Chapter 38: The Secret in the Twilight
......
When Fan Xian finished saying this, the little emperor of Northern Qi did not think of the legendary blind master, let alone because of this passage, and began to reflect on the mistakes he had made in the past two years because of the strong pressure of Nanqing, but just looked at Fan Xian in shock, subconsciously raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, the anger in his eyes gradually deepened, and finally he couldn't suppress it, and roared in a deep voice: "You...... How dare you beat me!"
Of course Fan Xian dared to fight, since he dared to kidnap an emperor, let alone a few beatings. The little emperor himself knew this, he just couldn't accept it, Fan Xian actually knocked his forehead with a chestnut, this kind of fight is not a fight between you and me, in his opinion, it is a blow with an obvious taste of humiliation.
Fan Xian ignored his anger, frowned and said: "In the past few years, the cooperation between you and me has been good, and I, Fan Xian, have brought a lot of benefits to your Northern Qi, but you think about me all the time, isn't it too much?"
The little emperor was still tormented by pain and humiliation at this time, and looked at Fan Xian in disbelief, as if he didn't know where such a freak popped out of this world, and he didn't have any awe for a staff like the emperor.
Fan Xian saw him gritting his teeth like a little lion, but he was happy, shrugged his shoulders and said, "I just pointed out the big mistake you made. β
He suddenly closed his eyes, thought for a while, and then whispered, "The impression you left on me. is a very powerful city monarch, but his performance in the past two years seems to be too eager for quick success...... The world is so wonderful. It's not good that you're so irritable. Not good. β
The little emperor of Northern Qi knew that the situation was stronger than people. At this point, he fell into the hands of the other party. In addition, the great master in the Sword Mansion, who has not shown up, is secretly inclined. I was afraid that the courtiers from outside the Lu would not be able to enter the Sword House to save themselves, so they had to forcibly suppress the anger in their hearts. Han Sheng said, "I act. Why do I need to explain it to you?"
"You don't have to explain it to anyone, but you need to explain it to me. Fan Xian's eyes narrowed. The cold light suddenly appeared, "I have given you too many benefits. Even if it's an investment. You also have to report to me, the shareholder, and not try to kill the shareholder. β
The negotiation between two people went back to the original place. After being silent for a long time, the little emperor of Northern Qi said slowly: "I must admit it. In previous years. You've helped me a lot. However......"
"And yet?"
"However, you are the illegitimate son of Emperor Qing after all. The little emperor laughed at himself and stood up habitually. Put your hands behind your back. If this action is usual, it must be extremely chic. Full of imperial spirit. Today, however, he was stunned by the concussion. The ankle was sprained in the back, and where I could stand firmly, I collapsed with a bang.
Fan Xianyi stretched out his hand to scoop him back to the bed and looked at him quietly.
The little emperor frowned and said, "You are a Qingren." is still the illegitimate son of Emperor Qing. Regardless of whether I believe that you have the sincerity to fulfill the agreement of the year, you are the Queen Mother and the Minister of the Central Territory. It is impossible to involve this illusory hope. pinned on the Nanqing generation of ministers. β
He closed his eyes and said slowly, "You are not my Qi person. I don't know how the life of the Great Qi monarch and the people has been after the death of the bitter lotus national teacher in the past few years. Nanqing is waiting for the day, and may send troops to invade at any time. Although I have been planning for a long time, after all, the time is still short, and the national strength can hardly sustain the war for several years...... In such cases. Any past feelings and promises are in vain, and I must put my hope in my own people. Even Dongyi City can't be put on you. β
Fan Xian listened quietly, knowing that this truth is actually very simple. Don't say that the little emperor of Northern Qi, even if it is a begonia. Even Chen Pingping and her father could not think that they would really help Northern Qi to fight against Nanqing.
If you want to be a traitor, you must have some benefits, Fan Xian is now under Nanqing. Ten thousand people on the ground, if he betrayed the interests of Nanqing, did he want the Northern Qi Emperor to give him the dragon chair to sit on?
He laughed to himself. I thought that no one in the world would believe this, let alone the monarchs of Northern Qi. It's just that he really never thought of betraying the interests of Nanqingdi to meet the requirements of the Northern Qi state, he just tried his best to make the possible bloody battle to the end and the blood flow become more relaxed.
Of course, as Li Hongcheng criticized in the Dingzhou General's Mansion, this is a very naΓ―ve and absurd idea, and, from a certain point of view, it is basically ...... Impossibly.
From this point of view, it is only natural that the Northern Qi side wants to kill Fan Xian, the minister of Nanqing, so as to tie Dongyi City to his own chariot.
As for the legendary blind master, it's not that the little emperor of Northern Qi doesn't know this person, it's just that this person's whereabouts are too mysterious, even if he is really a great grandmaster standing behind Fan Xian, but the threat to Northern Qi is far less real than that of the powerful Emperor Qing and the powerful Qing army.
Seeing that Fan Xian was lost in thought, the Northern Qi Emperor did not bother him, but also closed his eyes and began to think about his situation and what might happen next.
One is the king of the north, the other is the minister of the south, so in the quiet room, each has its own thoughts, but I don't know that time flows like water, and unconsciously, the twilight outside the house is like blood, shining on the sword pit, shining on those old remnants of the sword, the branches are like dyed with the blood of a thousand autumns, and they can't be washed away by the sea and rain for a long time.
Fan Xian stood up, walked to the window and looked at the big pit silently, he knew what the countless swords in this pit represented, which represented the swordsmanship and strength of the sword in the world, the status of the sword in the hearts of all the people in the world, the death of countless swordsmen and the blood-boiling legend.
The solid survival of any kind of fame or status actually requires the baptism of sword and blood.
And in this world, how to give the latecomers a better future, whether it is also necessary to have a baptism of blood and fire from south to north, Fan Xian has no ability to discriminate and judge. Even though he had discussed with Yan Bingyun and argued with Li Hongcheng. He still doesn't have the ability to judge which will be more beneficial. Long pain, short pain, thank you. That's a matter for historians, not for creatures born in the world. Creatures just need to think about the moment. This is a biological instinct that is selfish.
Fan Xian is undoubtedly a selfish person. After his death, even if the flood was terrible. He only wants that when he is alive, the world is like the world he likes. There are flowers, trees, grasses, insects, birds, and some poems
Wine has gold. Painless, disaster-free, bloodless......
Now he sees himself deeply as a celebrity, rather than as an internationalist fighter at the beginning, but that's a pity. He grew up to be a pacifist, and he wanted his children to live while he wanted to live. The famous gesture of Spider-Man or Takachi Kato can be held all the time.
The supervision institute's cultivation since childhood and the leaping life between life and death for so many years have made Fan Xian grow into a pacifist. It seems so ridiculous, so incredible. But it also proves from another side that when a person lies on the hospital bed and waits for death, the obsession that arises can affect him for a lifetime. Or even two lifetimes.
Know the horror of death. Only then did I know that we should cherish life.
......
......
"I know why you made a mistake in connecting. Fan Xian didn't look back. Said slowly: "I Daqing has put too much pressure on you. Although His Majesty has not recruited troops on a large scale in recent years, he has been preparing for the big war in the future. His Majesty's path to the ground is dignified, and he has eliminated the existence of the Great Grandmaster. Naturally, he disdains to use the strength of his great master to disturb the world. β
"He has enough faith to conquer you with dignity. Fan Xian suddenly felt that the twilight outside the house was a little dazzling, closed his eyes and said, "Actually, I know Your Majesty very well. More than 20 years ago, the Northern Expedition failed to achieve complete success, which was an unacceptable setback for him. For him, a monster like the Great Grandmaster should not exist in the world at all, even if he later became a Great Grandmaster himself. β
"He has his own mind and strategy. With that, he was enough to conquer everything. He has a deep contempt and disdain for personal force...... However, he had to clean up the Great Grandmasters before he could release this disdain to the extreme. β
Fan Xian smiled self-deprecatingly: "I think before Kuhe died, he also saw clearly my emperor Lao Tzu's obsession, so he slowly set up chess pieces in Xiliang and my court, and wanted to play the last big game of chess with His Majesty...... It's just that he forgot. After all, he is dead, and it is impossible to know all the details of what happened after death, and the begonia he pinned his hopes on and you. They all made an unforgivable mistake. β
The little emperor had been listening to Fan Xian's analysis in silence, and when he heard this, he asked, "What is the mistake?"
"You underestimated my anger. Fan Xian turned around, looked at the little emperor and said word by word: "I dare to guarantee you, Kuhe's two moves before his death were all prepared to fall on me in the end, and you tried to kill me twice, whether you succeed or not, if Kuhe knows your behavior, he will definitely die again in the grave." β
"Falling on you?" The little emperor's pupils shrank, and he smacked in his heart the bitter lotus uncle's explanation before he died, his face gradually became solemn, but he still didn't understand, why pin the hope of the survival of the Northern Qi on Fan Xian, isn't he the illegitimate son of Emperor Qing? Could it be that Fan Xian is really a great sage?
No, the last saint in the world died as early as the fifth year of Qingli, and Fan Xian was just an ordinary person.
Fan Xian sneered: "Of course, Kuhe's calculation is very good, he pulls my heart to the ground, but he can't guess a little until he dies, whether I will go down the path he imagined." β
The things referred to in this sentence were too secret, and the little emperor of Northern Qi couldn't hear it clearly.
"I'll take control of it myself, and if I can't control it, I'll just walk away. Fan Xian walked out of the twilight outside the window, getting closer and closer to the little emperor's body, and said in a deep voice: "And Your Majesty...... It would be better to listen to me. β
"Why should I listen to you? For some reason, the little emperor suddenly felt a chill.
Fan Xian looked at him and said: "Because you have made too many mistakes, although the government of Northern Qi has been taken care of by you very well in the past few years, I originally thought that there was a great Wu Zhou in history, but after all, I found that women ...... Or too irritable, too soft-hearted, can't support anything. β
As soon as these words came out, the little emperor's face changed drastically, but he immediately returned to his usual appearance, squinted his eyes and said, "What Lord Xiao Fan said is becoming more and more subtle. β
"If you want to kill me before, if you don't think about the life or death of the manager, let the eunuch trick her out of the room, but use the wolf peach to directly launch an attack, maybe I will be dead by this time. Fan Xian stood in front of him, raised his chin with a calm face, and said, "The kindness of the woman, at that moment, you showed me so clearly, you let me down so much, how dare I continue to do business with you?"
The little emperor's eyes narrowed more and more, narrowing into two curved moons, as if he wanted to use the gap in his eyes to look at Fan Xian more flattened, so as to calm the infinite fear and struggle in his heart.
This is a secret that he has kept with the Empress Dowager of Northern Qi for twenty years, for this secret, the Northern Qi court does not know how many people died and how much price they paid, but at this moment, it was indifferently said by a Nanqing person.
"My purpose today is to enter the Sword House to see the four Gu Jian, but there is another purpose, that is, I want to have a private conversation with Your Majesty. Fan Xian looked at him and said, "I want to tell you, if you still want to be the emperor of Northern Qi, from now on, don't try to deal with me secretly, on the contrary, you have to cooperate with me, do you hear clearly?"
The little emperor pulled the corners of his lips and laughed loudly: "Okay, you Fan Xian, you actually want to threaten me? You can kill me with one sword, and see if the descendants of my war family will frown." β
"Your ambition is truly impressive. Fan Xian looked at him with a smile in his eyes, and said word by word: "Killing naturally can't be killed, I just want to know, if Shangshan Tiger, Wolf Tao and other important ministers of the Northern Qi Dynasty suddenly find that the emperor they are loyal to is actually a ...... Women, how will they react......? You are the only one in the Zhan family, is there still a need for you to exist?"
The little emperor stared at Fan Xian deadly, and at this time, he finally understood why the previous manager would say that Fan Xian would not be afraid of himself at all, but that he should be afraid of the other party, it turned out that it was because the other party had mastered his own life, the absolute life.
The little emperor said with a hoarse voice and a sneer: "A generation of poets, sure enough, there is a bit of stupidity when you speak. β
In this situation, Fan Xian also had to admire the other party's calmness and toughness. After he was silent for a long time, he stretched out his finger and flicked the little emperor's bun off, and the black hair fell on the emperor's shoulders like a waterfall, and the whole person suddenly felt weak, and then there was a hissing sound in the quiet room......
