"You guessed it then?"
Jiang Fan shook his head: "No, I just thought it was one of the possibilities. It was just confirmed today."
Zhang Qiubeard nodded: "After all, what I do is quite secretive, and I do it mentally or not. It's normal that you can't be sure for a while."
Jiang Fan thought for a while: "There is only one thing, why the Great Xia Bai Ling Army?"
Zhang Qiubeard said: "You also know that they are not the Bai Ling Army."
"Okay, let me ask another question, why do you want to borrow the banner of the Bai Ling Army?"
Zhang Qiubeard said: "First, you were in Daxia at that time, which makes sense. Second, you understand that Zhang Yi can confuse others because of Zhang Yi's eagerness to act. Third, after all, I was born in Chu land, so I have three feelings. "
Jiang Fan couldn't help but smile: "It's so perfect. No wonder they followed me from Nanchu, but didn't take action until I crossed the Wujiang River."
Zhang Qiu’s beard said: “Have you realized this earlier?”
"Not at first. They were very cautious. A large group of soldiers and horses should ambush me in front of me. There were only a few spies following me, so it was not easy to detect. But I am paying attention. I went through so much trouble in Nanchu, how could no one target me? "
"So, even this time I didn't personally control it, but I secretly stirred up some trouble."
"Of course there is no need to show up in person. It is not easy for King Xiang to be so reckless as to be able to wait until Daxia before taking action."
Zhang Qiubeard said in admiration: "King Xiang, you can also guess it. It's rare."
Jiang Fan hesitated: "This is not very technical to say. Years ago, when I first entered southern Xinjiang, I had some trouble with that guy."
Zhang Qiubeard obviously did not expect this, "Is there such a thing?"
"Of course." Jiang Fan sighed: "I know that although this guy looks bold and majestic, he is actually a small-minded person. So, regardless of state affairs or private affairs, he has reasons to take action. But after all, he didn't let go. He probably can't figure me out. Was it the empress who ordered us to go to Nanchu?"
"So what exactly is it?" Zhang Qiubeard was also very interested in this matter.
Jiang Fan curled his lips: "Do you believe me when I say it was purely an accident?"
"Do not believe."
"That's incredible, what else are you talking about?"
Zhang Qiu's beard looked at him: "Although you look calm and careless, you are actually a little monster. How can you believe it?"
Jiang Fan was disdainful: "Speaking of people being judged by their appearance, you, Lao Lao, have a heroic appearance, but you can tolerate it better than Chen Laozuo."
"Don't compare me with that old bastard." Zhang Qiu's beard waved his hand in displeasure.
Jiang Fan laughed and said, "What happened next? Why didn't you continue to take action while I was out?"
Zhang Qiubeard shook his head: "No need, I found that there are too many people who want to kill you, I just want to sit back and enjoy their achievements."
"So, you planned to kill someone with a borrowed knife, so you revealed my whereabouts to those forces."
"Yes, but it's a pity that they, like me, have underestimated you."
Jiang Fan couldn't help but laugh: "No wonder I always felt like there were hands pulling the thread between them."
Zhang Qiubearded: "So, when did you find out that I might be the third pick?"
Jiang Fan said: "First glance."
Zhang Qiu's beard was startled: "First sight?"
"That's right. There are magic weapons on the weapon list, and the Jiuyao Bow ranks among them. This bow fell into bliss a moment ago. Although Uncle Zhang disguised the bow and arrow very well, making it look like an ordinary wooden bow, this magic weapon is It was made by a certain Kunlun world traveler, and the formations on the bow and arrows are from Kunlun's magical skills. Others don't know it, but I happen to be very familiar with it."
"Familiar?" Zhang Qiu's beard was a little moved: "What is your relationship with Kunlun?"
Jiang Fan thought for a while, and finally sighed: "Forget it... I will have another child, so that Uncle Zhang can completely put his mind to rest."
After saying that, he picked up a chess piece and pressed it on a big mountain.
Zhang Qiubeard was finally shocked and couldn't help but stand up and stare at that place.
"...So that's it...That's it!" He looked horrified.
After a long time, he slowly said: "That day, someone wearing linen clothes and sandals came to visit. Although his breath was restrained, my divine bow actually moved. I think..."
Jiang Fan smiled: "That's where the person came from."
Finally, the over-100-year-old man looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, knelt down on one knee and shouted like a bell: "Greetings to the Demon Emperor of the Sky Fox!"
Jiang Fan stood up and helped him up with both hands: "Uncle Zhang, I don't like this. You are a senior. This will shorten my life."
Zhang Qiubeard was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing: "I heard that the new generation of Tianhu is different and independent. The new fox succeeded to the throne and the old fox survived. Even Meng Chanjuan was fine. I was worried that it was just a deliberate act. In short, it seems today that it is indeed different from the previous generations of Tianhu in the past nine hundred years. I must have had other ideas when I was sure about it but didn't take action."
Jiang Fan rubbed his head and smiled: "Times have changed, and some old rules should have been changed long ago. It's boring to have to live and die at every turn. It's great to be the same family."
"No, as Xiao Lang said, time has passed. I had not laid a hand on you at that time, but later I honestly hunted you down. Aren't you ready to send me to death?"
"Do you really want to die that much?" Jiang Fan said with a half-smile.
Zhang Qiu's beard suddenly stared at him: "Now that there are only two of us here, aren't you afraid that I will suddenly get into trouble?"
Jiang Fan shook his head: "You can't do it, and you won't do it. Uncle Zhang, you were just forced to survive. Besides, the fact that you chose to fight me like this this time is enough to show that you are already dead." Kill my thoughts.”
Zhang Qiubeard was silent for a moment: "Yes, speaking of it, I was a little hesitant from the time you ran to Bailuzhou. It wasn't until later, when you met the farmer again, that I finally figured out, why bother? The two of us were originally meant to be farmers. The test stone you prepared, how could Ji Le allow you to really have an accident? And you don't seem to have the intention to take over Ji Le. In fact, from that time on, my thoughts were more on Meng Chanjuan."
"But Uncle Zhang didn't expect that I would eventually take over the position of Tianhu."
"Unexpected or not, fate is like a wheel, and you ended up on this path. It's just that I don't understand. How do you know fishermen and farmers?"
Jiang Fan smiled: "It's all accidents and coincidences."
Seeing that he didn't say anything further, Zhang Qiu's beard stopped asking: "Now that the victory has been decided, the world belongs to young people like you. And it is not easy for you to truly control Bliss. I advise you again, Bliss and Bliss It’s different elsewhere, so it’s best to send Meng Chanjuan and me on our way.”
Jiang Fan still shook his head: "I said, my rules are the rules. Life is not easy. Don't always think about death."
Zhang Qiubeard sighed: "This is the blood and tears of the Shadow Guards for nine hundred years. Do you really not want to abide by it?"
Jiang Fan said: "If you follow the rules, why do you think you are a big monster in the world?"
Zhang Qiubeard actually believed it, "Yes! I have thought this for a long time, but the shadow guard's rules are deeply ingrained and their thoughts are deeply rooted in people's hearts. How can one person change it?"
Jiang Fan smiled: "Everything has a beginning. Instead of starting from others, it's better to start from me."
"Good courage, but...those conservative old people may not think so. You still have a big hurdle to pass."
Jiang Fan nodded: "Uncle Zhang is like this now, I'm afraid they won't fight with the juniors one on one again."
"Victory through unity is inevitable." Zhang Qiubeard believed deeply.
Jiang Fan said: "This junior doesn't want to cause any trouble. It's best to solve it once and for all."
"Are you sure?" Zhang Qiubearded said: "That accounts for at least 30% of the Shadow Guard's strength."
Jiang Fan shook his head: "It's impossible to be completely sure about things in this world, but I have seven points in this matter, which is enough."
Zhang Qiu's beard took off the wooden bow on his back, stroked it and said, "Why don't you let Uncle Zhang get rid of a few stubborn old men for you first?"
Jiang Fan quickly smiled and waved his hand: "No, no, I will make my own decision on this matter."
