Chapter 0007: The Law Enforcement Envoy from Chang'an and the Spy from the Prairie
Just this once, Fang Jie found it hard to forget the features of Aunt Xi.
I do not dare to harbor any thoughts of luck.
In fact, I came to see your wife
A person, with a stroke and a dot, stands tall and firm.
The dull-witted Su Tugo said with a silly smile
Xi Huamei recalled the last reason that prevented him.
You should be aware that what His Majesty detests the most is the corruption of officials... especially when it comes to those in the military who are greedy for wealth. If this is confirmed, you will have no way out. Do not think that your cultivation is remarkable; you must understand that among those dispatched from the Ministry of War and the Supreme Court this time, there are at least three experts of the sixth rank or above, as well as a talisman master who broke through a decade ago.
Xihua Mei's thoughts were not at all focused on this issue; moreover, in her view, although the young man was not unpleasant, what did life and death have to do with her?
He answered her second question: "If my heart had been a little harsher, I would not have let that person go ten years ago. If he hadn't left, this world would not have seen so much injustice. If I had been a bit more ruthless, I should not have cherished my own meager life and hesitated, allowing his disciples to take him far away. I spent ten years recovering from my injuries, and he also took ten years... But you know, he has many miraculous remedies, so his recovery should be faster than mine. If I don't go soon, I will have no more chances." If I had been a bit more ruthless, I should not have cherished my own meager life and hesitated, allowing his disciples to take him far away. I spent ten years recovering from my injuries, and he also took ten years... But you know, he has many miraculous remedies, so his recovery should be faster than mine. If I don't go soon, I will have no more chances.
Li Xiaozong lowered his head, his face somewhat pale
The goat asked in a hoarse voice
I would like to introduce... His name is Fang Jie, the owner of this building, and the landlord of Hong Xiu Zhao
You are mistaken
The name of the woman is Xi Huamei, but her eyebrows are not drawn on. She possesses a pair of naturally unforgettable eyebrows and a pair of naturally unforgettable eyes. Between her brows and eyes lies an effortless hint of allure, neither intense nor pretentious. Since her youth, she has unknowingly captivated countless men. Many men are willing to sacrifice their fortunes for her, and many are willing to regard life and death lightly for her.
Xi Huamei looked at his back and said: "Ten years ago, you left Xin'er with me and walked away, leaving no trace for a decade. During these ten years, Xin'er has asked me more than once where you are. In the past two years, her questions have gradually decreased, or perhaps she has come to believe the answers I provided her. But how could your heart be so cruel? For the sake of your obsessive thoughts, you have even disregarded her?"
The tone was flat, yet it caused a jolt in Fang Jie’s heart
Perhaps it was because the wind was a bit too cold, that Aunt Xi, sitting in the chair, could not help but shiver
Since you are well aware, why can't you wait until you have absolute certainty before proceeding
Furthermore, are you not afraid of causing a catastrophe
Upon hearing this statement, the young man in the blue shirt was clearly taken aback for a moment, then shook his head and replied in a calm tone: "The calamity will inevitably arrive sooner or later. Rather than waiting until it becomes unresistable, it is better for it to come sooner. At the very least, people will have a slight chance of survival."
The young man in the blue robe said softly: "Sir, will you burn a stick of incense for me and scatter a handful of paper money"
It is not that he is lecherous, but rather that these eyebrows and eyes are indeed too beautiful.
He suddenly answered her first question
In a good mood, he wanted to go to Yunji to eat a hot pot of dog meat
Fang Jie nodded thoughtfully and turned to walk into the cloud plan.
At the moment when Fang Jie ordered a dog meat stew pot at Yunji, a guest also arrived in Li Xiaozong's study in Fangucheng.
Li Xiaozong swallowed hard, the bitterness filling his mouth: "I understand, Your Excellency."
However, the Martial Arts Academy ultimately emphasizes martial skills
She opened her mouth but did not know what to say
That is fine
The man took the teacup and glanced at Li Xiaozong, sighing in frustration at his lack of ambition: "So I still have to travel hundreds of miles in this cold weather to remind you... The officials from the Ministry of War and the Supreme Court left Chang'an over a month ago, handling more than a dozen cases along the way. Four officials ranked above the rank of Yajiang have already been executed, and there is also one Langjiang of the fourth rank... This time, His Majesty is truly angry; you must take care of yourself."
Square solution inquiry
Fang Jie extended a middle finger and said, "Has the wine at your place been selling less recently?"
Why?
Su Tugo suddenly called out to Fang Jie, hesitating for a moment before saying: "In recent days, one should drink more alcohol"
I heard that the reason you have become greedy is because of someone named Fang Jie
... ...
The young man in the blue shirt stood by the window, not looking at the dazzling dance on the lavishly decorated stage inside the Red Sleeve Tower. Instead, he gazed outside, as if something on the horizon had captured his attention. A cold wind swept in through the open window, rustling the slightly faded blue shirt he wore.
The individual known as Wanyan Liyao from Beiliao is quite a clever fellow, and Fang Jie can discern that this person undoubtedly holds a significant position within the Beiliao tribe. Although the other Beiliao people deliberately feign indifference, the respect in their eyes for Wanyan Liyao is unmistakable.
Please go inside, it is cold outside
Although Fang Jie is the landlord of Hongxiu Building, he has only met Madam Xi once.
It is necessary to go
Xi Huaimei shouted out with an extremely sharp voice, and the rising and falling of her chest became increasingly intense
Xi Huaimei bit her lip and said
Fang Xietian shamelessly uttered a remark, then stood aside to watch Su Tugo skin a dog. He noticed that although Su Tugo was honest to the point of being considered cowardly, he managed to turn the act of killing and skinning dogs into an art form. The dogs killed for Yunji's dog meat were not domestic dogs, but rather mountain dogs from the Langru Mountains, fierce like wolves. In winter, when prey in the Langru Mountains became scarce, the mountain dogs often descended in packs to attack livestock.
This person is extremely thin, with hardly any flesh visible on his face. His eye sockets are deeply set, his cheekbones protrude, and he has a face shape reminiscent of a monkey, yet he sports a tuft of goatee. Thus, he appears somewhat comical, but Li Xiaozong does not dare to laugh upon seeing him. He respectfully pours a cup of tea and hands it over, standing with his head bowed to one side
Hunters generally send the mountain dogs they hunt to Yunji
... ...
Crossing the fifth rank signifies breaking the mirror, and experts above the sixth rank are bound to be valued in the military. Although he broke through a year ago, he could not withstand the combined strike of three breaking experts. Moreover, among those who came down this time, there is also a talisman master who is the most troublesome.
She asked
How did you speak to her
No.
Upon contemplating the exceptionally bright future ahead, Fang Jie felt a significant sense of relief in her heart
Brother Fang
The young man in the blue robe still did not answer Xi Hua Mei's question
I said you are dead
He is about to die
As long as one can remain in the Great Sui's Martial Arts Academy, those who have been pursuing me for so many years, even if they are emboldened, would they still dare to go to Chang'an and cause trouble? Even if they dared to enter the city of Chang'an, would they still have the audacity to create disturbances in the Martial Arts Academy?
Silence
I, a humble servant
"Brother Dog Killer, do you have nightmares from killing dogs every day?"
At such a young age, one truly stands out.
Both individuals fell into silence
Su Tugo put down the knife in his hand, fell silent for a moment, and then replied earnestly: "Perhaps I have killed too many; even the most vicious mountain dogs would not dare to enter my dreams, transformed into ghostly dogs. If they truly dare to enter my dreams, I shall kill them once more."
I do not know what a desolate and cold place that truly is
With blood all over his hands from skinning, Su Tugo wiped the blood on his apron as he saw Fang Jie approaching. He stood up with a cheerful smile and said, "Brother Fang, here to patronize my business again."
The young man in the blue shirt took a sip of tea while discussing a matter that had nothing to do with him. It was merely that the little fellow piqued his curiosity, yet the contents within that little fellow's body repulsed him. Such cruel methods could only be perceived by him, and only that person could employ them.
The young man in the blue shirt once again cast his gaze towards the gray, overcast sky, his expression calm yet concealing a fiery spirit of determination: "This world is filled with submission and humility; someone must attempt to do something. Rules have been established, and gradually, people have become accustomed to these rules, thus naturally bowing and scraping... Over time, they have gradually forgotten that they are individuals"
Of course, if one performs sufficiently well in other areas, it is possible to remain in the Martial Arts Academy as a minor official. In terms of mathematics and music, Fang Jie still possesses a certain level of confidence.
If this matter is resolved, then my military achievements will be sufficient. As long as Li Xiaozong issues a letter of recommendation to the Ministry of War for me, I will be able to participate in the examination for the Martial Arts Academy. If I can successfully pass the examination and enter the Martial Arts Academy, I will at least graduate as a school captain. Although I have been practicing martial arts continuously for many years, I have not been able to cultivate my skills, and thus I will not be given significant responsibilities in the military.
When Fang Jie arrived at Yunji, Su Tugo was in the process of slaughtering dogs
Although you are a collateral branch of the Li family or a child of a concubine, the Grand General still holds you in considerable esteem
Fang Jie suddenly asked very seriously
Let it be death
The nemesis in her destiny
As Fang Jie stepped out of the dungeon courtyard, he suddenly thought of something.
That makes sense
Very well ... ... It is rare that you can still remember her
... ...
My heart is not ruthless
The young man in the blue shirt turned around and smiled: "Let her think that I am already dead, so she will no longer have any worries or thoughts about me. This may not be a bad thing for her. In another ten years, perhaps she will completely forget me. Without me in her heart, her days can be a little more joyful and carefree. It seems that none of the memories I gave her are worth remembering or should be remembered."
Madam Xi is not old at all. Although there are some fine crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, her features remain exquisite, especially her eyebrows and eyes, which are stunningly beautiful. Her eyebrows resemble the leaves of a drooping willow, and her eyes are like a clear pool of water. Undoubtedly, if she were to seek a husband now, men wishing to marry her could line up outside the city of Fangu.
The gentleman will not agree to your going
Perhaps to break the annoying silence, the man in the blue shirt curiously asked, "Do you know the young man who was sitting below watching the dance, dressed in all black, and was taken away by a few border soldiers..."
Would he really watch you go to your death without intervening
The young man in the blue shirt turned around and said to Xi Hua Mei gently: "You do not understand the situation, sir. If I do not go... eventually he will have to go as well. By the time he is compelled to go, the calamity will truly be upon us. You know the position he is in; there will always be many inconveniences. Therefore, the sir will not oppose my going."
Thinking of the words spoken by Wang Yanli about the cold of the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, he couldn't help but shiver. He tightened the leather robe around him, feeling frustrated as he thought that if he could practice martial arts, he would be able to disregard the severe cold like Mu Xiaoyao and the big dog. The winter in Fangu City had already become extraordinarily cold, yet Mu Xiaoyao still wore only a thin long dress. As for the big dog, although he wore a sheepskin robe, he wasn't wearing any inner clothing at all.

Emerging from the dungeon, Fang Jie took a deep breath of the cool air outside. The damp and moldy smell of the dungeon was unpleasant, and the darkness and cold within made it even more uncomfortable. After spending a long time inside, it felt as if something was blocked in his heart.
Only she knows that, in fact, no matter how fierce the wind blows, it will not make her feel cold. She feels cold because of the words spoken by the young man in the blue shirt. He said he was going to the Great Snow Mountain, and it was this statement that made her feel a chill deep within her bones. It is an irresistible cold, penetrating to the marrow, chilling her heart.
is not
... ...
But she became infatuated with him
Su Tuogou smiled awkwardly and said, "It's cold."
He is the most unique one in Fangu City, so all eight hundred border troops have gathered to prepare for battle, while he can leisurely stroll down the street without a companion. Left with no choice, he reluctantly decides to indulge in a pot of steaming, aromatic dog meat stew by himself
Must go
The General has heard that spies from the Mongol Empire have infiltrated Fangu City, attempting to bribe and win over the border troops of Fangu. This matter was uncovered by the cavalry commander Li Xiaozong. The General will report the situation truthfully to the Ministry of War and the Judicial Envoy of the Supreme Court.
Is the child doing well
This person was dressed in a leather robe, and a fur-lined hat concealed his head and face. After entering Li Xiaozong's study, he removed the thick hat and placed it by the fireplace. Before long, the hat began to emit puffs of white smoke as it was heated.
He is very good at making money
He did not answer Xihua Mei's question, but instead asked a question.
As Fang Jie stepped into the door of Yunji, he did not see the pity in Su Tugou's eyes. Su Tugou squatted down and continued to skin, muttering to himself as he worked: "It's just that you have often dined at my home and spent quite a bit of silver; it would be a pity to lose a major patron in the future... I wonder who has such a cruel method; drinking more wine would help the blood circulate more smoothly, otherwise..." I wonder who has such a cruel method; drinking more wine would help the blood circulate more smoothly, otherwise...
