In the snap of a finger, the waves on the coastline express the anger of the reef, the attachment to the sand, the sound of the waves is like thunder, the waves are like snow, and they retreat without clothes, leaving a piece of quiet, half of the blue sea, half of the blue sky.

Fan Xian heard her words clearly, and couldn't help but smile slightly: "If I were a woman, I would definitely be much happier than I am now." ”

He knew that there was too much unwillingness and too much reluctance in the little emperor's heart. As a native of Nanqing, Fan Xian didn't have much opportunity to appreciate the little emperor's imperial mind and power skills, but so many years of private exchanges and contacts made him very clear that although the Northern Qi Emperor was younger than himself, his mind was extremely mature, and his methods were extremely ruthless.

Maybe the dragon chair is indeed an incubator capable of turning people into freaks?

The female emperor beside her, since birth, has been raised as a man, the process of her growth, is a completely deformed process, to this day, she has not become a pervert, but has become a little indifferent, ambitious in his heart, especially dissatisfied with the fate of the emperor, it should be said that the queen mother of the Northern Qi Dynasty, is really a very remarkable character.

Thinking of the time when he thought that there was a huge problem between the emperors, and wanted to wedge into the Northern Qi dynasty, but in the end, he covered for the mother and son, removed the heaviness, and subdued the Uesugi Tiger, Fan Xian's heart felt a little uncomfortable, and his admiration for the mother and son became stronger and stronger.

"Woman?" the Emperor of Northern Qi put his hands behind his back, looking at the endless sea in front of him, and the corners of his lips flashed a hint of sarcasm, "In this world, women are all appendages of men, and they will always be in a dominant position, if you really become a woman, I am afraid that you will cry in the quilt every night." ”

After Fan Xian was silent for a long time, he suddenly spoke: "Are you very disgusted with your identity as a woman?"

"Not bad. The Emperor of Northern Qi said indifferently: "If my body is not a woman, how can I be threatened by you." ”

Fan Xian smiled and didn't say anything, secretly thinking that the heart of this female emperor is indeed a bit like a ruthless man, and he only thinks about the power of his family and country, but he lacks a lot of the soft feeling he guessed.

The two men fell silent at the same time, and just stood side by side, looking at the sea with their hands in their hands. Not far from him, the manager in a light yellow shirt held a delicate small paper umbrella in one hand, squatted slightly, and was picking up shells on the beach, and he didn't know if his attention was left on the two of them.

Fan Xian's eyebrows raised slightly, thinking of three years ago on the beach in Shanzhou, he once stood on the wooden board with Emperor Lao Tzu and watched the sea, when the white waves rose from under his feet. Today, I looked at the sea side by side with the emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty, not to mention the transfer of the times, the passage of time, just these two times to see the sea, it is enough to explain too many problems, in this second life struggling for a long time, I finally have the influence that others cannot have in the two big countries of Northern Qi and Nanqing.

The emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty had a cold face, his straight sword eyebrows looked particularly plain, and there was a feeling that no one was close to him in his clear eyes, and his eyelashes, which were not long, were calmly placed on the curtains.

"The mission has arrived in Dongyi City, and I will go back. She suddenly looked ahead and said, "I must admit that I am very disappointed that I have not gained any benefit from this venture south. ”

"What's there to be disappointed about, at least you didn't kill me, and there hasn't been a big mess in the world. ”

Fan Xian looked at her expression, and for some reason, there was a faint pity in his heart, just like in that crazy night, when he saw her crying wildly. He knew that this emperor with a daughter's body and a man's heart was not very happy in this life, and said softly: "Although you are the monarch of Northern Qi, it is impossible for you to change the fact that it is already doomed. ”

The Northern Qi Emperor's voice was slightly sharp, and he said in a mean and sour tone: "For example, I am a woman?"

Fan Xian smiled bitterly, wondering why he had turned here again, shook his head and said, "It is difficult for one person to change the whole world, it has nothing to do with men and women." ”

The Emperor of Northern Qi said coldly: "But the most vigorous losers and the most amazing and brilliant losers in the world in the past thirty years happen to be two women who are unwilling to be arranged by fate and stand up bravely, how do you explain it?"

How can Fan Xian explain it at all, because those two women are his mother and the other is his mother-in-law, and as children, they can be nostalgic, they can be sentimental, they can hold grudges, but they can't explain it.

He opened his mouth and said, "My mother's failure lies in her being too kind, and the failure of the eldest princess lies in her being too affectionate. ”

The Emperor of Northern Qi looked at him quietly, opened his mouth and said with a smile: "Actually, the reason is simpler than what you said, but you don't dare to say it." ”

Yes, the eldest princess doesn't talk about her, isn't the reason why the terrible Ye family mistress failed back then was also because of that man?

Fan Xian naturally didn't continue this topic in front of her, and said softly: "Today, Your Majesty is leaving, hoping to clean up the government and support the people's livelihood in the country, as for the side matters, it is better not to act rashly." ”

"Before you become the Emperor of Nanqing, never expect anything from you. The Northern Qi Emperor said: "This has nothing to do with trust, only with the power to speak...... That one, Sigu Jian took you and me all over Dongyi City, for what, you should know in your heart. ”

Fan Xian sighed and said: "He took me to talk about the past, talk about the future, look at Dongyi, and deepen the relationship, for this." ”

"Dongyi City is not my Great Qi, nor is it your Nanqing, this city is too special, if Sigu Jian hopes to be able to retain the characteristics of Dongyi City after death......" The little emperor turned his head and looked at him, "I can only hope that you can become the emperor of Nanqing." ”

Fan Xian laughed to himself: "Do you think this is possible?"

"That's where I look down on you, I'm in a dilemma, I don't know what I'm going to do. ”

The Emperor of Northern Qi turned his head and said sarcastically: "If you are really a saint like the Zhuang family, and you don't want the people of the world to fall into the flames of war, you can't do nothing like now." Now you are trying your best to tinker, but there is no fundamental reversal of the general trend, and in the end, you can only end up with a fate that is not human inside and out, and the end is miserable, needless to say, you yourself should be clear. ”

Fan Xian laughed instead, and said, "It seems that you finally believe that I have the potential to be a saint." ”

After being silent for a long time, the Northern Qi Emperor said slowly: "Because I can't think of any other reason why you would do these things than being forced to believe that you are a saint. ”

If Fan Xian only regarded himself as Nanqing's courtier, and was bent on dominating the world for Nanqing, now that Dongyi City was subdued, he had mastered the biggest secret of the Northern Qi royal family, there were too many things he could use and too many strong hands that he could cast.

But he didn't do anything, just as the little emperor described, he was tired of sewing and mending, and forcibly pressed every possible disaster into the darkness of the Supervision Yuan.

"I don't want to be a saint, and I don't have the ability to be a saint. Fan Xian lowered his head a little tiredly and said, "I have just become much braver than before, and I am willing to change some things I don't want to see in this life, according to my own ideas." ”

The Emperor of Northern Qi looked at him and smiled, and said, "Even if it costs with your life?"

"Nope. Fan Xian said very directly: "Staying alive is the most important thing, living your relatives is the second most important, and the survival of innocent people is the third most important." If that day comes, I don't think the only person in this world who has the power to kill me will be able to kill me. ”

"Why? because he is your father, or because he knows there is a temple behind you?" asked the little emperor slowly, with a twinkle in his eyes.

Fan Xian smiled and said, "Your Majesty doesn't have the slightest fear of the temple. Then he stopped talking and didn't explain anything more, Emperor Lao Tzu's jealousy of Uncle Wuzhu, why bother to let these Northern Qi people know.

"I have a question about what you said earlier. The sea breeze blew on the resolute face of the Emperor of Northern Qi, and there was no blowing and no bangs, nor did it make her feel a little timid, "Do you think that living is the most important thing, then I will ask you, if the person who makes the comparison is the Lord of Chen, do you still think that your survival is the most important?"

Fan Xian was silent, and the tablecloth of the Qing Temple, the paintings, the ancient myths, the girl in white hiding under the table and gnawing on the chicken legs, the snow on the Cangshan Mountain, the medicine at the time of the first marriage, the crying in the carriage, the usual silence, suddenly a strong feeling of apology surged in his heart, raised his head and said seriously: "Of course, her life is more important than mine." ”

"Fan Shangshu?"

"Yes. ”

"Your children?"

"I don't know. ”

"Little Aunt of the Fan Family?"

"Yes. ”

............ "Chen Pingping?"

After a long silence, Fan Xian nodded lightly. The Emperor of Northern Qi laughed, looked at him and said, "You are really a strange person, you are so protective of an old cripple, but you don't have the courage to sacrifice your life for your own woman. ”

"They're young. The god in Fan Xian's eyes was a little empty, "Feelings are such a thing, in addition to blood, there is also a question of time to cultivate. ”

After being silent for a long time, the Northern Qi Emperor said, "In this way, even if I have a child with you, it is impossible for me to completely control you. ”

Fan Xian thought for a moment and said: "Actually, the two of us are very similar people, cold-blooded and ruthless, but you are a woman and I am a man." ”

"Ruthless? Your words almost made me think that you are a saint who cares about the people of the world. ”

"Didn't Sigu Sword say that the saint is ruthless?"

"He didn't say that. ”

"I don't want to argue about this. ”

The little emperor suddenly glanced at him and said, "You are my first and last man, and although I don't really like that feeling, I don't mind having a child for you." ”

"I don't mind. Fan smiled a little mysteriously, "One of my three major aspirations in this life is to have many, many children. ”

He suddenly changed his tone and said: "But as for the last man, don't talk about this kind of nonsense, you are an emperor, the so-called eating marrow knows the taste, I bet that in the future, when you grow up and firmly control the Northern Qi court, there will definitely be a lot of medicine scum in the harem of the capital." ”

The Emperor of Northern Qi didn't understand this joke, but he understood the meaning, his face turned slightly white, and his anger disappeared as soon as he appeared, and said coldly: "Do you think I am a ghost like you?"

Fan Xian shrugged his shoulders and said, "Who knows? As for having a child, you didn't get pregnant in the ancient temple that summer, and maybe you won't be able to conceive this time. ”

"I don't like men. The little emperor stared at him.

At this moment, the manager who had been silent on the side of the sea walked over and stood beside the two people, his eyebrows and eyes were supple, and he didn't say a word.

The little emperor hugged Si Lili's waist, looked at Fan Xian and said, "I like women, this is my woman." ”

"This kind of thing doesn't scare me, I don't know that the two men I admired the most back then, one surnamed Zhang and the other surnamed Cai, both of them like men. ”

Fan Xian shrugged, looked at the two women with completely different temperaments and faces beside him, suddenly his heart moved slightly, his hand was raised, and he swept over the jaws of the two people very quickly, moistened his fingertips slightly, and said softly:

"You're all my women, that's it. ”

The little emperor frowned, as if he was extremely uncomfortable with the lightness of the seaside at this time, and said slightly angrily: "Hugh is presumptuous, I ......"

"What am I, do you think that if you say you don't like men in front of me, I will believe it?" Fan Xian looked at her quietly and said, "After twenty years of acting, you are also very hard, don't act again in front of me." ”

"I don't like men. The little emperor looked at him quietly, "I chose you only because you were born beautiful, more beautiful than a woman." ”

As soon as these words came out, Fan Xian was defeated, and he was very defeated.

The Emperor of Northern Qi smiled slightly and said, "Of course, in addition to being as beautiful as a flower, you also have some side benefits...... I once said that I chose you for something, and Duoduo must have thanked you for writing a biography for the boudoir, but ......" she frowned and said, "I have never understood how you discovered my secret. ”

Si Lili snuggled up to the side of the Emperor of Northern Qi, with those big, talking-like eyes, looking at Fan Xian, presumably his heart was also full of great curiosity about this matter.

"There is the fragrance of golden cinnamon in that ancient temple, and I later learned from the eldest princess that this golden cinnamon is only planted on the mountain behind the Shangjing Palace, and only His Majesty will use this incense in the whole world. Fan Xian whispered the story.

The Northern Qi Emperor's brows furrowed a little tighter, no matter what, she couldn't believe that it was this faint fragrance that exposed her secret.

"Of course, His Majesty's enthusiasm for Stone Ji is too much. The corners of Fan Xian's lips curled slightly and said: "Bao Dai's story is one of the best tools to distinguish between xìng. ”

"I still don't believe it. The Emperor of Northern Qi said indifferently: "What a secret this is, how can you think in that direction just by relying on these two points......?"

Before she finished speaking, Fan Xian had already understood what she meant, any investigation of secrets always needed an introduction. And what no one has ever dared to think about, naturally no one doubts, the little emperor never understood how Fan Xian dared to think in that direction.

He stood by the seashore and laughed with great pleasure, and the laughter carried far and wide along the waves.

"Do you know who Zhu Yingtai is?Shakespeare's lover?Mu Wanqing?Prince Cafe?Pregnant bishop?Boys and Girls?" Fan Xian looked at the two confused women beside him and said loudly: "That's Horikita Maki, my favorite!"

After a lot of laughter, Fan Xian stood on the beach and felt comfortable.

His talent in martial arts is not as good as Haitang and Thirteen, he can't catch up with Emperor Lao Tzu in terms of power, he is not as good at cultivating disciples as his father-in-law, and he is too far away from Chen Pingping in terms of tricks, and he is even much worse than Yan Bingyun. He is not as patient as his father, he is not as resolute as Kuhe, he is not as clear as the little emperor who knows what he wants, and he is not as good as looking around and the sword can see everything like ants...... There are too many excellent people in this world, Fan Xian is nothing at all, the only thing he can rely on is his diligence. However, in this second life, he is so prosperous and stands in his current position, precisely because his mother has come to this world in advance, and he is the same, and he also has the knowledge of a life that people in this world have never had.

This is the source of his courage, the foundation of his faith.

............ Wolf Tao stood on a big green tree by the sea, stepping on the treetops on tiptoe, gently floating with the sea breeze, and the two scimitars beside him made a tinkling sound. He squinted his eyes and looked at the seaside quietly, not hearing clearly what His Majesty and Fan Xian were saying, but he clearly heard Fan Xian's wild and even somewhat arrogant laughter at the end.

The three people on the seashore knew that there were not only wolf peach, but maybe there were also some powerful people, such as the people in the sword house, who were secretly watching this conversation. But they weren't worried, they faced the sea, and there was no one above it.

Fan Xian's hand held the hand of the Northern Qi Emperor, grabbed Si Lili's hand again, and said calmly: "No matter which of you is pregnant, don't forget to tell my father." ”

As soon as these words came out, the face of the Emperor of Northern Qi sank and he glanced at Si Lili. The manager was frightened on his face, but he was only afraid in his heart, but he was not very afraid. At this time, if you look at it from behind, Si Lili is leaning on the side of the Emperor of Northern Qi, while Fan Xian is standing on the other side, and the figures of the three people do not look small against the background of the blue sea, but have a little bit of warmth.

―――――――――――――――― night, a heavily guarded, but unmarked team left Dongyi City. Except for those upper-level figures, no one knew that there were His Majesty the Emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty and Concubine Li in this team.

The little emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty bravely came to Dongyi City with the determination to break the cauldron and sink the boat, trying to find the last chance to win for his own country, but in the end he returned depressed, except for the salty and indifferent words of Fan Xian, he found nothing.

Of course, for a woman, even if she professes to like women, to have such a night, such a beautiful beach, in this absurd and dangerous imperial life, perhaps this will be a story that she will not forget for the rest of her life.

Having this is actually enough, isn't it? When the Emperor of Northern Qi looked back at Dongyi City in the twilight from the carriage window, was he thinking about the future of Northern Qi or the man?

The Northern Qi envoys remained in Dongyi City, but they had all given up hope, because although the Dongyi City side still treated each other politely, everyone could see clearly that the other party had begun negotiations with the Nanqing people.

The details of the negotiation were released from some channel, and the conditions offered by Nanqing were not harsh, and even for the merchants and people of Dongyi City, it was completely unexpectedly relaxed. Except for the vassal states that were about to send protons into Kyoto, which fell into a gloomy fog, the reaction of ordinary people was quite normal.

Of course, there will be sadness and loss, just like the clouds, but there is no too fierce opposition.

Negotiations are still ongoing, and the stakes are so great that even if they last a whole year, they are absolutely necessary. Therefore, the cipher sent from the Kyoto Palace was not too urging, but Emperor Qing asked Fan Xian not to worry, and there were many words of consolation in the sentence.

Fan Xian was not in a hurry, the beautiful city in the south had been talked about for several years, not to mention the current situation, he was just shopping in Dongyi City, meditating on the seaside, and occasionally drinking tea with Wang Shisanlang to repair their emotions with each other. The whole person's appearance is not like Nanqing's powerful minister at all, but like an idler in Dongyi City who has nothing to do.

Time flies, and it has been almost a month since Fan Xian came to Dongyi City, and he finally stepped into the Sword House again to see the great master who was injured by the shadow and couldn't get up in bed.
