war horses appeared from the other side of the path. The horses' hoofs trampled the weeds and dust on the road. These fifteen appeared as if an army had appeared.
The leader on the horse reined in his horse and stopped tens of meters away. He seemed not at all surprised to see Fang Jie here, but there was a sense of relief in his eyes.
"I guess you'll be waiting halfway."
He said.
Fang Jie nodded: "We can't settle these matters in the camp. I don't want the people below to see this scene."
The man on the horse hummed: "You are indeed a lot more mature than before. Although you started to calculate in Chang'an City, you still seemed a little immature. Now you are already a qualified leader."
"Don't you call me uncle?"
he asks.
Fang Jie shook his head: "It's hypocritical."
The leading knight on the horse is Luo Weiran. He got off the horse with one leg, straightened his robe, and then walked forward slowly. The fourteen people behind also dismounted immediately, and the swallowtail followed behind him. . These fourteen people are old and young, it seems that the oldest can be fifty or sixty years old, and the youngest is only about twenty years old.
"That's right, my uncle's name is not worthy of the name, just like your identity as the disciple of the loyal prince has never been worthy of the name. But it is precisely because of this identity that you got the first bucket of benefits from Chang'an City. Now you want to deny it? It’s a bit like crossing the river and tearing down the bridge.”
Fang Jie smiled and said, "Why didn't you get some benefits from being the leader of the Black Banner Army, Master Fang Jie? Why is it a bit shameless to mention this identity now?"
Luo Weiran smiled: "In this world, you use me and I use you. There is no real relationship. Now I have to say something sour. I joined the Black Banner Army to control a force. It's a pity that I didn't expect that the people at Ouchi's bodyguard office would be divided so quickly by you. If I had known that a group of people would be transferred to your side, I shouldn't have sent people to protect you in the first place."
"protect me?"
Fang Jie shook his head: "Thank you."
Luo Weiran nodded without changing his expression: "You're welcome."
"Are you curious, why did I leave the team and come out to meet you as you wish?"
Luo Weiran asked.
Fang Jie nodded, but did not answer.
Luo Weiran couldn't help laughing: "Because I know you... Since you want me to leave the team and come to see you alone, it means that you don't want to reveal this matter to everyone. You have to let the people below think that The Black Banner Army is still monolithic, you want to suppress this matter, so you let me come to see you alone, then you will not bring many people to see me. For me, this is not an opportunity? If it is not because of this The opportunity is very good, even if I don't succeed, I can pull a team of more than 10,000 people to leave."
"You talk too much."
Fang Jie smiled: "Being very confident in front of the enemy and speaking a lot is often because of lack of confidence."
Luo Weiran sighed: "Enemy... I was a little surprised when the word came out of your mouth. I thought you were still the same Fang Jie. As long as you treat people who are good to you, you will return them even better. Even if it is just with you You will try your best to maintain the relationship with people you have a little bond with, and you are cuter in the original."
Fang Jie smiled and said, "Thank you, I never thought I was cute."
Luo Weiran looked back at his subordinates: "I brought people here, and you brought people here too."
He moved his gaze to Xiang Qingniu: "You seem to be on the wrong team."
Xiang Qingniu was silent for a while and said, "Because you stood on the wrong side."
Luo Weiran sneered: "Back when the senior brother was working in Chang'an City, you were against the senior brother. Now you are against me again. Do you think that only the second senior brother is your senior brother?"
"No."
Xiang Qingniu shook his head: "You are all my senior brothers, and you will never change. When I was in Chang'an City, I stood opposite the senior brother because the senior brother was wrong. Now I am standing opposite you because you were wrong. .You said that I was on the wrong team, because you were not on the team. If you are standing here as a disciple of Wan Jiantang, then I am indeed in the wrong position. But are you?"
Luo Weiran was silent for a while and then shook his head: "Except for the second senior brother, who has ever really done things as a disciple of Wanjiantang? After the senior brother established the Qiguan, there is no longer any relationship with Wanjiantang. It's nothing to do with it. I have no entanglements with Wan Jian Tang after I entered the Ouchi Guard Office. As for you... when did you realize that you are a disciple of Wan Jian Tang? But... I was really hypocritical in what I said just now, Since you are already standing opposite me, why should I ask you if you will stand over."
But Xiang Qingniu asked solemnly: "Can't you come here?"
Luo Weiran was stunned, and then burst out laughing, laughing so freely: "You are still my little junior brother, the little junior brother who has not changed a bit in all these years, the little junior brother who has always been innocent..."
Luo Weiran laughed enough, laughed until tears flowed and asked, "Will you kill me?"
Xiang Qingniu shook his head again: "No."
Luo Weiran said coldly: "Then you go, because if I do it, I will kill you."
