Fang Xie was at a loss for what to do in Xiang Qingniu's faint words. Xiang Qingniu always seems to be a carefree fat man, no one would think that a person like him would have any lingering love stories. In fact, his story is not lingering, but... that is love, right
Fang Jie wanted to say something to comfort him, but Xiang Qingniu rubbed his nose and took a bite of the grilled fish: "Damn it...it's not cooked yet."
Fang Jie wanted to laugh, but couldn't.
"No need to say anything..."
Xiang Qingniu smiled at the other party: "In fact, everyone has a story hidden deep in their hearts, but some people's stories happened in real life, and some people's stories are just their own visions. But whether it is true or not, The story of existence or longing, every time I think about it, I feel a little sad.”
He continued to grill the fish: "Actually, maybe I am nothing. If you walk on the street and see someone casually, maybe love and partner are not the same person. If you ask a man casually, Do you have a woman who is not your own that you have been thinking about? As long as he is willing to tell the truth, he will almost always get an affirmative answer. "
"So there's no need for consolation."
Xiang Qingniu said with a smile: "If a story is told too much to people, the story will lose its flavor. A woman, if she tells people too much, she will lose her feeling. A love, if it is comforted too much That kind of worry is gone. If you don’t mention it to someone, there will be no comfort. Then what you miss is that person’s story. If you have been comforted too much, then mention it again. In fact, all you want is comfort from others. "
Fang Jie was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that these words really made sense.
"So don't comfort me."
Xiang Qingniu began to return to his usual demeanor, and when he saw that the grilled fish was cooked, he let go of his cheeks and began to chew: "Occasionally dreaming and occasionally thinking about it, it's good..."
Fang Jie was silent for a while, thinking that if Xiang Qingniu and the princess hadn't gone wrong that day, they met and talked to each other, would it be a happy ending
But the similarity is something that always appears before anticipation and after nostalgia, and has no meaning at all.
"Have you thought about what to name your child?"
Xiang Qingniu suddenly asked.
Fang Jie smiled: "I wanted to say that I haven't had time to think about it, but I have been thinking about it for a long time, but I have never thought of a name that satisfies me. I myself escaped from death for more than ten years. It’s hard work. So I hope the child can be safe, healthy and happy, but now I know that the child’s name is the expectation of the parents.”
"How about calling Fang An?"
Xiang Qingniu said.
After he finished speaking, he shook his head again: "It's a bit vulgar, why don't you call it Fang Le? It's convenient and good... Sigh, it's not good. If you want to choose a name with meaning, it's best that it can be used by both boys and girls. Ruyu? How about Fang Shiyu?"
Fang Jie was surprised, tilted his head and asked Xiang Qingniu, "Where did you come from?"
Seeing that he was serious about asking, Xiang Qingniu thought for a while before answering: "Mother's belly."
Fang Jie smiled, knowing that he was just too sensitive. It's just that the name did bring back a lot of memories for him. For a moment, he really thought that Xiang Qingniu had traveled from another world just like himself.
"Not urgent."
Fang Jie said, "Ask them if they have thought of a good name after you go back."
Xiang Qingniu nodded: "That's right, women always think more carefully about this aspect. To be honest, I really envy you. Now it seems that everything should be there. Women's and children's careers... I have always been curious , people like you don’t seem to be the kind of natural heroes who exist just to control the world. There are too many things in you that are not qualified for a hero, so I always feel that what you want may not be what others think Like that."
"I want to say, I haven't figured out what I want, do you believe me?"
"letter."
Xiang Qingniu pointed to himself: "For example, sometimes I want to find a woman who loves me and loves me, and lives in seclusion in a place with beautiful mountains and rivers. It doesn't matter whether I have children or not. It's fine if you and I are together. It's like this for a lifetime. Love each other. Sometimes I think, I want to have many wives, live in a large house, eat and drink comfortably, and have dozens of children. Sometimes I think, what do women want? Do whatever you want What, you can go wherever you want."
Fang Jie shook his head: "I'm just trying my best to see where I'm going."
"You're such a weirdo sometimes."
Xiang Qingniu said.
"I feel the same way myself."
Fang Jie smiled, lying on the grass and looking at the sky: "A question for you... If a person dies, he thinks he is dead, but he doesn't die, but suddenly goes to another world to live on. If there is really a so-called God who is in charge of life and death, why do you think this happened?"
Xiang Qingniu thought about it carefully and then answered seriously: "Because God drank too much?"
Fang Jie laughed out loud, but sighed inwardly... Sure enough, no one would believe it.

Jiangnan
Liuzhou City
The night was very quiet. If this small city hadn't been for the fact that Luo Tu proclaimed himself emperor here, it might not have appeared in the history books, let alone attract the attention of all quarters. From time to time, there were bangs of clappers on the streets of the city, and the night watchmen walked through the streets shouting the words to be careful of candles.
"Watch out for the candles?"
I don't know why, after hearing this sentence many times, Shengtu has never had any special emotion, but tonight, he suddenly thought of people's fear of fire.
"I'm just a fire."
He murmured, with a strange look on his face.
The current quiet night is just an illusion, and the city may be destroyed by war in a short time. Shengtu knew very well that the moment he proclaimed his enthronement and proclaimed himself emperor in this city, the city would only go in two directions. It's either destruction or glory... It will never return to mediocrity like before.
He has given enormous meaning to the city.
In the two hundred years since the founding of the Sui Dynasty, the first person who dared to call himself emperor stood here. Whether the people in Liuzhou City are willing or not, from that moment on they are no longer Sui people, but the people of Dasheng Kingdom. Shengtu likes this feeling. He alone has put a label on hundreds of thousands or even millions of people.
belongs to his label.
He raised his hands and put a circle in front of his eyes. The sky he saw through this circle was only such a small piece. However, this piece is indeed his own, unique.
"It turns out that there are such masters beside Yang Jian..."
Shengtu slowly put down his hand and turned around.
A young monk dressed in white as snow stood behind him. Under the moonlight, the flawless face of this young monk appeared even more flawless. Standing there, he seemed to be no longer a person, but a blooming white lotus. The white monk's robe is his petals, and he himself is the purest stamen.
"You do have courage."
Da Zizai looked at Shengtu with a smile and said, "You already noticed that I was coming, but you didn't turn around until I appeared behind you. People like you must be very confident. I like to talk to confident people. Because all confident people at least know what their strengths are, and they also know what their weaknesses are.”
Shengtu suddenly smiled: "Sure enough, there is nothing eternal in this world. Yang Jian, who ordered the Sui Dynasty not to have Buddhas, actually has a great practitioner of the Buddhist sect by his side... , isn't it a loud slap in the face to himself?"
"Haven't you ever thought that you will be loyal to Luo Yao to the end?"
Feel free to ask.
Shengtu couldn't answer.
"The world remains unchanged, only people change."
The smile on Da Zizai's face is very amiable, without any hostility.
"You came to me to discuss this?"
Luo Tu asked with a sneer.
"Of course not."
Da Zizai casually sat down on a chair, put his hands round in front of his body: "I came because I think some things can be brought to the end without going through the most tragic way. Buddhists are merciful and will always I thought, if everything was resolved without any fights, that would be the perfect way."
"Narcissists generally think beautiful."
Sheng Tu shrugged his shoulders and said.
"yes."
Da Zizai is not angry: "The reason why a narcissistic person is narcissistic is definitely not because he is an idiot. You say that I am narcissistic, isn't this an admission? And you, aren't you a narcissistic person?"
"I don't have time to talk to you about these twists and turns. I have long heard that Buddhists are the best at talking. They can turn bad into good and dead into life. No one is better at deceiving people than you. The reason why I allow you to come behind me is not because I want to hear you talking nonsense."
"Then tell the truth."
Da Zizai said: "Do you think you are sure to defeat Yang Jian?"
Shengtu was silent for a while and then said: "There is Jin Shixiong behind Yang Jian. I may not be able to defeat Yang Jian alone, but with Jin Shixiong, I have a 90% chance of winning."
"That's not how addition works."
Da Zizai shook his head: "An ordinary man wanted to beat a strong man, so he hired a baby as a helper... This is not a smart way, but an idiot."
He pointed to himself: "What's more, now the strong man has also found a helper who is also a strong man."
"Just say what you have to say."
Shengtu said coldly: "If you just come to tell me that you are a strong man, then I don't mind beating you into a crippled strong man."
Da Zizai was still not angry, looked at Shengtu and said seriously: "I can guess why you are in a hurry to become emperor, it is because you are not sure about this battle, isn't it? Man, since you have come to In this step, it would be a pity if I didn’t become the emperor once, even if it’s just for a day.”
Shengtu smiled; "It's been more than a day."
Da Zizai said: "You have already done it, is it not enough?"
"Those who sit on it don't feel enough."
Sheng Tu replied.
Da Zizai shook his head: "That depends on whether you have the ability to sit still... Now that you have become the emperor and your wish has been fulfilled, why don't you calm down and think about it? I can give you a direction... You will definitely lose this battle, but If you lose, you will die. No matter who you are, princes or civilians, you don’t want to die. You have struggled and climbed to the present, and naturally you don’t want to die more than ordinary people... What you have gained will inevitably be lost. Isn’t it time to think about how to save your life? time?"
Shengtu laughed loudly: "You can shut up now, I can guess what you want to say... You must be thinking, I can't beat you and Yang Jian teaming up, why don't you make some deals with Yang Jian without telling Yang Jian, for example, you promise that I will not die , and I will follow any instructions from you in the future, right?"
Da Zizai asked: "Compared to death, is this not good?"
Shengtu shook his head: "If it was in the past, I might have nodded and agreed. But now it's different... I am the emperor, no matter what, I am the emperor. To be an emperor... you must have the dignity of being an emperor."
He asked Da Zizai: "Do you know what dignity is?"
