Conquer the World

Chapter 862: Chou Remains That Day

The people will not be in charge of it, nor will they see the seemingly calm torrent of the East Xinjiang, nor the disaster that may come tomorrow. They can only see today's day and run for today.It is this time when spring broadcasts, and there are not many pedestrians on the official road.

When the farmers working in the fields heard the sound of thunder and thunder rolling against the ground from a distance, they all stood up and looked in the direction where the sound came.They are curious, and also take the opportunity of curiosity to straighten their waists and relax.The children were playing on the side of the road, not paying attention to why his father's tired waist looked so strange.They also don't understand why his father put his hands on his waist when he stood up, gasped and sweated.

When they saw that it was a formidable army, the adults in the field began to call the children out of officialdom with a panic.The children ran into the arms of their parents as if they were in danger and would get under the wings of their parents.

I have n’t seen the army mobilized in a long time, so people are a little scared.

The cavalry who rushed past on the official road was fierce, and the Mu word on the front banner made the people relieved.

It is the man of the Mu House.

This place is not far from the bank of the Yangtze River, and you can see the embankment through the village.

A dozen riding horses came from the direction of the Yangtze River to meet the team. The father holding the child in the field told the child with pride. It was called a scout.The child's eyes are full of admiration. At this age, he still thinks that his father is omniscient. If he has any questions, he can get answers from his father.

The scout leader jumped off his horse, ran a few steps quickly, and knelt down on one knee in front of a general in armor, because away from it, the people did not know what he was talking about.Then they saw that the armored general reached for a finger and the team started again.

"Grandpa, I will be such a general in the future!"

A boy said snuggling in his father's arms.

"it is good"

Father laughed: "My children are aspiring!"

I do n’t know how many fathers have sincerely praised their children, and then after a few years they have to have headaches for how their children can live better in the future.This is the fact. Being ambitious does not mean that ... you will succeed.If a million fathers have been proud of their son, then perhaps at most one of the million fathers can always be proud of watching his son put on that armor.

The remaining 99,999 fathers, either the hand-held church son tilling the field, or the hand-held church son work, or ... wipe the old tears at the moment the son put on his livery, Pray for his son not to die on the battlefield.

The team quickly crossed the village and then rushed westward along the Yangtze River embankment.After walking for more than ten miles, the team stopped again. A large ship was parked on the riverside less than 200 meters away from the team. This was the only place within thirty miles of the ship that was suitable for large ships.

It used to be a prosperous place for merchant ships to supply. The Yangtze River disaster flooded hundreds of miles on both sides of the river more than a decade ago. This place was also destroyed. Who knows that the trestle appeared after the water retreated, and there was no damage.However, because the water village was built near the county seat of more than fifty miles, the caravan had no boat to choose to moor here.

Solitary, there is only such a boat.

There was no sign on the ship, and it was impossible to see which business firm it belonged to.

The general in armor waved his hand, and the team split.He jumped from the horse's back, raised his eyes to observe carefully, and then whispered a few words, then two hundred knights came down from the horse's back, and took out the weapon hidden under the cloak from behind.

It was a musket, something that many people in the Central Plains had heard of but had not seen.Mu Guangling's musket team seems to have something more special.At the time of its formation, Panglai Sect leader Su Yang once asserted that this cavalry team was an army that could truly threaten the practitioners.

Two hundred people, a team of fifty people outflanked the big ship, and then stopped a few tens of meters away, the fan-shaped array, the musket muzzle aimed at the ship.

Mu Guangling took off the iron helmet from the top of his head, his face gloomy and watery.

He strode over to the side of the ship, followed by eight warriors in armor and long arms.In this cavalry troop, only these eight people still use the weapon, not the firearm.

Big ship

On deck

Fang Jie was sitting there alone, and there was a small table in front of him. There was a steaming fish stew on the table. It was the river fish that he caught himself after dawn. The fire simmered slowly for more than an hour. Tangy.He was still in the mood to find someone on the bank to ask for two radishes, and then cut into thick slices and simmer under the fish.

In the northwest, the people of Fan Gucheng are used to stewing fish like this.It's just that they don't have a long time to eat fish all year round. The small lake on the east side of Fan Gucheng only has a few months without freezing.Fan Guren is used to stewing radish and fish together, which is called fish pickles.

To be honest, after stewing for a long time, the radish tastes better than fish.

Not only radish, but also stew very wide vermicelli noodles, sometimes with some pork belly.This kind of eating method must be regarded as alien in Jiangnan of the Great Sui Dynasty.

Fang Jie picked up a piece of radish and put it in his mouth, feeling the smell of fish.

He glanced sideways at Mu Guangling who was on board, then reached for the jug and filled the empty glass opposite.Behind him, Mu Xianjun, who had broken his arm, sat on the chair with a vicious look.When he saw his father, he cried like a child.

"Take the master back"

Mu Guangling's eyes looked at Mu Xianjun's bare right shoulder, his brow trembling involuntarily.The armored guards at the back quickly stepped forward and helped Mu Xianjun to get off the big ship.

"I changed my mind temporarily."

Fang Xie pointed to the chair opposite: "I was going to let my man take the little grandfather to take a step first, then think about it, it is better to return him to you first."

Mu Guangling sat down opposite the Fang Jie, looking like water, waving his hand to prevent the guard's intention to move forward.

"good smell"

Mu Guangling picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, chewing slowly: "What a person's attitude towards food is, he can show his attitude towards himself. Zhen Guogong can cook a fish slowly like this, right I naturally care more about it. So I do n’t understand why you are deliberately targeting me. ”

"The first thing you came to Dongjiang, ruined my layout in Beiliao. I didn't investigate this matter, because after all, you are the grandfather of Wan Yanyong, I can find a reason for you, you I do n’t want my father-in-law to become your enemy in the future ... this is enough reason. "

"The second thing, you killed my two men and sent me the head back to the house. I also helped you find a reason, because these two people really sent it to you to kill. If not The two of them find themselves, and you have no chance to kill them. This reason is enough. "

"The third thing is that you gave up my son's arm."

He looked at Fang Jie: "I haven't helped you find a reason for this, because any reason is meaningless. Even if my son is wrong, it is not wrong in the eyes of my father. The wrong is always the one who hurt him. He Without an arm, if I do n’t kill the man who scrapped his arm, it ’s my father ’s fault. ”

"Yes"

Fang Jie nodded: "Understandable."

"So, I have no reason not to kill you."

Mu Guangling put down his chopsticks and looked straight at Fang Jie's eyes.

"I spent a whole morning stewing this fish, and cooked it before I ate it."

Fang Jie picked a piece of fish fat and put it in his mouth, and then took a sip of wine, which was very beautiful.

...

...

"That said, it doesn't matter if you abandon my son's arm."

Mu Guangling looked at Fang Jie and said.

Fang Xie drank the last bite of wine and looked at the remaining half-dish stewed fish and said with pity: "I thought you would eat some, but I didn't expect to waste my good intentions."

This sentence is pun.

"The things you told me are not worth my son's arm."

Mu Guangling stood up and took a few steps backwards: "If East Xinjiang is really faced with disaster, I would rather give up entering the Central Plains and guard every inch of land that I should hold, I thank you for telling me this, and 100,000 Frontiers also thank you You warn in advance. Mufu and others know what is important. I can fight for the world for my son, but I ca n’t lose East Xinjiang for the world. But this has nothing to do with this battle between you and me Now. "

"I didn't even think about avoiding this battle by telling you this. To avoid it, I don't need to stop or return your son. Maybe it's because I gave you back your son. , You think I ’m showing you ... if you think so, you ’re wrong. "

Fang Jie also got up and stretched his body: "I gave him back to you because of his cultivation practice, even if only one arm remains in the future, he can kill countless enemies on the battlefield, because he can still fight for the east. Xinjiang is doing things. If he is returned to you, he will still come to me and I will kill him next time. "

"Why are you telling me about foreigners?"

Mu Guangling suddenly asked: "If I lead troops into the Central Plains and the foreigners invade massively, I will rush to lead troops back to the defense to inevitably suffer heavy losses. This is not a better thing for you? You are telling me these now, it seems that you are stupid. Those who look at the highest place should not make such a choice. "

"You are wrong again."

Fang Xiedao said: "The person who looks at the highest point knows what must be put at the front."

Fang Jie rolled the cuffs, revealing the white lining inside, especially clean and refreshing.

"Let your people go back, it will inevitably hurt innocent people. The musket team under your hands is meaningless to me. I made it earlier than you. I only learned that you have a special musket team last night. , Able to deal with great practitioners. And before I happened to have killed a natural poison and diluted his blood with some soaked ammunition, it should be correct to corrupt the practitioner ’s practice? "

Fang Jie was somewhat proud when he said this slightly.

"Just guessed this because your son brought that man to kill me, and I happen to be the one who is not afraid of this thing, so you still keep this man against the foreigners. Although there are no practitioners among the foreigners, But there are some mages who use the meteorite to change the vitality of heaven and earth. "

"Why do you know so much?"

Mu Guangling asked curiously.

"Who knows."

Fang Jie shrugged his shoulders: "Maybe it's because I worry a lot ... Come on, I have to rush back after finishing this fight. This is not only to tell you, but also to tell the forces of the Central Plains, but also to the court . No matter how busy you play, you have to rest, and one thing you guess is wrong. Just as you will immediately give up your plan to enter the Central Plains because foreigners may invade, there are many, many in Central Plains willing to order this For the time being, give up the people who are fighting. If you do n’t believe it, you will see how many people are willing to give you a hand when the foreign army sets foot on the land of East Xinjiang. "

Fang Xie said slowly: "There are some things that can change each other's position as the enemy. I always believe this."

Mu Guangling was silent for a while, then shook his head: "There is no need to fight. I can't kill you."

He looked back into the distance: "This hatred will stay with you until the day I kill all the foreigners."

He turned around and strode forward: "Fang Jie, I tell you! The reason why Mu Guangling was able to gain a foothold in Eastern Xinjiang, and the Emperor Da Sui did not want to change me, is precisely because I know what matters more than what matters! Mu House has shed too much blood to guard the Eastern Frontier. Today, if there is another foreign invasion, the blood of the Mu House will never flow behind others! As long as I do n’t die, I will come to you sooner or later! , It can never be erased! "

Fang Jie watched the figure go away and clenched his fists in both hands.
