Fang Jie didn't seem to have any difficulties from the time he started to kill the fourteen people. But when he walked out of the blood mist slowly, his face didn't feel relaxed, and for some reason, something special flashed in his eyes. He gave Luo Weiran a meaningful look. That look wasn't hostility at all, but something particularly complicated.
Luo Weiran clapped his hands a few times, with a smile on his lips all the time: "After three days away from Shibai, it's really impressive... When you were in Chang'an, you couldn't practice cultivation, and you relied on your special physique in the Yanwu Academy. At that time, everyone knew that the reason why you won the first place was not because you were the strongest, but because the late emperor had already expressed his attitude... The emperor's attitude has been made clear, even if there is someone stronger than you Will it still hold you down?"
In fact, there is nothing wrong with this statement, and Fang Jie himself knows it very well. When he entered the Yanwu Academy for the test, it was really difficult for him to win the first place with his own strength. Not a single idiot participated in the entrance examination for the Martial Arts Academy, and those who stand out among them all have great strength behind them. How could it be possible for these people not to see the emperor's intentions
Before the Yanwu Academy entered the test, the emperor summoned Fang Xie several times, and praised Fang Xie in front of several important ministers, and in front of several important officials, Fang Jie's name was mentioned on the talent record. At least, this is an obvious signal that the emperor wants Fang Jie to win the championship.
At that time, the one who had the strength to overwhelm Fang Jie was Yu Xiao, the son of Yu Manlou, the general of Zuo Wuwei. It would be strange if Yu Manlou couldn't see the emperor's thoughts with his eyesight, so he would naturally warn Yu Xiao not to fight Fang Jie. Solve the puzzle too hard. The other is Pei Chuxing, whose father is Pei Yan, the servant of Huangmen. Apart from Su Buwei, Pei Yan is the closest person to the emperor, so he naturally understands the emperor's thoughts.
As for Xie Fuyao, he also understands. That's why he took the initiative to challenge Fang Jie during the entrance examination at the Academy of Martial Arts, and then lost to Fang Jie... He can't win the first place, and his name must be remembered.
Fang Jie hummed: "Many people understand this."
Luo Weiran said: "But now, none of those people are as good as you. As far as I know, Yu Manlou's son Yu Xiao escaped from Chang'an City, and died at your hands a while ago. Pei Yan's son Pei Chuxing also He ran away, but he hid in some unknown place and dared not come out. Xie Fuyao, you have already left him far behind."
Fang Jie said: "I don't want to thank you for your praise. In addition... the fact that Yu Xiao and Pei Chuxing were able to escape from Chang'an City was probably related to you, right?"
Luo Weiran laughed loudly: "It's better to keep those young people with great potential. It's just that I underestimated them. After leaving Chang'an, they got rid of their control one after another."
Fang Jie shrugged his shoulders, noncommittal.
"It doesn't matter who dies and who lives today."
Luo Weiran was silent for a while and then suddenly said: "I have to say a few words. It is not easy for you to get to where you are today. If it is not inevitable, I actually don't want to touch your foundation. It's just that the ability of Ouchi Guards is no longer there. Conquering all directions, I can only think of other ways."
"You mean, don't blame you?"
Fang asked.
"No."
Luo Weiran said: "I want to say..."
"I don't know what you want to say, but I know what you want to do."
Fang Jie suddenly smiled: "You didn't come to kill me, you came to ask for death."
As soon as these words came out, Luo Weiran's expression suddenly changed!
"Crack clap clap."
There was another burst of applause in the woods, and a very lazy voice said with a smile: "I said you can't hide it from him. In this world, there are very few people who can hide anything from him. He is no longer It turned out that the young man whose vision was only three feet in front of him, I told you that as long as you met, he would see his flaws, but you still don't believe it... This world is really no longer for old guys like you and me The world is gone, but the world of young people like him."
A man in brocade clothes came out of the forest with steady steps.
When Fang Xie saw him, his eyes froze slightly. With Fang Xie's current cultivation level, he didn't realize that this person was hiding not far away.
"Public envoy, long time no see."
He said.
Hou Wenji clasped his fists at the opponent: "Master Guo, long time no see."
…
…
Hou Wenji looked at the corpses on the ground, and couldn't help sighing: "It's a pity to waste more than a dozen lives."
He walked not far from Fang Jie's body, and looked back at Luo Weiran: "I walked in front of you to talk, are you a little uncomfortable?"
When these words were said, Fang Jie suddenly realized that Hou Wenji had been behind Luo Weiran all along. At the beginning in Chang'an City, Luo Weiran was the commander of the Ouchi Guards Office, and Hou Wenji was the envoy of the Qingya Township. Most people only knew Luo Wei but didn't know Hou Wenji. .
Even those who know these have never really understood the two of them.
Fang Jie was in a daze for a moment, and vaguely understood why he hadn't noticed that Hou Wenji was hiding not far away. That's because Hou Wenji's temperament is exactly the same as Luo Weiran's! As long as Hou Wenji doesn't show up, he won't be noticed no matter where he hides, because he is not himself at all, but Luo Weiran.
If the two of them appear separately, people will think that Luo Weiran is Luo Weiran and Hou Wenji is Hou Wenji. But if the two of them appear in the same place at the same time, then Luo Weiran is Luo Weiran, and Hou Wenji is also Luo Weiran. After thinking of this, Fang Jie felt relieved.
If he really fought with Luo Weiran just now, then Hou Wenji would definitely give him a headache. Because when Luo Weiran was in the open, Hou Wenji was an invisible Luo Weiran.
Somewhat unbelievable.
Fang Jie discovered for the first time and had to admit that some people are the shadow of another person, and the real threat actually comes from this shadow, because no one will be wary of the shadow killing people.
Hou Wenji is a very powerful shadow.
"You just said that the reason why you wanted to meet Luo Weiran alone was because you didn't want the people below to know that there was a dispute within the Black Banner Army. Lost Luo Weiran... You brought Wu Yiyi, Marquis of Sanjin, and Xiang Qingniu, I can see your attitude from the two people you brought with you."
Hou Wenji explained to the other party: "From the beginning, you never thought of killing Luo Weiran. Moreover, you guessed the truth from the beginning. That's why you chose to avoid your subordinates and meet Luo Weiran alone Therefore, San Jinhou should have killed those people Luo Weiran who had been inserted into the Black Flag Army before that, and it was definitely not a public disposal, but let those people die quietly, and the people below did not will know."
He paused and continued: "Ouchi guards who are in the Huotong Tianxia Bank have been found so many people, and they should not stop there anyway, and do not continue to investigate. On the surface, these people should be It's a restless cancer, and no one knows when it will develop. But as far as I know, Marquis San Jin didn't order to continue the investigation."
He glanced at Fang Jie: "That's why I told Luo Weiran before I came that Fang Jie might have already guessed your thoughts."
Fang Jie nodded: "Actually, it's not difficult to guess."
He walked back a few steps and returned to Xiang Qingniu.
"It's actually not difficult to guess from the very beginning. I just didn't expect the commander to use such deep feelings. There are very few people in the Sui court, civil servants or military generals, who are willing to die for the Yang family. I thought that the three words Luo Weiran would definitely not appear in these names, I was wrong."
Fang Jie said with some emotion.
Hou Wenji shrugged his shoulders: "Anyway, I won't, but he will definitely, as long as it is necessary, he will definitely choose that."
Hou Wenji walked up to Luo Weiran, and found a cleaner place to sit down: "Actually, everyone doesn't think that the Commander of the Ouchi Guards will die for the Yang family, because the world is full of unclean people." Trust is full of betrayal and conspiracies. This is an era when people can die for their own interests. Few people will die because of unreliable and worthless things like feelings. Especially those who can control the big Luo Weiran from the inner guard seems to have no reason to die because of feelings."
"Things that the world doesn't believe will happen."
Hou Wenji sighed and said, "This world is really fucking fucked up."
…
…
At this point, Xiang Qingniu seemed a little confused, he didn't know why things had these turning points, so he looked at Fang Jie and then at Luo Weiran, his eyes were full of confusion. But Wu Yidao's expression was very calm, obviously he had fully understood what was going on.
"It's actually not that complicated, it's just a little unbelievable."
Wu Yidao said to Xiang Qingniu: "At first, your senior brother began to send people from the Donei Guards Department into the Black Banner Army because he wanted to control an army outside Chang'an for the little emperor. The Donee Guards Department is powerful but not The army, if Luo Weiran returned to Chang'an City when the little emperor first came to the throne, it would not be of much help. At that time, the little emperor and Luo Weiran must have been in contact. A strong army is more useful."
"Luo Weiran has been in Chang'an for so many years, and his strength is in the Ouchi guards. He only has hatred and no kindness with those big families. It is obviously impossible to develop an army by himself. Therefore, he plans to start from the black flag. Let’s do it in the army. At that time, Fang Jie set the direction of the march to Yongzhou to lead the troops to the south, and almost all the affairs of the Zhuqueshan camp were entrusted to him. For him, this opportunity should not be missed no matter what.”
Wu Yidao sighed slightly: "However, the soldiers Fang Xie left behind are all veterans of the Black Banner Army, and the generals leading the army are all Fang Xie's old troops. Among the new army, although the combat power of the new army is far inferior to that of the veterans, it is better to control. In order not to be noticed or suspected, he chose to recruit people who were recruited by the Ouchi guards. Fang Jie realized that it was me who was suspicious, not him."
"but then… "
Wu Yidao said with some emotion: "Luo Weiran didn't expect the accident to happen so quickly that his entire plan had to be changed... The little emperor died."
Xiang Qingniu listened quietly and waited quietly, because he knew that Wu Yidao's speculation next was the key to explaining why Luo Weiran wanted to die on purpose. He didn't understand how someone like the third senior brother would deliberately seek death, but he had already grasped the key word.
emotion
It turns out that this world is not just dark and ruthless.
