Chapter 1,207 'The Incident of Mr. Xiao Ge's Annulled Engagement'
"Well!"
In the firewood room of Tianshi Mansion, Kato Danzo opened his eyes and began to look for possibilities of escape.
The divine power of Gao Tianyuan in him has been exhausted. In terms of strength, in front of the terrifying Great Tomorrow Master, he may be killed with just one finger. But it is precisely because of the obvious strength and weakness that the opponent will underestimate the enemy and there is an opportunity to take advantage of it. But
The ninja soon discovered that there was no such thing as underestimating an enemy.
No matter how brilliant his ninjutsu was, the ropes on his body would change accordingly, tightening like vines until he could no longer breathe and fainted completely.
I don't know how long it took, but Kato Danzo woke up in a daze. First he felt the moist sea breeze, like the breath of his hometown, and then he found a soft light moving towards this side.
It was not an illusion, there was indeed a strange wind lingering around, and the lantern was held in a person's hand and came in front of him.
This is Yan Shifan.
The little pavilion elder, who still didn't know what was going on outside, looked down and looked at this short, unattractive ninja with both disgust and curiosity.
Kato Danzo looked at this person, his eyes were shrewd, and the corners of his eyes and mouth were raised. At first glance, he was the type who was both smart and conceited.
His eyes moved slightly, and he took the initiative to say: "Your Excellency, are you a high official in China?"
Yan Shifan said solemnly: "Yes, I am the minister of the Ministry of Industry. I am the acting chief assistant and drafter. I can intervene in all major affairs in the world. In the Ming Dynasty, except for His Majesty the Emperor, there are not many people who can compare with me in power!"
Kato Danzo didn't know much about the official positions in the Ming Dynasty. He only knew that the person in front of him was indeed a great figure if he didn't lie. He quickly compared it with the Japanese country: "Then your power can be compared with that of the Shogun."
?”
"Shogun?"
Yan Shifan was startled for a moment, and then sneered: "Comparing them to me is simply a shame, but since you are a small foreigner in a corner separated by mountains and seas, the ignorant are not guilty, so I won't argue with you.
You care about it." Before, Li Yan looked down on Gao Tianyuan's god, and Kato Duanzang was so angry that he wanted to commit seppuku, but he was not angry at Yan Shifan's humiliation.
There is indeed no comparison between the general of Japan and the ruler of China, but he also wanted to find out the purpose of the other party's visit: "Since you have such an identity, why are you in this Tianshi Mansion?"
Yan Shifan said: "I am a patient and the Heavenly Master is a doctor. Can you understand this relationship?"
Kato Danzo didn't quite understand: "The Heavenly Master will cure you?"
Yan Shifan smiled: "Not only for me, but also the gods and heavenly masters in China can cure diseases. That's why he doesn't like the gods of your Japanese country who live in Gaotianyuan."
Kato Danzo said solemnly: "He will definitely regret it. Gao Tianyuan's divine power is definitely not something that mortals can compete with, and there is no longer any protection from gods in Middle Earth!"
Yan Shifan probed: "In this case, why didn't you Japanese gods come over earlier?"
Kato Danzo immediately lowered his head. If it weren't for the rope tied to his body, he would probably be lying on the ground: "The decision of a great god is not something that can be guessed by someone as humble as me!"
Yan Shifan asked again: "Let's not talk about the past, why did you come to our country from the Japanese god who was ordered by Gao Tianyuan?"
Kato Danzo still replied: "I don't know!"
Yan Shifan snorted: "If you hide it from me now, you will regret it when our Ming army sets foot on the Japanese island!"
Kato Danzo's body froze, his pupils dilated, and he was full of disbelief: "The army of the Ming Dynasty wants to attack Fuso?" It was always the Japanese pirates who invaded the border of the Ming Dynasty and made it uneasy. Now the other side is really planning to take the initiative to raise troops?
Li Yan arranged for Wang Zhi to collect the distribution of the common forces of Japan, and obtained the whereabouts of the Hydra from Princess Wan Sheng and Long Po early. These were all preparations.
Yan Shifan actually didn't understand this, but from the perspective of a bystander, he thought that the Heavenly Master paid too much attention to the Japanese country, so he made a judgment: "He will take action against the Japanese country."
Kato Danzo suppressed the fear in his heart and asked in a deep voice: "Will you help us?"
"Are you stupid? As a minister of the Ming Dynasty, how can I help you?"
Yan Shifan looked over as if he were a fool, but changed the topic: "However, in the "Huang Ming Ancestor Instructions", our Emperor Taizu designated your Japanese country as a country without conquest. If the Heavenly Master wants to violate the laws of our ancestors, I will
Let’s talk about it!”
There are many versions of "Huang Ming Ancestor Instructions". In the 28th edition of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang indeed listed fifteen overseas countries such as Korea, Japan, Dayiuqiu, and Xiaoliuqiu as "countries not to be conquered", warning future generations,
No arbitrary conquest is allowed.
As for the reason, it is written very clearly, "The land of small countries is not enough to provide food, and the people are not enough to command. If they do not think about themselves and come to disturb us, it will be unlucky for them. They will not be a trouble to China.
And it is also unlucky for me to raise an army and attack lightly..."
"I am afraid that future generations, relying on China's wealth and power, will be greedy for temporary military success, raise troops for no reason, and cause harm to human lives, so remember not to do it. However, the Hu Rong are approaching northwest China, and they will be a border threat in the world. We must select generals to train troops and be prepared for them at all times."
Taizu of the Ming Dynasty believed that these places were not only barbaric in terms of population composition, but also geographically remote, which could not bring any real benefits to the Ming Dynasty. After they attack you, you can fight back, but you don’t have to take the initiative to attack. The real threat is the Hu Rong in the northwest, which is the remnants of the Ming Dynasty.
Mongolian power.
Compared with the maritime ban measures, this concept was very correct for the Ming Dynasty at that time, but Zhu Yuanzhang probably never imagined that the Ming army in later generations would be abolished, let alone the countries that were not to be conquered, he would not be able to conquer them even if he wanted to...
Of course, in any feudal dynasty, whether or not the ancestral laws are applicable to future generations is a difficult hurdle to overcome. Now Yan Shifan has taken out the "Ancestor Instructions of the Emperor Ming" and it is indeed effective.
Kato Duanzo was overjoyed and realized that this was probably an internal political struggle within the Ming Dynasty. He lowered his head and said, "The people of Fuso will never be afraid of war, but they will also be grateful to their friends far away!"
Yan Shifan was noncommittal. He sincerely despised these Japanese people and naturally had no gratitude for them. He just wanted to test whether the other party's gods could pose a threat to the heavenly master.
With the secular foreshadowing, he rolled his eyes, then raised the lantern in his hand and gestured: "Look clearly, what is inside?"
Kato Danzo was a little surprised at first. Isn't this a lantern? Then he realized that the burning thing inside was indeed strange.
It was not a candle or kerosene, but a piece of gently rotating talisman paper, which gave off a soft light, which was far more comfortable than an oil lamp.
Yan Shifan said: "This talisman was transformed from the spell that almost burned you to death."
Kato Danzo thought of the majesty of real fire, looked at the gentle flames in front of him, and shook his head: "Impossible! This is impossible!"
Yan Shifan said: "It can be freely retracted and released, so why not? These all reflect the power of the heavenly masters. Immortals are also divided into strong and weak. The mountain gods in our Central Plains are not very powerful. The gods of your Japanese country are really Li Shizhen."
His opponent?"
"I don't know...I don't know"
"This Yan Shifan doesn't even know how to meditate. In theory, he does a lot of things."
Kato Danzo's lips trembled, and in the distant hall, Li Yan's lips slightly raised, smiling a little.
Yan Shifan thought he was very talented, but in fact his thoughts were too messy and divergent, and he did not know how to restrain himself, so he was not suitable for practice. However, he did have meticulous observation and bold conjectures.
After the elements of earth and water, the essence of the element of fire was also fully understood during this period. The use of spells to illuminate it was reflected, and the flames became docile and flexible in his hands.
The wind lingering in the mansion is strong.
The air flow in the space belongs to the wind element, the breathing belongs to the wind element, and the flow belongs to the wind element. Combined with the guidance of the talent of listening, it also simulates a certain effect of listening to the wind.
Li Yan was already aware of the turmoil in the outside world. Even in the Yuxi Palace, how Yan Song used his sophisticated planning and understanding of Jiajing to get through the pass without any danger was as vivid as if he were present at the scene. He just thought about it.
It was not that simple to turn the evil talent into a positive gain. He soon discovered that this smooth ear could not be turned off.
From all directions, all kinds of information are transmitted to the ears through the breath of the wind all the time, impacting the soul.
Not to mention ordinary people, even practitioners would be driven crazy by this situation, but Li Yan faced it happily and regarded it as a training for the sixth consciousness.
At this time, after listening to the conversation between Yan Shifan and Kato Danzo, and sifting through the information around him, Li Yan closed his eyes and entered a state of oblivion under the great test of the wind.
Until a team of chariots and horses arrived outside the Tianshi Mansion.
Jiuye greeted him slowly and found that he was an acquaintance: "Please inform Tianshi Li that Ouyang Bi, the Minister of Industry, will come to see you and take Shi Lang back."
When we were looking for Nine-leaf Ganoderma lucidum grass in the canal in the past, it was Li Yan, Lu Bing and Ouyang Bijin who were traveling together. Of course Jiuye recognized him, but Ouyang Bijin didn't recognize him, he just thought about his troubled nephew.
. However, after repeated questioning, Yan Shifan, who finally failed to find out Kato Duanzang’s words, heard the noise and came to the front door. When he found that his uncle came to pick him up, he was standing in the house and shouted without hesitation: "
I do not go!"
The environment here is comfortable, his horizons are widened, and he can prepare for defeating the opponent in the future. He enjoys such a novel and challenging life. Plus, his little brother has not returned yet, so how can he be willing to leave?
Ouyang Bijin was anxious: "Your Majesty asked you to go back!"
Yan Shifan's eyes became sharp: "I have already taken leave from the Ministry of Industry. How can this trivial matter disturb His Majesty? Is there a female official who is slandering me?"
"It's not just slander, there's something big happening outside!"
Ouyang Bijin knew that this was not the place to talk, so he said bitterly: "Donglou, you will understand everything after you return home. You must not do whatever you want when it comes to important matters in the court!"
It's okay not to say the second part of the sentence, but this latter part made Yan Shifan unhappy: "I am treating diseases, is it possible that the court will force people to death?"
Seeing him walking towards the house with his sleeves rolled up, an honest man like Ouyang Bijin became angry: "Yan Shifan! If you don't come with me, are you going to let Jin Yiwei and Dongchang come to pick him up?"
Yan Shifan stopped at his feet, turned around and looked at his uncle's expression, and realized that something was wrong. He counted the time, and it was soon the day of engagement with Mrs. Xu. He finally nodded and said: "Forget it, I'll just go back!"
Watching Yan Shifan reluctantly follow Ouyang Bijin and leave, Jiuye returned to the main hall: "Master, Ouyang Shangshu is here to take Yan Shifan back."
Li Yan said: "This was originally a small farce, but now it has caused such a big disturbance, it should come to an end."
Jiuye was a little worried: "Yan Shifan is full of calculations and has gained more knowledge. If he puts it back like this, I'm afraid there will be chaos. Should I continue to keep an eye on him?"
Li Yan pondered a little more and moved his five fingers.
Fengda brought a huge amount of information that was difficult to control, but it also provided a clearer basis for the calculation. Yan Shifan entered the government, the court was in turmoil, and the Yan Party, which was at its peak, almost came to an end because of a sudden calculation.
Yan Shifan left the house and made some calculations again. Li Yan's eyes moved slightly, and he stretched out his hand to wave. The three talismans of earth, water, and fire flew out and landed in front of Jiuye: "Take it with you. If necessary, you can use it to delay time."
Jiuye was a little confused, but he still followed the instructions: "Yes!"
Compared with the calm situation in Tianshi Mansion, Yan Shifan felt a big difference as soon as he returned to Yan Mansion.
The house was deserted and deserted, and there was no excitement about getting married. The key was that when the servants came into contact with his eyes, they subconsciously avoided him. Those who were far away stayed away, while those who were close remained silent and stood there with their heads bowed.
In this unprecedented depressive atmosphere, Yan Shifan came to the inner house and found Yan Song and Ouyang sitting in silence without saying a word.
He was aware of it, stepped forward and knelt down slowly: "Father! Mother!"
After a moment of silence, Ouyang sighed, and Yan Song said slowly: "Do you know your guilt?"
Yan Shifan said in a low voice: "This time I made a big fuss in order to seek medical treatment, which caused the family to lose face... But today's practitioners are indeed no better than before. I have gained a lot from Tianshi's family, and I have no regrets.
!" Yan Song showed deep disappointment: "You don't take others into consideration at all!"
Yan Shifan raised his head, with resentment in his tone: "Those Qingliu took the opportunity to come forward again, right? People who are boastful don't know that the national treasury is empty and the world is exhausted. The two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty are shouldered by our father and son.
!”
Yan Song was so angry that his eyes widened with bags under his eyes: "I am too old and too weak to bear such a heavy responsibility. The two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty were shouldered by you, Yan Shifan... Cough cough! Cough cough!
"
Ouyang quickly gave Yan Song some relief and said reproachfully: "Donglou, if you still don't admit your mistake, are you really going to make your father angry to death?"
Yan Shifan lowered his head, his eyes not apologetic at all, but filled with confusion.
A person who has been aloof for too long will often ignore the thoughts of others. In Yan Shifan's eyes, he only stayed in Tianshi Mansion for a few days and sought medical consultation. Li Shizhen was very accepting of it. Why are people outside anxious? Seeing this
With his son's unrepentant look on his face, Yan Song took a deep breath and pushed a post in front of him: "Let's take a look. This was just sent by the Xu family."
Yan Shifan took it, glanced at it casually at first, then suddenly froze, looked at it three times, and groaned in a tone as if he was falling into a dream:
"Xu Jie...want to break off the engagement?" Our website:
