Chapter 144: Chess Pieces
Listening to Ye Feng's somewhat inexplicable words, Zhang Fatzi's usual hippie smile did not have a serious round face, but suddenly he restrained his smile and became serious.
His voice became calm, as if not at all surprised: "You know it all, when did you first find out?"
Ye Feng shook his head and said, "I never doubted my brother, and I don't want to doubt my brother. The person who really discovers you is the ink sevenfold. ”
Zhang Fatzi nodded and said calmly: "Yes, that old guy is insidious and cunning, and it is not uncommon for him to be able to find out in the first place." So, he told you all about it?"
Ye Feng glared at Zhang Fatzi and said, "But I don't want to believe that a brother who grew up with me since I was a child and is like a brother and sister would betray me." It wasn't until he saw the corpses of the sergeants all over the ground outside the Broken Dragon Stone just now that it proved that what Mo Qizhong said was true. But why? Could it be that all the love between us for so many years, our sharing of life and death, and our weal and woe?"
Facing Ye Feng's acupuncture-like gaze, Zhang Fatzi silently lowered his head, and only after a long time did he sigh and said: "The love between our brothers from childhood to adulthood is naturally true, even if I did betray you, but I never wanted to harm you, all of this is involuntarily!"
Ye Feng couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous.
He never believes in anything that is involuntary, and all actions are your own subjective will. Just like a cow that doesn't drink water, if you force its head to hold it, it won't drink either.
Zhang Fatzi saw the expression on Ye Feng's face, and knew that he didn't believe it, he sighed lightly: "Do you think that you can get to this point today and get the secret of Dayu Jiuding, all of which you have worked hard to find? ”
Ye Feng was stunned.
Zhang Fatzi's words sounded so familiar, which was exactly the same as what Mo Qizhong had said to him before.
Is it true that all this has been arranged by someone for a long time? I feel like I am at the mercy of others in a chess game without knowing it?
Ye Feng couldn't believe it, he set his eyes on the other righteous brother standing aside, Xie Zhenliang.
Xie Zhenliang lowered his head and was silent.
Since Ye Feng questioned Zhang Fatzi just now, he has always reacted like this, neither surprised, nor excited, or even without any mood fluctuations.
This means that at the very least, he is fully aware of the matter.
It turned out that what Mo Qizhong said was not bad at all, the reason why Xie Zhenliang, who did not know martial arts at all, would appear so coincidentally in this team that faced many dangers and explored the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum, all because of his own resolute request.
And so coincidentally, he actually knew the specific time when the Seven Stars Alignment appeared, and this Seven Stars Alignment was so coincidentally the key to getting out of the labyrinth.
What's even more coincidental is that it is all thanks to the calculations of Xie Zhenliang, who has learned the art of yin and yang arithmetic since childhood, that they can get out of the labyrinth and find the way to the mausoleum of the first emperor.
It turns out that so many coincidences are not coincidences at all, they are all deliberately arranged by another person.
Ye Feng looked at the two righteous brothers in front of him who had grown up with him since childhood and were extremely familiar, but he felt a strangeness that he had never known, and this feeling made him feel terrified from the bottom of his heart.
He asked, somewhat incredulously, "When did you guys start?"
Zhang Fatzi was silent for a while, and then sighed: "Actually, we didn't know it at first, at that time, we also thought that the four of us could get to know each other, fall in love like this, and become brothers of the opposite sex, all of this was arranged by God." ”
"But what we didn't know was that each of us was carefully selected and had our own mission. It's just that except for the boss Xia Xuan, he is the only son of his father Xia Da, Xia Daren has worked hard to keep him, and in the end, he also successfully saved this single seedling. ”
He smiled a little self-deprecatingly and said, "And we have to become involuntary pawns in this plan, facing our respective fates, and once this chess game starts, we can no longer stop." ”
Ye Feng was a little confused when he heard this, even the boss Xia Xuan was a pawn in the plan that was chosen? It's just because he was the only son of his father, Lord Hatsuhara, the head of the Tobe Shangshu, so he was successfully saved, and he was not involved in this plan in the end?
But the question arises again, he is also his father's only son, why did he become a pawn in this game without knowing it?
Facing Ye Feng's question, Zhang Fatzi just smiled bitterly and said: "You are different from others, in the entire chess game, you are the most critical and indispensable one, all the chess pieces are arranged around you, how can you escape?"
Ye Feng was stunned: "Why??Why am I the most critical one?What is the purpose of arranging such a chess game?"
Zhang Fatzi seemed to want to say something, but he stopped talking, just shook his head and said: "We don't know the whole picture of the whole plan, what we know is only the part we should know. Just like before I set off to the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum this time, I didn't know that my second brother was actually part of this plan, just as he didn't know me before. ”
Xie Zhenliang on the side sighed heavily, nodded, and signaled that what Zhang Fatzi said was good.
Ye Feng was a little stunned, and he felt extremely shocked and even frightened in his heart.
In this way, from the time they met and met when they were a few children, to the fact that Zhang Fatzi was sent to learn superior light skills, and Xie Zhenliang was taught to learn the art of arithmetic since he was a child, all of this was arranged?
What kind of plan can be planned for so long?
What kind of person can plan such a plan, calculate everyone in it, everything that happens, so accurately?
Who the hell would be so terrible?
Zhang Fatzi looked at Ye Feng, with a look of compassion in his eyes, and he didn't know if it was for Ye Feng or for himself.
He slowly asked, "Haven't you been able to think of this answer yet?"
Yes, Ye Feng should have thought of it a long time ago.
Since Zhang Fatzi, Xie Zhenliang and Ye Feng have been chosen to enter this terrible plan since they were children, and have taken on their respective destinies, as their fathers, it is impossible not to know about it.
Zhang Fatzi's father is the current British public Zhang Fu, who has enjoyed great prestige in the army for many years, and is powerful in the government and the opposition.
Xie Zhenliang's father is the world's first talent, a university scholar Xie Jin, full of wealth, and is well-known all over the world.
And his father Ye Zhiqiu is a confidant who has followed the emperor Zhu Di for many years, and he also served as the commander of the Jinyi Guard.
Their fathers are all favored by the emperor, all of them are or have been important ministers in the court, and they are very important and have power in the government and the opposition.
Who in the world would dare to do such a father, but their son was chosen to be a pawn in a vast and dangerous plan?
Except for one person!
Ye Feng's whole body suddenly trembled, and he felt a chill coming up from his back, causing goosebumps all over his body.
Only one person dares to do this, and only he can do it.
That's the current emperor, Zhu Di!
Only he has the ability to plan such a long and huge plan, and only he can make these important ministers who are fathers obediently bow their heads and reveal their sons.
is the only one who can make the two righteous brothers, Zhang Fatzi and Xie Zhenliang, choose to silently betray the friendship with Ye Feng and obey him after knowing the truth.
Because their father is not only an official in the court, but also a hostage, once they dare to disobey, any disturbance will inevitably harm the whole family, and even the whole family.
They don't have a choice.
Cold sweat oozed from Ye Feng's forehead, he only had one question and couldn't figure it out, why himself?
Why is the most critical and indispensable person in the whole plan?
In fact, his pursuit of all this is all due to the mysterious dragon pattern on his back. What exactly is the connection between this pattern and this plan?
He couldn't help but reach out and touch the stack of wax paper in his arms, which was the secret of Dayu Jiuding.
Perhaps, only by following these clues to trace the so-called ancient treasure can all these mysteries be solved.
Ye Feng looked up at the two righteous brothers in front of him with a helpless look on their faces, and suddenly remembered some things that had happened before.
When they were quelling the rebellion in the capital, Ye Feng and the others risked their lives to enter the imperial city to report to the emperor, but the first person the emperor met in the main hall at that time was not himself, but Zhang Fatzi.
It was not until long after Zhang Fatzi entered that the emperor summoned him to see him, but Zhang Fatzi was not in the main hall at that time.
However, when he saw the emperor come out, Zhang Fatzi was already waiting at the door.
To be able to enter and exit the palace hall so freely, presumably before that, Zhang Fatzi had already accepted his own mission, that is, to stay by Ye Feng's side, both to help and monitor.
And Xie Zhenliang, when Ye Feng was in distress in Huashan, Xie Zhenliang arrived in time with the second grandson of the old Sun family in Guanzhong and rescued him.
At that time, according to Xie Zhenliang, he came to travel with the two righteous brothers according to the instructions of his father Xie Jin, broaden their knowledge, and take care of each other.
But he was just a weak scholar who was powerless, and what did the scholar Xie ask him to do when he traveled the rivers and lakes? Now that I think about it, this is really full of questions.
However, at that time, out of trust in the two righteous brothers, Ye Feng didn't think much about it at all, and didn't have the slightest suspicion.
Now it seems that since the beginning of the fight, every step of his own has been in the emperor's plan, and all things cannot escape his eyes.
Ye Feng suddenly had a feeling of unreality, his friends, his experience, everything around him and even his life suddenly became so false, so ethereal, just like the stories told by others, as unreal.
Seeing that he seemed to have figured it out, Zhang Fatzi and Xie Zhenliang glanced at each other, sighed and lowered their heads, as if they had deep guilt in their hearts for Ye Feng.
After a long time, Ye Feng calmed down his chaotic thoughts and asked, "Then what are you going to do next? Leave me and my secret of Dayu Jiuding to Lord Zhao Zongru outside and the army he leads? He probably came to do the finishing work by order, right?"
Zhang Fatzi nodded a little helplessly, in fact, he knew in his heart that the real purpose of Lord Zhao and his army outside was not just to spy on Ye Feng, in fact, it was the same for him and Xie Zhenliang.
He looked up at Ye Feng, then turned his head and looked at Xie Zhenliang silently for a moment, the two of them seemed to be communicating silently, but they didn't speak.
Suddenly, he raised his head and said firmly to Ye Feng, "You, let's go!"
