When Chen Xing was thinking about how to say goodbye, Wang Ziye said again: "The difficulty of the Chen family is really innocent. When there was a war in Jinyang, life was ruined, and too many people died."
Fu Jian sighed and said to Chen Xing, "It's my fault."
Chen Xing understood, Fu Jian's original intention was to apologize to him, but his parents and family were gone, so what was the use of apology
"A person can't be resurrected from the dead," Chen Xing thought for a while, and said, "I've been escaping from the world to practice these years, and I've already seen it."
Fu Jian nodded, and the study was very quiet for a while. At the end, Wang Ziye got up to leave and said, "I have to go to the list of Chunjue. Forty-eight Confucian scholars who are filial and honest have been sent from all over the country."
Fu Jian got up and said, "I won't give it away, just to catch up with the children."
Being able to win the favor of an emperor should be the wish of the civil and military of the whole dynasty, but Chen Xing did not have much flattery. There was no other reason. He did not come to Chang'an to seek a place, and he was not afraid of offending Fu Jian. In addition, Hu Han has a share, and it is impossible to give birth to too much closeness.
Wang Ziye did not go out of style, and glanced at Chen Xing meaningfully.
"What is your Majesty looking for me?" Chen Xing asked proactively.
The events of last night were still in his mind, Chen Xing needed a little time to sort out from the beginning, the clues of the Exorcism Division General Administration were cut off like this, and the two brothers Feng Qianyi broke up unhappily. Who was the assassin who chased after him? Was it sent by the Feng family to kill him, or was it the secret master messenger who manipulated the "魃"
Fu Jian said seriously: "First of all, thank you for saving our Da Chanyu."
Chen Xing was busy and humbly dared not take it, just by the way. Fu Jian asked Chen Xing how he got to Xiangyang City. After what happened last night, Chen Xing vaguely felt that he was in the light and the enemy was in the dark. After publicizing his identity, everyone in the palace and outside the palace knew it, so he kept his mind a little more, only passing Xiangyang on the road, just got trapped and couldn't walk.
Fu Jian is not a person who gets to the bottom of things. Chen Xing observed his expression, obviously what he said, and he believed it calmly. Fu Jian asked Chen Xing what books he had read in his life and whether he would write an essay, and Chen Xing answered honestly. : "I have studied medicine for a few years, and I am ashamed. I can only treat people and write articles about the way to govern the world, but I don't learn much."
Fu Jian smiled and said meaningfully: "I couldn't hold back my itch, and I learned a few tricks with Da Chanyu. After all, I'm old and my shoulders are stiff, so just give me a few injections."
Chen Xing: "…"
Without waiting for Fu Jian's instructions, the inner servant had already sent the needle and stone. Chen Xing thought about it and said happily, "Okay."
Fu Jian took off his half-length imperial robe, showing tangled muscles and naked shoulders, lying on the couch in front of the desk, Chen Xing sat over, took silver needles, and after the moxibustion was over, he gave Fu Jian the needles.
In addition to the titles of "Emperor Qin", "King of Heaven" and "Common Lord of the North", Fu Jian also has a resounding title, "the first warrior of the Qin Dynasty". Most of those who have fought have died. But Chen Xing had no doubt that Xiang Shu had the strength to defeat Fu Jian.
Because he found a small bruise on Fu Jian's heart, which was obviously a scar after being hit by the scabbard, and replaced it with a sharp sword, which could take Fu Jian's life in one fell swoop. Fu Jian may not be able to beat Xiang Shu - Chen Xing thought to himself, Xiang Shu is better than him because his speed is too fast. No matter how brave Fu Jian is, he may not be able to resist Xiang Shu's lightning-like move.
"I saw you for the first time that night," Fu Jian said casually, lying on his stomach, "I know you can't be Shulukong's servant, you are a scholar, and like them, you have the temperament of a scholar."
Chen Xing said with a smile: "I and they are really not in the same group. Your Majesty is still wrong."
What Chen Xing said was the truth, not modesty. Although it was a family tradition, after escaping from Jinyang, Chen Xing was not like an ordinary Confucian scholar. What I usually study is all subjects such as mountains and seas, folk customs, astronomy and geography, etc. Most of these are "miscellaneous studies", which are despised by Confucian scholars.
The teachings of Confucius and Mencius are, on the contrary, the natural enemies of exorcists. As the saying goes, Zi does not talk about strangeness, strength, chaos, and spirit. It can be seen that Confucianism strongly opposes the "illusory world" familiar to exorcists, and advocates focusing more on this "present world" in ordinary times.
"You remind me of someone."
Fu Jian closed his eyes and said slowly, "A Han Chinese."
Chen Xing took the needle and plunged it into the lower third of Fu Jian's neck. At this time, he only needed to stab the Fengfu Point on the back of Fu Jian's head with the needle, and the needle would penetrate three inches, and Fu Jian would be killed immediately.
He didn't know why the honor of an emperor dared to hand his life into the hands of others. With such a needle, he would surely complete the great cause of revenge that Feng Qianyi was thinking of.
But Chen Xing didn't do that. Even if he had Suixing's protection, others also had Ziweixing's protection. If we really wanted to go on like this, Suixing and Ziweixing had a fight, and it was not certain who would win and who would lose.
"Have you seen my father?" Chen Xing said.
"No," Fu Jian replied with his eyes still closed, "I only admired the name for a long time. But the person I remembered was named Wang Meng. He died a year ago."
A few years ago, Wang Meng was Fu Jian's number one think tank. He assisted Fu Jian in defeating the number one enemy, Wen Wen, established the pattern of Qin and Jin's rule by rivers, and gave him advice to bring down the cruel and murderous last emperor Fu Sheng. He promulgated many laws of the Qin state to enhance the status of the Han people, and often reminded Fu Jian that to lay the foundation for the future, the strength of the Han people is still needed.
When Wang Meng was alive, Da Qin was like a galloping carriage, swept away the weak and exhausted scene in the Jin Dynasty, and the more he fought, the more courageous he became. He has not lost a victory in ten years, and Fu Jian has also become an unparalleled god of war. Qin State has also become the most vibrant country in the world.
Fu Jian often compared Wang Meng to Zhuge Liang as a confidant. However, Wang Meng only lived to be fifty years old and then let go. When he died, Fu Jian also suffered a major blow, and his temples were white. After more than a year, Fang gradually came out.
"Well." Chen Xing was thinking of something else.
"The prince Ye you saw just now," said Fu Jian, "is his clan brother."
"Oh?" Chen Xing stuck the needle again, and applied a dozen or so needles on Fu Jian's back. Fu Jian said to himself again: "You don't look like Jing Lue at all, but for some reason, when I first saw you, I thought of him..."
"Maybe." After Chen Xing finished the needle, he smiled at Fujian, "Because Wang Meng is my senior brother, we both studied under the same master."
Fu Jian suddenly realized, and at this moment, Fang burst into a burst of laughter, without doubting what Chen Xing said at all, and said repeatedly: "So it is, so it is!"
Chen Xing explained: "Since I entered the division, I have only met my senior brother twice, and I didn't say much. The first time was in the fifth year of Jianyuan..."
Fu Jian said, "That's right, that year, before Jing Lue helped me defeat the constant temperature, I went back to Huashan once."
Chen Xing said "um" and said, "The first time was in the sixth year of Jianyuan."
Fu Jian said: "Jinglue and I bid farewell to the hegemony, attacked the Murong clan of Xianbei, and defeated the enemy army."
These two times were the only opportunities for Chen Xing to meet his senior brother Wang Meng. It was because Wang Meng had difficulty in making a decision when he faced the arrival of the Universiade in China. In Chen Xing's memory, the senior brother was an open-minded and open-minded person, and he was also very kind to him, but he was still young at that time, and he didn't have many deep memories.
"Your Majesty, don't move," Chen Xing said, pressing Fu Jian's back, "there are still a few more stitches."
"Same class." After listening to Chen Xing's explanation, Fu Jian said thoughtfully, "It's a pity that Master has passed away. Then, have you and my daddy Chanyu have a marriage contract? It's the right match."
Chen Xing: "…"
Fu Jian: "Light... lightly."
"Your Majesty," Chen Xing approached with a threatening voice and said, "I'm not familiar with him. Not even friends!"
Why does everyone think that they have something to do with Xiangshu? ? ! ! Chen Xing has lost his temper. Could it be because he was brought into the palace by Xiang Shu? However, after thinking about it carefully, he had the grace to save Xiang Shu, and Xiang Shu traveled a long way to bring him to Chang'an. It is no wonder that Fu Jian misunderstood the relationship between the two at the beginning.
Fu Jian said: "Well, it's not, it's not, don't be impulsive."
Chen Xing finished the last two stitches and said, "Okay, don't move, Your Majesty."
Fu Jian added, "Since you are Jinglue's younger junior brother, you left your teacher's door and came to Chang'an, presumably to live in peace. What do you think of Daqin?"
Chen Xing simply packed his things, sat aside, and replied, "I'm just passing by, I'll have to leave soon."
Fu Jian was suddenly a little surprised and asked, "Where do you want to go?"
Chen Xing spread his hands and smiled, "I don't know."
Fu Jian lay on his stomach, turned his head slightly, and asked again, "Have you made an appointment with Shulukong?"
Chen Xing: "I have nothing to do with him, Your Majesty."
Fu Jian was afraid that Chen Xing was going to make fun of himself again, so he hurriedly signaled to be okay, let's not mention this for a while, think for a moment, and then asked: "Chen Tianchi, what do you think is Princess Qinghe's cousin, the regular attendant of Sanqi under my command, that name is called Tuoba. How is the boy Yan?"
Outside the study, Tuoba Yan coughed awkwardly.
Chen Xing: "…"
"Your Majesty," Chen Xing said sincerely, "as the emperor, you have a lot of time to do, why do you have nothing to do and come to kiss me? Or a man's marriage?"
Fu Jian said, "Da Chanyu and Tuoba are my good brothers. We are talking about marriage for our brothers. Is there any problem?"
"No." Chen Xing immediately changed his tune, "But I'm also looking for a girl to kiss!"
Fu Jian laughed again and explained, "As the autumn begins this year, I am going to issue a new decree that all men in the world can get married, and there is no need to be bound by the etiquette in marriage."
"I heard." Chen Xingbai said boredly, "But I..."
Fu Jian made a gesture and interrupted: "Don't look at Tuoba boy who is usually not showing off the mountains or water, but he is very wise and ignorant, smart and transparent, young people, small things are occasionally reckless, there is no way, big things are never ambiguous. If you are willing to marry him, it will be a good thing, why don't you stay in the court and serve me
Chen Xing: "I..."
Chen Xing wanted to slap Fu Jian directly while the needle could not be moved, but suddenly he thought something was wrong. Ordinary people, get the emperor's finger marriage, marry the most favored military commander, fourth-rank military attache, and young talent in the court. , what a great blessing it is? ! No matter how his own family background is, he is just a grass-roots citizen at the moment, not to mention the common people, even if Fu Jian opens his mouth, he is naturally grateful. How can there be any reason to refuse
Chen Xing took a deep breath and said with a smile, "Everyone is a man..."
Fu Jian said: "That's right, why should you be coy? All we want is a quick word. In our hometown of Di people..."
"I mean, everyone is a man, so if you want to get married, you shouldn't use the word 'marry'!" Chen Xing was about to flip the table and said, "Why didn't someone else marry me?"
When Fu Jian was interrupted by Chen Xing, he didn't get angry at all, and only said: "If you are willing to become an official in the dynasty, assist me in the hegemony of the world, and let me see your strength, then you will be appointed as an official from the third rank and above. What's the harm in making Tuoba Yan your wife?"
Chen Xing: "No no no, that's not what I meant..."
Fu Jian: "You ask Yan'er, would you like to..."
Chen Xing: "No! Wait! Your Majesty!"
Chen Xing only listened to Tuoba Yan, who was standing outside the study, coughing again, and immediately cut off Fu Jian's words regardless of everything. Not falling.
"To be honest," Chen Xing had to answer Fu Jian seriously, "It's not about who to marry, Your Majesty, there is one thing..."
"Da Chanyu is here." Tuoba Yan suddenly said loudly outside the door.
Chen Xing wanted to simply tell Fu Jian that you are so blindly married that it is useless to force Tuoba Yan and I to marry. Anyway, I will not live to be twenty years old, and I am still very busy... When I heard Xiang Shu came , the conversation stopped abruptly.
Without waiting for Fu Jian's permission, Xiang Shu entered the imperial study room, frowned slightly, and found a place to sit down.
Chen Xing glanced at Xiang Shu and found that today Xiang Shu had changed into a black martial robe and a pair of black boots. There was no embroidery or gorgeous embellishment on his body, except for a black iron finger tiger on his right hand. The clothes are simple, and the complexion is more fair, like a straight poplar tree with vitality and brilliance.
Many people want to marry Da Chanyu, Chen Xing thought to himself, if you have nothing to do, you should go and ask them to marry. Marry Xiang Shu with the sixteen boys in the hall this morning and see what he does.
"Shulukong?" Fu Jian said, "I heard that you have brought sixteen marriages to each of the Xianbei, Xiongnu, and Qiang families in Chang'an?"
Chen Xing: "…"
Xiang Shu didn't answer, just sat down, and Fu Jian joked again: "You are also the age to get married, but is it enough to marry the sixteenth room? Don't pretend to be young and strong, take turns overnight, stay What's the root cause of the disease, or..." Then he looked at Xiang Shu with suspicion: "What other preferences do you have?"
Chen Xing almost laughed out loud and forcibly held back, but Xiang Shu said solemnly: "Stop talking nonsense, I am afraid that you will not be able to come, so I sent your call to Murong or something and sent it away from a distance. out?"
Fu Jian said angrily, "I'll show you what I can do now!"
Fu Jian put his hand on Chen Xing's shoulder, Chen Xing was blank, he didn't understand the meaning of what the two of them were saying, but he felt a dangerous aura from Xiang Shu's body.
Fu Jian smiled nonchalantly, let go of Chen Xing, and said to Xiang, "Or are you going to try it yourself?"
Xiang Shu restrained his murderous aura and said coldly, "Go away!"
The study suddenly became quiet, Chen Xing thought for a while, broke the quiet atmosphere, and said, "The needle is drawn, Your Majesty."
Fu Jian signaled to pull it out, and then said to Xiang: "I heard that a Han Chinese died last night on Tongren Street in the northwest, but it was a driver who was driving a car."
Chen Xing's heart suddenly froze. He didn't expect that Fu Jian would pay attention to such trivial matters. Yes, if ordinary people were waiting to die on the street, the government would have intervened. However, this person is related to Da Shanyu, and the government will definitely not dare to trace him, so he has to report to the palace.
In his heart, he wondered how Xiang Shu would explain it.
Unexpectedly, Xiang Shu just said a word: "I killed, what?"
Fu Jian said casually, "What are you doing by killing an unarmed Han Chinese? It's not like you."
Chen Xing's mood was quite complicated, but Xiang Shu said, "Because I'm a mad dog, I'll kill anyone when I see them."
Chen Xing: "…"
Fu Jian naturally knew that this was not the case, so he just said this to block him.
"This is Chang'an, not Guanwai." Fu Jian's voice became serious and explained, "When you come to Guanzhong, you have to abide by the laws of Guanzhong. Killing the Han people, what you do is to destroy my dynasty, despise my imperial edict, Shulukong, don't do this again, you will embarrass me."
"No... it's not like that." Chen Xing wanted to explain, but glanced at Xiang Shu, but took it back.
Xiang Shu shook his head slightly, meaning not to say anything.
Fu Jian said lightly, "Chen Tianchi, what do you think of Chang'an under my governance?"
Chen Xing was silent for a moment, and then said the truth: "The governance is very good, the prosperity is prosperous, and it is worthy of being the capital of the country."
Before entering Chang'an, Chen Xing envisioned a completely different scene. He did not expect the capital to be so prosperous, and the Hu and Han ethnic groups lived in peace with each other without committing any crimes.
"When they lived outside the Great Wall, there was no law and order," Fu Jian said calmly. "Even if there is a law, most of them have no laws. Let them know the price of killing people is too difficult. I want to make the world go The people of all ages are fed and clothed, and the journey of the Great Dao is also a common cause of the world. The old will end, the strong will be useful, the young will be useful, the punishment is benevolent, and the people have a long life... The law is empty."
After Chen Xing finished pulling the needle and put it away, Fu Jian moved his shoulders and returned to normal, nodding in satisfaction.
"Think about it," said Fu Jian, "this is not the time when we are outside the Great Wall."
Xiang Shu was a little impatient, just got up and glanced at Chen Xing.
Chen Xing knew that Xiang Shu had something to say, so he just got up and said goodbye to Fu Jian.
However, Fu Jian said: "I asked you about that earlier, but you haven't given me an explanation, Chen Tianchi. There are really not many people in the world who dare to use slow tactics against me."
Chen Xing didn't expect that Fu Jian still remembered, look at Xiang Shu, and then look at Fu Jian.
Xiang Shu first went out, not wanting to listen to the two of them, Chen Xing hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Your Majesty, if you want to get married, you must have feelings? What about people who have no feelings? , I... You have so many things to do, so don't worry about it."
Fu Jian didn't expect Chen Xing to answer like this, so he laughed and said, "There is no emotion, it can be cultivated. It's interesting that you say that, that's all, let's go."
Chen Xingru got the amnesty, and hurriedly backed out, suddenly thinking of Tuoba Yan, and began to feel embarrassed, but glanced to both sides, but found that Tuoba Yan was no longer outside the door, only Xiang Shu was waiting for him.
Chen Xing was very worried and followed Xiang Shu out. Xiang Shu suddenly turned around. Chen Xing was afraid of being beaten. He thought that Xiang Shu was going to beat him again.
Seeing Chen Xing's appearance, Xiang Shu couldn't get closer, so he had to say, "I understand, you didn't lie to me. You are indeed an exorcist. On the day of Long Zhongshan, you used mana."
Chen Xing thought to himself that you beat and scolded you, but now that you have recovered, you have come to apologize? Is it okay to apologize as if nothing happened
"Oh." Chen Xing said, "So what?"
Xiang Shu said coldly: "But you shouldn't have gone to Songbaiju last night. Jiantou already knew about their plot, but he hasn't got enough evidence yet, so he doesn't want to start the killing lightly."
Only then did Chen Xing know that the Feng family was in Chang'an City, under the emperor's eyes, plotting a rebellion and assassinating Fu Jian. He has full confidence in his strength, and these people who rebelled are just clowns jumping on the beam to him.
Second, the other party didn't move. Fu Jian didn't want to create the name of a bloodthirsty tyrant among the Han people.
"How do I know?" Chen Xing said, "I'm just looking for the ruins of the Exorcism Department. How can I expect that they would hide in Pine and Cypress Curie to discuss this kind of thing?"
Xiang Shu looked around, there was no one around, he simply sat down in the corridor, holding one knee and thinking for a while.
Chen Xing originally hated him so much, but when he saw Xiang Shu's appearance, he couldn't get angry. The early spring sunshine fell on Xiang Shu. This beautiful man is really pleasing to the eye. Today, Xiang Shu is dressed up. Like an assassin, his whole body is filled with a handsome but dangerous aura.
Chen Xing had to vent his anger with the tree in the garden, broke a branch, and smoked the bush a few times, pretending to be slaughtering, and said, "Finally, they asked me to help kill Fu... I didn't agree to kill that, I'm going to do it today. I just started, and it's your turn to come to me?"
Chen Xing guessed that Xiang Shu had waited for a long time, but he didn't see him coming back. He was afraid that something would happen, so he rushed over to have a look. In this way, Xiang Shu treated him very strangely. If it wasn't for fear that he would be in danger, he would never go to Songbaiju rashly.
Chen Xing told what happened yesterday, and observed Xiang Shu's face, thinking that he should be a tight-lipped person, after all, he didn't talk much. For some reason, he always felt relieved to tell Xiang Shu the matter.
"There is a clue to the guy who killed you?" Xiang Shu suddenly said after hearing Chen Xing's description.
"No," Chen Xing had to answer, "could it be sent by the Feng family?"
"Impossible." Xiang Shu rejected without thinking.
"Why?" Chen Xing said, "Seeing that they couldn't convince me, they decided to kill me to silence me..."
Xiang Shu replied: "Because the Feng family knows that you were taken away by me, and you won't do it this night, otherwise you will only cause trouble for yourself."
Chen Xing pondered: "Who would that be?"
But if you think about it carefully, it will not be Feng Qianyi, just because the shadow assassin is obviously some kind of monster, since Feng Qianyi can't activate the family heirloom sword, naturally he should not have the ability to use such monsters.
Chen Xing and Xiang Shu looked at each other, the power of the heart lamp seemed to let them know each other's thoughts.
The only possibility is...
That group of mysterious people has been eyeing them.
"'They' are in Chang'an City?" Chen Xing murmured.
"You still don't understand?" Xiang Shu replied, "You are too rash!"
Chen Xing spread his hands and said: "First, before I went down the mountain, I didn't know that there would be such a group of guys in the world conspiring to do this or that in the dark, to subvert the mainland of China. Second, I was saying that I was an exorcist. You didn't stop me, Dharma Protector..."
Xiang Shu said indifferently: "I'm not a guardian, I just want to find out the truth."
Chen Xing: "Okay, take a step back, what's the use of Zhuge Liang now? You..." After looking at Xiang Shu, he asked curiously for the first time, "Why are you so obsessed with the inside story?"
Xiang Shu responded with silence.
