The empress was also surprised, but quickly calmed down: "It's surprising to be true, but I have already suspected it. I once saw a tablet enshrining him in a remote village. According to the village elder, it has been enshrined for more than two hundred years, so , this person is definitely not young, but I never expected that he is the number one in the world."
Jiang Fan smiled bitterly: "You even hid it from me. The old guy is not a good person. And I didn't expect that his cultivation was so powerful. As an old demon, you don't know how scary the scene was at that time."
The empress said: "When we were at Qingfeng Gorge, I felt that he was a great threat to me, but that was just an intuition, very vague."
Jiang Fan thought for a while and said curiously: "Tell me, between him and Xuanyuan Bu Sheng, who is the best in the world?"
The empress shook her head: "Xuanyuan Fusheng and I have never fought before, so it's hard to judge. But Mr. Sun, he hides too deeply and seems... unwilling to take action."
Jiang Fan also felt this way about Sun Daotong, but he didn't know why.
After a long while, Jiang Fan sighed: "Even if the old guy is so powerful, there is still nothing he can do about Xiao Nuomi."
The empress said: "But fortunately, we have found the person and found clues to the Ling Sect. There is finally hope."
Jiang Fan nodded: "This game with Poppy also resulted in nameless disfigurement, but I only gained so much..."
The empress shook her head: "It's more than that. You and Poppy took advantage of each other. Even though you couldn't do anything to her because of Xiao Nuomi, you even helped her deal with those gangs, which also caused Poppy to take charge of the Yu family, but you didn't spoil her either. No. The Ziyang Sect has been drained by you, and it has given you a chance to deal with the Zheng family, and you even got help from the Thousand Buddhas Temple, which is great."
Jiang Fan was actually only reluctantly satisfied. After all, he always felt a little regretful about this trip.
But how can things in this world always go as one wishes? As the empress said, it is almost acceptable.
"This journey went really fast, but in the end, Wei State was the first to target the Human Emperor's canonization."
Jiang Fan briefly talked about what happened in Wei State and wanted to hear the empress' opinion on the matter of fiefdom.
"Wei was the first to bear the brunt. It's not surprising that he took the lead. What's strange is you. You shouldn't have reacted so early. So is Cao Zijian really so important?"
Jiang Fan pondered for a moment: "You know, although he is not the only reason, Cao Zijian is indeed useful to me."
"A repeat of what happened to Jin?"
Jiang Fan suddenly looked at her: "No, if I tell you that I want to create another queen... what do you think?"
The empress was not surprised at all and just smiled slightly: "Cao Ying is a little too affectionate."
Jiang Fan said calmly: "Isn't it a good thing?"
The empress said: "You make up your own mind, but Cao Zijian may not be able to guess your thoughts. Although this person is indecisive, he is not without talent, but he just doesn't realize it at the moment."
Jiang Fan said: "Cao Laoer actually just wants to save his life. He is not suitable to be a king. If he knew my thoughts, he might not agree with me, but he would definitely not agree with me interfering in the affairs of Wei State. In terms of home country, he can Don’t give in even an inch. So, I can’t let him see my intentions clearly now.”
"So, you will fully support him in public?"
"Yes, but the things behind this are actually Xiaohong's."
The empress looked at her strangely: "You may think too easily. It is unrealistic to want to peacefully transform Wei State. I'm afraid we will end up going to war."
Jiang Fan sighed softly: "You have to try your best."
The empress shook her head: "It is impossible for people to take into account their emotions and state affairs at the same time. It will do no good for you to be so entangled."
Jiang Fan also knew it, but he was also helpless. He really didn't want to see Xiaohong on the battlefield in the future. By then, where would his personal emotions go in the face of national events?
The empress knew that he needed time and did not discuss this issue too much. Let's talk about the fiefdom instead.
"The King of Wei was worried that the Qin State would use this to directly expand its territory. Without the buffer zone in the middle, the two sides would have a seamless border. This is not what he wants to see."
"But it's what you want to see, and for you, the time is almost here."
"The strategy of making distant friends and attacking closely is correct to a certain extent. Wei is too close to me, and with its restriction in front of me, it is difficult for me to let go of my hands to explore distant places. But you..."
She looked at Jiang Fan: "Obviously we need to extend this time."
Jiang Fan did not refute. He had already made up his mind when he decided to accept this fiefdom. It would take at least a while to try out his idea. Although the possibility was extremely low, he didn't expect it to be completely successful, but it would be good if he could reduce the number of battles and killings.
"Without war in the first five-year plan, I don't know if you can still agree with me."
"Three years have passed. You have proved many things, but you cannot prove that it is possible to leave the war. You have long realized that the world is coming. I can only tell you that extending the front line may reduce the killing, but it will not It will change the facts, and it will not reduce hatred.”
Jiang Fan looked at her: "That's right, but I understand that you also want to conquer the Wei State at the lowest possible cost, and you also hope to have a Wei State that is not so riddled with holes."
The empress nodded: "This is actually the limit of what you can achieve with your current method. I am willing to try it. You can go ahead and do it. I can at least promise you that the first five-year plan will still go as you wish. .Unless someone offends me first.”
Jiang Fan nodded: "That's enough."
The empress said: "What you have to face now is how to organize your fiefdom. Paradise City is the first level you have to face."
Jiang Fan sighed slowly: "Be honest?"
The empress said: "It's time for some things, and there's no point in hiding them any longer."
Jiang Fan looked at her: "To be honest, when did you start doubting Paradise City?"
The empress said: "The first time I entered the city, Ji Le's reaction to you was very strange. But it couldn't support my suspicion, and it didn't even let me think in that direction. It wasn't until later that I discovered that you had a huge and sophisticated spy system. System, I started to pay attention now, but you understand, I said I wouldn’t investigate you, so I definitely wouldn’t, but I couldn’t stop my intuition, but at that time I still thought you were just a high-ranking member of Bliss.”
The empress was silent for a moment and continued: "Later, as you began to make arrangements in the Qin State, some things gradually unfolded. There were more things, and the authority you used became more and more beyond the normal scope. Moreover, you seemed to be deliberately showing something, and many people were involved. After being transferred from Paradise to the Mortal Residence and Lishan Mountain, I had to think so. But I am really surprised that a young man like you can actually become this generation of Sky Fox."
Jiang Fan let out a long sigh: "I finally spoke out, and I feel a lot more enlightened."
The empress looked a little complicated: "I always feel that you intentionally let me see all of this, including the last trip to Cangshan and Green Valley. I am 100% sure that it was a battle for the Sky Fox. And you won in the end."
