The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

These few days, for Zhang Yi, are really the happiest days he can feel since he was born. , especially pleased him.

Of course, the so-called some people are happy and some are worried is just such a sentence. Since Zhang Yi is happy, then other people may not be so happy. For example, Fang Yueling, she will not be happy. What Zhang Yiqian showed every day was a smiling face, and after two days, Fang Yueling gradually got used to it, and the smile on her face became much more natural. Very happy in general, and will not make people see any reluctance. Of course, this is one of the reasons why Zhang Yi is so happy now.

However, you must know that for Fang Yueling, the more she looks like this on her face, the more uncomfortable she feels in her heart. For Fang Yueling, every time she sees Zhang Yi during the day, she may still be able to temporarily Forget about those annoying things, and just focus on making Zhang Yi feel good now, but when the day passes, she will think of the scene after Zhang Yi left with her father. Maybe this is nothing, but when she thinks, She didn't know how long it would take to see her child, and Fang Yueling couldn't stand it anymore. Therefore, during this period of time, Fang Yueling was not only sad, but also haggard.

As for Fang Yueling's changes, Zhang Fan could see all of them, but for Zhang Fan, even though he could see all of them, he couldn't do anything, even verbal and physical comfort. Maybe Fang Yueling could temporarily forget the pain, but when she got together the next morning, Fang Yueling would start again.

Therefore, Zhang Fan can see Fang Yueling's appearance now, but his heart is in great pain, but he can't do anything, he can only watch helplessly, unable to do anything, this kind of powerlessness This is not the first time Zhang Fan has tasted this feeling, but this feeling is really too annoying, but there is nothing he can do about it.

And obviously, no matter how much he thought about it, this matter seemed to be the only way to go.

As the days passed, the smile on Fang Yueling's face became more and more natural, and at the same time, Fang Yueling's heart became more and more sad, because she knew that day was getting closer.

And no matter what, the days are getting closer day by day, and one day will come, no matter how unwilling Fang Yueling is, time cannot stand still for her, so, in Fang Yueling's very unwilling situation Next, in the end, the day she least expected to see also arrived. Fang Zhenqian arrived in the capital.

Maybe Fang Zhenqian did it on purpose. Zhang Fan received the news that Fang Zhenqian was coming to the capital. It was actually a month ago. Although it took a month to travel from Sichuan to the capital, this is really normal. , However, this standard is only for ordinary people, but for someone like Fang Zhenqian who has martial arts and is still eager to come, it will not take a month at all, and it will definitely be reached in half a month.

Therefore, Zhang Fan will say that Fang Zhenqian slowed down on purpose, and Fang Zhenqian understands that if he moves, Zhang Fan will receive a message, or in other words, Fang Zhenqian also understands that his daughter can't let her go. So, son, Fang Zhenqian intends to release the news in advance, so that they can know, so it can be regarded as giving them more time.

It's just that, honestly speaking, Zhang Fan couldn't be moved by this kind of concern. If possible, he really didn't need this kind of concern.

As for Zhang Fan, after all, this matter is of great concern to him, so the news of Fang Zhenqian's journey, including where he has been, where he has settled, and when he left, Zhang Fan makes the people below pay special attention to it. In addition, Fang Zhenqian obviously didn't intend to hide it on purpose, so he just told Zhang Fan about his itinerary.

Therefore, Zhang Fan was clear about Fang Zhengan's itinerary. Naturally, Zhang Fan was also clear about when Fang Zhengan would arrive in the capital.

In comparison, although Fang Yueling didn't know when her father would arrive, although this kind of ignorance made her a little uneasy, it also made her cherish the time she was with Zhang Yi even more.

As far as Zhang Fan is concerned, although he knows Fang Zhenqian's itinerary, even when Fang Zhenqian is only halfway there, Zhang Fan almost knows when he will arrive in the capital, but this kind of knowledge is not just for Zhang Fan. It's a good thing. At the very least, Zhang Fan knows when Fang Zhengan will come back, which means that Zhang Fan knows when trouble will come.

Therefore, compared to Fang Yueling's anxiety of not knowing when it will happen, Zhang Fan's feeling of knowing when something will happen is even more uncomfortable.

Of course, fortunately, Zhang Fan has more or less figured out this matter now, Zhang Fan has already figured it out, let Zhang Yi go, although as parents, he and Fang Yueling want to see him in the future, then These are all quite difficult things, but as long as this matter is for the benefit of the child, then it will be done like this. Therefore, Zhang Fan is also relying on this kind of thinking, and there is no need to think too much about it now. If not, Just thinking about this matter, knowing when Fang Zhengan would come to pick up the child, Zhang Fan would have to suffer to death.

But now, after so many days, no matter how much Fang Zhenqian procrastinated, he would eventually arrive, and when he arrived in the capital, no matter how much they thought about it, this was the only way to go.

That morning, Zhang Fan heard the people below report that Fang Zhenqian had already arrived in the capital.

In fact, Zhang Fan heard the news yesterday and knew that Fang Zhenqian had already arrived, and no matter how he looked at it, he could arrive today. Therefore, Zhang Fan should have been prepared for a long time, but even so, when Today he did invite the news that Fang Zhenqian had come to the capital, but there was still a little panic for a while, but this panic didn't last long. It's better to be open-minded than to hide, because things will happen anyway, so if this is the case, then simply be more open and let go.

Zhang Fan, who heard the news, got up immediately and took people to the city gate to meet Fang Zhenqian. Although Zhang Fan said that Fang Zhengan was not welcome from the bottom of his heart, since everyone had already arrived, the courtesy was still the same. to speak.

Over the past few years, although Zhang Fan has been communicating with the Five Poison Sect through Jinyiwei, and even Fang Zhenqian, he has not infrequently communicated with him through letters. No one mentioned the issue of Zhang Yi in the letter. Of course, Zhang Fan has never met Fang Zhenqian in the past few years. First, he himself is very busy and has no time. Second, Fang Zhenqian is also very busy. .

After so many years, the Five Poisons Sect is really not what it used to be. Back then, when it first cooperated with Jin Yiwei, the territory of the Five Poisons Sect expanded a lot. In the past few years, compared with when it first started, The territory of the Five Poison Sect has not increased much, only a small part, but over the past few years, under Fang Zhenqian's management, the Five Poison Sect has become more deeply rooted.

Obviously, Fang Zhenqian is not a person who only wants to be happy for a while. He understands that if he wants to last for a long time, it is useless just to have a large territory. Changed the method, he was not in a hurry to annex those other gangs, but instead slowly absorbed the gangs that are now under the Five Poison Sect, although externally speaking, these gangs just joined Under the banner of the Five Poison Sect, there has been no change in itself, but in fact, after so many years of hard work, these schools still maintain the original martial arts sect on the surface, but in fact, they are people who have been completely suppressed by Fang Zhen Hold on.

If Fang Zhenqian gave an order now, then all these sects would change their surnames immediately. Of course, Fang Zhenqian does not intend to do this now.

This was actually the idea Zhang Fan gave him. Of course, it was Fang Zhenqian's own plan to let his own people control these sects in secret. It was a bit difficult, so Fang Zhenqian had to rely on Jin Yiwei's strength, and as long as he relied on Jin Yiwei's strength, Zhang Fan would know about it.

Zhang Fan didn't think there was any problem with this matter. Although Fang Zhenqian's actions would make the Five Poison Sect stronger and as firm as a rock, Zhang Fan was not worried about the Five Poison Sect.

Originally, Fang Zhenqian planned to make all these sects belong to the Five Poison Sect, but this time, it was Zhang Fan who made Fang Zhenqian slow down.

It's not that Zhang Fan is wary or worried about this, so he did this. He has already made it very clear before that this matter, no matter how powerful Fang Zhenqian made the Five Poisons Sect, no matter how strong it is or how large it is. No matter how big it is, it is of no use to Zhang Fan. Not only how the Five Poison Sect develops, but it is still just a Jianghu gang, and as long as it is a Jianghu gang, there is no threat. Perhaps, in troubled times It's hard to say, but for today's Ming Dynasty, it is useless, let alone the court, even Jinyiwei can do whatever it wants with it.

Therefore, Zhang Fan was not worried about any problems at all, not to mention that the foundation of the Five Poison Sect would also be handed over to his son in the future, so Zhang Fan also became concerned.

Therefore, after seeing Fang Zhenqian's plan, Zhang Fan also proposed some things that could help him.

One of them was Fang Zhenqian's idea of ​​annexing these sects and bringing them all under the banner of the Five Poison Sect, which was rejected by Zhang Fan.

It's not that Zhang Fan thinks it's bad to do so, Zhang Fan even understands in his heart that this is inevitable. If these sects are just like this, even though Fang Zhenqian has indeed made the core of these sects into the core of these sects. The Five Poisons are very loyal people, but this is only when Fang Zhenqian.

What about the future, what will happen in the future, I don’t even know when I sleep, needless to say the far ones, let’s talk about the near ones, in the future, after Zhang Yi ascends to the position of leader of the Five Poison Sect, and after Fang Zhenqian grows old, these sects will continue to grow old. No one can say whether they are so obedient now, so it is inevitable to annex these sects, whether it is from the lessons of history or from the consideration of the future, it is necessary to do so.

However, although this is necessary, it is not now. If it is done now, it will be troublesome. Those sects on the rivers and lakes also follow Jin Yiwei's orders, but if the Five Poison Sect starts to do this now, it will definitely cause opposition from these sects, and it will be another trouble at that time, although Zhang Fan can make peace This is troublesome, but he doesn't want to be so troublesome, and if things go too fast, something will go wrong, something will be unstable, so Zhang Fan asked Fang Zhenqian to slow down this step.

Now, lay a good foundation first. Although these sects are now completely obeying Fang Zhenqian's words, Zhang Fan told him that the deeper the foundation is laid, the better. In the future, if these sects are to be annexed, But it can't be done in one go, but it has to be done slowly, bit by bit, not impatient, it is best to let this happen, for those people, although they don't want to, but they also know that there is no way Things, let them accept helplessly.

This is a digression. In short, this year, Zhang Fan and Fang Zhenqian have been exchanging letters, but they have never met each other.

However, after so many years, Zhang Fan saw Fang Zhenqian again, and was surprised to find that Fang Zhenqian really hadn't changed at all.

If there is no change, then the same is true for Zhang Fan. He has not changed at all over the past few years. Although the change in temperament is indeed very obvious, at least in appearance, he really looks the same as he did a few years ago. exactly the same.

However, after all, Zhang Fan is young, and he is only in his 30s now, and his life is very easy now, so it is not surprising that he can maintain this.

But for Fang Zhenqian, this is completely different. You must know that Fang Zhenqian is now in his 60s. People in their 60s, no matter what they are, should be able to tell that they are old , even if Fang Zhenqian practiced martial arts, his insides were extremely high, and his skills were extraordinary, but it shouldn't be like this.

But in fact, when Zhang Fan saw Fang Zhenqian again this time, after so many years, the years also did not leave any traces on Fang Zhenqian's face.

Zhang Fan still remembers that when he met Fang Zhenqian for the first time, at that time, Fang Zhenqian was imprisoned for several years, all relying on years of martial arts practice to survive, but although he survived And when Zhang Fan saw him, he was like an old man on the verge of death, as if he was an octogenarian.

After that, when Fang Zhenqian gradually recovered his skills, it was completely different. He looked like a mature man of more than 40 years.

To be honest, Zhang Fan was already very surprised that Fang Zhenqian could do this at that time.

And now, after so many years, Fang Zhenqian is still the same as the last time Zhang Fan saw him. No, for Zhang Fan, apart from the weak appearance of Fang Zhenqian when he saw Fang Zhenqian for the first time, the impression Fang Zhenqian gave him afterward was all the same. It was the same face, completely unchanged.

And this also made Zhang Fan couldn't help but sigh a lot.

If, in another 20 years, when Fang Zhenqian is ten years old, if he is still alive and still looks like this, Zhang Fan will not know how to face someone younger than himself... …

Thinking of this, Zhang Fan quickly stopped and didn't think about it any further.

Speaking of which, Fang Zhenqian's face has not changed at all, but at the same time, his temperament has also changed a lot.

Back then, Zhang Fan still remembered very clearly that Fang Zhenqian's hostility was very heavy. Even after being imprisoned for so many years, his temper was not hidden. Hearing Fang Yueling's words, it was even worse than before. But now, Fang Zhengan This kind of temperament, just from his appearance, it is obvious that he is much calmer.

Perhaps it is because the development of the Five Poison Sect is very good now, and it has passed the period of rapid expansion in the early days, but now it is time to stabilize, so Fang Zhenqian's temperament has also changed a lot, and it is not the same as before. She showed her sharpness as before, but became much calmer.

To be honest, this is also something that makes Zhang Fan feel at ease. After all, Zhang Yi will be there in the future, and if the original Fang Zhenqian, Zhang Fan is really worried, but if it is the current Fang Zhenqian , Zhang Fan felt that he was more or less more at ease than before.

"Master Zhang, I haven't seen you for so many years." Fang Zhenqian came up to say hello first. Over the past few years, not only his face, but even his voice has not changed much.

"The same is true of Master Fang," Zhang Fan replied, "After so many years, Master Fang still looks the same as before. It seems that this martial arts practitioner is really extraordinary, and I am very envious."

"If Mr. Zhang wants to, then there is nothing wrong with it," Fang Zhenqian said, "Although Mr. Zhang is not young, he may not be very good at practicing martial arts now, but it is not difficult if he wants to do so."

"Thank you, Master Fang, for your kindness on this matter," Zhang Fan smiled, and said, "Please go home, everything is ready."
