Speaking of the Old Prime Minister's Mansion in Tianlong City, everyone knows it. As a citizen of the Tianlong Empire, some people may not know who the current Prime Minister is, and everyone does not know the old Prime Minister. The old Prime Minister does not refer to the previous generation of Prime Ministers. Since Zheng Feng's time,
So far, the prime minister has changed twice, and the old prime minister only refers to one person in particular, and that is Prime Minister Fan Li in the early days of the founding of the Tianlong Empire.
Although he is no longer here, his contribution to the Tianlong Empire has always been recorded in the history books of the Tianlong Empire. It was even deified under Lin Lie's instructions and became a spiritual belief. At any time, he will be remembered for the rest of his life.
In return for dedication to the empire, even after the death of the late king, there has never been such kindness.
On the day of Fan Li's death, Qinglong City even issued a memorial tribute. This kind of treatment has not happened before in Qinglong Continent, but those are people who exist like gods to mortals, such as the elders of Qinglong City.
Or the city lord, Hunwu City mourned the death of mortals. This has never happened at all. Even when the kings of the super empires that unified the Qinglong Continent passed away in history, Qinglong City never mourned them.
This move of Hunwu City has aroused criticism from countless empires. Why can't their king be treated like this even after his death? Now, a mere prime minister of an empire has received higher honors than those famous emperors in history. This makes Tai
Many people feel unbalanced!
Faced with all these doubts, the person who responded was an elder from Qinglong City. He said: We decided to pursue Fan Li for the Tianlong Empire. The reasons are very simple. First, the Tianlong Empire is one of the most powerful empires in the Qinglong Continent today.
, there are countless wealth and resources in the country, but as a prime minister with great power, Fan Li is less than one person and more than ten thousand people, but he does not have any property outside the Tianlong Empire. After his death, his only inheritance
, there was only that mansion where he lived all his life, and secondly, he had no children in his life.
No matter which continent, today's nobles are still under the feudal system. Not to mention ordinary people, even cultivators, as long as they have power and wealth, there are many three wives and four concubines, and they have no children in their lives. Fan Li really can't
Do you want to give birth? He doesn't want to give birth. He just doesn't want to watch the empire grow up and be in turmoil because of it. For the prosperity and stability of the Tianlong Empire, he is willing not to marry in his life.
When he passed away, he didn't have any legitimate sons to see him off. Even his adopted son couldn't accompany him through the last moments of his life due to various reasons. He left with regrets. This is a man who dedicated his whole life to the empire.
elder……
Zheng Feng returned to his home after a long absence, a place that was both familiar and unfamiliar. Nothing in Fan's Mansion seemed to have changed much, except that there were some traces of time on the solemn stone door, just like in his memory.
It was the same as the Fan Mansion. However, he knew that this was no longer the Fan Mansion of his family. His adoptive father was no longer there, Uncle Pei was no longer here, and even all the servants in the house were no longer the servants they used to be. Things were just people.
No, and as an unfilial son, he felt extremely ashamed. Looking at the old plaque of 'Fan Mansion', two lines of hot tears flowed out uncontrollably.
The girl looked at the demented Zheng Feng and sighed softly. Once some things were missed, there would be no chance to make up for it. She stepped forward and knocked on the door. A middle-aged man opened the door and saw the girl.
, smiled and said: "Young lady, you are back."
The girl didn't quite understand why the servants in Fan's house called her Young Mistress. She thought it was because she had made a marriage contract with Zheng Feng. But not long ago, she found out that it was no longer a simple marriage contract, but a real marriage contract.
The completed wedding.
"Young Master?" Seeing Zheng Feng behind the girl, the servant's eyes widened in disbelief.
The middle-aged man has never seen Zheng Feng, but because there is a portrait of Zheng Feng in the Fan Mansion, it is not surprising at all that he can recognize Zheng Feng. He knows that the young master and the young mistress are not mortals, but are great practitioners. He himself
They have become grandparents. The young master and young mistress look young, but they are both his grandfathers.
"He is Uncle Pei's grandson Pei Lin." The girl said. Pei Bo was the steward of Fan Mansion when Zheng Feng was there. He was not as skilled as Mr. Fan and had left long ago. After his death, his son replaced him and became the steward of Fan Mansion.
But now, no one knows how many decades have passed, even Pei Bo's son has reached the age where he must retire, and his grandson Pei Lin has taken over the position of housekeeper.
The Fan Mansion has long lost its former aura. Although Prime Minister Fan is still respected by the people of the empire, few officials come to visit. The entire Fan Mansion is deserted, but the Pei family still serves as the housekeepers here, because Mr. Fan once treated
Pei Bo had a life-saving grace.
Today, in the Fan Mansion, apart from His Majesty coming to pay homage to the old master every year on his death anniversary, only friends of the old master come to visit.
Zheng Feng said: "Take me to see my adoptive father."
"Yes, young master, please come with me." Pei Lin bowed and led the way.
Zheng Feng walked a familiar road and looked at the familiar scenery, but he no longer had the same familiar feeling as before. The Fan Mansion as a whole has not changed, but small local changes still exist, just like Zheng Feng has no idea what time it was in the mansion.
There is an additional mourning hall, not much decoration, a simple memorial tablet, a few incense sticks lit, and a few wisps of smoke. It is so simple that it does not look like the mourning hall that a prime minister of a country should have.
After bringing Zheng Feng here, Pei Lin quietly retreated. From the moment he was born, he had been trained by his grandfather as a butler. He knew very well what he should and should not do as a butler.
What.
"Father, the child is unfilial..." Looking at the memorial tablet in a daze, Zheng Feng knelt down heavily and buried his head on the floor. His shoulders could not stop shaking and he let out a mournful sob.
The girl watched silently and led Alice away quietly. Zheng Feng's current appearance should not be seen by anyone, including her and Alice.
After Zheng Feng knelt in front of Mr. Fan's memorial tablet for seven days and seven nights, he finally stepped out of the mourning hall. He knew that these simple seven days and seven nights were not enough to make up for the mistakes he had made over the years. When his adoptive father wanted to see him the most, he did
Missing his last face as an old man made his adoptive father leave with regret. This was not only the regret of his adoptive father, but also the regret of his life.
However, there are more important things waiting for him to do now. After everything is over, he will definitely come back and fully apologize to his adoptive father. The pseudo-Tiandao is about to revive. Once it is completely revived, there will probably be no one left in this world.
'Operation Purification' that can stop it.
Walking out of the mourning hall, Zheng Feng's face was full of haggard, and the silver hair on his earlobes had lost its luster and was dull. After only seven days, he seemed much older.
When Zheng Feng came to the backyard, there were already people sitting quietly under the pavilion where he often used to gather with his adoptive father. They seemed to be looking at the cold stone table in front of him in a daze. On the stone table, there was a chessboard.
, the red and black chess pieces on the chessboard were arranged neatly, without moving a step.
Yang Zhongyuan felt Zheng Feng's arrival, without raising his head, and asked calmly: "When did you wake up?"
"Eight days ago." Zheng Feng replied. Not counting the seven days when he knelt down to express his gratitude at his adoptive father's grave, he rushed back as soon as possible the day after he woke up. Elder Yang was informed by his sister Yatou.
Not only did he ask the girl to inform Elder Yang, but at the same time, Zixuan was also sent back to Qilin Continent to inform Qilin City. Presumably, after Qilin City received the news, it would notify other continents as soon as possible. After all, except Qinglong and Qilin Continent
Besides, he is not familiar with the other three continents.
Zheng Feng no longer intends to conceal the existence of pseudo-Tiandao. Only by announcing its existence to the world can it be completely eliminated. One person's power may play a vital role at the most critical time.
But it cannot directly affect the development of the world.
Therefore, there are some things that he cannot do alone. Even when the Lord of Reincarnation faced the pseudo-Heaven, he combined the power of the five totem beasts to create the opportunity for him today. Moreover, Killing
The pseudo-Tiandao is by no means his fault. The existence of the pseudo-Tiandao is a dangerous cancer to the world, and it also limits the development of their world. As long as the pseudo-Tiandao still exists, their world will always belong to other worlds.
Feeding pens, and the billions of creatures in their world are livestock in the eyes of other upper worlds...
Only by completely eradicating the pseudo-Tiandao can they break through the limitations of the world and see a wider world!
In fact, for notifying Qinglong City, the girl should directly inform her master Mo Xi. However, because of the relationship between his adoptive father and Yang Zhongyuan, Zheng Feng finally asked the girl to notify Yang Zhongyuan first and invite him to come and get together.
"Can you play chess with me?" Yang Zhongyuan asked. After Mr. Fan left, he forgot how long it had been since he had played chess. He still came to this pavilion every year as promised and laid out the chess pieces. There was only a stone chair opposite.
But the figure from before never appeared again.
Zheng Feng sat down silently. It was the stone chair that his adoptive father once sat on. The cold stone slab told him that no one had sat on this stone chair for a long time.
Pei Lin came up with a pot of tea and slowly poured it for the two of them. It was seventy percent full. The wine is full of respect, the tea is full of bullying, and the tea is hot to the touch, so it cannot be filled. This is the first time for Pei Lin to do this kind of thing, but this is
But he didn't know how many times he had heard about the etiquette of playing chess from his grandfather. At that time, his grandfather would serve tea to the two old people every year when they played chess, so he also knew the rules.
Zheng Feng picked up the tea and drank it in one gulp. It still had the same bitter taste as before. It was too bitter to be served on the table. It was just tea drunk by common people, but his adoptive father liked this taste. Zheng Feng asked his adoptive father why, and his adoptive father
But I asked him how he felt. His answer was always bitter, but his adoptive father actually smiled and said that the tea was very sweet. He couldn't figure out why...
Yang Zhongyuan asked: "What does it smell like?"
Zheng Feng was stunned. There had been a time when his adoptive father had always asked him this. Today, he finally understood the meaning of his adoptive father's words and whispered: "It's very sweet."
