chapter 37 – a man in the temple, not in his own body

“What to do?” Fei Jie’s pupils of his eyes’ that strange color became more and more intense, his messy hair, like a fire burning, “Only a fool knows what to do, it’s just that abbot, I have to remind you of this, even if you hide yourself a little deeper, but you have already implicated so many people, in the future, once something happens, his majesty will always suspect you.”

Chen Pingping gently patted his knees like frozen wood, stretched up two fingers, slightly flexed one and said, “The situation you are talking about is that …… his majesty won, so that he may suspect to me. I never denied that, because the truth is, although I have ninety-nine percent of the secrets in this world, there is still one percent that I can’t touch.”

“Such as the Imperial Heart.”

“That’s why I would choose to cut, and not being so would not be enough to convince, not enough to allow that child to still live very happily afterward.”

Cutting is to cut with blood and fire, it is to cut with the truest breath of death, Fei Jie is the old man of that year, and has been in a high position in the Supervisory Academy, there is no doubt that he is the one who has the clearest grasp of Chen Pingping’s true thoughts in this world, although Fei Jie is still puzzled about the ultimate purpose of the dean of the Lord, he immediately heard and understood the word “cutting”.

When a number of years later, the sniping in the valley will be like a layer of paper, and will be like a piece of cloth, a black cloth? It covered Chen Pingping’s heart, shielding a certain young man from the searingly skeptical gaze from the dragon chair.

“What if His Majesty loses?” This was Fei Jie’s biggest worry, His Majesty was after all Fan Xian’s oldest son, if he won, at least Fan Xian, who seemed to be loyal at the moment, wouldn’t have too much of a problem, but once it was the Eldest Princess’s side that had won the world, if Fan Xian wanted to die, I’m afraid that there was no way for him to die a too good-looking death.

“Don’t underestimate this child Fan Xian.” Chen Pingping flexed back that last finger, her not so big right hand clenched into a hard fist, “Fan Xian is like this fist, he has power, and with all five fingers tucked away in his palm, it’s like a volley, what exactly is in this child’s mind, I’m not very clear, but I can vaguely guess.”

“Fingers exposed outside, easy to be chopped off, pinched in the fist is much safer, at any time it may pop out and hit someone with a violent chestnut.” Chen Pingping laughed shrilly, “If we old men don’t die, how can that crazy girl, the Eldest Princess, control the world with ease? Fan Xian sent all his brothers and sisters to Northern Qi, and privately did so many things with the North, why was this? Isn’t he preparing for all this? If he can hide his thoughts from others, can he hide them from me?”

This is really true, Fan Xian secretly shifted his power to the north, relying on the resources of the Supervisory Yuan, Chen Pingping, as the ancestor of the Supervisory Yuan, where is the possibility that she could not guess?

Chen Pingping slightly lowered her head, pulled the woolen blanket on her lap upwards, and said, “This guy actually thinks farther than everyone in the dynasty, and arranges his backroads more solidly than everyone else, and I’ll bet that even if he can’t stay in Southern Qing in the future, the world is still going to be changed because of him, and Northern Qi’s base is still there, so think about it for yourself.”

Fei Jie opened his mouth wide, unable to speak for a long time, after a long time he sighed quietly, “This is treason.”

Chen Pingping sneered and said, “The country will not be a country, why is the word treason? What’s more, for that child, this country really has nothing to cling to.”

Fei Jie understood the mental feelings of the head dean, and still couldn’t help but shake his head, “Could it be that Fan Xian has already grasped the secrets of the inner treasury?”

“I’m not sure.” Chen Pingping bowed her head and said, “But after spending a year in Jiangnan, if this kid doesn’t want to find a way to pinch those manufacturing processes in the inner vault into his hands, I simply don’t believe it.”

Fan Xian, if he was present at this time, would have admired this old cripple, his thoughts were completely guessed by the other party.

“If there really is a big mess in the future, Fan Xian ran straight to Northern Qi.” Chen Pingping sighed, “Even if our Daqing Dynasty is extremely unhappy in its heart, but with the Chang Princess and Ye Qin’s two families, can they destroy Northern Qi? With this and that, the fortunes of the country will change, I am afraid that the world’s situation will be turned upside down.”

Fei Jie shook his head, “It’s just an inner treasury, even if Fan Xian has the ability to master half of the technology, it will only allow the Northern Qi court to earn more money, it won’t change anything.”

“Change nothing?” Chen Pingping snorted, “In this world, there is no longer anything more important than money, Miss said …… so back then, only Miss is not as greedy and ruthless as Fan Xian.”

“Would Fan Xian really do that?” Fei Jie sighed, “But he is, after all, a member of our Daqing people, going to help an enemy country …… I don’t really believe it.”

He continued, “Then he might as well choose to stand by His Majesty’s side and take care of the court for Him. Once he goes to a foreign country as a guest minister, even if Beiqi rewards him, he’s just a favored minister without personal freedom, what’s the benefit?”

“It’s marvelous to say.” Chen Pingping smiled and said, “Although I have never said anything explicitly to him, and I believe that Fan Jian won’t say anything either, Fan Xian has always seemed to have a deeply hidden knot in his heart for his majesty……. This child can endure, and endured to the point that I also only recently realized this. Since he has a knot in his heart, it’s no wonder he’s been looking for a way back …… Fan Ruo Ruo is so, and Fan Si Zhe is so, and if Fan Shangshu really resigned from his post a year ago, I’d say that Fan Xian would have simply arranged for him to return to Tanyuzhou to retire.”

“Tanyuzhou that place is good, it doesn’t take days to get to Dongyi City by boat, and my Daqing Dynasty’s navy can’t even stop …… from Dongyi City to Beiqi is even closer.”

Fei Jie shook his head, “Thinking is too metaphysical, how smart is Fan Xian, he is only a young man less than twenty years old, how can he calculate things to that far into the future? Besides, as I said earlier, Northern Qi is after all a foreign country, what kind of assurance does he have that he can gain the trust of the Northern Qi royal family? It’s not good to have an old man as an emperor …… favoring to go and become a minister of someone else’s family.”

“This is just my guess.” Chen Pingping blinked her somewhat tired eyes and said, “Who knows how it will develop in the future? However, regarding whether Northern Qi will accept the fleeing ministers of Southern Qing, this I think Fan Xian should have a number in his heart, at least in the last two years, he doesn’t need to think about this problem …… Don’t forget that village girl called Haitang, Fan Xian this kid has spent so much effort to trick such a woman who doesn’t look amazing to get his hands on it, to say that this kid doesn’t have some conspiracy ideas, I don’t believe it. I don’t believe it.”

Would Fan Xian, who was recuperating in Kyoto, feel wronged?

“As for the royal family of Beiqi ……,” Chen Pingping frowned: “The empress dowager can’t hold out any longer, and Bitter Lotus hasn’t said a word, and the most capable young generation of her own family have all thrown themselves under the hands of the young emperor, and in two years’ time the young emperor of Beiqi will be in power. The little emperor will be in power, and …… don’t know what reason, that little emperor is still really trust Fan Xian, so much silver let go of the matter …… can’t figure it out, can’t figure it out.”

“Maybe, no, not maybe, at that time, I have long been dead, care so much to do? I just felt relieved, relieved that Fan Xian had not failed me in my cultivation.”

“In the courtyard, I once said a few words to him, asking him to set his sights higher.”

“He’s done well, although he said that the details often go wrong, he’s done a good job of preparing himself in the conceptualization of the general situation.” Chen Pingping comforted the old man, “Making a mess in Kyoto is just a matter of one country, his heart is now set on the world, this alone makes him naturally a level higher than Li Yunrui, and starting to get closer to our great majesty.”

After thinking for a while, Fei Jie said, “Dean confused me again today, I just wanted to come and ask about the sniping in the valley, I didn’t think of bringing up the world.”

Chen Pingping laughed and said, “I think it’s best for you to go to the Fan Mansion at this time to look at your disciple’s injuries.”

Fei Jie shook his head and prepared to leave.

Chen Pingping suddenly said, “Tell him that he can’t leave, at least not while I’m still alive.”

Fan Xian didn’t think of leaving, those arrangements were just a last way out just in case, Seven Leaves had traveled between the three major workshops in northern Fujian and Hangzhou, risking strange dangers to allow himself to quietly transcribe a thick copy of the inner treasury dossier, and he wasn’t prepared to take it and defect to Northern Qi right now.

He is not that stupid, although he does not know why the little emperor of Northern Qi appreciates himself so much, but he also knows that his roots are in the country of Qing, if he can live so freely in the country of Qing, the fool will play a thousand miles of war.

It was just that the back roads had to be prepared.

Besides, there were still so many enemies and enemies in the Kyoto and countryside of Qing, how could he be willing to let go without cleaning these guys up, without putting Lao San into his position, and without letting Qing remain at peace and tranquility?

Just as Chen Pingping was unwilling, although Fan Xian had learned to look at the general situation with the eyes of the world under the old man’s teaching, his heart was actually unwilling.

In fact, Fan Xian want to leave very simple, such as five bamboo uncle well back, himself and five bamboo uncle single drift away, in Quanzhou boat to the western world to see the Western world, find those mysterious and extreme but also extreme mage fight, soak a few Helen, that is the pleasure of the extreme.

I think even if the emperor, Ye Liuyun, four Gu sword, bitter lotus …… world’s three major forces, do not dare to easily come to stop themselves, even if it is the army, it is impossible to leave this pair of master and servant in a certain place.

Just stay, often not because of the footsteps, but because of the tethering of the mind. Fan Xian is a person with a wife and concubines, also has a father and grandmother brothers and sisters friends and confidants subordinates beloved ……

The people in the river, the body can not help. In fact, people in the temple, why is not the body can not help.

It is not easy to pull out and leave, so Fan Xian chose to stay, and strong expansion of their own forces, ready for their own back road, always ready in this treacherous court above, with those who dare to harm their own forces to fight to the death.

So when he was lying on the bed, listening to his teacher relaying Chen Pingping’s last words, although his heart was shocked at the old cripple’s eyes like a torch, his face was calm, the corner of his lips curled up slightly, sneering, “Is the old man out of his mind, talking nonsense? Where can I go?”

Fei Jie glanced at his most proud disciple, realizing that what the kid said seemed to come from his heart, and also felt that President Chen seemed to be thinking too complicatedly, treating everyone in the world as if they were old foxes like him – although he was a great master in using poison, he was far worse than Chen Pingping in some ways, even worse than Fan Xian, so he hardly didn’t see that the little fox was actually smiling. out that the little fox’s smile was actually quite sweet.

“Let me take a look at your injuries.”

Fan Xian shook his head and laughed, “Teacher, if I can’t cure this little injury myself, wouldn’t that be a disgrace to you.”

He suddenly thought of something and took out a kraft paper bag from his side and handed it to Fei Jie. Fei Jie took it in his hand and asked, “What is it?”

Fan Xian was silent for a moment before saying, “I tried for half a year in Hangzhou and found a few medicines that seem to be able to neutralize the overbearing qi in the One Smoke Ice, to see if I can make Wan Er have a way to conceive, but I just don’t quite trust myself so I asked Teacher to take a look for me.”

Fei Jie silently, thinking that this kid will will just escape from death in the valley, nowadays Kyoto is exactly a panic, who does not know what the Palace and the Supervisory Board will do, where to think, this kid actually have the leisure to remember to develop drugs for their wives. Lin Wan’er can’t have children after taking a smoke ice, of course, Fei Jie is clear, has been feeling a little embarrassed to see Fan Xian, today see him picking out, can’t help but be a little embarrassed.

Fan Xian smiled gently, “Teacher, don’t think too much, you took great pains to cure Wan Er’s consumption, the disciple’s heart is still grateful, in fact, I don’t really care much about it myself, except that Wan Er really does want a child, so I’m troubling you to take the trouble to do so again.”

Fei Jie sighed and promised down, and suddenly realized a fact, today was originally prepared to go to Chen Garden to find Lord Dean to settle the score and seek justice for Fan Xian, but in the end, he ended up being persuaded by Lord Dean to come to Fan Mansion to be a scouting stone, and as a result, he didn’t say anything in this Fan Mansion’s bedroom, and then he let Fan Xian branch out to make medicine.

Busy and busy, this day actually did not make anything, Fei Jie was a bit annoyed, staring at Fan Xian’s eyes and said, “I’m also too lazy to guess what you two ghosts, old and young, are thinking, there is something you can say yourselves face to face is good.”

Fan Xian heatedly laughed and said, “I’ll go to Chen Yuan tomorrow.”

“You’re still injured.” Fei Jie worriedly said, “What’s more, after you were assassinated, his majesty was furious, but the investigation has made little progress …… Kyoto is abuzz with talk, and it’s not very peaceful, and I don’t think it’s appropriate for you to leave the house and go out of the capital at this time.”

Fan Xian calmly said, “Don’t worry teacher, I will never give anyone the chance to hurt me again.”

On the second day, still outside of Chen Yuan, the wooden door slowly opened, and the countless assassins of the Supervisory Yuan as well as the various organs lurking outside of Chen Yuan did not produce the slightest hint of wariness because of the visitor.

Perhaps it was because the young official who came was also sitting in a wheelchair.

Fan Xian sat in the wheelchair, slightly favoring his body to avoid the pain of the wound on his back, and allowed that old servant to push himself to the bottom of the stone steps.

Chen Pingping was also sitting in the wheelchair, a woolen blanket on her lap.

Fan Xian turned his head slightly sideways and looked at the old cripple with great interest. The old cripple also looked at Fan Xian’s wheelchair-bound appearance with great interest, and then both of them laughed at the same time.
