Chapter 50: We Are All Seas of Different Colors
Si Gu Jian did not give an order, and let the disciples of the Sword House kill Fan Xian, even the leader of the assassins of the Supervision Yuan who had the audacity to stab him. This fact made the disciples in the Sword House feel a little surprised and shocked, and Yun Zhilan, who walked out of the Sword House in silence, felt even heavier.
He looked around, the third junior brother and the fourth junior brother were all left in the house, as if Master Shizun had something to explain to them. Yun Zhilan couldn't help but look at the western Luo Rì, and sighed softly, these two junior disciples respected themselves the most, and they also participated in the action of putting Thirteen Lang under house arrest and ambushing Fan Xian, and the master kept them at this time, did he want to ask about this matter?
With his understanding of the Sigu Sword, if the master really wanted to deal with what he had done, he was afraid that he would not need to investigate or ask anything at all, and he would directly commit suicide, and he was afraid that it would be difficult for him to have the courage to resist.
The faint twilight shone on the face of the head disciple of the Sword Mansion, a little gloomy, a little helpless, and now the city lord's mansion was full of mourning, which had fully demonstrated the attitude of looking around the sword. On the top of this Dongyi City, after a while, I am afraid that it will be replaced with the dragon flag of the Li Dynasty.
He knew that this might be a historical inevitability, otherwise it would be impossible for the master to reach an agreement with Fan Xian and bow his head to the Qingguo Emperor surnamed Li, but his heart still couldn't help but throb.
There is no way to prevent this from happening, a big force in Dongyi City, the City Lord's Mansion, has now all turned into dead corpses in a pool of blood, and Sigu Sword used the simplest and rude method to unify the thoughts of the entire upper class of Dongyi City, and shocked the minds of all the disciples in the Lu. And the countless merchants and fellows in the city must have been willing to accept this fact, after all, fighting war has never been a favorite pastime of merchants.
Yun Zhilan squinted slightly, looking at the mountain residence above, the emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty, His Majesty, was already under the protection of Wolf Tao and He Daoren at this time, and returned to the mountain residence in silence, he didn't know what these Northern Qi people were thinking at this time, and the agreement he had secretly reached with the other party should be interrupted or continued.
Next, the mountain residence closed the door and refused to accept guests, which made Yun Zhilan's complicated mood even more complicated, the Northern Qi Emperor Xià ventured thousands of miles to come, it must be the attitude of Cuncheng to pay a great price and complete his work, why was it that after being kidnapped by Fan Xian into the Sword Mansion, this Emperor Majesty seemed to admit defeat and no longer continued to try to tear up the relationship between Dongyi City and Nanqing?
Yun Zhilan stood outside the mountain dwelling, whispered a few words to Wolf Tao, and walked towards the mountain a little gloomily, thinking in his heart all the way, what kind of magical ability does Fan Xian have that can suppress the Northern Qi side without moving?
He still didn't believe that Fan Xian had this ability, and secretly thought that it should be Master Shizun who clearly stated his attitude to the Emperor of Northern Qi, which made the Northern Qi people become a little desperate. Looking back at the sword house in the twilight, Yun Zhilan's expression was extremely solemn, and after a slight pause, he walked towards Dongyi City, he would never deviate from the will of the sword house and the interests of Dongyi City, but the people of Dongyi City tonight were panicked, and without the dredge pressure of the officials of the City Lord's Mansion, he, the head of the Sword House, was forced to reluctantly start to take up government affairs.
............ Contrary to Yun Zhilan's imagination, the people of Northern Qi did not despair, more precisely, the emperor of Northern Qi surnamed Zhan did not despair, she sat indifferently by the window, looking at the flowers burning by the window, thinking about what had happened in the past two days, she couldn't help but feel a little shaken. When she was a child, she was held in the arms of the Queen Mother and sat on the dragon chair, and since that day, she has not known what fear is and what despair is.
What position is the person, should have the corresponding judgment, the little emperor knows that in the fight for Dongyi City, she has lost to Fan Xian, and the loss is very complete, there is no possibility of reversing the situation. But on the other hand, she also knew that the reason why Sigu Jian chose Nanqing was not because of what this great master had a good impression of Nanqing, but simply because the existence of Fan Xian seemed to be able to bring more security to the future survival of Dongyi City.
The most critical question is still hidden in Sigu Jian's heart, the intelligent little emperor of Northern Qi pondered for a long time, and faintly grasped the key, although she still didn't know the details, but guessed that Sigu Jian would definitely cause a big trouble for Fan Xian in the future.
Fan Xian's trouble is the trouble of Emperor Qing and the gospel of Northern Qi. Although she knew in her heart that if Fan Xian was really ruthless enough, she could only become a puppet doll in the hands of the other party, the problem was that Fan Xian was never a ruthless person, especially for her own women.
The events of that night made the little emperor feel a little humiliated, a little exciting, a little excited, a little novel, and in hindsight, it seemed that there were great benefits.
Fan Xian used this to control the little emperor, and the little emperor didn't use the relationship between the two to put Fan Xian in an extremely difficult situation. The little emperor slowly turned his head, looked indifferently at the manager sitting on the edge of the bed, and said, "Concubine Ai, comb my hair for me." ”
Plus Fan Ruoruo, there are three and a half women on the side of Northern Qi, and the little emperor calmly enjoyed the comb of Si Lili's jade hand, while thinking silently, three and a half women, what should Fan Xian do to the father who has a potential rift?
............ Fan Xian was in the depths of the sword house at this time, standing outside the door, calmly looking at the sword on the couch. After the shadow woke up, he found a place to recuperate his wounds, as a top assassin, they always had a last nest to lick their wounds, Fan Xian was not worried about this.
In the twilight, he once again met the sword-like gaze of the people of the Sword Mansion and walked into the depths of the Sword Mansion, in order to deal with the point that the little emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty thought of before-the big trouble that the Sigu Sword might bring to him in the future.
Wang Shisanlang coughed twice, glanced at him, walked past him with a basin of hot water, and didn't say anything. Fan Xian turned his head, looked at the blood stains on his back, and couldn't help laughing, the previous scene of betraying the master made him confirm Si Gu Jian's favor for this young apprentice.
Including the hot blood basin in the previous door, the towel to wipe the body, even if it is a great master, sometimes it is just like a poor old man who is served by a filial son.
The more he favored Wang Shisanlang, the more stable Fan Xian's heart became. He coughed twice, cleared the thoughts in his head, crossed the threshold, sat down on the chair next to the bed, looked at the sword with his eyes closed, and said, "The shadow will not take over the sword." ”
At this time, the group of rooms in the depths of the sword house was quiet, except for Wang Shisanlang in the courtyard, no one could stay here, even those sword boys who served the sword in close service had already been driven to the front house.
This abrupt sentence sounded in the quiet room, curling and waving, without stopping for a long time, it came without reason, and it was inexplicable.
The shadow is a person who wants to kill the Sigu Sword, and he is an official of the Nanqing Supervision Yuan, but Fan Xian said to the Sigu Sword very seriously, the shadow will not take over the sword? Could it be that the Sigu Sword will let the shadow inherit his most precious inheritance in this world?
And what was shocking was that Si Gu Jian did not laugh at Fan Xian's inference, and slowly opened his eyes, with a palpitating chill in his eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "Why can't he?"
............ Fan Xian's heart tightened slightly, he didn't expect that under a word, the great grandmaster would directly reveal his heart, he couldn't help but laugh bitterly, and said softly: "Because he is my person." ”
"You are half of the Dongyi people, but he is the whole Dongyi people. Sigu Jianfu slowly closed his eyes again, and said: "He is my own brother, he is the real eldest disciple of my Jianlu, after I die, Jianlu will not be taken over by him, will it be handed over to you?"
"Me?" Fan Xian shrugged and said, "I have my own master, and I don't have a penchant for starting a sect. ”
Si Gu Jian closed his eyes and said, "How did you guess my thoughts?"
"Yun Zhilan was originally a good choice, but it's a pity that he went against your mind this time, and he is used to affairs and work, and it is difficult to advance an inch above the sword, you won't watch the sword fall into decay after his death. ”
"Thirteen Lang is a good choice, but it's a pity that you love him too much, and your expectations for him are too high, and you definitely don't want him to be bound by these grass houses. ”
"There are only shadows. Fan Xian was silent for a moment and said: "If you don't kill him, it's definitely not that you can't bear to kill him, the saint is ruthless, this is something you yourself admitted before." You left a shadow of a life, naturally you want to use this life, the position of the master of the sword house, if you leave it to him, you and I are quite clear. ”
"The things on the Hanging Temple, it turned out that Chen Pingping really did it. Si Gu Jian suddenly burst out laughing, laughing extremely happily, "It seems that even I misunderstood this old black dog, it turns out that he has no loyalty to your Emperor Xià." ”
Fan Xian was not annoyed, and said with a gentle smile: "No one can question the dean's loyalty to Qingguo, if you want to let the shadow come to the surface and thus provoke a war between His Majesty and the dean, I advise you to give up quickly." ”
Si Gu Jian was silent, and he didn't speak for a long time, and the entire sword house was shrouded in a depressing atmosphere. From last night to now, Si Gu Jian finally understood that Fan Xian, the son of the old man, really had a calmness and even indifference that was extremely difficult for ordinary people to find, and he actually guessed the true intention he had been hiding from his own slight movements.
"The shadow is my younger brother's business, how long can you hide it? a year, two years?" Si Gu Jian suddenly said indifferently: "What happened in Dongyi City today will always be transmitted back to Qingguo Kyoto, do you think you, the emperor Lao Tzu, really won't guess anything?"
"I don't care if I guess anything, it's a while if I can delay it, but I don't want you to make this matter clear and real. Fan Xian looked at Si Gu Jian's thin cheeks without flinching, and said: "In Dongyi City, there are only six people who can guess the identity of the shadow, and the three disciples and four disciples in Luzhong have already seen you before, so they naturally told them what happened the night before, presumably you also made them shut up, with your status in their hearts, they are only afraid that they will not say anything in this life." As for Thirteen Lang, I believe that his heart is xìng with virtue xìng. The only thing left is me, you, little emperor, if you don't say it, I don't say it, what are you afraid of?"
Si Gu Jian said indifferently: "The problem is that you still have no way to convince me, why don't I tell it? Once the world knows about this matter, your emperor Lao Tzu will definitely kill Chen Pingping, if Chen Pingping dies, what will you do?"
Fan Xian was silent for a long time, and said: "You pretend to agree to the agreement with me, but in fact, you are looking at the aftermath, if the dean dies, I Daqing will fall into civil strife, how can I have time to look east......"
"I just don't believe in your emperor, Lao Tzu. Si Gu Jian suddenly opened his eyes, looked at him and said: "I still believe in you more, the problem is that you are not the emperor for a day, it is useless for me to believe in your sincerity, Qingguo is not your turn to be in charge." ”
Fan Xian's expression was extremely stern, and he said: "I really don't have the ability to call the shots, so that Your Majesty has rested on his determination to start a big war, but if you provoke me, at least I can make the decision and let Qingguo destroy your Dongyi City." ”
He stood up and said, "Don't try to provoke civil strife in Gyeongkook, don't try to put my most beloved elder in danger, otherwise, there will be no agreement in my heart." ”
Si Gu Jian didn't say a word for a long time, and suddenly said, "If there really is such a day, will you still have the mind to put it on Dongyi City?"
"It's all something that didn't happen, but this threat is a jǐng newspaper that can be sounded in advance. ”
Sigu Jian looked at him and said, "You also used this rough way to force the female emperor of Northern Qi to shut up?"
Fan Xian was not worried that the little emperor's xìng would not be leaked out by the Sigu Sword, because the subversion of the Northern Qi was definitely not a scene that this great grandmaster wanted to see, and directly responded: "I now find that these problems can only be solved in a rough way, this ...... It's from you. ”
"Don't try to take advantage of me or control me. Fan Xian opened his mouth to say such a sentence, his mind was slightly confused, as if he had returned to the old house of the Fan family in Kyoto many years ago, and he was talking to his father.
Since he came to this world, every move, all his actions and thoughts, seemingly zìyóu, have actually been shrouded in countless shadows, father, Emperor Lao Tzu, Chen Pingping, all the old guys are arranging his future according to what they think is right.
Later, there were some more monsters in these old guys, such as the bitter lotus, such as the Sigu Sword on the bed at this time, and they all wanted to use the events of the year to secretly control themselves.
If Fan Xian is not Fan Xian, I am afraid that he will have a much easier life in this life, as long as he steps on the inherent pace, he can survive very happily. However, he was unwilling to do this, even if the name Ye Qingmei had been shrouded in his head, he was still unwilling.
After two days ——————————————————, the two major missions of Nanqing and Northern Qi finally drove over from the official road very slowly and solemnly. Since the two major envoys left the Song Kingdom, they began to carry out a vigorous low-speed race on the road, and it seemed that no one was willing to be the first to set foot on the territory of Dongyi City and launch the first wave of political offensives.
The Northern Qi mission was making Wei Hua faintly feel a little strange, but there was no way to change this, and he guessed helplessly in his heart, only afraid that Fan Xian had already arrived in Dongyi City. However, the officials of the Ministry of Rites in the Nanqing delegation would never have imagined that the negotiators who arrived in Dongyi City in advance from the Northern Qi side were actually their Emperor Xià!
The welcome ceremony in Dongyi City was extremely lively, but it was inevitable that there would be a lot of problems in the middle, because the officials of the City Lord's Mansion were all dead, and the officials requisitioned by Yun Zhilan from various territories would always be a little uncomfortable if they acted in a hurry.
These details also fell into the eyes of the officials of the two major missions, and then they knew about the bloody incident that had occurred in the city lord's mansion, and they couldn't help but look at each other, not knowing what was going on.
In fact, the real negotiations had ended long before the mission entered the city, and the real bigwigs on both sides had already secretly exchanged hands countless times, and had already set a real tone for the ownership of Dongyi City.
On this day, in the courtyard where the Nanqing mission lived, the officials of Nanqing were dumbfounded, looking at Xiao Fan, who was sitting in the first place, and were speechless for a long time in shock. Of course, they knew that Lord Xiao Fan had already entered Dongyi City in advance, but they could not have imagined that Lord Xiao Fan actually repelled the aggressive attack of the Northern Qi people in only three days, persuaded the arrogant Sword Saint Sect Master, suppressed the opposition forces in Dongyi City, and settled this matter for Qingguo!
After listening to Lord Xiao Fan's words, all the Nanqing officials became excited, if it weren't for the fact that there were still Dongyi City's ceremonial officials outside, I was afraid that the cheers would have broken through the roof at this time and rushed into the blue sky above Dongyi City's head.
Qingguo was born from blood and fire, and developed from a small border country to the first power today, relying on the non-stop border expedition and non-stop war, especially twenty or thirty years ago, the emperor Xià personally led a large army to the south and the north, only to lay down the territory and strength of today's Qingguo. The four words of opening the border and expanding the land have long become a part of the blood of the people of Qingguo, whether they are corrupt officials or clean officials, whether they are peddlers and pawns, or corrupt scholars, they are all eager for Nanqing to dominate the world.
It's just that twenty years ago, the three major forces in the world were in full swing, Qingguo had been quiet for too long, and Tuobian's enthusiasm had been suppressed for too long, so after the incident of Dadongshan, knowing that the two great masters of the enemy country would no longer be an obstacle, these enthusiasm all broke out.
Dongyi City is included in the territory of Daqing!
This is not the conquest of the Southern Zhao, nor the westward invasion of the grassland, nor the small war back and forth with the Northern Qi to cut off some land, but it is really the conquest of a big force!
In addition to the three personal expeditions to the Northern Expedition that year, the Great Wei was shattered, and the merits of Qingguo were honored, and the conquest of Dongyi City was undoubtedly the most glorious stroke in the history of Qingguo's border expansion!
All the officials looked at Fan Xian like a fairy, their eyes were full of blazing expressions, not a single soldier was wasted, just by negotiating, they could seek such great benefits for Qingguo, they couldn't find any words to describe their feelings, they even thought in their hearts, His Majesty the Emperor was really prescient, and he was ready to crown Lord Xiao Fan as the prince two years ago.
Lord Xiao Fan has made such an immortal achievement, not to mention tearing the ground, at least the king can't escape.
The waiter of the Ministry of Rites, who was about a little old, was a little difficult to digest this shocking news for a while, his face was flushed with excitement, his throat gurgled out, and he blocked the phlegm in his mouth, and he actually watched Fan Xian fall down like this!
............ Fan Xian walked out of the lively and unusual embassy station, but there was no joy on his face, according to the Taoist theory, he was able to persuade Sigu Jian to subdue the little emperor of Northern Qi, and use this relatively peaceful way to include Dongyi City in the territorial scope of Qingguo, which must be the biggest deed he can make in his life. But he still couldn't be happy, because he knew what kind of danger was hidden behind Si Gu Jian's promise.
He had already explained to the officials in the mission, and the person in charge of the details of the negotiation on the Dongyi City side was Yun Zhilan, the head disciple of the Sword Mansion. Yun Zhilan's position in this matter has long been known to everyone, and Si Gu Jian chose him to negotiate, no doubt to use a tough attitude to seek the greatest interests for Dongyi City.
Fan Xian doesn't care about these, whether it is the actual rule or the nominal submission, at least it is not a matter that needs to be considered within this year, after the death of Sigu Jian, Dongyi City does not have much opposition at all, as for whether it will remain unchanged for fifty years or five years, it is the decision of Emperor Laozi.
As soon as he thought of this, his mood darkened again. The secret report to Chen Yuan had already been sent, and the shadow that had been silent was also sent by him to Jiangnan Neiku for treatment, but whether he could digest this matter smoothly, Fan Xian was really not sure at all.
Walking out of the gate of the mission and getting into the carriage, Fan Xian leaned against the window with a headache, looking at the prosperity in Dongyi City, which did not appear contrived because of the arrival of the envoys of the two major powers, nor did it seem bleak because of the collective death of the officials of the city lord's mansion.
When the carriage reached the end of the long street, there were three directions, and the members of the Qinian group who were driving asked for instructions: "Lord Tisi, where are you going now?"
"Go to the beach. Fan Xian replied softly.
It took a long time for the carriage to pass through Dongyi City, avoid the busy transport procession, and sail away from the busiest port to the most quiet silver sè beach outside Dongyi City. The official who was driving the car jumped out of the car, led the carriage to a piece of sand, and suddenly found that there were already people on the beach, and he was extremely keenly aware of the identity of the other party, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he said in a low voice: "Northern Qi people." ”
Fan Xian had already stepped out of the car at this time, he looked at the members of the Qi Nian group beside him, smiled, and said, "I am here to find these Northern Qi people today. This member of the Qi Nian group is the one Fan Xian met in Qingzhou City last autumn. Fan Xian did not have the slightest doubt about the loyalty of these cronies, under the training of Wang Qinian and Deng Ziyue, these cronies only knew Fan Xian, and even the one in the palace might not care much.
Today, he was going to meet with someone, so Fan Xian didn't bring the six swordsmen of the Supervision Yuan, only this cronie. The member of the group was stunned, and very cleverly did not ask anything more, led the carriage to a secluded place, and waited under the green tree, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
Fan Xian stepped on the soft sand and walked towards the beach step by step. There are a few people on the beach, looking at the sea, the waves of the East China Sea are so calm, so gentle, gently lapping the silver sè beach, painted into different shades of wet and wet faces, with a circle of reefs not far from the sea and layers of green trees behind the beach, it looks very beautiful.
Fan Xian arched his hands and saluted seriously: "I've seen Lord Wolf Peach." ”
Wolf Tao looked at him calmly, his hands naturally hanging by his side, and the two scimitars hung aside with chains as ropes, swinging gently in the sea breeze. He looked at the young man in front of him, his mood was very complicated, but his expression was unusually calm, and after a while, he moved out of the way to the seaside and walked towards the distance of the beach.
Fan Xian walked up to the young man dressed in a plain robe, full of elegance, raised his hands, and looked at the sea with him.
The manager was dressed in a beautiful pale yellow dress, like a fairy, smiling beside the two.
That young man was naturally the little emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and the matter of Dongyi was completely defeated in the north, it was impossible for him to leave the Shangjing Imperial Court, and he had left the dragon chair for too long, so he had to leave today.
In the mission, the Qingguo officials were excited and worried, but Fan Xian did not answer at that time, because he was about to meet with the emperor of Northern Qi.
The two sword eyebrows of the Northern Qi Emperor are still so straight, his eyes are clear and resolute, and no one can see that under his clothes is a daughter.
He didn't look at Fan Xian, he suddenly raised his right arm, pointed to the sea, and said in an extraordinarily firm tone: "If I am a man, I will definitely be able to dominate the world and conquer this sea again!"
The waves suddenly became louder at this time, hitting the reef in the distant sea, stirring up a loud sound like thunder, swallowing the words of the Northern Qi Emperor full of confidence but full of unwillingness.
