Ding Lang's expression changed slightly: "Your Excellency...who is it?"
Jiang Fan said nothing and just drank by himself.
Ding Shaoan looked at him and sighed: "You changed your surname to Ding... but because Prince Bai Fu once used the pseudonym Ding You to study everywhere?"
Ding Lang's expression suddenly changed, and he said sternly: "Who are you?"
Ding Shaoan shook his head: "Third brother, we finally meet. My name is Ding Shaoan, you can also call me Bai An."
Ding Lang was suddenly startled: "Bai...an?"
Ding Shaoan said: "When the Qin State destroyed Chen Dynasty, Prince Bai Fu died in battle. Two of the five sons were alive and dead. One of them was Bai Lang, the third son who was rumored to have died in the palace fire. The second one was the rebel general Xiong in his early years. Bai An, the fourth son kidnapped by General He when he was absconding, is me, your fourth brother."
Ding Lang's body trembled violently, and his pupils suddenly shrank: "That's nonsense! This young master comes from the Bai family with the surname of Wang, but he is not a descendant of the royal family..."
Ding Shaoan's face was complicated, "Third brother, it's unnecessary. In front of him, these little clever things are really bad. I have followed the master for four years and I know more than you."
Ding Lang's eyes fluctuated violently: "You said... you have been following the Lord?"
Ding Shaoan smiled lightly and said: "Yes, I have confessed a long time ago. There is no need for you to hide it. If you want something, it is better to go straight to it. Playing tricks in front of the Lord will only have the opposite effect."
Ding Lang slowly became calm: "You said you are Bai An, what evidence is there?"
Ding Shaoan took out a sheepskin scroll from his arms: "This is a blood letter from the traitorous general. There is also a secret edict from the king's grandfather in it. I think you should have heard of this..."
Ding Lang grabbed it and opened it with trembling fingers. After a long time, he slowly closed his eyes and exhaled a breath.
Wrapping the parchment, he pushed it to Ding Shaoan: "You are indeed alive."
Ding Shaoan nodded: "Third brother, living is good. Living relaxedly is even better."
Ding Lang stared at him for a long time, "So, I want to give up state affairs and join the school of thought."
Ding Shaoan said: "You admit it?"
Ding Lang's face was extremely complicated: "I have been suspicious since I saw your appearance. But I never expected that you would be here, and you are here..."
His words had many meanings, but there was no surprise.
"Alas -" Ding Shao'an sighed: "It seems that we haven't seen each other since we were young, so we lack a foundation for love."
Ding Lang was silent for a moment: "We need time."
Ding Shaoan smiled and nodded: "Yes, it all takes time."
Ding Lang turned his head, faced Jiang Fan, and knelt on his knees: "Ding Lang admits his guilt."
Jiang Fan looked at him: "You are a person who always thinks too much. How can a person who wants to do great things be so clumsy? Ding Lang has an impenetrable mind and cannot achieve success in either work or school. This is why I have been hesitating. The reason is, it’s a pity that you haven’t understood it even though I gave you the opportunity several times.”
Ding Lang's shoulders were trembling a little, and he bowed deeply, "Ding Lang knows his mistake... It seems that I missed this opportunity again. What can I say?"
Jiang Fan suddenly interrupted him: "Ding Lang, look at me."
Ding Lang was startled, then raised his head to meet Jiang Fan's gaze, and saw that there was something cold and deep in that gaze.
"As long as you remember one thing, I can give it to you and take it back. If you don't cherish it when I give it to you, I will charge huge interest when you take it back."
The killing intention was obvious, but Ding Lang showed an expression of incredible surprise and kowtowed heavily: "Thank you, Lord!"
Jiang Fan smiled slightly: "You're welcome. I just hope that one day I won't deal with you personally."
Ding Lang glanced sideways at Ding Shaoan, and then said solemnly: "Ding Lang is definitely not thinking about restoring the country. However, Ding Lang has been taught by the prince and is willing to confide in his heart. Lang... has an idea to enter the court and guard Chenzhou. "
Jiang Fan was a little surprised: "You want Chen Zhoumu?"
Ding Lang said loudly: "The Chen State was instigated by the imperial court in the beginning, and it has just become incompatible with the Qin State. If we talk about enemies, the imperial court is the one. Lang was born in Chen, and his ancestral home is in Chen. He does not seek anything else, but he wants to be the first people of Chen. Do more things to make up for the Bai family's sins of causing the people to suffer from war and chaos."
At this moment, a radiance surged from his body, which was quite majestic, and Jiang Fan couldn't help but feel moved by it.
Could it be that... this man is like a field mole, using all kinds of tricks and cunning just for a beautiful idea?
After staring at Ding Lang for a long time, Jiang Fan's eyes showed a deep light.
"If that's the case... you should do one thing first, Zajia, I don't want them to jump again and again."
After that, he threw the wine bottle to Ding Shaoan, stood up and walked towards the cabin: "I am sleepy, no one should disturb me, you brothers, gather together by yourselves."
After he left, Ding Lang stood up and sat down cross-legged facing Ding Shaoan. His eyes were looking at the wine bottle.
The two faced each other, but their eyes did not intersect, and they were even more silent.
After a long time, Ding Lang slowly said: "You guys, want a bottle of wine?"
Ding Shaoan was holding the wine bottle and pouring it into his mouth. When he heard this, he stopped holding the wine bottle and slowly put down the wine bottle, "I've been drinking for a long time."
Ding Lang said: "Seriously let go?"
Ding Shaoan said: "Facing this kind of person, if you don't let go, is there a better way?"
Ding Lang said: "You can seek foreign aid. Xionghe has left a lot of inheritance for you, so you have bargaining chips."
Ding Shaoan laughed: "Forget it, you haven't been to Lishan, so you don't know what this means. But you should have met this person. I think to myself, there is no hope at all."
Ding Lang stared at him: "I'm afraid not only is there no hope, but you are also hopeless."
Ding Shaoan smiled: "Yes, you don't have to pretend, you already know me. That's why he said you are too thoughtful."
Ding Lang did not deny it: "I have been paying attention to you since the first news about him appeared in the world. Naturally, I will also keep an eye on you when you are around him."
"Oh? So, you found out very early that I might be the fourth child?"
Ding Lang looked at his eyes strangely: "These peach blossom eyes are rare."
Ding Shaoan also looked at him: "That's right. These peach blossom eyes make you less heroic."
Ding Lang chuckled: "Fourth brother...I have heard that you are a bit slippery, and now it seems that it is indeed the case."
Ding Shaoan thought for a while: "It wasn't the case before, but then I met him and changed."
"My thoughts also changed after meeting him?"
Ding Shaoan nodded: "Yes, in this world, there is him, there is Ying Wushuang, there is Fengchen, there is Gu Qingshan, there is Xiang Chen, there is Yu Qingcheng, there is Sima Ji, all heroes, if we put them in history, everyone can Only people like them are qualified to compete for the top spot in the ruling generation. If you and I insist on getting involved, we will become a foil in the history books in the future. To a large extent, we will become villains, or we may not be able to survive."
He sighed, but Ding Lang didn't refute, only his eyes were calm.
"The old guy Shi Jiao finally had something right. Despite the storms and changes in the world, I will stick to my true heart. I will have no complaints whether I succeed or fail. I will be a hero in life and death." Ding Lang said slowly.
