Fish swimming around the world

Since Jiang Qi saw his brother, his random thoughts stopped and his mind returned to the current war.

"He...is he really an enemy..."

Jiang Qi looked melancholy, not without regret. Obviously, this talented and elegant man from Wei finally occupied a place in her heart.

Jiang Fan also sighed: "It's a sense of family and country. Cao Zijian is from Wei after all. It's understandable to think from his perspective. On the contrary, I think he is a man who makes decisions when necessary."

"Is he a real man..." Jiang Qi murmured, "Is he? He never liked war, and he never yearned for the kingship. Why do I feel that..."

She whispered, "I think he wants to prove something..."

Jiang Fan's heart moved slightly, "Qiqi... do you want to meet him?"

Jiang Qi was stunned: "Meet the enemy leader before the battle?"

Jiang Fan nodded: "...I suddenly feel that you two should meet, even if it's just to say goodbye..."

Jiang Qi was silent for a while: "Let me think about it. Before that, I will mobilize the navy first..."

So, the Lishan Fleet set out.

If nothing unexpected happens, Canglan will face off against the Wei navy in ten days.

Strictly speaking, the Lishan Navy cannot compare with the Wei State Navy in terms of quantity. Because Jiang Fan's focus is on building a navy, and he also has to help the Daqin Navy to arm, so the Lishan Navy is just a special demonstration corps, but it can also be said to be a special navy. Their ships and equipment are far beyond the reach of the Wei State.

While waiting for the navy and the old man, Jiang Fan dealt with many tedious but important matters. However, because the association and alliance operated perfectly, he was still able to free up a lot of time.

At this time, Jiang Qi came and looked at Jiang Fan seriously: "Brother, take me to see him!"

Jiang Fan put down the book in his hand and said, "I've thought about it. This moment, it is very likely that we will end our friendship."

Jiang Qi's eyes were clear: "Some people and some things will eventually pass. If he is not on the same path as you, it would be better to say goodbye earlier."

Jiang Fan pondered for a moment and nodded: "I'll arrange it."

Not long after, Jiang Fan received a handwritten letter from Cao Zijian, which contained only one sentence: Tomorrow at midnight, Canglan tributary, Luohe Bay.

Luo River, also known as Luoshui, is a winding and beautiful river. It originates from Cangshan Mountain, flows through Mangshan Mountain, and merges into Canglan River in Dengzhou.

Luohe Bay is the confluence.

In the past, this was the place where Dengzhou and the Black Sail Gang delivered goods, and it was also the place where Jiang Qi and Cao Zijian often met.

During the war, this place was emptied. There was not a single person or boat left. All that was left was the quietly flowing river, a small but clean sandbar, and a full moon in the sky that shed its bright light.

Cao Zijian listened to the footsteps behind him, but did not turn around. He just stared at the full moon in the sky in a daze.

"I said, I'll never see you again..."

Jiang Fan stopped and sat down next to him: "If you don't look at me, it won't count as a meeting."

Cao Zijian was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing: "This old mouth is really smooth..."

"Your operation was very smooth." Jiang Fan said, "But... I don't think you want to fight me."

Cao Zijian sighed, "It's called a counterattack, but it's just to limit you to Wendeng. But I found that you don't seem to have any in-depth thoughts. Why? Don't you want to start a full-scale war with my Great Wei when the Xia Kingdom is still undetermined?"

"Is that the reason, Brother Jianren? Is it okay for us to just wait like this?"

Cao Zijian snorted: "That's my territory. You may be happy about it, but I'm not happy."

Jiang Fan hummed: "I can understand that, but...you are the ones who started this. How about you ask your old man to withdraw his troops from Xia Country? I promise to leave immediately."

Cao Zijian smiled bitterly: "What's the point of arguing about this."

"Yeah, you can't make the decision. Remember what we said at the beginning, if you don't want to fight, you can make the decision yourself..."

"I was too naive back then. Making decisions is difficult, and even after making decisions, war is obviously unavoidable..."

"But at least I can beat you one last time, and there will be peace for a long time..."

Cao Zijian sneered: "Listen, what do people say... When you sweep across the world, I will be the only one left in Wei? How can I fight you? At that time, there is no need to fight, I will just give it to you."

He looked at the full moon hanging high in the sky and said, "I just don't understand, what is so tempting about hegemony that you want a bright moon to cover the stars and let the whole world be shrouded in your glory?"

Jiang Fan shook his head: "It's not for hegemony, it's just that the process requires hegemony."

"I don't understand, what are you going to do?"

Jiang Fan took a deep breath: "In the future, you will know. I believe that by then, you will no longer hate me."

"But now I hate you. Although we started the war on the surface, it was all part of your plan. You two... are so cruel and ruthless..."

Jiang Fan didn't speak for a long time, and finally sighed: "Back then I advised you to fight, but now I want to advise you to leave, stay away from this place with Xiaohong..."

"You've come to my house and brought disaster to my people and my country. Do you think I will listen?"

"I never want to harm, but to save. You don't understand."

"I can't listen to something I don't understand. Jiang Fan, either you make me understand and make me feel it's right, otherwise, I will always stand at the forefront to intercept you. Otherwise, you can kill me first. It won't be difficult for you."

"Killing you is not difficult, but getting over this hurdle in your heart is difficult. Really, can't you listen to me one more time?"

Cao Zijian shook his head: "Take out your stuff. I will counterattack from three directions, but I won't attack. I just want to hear your reasons for the war. But I realized that you won't tell me."

Jiang Fan seemed a little disappointed: "Okay, let's just leave it at that. It's a beautiful day, so let's not talk about the war, okay?"

"I have nothing to talk to you about except the war."

"Where's your sister Man'er? Don't want to talk about it either?"

Cao Zijian was silent for a while, then shook his head: "That's your business. I don't want to know and add to your troubles."

Jiang Fan sighed: "Okay, it seems you really don't want to talk to me..."

Pointing at Jiang Qi who had just emerged from the quiet Luo River Bay after swimming, he smiled and said, "Then talk to her."

Cao Zijian stared blankly, "...The lotus blooms in Luoshui, like a goddess..."

Jiang Fan sighed: She is really a god... huh? Luoshen?

Just as he was stunned, Cao Zijian looked at Jiang Qi swimming towards the shore and suddenly spoke softly - graceful as a startled swan, elegant as a swimming dragon...

Young Master Jiang was stunned...

——

Jiang Fan did not stay as a supporting role, but left all the time and space to them.

And he himself met Xiaohong.

Gently hugging Cao Ying, Jiang Fan was in a daze for a long time until Cao Ying broke the silence.

"I know what you are going to do. When doing something like this, you can't be too sentimental, whether it's family, friendship or love."

Jiang Fan exhaled: "Only the Supreme One can forget about emotions. After all, I fight for these things. The more I fight for them, the deeper my feelings become..."
