The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

"Your Excellency, I asked you for the purpose of practicing martial arts." Hearing that Zhang Fan asked himself such a question, such a conceptual thing, rather than a practical question, Zhao Zijie felt a little strange, no , not only was it strange, it even made him feel a little inappropriate.

Indeed, as Zhang Fan analyzed before, Zhao Zijie is indeed very talented in making eyeliner, but after all, he is relatively young and lacks experience. Zhao Zijie is like this now, although he has always been wary of Zhang Fan, even when Zhang Fan took him to this small pavilion and talked about someone During the rendezvous, Zhao Zijie once wondered if Zhang Fan already knew something.

However, doubt is doubt. As long as there is no certainty, everything is unknown. It is precisely because of this that after Zhang Fan said something, Zhao Zijie was also unable to distinguish clearly whether it was the other party because of his lack of experience. Fudged his own tricks, which caused his original suspicion and wariness towards Zhang Fan to disappear for a while. Of course, he can figure it out later, but at least for now, he has nothing to do with Zhang Fan. Where the hostility is gone.

However, no matter what the reason is, whether it is from Zhao Zijie's point of view or from the point of view of a bystander, Zhang Fan is the first to ask such a question, this is indeed no one has thought of .

As for Zhao Zijie, it didn't mean that he couldn't answer it, it was because he couldn't figure out Zhang Fan's question for a while, and didn't come back to his senses.

"What's the matter, Zijie?" Zhang Fan looked confused, as if he had done nothing wrong at all, looked at Zhao Zijie, and asked in a suspicious tone, "Is it strange that I asked something?" problem, or you have something unspeakable to hide, "

"No, no, my lord misunderstood." Zhao Zijie quickly came back to his senses, waved his hands and said, "I have nothing to hide, but I have been thinking about what my lord said just now, and I have some feelings, and I didn't come to my senses for a while. That's all, it's just...it's just that what your lord said before was really thought-provoking, but the things you asked afterward, honestly speaking, are not hard to answer, it's just that it's really hard to say, "

"Oh, Zijie doesn't have to be like this," Zhang Fan shook his head and said, "Everyone's original intention is different, no matter how childish the original intention is, but as long as you can achieve something in the future, you don't have to hide it. I'm more curious, but if it's really inconvenient for Zijie to say it, I won't impose it on others."

"No, my lord, there is nothing bad to say," Zhao Zijie said, "Speaking of which, my original intention of practicing martial arts was indeed just like what my lord said. At that time, I was young and ignorant, and I felt that this reason was indeed sufficient, but now that I think about it , I think it’s funny, but to be honest, my parents are both dead, relying on the little savings left at home, and the care of the housekeeper at home, this is the only way I didn’t starve to death.”

"This... I'm really sorry," Zhang Fan said sadly.

"Oh, you don't have to be like this," Zhao Zijie said, "I heard from the housekeeper at home that the parents at home encountered bad people when they went out one day, and they all died. But at that time, I was just born and didn't understand anything. After I grew up, knowing that my parents were killed, I also felt sad in my heart, but after all, I have never met my parents, and I don’t know what they look like. I can only say that I am not filial, but it is not. I don't feel too uncomfortable.

"In short, when I was young, I had no father and no mother, and I had some money at home. I relied on a kind housekeeper to support me. This is how I survived. However, the memories of that time were really uncomfortable. No matter whether you go out to play handsome, or go to school, you are always bullied by others, not to mention verbal bullying, plus I have not been a strong body since I was a child, even if I feel bad words from others and want to take a lesson, but in the end Those who are beaten to the ground will always be the next.

"So I thought at the time, if I could be stronger, I'm afraid I wouldn't have suffered this kind of thing, even if others could use these things to insult me, but under my fist, even if there is resentment in my heart, I have to give in to this, this is my original intention of wanting to practice martial arts, now that I’m talking about it, my thoughts are not only too selfish, but also extremely violent, it’s really not a glorious thing.”

"Zijie doesn't need to be like this," Zhang Fan said, "Who doesn't have such an experience? There are not a few people in the world who have experienced Zijie like this. But even if these people have resentment in their hearts, even if they want to become stronger in their hearts, But how many people are able to turn a wish in their hearts into reality like Zijie, and now, they are even able to achieve such achievements as Zijie, "

"Master Zhang is really flattering me too much," Zhao Zijie said, still waving his hands, "Hearing what Master Zhang said, I feel that I have become different, but Master Zhang's words can't be fooled." I know who I am in my heart, but in the end, I am only for myself, I want to live a better life for myself, and I don’t want myself to be bullied by others in the future, but I have not abused it for my own selfish desires It's just force."

"That's not flattering words," Zhang Fan said, shaking his head, "Although Zijie said these words very easily now, and even I listened to them like this, I felt it was a matter of course, but I Yes, I understand that it is definitely not just that simple. Most of the things in the world are easier said than done, but like Zijie, after becoming an artist, he has a skill and feels that he is better than others. It’s really not easy to be able to control one’s own heart and not to be competitive,” Zhang Fan’s words were completely nonsense, and if Zhao Zijie wasn’t a person who knows how to use tricks, he wouldn’t be able to come here Why is the Prince of Shu's mansion eyeliner? Similarly, if Zhao Zijie hadn't been a bully, he would never have threatened the third concubine.

However, Zhang Fan would say that, of course it was not without purpose. Now that he was so angry, he said such a thing, even if Zhang Fan and Zhao Zijie knew that what he said was wrong, he would still accept it .

Secondly, Zhang Fan is deliberately showing Zhao Zijie a weak look, making him feel that he has completely misunderstood him. Maybe he will not have any thoughts when Zhao Zijie also agrees with Zhang Fan's words, but When Zhao Zijie went back and thought about what happened now, he would naturally feel that Zhang Fan had completely misunderstood him. In this way, he would be able to let go of his guard. At the very least, he would not feel that Zhang Fan was right here. He is a threat.

"I can't say anything to my lord," but at this time, Zhao Zijie put on a look of helplessness and said, "Since my lord said so, I have no choice but to accept it brazenly."

"Zijie is really humble," Zhang Fan said with a smile. However, although what Zhao Zijie said sounds like a fabricated storyline, to be honest, Zhang Fan doesn't think he is lying to him. , it’s not because of disrespect to his parents and the morality of cursing them to death in order to hide his past. In fact, Zhang Fan doesn’t think it’s necessary for Zhao Zijie to deceive himself about this kind of thing, but speaking of it, no matter what Whether what he said is true or not, I am afraid it will be very difficult to find out, either it is true as he said, and his parents died early; or the truth is buried and there is no trace at all. That being said, it doesn't matter for now.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Fan continued to ask: "But speaking of it, Zijie's martial arts is very good, I think. Jie was able to enter the inner courtyard of the palace as a guard at such a young age, and he was also highly appreciated by the prince. His martial arts must be extraordinary. I don't know what school Zijie came from.

"Speaking of which, although I don't know much about martial arts, I do know a lot about things in the Jianghu. You can understand it when you think about it. Among the Jinyiwei, these things can't be hidden from us. Maybe Zijie I have also heard of the master's inheritance, so I may not know."

"I'm afraid this will disappoint you," Zhao Zijie said, "It is true that nowadays, no matter whether it is in the Jianghu or in the imperial court, those famous and skilled people are all from famous schools and worshiped in various schools. A master means that his family background has a lot of roots, which Zijie can't compare to at all.

"If you really want to talk about it, the person I'm studying as a teacher, let alone a sect, I have studied under my master for nearly ten years, but no one even knows the name of the master, and my master has never mentioned it to me. Where did he come from, but what is the origin, it sounds like I think this is a lie to your lord, but it is true, "

"Hey, there's nothing to lie about, I believe in Zijie," Zhang Fan said, looking at him with the same eyes that I believe in you, and said, "If we talk about the past, I don't think so." I believe it, but now I won’t, maybe Zijie doesn’t know yet, that Wang Meng, yes, is the one that Zijie has seen before, who was named the ‘No. It's exactly the same as Zijie's experience, and he has no family or sect, let alone a master, the two of them are still in the army together."

I don't know if it's true or not, but Zhang Fan seems to have found another topic that is similar to Zhao Zijie's.
