The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

"How is it?" Zhang Fan asked Wang Meng, "What do people from the Five Poison Sect think about this alliance?"

"There are many theories," Wang Meng replied, "After our brothers came, we started to inquire about it when we had lunch with them. I heard from the brothers, but I don't know if it was explained by the people from the Five Poison Sect. , or for some other reason, in short, during the meal, these people were very friendly to our people, toasting together, and still talking and laughing, there is no hostility at all, I think this is probably the Five Poisons religion The people above have explained it, otherwise, even if our Jianghu sect in the Central Plains, our people would never be so friendly, there must be one or two unhappy people.

"And after dinner, in the afternoon, they arranged for our people to live in various homes. Most of them were male disciples who had not yet married, and there were only a few elderly people in the family. They lived in a few more, and the rest took care of their families. Yes, try not to go if you can, and live with only one person at most.

"It was quite busy at that time, and there were a lot of people, so our people also took advantage of that opportunity to inquire about it, but they also inquired about some news. After inquiring about it, it turned out to be similar to what the humble official thought. His friendly appearance was definitely given by the people above the Five Poison Sect.

"These people are just as Ruotong and we expected about the alliance this time. Some people agree with it, and some people oppose it. In comparison, it's about five or five people. The reasons for those who agree are the same. They say they are five poisons. After the sect forms an alliance with us, it will naturally grow stronger, and in the future, when the people in their sect walk on the rivers and lakes, they will not be afraid of anything.

"As for those who oppose, there are some reasons. They feel that once the Five Poison Sect forms an alliance with us, they will be controlled by us. In the future, they will do whatever we ask them to do. There is no freedom to speak of. Well, among those who objected, it was not just for this reason, some people said... that the reason why we formed an alliance with the Five Poison Sect was all because of Fang Yueling, "

What Wang Meng said before, Zhang Fan naturally expected it long ago. After all, such a major event, at such a time, naturally some people would think so, but Wang Meng then said that among those who opposed, Feeling that the incident this time had something to do with Fang Yueling, Zhang Fan couldn't figure it out, so he couldn't help but ask, "How did you say that?"

"They said..." Wang Meng hesitated a little, looked at Zhang Fan, and even looked at the empty room before he said, "What they mean is that although the Five Poison Sect is very popular in the Jianghu Famous, unique, and there are not many people in the Jianghu who dare to blatantly provoke them, but compared to our Jinyiwei, they are only a Jianghu sect after all, and the total number of disciples in the sect is only a hundred.

"And the reason why we form an alliance with them is all because of Fang Yueling. It is said that...it is because the adults have taken a fancy to Fang Yueling, that's why we want to form an alliance. The purpose is to get Fang Yueling,"

"Tell me, someone from the Five Poisons Sect said that," Zhang Fan was a little surprised after hearing what Wang Meng said, but the next thing was funny, "I said that I agreed to form an alliance because I wanted Fang Yueling."

"That's right," Wang Meng nodded, "I also heard from the brothers below that there were not too many people who thought this way, but I heard that some of them seem to be spreading the news in the past two days. People, there are more and more people talking about this matter, and many people who didn't think so before began to believe what they said."

"Besides, when we came in before, the adults and Fang Yueling were the ones who walked in front, and the humble officials were behind. We couldn't see your appearance, we could only hear your voices. However, our brothers heard what people from the Five Poisons Sect said. ... Said that my lord and Fang Yueling were chatting and laughing, that Fang Yueling, who didn't talk much on weekdays, talked so much with my lord along the way, saying... that you two are in love with each other , In this way, there will be many more people who believe in saying so, "

"..." Wang Meng's words made Zhang Fan silent. No, it can't be said to be silent, but Zhang Fan didn't know what to say for a while.

Zhang Fan also thought about it for a while, and it seems that this was indeed the case. When he came in, he and Fang Yueling were indeed walking in front side by side. Moreover, although Fang Yueling was covered with a veil, others I couldn't see her appearance, but she could clearly see the expression on her face when she turned her head to talk to Zhang Fan. The most important thing was that Zhang Fan was talking and laughing with Fang Yueling, although Zhang Fan knew it best. Yes, the so-called talking and laughing is just a kind of politeness. Now that the alliance is imminent, I can't meet with each other and talk to each other with a straight face, but unfortunately, this kind of polite smile , but it was understood as such a meaning, which made Zhang Fan feel like he didn't know what to say.

As for Wang Meng, he could also understand some of Zhang Fan's thoughts after hearing these words, so now he just covered his head and didn't speak much, all he was waiting for Zhang Fan.

This depressed feeling slowly subsided, and Zhang Fan thought about it again, and then he discovered the problem: "It's not right to say that, even if what they said is true, I really like it." When I went to Fang Yueling, I agreed to form an alliance with the Five Poison Sect because I wanted to get her. It should be a good thing, after all, with the support of our Jin Yiwei in the future, they will not be afraid of anyone in the Jianghu.

"However, how do I hear what you mean, that's why they objected,"

"The humble position is not wrong," Wang Meng nodded and explained, "The reason why these people say this is that they think that if the Five Poison Sect forms an alliance with us in the future, it will become stronger, but they all think that It is obtained by selling women. Although people here can do almost anything to achieve their goals when they are in the arena, it seems that people here are not so easy to accept this kind of thing. , Therefore, although they feel that the alliance can bring them benefits, they are not too much in favor of the alliance, and even most of them are against it,"

It turns out that this is the case, Wang Meng's answer made Zhang Fan completely understand that the root of the objection came from the boring self-esteem in these people's hearts.

However, regardless of whether it is boring or not, Zhang Fan also finds this kind of thing a little strange, why is it so good, someone in the Five Poisons Sect will spread this kind of news, and from what Wang Meng said, the people here seem to be very interested in this kind of thing. It is very disgusting, that is to say, those who spread such words do not want the alliance to succeed this time.

In this way, it will be difficult to find the person who spread the words. After all, Zhang Fan knows only this person, or these people, who do not want the alliance to succeed this time, and this or these people must be Among the few members of the upper echelons of the Five Poisons Sect.

However, among the upper echelons of the Five Poison Sect, there are many people who do not want the alliance to succeed this time. In fact, after careful calculation, except for Fang Zhengan, almost everyone else is against it. Even Fang Yueling, Fang Zhenqian's daughter, although she wanted to agree with her father on the surface, she was actually opposed to the alliance, otherwise she would not have come to Zhang Fan to say such a thing before, and the others, too. Each has its own reasons, but in summary, it is just a power struggle among the Five Poison Sects.

It's just that Zhang Fan doesn't care about these things now. What he cares about is what Wang Meng told him just now, that the alliance this time has something to do with the affairs between Fang Yueling and him.

Before, Zhang Fan and the others had thought of similar situations, and thought that some people in the Five Poison Sect might think so, but now, the situation has indeed happened, not only some people think this way, but these people also spread the words , wanting to rely on many disciples of the Five Poison Sect to prevent this alliance.

Speaking of which, the reason why this matter happened is that Fang Zhenqian said to Zhang Fan at the beginning. He wanted Fang Yueling to marry Zhang Fan, but Zhang Fan had already rejected it. Fan had agreed to form an alliance, but he didn't agree to Fang Yueling either.

In this way, Zhang Fan would consider this matter in this way.

And now, among the Five Poisons Sect, some people have begun to spread it like this, that is to say, some people do think so.

"It seems that the people in the Five Poisons Sect really don't want to form an alliance. Now they are using all kinds of methods..." Zhang Fan couldn't help laughing when he thought of this. It has stopped, and his face has changed.

Seeing Zhang Fan's expression changed, Wang Meng understood that Zhang Fan must have thought of something, and couldn't help asking: "My lord, is there something wrong?"

"I suspect that this news was not spread by those who want to oppose this alliance," Zhang Fan said with a sullen face.

"No," Wang Meng didn't understand what Zhang Fan meant for a while.

"Yes, no," Zhang Fan nodded, "On the contrary, this news is intentionally said by those who want the alliance to succeed this time," Zhang Fan said, although he did not name them. Who is it, but the words are already very clear. Now among the Five Poison Sects, there is only one person who wants to make an alliance successfully this time, and that is Fang Zhenqian.

"This..." At this moment, even Wang Meng was completely confused by Zhang Fan's words, "My lord, what is going on here?"

"You may not understand, but when it comes to people who want to form an alliance successfully, you must know that there is only one person," Zhang Fan said in a low voice, "Yes, there is only Fang Zhengan Will do this kind of thing, absolutely not wrong, it is him, "
