"What a great environment. When I get tired of playing, I will definitely find a place to live this kind of life." Zuo Zhou spoke highly of the living environment in Fusu.
Compared with the prosperity of the imperial capital, this place is really like a paradise. To borrow an ancient poem, 'The land is flat, the houses are neat, there are fertile fields, beautiful ponds, mulberry and bamboo trees. There is endless traffic, and chickens and dogs hear each other...', anyway.
That's what it meant. If Bai Qi hadn't personally led the team, Zuo Zhou would never have imagined that this was Fusu's residence.
But... "I remember that your residence was not far from the Imperial Capital last time. Are you still doing it this time? You are not afraid of being targeted again!"
Bai Qi picked up the ax next to him without paying much attention and split a piece of firewood with a click. "People of this lineage have been scattered into many tribes. From the perspective of continuing future generations, the task has been completed."
Zuo Zhou nodded but looked at Bai Qi with interest, "What are you implying now?"
"He didn't hint at anything."
A cheerful and magnetic voice interrupted the conversation between the two of them. He furrowed his brows and seemed a little helpless. Then he saw Fusu walking slowly and waved hello casually, "General Li, I haven't seen you for many years. I remember the last time."
It’s at the palace!”
Zuo Zhou waved back, like an old friend he hadn't seen for many years.
"Let's go inside and talk."
The three of them entered the courtyard. There were no luxurious courtyards here, but only small farmyards where chickens and ducks were raised. Zuo Zhou asked about the smell of horse manure and even felt it was quite friendly.
I remember that it was the same when they were in Jiannan Road. The only difference was that Old Man Zuo was a little lazy and he was always asked to shovel shit.
"I once thought someone would come looking for me, but I never thought it would be you."
"Well, then who is the person in your imagination?"
"..."
Fusu's silence made Zuo Zhou understand, Li Si, the person who once had his trust, even the Emperor Qin's trust.
Well, from a certain perspective, Li Si did not betray Da Qin. He just wanted to establish an underworld, and the location was not Da Qin. Except for a few individuals, there was really no conflict of interest with Da Qin.
Apart from Zuo Zhou having some grudge against them, Di Renjie and others dealt with them more out of... justice? Pretty much.
"Since you know someone will come looking for you, you should understand why, right?"
Fusu nodded and said matter-of-factly: "It's just because of the throne."
"Then what are your plans?"
"Go on with my life."
"You never thought about going back? You know, many old officials in the court..."
"But there are a lot of people who support Hu Hai, aren't they?" Fusu smiled brightly, as if he had no complaints at all because his supporters had dwindled.
Bai Qi was speechless, and Zuo Zhou had to admit that what Fusu said was not wrong. Hu Hai's so-called checks and balances would take care of the interests of all parties. Even if this process would hurt national interests, as long as the powerful ministers group did not cause trouble, everyone would
Just think that the country is peaceful.
This is actually the case for so many countries throughout the ages. Even though they were in trouble internally and externally, the court still did not cause trouble. It was simply that the interests of each family were taken care of.
Don't talk about the pattern. In the eyes of many people, the interests of the family are far greater than the concept of the country. After all, the 'country' is an invisible and intangible thing, but the interests of the family are real.
"If that's what you're worried about, I guarantee that they don't pose any threat." Bai frowned and snorted murderously.
Fusu still shook his head. He was silent for a moment and suddenly asked: "Do you think my father cared about this country back then?"
"..."
The two of them were silent. This question was really difficult to answer. As far as Emperor Qin was concerned, he had realized his value and became a person whose name would be passed down through the ages. But his decision to leave the country to Hu Hai in the end was in the eyes of many people
It's really a bit...
Fusu looked at the two of them and knew what they were thinking, "Do you believe in fate?"
"I don't believe it!" Zuo Zhou's answer was categorical. Because he has the aura of destruction, the gods will run away. Are you asking him whether he believes in fate?
However, Bai Qi remained silent for a long time. Although he is almost immortal after becoming a zombie, it is actually a curse. Now ask him if he believes it?
Fusu sighed: "I don't believe that because the two heavens merge, most of the world in the future will inevitably have its history corrected towards another world. Then, wouldn't I be forced to commit suicide by Hu Hai!"
Bai Qi looked strange, "Is it possible that you didn't go back because you were afraid of this?"
Fusu shook his head, "Actually, even if Hu Hai didn't win that match, my father would have let Hu Hai succeed him, because this was his rebellion against destiny!"
"How to say?"
"Personally speaking, my father has instilled the power of unification into the way of heaven, and he has defeated the destiny of heaven. As far as the country is concerned, Da Qin will be gone in the third generation according to the history of another world. But with what my father has laid down now
Basically, even if Hu Hai squanders until his death, this country will not be destroyed! From this perspective, my father has defeated the way of heaven again. Of course, Hu Hai is not dead yet, so this is not settled yet."
Zuo Zhou tilted his head and thought for a moment, "If you go back, wouldn't it be considered a victory over Heaven? After all, you were committed suicide in the next world. If you do it now..."
"But in this way, I have violated my father's words, and... by living the life of idle clouds and wild cranes, haven't I also defeated the way of heaven? After all, as long as I don't go back for a day, I am no threat to Hu Hai. Even if he wants to kill me, he will not
The reason is not."
Bai Qi shook his head, "No, you are too passive to think like this. It is also going against nature. You can actually be more proactive."
"But why should I be more proactive?" Fusu spread his hands and said, "I don't want to work hard." "After all, this country belongs to many people, not the royal family alone!"
"Haha, it's rare that you still have such awareness." Zuo Zhou teased.
"This is what my father said at the beginning. Well, he listened to a lot of Yin Man's words and was quite interested in the things in the world next door. But to be honest, I don't quite understand it. Fortunately, I am not the emperor, so I don't have to worry about this matter.
Worry." Fusu reached out and took away their wine glasses and replaced them with tea.
Zuo Zhou took a sip of tea. Perhaps it was due to environmental factors, but he felt very peaceful.
"What if one day, everyone thinks Hu Hai is not good and wants to kick him out?"
"..."
Bai Qi's movements paused for a moment, but Fusu didn't react at all. "That means Hu Hai's balance method failed. He failed to defeat fate! Well, how old was Hu Hai in the next world when he died?
?”
Zuo Zhou's face twitched and he said amusedly: "I remember...it's either twenty-three or twenty-four!"
Fu Su was happy and smiled happily, "Isn't that soon? It will only happen next year. Well, the family is always a bit useless. My father and I have already defeated destiny, so there is no one who can do it."
Yes, it’s not a surprise, hehe.”
"Then what if he dies this year?"
"..."
There was a sudden silence in the room. Bai Qi held the tea cup to his lips but could not bring in the tea. Fu Su looked at Zuo Zhou for a while and sighed: "Then I must thank you. If you die early, then you should be considered a victory over the way of heaven!"
Zuo Zhou was completely convinced. Are all members of this family so open-minded?
Fusu poured himself a cup of tea, "After Hu Hai's death, no matter which clan succeeds him, with the current strength of the Qin Dynasty, even if all the ministers are collectively destroyed, they will probably be able to survive for a few years. You see, this
Isn’t this another victory over destiny?”
"It's so contrary to destiny, your family is so awesome!" Zuo Zhou rolled his eyes angrily, suddenly feeling bored, and without saying hello, he got up and flew out.
There was a long silence in the room. Fusu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a wry smile: "You should know, he is here to kill people."
Bai Qi put down the tea. It was already cold!
"Hu Hai has done nothing wrong in governing the country, and he can't be considered to have ruined the country or harmed the people. It's just that he seems to have a deep prejudice and obsession with Li Yuanfang, and because he targeted Li Yuanfang, the country was in turmoil. Sometimes, I even feel that Li Yuanfang
It’s the knife sent by Heaven to correct fate!”
Fusu was a little helpless, "We didn't expect that the friendship left by our father would be exhausted so quickly. Hu Hai's obsession with Li Yuanfang exceeded our expectations, and Li Yuanfang's bottom line is not as low as we thought."
Bai Qi looked at Fusu and asked seriously: "You want to protect Hu Hai? You should understand that the task your father left for me is to protect you. The reason why I live in the palace is just to wait for Hu Hai."
It’s just about cultivating your own local masters.”
Fusu smiled bitterly, "Hu Hai probably doesn't want my protection now. In fact, if I go back, he will become my enemy. Wouldn't that be the same as the history of the world next door?"
Bai Qi suddenly discovered Hua Dian when he heard this dilemma, "Why do you think you can protect Hu Hai? Have you achieved the Earth Ranking?"
"Soon."
Bai Qi frowned, "Don't you focus on reproduction? I remember that several ladies are already pregnant. How can you advance to the Earth Ranking?"
"Yin Man gave me an elixir last time. It can strengthen my body and strengthen my vitality and increase my power. Well, it's a very magical elixir. I didn't notice any side effects."
Bai Qi's expression became even weirder, "A pill that can improve one's skills without any side effects? How can there be such a pill in the world? If it does exist, it probably contains luck or merit."
"I don't know about that. Anyway, I didn't feel any luck or merit mixed in when I ate it."
"Okay, even if you succeed in the Dibang, don't mess around. Li Yuanfang has killed more than one or two Dibang!"
Fusu nodded frustratedly, looked at Bai Qi and asked, "Do you think the Emperor's Sword left by your father can deal with Li Yuanfang?"
Bai Qi didn't give him a good look, "You can deal with me, but Li Yuanfang better not think about it!"
