Fish swimming around the world

Jiang Fan's eyes flickered: "Speed ​​is the essence of war, unless the prince is sure that he can win the battle before Taiyue realizes his true intention."

"What's the plan..." Bai Shigong twisted his beard with his hands, his eyes wandering.

Jiang Fan gently picked up the teacup, and after a long time, he put it down: "Blind guessing is meaningless, tomorrow we will see the result."

Bai Shigong looked at him deeply: "The king has instructed that we should follow Qin Ma's lead."

Jiang Fan nodded: "Cooperate with each other."

Bai Shigong stared at him seriously: "What does your country, the regent, think?"

Li Xiu smiled slightly: "Don't worry, he is watching."

With a calm smile and a word of reassurance, Bai Shigong actually breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good..."

After sending off the last visitor from the five countries, Jiang Fan felt that the meeting might not end yet, and another party might come.

It was also the most incredible party this time - the Dark Dynasty.

The monarchs of the five countries had never figured out why the Dark Dynasty would participate. Everyone knows that the Imperial Court and the Dark Dynasty have been fighting overtly and covertly for nearly a thousand years, and they are almost incompatible with each other. It is incredible that the prince invited the Dark Dynasty in addition to the Five Kingdoms.

Jiang Fan thought and waited, and the fact did not disappoint him. The person came, and it was an old acquaintance.

The left prime minister of the Dark Dynasty, the top boss who now holds military power - Wei Liao.

Jiang Fan once suspected that it would be him, but when he really came, he couldn't help but feel uneasy in his heart. If there is anyone who is most likely to see through Li Xiu's identity, it is undoubtedly this person.

This person was born in Guigu and is the junior brother of the contemporary Guiguzi. He just missed that generation of entry into the world because of something in the past, but his talent is absolutely unparalleled, and he was named "Wei Liaozi" as a sign of this.

Especially as this person is Li Xiu's uncle, he probably knows Li Xiu to the bone. If you want to hide the truth in front of such a person, you must be extremely alert.

To be honest, he really wanted to avoid it, but he had already seen the people from the four countries, and it would be strange if he didn't see this person, so he had to do it reluctantly.

Compared with Wei Liao's stature, Jiang Fan's tent seemed a bit short. After he came in, he just stood there and stared at Jiang Fan calmly.

After Jiang Fan met him according to the etiquette of Guigu disciples, Wei Liao returned the favor according to official etiquette.

The two sat down, and Wei Liao still didn't speak, just looked at Jiang Fan.

Until a cup of tea was filled, Jiang Fan slowly said: "Uncle, why do you keep looking at me?"

"My nephew..." Wei Liao finally smiled faintly: "Very good, my nephew, we met again today after parting in the secret room of the Xiangfu."

Jiang Fan slowly said: "It is better not to see the people of Guigu. Didn't Uncle Master teach us the same thing at the beginning?"

Wei Liao smiled slightly: "Yes, it's good that you remember. But do you still remember what was said in the secret room that day?"

Jiang Fan's heart skipped a beat. Li Xiu didn't mention this at all, and it was not surprising. It was impossible to forget everything.

After a long silence, Jiang Fan suddenly said: "Uncle Master, please forgive me, I will forget everything."

Wei Liao sighed when he heard this, and then smiled with satisfaction: "You are still you, good, very good."

Jiang Fan really didn't understand what he meant, so he had to remain silent.

At this time, Wei Liao seemed to be relieved.

"You have met your senior brother, right?"

Jiang Fan nodded: "This morning."

Wei Liao said: "This generation is you and Zhang Yi. The winner lives and the loser dies. Are you mentally prepared?"

Jiang Fan said calmly: "Since entering the Ghost Valley, I have known my fate. What is there to prepare for?"

Wei Liao nodded: "... What a pity..."

Jiang Fan did not ask what was a pity. Facing this person, it is best for him to say less.

"What a pity..." Wei Liao sighed: "Since I was born, there have been amazing talents in every generation. Although they have never been kings, they have influenced the kings with their talents and outlined the world's pattern. In your generation, you are even better than the old ones. You should have dominated the world and led the world, but unfortunately... In this era of great contention, unprecedented geniuses have emerged. I, the master, don't talk about kings like Ying Wushuang, Xiang Chen, Wei Achou, and Jiang Chen, but who knew that there was a Jiang Xiaoyao in the world, who dominated the world alone. With his brilliance, your future path... is not easy to walk."

"It's more exciting when it's not easy." Jiang Fan said lightly.

"Oh? Are you confident?"

Jiang Fan shook his head: "Not at all, but I can endure and wait. Even if the person is brilliant, only those who reach the end can decide the winner."

Wei Liao's eyes were deep: "You seem to have chosen a different path from Zhang Yi."

Jiang Fan said: "Who knows, the world is changing after all..."

Wei Liao nodded: "Well, since you are the contemporary Zongheng, Uncle Master will not say more. But in this world of great contention, you may still have to face Uncle Master."

Jiang Fan looked at him calmly: "Uncle Master, is this how you think highly of the Feng family?"

Wei Liao also shook his head: "It's just a choice."

Jiang Fan wanted to ask more why, was it just because he looked down on the empress? But he knew that Li Xiu would not do this, so he did not take the risk and remained silent again.

"You are more calm than before." Wei Liao said slowly: "It's been so long, and you didn't ask Uncle Master why he came."

Jiang Fan said: "Uncle Master wants to say it, he will say it naturally."

Wei Liao looked at him: "Don't you want to say something?"

Jiang Fan shook his head: "The order of seniority, Uncle Master, please go first."

Wei Liao was slightly startled, and finally smiled softly: "Okay, okay... You really started to act as the secret room said... Well, Uncle Master asks you, do you find it strange that my Dark Dynasty is also invited to the meeting of the five countries?"

Jiang Fan looked at him seriously: "Uncle Master, you still have to say it first."

Wei Liao couldn't help laughing: "In front of Jiang Xiaoyao, you learned to be slick."

Jiang Fan said calmly: "Since you asked yourself, please answer it yourself."

Wei Liao nodded with satisfaction, but shook his head: "I don't know. I haven't thought through the prince's move."

Jiang Fan said: "The imperial court has been fighting openly and secretly for nearly a thousand years. Except for the abdication and sacrifice to heaven, they have never been on the same stage again. This time is indeed strange, and I can't figure it out either."

Wei Liao shook his head: "It's not accurate to say that they have never been on the same stage again... But few people know about this, and even Guigu's Spring and Autumn Miscellaneous Notes has not recorded it."

He took a sip of tea and talked about a past event. In the past, the imperial court decided to climb Mount Tai to seek refuge and prolong life, but was strongly obstructed by the Feng family, and Mount Tai was also hesitant because of this.

However, at that time, the emperor of the human world actually did something secretly, inviting the kings of the five countries, and invited the emperor of the dark dynasty to Ziwei Terrace, which was later the site of the imperial court's Ziwei Palace, for talks.

After that, the Feng family unexpectedly gave in and even pushed for this matter, and it was finally carried out.

"It is said..." Wei Liao said with a deep look in his eyes: "That day, the Emperor of Man had a word with the head of the Feng family, it is easy to go up the mountain but difficult to go down the mountain, look at each other at eye level, respect the Supreme together, and win the dragon in the wild."

Jiang Fan's pupils shrank slightly, there was no other reason, he knew about this matter. Because this sentence was originally given to His Majesty the Emperor of Man by Master Zhang Zaifu.

What this means is that once the Imperial Court goes up the mountain, it means losing the real imperial power and it is difficult to come down again. From then on, it becomes equal with the Feng family's secret court. The two sides have a common supervision of the Taiyue Holy Land, which is better than the Imperial Court being uncontrollable outside.
