Chapter 77: Thanksgiving
Rao is Zhang Fan was already prepared in his heart, but he was also taken aback when Confucius's identity was suddenly revealed.
He should have thought a long time ago that Confucius was the grand master of the Great Qin Emperor's Dynasty, who had been in power for decades, and naturally knew the affairs of the various counties and states of the Imperial Dynasty.
Although it is thousands of miles away, how can you not know the movements of Wu'an County.
What's more, the Void Throne flies at an altitude of 10,000 meters, and even if it can avoid the eyes and ears of the county towns along the way, it may not be able to escape the surveillance of the Imperial Dynasty.
As for the appearance of Zhang Fan, the "second son of Ji", it must have been secretly dispersed among ministers such as Confucius since he took charge of Wu'an County.
Thinking about it this way, it is not surprising that Confucius was able to reveal Zhang Fan's identity and origin.
"It's me who was too careless and underestimated these elves!"
Prior to this, Zhang Fan was still complacent about his decision to sneak into the Beginningless City unknowingly, but he didn't expect that he had long been under the surveillance of others.
For the time being, he has not yet figured out what Confucius's intentions are, but since he knows that he has infiltrated the Beginningless City, he has never attacked himself, so he obviously has reservations.
Therefore, when Zhang Fan was shocked, he did not rush to escape or suddenly attack, but stared closely at Confucius's demeanor.
Zhang Fan was still silent on the surface, but his left arm was secretly hanging under the case, his mind moved slightly, and he quietly buckled the bricks in his palm.
At this moment, in the huge living room of the Taishi Mansion, there were only two people, him and Confucius.
And Zhang Fan secretly observed the surrounding movements with his divine sense, and found that inside and outside the Taishi Mansion, except for the normal guard patrol, there was no other abnormal movement.
More importantly, if Confucius really wanted to attack him, he could use the troops of the city gate generals to do it as early as when they entered the city, so why wait until now.
What's more, Confucius also deliberately separated Fang Mingzhou and others, leaving only the two of them alone.
It can be seen that Confucius had no intention of capturing him.
However, it is always good to be cautious and cautious.
Zhang Fan picked up the wine bottle, raised his neck, drank it all, no longer concealed it, and said with a smile: "It turns out that Mrs. Kong already knows my identity!"
"The old man also arrived at the Emperor's Pavilion, only to know that Ji Xian's nephew had sneaked into the Beginningless City!"
Confucius looked at Zhang Fan, his face full of worry, "Nephew Ji Xian, you know that the current Beginningless City is like a tiger's den in Longtan, why do you still come to send him to death?"
"My father is still suffering in the Infernal Prison at this time, how can he bear to stand by and watch as a son of man!"
Looking up at the forty-five degree angle of the sky, Zhang Fan's eyes were full of tears, and he was almost about to burst out of his eyes, and his emotions were a little agitated.
Hearing this, Confucius sighed again, "Wu Anhou can have a son like a virtuous nephew, I really don't know what kind of blessings he cultivated in his last life!"
"Ding, congratulations to the host 'Zhang Fan' for his successful flickering. ”
"Trust from Confucius, +1."
At this time, Zhang Fan suddenly got up from his seat, walked to the middle, and bowed down.
"Master Wanwang Kong has pity on me, an unfilial son who saves his father's heart, and must advise the emperor!"
"Virtuous nephew, please get up!" Confucius hurriedly helped Zhang Fan up and patted Zhang Fan's arm, "Even if you don't say it, the old man also has the intention of helping, and it is not in vain that the old man and Wu Anhou worshipped back then!"
Zhang Fan was overjoyed, bowed down, and said, "Thank you Mrs. Kong for your success!"
"The matter of the eldest prince Ji, the old man is deeply ashamed!" Confucius sighed again, "I think that at the beginning, the eldest prince Ji wanted to meet the emperor and atone for his father, and it was also the old man and the king of Qingding who made it happen, how did it happen that there were twists and turns, the old man and the king of Qingding were reprimanded by the emperor for a small matter, but it hurt the eldest prince of Ji ......"
Before he finished speaking, Confucius was already in tears, and his face was full of guilt and self-blame.
Although Confucius's words sounded like a deep remorse, Zhang Fan was such a shrewd person that he immediately heard a little bit of extraneous sound.
Zhang Fan hurriedly said: "The matter of my brother has caused Old Master Kong and King Qingding to suffer for no reason, and the little nephew is deeply frightened, and he will be compensated in the future!"
Confucius waved his hand and said, "It was because I was old and confused, and I made a mistake for a while, so I made a big mistake!"
After another pause, Confucius asked again: "Since the virtuous nephew has come to the Beginningless City, how do you want the old man to help?"
"Like the eldest brother, I also want to meet the emperor!" Zhang Fan said, "I also asked Mrs. Kong to play the book on my behalf and advise one or two!"
Confucius couldn't help frowning, "You want to meet the emperor?"
You must know that although more than half a month has passed since Ji Jin's incident, Emperor Qin is still angry at this time.
If Zhang Fan met Emperor Qin at this time, it would obviously be a collision with the muzzle of the gun.
Moreover, the last time Ji Jin met Emperor Qin, it was also Confucius and King Qingding who played on his behalf, but I didn't know that something like that happened later.
Emperor Qin was furious, and naturally scolded Confucius and King Qingding, saying that the two of them were old and confused, and there was no distinction between loyalty and treachery.
Therefore, let Confucius do the music on his behalf, but it was also a little difficult for him.
After a moment of silence, Confucius said to Zhang Fan: "Virtuous nephew, the matter is very important, you have to be cautious, it is better to go back today, and tomorrow morning, the old man will go to the Qingding Mansion with you again!"
"Qingding Palace?"
"That's good!" Confucius said, "The old man doesn't believe it, no matter how mediocre the emperor is, the old man and King Qingding join forces to advise, and he can always be more sure!"
Confucius and King Qingding, one scholar and one martial artist, are the mainstays of the Great Qin Emperor Dynasty, even the Qin Emperor is afraid of the two of them.
Although since Emperor Qin took the fox girl of the demon clan as his concubine, he gradually became brutal, building a large number of buildings, building palaces, indulging in wine, seeking pleasure, cronies and traitors, and cruelty to the loyal and good, but it will not be perverse to the point of self-destruction of the Great Wall.
In fact, Confucius and King Qingding discussed privately, and also wanted to persuade Emperor Qin to abolish the demon fox girl.
But after all, the demon fox girl was the imperial concubine sent to the Beginningless City by the Demon Emperor himself, and she was deeply favored by Emperor Qin, as if she had hooked Emperor Qin's soul, and Emperor Qin would not be able to abolish the Demon Fox Emperor Concubine no matter what.
After listening to Confucius's words, Zhang Fan said gratefully: "This is very good, then thank you to Mrs. Kong!"
Next, Zhang Fan chatted with Confucius about Emperor Qin and the imperial concubine, and he learned more about the details of Ji Jin's tragic Ling Chi.
It was not until the moon rose in the east that the banquet was dismissed.
Confucius immediately ordered someone to arrange a carriage to send Zhang Fan back to Tongfu Restaurant.
As soon as he arrived at Tongfu Restaurant, Zhang Fan found that there were twelve masters at the peak of the Qi Refining Realm guarding the door.
And inside the restaurant, it was empty, and there was no one else except a diner.
If this had been changed a few days ago, it would have been so deserted, it would have been absolutely impossible to happen.
"Could it be that someone chartered the venue?"
Zhang Fan thought to himself.
