Chapter 42 Wounded Parting Section 13 Brothers' Night Talk
Zhu Muzhi heard him recite these words of Jizo Bodhisattva, and he already understood Fan Yuncheng's heart to die, he quietly slipped a few tears, he originally wanted to persuade Fan Yuncheng well, dispel this idea, go home to take care of his wife and children, and live his own small life, but now he quietly understands why Fan Yuncheng wants to go to hell, because his family is no longer a family, two children died on the battlefield, and the other is accompanied by the green lantern ancient Buddha every day?
"That's it, that's it, it's just that, I can't say your ---- Yuncheng, you have followed me for many years, and the old man really can't bear to see you in danger---- you are in danger----"
"The kindness of the adult, Yun Cheng is in the mood, but there are too many things I can't tell the adult, it is because Yun Cheng has always remembered the grace of the adult, I don't want to involve the adult, the adult just took the opportunity to return home, and live in the old age, this is what Yun Cheng wants to see the most.

"Today, the six kings have received the emperor's decree, remove me from the post of Zhengqing of Dali Temple, and you will take the position---- you can think about it, how to settle the two of them? What Zhu Muzhi is most worried about is that Fan Yuncheng in front of him has already suffered an assassination, but he is afraid that what he will face in the future is a more cruel reality, which makes him worry and regret him even more.
Fan Yuncheng's eyes were red, and he smiled and said, "Master Zhu doesn't have to worry, since I dare to stand up and take this lead, I am not afraid that they will cause trouble." ”
"Alas---- everything is empty, good is not empty, promise, I hope God has eyes and can be kind to an upright person like you. Zhu Muzhi finally couldn't help it, and the old tears were full of tears.
"Master Zhu, don't be sad, these things that will happen by chance, I, Fan Yuncheng, have already experienced too much, and I will be fine. Fan Yuncheng comforted him.
"Beware of the Sixth Prince, his eyeliner ---- I'm afraid that it has already arrived in your mansion. Zhu Muzhi reminded that the six kings' favorite thing was to put eyeliner next to others, so how could Fan Yuncheng dodge.
"Don't worry, my lord, I have my own measure. Fan Yuncheng said gratefully.
"That's it, that's it, now that I'm really old, it's time to go back to the countryside to retire. Yun Chengna, you and I have worked together for many years---- but after this, I can't solve your worries anymore. Zhu Muzhi wiped his tears, "You tried your best to get this old man out of me, and you can't bear to watch me get involved in right and wrong." ”
Fan Yuncheng nodded slightly, he was a little sorry when Zhu Muzhi saw through his thoughts, but things have come to this day step by step, he knows that everything can no longer be turned back, then this old superior of his own, if he encounters a critical moment, if he doesn't avoid it, he can only be affected by himself, it is better to let him leave the capital, Mingzhe is better to protect himself.
"I don't go to hell, who will go to hell? All sentient beings are exhausted, and Bodhi ----" Zhu Muzhi smiled bitterly, "That's it, I still have to remind you before Zhu Muzhi leaves: The current emperor, he is not confused at all, you should be the most careful, it should be him!"
He didn't wait for Fan Yuncheng to answer, so he left without looking back---- Fan Yuncheng stood there in a daze, and the words Zhu Muzhi said before leaving made him suddenly feel a trace of fear.
When Fan Yuncheng returned to the mansion that day, it was already very late at night, and when he saw that there were still candles lit in the front hall, he knew that Ling Xiao had not rested and was waiting for him at home.
Fan Yuncheng slowly walked into the front hall, his legs became extremely heavy, although his body was extremely tired, but he was in good spirits, Ling Xiao was sitting there in a daze, seeing that he came back safe and sound, a heart was put down.
"Why did you come back so late today?" Ling Xiao greeted him and asked softly.
"It's done!" Fan Yuncheng said slowly.
Ling Xiao's face suddenly became bloodless, she seemed to have stopped breathing, originally she still had a glimmer of hope, that is, Fan Yuncheng could not get the position of Zhengqing of Dali Temple, if she couldn't get it, she would not hesitate to sacrifice herself to achieve her husband's wish. But she didn't expect that Mrs. Na Hui would be so attentive to this matter for Fan Yun, and when she thought that Fan Yun would have to risk her life from today onwards, she was heartbroken.
Fan Yuncheng gently held her in his arms and comforted her: "Don't think about things so badly, think about our husband and wife, we have seen all the storms and waves, there is nothing to be afraid of." ”
Ling Xiao's whole body couldn't stop trembling, of course she was afraid, she was afraid of everything that was about to happen, but things had come to this point, and neither she nor Fan Yuncheng could escape it.
"Is Brother Yan back?" asked Fan Yuncheng.
"----'s back, you always like to stay in Yu'er's room these days, do you want me to call him over?" Ling Xiao asked softly.
"No---- I'd better go over and have a look. Fan Yuncheng sighed lightly.
"Do you have to explain it to him tonight?" Ling Xiao asked worriedly.
"I don't know, Ling Xiao, it's been more than 20 years, I don't know how to tell him----" Fan Yuncheng replied to her with difficulty.
He let go of Ling Xiao lightly and slowly walked towards Yu'er's room, there was no palm lamp in the room, and he could vaguely see Yan Fei's tall figure standing in the room.
Yan Fei heard Fan Yuncheng's footsteps, and hurriedly turned around, the expression on his face was a little complicated, since he heard the news that Fan Yuncheng was promoted to the head of Dali Temple, he was not happy at all.
"Congratulations to my eldest brother for his ascension today. Yan Fei's tone was a little dry, and it sounded so harsh.
The faint moonlight outside spilled into the room, Fan Yuncheng felt a little tired, so he sat down, he hesitated for a long time before he asked, "Brother Yan, do you remember the tragedy in Zhangfu?"
"Remember!" Yan Fei replied.
"Today, I'm the eldest brother, I want to ask you something, can you answer me?" Fan Yuncheng burst into tears as soon as he said this.
Yan Fei was also very surprised when he saw his expression, he had to nod and agree: "As long as I know, I will definitely know everything!"
"On the day ---- the Zhangfu tragedy happened---- did you do it?" Fan Yuncheng opened his mouth with difficulty.
There was a deathly silence in the room, Yan Fei couldn't have imagined that the righteous brother would ask about this matter. His face was as dead as ashes, and his eyes grew darker and brighter. Yan Fei's breathing suddenly began to rapid, he didn't answer, just stared at the eldest brother in front of him.
"Brother Yan, let me ask again, did you kill someone when the tragedy happened?" Fan Yuncheng asked again with a trembling voice.
"Why did Big Brother ask about this?" Yan Fei asked in a cold voice.
"Now I'm asking you, Brother Yan, did you do it that day?" Fan Yuncheng asked loudly.
Yan Fei still didn't answer his question, he just forced himself to calm down, he didn't understand what happened to the eldest brother today?
"Do you really want to know, why am I asking you about this?" Fan Yuncheng stood up, he turned his back and didn't look at Yan Fei, he was afraid to see the increasingly desperate look on Yan Fei's face, "You are the apprentice of Yuwendu, the strategist of the sixth prince Xiao Hong, the Qiaozhou fake silver case was concocted by the prince, and you are just an eyeliner sent by Yuwendu to Wu Yingqian's side, the purpose is to monitor him well, am I right?"
Yan Fei closed his mouth tightly and didn't say a word, he felt that Fan Yuncheng, who was facing away from him at this time, had a sadness that he had never felt before, he experienced the pain and reluctance of his two sons to leave him, but the information conveyed by him at that time was different from today, and what was revealed in his expression today was a deep sadness, which made him almost breathless.
"You were betrayed by Wu Yingqian that day, not because you were the main culprit behind the scenes, but because Wu Yingqian couldn't stand your surveillance and oppression anymore, and took advantage of the gap when I went to investigate the case, secretly used a trick to transfer you away, and then went away by yourself, Brother Yan, am I accurate?" Fan Yuncheng asked softly.
“----”
"That Yuwen is a treacherous man, he is afraid that rescuing you will expose his flaws, implicate the prince, and spoil his own big things, so he reluctantly gave up on you and made you a scapegoat---- but what he didn't expect was that I would rescue you, and I became a good brother with you. And after you were abandoned by the master, you were disheartened and made up your mind to follow me, you and I have always been affectionate, and we have no second heart for each other, until ---- day we came to Yongzhou, everything changed. ”
"How did Big Brother know that everything had changed?" Yan Fei asked at this time.
"Because of your appearance, our Fan family fell into a trap dug by others in advance, and it fell deeper and deeper, almost unable to extricate itself. ”
"Why me?"
"Because your master was in Yongzhou at that time, he suddenly heard that his apprentice, who should have died twenty years ago, has now appeared in Yongzhou, he is naturally overjoyed---- he must have said that he wants you to continue to kill, but you must not agree, Brother Yan, am I right?"
“----”
"You still killed people that night, when those cruel killers killed one innocent person after another in the Zhang Mansion, you were there, and you were also one of those many killers---- why?Brother Yan, why did you do such a cruel thing? Have you had a bad time in our Fan family? Have our Fan family treated you badly? We have always regarded you as our closest person, why do you want to do such a thing?" Fan Yuncheng asked bitterly.
"Because Yuwen threatened me, if I don't kill them, he will kill your whole family!" Yan Fei said sharply, "I was also forced to be helpless that day, I can't watch your whole family die in front of me." ”
Fan Yuncheng suddenly turned around and asked loudly: "Just to save the lives of our Fan family, are you going to kill those innocent people? Your family is human, aren't those people human? Do they deserve to die?"
"Since the eldest brother said that I am a family member, what is wrong with me doing this?" Yan Fei asked.
"---- since ancient times, there have been chivalrous people, good deeds in heaven, benevolence and bravery, virtue and righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and loyalty, chivalry, righteousness and integrity, and have praised ------ Yan brother for the people from generation to generation, you are jealous and hateful, bold and brave more than ordinary people, but why are you so contemptuous in this chivalrous word?" Fan Yuncheng asked sadly, "You martial arts practitioners, righteousness is in front, but you help to abuse and kill loyal and good people------ Brother Yan, why were you so confused at the beginning?"
"Xiaoshi? Big brother thinks I'm doing this because I'm looking down? I've been in the Fan family all these years, what is there that I didn't do for the Fan family? You are my family, can I sit idly by and watch my family members are in trouble?
"The lives of our whole family?" asked Fan Yuncheng puzzled.
"Yes, on the night I first came to Yongzhou, my master found me, and he asked me to do something, something I would never do if I died------"
"What's the matter?" Fan Yuncheng asked sadly.
"He wants me to kill your whole family------" Yan Fei's eyes were red, and his voice was choked, "If you want me to kill you, how can I do it? Even if I die, I won't do this." ”
"------So you, you can only obey the arrangement of that wicked man, right?" Fan Yuncheng already understood everything.
Yan Fei's strong character also has weaknesses, he still didn't control the tears in his eyes in front of his eldest brother: "Yes, Master said that as long as I kill people, he will spare your whole family------ I don't want to kill people, I don't want to kill those innocent people, but I feel sorry for Yu'er, I feel sorry for that underage child, if that child suffers such pain, then I would rather die with you------"
"So you can only obey your master's arrangement, and if you let you kill someone, you will kill someone?" Fan Yuncheng asked in a trembling voice.
"Yes, in order to protect the people of the Fan family, I can only do what he tells me. Yan Fei replied loudly.
"Brother Yan, do you know, you really made our whole family fall into the trap of the enemy------" Fan Yuncheng had a hint of a whimper in his voice, and when he said this, he realized that Ling Xiao had told him a long time ago, and when the truth was revealed, it would be when his heart was broken.
"Big brother, I don't ------ understand the meaning of your words. Yan Fei was stunned, what the eldest brother said just now made him completely stupid.
"I finally understand that among all the links, you Yan Fei is the most critical link. Fan Yuncheng preached word by word.
