Chapter 417 Your Father
"You are an old man who hangs out in brothels all day, and you have the nerve to criticize me?" Fang Weihan sneered, "The money you donated to the brothel ladies could probably buy ten three-story houses in Tianjie, right?"

"That's complete nonsense. How can there be so much?" Fang Xun immediately denied. "I, your second uncle, have never seen so much silver in my life. Do you think everyone is your fiancée?"

Fang Weihan picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of sliced ​​beef and put it in his mouth, took a sip of wine, and said:
"Tell me, Lord Luo? How did you deceive me?"

"You are as dumb as a pig, do you still need to lie?" Fang Xun said disdainfully, "I gave you so many hints, but I didn't expect you still didn't see it."

Fang Weihan: "?"

Naturally, he had no scruples when talking to his second uncle. The old man was usually nonchalant, just like a grown-up gangster.

"Aren't you talking nonsense?" Fang Weihan asked indignantly, "When did you ever give me a hint?"

"There are many clues, but the most obvious one is the face of me, your second uncle." Fang Xun pointed to his own face.

"What's wrong with your face?" Fang Weihan was puzzled.

"I am so handsome, do you think I can be a weak mortal?" Fang Xun said.

Fang Weihan raised his glass: "When it comes to shamelessness, you are still more powerful, Second Uncle."

"That's right." Fang Xun was proud.

The two clinked glasses, and Fang Weihan took the wine jar and filled it up.

"I remember I have met Luo Tiangang, but he doesn't look like you." Fang Weihan said.

That time, he and Tao Yunjiang were eating wontons at Zhang Xuan's wonton stall, and they happened to meet Xiao Fuwei and Luo Tiangang going to Jincheng County to suppress bandits. They watched them from afar.

In Fang Weihan's impression, Luo Tiangang was clearly a middle-aged Taoist with an immortal demeanor, not the suave middle-aged playboy like his second uncle.

Fang Xun took out a small seal and slapped it on the table.

"What is this?" Fang Weihan asked.

"The Mermaid Seal." Fang Xun said calmly, "It was made by Yun Kaifeng who collected the essence of the mermaids from the East China Sea. It contains the mermaid mimicry law and can disguise itself as an inherent image."

"So you are pretending to be like this?"

"Of course not." Fang Xun looked at him in surprise. "Luo Tiangang is just pretending. This handsome guy must be my real self."

"You have a good relationship with Yun Kaifeng's people?" Fang Weihan asked curiously.

Both the Moon-lit Reed Flower and the Mermaid Seal were rare treasures. Unless one was a core cultivator of the Xiaoyao Sect, one obviously could not possess such treasures.

"It's okay. I have some friendship with Ouyang Yuan, the master of Yunkai Peak." Fang Xun said casually while eating.

"What kind of friendship? It can't be that you have fought with guns in a brothel together?" Fang Weihan asked with a smile.

Fang Xun glanced at him but said nothing.

Fang Weihan; "..."

Damn it, I've heard that the people of Xiaoyao Sect behave in a bohemian manner, which really lives up to the word "Xiaoyao" in their name.

"Since you are the elder of Xiaoyao Sect, doesn't that mean that Xiaoyao Sect is actually on our side?" Fang Weihan asked.

"You're overthinking. If Xiaoyao Sect stood on our side, the pressure on His Majesty wouldn't be so great." Fang Xun shook his head and put down his chopsticks. "With a dozen rank six cultivators and hundreds of rank five cultivators appearing out of nowhere, I'm afraid the Wang family of Shangyuan won't be able to sleep well."

"Dongzhou is isolated overseas, and there are dozens of miles of ocean between it and the easternmost part of Qingzhou. They don't care about what's happening in the Central Plains. Between the choice of imperial power and the aristocratic families, the nine peaks of Yunjian each have their own preferences, and the overall situation is evenly divided. It's good enough to keep them neutral, and asking them to interfere in the affairs of the Great Zhou... I'm afraid it's a bit difficult."

"Moreover, Xiaoyao Sect has not focused its main energy on this recently. They have more important things to do." Fang Xun said.

"Siren?" Fang Weihan asked.

"Smart." Fang Xun said, "With the revival of Tianming, Guixu's security has been raised to the maximum. The sea tribes under the East China Sea will probably take this opportunity to gather again to attack the Middle Earth, and the Xiaoyao Sect of Dongzhou will be their first target."

"Is the Siren very powerful?"

Fang Weihan knew almost nothing about this matter. After all, the Xiaoyao Sect was almost across the entire Great Zhou from Changming where he lived, and the distance was really too far.

"Not very strong. Even the so-called sea dragons only have the equivalent of a fifth-level cultivation. But there are too many of them, and Xiaoyao Sect is an elite sect, with no more than a thousand disciples."

Fang Xun took a sip of wine and said:
"Qi control is the path that is least good at defense, and it is extremely difficult to cultivate. One death means one less. Even if we can fight one against a thousand, as long as he dies, it will be a gain for the sea tribe."

Fang Weihan deeply agreed with this and could only say that this was how controlling Qi was done.

They don't have Mingwu's deep blood armor, nor do they have the various elemental barriers of the Five Elements. All the cultivation methods passed down by the pioneers of controlling Qi will not teach these sword immortals how to defend themselves. After reading the whole article, there is only one word:

kill.

As the saying goes, if you kill fast enough, the enemy will have no room to attack.

According to legend, the founder of the Yuqi Path was Kong Zhou in the Spring and Autumn Period. He traveled all over the world and collected the three magic swords, Chengying, Hanguang and Xiaolian. One day, he witnessed a rainbow piercing the sun, and was inspired to create a unique magic sword attack and killing technique, which is the origin of the Yuqi Path.

At that time, Dongzhou fell, and the sea tribe landed in Qingxu and Xuzhou. Kong Zhou, with three swords, fought his way from Linzi City to the East China Sea, leaving tens of thousands of sea tribe corpses wherever he went, and shocked the world. According to people at that time, Kong Zhou went all the way east and never took a single step west until his death.

At the end of his life, Kong Zhou died together with three nine-turn sea dragons at the end of Dongzhou. The three magic swords broke into pieces and rainbow light fell into the water.

Before his death, Kong Zhou left behind a message: "Replace violence with violence, and only killing can end war."

This sentence is still engraved on the strange stone in Yunjian and is the creed followed by the monks in Dongzhou.

"Why don't you ask the Great Zhou court for help? Even if you send a few Tiangong doctors, it would be better than them fighting with human lives?"

"Someone mentioned this before, but first of all... the Great Zhou needs a court, not the current one that exists in name only." Fang Xun said, "Plus, the Xiaoyao Sect's imperial auras are all very proud, and it is almost impossible to make them bow down to the aristocratic bureaucrats, so this matter has been shelved until now."

Xiaoyao Sect, Linyuan Pavilion… they are worthy of being the two saints of the East and the West.

Fang Weihan sighed and raised his glass again:
"Respect Xiaoyao Sect."

The two clinked glasses again.

"Uncle, aren't you also an elder of the Xiaoyao Sect? Why don't I see you being proud?" Fang Weihan asked.

"You know nothing." Fang Xun said with a sigh, "I used to be a chivalrous man who took pleasure in revenge and killed anyone I disliked."

"Uncle, can you tell me about what happened before?" Fang Weihan said, "I have never heard of your legend in my life."

"Tsk, then you'd better listen carefully." Fang Xun cleared his throat, picked up a chopstick and waved it in the air as if it was some kind of sword.

"My father, your grandfather, was the cousin of the late emperor Fang Yuan, and they had a very good relationship. Unfortunately, my father died early due to bad luck, and the late emperor was extremely sad after his death. So he did not follow the custom to deprive him of the throne of Yiyang, but passed it to my eldest brother, your father."

As far as Fang Weihan could remember, he had never met his parents even once.

He only knew that his father was Fang Wei, Prince of Yi Yang, and his mother was Zheng Yingyun, a daughter of an official from the Zheng family of Xingyang.

No matter how he asked before, Fang Xun just wouldn't tell him. Now that he took the initiative to speak, Fang Weihan naturally listened carefully.

"How about you, Uncle?"

"I was named King of Guangling by the previous emperor. Your title comes from me."

Fang Xun took a sip of wine. …

……

Yongzhou, Changming City.

The beautiful and elegant girl slowly stepped down from the dragon chariot and looked towards the palace gate in front of her, with a myriad of thoughts in her mind.

Fang Tang had been to this mansion before, on the night of New Year's Eve.

Here she met Xie Lingwan, the eldest daughter of the Xie family of Chenjun, and had a pleasant conversation with her. Tao Yunjiang, the granddaughter of Tao Yan, showed her sincere kindness, Xiao Jin of the Xiao family of Lanling greeted her with a sweet smile, and Wen Zhexue of Linyuan Pavilion made her feel like she had seen him before.

Fang Tang once gathered with four very different girls. The power they held together was probably enough to decide the life and death of the empire. But even so, they would intrigue against each other for some trivial matters.

"It's just like playing house," she thought.

But fate is so wonderful that it brings together people with different temperaments, different standpoints, and even different times, and the bond between them is actually because of a man.

This is ridiculous. Is it possible that the world will stop turning without him?
"Your Highness, there is no owner in the palace, and His Highness Prince Guangling's housekeeper and maid Ningbai is not here either." Bilong walked down the steps and reported to Fang Tang.

"The concierge handed me a letter. This is what Miss Xie left for Your Highness."

Xie Lingwan? Did she know I was coming?

Fang Tang hated the feeling of being plotted against. It made her feel despised and insulted.

She suppressed the discomfort and disgust in her heart and unfolded the letter.

There was very little content above, only a few lines, and what Xie Lingwan wanted to express was also very simple:
She took the people from Prince Guangling's Palace away. There was nothing interesting to see in the palace. It was up to her whether she wanted to look at it or destroy it.

In addition, Xie Lingwan also wished Her Royal Highness the Princess a happy life and good health.

Fang Tang has to thank her.

The girl crumpled the letter in her hand into a ball, her face expressionless.

How could she not know what Xie Lingwan's intention was in taking all the people in the palace away? This was to completely cut off any possible connection between her and Fang Weihan, in order to prevent her from causing trouble again.

The last crackdown on the Xie family of Chenjun must have made her feel dissatisfied, so she took this opportunity to fight back.

Fang Tang even vaguely saw Xie Lingwan giving him a mocking smile.

Look, although I can't do anything to you, you can't do anything to him either.

This bitch.

Fang Tang could almost conclude that Xie Lingwan had never discussed this matter with Fang Weihan. She was just relying on Fang Weihan's trust in her to act arbitrarily and alienate the relationship between them.

The reason why Fang Weihan and I had come to this point today was mostly due to her. If Fang Weihan had not taken into account the interests of her family, why would he have betrayed his class!

Fang Tang extremely regretted her behavior of threatening the Xie family of Chenjun that day. She did not expect that Xie Lingwan occupied such a large proportion in Fang Weihan's heart. This was her mistake.

If we just find someone to kill Xie Lingwan, wouldn't there be a lot of problems?

As soon as this thought arose in his mind, Fang Tang remembered the expression on Fang Weihan's face when he drew his sword towards him that day, and his heart ached again.

It has been a month since Fang Weihan left Changming. During this month, Fang Tang has had the same nightmare every night. The nightmare always takes place in the Yingluan Palace, and there is always one person in the nightmare. He points a sword at himself, his face full of indifference and determination.

Although he was already familiar with it, Fang Tang would still feel so sad that he wanted to die whenever he saw this scene in his dreams.

It shouldn't have been like this. They could have been the best ruler and subject.

There is no point in regretting. If she could go back in time, she would still make the same choice as she did then. Putting aside personal feelings, this is her duty and responsibility as the crown prince.

But...she couldn't let it go.

Fang Tang lowered his head and looked at the sword tassel held tightly in his hand. There was an indelible sadness and indifference in his amber eyes.

There is still one and a half months left until the time point that Shi Dangliu mentioned.

Forty-five days later, perhaps she would get the answer that she both feared and expected.

Time had prepared everything for her, pulling her into this time and space, and setting a date for her death to torture her spirit.

"Is all this... the price?" Fang Tang said softly.

The Luantai Guards cleared the entire street, and there was no one in front of the palace. Fang Tang stood there for a long time, her thin figure lonely and desolate, and no one dared to stay with her.

After Fang Tang left the palace, she did not return to the Eastern Palace, but went to the Zongzheng Temple in Changming.

Fang Weihan had never mentioned his relatives to her, so she wanted to try to find Fang Weihan's relatives and see if she could repair the relationship between him and herself in this way.

But in the end, she got a result that she did not expect.

"Your Highness, the father of His Highness Prince Guangling is Prince Hejian Fangzhi, and his mother is Zheng Yingyun, the legitimate daughter of Zheng from Xingyang." The Chief of the Imperial Clan replied.

"King of Hejian...Fang Qi?"

Fang Tang had never heard of this person's name.

"Fang Qi is the twelfth generation grandson of Emperor Taizu and the ..." of Emperor Yuan before Zong Zheng finished his words were interrupted by Si Qing standing beside him.

"Master Zong Zheng, you remembered it wrong." Si Qing winked at him, indicating that he should correct it immediately.

Mixing up the titles of vassal kings is a serious crime of usurpation!
"Nonsense!" Zong Zheng blew his beard and glared, "Although I am useless, I am not so useless as to confuse the name of a vassal king."

Seeing that he insisted again and again, Si Qing was anxious, but he could do nothing but whisper a reminder:
"His Royal Highness Prince Guangling's father should be Prince Fang Yue of the East Sea..."

He stopped talking here, as if he was trying to keep it secret.

Fang Yue once competed with Fang Zun for the throne, and his final outcome was very bad.

Fang Tang had already noticed something was wrong.

It is impossible that the people in the Zongzheng Temple could not even remember the clan relations of a vassal prince, let alone that this was Fang Weihan's father.

"Where is the clan tree?" Fang Tang said.

The two arguing men took her to check the family tree, but the results they got in the end surprised them.

"Fang Wei, King of Yi Yang?" Fang Tang repeated the name silently, but found that he still knew nothing about this person.

But this is obviously not the same person as what they just talked about.

Fang Tang felt an increasing sense of disharmony in her heart. She felt as if she had accidentally discovered an extremely important secret.

what on earth is it?
