Chapter 683 Harnessing the Storm in the Storm
After Pei Yunjin left, the empress looked at him: "He is very considerate, but too emotional."
Jiang Fan sighed softly: "Isn't this me..."
"Yes, this is you..."
After Pei Yunjin left, Jiang Fan and his wife moved to the rooftop to continue roasting sheep and drinking wine.
Linjiang Pavilion stayed up all night and was brightly lit. Jiang Fan looked at the shadows on the river in the distance and said, "They all pretend to look alike. If I hadn't been reminded by the fake Ten Directions Magic Array, I might as well have been deceived by them."
The empress said: "You can't tell from a distance, they all look like merchants and fishermen."
Jiang Fan smiled: "In the section of Linjiang Pavilion, although the river surface is wide, it is full of rapids and dangerous reefs. Few people choose to fish at night. Besides, the merchant ships that arrive at Linjiang Pavilion at this time are usually resting at the pier in front.
Unless you are a novice, it is difficult for a merchant ship to sail at this time. At first glance, it seems nothing, but if you think about it carefully, it doesn’t seem right.”
The empress said: "It seems that your opponent is not easy this time."
Jiang Fan said embarrassedly: "This time it was purely aimed at me, but it made you suffer."
The empress cut off a piece of mutton and dipped it lightly in the sauce: "I thought you would tell me to go back first."
"I wanted to say it, but it was useless to think about it later."
"You know the truth."
Jiang Fan laughed: "My wife's temper..."
The empress said: "You've been in trouble following me, so it's my turn."
Jiang Fan joked: "People say that husband and wife are like birds in the same forest. They fly separately when disaster strikes. I didn't expect that we are quite strong."
The empress said while eating: "There is a real couple."
Jiang Fan said: "You never care about fame. Reality is enough."
The empress looked at him: "But you still can't hold it in, what do you want to say?"
Jiang Fan said slowly: "Yes...you have a different identity. If something goes wrong, the price will be too high. It's best not to take the risk. It's not worth it."
"Is it more risky than Zhan Luyi?"
Jiang Fan thought for a while: "Maybe, Lu Yai is just one person, and you are fighting in an open battle, there are not so many conspiracies."
The empress said: "It seems that the opponent this time is really not easy, and you are not sure about it. In this case, why don't you return to Yangdu?"
Jiang Fan said: "As I said just now, you can't escape the first grade of junior high school, but you can't escape the fifteenth grade. This showdown will eventually come."
"So, do you think we should just solve it when we have enough time and it's most controllable?"
"Well, if the other party chooses a very passive moment, it will be very troublesome."
The empress waved her hand and said decisively: "Then let's solve it."
Jiang Fan understood that there was no point in telling her about danger, going back, etc. The Empress wouldn't understand what danger was? No matter how dangerous it was, would it be as dangerous as the five thunder strikes?
It's just that I don't think about it in my heart. Once the empress makes a mistake, who knows how long the world of the Five Kingdoms will be in chaos.
But there are people in this world who are born in storms and prefer to ride them.
While he was deep in thought, he suddenly heard the empress say: "You must be targeting yourself in this way. You should know who is causing the trouble."
Jiang Fan smiled bitterly: "Madam, you can probably guess it, right?"
The empress said: "You just mentioned that Pei Yunjin has been to Paradise."
Jiang Fan sighed, knowing that any clues would make the empress think a lot.
"Yes, it should be bliss."
The empress said: "When I went to Qingyun, you insisted on passing through Paradise, and many things happened in Paradise City. It was very strange. I thought Paradise City was your help."
Jiang Fan pondered for a moment and looked at the empress seriously: "I even said that I have my source of intelligence, so you have always suspected that Ji Le is related to me."
The empress nodded: "But I have not investigated this matter."
Jiang Fan believed that if the empress acted like this, she would no longer be her. She has the title of emperor and has the heart of an emperor, so she would not do such a private investigation to make him unhappy.
"Aren't you curious about my relationship with Bliss?"
The empress said: "You once said that everyone should have their own privacy."
"Atmosphere." Jiang Fan couldn't help but raise his thumb.
Paradise City, the world's top espionage force, is coveted by the five countries, but no one can control it. For such a huge and important place, the empress can treat it calmly, which really makes Jiang Fan admire her very much.
"I'd better say it myself. I'm glad someone is helping me, but there are also people who want to kill me. This time it's the part that doesn't like me."
The empress looked very calm: "Then kill them."
Jiang Fan was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but said: "You don't want to know the reason? Why are some people helping and others harming them?"
The empress disagreed: "What do you think my temple is like?"
Jiang Fan chuckled, indeed, there are rivers and lakes everywhere.
Suddenly his eyes moved and he looked at the empress who was eating meat and drinking leisurely. She just said - my temple?
…
"What you should consider is that although you have sufficient reasons to decide the outcome, the other party must also have their own ideas when choosing this world."
The empress reminded.
"I understand this." Jiang Fan didn't know that the opposition forces in Paradise City had finally started to take action, so they must be fully prepared. It was probably the best time for them.
"Everyone feels that the time is right, and the key lies in the game. I think they have already made a lot of chess pieces, and we have passively given away many moves to others. The chess moves made by giving up pieces will not be easy to play."
"So I think there is no such thing as the best time. The best thing is to be prepared for adversity at any time."
Jiang Fan deeply agreed.
"The most terrifying thing is how many seeds they laid in advance."
The empress said calmly: "You don't like to take the initiative in everything, and this is the consequence. People related to you may not be in danger at this moment."
Taking the initiative... Jiang Fan was disappointed. Indeed, this was a huge character shortcoming. He thought more than once that he was different from the past, when he could feed himself alone and the whole family was not hungry. Nowadays, there are too many people who are related to him, and it is difficult to be alone.
.
Therefore, this time, the other party actually forced him to fight back again. It was as if the empress did not even mention avoiding fighting. It was not just a matter of character. She understood very well that since the other party made a move, Jiang Fan considered that he might be involved.
People can only fight head on. We can only hope that everything can still come in time.
However, Jiang Fan knew that this time he originally planned to visit Zhang Zaifu, but he realized something was wrong when he arrived at Qingfeng Gorge. Therefore, it is very likely that no one expected that he would bring the empress with him, which turned out to be a variable.
"They didn't expect that you and I would be traveling together, and maybe they don't know that the person next to me is actually you."
"The person who reminded you knows it, and they may not know it either."
"You just finished the battle with Lu Yai. Many people thought that your vitality was severely damaged and you would definitely return to Qin. Besides, as the lord of Qin, you couldn't possibly put aside state affairs and go out for a walk, so it was normal for them not to think so."
"What if my vitality is severely damaged and this is also their reason?"
