Chapter 44: Rebellion Section 1 Temporary Concealment
Fan Jun was silent, he didn't know how to answer, when Yu'er would be able to go home, this is not their Fan family's final say, the emperor has a great prejudice against the Fan family at this time, at this time their whole family has no choice, just take a step at a time, for Yu'er's eagerness to return home, Fan Jun is the most experienced, but he can only remain silent, he doesn't want to give his brother a hopeless comfort, and finally let him fall into the deepest despair.

Fan Yu knew that it was difficult for the eldest brother to answer this matter, so he had to shut up and stop asking. It's just that he wants to go home too urgently, he can't hide it if he wants to, he has been staying in the temple for the past few years, hiding his true thoughts, in the eyes of other monks, he is an ordinary little novice, doing his homework in the temple mechanically every day, he is not social and has no friends who can talk about his heart, that kind of depression and pain, is not something ordinary people can experience.
Fan Jun looked at Brother Yu in front of him, the disappointment in his eyes at this time, he saw it clearly, but he couldn't give him any promises, there were some things they had to learn to bear, and they had to endure it.
"Xiao Yu, these years the eldest brother with General Wei Rui, fighting with the Wei army, I learned a lot from it, more than ten years, we and the Wei army back and forth, fighting for so many years, we have never won, our Liang city lost one after another, those people are displaced, lost their relatives, lost their homes, lost property, we know what they have suffered, our soldiers are brave people, we want to recapture the lost city, for the people to recapture their homeland------ but we have more than enough strength, we are too far from the combat effectiveness of the Northern Wei armyγ Fan Jun said slowly, " But under the leadership of General Wei, we won the battle, more than one victory, so that our Liang finally raised his eyebrows, can recapture us from the Northern Wei Dynasty, the land that has been lost------ in these battles, I learned a lot of things, the capture of victory is not accidental, if you want to win a war, it is necessary to do a lot of preparation work in advance, the war needs horses, grain and grass, weapons, and the cooperation of the soldiers under them, these preparations, even if one is not done well, once the war starts, the consequences of defeat are facedγ β
"What's more important is that you have to know yourself and your opponent in order to survive a hundred battles. Before starting a war, it is necessary to understand the enemy's strategic deployment, and more importantly, to understand your own strength and strategy, and whether you can defeat it, these things are far more important than the soldiers charging into battle------"
Fan Yu didn't understand why the eldest brother wanted to tell him these stories of the war, but he didn't interrupt Fan Jun's words, he was willing to listen to whatever the eldest brother said at this time, even if he was asked to go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire at this time, he was willing to follow along.
"At this time, our family is facing an invisible war, Xiao Yu, the most important thing for you and me to do at this time is to be ready, make all the preparations for the war, we only have to be ready, once the war starts, we will have the certainty of victory. β
"Big brother means that he wants me to wait here?"
Fan Jun nodded slightly: "I think from the day my mother sent you in, she asked you to prepare here and wait for her order." β
After hearing the eldest brother's conversation, Fan Yu's eyes shot a kind of light of hope, he believed what the eldest brother said in front of him, he knew that in the next time, he would have to face a more cruel and painful wait, but with the words of the eldest brother to give him hope, he knew that one day, he would leave Tongtai Temple.
"Big brother, you know that the Tongtai Temple at this time can't stop me at all, as long as I gently lean over, I can jump over the high wall, but I understand that leaving the temple without the emperor's holy decree is a crime of killing the head, even if I can leave, I won't leave at this time, I will listen to the eldest brother, and I will leave when my mother wants me to leave!"
Fan Jun put his mind at ease, the little brother at this time is no longer the child who was ignorant of the world before, he has now grown into a teenager with a mature mind, but because he has experienced too many things, that mind has exceeded his actual age, for the future of the Fan family, he can only let Brother Yu continue to endure at this time.
"Every night, I will come here to practice martial arts with you and prepare for the future. Fan Jun stretched out his palm, "From today onwards, you have to redouble your efforts to practice, and you must not slack off in the slightest." β
Fan Yu stretched out his palm and high-fived his eldest brother as an oath: "Don't worry, big brother, Yu'er will work hard!"
Fan Jun knew that it was not only Brother Yu who needed patience at this time, he also had to hide his edge until the day he needed it, and he could not show his head and feet.
When he returned home from Tongtai Temple, it was not yet dawn, and he quietly turned over from the wall and did not disturb the rest of his family. When he passed by his mother's room, he suddenly saw a dark figure standing outside the door, he slowed down his steps and slowly approached to see, it turned out that Xiao Ni was standing there, the early morning of spring was still extremely cold, that Xiao Ni seemed to be standing there for a while, Fan Jun wondered why she was standing there and not leaving.
That Xiao Ni was standing in front of the bedroom of the Fan couple with a desolate stomach, she didn't know if she wanted to go in and talk to the old lady, she was leaving, although she didn't know where she would go in the future, but she was about to leave this Fan Mansion that was most like her home.
She knew that the Fan couple had always been very good to her, especially Mrs., after knowing her Mrs. Hui's daughter, she did not feel disgusted with her because of this, but was treated as usual as usual, which made her feel very warm, but after she heard about Fan Jun and Yuan Xiang, she understood that it was impossible for her to be with Fan Jun, and she had been keeping her promise over the years, and had been guarding Fan Jun's family, and now that he was back, she had no reason to continue to stay, she wiped the tears from her face, put the burden in her hand on the ground, knelt on the ground and kowtowed gently, silently said goodbye to the couple in her heart, and when she got up to leave, the burden she put on the ground was suddenly reached out and taken over.
She was taken aback, and without looking back, she slapped the person behind her with her backhand, and the person behind her jumped backwards and dodged her palm.
Xiao Ni didn't expect this person to be so good, and when she turned around, she froze, and the person who took her burden was Fan Jun.
Fan Jun knew that his parents hadn't gotten up at this time, so he turned around and ran to the backyard, Xiao Nie was in a hurry but couldn't shout, so he had to stomp his heels and go up. They came to a no-man's place in the backyard one after another, and Fan Jun stopped.
Xiao Nirvana hurried to him, stretched out his hand and said, "Bring it." β
"Where are you going?" asked Fan Jun.
Xiao Ni's eyes were red, she shook her head and said, "Where am I going, what does it have to do with you?"
"You don't say goodbye to my parents, you want to leave, something must have happened, can you tell me?"
What does it have to do with you where I'm going? Xiao Nie almost opened her mouth to say this, but she forcibly held back, looking at Fan Jun's expression, he didn't seem to know his true identity, didn't Madame tell him? Xiao Ne hesitated a little, why didn't Madame tell him her identity, could it be that there was something else ------ this?
"Don't you know who ------ I am?" asked Nirvana softly.
Fan Jun knew that she was the eyeliner sent by the enemy, but he couldn't bear to hurt this kind-hearted girl face to face, she must have been forced to do these things, not out of her original intention, after seeing Xiao Ni's heartbroken expression, Fan Jun suddenly understood why his mother praised her again and again, and also taught her how to make pastries at home, although he still thinks about Yuan Xiang in his heart, but he has no disgust for Xiao Ni in front of him.
"I know someone sent you to be an undercover agent. β
"I know that you still ask, I'll stay any longer, I'm just afraid of ------" Xiao Ni didn't go on, now she was afraid to mention those things in the past, recalling the tasks assigned to her by the master, she didn't complete any of them for the master, what made her very strange was that the master didn't arrange her tasks at all recently, but just made her lie dormant in the Fan family.
"My mother said that you are not a bad person. Fan Jun said softly after a while.
After hearing these two sentences from Fan Jun, Xiao Ni's tears could no longer be controlled, and she could only force herself to leave, she endured all these years, just so that one day Fan Jun could come back alive, she didn't dare to be his wife, she knew that the identities and status of the two people were very different, she used to have that desire and hope in her heart, but with Fan Jun's return, all this turned into light and shadow, and no longer existed.
"But I'm just sent by the bad guys, just to be a bad person for your Fan family------ why don't you let me leave?" Xiao Ni asked with a sob.
"Then tell me, who forced you to do these bad things?" Fan Jun asked.
Xiao Ni shook his head: "Madame has known these things for a long time, if you want to know these things, please ask Madame." β
"But I want you to tell me personally. Fan Jun said seriously, "Only if you say it yourself, will you let go of the burden and move forward easily." β
Xiao Nie smiled sadly, she didn't know if she could continue to move forward, she didn't know where she could go, since the Fan family left, she would leave the capital, leave these painful memories, maybe where she went, she didn't think much about it.
"Let me go, what's the use of forcing me here?" Xiao Ni didn't want to continue to suffer, "The things I promised you have already been done------ it's just Yu'er's business, and I really don't have the ability to protect him." β
"I, Fan Jun, thank you for keeping your promise, since you have done it, then I ------"
"Okay, I did what I was supposed to do, and that's enough. Xiao Ni interrupted him, "These are also what I am willing to do, so let's stop here." β
Fan Jun only realized at this time that Xiao Ni was a kind girl that his mother said, what he said was true, the girl in front of him, he had not really understood, he could not really judge what she had experienced, and the more he did, the more he couldn't let her leave.
"You can leave, but before you leave, you have to answer me a question, and if you get it right, you can leave, if you can't answer or don't want to answer, then you have to stay, and I won't let you go until you give the answer. Fan Jun was silent for a while and said.
Xiao Ni nodded, as long as she could leave this sad place, she would be willing to answer any kind of question.
"The osmanthus cake you made is as delicious as my mother's, then you must know that my mother added two materials that others don't know about, now please tell me, what are those two things?"
Xiao Ni was stunned for a moment, two flushes suddenly appeared on her cheeks, she bit her lip, and did not answer.
Fan Jun slowly stepped forward, put the burden in his hand into her hand, and said seriously: "I, Fan Jun, am the talker, if you really want to leave one day, just tell me the answer." β
Xiao Ni looked at Fan Jun's handsome face stupidly, she was already in turmoil at this time, she didn't know how to deal with this smart Fan Gongzi. It's just that the reason he said made him powerless to refute.
After Fan Jun turned around and walked out of the distance, he said loudly: "Go back quickly, if I don't keep you, when my father and mother wake up, they won't find you and blame me again." β
Xiao Nie held the burden with both hands, and suddenly laughed out loud, she remembered the problem that Fan Jun had just given herself, she originally wanted to say, but she couldn't say it in front of him, she sighed slightly, now in this situation, she can't figure out what she thinks, just ------ when she really comes to the point where she can't go anymore, she can only tell her true thoughts in her heart, at this time she can only resign herself to fate.
