Chapter 304

Fang Xie, dressed in a solemn and dignified first-class country dress, squatted down on the side of the corridor outside the Taiji palace, took out the leather bag from under the heavy and cumbersome clothes, pulled out the pipe from the inside and stuffed it with top-grade cut tobacco from Jiangnan. In front of the Tai Chi palace, which has not yet brightened up, a little spark flickers.

Fang Xie's addiction to smoking is not big, but he always feels that the pipe is something very close to the world in his previous life.

Spitting out a puff of smoke, he glanced at Xiang qingniu, who squatted hard beside him: "what are you going to do after you go back? Although your majesty can't announce the rebellion of immortal Xiao's Association from Prince Yi, your life in qingleshan must be difficult. If I guess right, it's estimated that the position of Taoist leader will be gradually transferred to Wudang Mountain by your majesty."

"What else can I do?"

Xiang qingniu couldn't squat. He just sat on the ground: "From then on, we are going to live in qingleshan with our tails between our legs. I'll go fuck myself. Shifu said that I would carry the burden of qingleshan in the future. Who would have thought that I would carry it under such circumstances. Senior brother is now locked up in the secret prison of the internal guard. One of my four martial nephews died and one was disabled in Chang'an, and the other two were going to take people outside Chang'an, As a result, he was surrounded by experts sent by his majesty. I heard that the elder martial brother was captured. One of the two martial nephews committed suicide and the other surrendered... "

Xiang qingniu sighed: "two of the four gods in Qingle mountain died, and the two who were caught must come to the same end. Now there are only a group of little Taoists in Qingle mountain who don't know what happened. It's a dream to maintain the dignity of Qingle mountain with my cultivation!"

"When did you realize your strength so clearly?"

Fang Xie smiled and said, "in fact, you don't have to worry so much. Since your majesty won't tell the world about qingleshan's rebellion, you pretend that nothing has happened. If there is no accident, the will to tell the world will also say that immortal Xiao, the leader of qingleshan, and the four disciples of you died for your country in the desperate struggle with rebellion. No one dares to come to the door to provoke at this time."

"I hope so."

Xiang qingniu breathed a long sigh of relief. Looking at the still dark and deep sky, he murmured, "I haven't figured out what he's trying to figure out, senior brother."

"Then don't think about it."

Fang Xie patted him on the shoulder: "as long as the signboard of qingleshan hasn't fallen down, don't worry too much. Didn't your master say that you are the one with the best talent among his disciples? If you devote yourself to practice for ten or eight years, you may not be able to reach the realm of your senior brother."

"Is that useful?"

Xiang qingniu shook his head: "if I get to such a state, I will become more and more greedy. I'd rather be a waste who can't practice."

"The fault lies not in the realm of cultivation, but in thought."

Fang Xie thought for a moment and said, "what your elder martial brother pursues is something illusory. What he wants to do is not a man, but a man in heaven. Such a man will go crazy sooner or later even if he doesn't seek rebellion. Unlike you, you've never been a person who can fight."

"Are you talking about me, loser?"

"No... it's good for a gentleman not to argue."

Xiang qingniu said to himself, "why do all the words that come out of your mouth now seem so hypocritical? People like me are called gentlemen. That gentleman is really worthless."

"You're wrong."

Fang Xie smiled and said, "most of the gentlemen in the world are worthless, because they are hypocrites. People with true temperament are worth money and don't change."

"True hooligans are also true feelings. According to you, it has become a good moral character?"

"Oh, you see, being able to joke proves that you are not so desperate."

Fang Xie took a hard sip of his pipe, and then slowly blew out two thick smoke from his nostrils. In the clear morning, the smoke looked very white and thick. He looked like a monster with fireworks.

"Most of the time, people think they have reached a dead end, and they can't see clearly the way they are walking... But in fact, most of the time, they are deceiving themselves. The reason for deceiving themselves is fear. Most of the time, what you think you absolutely can't do is that you are too afraid and worried. You worry that you will never be able to step into the abyss with one foot , I'm afraid I can't maintain qingleshan. I'm sorry to everyone. "

"But you haven't gone forward yet. How do you know that there are no bright future after stepping through this thorn? Maybe you will feel that I am a little hypocritical when I say these. Anyone can say one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, but since truth can become truth, it is naturally desirable."

"When everyone faces a dilemma he has never faced before, the first reaction of normal people will certainly be fear, confusion and fear. If this dilemma can be avoided and bypassed, no one will be stupid - forced to break through to prove that he is strong. But if this dilemma can't be avoided and bypassed, and the road behind has collapsed, you can only move forward If you still don't have the courage to go out, it's even more stupid - forced. "

Xiang qingniu nodded thoughtfully: "it sounds reasonable."

He took the pipe from Fang Xie's hand, put it into his mouth and took a hard puff, and then began to cough violently: "Fang Xie... Keke... You really looked like a magic stick when you just spoke. It's really a waste not to engage in the sect with such a foundation... Keke... Otherwise you won't be an official. I'll give you the qingleshan palm sect and I'll be a thug for you."

"You mean I should go to the gang?"

Fang Xie glanced: "how worthless! Gangs without imperial court background are doomed to fail. In the future, I will be an official in the imperial court, and you will engage in gangs in the Jianghu. Together, we can unify the Jianghu in a few years. Then we will collect protection fees next to each sect, and whoever doesn't pay will be killed!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Xiang qingniu said, "how can we just take money from the clan? Since we want to do evil, we should be more thorough... All businesses and shops in the world have to pay us protection fees. If anyone dares to resist, I will send someone to throw wreaths and fireworks bombs in his yard, block his door, pour dog blood, rush in at midnight while they are sleeping, wrap a quilt and beat them up."

"Yes!"

Fang Xie said, "if you dare not hand it in at that time, I'll let the government come forward and tear down his shop!"

"If you don't agree to dismantle it, you can honestly pay the silver! According to this, we'll be rich before long."

Xiang qingniu smiled. He was still not used to smoking, so he stuffed his pipe into Fang Xie. After taking a sip, Fang Xie smiled and asked, "is it cool now?"

"A little cool!"

"Just be cool"

Fang Xie knocked his pipe on the ground, remained silent for a while and said, "in fact, I have a better idea."

"What?"

Xiang qingniu asked curiously.

Fang Xie murmured, "you said, wouldn't it be better if we could kill all the people we just said, one after another, and kill one without accepting the punishment of the law?"

"I - Fuck!"

Xiang qingniu jumped and said, "that's fucking cool!"

……

……

Fang Xie didn't know what the emperor said to Xiang qingniu. The emperor met Xiang qingniu first and then Xiang qingniu. When Xiang qingniu came out of Dongnuan Pavilion, Fang Xie was called in and the two passed by. But Fang Xie could see that the expression on Xiang qingniu's face was much relaxed. Obviously, the emperor not only scolded, but also encouraged and encouraged.

The two people looked at each other and smiled. They separated before they had time to say more. Fang Xie looked at Xiang qingniu, who picked up the corners of his mouth and smiled. Xiang qingniu looked at Fang Xie, pouted and shook his head a few times. One said cherish, the other said goodbye, but no one expected that the next time we saw each other, things had changed.

Suddenly, the fat man had to face everything directly. When he left, his heart was full of Fang Xie's words. After returning to qingleshan, he did face many difficulties that were difficult to solve. Whenever he felt that he was about to fall, he would inexplicably think of the pipe in Fang Xie's hand.

Think of the demon squatting in the dim light of the morning and puffing smoke suddenly and secretly.

……

……

"Minister fangxie, knock on your majesty!"

Fang Xie solemnly saluted, then got up and stood aside.

The emperor, who had only slept for an hour, could not hide his fatigue. He rubbed the corner of his eyebrows and looked at Fang Xie: "there's nothing to tell you. Although you're young, I can trust your ability. If you go to the southwest, just do your best. Don't betray my trust in you."

"I will live up to my mission."

Fang Jiedao.

The emperor, um, looked up at the sky outside and murmured, "it's almost time to go to the imperial court again... Go ahead. I heard that old Huai plans to go with you. He is a veteran of three dynasties. The most important thing is his experience. Just ask him for advice along the way."

"I understand. I'm leaving."

Fang Xie bent down.

The emperor waved his hand wearily, "go."

After a few words of conversation, Fang Xie withdrew from Dongnuan Pavilion. I don't know why, seeing the emperor Fang Xie this time, my heart was full of desolation. He had the illusion that the emperor was getting older day by day at a speed visible to the naked eye.

When he walked out of the Tai Chi palace, Fang Xie couldn't help looking back.

In the dim light of the morning, the tall palace wall blocked his sight.

In the distance came the sound of gongs, and it was time to open the gate. Fang Xie boarded the carriage, lifted the curtain of the window after sitting, looked at the scattered pedestrians outside and smelled the morning air of Chang'an city. A kind of reluctance suddenly came out of his heart and soon spread to his whole body.

The carriage rolled over the face of the bluestone slab and moved forward slightly.

At the corner of East 23rd Street, Fang Xie met his own people. Several carriages drove out of the gate slowly under the escort of the Imperial Guard of honor.

On horseback, a dozen bodyguards in flying fish robes and red cloaks opened the way. In the two carriages behind, there were officials from the Ministry of rites. Then there is the carriage with Shen Qing fan. In the fourth carriage are Chen hum and Chen ha. The fifth carriage was Fang Xie, and Nie Xiaoju was driving. Black boy Yan Kuang and scholar Chen Xiaoru rode on separate sides. Behind them were the remaining flying fish robes. Mu Xiaoyao, wearing thousands of costumes, rode a horse and took people to protect Fang Xie's carriage.

Behind the imperial envoy team, followed by a team of soldiers who changed into left avant-garde armor. Although the number of these soldiers is small and only have more than 20 horses, they seem to have the momentum of thousands of troops. You don't need to look carefully to know that these people are elites who have experienced many battles.

These people were led by Ye Jinnan, the left avant-garde sippinlang, who also put on the general's armor. There was also a carriage behind their team. In the carriage, a man leaned against it. He tried to put his head out of the window and looked at the team in front. His eyes were full of hatred and malice.
