Volume 1: Lingdong Views of the Mountains and Snow Chapter 218 Five Years Later (II)

Less, in the study

Looking at Fang Xiaoer, who was sitting in front of him rubbing his knees with a painful face, Tang Jin didn't know what to say for a while, and his face was also crying and laughing, and he said in his heart: "Do you say that you are so excited?" It's a big person, how can I steal jade after the beams can't stand steadily, isn't it, chivalrous and righteous? ”

However, complaining and complaining, I haven't seen him for five years, and he is already seventeen years old, compared with five years ago, Fang Xiaoer is not only much taller, but also more and more handsome, although there is still a black cloth wrapped around his eyes, but not only does it not look ugly, but it adds a bit of mystery. His figure is still as thin as before, and at first glance he still feels a little sickly, with his handsome and somewhat mysterious appearance, but inexplicably there is a bit of a cold male god.

Of course...... The premise is to ignore the way he is now holding his trouser legs and rubbing his knees with a hideous face, no matter how cold his image is in front of such a style, it will collapse and disappear.

"I said, where have you been for the past five years? Looks like a lot of progress, huh? Seeing that the injury on his knee was slightly better, Tang Jin asked with interest. Before leaving, he was just a beginner in the middle level of ordinary masters, but now he is on par with himself, which is not a small progress, and it also makes Tang Jin extremely curious about what he has done.

"It's nothing, it's just that I went to be a spy under my grandfather for five years." Fang Xiaoer put down his trouser leg and said casually, and then seemed to think that this was too general, so he deliberately added, "Go to the Northern Regions to be a secret agent." ”

Tang Jin was suddenly startled when he heard this, and a look of understanding suddenly appeared on his face. Being a spy does train people, but it is impossible for a person to grow to the current point in five years, but if it is a secret agent in the Northern Regions...... That makes sense.

The Northern Regions, the northernmost region of the Tang Dynasty, is also the domain closest to the barbarians. Speaking of which, we have to mention the division within the barbarians, the barbarians are a fairly large group, divided into countless tribes similar to Khan Meng, these tribes are not particularly close to each other, and even fight each other all year round. Among them, there are some tribes with weak power and small populations, and they can't afford to fight for years, so they choose to negotiate peace with the Tang Dynasty or neighboring countries and live on trade with each other.

And some tribes, strong soldiers and horses, large population, at the same time occupy a better terrain, wanton development, strong strength. They were unwilling to succumb to the north and wanted to go south, and the Tang Dynasty, as the largest country in the south, naturally bore the brunt of its attack.

And the Northern Regions is more of a battlefield than a domain. The northern region resists the invasion of barbarians all the year round, and implements militarized management throughout the region, regardless of men, women and children, they must receive regular military training and regular assessments, and at the same time, they also need to go to the battlefield from time to time, which is quite a bit of Spartan.

Therefore, the environment of the Northern Regions is definitely a fertile ground for the growth of martial artists, where he stayed for five years, it is not surprising that Fang Xiaoer can make such great progress, if not, then it is surprising.

"So, now it's back? Where are you going next? Tang Jin didn't ask the other party what had happened in the past five years, even if he didn't ask, he could roughly guess what happened to that kind of ghost place in the Northern Regions? Is it nothing more than non-stop killing and running for your life?

"I'm not going anywhere, I'm going to stay with you and be a guard." Fang Xiaoer shook his head and smiled.

"When my bodyguard? Don't you feel condescending? With your talent, if you go out on a wandering, you will definitely be able to do something, and be my escort...... But the future is ruined. Tang Jin squinted and said.

"Maybe you're right, but I don't want to. I know what you mean, I think when I first saw you in the palace, you were a threat and a temptation to me. To be honest, I was still too naΓ―ve at that time, and I could give up everything for those illusory faces, which is really ridiculous when I think about it now. Fang Xiaoer tilted his head as if he was recalling something.

"So, wake up now? It's still too late to go. Tang Jin spread his hands and said.

"I said, don't go. Let's not talk about whether I can walk or not, and whether I will be killed by someone you sent to kill my front foot as soon as I go out with my front foot, even if I don't think about it. Because, you can give me what I want. Fang Xiaoer said with a smile.

"What do you want? What do you want? Tang Jin looked like he was asking knowingly.

Fang Xiaoer seemed to hear Tang Jin's meaning from his tone, shook his head and smiled: "You are still the same as before, you like to ask knowingly. That's it, just say it, it's not a big deal. When I was a kid I wanted face, I wanted all that vanity, and now I ...... I want really, I want real power, real status, not those vanities. To put it simply, it's still face, but there's more than just face. ”

"Then you should go to the imperial examination or the martial arts, and go to the imperial court to get an official and a half-job, instead of coming to me." Tang Jin shook his head and denied.

"The ...... from the imperial examination How can it be compared with the righteousness of King Qin? Fang Xiaoer said suddenly.

Hearing this, Tang Jin sat up straight and looked at him with a serious face, "Today, you are the second to say this to me." ”

"Oh? Anyone else before me? Qin Hai or Feng Gu? Fang Xiaoer didn't feel strange at all, just curious.

"Neither, but I'm curious...... Why do you all think I'm going to take that throne? ”

Fang Xiaoer, who said Tang Jin's words, was stunned, and didn't know what to say for a while, and finally reluctantly found a reason that was not a reason: "Isn't all this what you are doing now for the sake of 'seizing the heir'

Prepared? ”

"I'm preparing...... But I didn't say I was going to take the throne. Tang Jin said in a deep voice.

"Why not? That's the throne, the ninety-five supreme, the lord of the world, why not? Fang Xiaoer said in surprise.

"Why do you have to?" Tang Jin asked inexplicably: "Why does everyone look like they are going to take that position when they mention it?" Why do I have to take it? Does that location really matter? ”

"Of course it's important! That's the throne, the lord of the world, you can rule the world by sitting on it! Fang Xiaoer said as a matter of course.

"Why dominate the world? Eminence...... Is there anything good? Tang Jin still looked inexplicable, looked around and said: "I don't lack food, drink, money, and people to serve now, I dominate the world, what I eat and drink is not much different from now, and there are not a few more people to serve, but I have to work hard in everything, thinking about how to govern a country all the time, and worrying every minute about whether someone will rush in and kill me." As for the so-called 'say a fantasy and someone will do their best to help you realize it', I'm sorry, the master is dedicated to realizing the fantasy and doesn't need the help of others. So this is a loss-making deal for me, huh? Why should I rush to do it? ”

Fang Xiaoer opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he couldn't refute it. On the contrary, he himself was moved by Tang Jin's words, yes, why do you have to fight for the throne? Is the effort not proportional to the return?

"Therefore, those who fight for the throne are mentally retarded." Tang Jin did not hide his disdain at all and said: "I, I'm not like them, I am indeed preparing for the succession of ten thousand sons, but what I have done is the preparation of guaranteeing, simply put, I want to withdraw from this mentally retarded competition as soon as possible, and then go back to the palace to inherit my father's throne, just stay in this Eastern Regions, make money, and tinker with technology." If that idiot emperor plans to move me, I will go directly to Khanmeng, where is much better than Datang now. ”

After speaking, Tang Jin seemed to feel that what he said was a little troublesome, and finally concluded: "In general, I just want to be a salted fish that will not be eaten, even if I turn over, it is to avoid being eaten by others." ”

"So...... Do you want to stay with me? Tang Jin looked at the other party's eyes and narrowed slightly.

"Of course." Fang Xiaoer said without hesitation.

"Why? I can't give you what you want right now. Tang Jin spread his hands and said.

Fang Xiaoer was silent for a while, then raised his head and said, "Because I promised you before, it is not my character to go back on my word." ”

Tang Jin was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then suddenly laughed, looked at the serious Fang Xiaoer, and complained: "Tsundere! ”
