Text Season 2: Dangerous Outside the Gate_ The ninth episode of "Phantom Spear (2)": Look outside the gate

Last time, I said: Jiang Feng officially took over the position of the owner of the Beijing Zhaoxian Pavilion, and after returning to the museum, he conveyed the emperor's meaning to everyone. Guo Mofan proposed a two-way strategy, Jiang Feng happily adopted, he and Guo Mofan went to Guanwai, and the rest of the people were led by Yan Kuo to recruit talents in the Central Plains.

At the end of the next day, the guard Shang Ming entered the study and reported: "The owner of the Qiyu Pavilion, there is a son surnamed Liu outside the door who asks to see him." Jiang Feng put down the scroll in his hand and said in his heart: What should come will always come, I didn't expect him to come so quickly. If you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, is it because of what you said last time? He suddenly stopped thinking and ordered, "Hurry up and invite Liu Gongzi to meet in the study." Shang Ming said respectfully: "Yes, Pavilion Master!" Jiang Feng frowned, closed his eyes slightly, and took a deep breath.

The name of Jiang Feng's study is "Bamboo Xianju", and the golden plaque hangs in the middle of the door beam. There are countless books in Zhuxian's residence, which are inclusive of all things, and there are many names and paintings. On Jiang Feng's left hand side is a rectangular desk, on which pen, ink, paper, and inkstones are neatly arranged, and six high-quality brushes are hung on the pen holder. On the wall directly behind the desk hangs a picture of "two tigers fighting stones", in which the rock is extremely tough, and the big insect is even more tiger roaring, fierce and domineering. On the right-hand side is a semi-bowed doorway railing, which penetrates into the inner hall in the middle. In front of the left is a high-quality mahogany bed, on the upper right is a small square dining table, and behind it is a diamond-shaped window leaf, through which you can see the intricate corridor paths and the small pond surrounding the corridor, and the scenery is very beautiful.

After a while, "knock knock", a clear knock on the door came into Jiang Feng's ears, and Shang Ming outside the door said loudly: "Pavilion master, Liu Gongzi has been invited." Jiang Feng tidied up his clothes and ordered, "Please come in Liu Gongzi." Shang Ming answered, pushed open the door, Liu Gongzi was still dressed in white and elegant, with a smile on his face, and bowed: "Brother Jiang, oh no, it should be the master of the Jiang Pavilion, congratulations, congratulations." Jiang Feng invited Liu Gongzi to sit down and ordered: "Shang Ming, no one is allowed to approach without my order." Shang Ming was ordered to go out and close the door. Jiang Feng took out the cup and poured a cup of tea for Liu Gongzi, Liu Gongzi took the teacup with thanks, took a sip, and sighed: "It turned out to be a high-grade Longjing, and it is really good tea!" Jiang Feng smiled bitterly: "Brother Liu, this kind of good tea Brother Liu must have tasted it in your mansion, and he is really laughing." Liu Gongzi shook his head with a smile, and congratulated again: "Congratulations to Brother Jiang for becoming the owner of the Beijing Zhaoxian Pavilion, and I hope to help you in the future." Jiang Feng said: "Brother Liu, where is it? I am really ashamed to get this official position by luck, and I need Brother Liu to take care of it in the future." Liu Gongzi put down the cup and praised: "With Brother Jiang's talent, he deserves to be humble and modest!" Jiang Feng added another cup to Liu Gongzi and said: "Yesterday in the school field, I couldn't talk to Brother Liu, and I regret it after I came back." I don't want Brother Liu to come to congratulate me today, I want to have a good talk with Brother Liu. Liu Gongzi kept smiling, slowly took out a letter from his arms, and put it on the table.

Liu Gongzi suddenly said: "Brother Jiang, with my original intention, I also want to catch up with Brother Jiang, but I have a lot of official duties, so I still open the skylight and say something bright and inform Brother Jiang of the main purpose of my trip." Jiang Feng stared at the letter and asked suspiciously, "Brother Liu, is this?" Liu Gongzi took another drink and said, "This is a handwritten letter from my father, and I hope Brother Jiang will open it himself." Jiang Feng was taken aback, looked at Liu Gongzi, Liu Gongzi made a "please" gesture, Jiang Feng had to stabilize his mind for the time being, carefully picked it up, and looked at it carefully. Liu Gongzi kept watching the changes in Jiang Feng's expression, and Jiang Feng became more and more frightened the more he looked at it. After a long time, Jiang Feng put down the letter, and Liu Gongzi asked, "I don't know what Brother Jiang wants?" Jiang Feng looked serious and said deliberately: "Forgive me for being stupid, I don't understand the meaning of the Prime Minister." After hearing this, Liu Gongzi couldn't help laughing out loud and said, "Brother Jiang, you are a smart person, I believe that there are some words that I don't need to pick out." Jiang Feng pushed the letter back to Liu Gongzi's hand and said, "Isn't doing things for the prime minister just for the emperor and the court?" Of course, Jiang Feng understands the meaning of lobbying in the letter, it is obvious that Liu Shichen wants to win him over, it seems that his guess is right, Liu Shichen is the thorn in the emperor's eyes now. The conditions he offered were really rich, and he even mentioned Liu Bingbing, a person who was enough to shake Jiang Feng, if it weren't for the fact that he and Liu Shichen had a bitter enmity against each other, maybe he would have been persuaded by them.

Jiang Feng pretended to think for a while, and then said categorically: "Brother Liu, please go back and tell the prime minister for me, I, Jiang Feng, will definitely do my best to serve the emperor and the court, and I will do my best to do everything the emperor explains." When Liu Gongzi heard him say this, his face changed slightly, and he asked rhetorically: "Brother Jiang has really thought it through?" Jiang Feng's eyes were firm, he looked at Liu Gongzi, and said, "I have already decided!" Liu Gongzi seemed to be a little disappointed, sighed, and said softly: "Brother Jiang, have you ever thought about Bingbing when you do this? She fell in love with you at first sight, you shouldn't know it, right? If you insist on going your own way like this, she will be sad and sad, can you bear it?" Jiang Feng thought of Liu Bingbing's lovely and delicate face, and his feelings for him were also very sincere, Jiang Feng couldn't help but look gloomy. He naturally didn't want Liu Bingbing to be embarrassed, let her see that he was against her father and brother, and in the end he would have to make trouble to the point of life and death; he knew that no matter which side won the final victory, it would carve an indelible scar on Liu Bingbing's heart, and it would be her eternal pain. However, when he turned to think that dozens of lives in the Jiang Mansion were brutally killed by the traitor Wan Xingyun, his father and mother also died because of Liu Shichen. At this moment, he had no choice but to put aside his children's personal feelings, harden his heart, and make the final decision. The tangled look on Jiang Feng's face, Liu Gongzi saw it in his eyes, and said in his heart: I can see that you are still sincere to Bingbing, Jiang Feng, promise my father, you will have the opportunity to be with Bingbing in the future, otherwise, if you offend my father, you will definitely not end well, do you know?

Jiang Feng took a deep breath, and finally said: "Brother Liu, say hello to the Prime Minister on my behalf, our Zhaoxian Pavilion only runs errands for the emperor, and only obeys the emperor's orders." Liu Gongzi clenched his fist in his left hand, at this moment, he really felt unworthy for his sister, the man she liked wholeheartedly was actually just for his own glory and wealth, and he didn't care about Liu Bingbing's feelings. However, Liu Gongzi was not a person without a city after all, so he instantly suppressed the impulse in his heart, and his face returned to calm, he suddenly got up, walked to the door, and said, "Is it? Since Brother Jiang has already made a decision, it is useless for me to say more." I also hope that Brother Jiang will take care of himself in the future, and I hope that there will be a time to see each other!" Jiang Feng paused, stood up and opened the door to see him out, and said, "Brother Liu, don't worry, we will definitely have a chance to meet again." The two of them exchanged eyes, and at this moment they both knew in their hearts that from now on, they would no longer be friends, but complete enemies. The guard Shang Ming sent Liu Gongzi out of the Zhaoxian Pavilion, and Jiang Feng stood in the study in a daze and went out......

At night, Jiang Feng lay on the high bed, his head resting on the soft pillow, unable to sleep for a long time. There are thousands of thoughts in my head, and fragmentary pictures appear one after another. He recalled the conversation with Liu Gongzi during the day, today's words, he has pierced the last window paper, his position has been blurred into clear, he has completely turned against Liu Shichen, and he needs to be more careful in employing people everywhere. But Liu Bingbing's shadow has been haunting his mind, and he said in his heart: Bingbing, why did you appear in my world? Why did I meet you, why can't I forget you, why do I think of you, when I think of the situation we will face in the future, my heart will ache faintly. Do I really like you? No, I can't, absolutely not. You and I are not wrong, your father is at fault. He is the great enemy of my Jiang family, and I must kill him. That night, Jiang Feng tossed and turned, and failed to sleep well all night, and he gradually realized that he seemed to have embarked on a road of no return that he did not want to go......
