The fat man's answer made Du Fei collapse: "What? He died? What do you mean? He couldn't think about it?"
Liu Zhanqin looked at him curiously: "Brother, are you okay? He is almost eighty years old, do you still think he is a young man? He will become an old goblin if he lives again~ By the way? How did you know my father?
Yes? Judging from your age, you don’t look like his friend~ Could it be that you are his old subordinate?”

dividing line
After a while, Du Fei was already lying on the bed in the cabin, staring blankly at the roof of the cabin.
Next to him was Liu Zhanqin who looked confused.
"I said, brother, can you tell me who you are? I've told you everything. You can't hide anything from me."
Du Fei was still just lying there staring at the cabin roof, as if his whole body was frozen.
Just when Liu Zhanqin sighed and was about to leave, Du Fei suddenly asked him: "Is your mother still alive?"
This was something Du Fei had been holding back for a long time without daring to ask.
The reason why he didn't visit anyone after he came out of the mountain was because of Han Ying. This woman had such a profound influence on him.
"My mother~~She~~" Liu Zhanqin looked at Du Fei's sharp eyes and suddenly did not dare to say another word~ He felt that the person on the bed might pounce on him at any time and eat him.
"Forget it~ It's better not to say it~" Du Fei's courage, which he had finally mustered up, suddenly disappeared. He was afraid that he would not be able to face the cruel reality.
Let her live forever~
Then he gradually began to learn the whereabouts of several other people from Liu Zhanqin's mouth. Yu Dayong lived to the age of sixty-four and married a total of eight wives. While riding a horse while drunk, he accidentally fell down and died.
Fei Man was the most accomplished official among them, and eventually became Minister of War. However, he died of illness within a few years of taking office due to overwork in military affairs and sexual intercourse.
Xiang Fei began to plot evil after Du Fei disappeared. He once launched a mutiny in Nanjing in an attempt to occupy half of the country and become a little emperor. However, he was suppressed by Liu Yin without any suspense, and was eventually sentenced to Lingchi.
Qiqige, after Du Fei disappeared, married a prince of the Jurchen tribe, a northern barbarian tribe. From then on, she rode horses with her husband and wore a military uniform for half her life. The Jurchen tribe also became stronger day by day through the efforts of her and the prince.
Miss Liu never married and later became a Buddhist monk. Some people said they saw her in Lan Chao'an, some said she had left long ago and her whereabouts are unknown, and some said she had died long ago.
Pan Ling became the biggest contributor to the resurgence of the Maoshan sect. He developed the Maoshan sect from a precarious situation to one with tens of thousands of disciples all over the world! He was worshiped by successive generations of disciples of the Maoshan sect. When he was sixty years old, he claimed that he would travel all over the world to promote spiritual practice.
No one saw her again.
After hearing these familiar names passing by his ears one by one, Du Fei's body couldn't help but tremble: Yes, it's been so many years, everyone is old, they are all scattered to death, and I am the only monster.
It seems like the thing is still alive~but~what’s the point~
The people and things he comes into contact with are all being ravaged by time~~After a few years, will Hezi and Yoko also leave his place?
Immortality~ turns out to be a very scary thing.
But there are still some people who are so persistent and spend everything they have to pursue~~
He couldn't help but feel lucky for his choice. Fortunately, he didn't choose to stay in that thousand-year-old immortal shell. Otherwise, he would have experienced joys and sorrows many more times than the average person, and the pain of separation between yin and yang.
Liu Zhanqin began to have an inexplicable fear of this naughty senior. For some reason, he always felt that this man had a deep connection with his father, and he was so familiar with everything! Not only his father,
He even knew all about some of his father's old friends! He was a little confused, because it was really difficult to equate the Du Fei in front of him with the word "senior". He seemed to be younger than Liu Zhanqin who stood just past him.
a little.
"Boy, let me ask you~ Are the weapons you sold to Longchuan Yidian really all eliminated by the Ming army?"
"Why am I lying to you~~ To be honest, only this kind of thing is the best to sell~ They can't afford the new fire system~ Because wars are too frequent, those famous people will not be willing to spend big money to buy new fire system equipment
Ashigaru Na may become cannon fodder at any time! Only the price of such second-hand and defective weapons can they accept~" Liu Zhanqin said with a guilty look on his face.
In fact, what Liu Zhanqin said is also true.
When the whole of Japan was under the control of the Muromachi shogunate, the Japanese army could still import arms in batches from the Ming government. However, when the war broke out, no one had the financial resources to continue to import arms.
Instead of spending huge sums of money to buy regular weapons, they bought some homemade guns from some small workshops to replenish their supplies. As the situation worsened, some ashigaru newly recruited by the great masters even lost their armor and weapons.
No, I had to use wooden shields and bamboo spears to make up for it. Not to mention exquisite firearms.
"From now on, just sell those rubbish to me. I will get 20% more money than Longchuan." Du Fei suddenly sat up.
"I don't need you to give me more money. I just want to know what your relationship is with my father. Please tell me immediately!" Liu Zhanqin is obviously not a complete playboy.
Du Fei just said lightly: "As you said~ I am your father's old subordinate."
He found this statement to be the only one that was believable.
"Really?" Liu Zhanqin looked at him again: "Then you are young enough~ You look even younger than me~ I always feel like I have seen you somewhere~~ I just can't remember it now
~~~"
"Oh! That's right!" He suddenly exclaimed: "It's that portrait! I remember my father once showed me a portrait! You look very much like the person in the portrait! But my father told me that it was an acquaintance of his eight times.
Big brother~~ They are exactly the same! Although they look a little older now~"
"Haha~ Did you agree to what I just said?" Du Fei felt quite dumbfounded when he thought that he was working with the son of his old friend.
"Of course I agreed! We are all our own! Besides, I have long been tired of that stingy old flatterer in Longchuan! He is not honest at all! He always cries about poverty and suppresses a batch of my payment! If it weren't for my inconvenience to show up in public
, I have long since found another seller to replace him!" It seems that although Liu Zhanqin did not inherit Liu Yin's courage and martial arts, he obviously inherited his temper.
Du Fei glanced at him and said, "Actually, you look a lot like your father in some ways, really!"
Liu Zhanqin scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "Hey, besides my mother, you are the second person to say this about me~Thank you! But I know my own abilities. If I can't learn literature or martial arts, I can only be like this now.
, I have become a prodigal son. But I still live a comfortable life. I don’t want to be as worried about the world as my father was, always busy with other people’s affairs and with his head in his belt all the time. Didn’t the ancients say that it can be done?
It’s hard work~ I, a good-for-nothing, can only lie under the tree planted by my predecessors to enjoy the cool air~ But I feel at ease now!”
Du Fei suddenly felt that living like him was actually a very happy thing. Indeed, his father lived a much more tiring life than he did.
"Then I'll go back first~ Don't you want to see how I got here? Come out!" Du Fei enthusiastically called Liu Zhanqin out to see his new tricks.
I saw Du Fei concentrating his energy under the astonished eyes of everyone, and violently threw the long sword in his hand! Then he jumped up one by one! Jumping on the long sword all at once!
Everyone was stunned! Some soldiers even knelt down and shouted: "This is a god! Please bless me!"
Liu Zhanqin was speechless for a long time. He wiped the sweat from his head and thought: My father really knows everyone~ Even for such a role, he is his subordinate~~ He is really fierce~
Du Fei was flying excitedly with his sword when suddenly he heard someone shouting below. He looked down and saw that there were several Kansai ships flying the flag of the Ryuzoji family. The people on those ships were looking up in shock.
Looking at him.
Among them was the largest ship, on which sat Nabeshima Naoshima, the current real power holder of Higo Kingdom. He calmly used his telescope to look at Du Fei, who was gradually flying into the distance, and a strange feeling suddenly arose in his heart.
Feeling: This person looks so familiar! It seems like I have seen him before somewhere!
He suddenly remembered the town merchant who often came to deliver coffee to them.
It couldn't be him? He put down the telescope with doubt written all over his face.

dividing line
At the same time, Xiaoban also received unexpected gains.
He closely followed Longchuan Yihui and his party to a valley far away from Hirado. He saw that this valley was full of long weeds as tall as a person, but the surrounding mountains were all bare stone mountains.
There wasn't even a blade of grass growing, which was in sharp contrast to the lush trees at the bottom of the mountain; the valley was unusually quiet, and there wasn't even a rabbit, not to mention people.
Xiaobata saw that the terrain here was not convenient for hiding, so in order to avoid being discovered, he slightly increased the tracking distance.
From a distance, he saw Longchuan Yihuan and his men quietly walking towards the depths of the valley while carrying weapons. He was about to get up and follow, but a cold gun pointed at his back: "Don't move!
Who are you?"
It turns out that there is a secret whistle lurking here! Xiaoban slowly turned around and saw that the man was actually covered in weeds. It seemed that he had been lying in the grass and hiding in secret! No wonder he couldn't notice it at all!
"Who are you?" the sentry asked sternly: "If you don't tell me, I will kill you with one shot!"
"Don't be like this~ I'm just passing by~~ Please don't shoot~" Xiaoban often performs sneak investigation missions, and his adaptability is very strong.
I saw him immediately pretending to be pitiful: "Sir Samurai! I am a businessman, and I was robbed by a group of bandits on the way! The guys were all killed, and I was the only one who escaped with my life~~For
I accidentally ran the wrong way to avoid their pursuit~~" As he spoke, he squeezed out a few tears.
"Oh~! That's how it is!" The sentry was deceived by Xiaobata's extremely infectious performance, but comforted him: "Don't be too pessimistic~ You can still make money after you lose it~~ As long as people are fine! There is a forbidden area ahead, you
It will be dangerous if you go in~ It’s better to go back~”
