Forget it, everyone has their own understanding, and there is no point in imposing it on others. Jiang Fan didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, and instead became curious about why Lin Zhaoji suddenly found him and wanted to talk alone.
To be honest, he was a little worried. It wouldn't be embarrassing if he talked about that unnecessary marriage.
Fortunately, Lin Zhaoji didn't mention this at all. Instead, they talked about Jiang Fan's meeting with Old Master Yan.
"I don't understand what you said to the Master to make him admire you so much."
Jiang Fan was stunned for a moment: "I see that everyone knows what Master said."
Lin Zhaoji looked at him: "A teacher's words are indeed inspiring and can be regarded as a teacher for generations. But it has nothing to do with the overall situation of the world. What I care about is what you talked about in private."
"The overall situation of the world?" Jiang Fan smiled slightly: "Why do you think the Master and I will talk about this."
Lin Zhaoji said: "Master spent most of his life traveling across the five kingdoms, hoping to unify the country through Confucianism and Taoism. Although he has now returned to the literary world, he has always regarded the world as his own responsibility and has never given up for a moment his long-cherished wish to unify the world. And you are the Wu Kingdom. One of the representative figures in troubled times, I can't think of anything else that two strangers could talk about when they meet."
Jiang Fan smiled softly: "I am also a scholar, can't I talk about literature?"
Lin Zhaoji didn't believe it: "Although you are a scholar, the timing of your visit to Wenqiu was too sensitive. And after you visited Wenqiu, the master who originally advocated ordering the elders and younger ones suddenly changed his mind and spoke words of virtue. You think this is normal ?”
"So, what you want to know most is what role I played in this battle for the inheritance, or by extension, you want to know what I am planning for the Jin Kingdom."
"Yes." Lin Zhaoji did not deny it: "As a Jin person, how dare I not serve my family and country. But what you did is beyond my understanding. You single-handedly overturned the battle for the right to inherit the throne, and you must have caused trouble to the Jin country. But he also led a medical team to rescue the people of Jin. The two contradicted each other, and Zhaoji was puzzled."
Jiang Fan looked at her: "It's not suitable for you to think about this, because the starting point of your consideration of the problem is that it is absolutely impossible for you to look at the problem from the perspective of people like us. It is useless to ask, so why add trouble to it."
Lin Zhaoji didn't force it. She lowered her head and thought for a while, then raised her eyelids and looked at him: "Master... I hope you can become the next generation of literary saints."
Jiang Fan was stunned for a moment: "How do you know?"
Lin Zhaoji said: "Master likes my father's disciple very much."
"I actually like it to this extent..." Jiang Fan was also a little surprised.
"Well, Master did say this, but in my opinion, it was more like a casual mention."
"No!" Lin Zhaoji shook her head: "I know Master, he never jokes."
Jiang Fan suddenly laughed: "Then you don't really understand Master."
"However, you do have the dignity of a noble scholar." Lin Zhaoji said seriously.
"I have never seen anyone as knowledgeable and talented as you, and your literary skills are unparalleled in ancient times. Master is not wrong about this. But is Master Master like me, I don't understand you as a person?"
Jiang Fan spread his hands: "What can't you see here?"
"I can't see clearly. There seems to be no overlap between the you I thought you were and the real you. There are so many phantoms on you that I can't tell what reality is."
Jiang Fan said: "That's because you have looked at Jiang with a dirty look from the beginning."
"You mean I'm biased?"
"Preconceived prejudice." Jiang Fan did not deny it.
Lin Zhaoji pondered for a while: "It seems a little bit, I used to think you were a hungry ghost in lust..."
Unexpectedly, she admitted this to herself, so Jiang Fan had no choice but to laugh: "I'm afraid this is the only thing you got right."
Lin Zhaoji shook her head and fell into deep thought.
"So, you have no idea about Wenqiu?"
After a long while, she looked at Jiang Fandao.
Jiang Fan shook his head: "I'm a carefree person. I can't stand Wen Qiu's restrictions, and I'm not used to the restricted literati etiquette. I would have to think so hard to do this."
"What if it is of great use to you in managing Qin?" Lin Zhaoji asked persistently.
"Haha, you are overthinking it. The Qin State is very martial but not literary. If you ask them to educate the world, it would be better to let them conquer the world with a knife."
Lin Zhaoji frowned slightly, "You are right, but the Jin State respects Wenqiu's opinion..."
Jiang Fan waved his hand: "That is your Jin State's business. The Qin State has been passively defending these years. How has it ever taken the initiative to attack cities and seize territory? There are some things that you worry about too early."
Lin Zhaoji was obviously not satisfied with his answer, but finally stopped asking any more questions.
Jiang Fan didn't want to bring up these sensitive topics, so he changed the subject directly and asked about the matter that he was very concerned about. What did Xie Wangsun see in the handsome old man?
Unexpectedly, this question actually made Lin Zhaoji ponder for a long time, and this attitude surprised Mr. Jiang. Lin Zhaoji obviously knew something, at least more than that stupid dude Sima Tutu knew.
Lin Zhaoji was surprised that Jiang Fan knew about this, but then it became clear when she thought about his relationship with Taibai Ju. But he still didn't want to answer Jiang Fan's question.
Jiang Fan had no choice but to say: "The two countries are at war, and Taibaiju is on the battlefield. I cannot care less if Wangsun Xie mentions this matter at this time."
This reason is a bit reluctant. War is war, and protecting the road is protecting the road. Lin Zhaoji does not think there is an inevitable connection between them.
Jiang Fan said seriously: "Taibaiju doesn't want to get involved with any force. What Xie Wangsun mentioned is a bit overwhelming. If you don't tell me the reason, I will probably stop it. If necessary..."
There was even a hint of fierceness in his eyes: "You know, I am not a merciful person. If it is not convenient for Taibai Ju to do it, I may not do it."
Lin Zhaoji looked shocked. She didn't expect Jiang Fan to defend Taibaiju so much.
"The Xie family is a famous family in our Jin country. I hope you won't do anything bad to him."
Lin Zhaoji hesitated for a long time and said, obviously he was very worried about Mr. Jiang's trouble-making behavior.
Jiang Fan said: "Everyone knows my fate with Taibai Ju. I am just concerned about whether this move will harm Taibai Ju. As for Prince Xie, I don't care."
Lin Zhaoji, a talented woman in the literary world, was quite familiar with the fate of Jiang Fan and Taibai in that poetry position, so she didn't have too many doubts about others.
After thinking carefully, he answered Jiang Fan's question.
But the answer surprised Jiang Fan extremely.
The root cause actually lies in Beiming Old Immortal. Few people know that Xie Wangsun is actually the proud disciple of the Beiming Old Immortal who is as famous as the White-robed Jiuxian.
The most famous skill of Beiming Laoxian, called Beiming Sky Swallowing Skill, was the skill of Chen Laobi, the original Canglan water bandit.
Jiang Fan didn't seriously want to kill Chen Laojun for a long time because he was wondering whether his origin was related to the evil Beiming Old Immortal. It was not until later that it was determined that Chen Laozuo was his abandoned disciple, and he was kicked out of the master by Beiming Laoxian very early. After getting this news, Jiang Fan killed Chen Laobei.
