Ever since he was reborn, or more precisely, since he traveled from Danzhou to Kyoto, Fan Xian sat in a black carriage, wore a black lotus robe, and carried a black slender dagger, walking in the darkness. The inside and outside are transparent black.
On the sea today, in this wide blue sea, the ship is pure, with a towering mast and white sails like the clean wings of a giant bird, as if it is about to penetrate into the white cloud in the sky.
The crippled Lieutenant Dan once tied himself to the head of a pole and scolded the injustice of the world in the face of the horrifying rain and the shocking waves, but Fan Xian, who was climbing on the top of the tallest mast, did not feel this way. After a comparison with Forrest Gump's friend, he who was wearing a thin white shirt squinted his eyes slightly, facing the morning sea, his mind and mood became pure and happy like the scene he was experiencing.
Scolding the world, blaming the sky and others, fighting against the sky and the earth, wanting to become that capitalized herringbone, this is not the life that Fan Xian, who is selfish and fearful of death, hopes for. He just greedily enjoys every moment after rebirth, glory and glory Wealth is what you want, beauty is what you want, astounding power is what you want, and spiritual enjoyment when you are alone occasionally is also what you want.
After leaving Danzhou, although there are many pleasant things to play with, but he is busy with intrigues, killing people and guarding against being killed all day long. This kind of complete relaxation and emptiness without other things has not been enjoyed for a long time.
There is no doubt that Fan Xian is the first young bourgeois in the world in Qingguo, and his mother is obviously from Paul's school, so he refused to let go of the opportunity of going out to sea for such a petty bourgeoisie, drinking like Chu Liuxiang. Drinking good wine, eating beef, and being the owner of the boat like Mr. Xu, it's just a pity... there are not many beauties in three-point style on the boat.
The boat broke through the waves, leaving a thin white mark on the blue sea, brushing past the red sun that seemed so close at hand. On the mast, the young man danced with his hands, feet, and mouth, really... like a monkey.
…
…
The sea breeze in the morning was actually a little cool. After Fan Xian shouted a few times, the corners of his shirt were blown by the wind, making him feel uncomfortable all over. Although his internal strength has long been protected from cold and heat, this wet feeling is always uncomfortable. Only then did he realize that there is always a price to be paid for acting cool, so he prepared to go down to the deck in a bit of resentment. .
He still couldn't help but greedily glanced at the seemingly endless sea, his heart filled with some unknown longing. This kind of longing has been floating in his heart since years ago, but he has never been able to accurately grasp what it is, and he has talked with Haitang before, but he has no way to dig it out of his heart.
The open sea outside the boat formed an awkward feeling with his heart that could never be absolutely relaxed. He frowned and took a mouthful of saliva. The saliva drew an arc and fell far into the sea, adding a little bit of foam and pollution to the sea.
The navy officers and soldiers on the deck below and everyone in the Overwatch Council looked up at this scene. In the past few days, they have gotten used to the occasional crazy behavior of the imperial envoy. Although a generation of poets and powerful officials suddenly turned into monkeys, they are still monkeys standing on the top of the mast and looking into the distance, which will make many people uncomfortable. , But when people think about it, all talented people always have some unique quirks, so they are relieved.
Fan Xian's spitting action caught the eyes of many people on the deck, and a sailor couldn't help but exclaimed, "Spitting is so handsome."
"Oh... Aw..." A strange cry came from the top of the mast, "I am Tarzan! I am Tarzan!"
…
…
Everyone on the deck looked at each other, the sailor who flattered him before was indeed more courageous than ordinary people, and he boldly asked the Overwatch Council officials beside him: "My lord, what is Mount Tai?"
The person he asked was Fan Xian's confidant Hong Changqing. Hong Changqing gave him a cold look and turned his face away.
A gust of wind blew up, and with a soft slap, a pair of bare feet stepped firmly on the deck. A young man in white single clothes let go of the rope in his hand, and yawned. A sailor beside him rushed over to reinstall the rope. tied up.
Fan Xian jumped off the top of the mast.
Looking at this scene, although I have seen it many times, many people on the deck are still dumbfounded. How high is this mast? How could Master Xiao Fan jump down so easily
Hong Changqing looked at Fan Xian with eyes filled with admiration. Everyone knows that Mr. Fan is a rare master in the world, but they really can't imagine that a real master is so powerful.
Someone brought the deck chair over, and Fan Xian lay down on it as if his bones were limp. He put his feet on the side of the boat, let the sea breeze wash his feet, and felt the sea breeze passing through his toes, like a lover's tenderness. Caressing gently, he sighed contentedly.
With his left hand holding the cup of wine produced in the inner library, he was slowly drinking, while his right hand gently pinched the broken skin of nuts and sent them to his lips. Fan Xian once again felt the same regret as he did on the mast. If Wan'er and Si It's good to be by your side.
"My lord," Hong Changqing stood beside him, hesitating to speak, but finally he couldn't hold back, and asked in a low voice, "What is Mount Tai?"
In this world, there are many famous mountains, but no one has ever heard of Mount Tai. Hong Changqing said softly, "Is it the secret order tonight?"
Fan Xian was stunned for a moment, couldn't help laughing, and cursed, "How can there be any Mount Tai? There is Mount Dong."
Suddenly, the sailors on the ship shouted loudly, with a hint of excitement in their words: "Dongshan has arrived!"
Fan Xian was startled, then got up immediately, and walked to the port side of the ship with the excited Overwatch Council officials, waiting for Dongshan to appear. At this moment, Fan Xian thought for no reason that in his previous life, when he was not sick, he had passed the Three Gorges by boat and was about to pass the Goddess Peak. Those passengers were also so excited.
It's just that that time the Goddess Peak was hidden in the clouds and rain in Wushan, and only the sleeping tent was seen moving, but the body of the Goddess could not be seen, which is a pity.
Fortunately, today's weather is fine and the sky is clean. Dongshan did not hide his face.
The big ship sailed northward for several miles, bypassed a beach covered with hidden reefs, and turned to the left with extreme painstaking efforts. All the people on board suddenly felt their eyes brighten. The big mountain stretching between heaven and earth filled everyone's eye sockets like this.
Big Dongshan!
This is a rocky mountain, which seems ordinary, but this rocky mountain is so big, I don’t know how many feet high, and on the side facing the sea, it is an extremely smooth stone wall, there is no trace of fine lines on the stone wall, it is as smooth as jade, It's as if a god once split the mountain with a magic sword!
Looking at this scene, Fan Xian gasped. Judging by his eyesight, this mountain is at least two thousand meters high. Why is there no section on this cliff facing the sea? Although he is a pig in geology, he also knows that this kind of wonder is too difficult to see.
Dadongshan is not big, but blindly high and steep, like a stone pillar, an extremely huge stone pillar.
In particular, the side facing the sea was already smooth, and the erosion of the sea wind for thousands of years did not make it loose, and there were no traces of animal activities. Even those rebellious giant birds could not nest on it.
Fan Xian squinted his eyes, thinking that this place is really wonderful, more beautiful... more amazing than the Western Mountain Stone Wall in Northern Qi Dynasty.
But on the side of Dadong Mountain facing the sea, there seems to be a lot of fertile soil attached, and lush forests grow and prosper on the mountain on that side, creating a green and dense appearance.
One side is green and the other side is white. The two sides of Dadongshan are dotted with such completely different colors, forming a very harmonious feeling, just like a piece of emerald that changes from green to pale, extremely beautiful.
…
…
Fan Xian couldn't help taking another breath. Of course he knew Dadongshan. In this world, there are two places called Dongshan. The Qing Temple has a sacrificial temple there, and some folk gods enjoy worship there, so it is somewhat famous.
And the other place is on the shore of the East China Sea, enjoying a great reputation in the whole world, Dadong Mountain.
The reason why Dadongshan is famous is first of all because of its wonderful structure and perfect scenery, and because this mountain produces the most perfect jade in the world. Fan Xian still remembered that when the Empress Dowager of the Northern Qi Dynasty was on her birthday a year ago, someone had paid tribute to the fine jade of Dadong Mountain. However, after the Northern Expedition of the Qing Dynasty destroyed this place, another Qing Temple was built on Dadong Mountain. Jade is mined, so Dongshan's jade is only in stock on the market now, and the price is getting more and more expensive.
And the third reason why Dadongshan is famous is the will of Emperor Qing. Today, the incense of the Qing Temple on Dadongshan has already surpassed that of the Qing Temple in Kyoto. I don't dare to go, but the Qing Temple in Dadongshan does not have this problem. On the other hand, it is said that the Qing Temple in Dadongshan is really mysterious. Many people who have no money to see a doctor will be blessed by the temple after going up the mountain to pray. If the body is seriously ill, it will heal without treatment.
Of the two Dongshan Mountains, the one on the seashore is of course bigger, more famous, and more magical, so everyone in the world knows the mountain in front of you as Dadongshan, and the one near Kyoto is called Xiaodongshan.
Although Fan Xian was a materialist in his previous life, he is a staunch idealist in this life. Looking at the stone wall of Dadongshan, he couldn't help squinting his eyes, and once again he felt the same feeling as when he first entered the Qing Temple. Is there really some dark power watching me in this world
Is it a temple
He subconsciously shook his head.
On the other side of Dadong Mountain, one can faintly see the mountain roads passing through the forest, like some thin threads, firmly condensing the thick green clothes on the naked body of Dadong Mountain.
Fan Xian's eyesight was excellent, so he could still see a black temple on the top of the Eastern Mountain, indifferently facing the sea below the cliff, and the rising sun directly ahead.
He smiled subconsciously, thinking that he would not have to practice climbing on this stone wall again in the future, would he? This difficulty is too high.
…
…
It didn't take long for Dadongshan to be thrown behind the ship and behind the heads of the people on board. Except for a few words of admiration, no one said anything more, and returned to their respective jobs.
However, Hong Changqing noticed that the imperial envoy seemed to be a little more silent than before, just sitting on the recliner in a daze.
A jumping monkey suddenly turned back into a thinking monkey, something must have happened.
But Hong Changqing didn't dare to ask, and just stood obediently behind Fan Xian, offering drinks and fruit snacks at any time.
"When will you arrive in Danzhou?" Fan Xian asked suddenly.
Hong Changqing was stunned for a moment, went to ask the school officer of the Navy, and replied, "Afternoon."
Fan Xian nodded and suddenly sighed.
Hong Changqing thought for a while, then asked hesitantly, "Why is your lord sighing?"
Now it was Fan Xian's turn to be stunned. He remained silent for a long time without replying, because he discovered a fact that was a little funny, but not so funny, and followed his confidants...whether it was Wang Qinian at the beginning, or Deng Ziyue and Su Wenmao later. , after being with me for a long time, it seems that they will all develop in the direction of flattery, although not everyone has the talent of Lao Wang.
For example, this sentence: "Why does your lord sigh?"
Is it very similar to the sentence: "Why is the lord laughing?"
Fan Xian smiled wryly, and only then did he understand the root cause of this matter. The reason why these confidantes took pleasure in it was not because of other things, but because they were the lords. Relieve your worries.
After thinking about it, it seems that Xiaoyan's temperament is different from ordinary people.
Fan Xian laughed, and followed Hong Changqing's words: "It's natural to feel timid when you're close to the country."
He has lived in Danzhou for sixteen years, and he has been away for more than two years. When he wants to go home suddenly, he always has some inexplicable emotions. Are the yellow flowers still rustling slightly? After I left, would anyone stand on the roof and yell that it was raining to collect their clothes? Has the dandy enemy I dreamed of since childhood appeared? … Dong’er, Dong’er, how is your tofu selling
Hong Changqing chuckled, but he didn't know what Mr. Tisi was afraid of. He thought that you are already an important minister of the court, and you are returning home as an imperial envoy. Worry
Fan Xian glanced at him and asked, "Is Quanzhou your hometown?"
"Yeah, native."
"Well, when you find a chance, let's go back and have a look."
"yes."
The two have different identities, so naturally they don't have much to talk about. After a moment of silence, Fan Xian said, "After going ashore, immediately go and get the hospital newspapers for the past few days."
When Hong Changqing heard that business was mentioned, his expression became serious, and he replied in a deep voice: "Yes."
At this moment, Fan Xian had already ended his days of leisurely excursions ahead of schedule, returned to the role he was supposed to play, and hid his monkey-like self again.
His thin lips were slightly pursed, and there was no superfluous expression on his handsome face.
"Send an order to Jiangnan, continue with all methods, but don't overdo it, everything will be discussed after I return from Kyoto in the next year."
"yes."
"You follow me. The seven people from Jiaozhou told them to go to Jiangnan to help Deng Ziyue."
"yes."
The eight Overwatch Council officials who made an appearance during the Jiaozhou Incident were all taken away by Fan Xian, because the methods used to handle the Jiaozhou Incident were relatively rough, and the military did not clear them up in a day, Fan Xian was not willing to let his subordinates take this kind of risk. The nephew of the old Qin family has already taken over the Jiaozhou Navy. How to deal with the more than 1,000 officers and soldiers who participated in the incident and how to eliminate them without causing a big commotion is something that the old Qin family needs to consider. Don't worry about it anymore.
He was just worried about his protégé Hou Jichang. Ji Chang had contributed a lot to the smuggling of the Jiaozhou navy. The problem was that Fan Xian still had to put him in Jiaozhou. When the imperial court's commendation order arrived in the next year, Ji Chang would definitely do it. He was promoted, and there is Wu Gefei in Jiaozhou, that smart person should know how to deal with it.
As for that... Xu Maocai... Fan Xian smiled slightly, let him continue to bury it, maybe it will be useful someday.
Finding that Master Tisi was lost in thought again, Hong Changqing didn't dare to disturb him, and waited quietly on the side. Fan Xian suddenly asked, "Are you in a hurry to wipe out the Ming family?"
Ever since Hong Changqing survived on the small island, he has been trapped in a nightmare of a similar scene. At this moment, he suddenly heard Mr. Tisi revealing his deepest thoughts, and his face became terrified, and he knelt down: "Your Majesty, don't you?" Dare to disturb the adults' plans."
Fan Xian said with a smile: "Ming family... It won't be a few days."
It took so much time and energy to go to the south of the Yangtze River. Although it seemed that the Ming family was still lingering, Fan Xian knew that after spending such a huge price, he had already put a rope on the Ming family, just like Ming Qing. The one Darth put on around his mother's neck.
The old lady Ming is dead, the rope just needs to be tightened later, the Ming family will die, just see when Fan Xian has time to tighten it. Ming Qingcheng, Fourth Master, Merchants, Internal Treasury... Fan Xian is very satisfied with his results.
…
…
In the afternoon, when the big ship went around a silver-sand-like bay, you could see a not-so-busy harbor from a distance. There were seagulls flying up and down around the harbor. Under the golden wave, there is a hidden jade stream, which should be a school of fish.
Looking at those seagulls, Hong Changqing couldn't help but frowned in disgust.
Fan Xian stood up, looked at the officials at the harbor who were ready to welcome him, and the black knights who had arrived in Danzhou ahead of time, and couldn't help laughing.
The state has arrived, and life at sea is over. At this moment, Fan Xian has double nostalgia and double sighs.
