Chapter Twenty-Six: The Child

The small Four Seas Inn, the breath in a guest room is as dignified as if soaked in seawater.

Ji Changan was silent for most of the day, waiting for Fang Zhongjin to walk out of the guest room, and finally asked Zheng He the question in his heart: "Why did you pull Fang Zhongjin into the water?"

Zheng He sighed and said, "Chang An, you are too emotional. ”

Ji Changan didn't agree when he heard this, he frowned and said, "If we don't have feelings, we won't mention it." But what I did when I went to Koh Chang this time was too big. You and I both know it's not child's play. He is an ordinary person, and it is inappropriate to be involved in this after all. If you do this, does the emperor know?"

Zheng He listened to Ji Chang'an's questioning, turned around the room for half a circle with his negative hand, and finally sighed and said, "Chang'an." There were so many civil and military people in the Manchu Dynasty, only the friendship between you and me was different from others. We have all followed the emperor since we were children. Now this country seems to be peaceful after all on the surface, but in fact, I don't know how many turbulent waves there are. ”

Ji Changan nodded and said, "Yes, for this reason, the emperor ordered the two of us to come to Ninghai." Shipbuilding is also to hide people's eyes, and it is the real intention to find that person. ”

Zheng He interjected again: "You try to follow me in front of the emperor this time." Don't you really know your purpose as an emperor?"

Ji Changan was robbed by him, his face was embarrassed, and he said: "Fang Zhongjin is a rare talent. What is rare is that the heart and qualifications are good. As a brocade guard, I want to entrap him under my command. What's wrong? Is such a trivial matter going to disturb the emperor?"

Zheng He asked again, "Then do you know who Fang Zhongjin is?"

After hearing this, Ji Changan replied: "I know that Fang Zhongjin is Fang Xiaoru's nephew. Fang Xiaowen's only son. He originally studied Confucius and Mencius, but because Fang Xiaoru was punished by the Ten Clans, he broke off his career.

God also pities him for having real talent and learning. Although he broke off his career, he was able to show his ambitions in martial arts. If I don't win over such talents, will I have to let other forces use them?

Fang Zhongjin is indeed Fang Xiaoru's nephew, yes. But long before we entered the capital, the two of them broke off. It can even be said that there is bitter hatred.

Besides, Fang Xiaoru's incident was just the emperor's killing of monkeys and chickens. The emperor's goal of purging civil officials has long been achieved, and now that the hearts of the people are attached, there is no need to embarrass him anymore. ”

Zheng He listened to Ji Changan's words and looked at him in a daze for a long time, as if to confirm whether what Ji Changan said was really from the heart. Finally, he sighed and said, "The emperor actually treats both of us as his own. He'd expected you to think like that. ”

Looking at Ji Changan's surprised gaze, Zheng He continued: "It is because the emperor knows the purpose in your heart that he asked me to help you take a good look. Fang Zhongjin...... He is not a simple character. Maybe neither of us can handle him. Only a chosen person like the emperor can make good use of the dragon and phoenix among people like Fang Zhongjin.

The emperor specially asked me to help you pay attention to Fang Zhongjin. Try to see if this person is against him. If there is no objection, use it. If you really have a revolt...... Zheng He slapped the two firearms on the table and said, "The emperor has his own way. ”

Ji Changan was surprised when he heard this: "Could it be that the emperor deliberately asked the two of them to meet, so as to find out whether Fang Zhongjin is still loyal to Zhu Yunwen?" When he said Zhu Yunwen's three words, Ji Changan deliberately lowered his voice, as if he was afraid that someone around him would secretly snoop around.

Zheng He didn't speak, listened quietly for a moment, and finally said: "We don't know if Zhu Yunwen is really on the island. It's just a matter of trying your luck. But if Fang Zhongjin was really loyal to his former master, he would never be able to do it all. He is a very deep city, and we can't really guess what kind of person he is. Only by listening to his words and watching his deeds can we do it. ”

When Ji Changan heard this, he was silent for a long time, and finally said, "If you want to try, just try." I'll just make sure he doesn't have any dissenting intentions. If only he had passed this test. You don't have anything to say, do you?"

Zheng He said with a smile: "Doesn't the emperor cherish talents? If he can really pass the test, he will naturally be entrusted with a heavy task." Don't be resentful when the time comes. ”

Ji Changan laughed at what he said, and scolded: "What kind of person do you say I am." Even if I want to introduce him to the emperor in person, it's no problem. He saved my life twice, and he was willing to go with me to the fire. One day he climbed on top of me, and I knew that I was not good at it. You have to try to catch up. ”

Zheng He looked at Ji Chang'an's words and said it openly, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Outsiders say that you Ji Changan is a little bully. Only those of us who grew up together understand that you have the most pure heart. ”

Ji Changan was praised by Zheng He's brainless flattery, and he was a little embarrassed in his heart, he just opened the topic and said: "It's really a coincidence." We couldn't find a good reason to visit Koh Chang. But I encountered such a thing as the need to test the ship. The three of us tried it in person, and we also blocked the mouth of Yan Junhao, a hypocrite and a real villain. ”

Zheng He nodded and said: "Exactly, I just hope that everything can go smoothly, and we can kill three birds with one stone in the end." ”

In this small room, Zheng He and Ji Changan discussed all the arrangements in detail. The two of them were not unguarded, and they had already probed all around at the very beginning. Ji Changan kept his ears open all the time, paying attention to the slightest sound around him. Even if there is just a mouse crawling over the side, it will be discovered by Ji Changan.

It's just that neither of them expected that Fang Zhongjin, who came out of Eagle Head Mountain, had reached the realm of transformation in terms of internal strength and light body kung fu. At this moment, he stepped lightly and deftly on the window lattice outside the house. The body sways naturally with the breeze, and the breath is thin and long, as if there are no gaps. With his internal strength, relying on the current Ji Chang'an, he can't detect it.

However, Fang Zhongjin's ear power has also become more sensitive with the growth of internal force. Therefore, the conversation between Zheng He and Ji Changan reached his ears as it was. He knew that Ji Changan trusted him a lot, and he was bent on winning him over. And Zheng He, or Zhu Di, is suspicious of himself, and it is normal to test himself.

If there is any Zhu Yunwen on Elephant Island, then you can rest assured. He didn't have the slightest kindness to himself, and Fang Zhongjin would never be in danger for such a person. Just act as if you don't know it. As for whether there is a deceived Wudang secret technique on Elephant Island, this is what Fang Zhongjin really cares about.

Let's just go with them.
