The summer flowers are gorgeous, and the summer sunset is infinitely beautiful;

The golden remnant sun was scattered in the yellow sand desert, and the few clouds in the endless sky were washed away, as if it was only an afterglow, but it still could not be stopped;

Zhuang Feng lit the smoke and quietly looked at the desert sunset, and the remnant sun also fell on Zhuang Feng's body, which seemed to be a little lonely from a distance;

The sun is about to set, and Zhuang Feng can only watch quietly, powerless to stop anything;

Zhuang Feng just watched the last remnant sun disappear, the night fell, but it did not appear dark, the stars in the night sky surrounded the crescent moon and arrived, but also brought so much moonlight and stars;

At the end of the evening class, Shen Xin reappeared;

Shen Xin saw that Zhuang Feng was still sitting there, and he didn't seem to move, but he didn't say anything, just calmly walked to Zhuang Feng's side and sat down;

When Shen Xin arrived, Zhuang Feng's reaction was not great, he just handed over the cigarette habitually, and didn't say anything;

Shen Xin is also accustomed to taking Zhuang Feng's cigarette and lighting it quite skillfully;

"Let me ask you a question;" Zhuang Feng watched Shen Xin light his cigarette before he said out loud;

"Say;" Shen Xin responded cheerfully;

"Can a monk smoke?" Zhuang Feng asked quite seriously;

Listening to Zhuang Feng's questioning, Shen Xin was choked;

I thought Zhuang Feng was so serious, and I thought it would be an important issue, but it turned out to be something speechless;

However, Shen Xin really thought about it there, and then replied: "It seems that there is no clear precept, but the master of the academy doesn't smoke, well, others don't smoke either, well, I haven't smoked for more than a year;"

"That's when you broke your vow?" Zhuang Feng asked;

Shen Xin was choked again, and he had nothing to say to Zhuang Feng;

Zhuang Feng looked at Shen Xin's choked appearance, sighed, then stood up, and said quite seriously: "Since you have taken refuge in the Three Jewels, don't practice hard like those people in the city;"

Zhuang Feng said this very seriously, which made Shen Xin a little confused;

Zhuang Feng has been very direct to say the words that made him return to the vulgar, and now this ghost is talking two sentences and letting him practice well, this Zhuang Feng is becoming more and more contradictory;

Without waiting for Shen Xin to react, Zhuang Feng continued to say there: "I'm here today, is there any food for dinner?"

Shen Xin was speechless again;

"I still owe it to practice;" Zhuang Feng added;

After saying that, Zhuang Feng left;

Seeing that Zhuang Feng's madness was getting worse and worse, Shen Xin didn't know how to react there, he was incoherent in his speech, and he was talking nonsense;

However, Shen Xin didn't think about it more, the small temple in the mountains practiced hard, and he would have dinner on time and on time after the evening class;

Shen Xin didn't bother to pay attention to Zhuang Feng's increasingly serious schizophrenia, and flicked cigarette butts with his habit, and then went to the cafeteria;

Shen Xin arrived at the cafeteria, Zhuang Feng was sitting there, but he didn't light a cigarette, he was chatting with the master of the academy about something;

In addition to Zhuang Feng and Zhuang Feng's people in this small temple, other people and monks are familiar to Shen Xin, and there are outsiders there, except for Zhuang Feng's people, there will be no one else;

Shen Xin watched Zhuang Feng and the master of the courtyard chatting about something, and did not bother, he went to get dinner by himself, and then ate quietly;

Except for those in the city, this relatively traditional monk eats very quietly, does not gossip anything, just eats dinner quietly, and then cleans up after himself;

Zhuang Feng came to this temple to fast, and after finishing the small talk with the master of the courtyard, he also did it himself, and ate the same quietly, and then cleaned up by himself;

After dinner, it was their own evening cultivation, Zhuang Feng did not bother the master of the courtyard again, but took Xu Wei and Yang Lin back to the Zen courtyard where the guests were entertained, and then rested;

The small temples in the mountains are not like cities, with entertainment and nightlife, and Zhuang Feng is not a believer, so naturally there is no self-cultivation or anything like that;

Shen Xin looked at Zhuang Feng's quiet style, and was a little confused there;

Zhuang Feng's arrival, and bluntly wanted him Shen Xin to follow Zhuang Feng to start over, but Zhuang Feng just said a few words like he was fine, which made Shen Xin think a little too much about it;

This person sometimes just can't think too much, for example, Shen Xin thinks too much, and he doesn't even do the evening cultivation that he has long been accustomed to, and he has a lot of thoughts there;

Shen Xin read the scriptures in his mouth, but he always couldn't suppress the idea of chatting with Zhuang Feng;

In the end, Shen Xin still couldn't hold back, cleaned up with the place, and then walked to the small courtyard where Zhuang Feng lived;

As soon as Shen Xin walked into the Zhike Courtyard, he saw Zhuang Feng and the smoke burning in the courtyard;

"I thought you were really just here to fast, but there was still something going on;" Shen Xin looked at Zhuang Feng, and there was nothing polite to say, just talking there;

Zhuang Feng glanced at Shen Xin, and then said: "When did I say that I was just here to fast? From the first person I saw when I entered this temple, I said that I was here to find someone, as for you, didn't I say it directly to persuade you to return to the vulgar?"

Shen Xin choked Zhuang Feng again, not knowing how to answer this words;

Zhuang Feng looked at Shen Xin's weak appearance, and there was no embarrassment, it seemed that the words were said by him Zhuang Feng, but he was used to handing them to Shen Xinyan;

"I've said everything I need to say, I don't like to be strong, I won't do it even if it's a little reluctant, you know this;

Shen Xin listened to Zhuang Feng's words and smiled there;

Zhuang Feng is indeed such a person, he will never force others to do anything, in Zhuang Feng's words: If the cow does not drink water and press the head, the cow will not drink, and I have no hobby of pressing the cow's head;

Shen Xin thought for a while, and said with some self-deprecation: "That's what I, a monk, did, I don't think it's better not to defile this rare quiet place;"

"The little marquis is the little marquis, atmospheric;" Zhuang Feng said jokingly;

Shen Xin looked at Zhuang Feng's joking appearance, and continued there: "Why am I a little awkward to hear this?"

With Shen Xin's words, Zhuang Feng laughed out loud;

Shen Xin looked at Zhuang Feng and smiled, didn't say anything, but didn't laugh either, it seemed to be a picture of watching a play, waiting for Zhuang Feng to laugh enough;

When the two of them are together, one of them laughs with them, and the other person burns a look of watching a play next to him, no matter how funny it is, it is impossible to talk and laugh freely;

Even a person like Zhuang Feng couldn't do it, so he stopped laughing in Shen Xin's lively appearance;

"Don't laugh?" Shen Xin looked at Zhuang Feng, who was smiling, and said jokingly;

"Haha, I'll laugh twice, what's the matter;" Zhuang Feng looked like a scoundrel;

Shen Xin looked at Zhuang Feng and squeezed out a contemptuous expression there;

"If you have something to say, don't express your feelings;" Zhuang Feng looked at Shen Xin and said unceremoniously there;

"What do you think?" Shen Xin really stopped joking and said business;

"Take back the Dongqin and swallow the Beiwu;" Zhuang Feng said casually;

Listening to Zhuang Feng's casual words, Shen Xin didn't react for a while;

Zhuang Feng wants to get back what belongs to Qin Dongqin, that's for sure, otherwise why did Zhuang Feng come here, Shen Xin can also guess this, Shen Xin just asked Zhuang Feng if he had any plans or something;

Who would have thought that Zhuang Feng would actually throw out such a sentence and swallow Beiwu, which made Shen Xin a little unable to react;

"The Qin family has had a clan protector for a long time, so they can't keep spinning in place, and besides, Zixian has grown up, so she has to prepare more dowry;" Zhuang Fengnian looked at Shen Xin, still with that casual appearance;

Shen Xin also reacted, listening to Zhuang Feng's words, and also said: "Beiwu is a country that exists alone, not a territory, and can be fought for at will;"

"Just a city, that's also called a country?" Zhuang Feng said disdainfully;

Shen Xin choked Zhuang Feng's words again;

Zhuang Feng said the truth, Beiwu is an independent country, but it is true that there is only one large-scale city in the capital, of course, if a few earthen walls can also be called a city, then there are still a lot of cities in Beiwu;

As a large-scale city, the name of the country is actually not as strong as the Qin family, and with the strength of the two states, it is completely possible to annex Beiwu, which is why Zhuang Feng chose to let Qin Xian go to Beiwu;

Beiwu is too weak, and with the strength of the Qin family, Qin Xian naturally became the most powerful person in Beiwu;

It's just that no matter how weak Beiwu is, it is also a country, and if you want to destroy the country, in today's peaceful international situation, it will definitely cause a chain reaction, and even lead to a war between the Jinguo and the Weixi Empire, because the existence of the Beiwu is a buffer zone between the Jinguo and the Weixi Empire;

Zhuang Feng looked at Shen Xin's uncertain expression as if his face changed there, and said there: "I'm just talking about annexation, not to destroy the country;

Shen Xin listened to Zhuang Feng's words, and he could be regarded as reacting;

It is true that Shen Xin thought a little bad just now, the annexation of Beiwu does not mean the destruction of the country;

However, Shen Xin was still a little shocked there, shocked by Zhuang Feng, this really dared to think;

"How dare you think about it;" Shen Xin understood, and said with a smile to the man;

"What don't you dare to think?, that Beiwu is the same clan as us, it was your grandfather who became a country because they didn't fight, and I have the strength to take it back, so why not?" Zhuang Feng looked at Shen Xin and said quite seriously;

Shen Xin looked at Zhuang Feng's serious appearance, and couldn't help but think of the real reason why Zhuang Feng asked Qin Xian to go to Beiwu in the first place, and couldn't help but feel shocked in his heart there, if that was the case, Zhuang Feng's deep mansion was too deep;

Shen Xin thought about it, and couldn't help but ask, "When I sent Zixian to Beiwu, it was to annex Beiwu, right?"

"Yes;" replied Zhuang Feng bluntly;

"What a night force;" Listening to Zhuang Feng's blunt answer, Shen Xin couldn't help but curse foul language;

Zhuang Feng replied without hesitation, which made Shen Xin and there really a little shocked;

When Qin Dongqin died of illness, Zhuang Feng said that Qin Xian did not have enough ability to control the family, and Shen Xin also agreed with this at that time, not only Shen Xin agreed, but even the people of the Qin family also agreed;

With the approval of Shen Xin and the people of the Qin family, Zhuang Feng said that Qin Xian should withdraw from Huzhou and choose a small country abroad to stay and remotely control the two states;

For Zhuang Feng's statement, the people of the Qin family and Shen Xin also agreed; since they all agreed with Zhuang Feng's statement, it was a question of which country to choose, and then Zhuang Feng once again proposed to let Qin Xian go to Beiwu;

Zhuang Feng's reason at that time was that the territory of Beiwu was large, but weak, and it was connected to the same desert grassland as Huzhou, and there was no naturally formed pass of dangerous mountains and rivers, and if Huzhou had an emergency, it could also have time to support;

Zhuang Feng's proposal passed again, and Qin Xian also chose Beiwu as his temporary residence;

Later, things went very smoothly, what kind of person Qin Xian is, the forces in this desert all know; Qin Dongqin died of illness and Qin Xian ran away, which is inevitable in the eyes of all forces, and even Beiwu is not prepared, isn't it just to let Qin Xian, the eldest lady of the Qin family, take refuge?

Qin Xian, the daughter who never cares about family affairs, is just a rich sister when she arrives in Beiwu, what can happen to her;

In Zhuang Feng's plan, Shen Xin carried it out, and Qin Xian successfully arrived in Beiwu, and at the same time took a so-called loyal and loyal guard;

After Qin Xian arrived in Beiwu, as Qin Xian always gave people, she didn't do anything, she became a rich sister in Beiwu City, and lived extravagantly with her there all day long;

Now now, it has only been three years since Qin Dongqin died of illness, and this Zhuang Feng is back, and he has greater ambitions;

This made Shen Xin, who was also quite scheming, a little shocked by it;

Zhuang Feng looked at Shen Xin and the foul language that followed: "What about the people who are still cultivating the mind, I don't know if you have violated those precepts by swearing;"

Although Zhuang Feng said this, he also understood Shen Xin's reaction, but Zhuang Feng came to this desert this time, and some things really needed to be explained clearly to Shen Xin, otherwise it would be difficult to do this thing;

With Zhuang Feng's joke, Shen Xin was still shocked there, and he didn't pay attention to Zhuang Feng;

It was easy for Shen Xin to calm down a little, and he was casually burning a cigarette;

"There's no need for this, we have to get it back to Shizhou now;" Zhuang Feng looked at Shen Xin, who had calmed down slightly, and said business;

"Have a plan?" Shen Xin asked as he looked at Zhuang Feng;

Zhuang Feng looked at Shen Xin, looking a little helpless, and said loudly: "Can you be of some use, don't always ask;"

"You lords of the city are too deep, where do I need to think, we are just working as coolies, you should go and worry about these things;" Shen Xin said disapplausively;

"It's kind of self-aware, knowing that you are a coolie's life, and now you have an errand job;" Zhuang Feng said with a smile;

Shen Xin listened to Zhuang Feng's joke, but he had something to say, and looked at Zhuang Feng there, waiting for Zhuang Feng's next words;

"I need you to go back to Jindu;" Zhuang Feng put away his joke and said seriously;

After Zhuang Feng's words were finished, Shen Xin was stunned;

Zhuang Feng was not in a hurry to ask Shen Xin to say anything, Zhuang Feng knew that Shen Xin still needed to decide this matter;

Shen Xin finished burning the cigarette in his hand and continued to pick it up, and then said out loud: "You know, I cut off my relationship with my family for the sake of Dongqin back then;"

Shen Xin naturally understood Zhuang Feng's words, Zhuang Feng asked him to go back to Jin, although Zhuang Feng hadn't said what it was, but the mention of this topic made Shen Xin think of the sore spot of falling out with his family back then;

When people are young, they always make a lot of decisions, and most of them are wrong;

In order to pursue Qin Dongqin back then, Shen Xin must have disagreed;

As a noble child, Shen Xin was destined to work hard in the power circle of Jindu from birth, so that Shen Xin could not decide what he loved, and could only marry a woman according to the wishes of the family to make an alliance of interests with a certain family;

Shen Xin was young at that time, and he didn't care about his family's affection, so he resolutely broke away from his family and yelled at him to break off the relationship;

Now that the situation has changed, Shen Xin is no longer the young man he was back then, and he already regrets treating his parents and relatives like that back then;

Especially in the past year of practicing in this small temple, I have thought about going home many times, but I hurt my parents too much back then, and I don't know how to deal with it.

Now Zhuang Feng is talking about this topic again, which makes Shen Xin's heart fluctuate a little, but he also doesn't know how to face his parents and relatives;

Zhuang Feng looked at the change in Shen Xin's expression, and naturally guessed the fluctuation in Shen Xin's heart, so he said: "In this world, only the love of parents for their children is eternal, no matter what you did when you were young, as long as you want, home will still be your home;"

Following Zhuang Feng's words, Shen Xin asked with some hesitation, "Really?"

"Really;" replied Zhuang Feng affirmatively;

"How do you know?" Shen Xin continued;

Yes, how could Zhuang Feng know; according to Shen Xin's understanding, Zhuang Feng, as Old Man Zhuang's favorite boy, did not seem to have made such a mistake as Shen Xin;

Zhuang Feng smiled, and did not answer Shen Xin directly, but said with some emotion: "We have such a slang saying in Jiangzhou, if you are pregnant in October and give birth once, you have a life to drink chicken soup but not to see the king of Hades;

Shen Xin listened to Zhuang Feng's words, and fell into a tangle with him again;

Shen Xin's heart also longed to go home, and his only scruples were that he had done too much back then, and he was not sure if his parents would accept him;

Zhuang Feng looked at Shen Xin's tangled appearance, and then continued: "We are brothers, right?"

Shen Xin didn't quite understand what Zhuang Feng was saying inexplicably, but he still nodded subconsciously;

Zhuang Feng looked at Shen Xin and nodded in acknowledgement, so he continued: "Since we are brothers, then you have to express yourself when you go home to me as a junior, right, so that even if Yanhao and Liangzhou are gifts for you to go back to the second elder, I think you should be able to get it, right?"

Listening to Zhuang Feng's words, Shen Xin didn't understand too much, so he asked, "When will Yan Hao be yours too?"

In Shen Xin's memory, that Yanzhou Haozhou is not the traditional sphere of influence of the Qin family, nor is it Zhuang Feng's sphere of influence, could it be that he Shen Xin has practiced for two years, Zhuang Feng has eaten Yanzhou and Haozhou;

"I didn't say it was mine;" Zhuang Feng looked casual;

"It's not yours, can you still give it away?" Shen Xin asked;

"Just because it's not mine doesn't mean it won't be mine in the future, since it's destined to be mine, I give it away in advance, so what's the matter?" Zhuang Feng asked rhetorically;

Zhuang Feng understood what Shen Xin said;

Haozhou, Yanzhou, was not under Zhuang Feng's control, but Zhuang Feng returned to the northwest this time, but he had made up his mind to eat the five northwestern states;

When Shen Xin thought of this, he couldn't help but look at Zhuang Feng differently;

This Zhuang Feng is just thinking about Beiwu, and he is still thinking about the land of the five states in the northwest, this heart is a little too big;

"Xiao Zhuang, I find that I can't see through you more and more;" Shen Xin thought for a moment, and then said;

Zhuang Feng smiled, and said at the same time: "You think too much, I really plan to give it to your family in Yanhao and Liangzhou, I don't have such a big appetite, I can't swallow the land of Wuzhou, all I want is Beiwu;"

With Zhuang Feng's words, Shen Xin looked incredulous, and then said: "Since you can't swallow the five states, why should the two states of Yanhao give them away, you can't just give away other people's things in vain, and then let me take it myself, right? There is no book to sell in the world;"

Zhuang Feng smiled and continued: "For more than two years, the forces of Yanzhou Haozhou and Huangzhou have been fighting for our territory, and now Yanzhou Haozhou is empty, as long as I block the power of these three states in Huzhou, then Yanzhou and Haozhou are not for anyone to take;"

"I don't quite understand;" Shen Xin said bluntly;

"The three forces of Yan Hao and Huang are fighting with each other in Huzhou, and now they have affected most of their strength; at this time, if you are interested in the land of the three states, I can guarantee that these three forces will be dragged in Huzhou, or even eat the power of the three parties in Huzhou;" Zhuang Feng said quite conceitedly;

Shen Xin listened to Zhuang Feng's words and finally understood Zhuang Feng's intentions;

In terms of Zhuang Feng's means, this is to deliberately show weakness, so that the remaining forces of the Qin family can remain dormant, allowing the tripartite forces of Yanzhou, Haozhou and Huangzhou to fight on the territory of Huzhou, while Zhuang Feng is there to stand by, waiting for the opportunity to eat the power of the three parties in one fell swoop, and then go to pick up the ready-made friendship and take the land of the three states into the bag;

Yan Haohuang's tripartite forces competed for Huzhou on the ground of Huzhou, coupled with Zhuang Feng's secret burning of yin fire there, which would make the tripartite forces unable to fight there, resulting in more than two years, most of the tripartite forces have been invested in the battle for Huzhou;

Perhaps, this is the reason why Zhuang Feng came back, after more than two years of fighting, the strength of the three parties has weakened, Zhuang Feng is coming back to pick the fruit;
