Xun Gun led them to the living room. At this time, Xun Gun slowly sized up Fan Xing. Unlike Xun You and Xun Yu, Xun Gun had lived for more than thirty years. He was more knowledgeable than Xun You and Xun Yu in recognizing people. He could sense that Fan Xing already had the temperament of a superior. Although it was not very obvious, it was a great thing for a child who was only a teenager and did not have the status of a royal family.
This kind of temperament could be innate or acquired. Innate was like Fan Xing. His smile was very infectious and gave people a kind feeling, making people unconsciously attracted to him. After the birth, one would have to go through continuous tempering to make the whole person mature and gradually form his own charisma. When Fan Xing was still Lin Feng, he had been tempering himself in school and at work. The death of his parents made him more independent and mature. During the years of exploring ancient culture and history, he had also experienced hardships. Therefore, it was understandable that Fan Xing could produce such temperament under the circumstances of congenital conditions and acquired tempering.
Fan Xing gave Xun Gun a very good first impression. Then, in the conversation between Fan Xing, Xi Zhicai, Xun You, and Xun Yu, he had a higher evaluation of Fan Xing.
Xun You and Xun Yu were interested in Fan Xing. After everyone was seated, they immediately said to Fan Xing,""I heard from Mr. Xi that Brother Fan is knowledgeable and has new ideas. I wonder if you can share them with everyone?”Fan Xing knew that they wanted to test him and said,""I dare to be so knowledgeable. It's just some of my thoughts. If Brother Xun has anything to ask, I'll definitely tell you everything I know.”
"What do you think of the world today, Brother Fan?" Xun You asked immediately.”After saying that, he looked at Fan Xing with a burning gaze. Fan Xing did not stand on ceremony. He replied," Right now, the government is controlled by Zhongjuan and his relatives. Both sides are fighting openly and secretly, causing the court to be in chaos. The Emperor is not concerned with government affairs. He is greedy for pleasure and is dissolute. Local officials collect exorbitant taxes. Coupled with the continuous natural disasters, the people are starving, naked, and complaining. The people are in dire straits.”Fan Xing paused and looked at the three people from the Xun family. Seeing that the three of them had expressions of admiration, he continued,""These are not the most serious things." He paused and looked at the crowd, only to see that other than the Xun trio, Xi Zhicai, and Huang Chengyan, who had their heads lowered and were deep in thought, the rest had puzzled expressions.
"I don't know if you know Zhang Jiao," Fan Xing said in a low voice.”"Ah!" Guo Jia immediately said when he heard Zhang Jiao. I know that this person founded the Path of Peace to treat the common people. The common people call him the Great Virtuous Teacher. My pills were also given to me by the people of the Path of Peace.”After saying that, he seemed to have understood something and lowered his head to ponder. Hearing Guo Jia's words, Fan Xing snorted coldly and said,""Humph! Cure the people? Zhang Jiao used the little tricks he learned to deceive the honest people and asked them to join the religion. He told them that as long as they were sincere, they would be cured. If they were cured, it would be the result of sincerity. If they were not cured, it would be insincerity. In this way, the people could only believe in the Taiping Road under the pressure of the government. Now, the followers of the Taiping Road had spread all over the country.”Speaking of this, the three members of the Xun family, Xi Zhicai, and Huang Chengyan all understood. They looked at Fan Xing in disbelief and said,""Are you saying that the Path of Peace might rebel?”Fan Xing nodded and said firmly," It's not possible. It's definitely possible."”
The three of them finally understood why Xi Zhicai had acknowledged this boy, who was only in his teens, as his lord. Fan Xing's vision was so distant and so thorough, as if everything was in his grasp. He had analyzed the situation of the world so thoroughly. "Then why didn't Brother Fan report this matter to the court?" Xun Yu asked Fan Xing anxiously.”Fan Xing was not surprised that Xun Yu would do this. After all, he had been influenced by the tradition of the Han Dynasty since he was young. He was devoted to the Han Dynasty. Now that the Han Dynasty was facing such a great disaster, he was naturally anxious. Fan Xing looked straight at Xun Yu and said,"Brother Xun, do you think it's useful for me to report this to the court?" Do you really think that only I, Fan Xing, know about the Road of Peace and that no one in the court knows?”Xun Yu didn't know what to say. No matter how chaotic and unbearable the court was, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse. How could the people in the court not know about the Road of Peace? Xun Yu could not help but feel a little disheartened when he thought of this.
Fan Xing saw that Xun Yu seemed to be a little disheartened by the Han Dynasty. Suddenly, he had an idea and thought,""Although Xun Yu was influenced by the traditional thinking of the Han Dynasty, he is still only in his teens. His thinking can still be changed. Why don't I give him some thought first?”As Fan Xing thought about it, he unconsciously put on that evil smile again, and Xun Yu suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
Fan Xing began his "bewitching" plan again. He said to Xun Yu," Brother Xun, you don't have to worry. The rebellion of the Path of Peace will definitely not succeed. Although the Path of Peace is very powerful and has many followers, they will definitely suppress the imperial court at the beginning of the uprising. After all, they have the advantage in numbers. Coupled with the people's faith and enthusiasm for the Path of Peace, they will definitely be able to break through like a hot knife through butter. However, the imperial court can let the local governments organize their own troops to resist the rebellion of the Path of Peace. When the imperial court has calmed down and organized an effective defense, they can start to fight back against the Path of Peace. After all, the people of the Path of Peace are just the people. In the beginning, it was not a problem to deal with those lazy city guards with faith and enthusiasm. However, when they encountered a real army, they were no match for them. In addition, as time passed, the enthusiasm of the people would gradually fade. In the end, they would be even less of a match. It was just that they would have to suffer again.”Fan Xing's words shocked Xun Yu even more. Fan Xing's opinion also deeply shocked Xun Yu, leaving a shadow of Fan Xing in Xun Yu's heart. Not only Xun Yu was shocked, but the others were also shocked. Guo Jia looked at Fan Xing with admiration. Although Guo Jia was knowledgeable and quick-witted, he was still a child. Children would admire powerful people in any aspect.
Fan Xing saw that his plan of bewitching had taken effect, so he continued,""Actually, the rebellion of the Road of Peace isn't a cause for concern. After all, it won't cause any big waves. What I'm worried about is those outsiders.”He paused for a moment. Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, he continued," The imperial court is corrupt now. If the Road of Peace continues to rebel, the local powers will be strengthened, and the imperial court will be unable to control them. When the warlords rise up and fight for the Central Plains, the world will be in chaos. When we have internal strife, the foreign races will definitely develop their own strength. When the time comes, the foreign races will attack us again, and the people of Hua Xia will become slaves of the foreign races.”Everyone was shocked by Fan Xing's words again. Fan Xing's image in Xun Yu's heart became even clearer.
Xun Yu still had a glimmer of hope as he said to Fan Xing,""Those foreign races have always considered themselves as officials of the Great Han Dynasty, so they shouldn't come to invade, right?”Fan Xing rudely broke Xun Yu's fantasy and said,""Won't invade? Then why do they often pillage and kill our Chinese people at the border of You, Ji, and Bing? Our Chinese culture has a long history, and our land is vast and fertile.”"What should we do then?" Xun Yu asked anxiously. We must find a way to stop the civil strife.”Fan Xing shook his head helplessly." That's impossible. The only way is to end the civil strife as soon as possible after it happens. We need to unite the people of Hua Xia and fight against the enemy."”
Hearing Fan Xing say " Chinese people " again, smart people knew why Fan Xing emphasized it. Xun Yu was the smartest among smart people, so he certainly understood. However, the traditional thoughts of the Han Dynasty in his heart were still resisting. At first, when Fan Xing said " Han people " as " Chinese people ", Xun Yu frowned and was a little unhappy. But later, when Fan Xing talked about the situation of Han, Xun Yu didn't feel disgusted when he mentioned " Chinese people ". He was only thinking about it.
Fan Xing knew that Xun Yu had been moved by him, so he planned to give Xun Yu another heavy blow."" In fact, the times are constantly improving. We have to keep improving in order to live a better life. If we are stuck in our own way and do not think about moving forward, we will be drowned by the tide of history. We cannot and do not have the ability to stop the progress of the times. In that case, we can only change ourselves and make ourselves improve to adapt to the new era.”After saying that, Fan Xing looked deeply at Xun Yu.
Xun Yu was greatly shocked by Fan Xing's words. He was shocked by Fan Xing's advanced thinking. The others were the same. Except for Zhao Yun and the others who had followed Fan Xing for a long time, the others looked at Fan Xing with a complicated expression of surprise, admiration, and happiness.
Fan Xing felt that it was enough, so he stood up and said to Xun Gun,""It's getting late. We should return to the inn.”Xun Gun immediately stood up and replied,"Nephew Fan, you and Wen Ruo have such a good conversation. Why don't you rest here? There's no need to return to the inn."”When Fan Xing heard that Xun Gun wanted to keep him here to rest, he was slightly stunned. He quickly recovered and was very happy because after staying in the Xun family, it would be convenient for him to "brainwash" Xun Yu. However, he still declined on the surface,"That's not very good." Xun Yu did not wait for Xun Gun to speak and replied,""It doesn't matter. Besides, Wen Ruo still has many questions to ask Brother Fan.”Fan Xing immediately replied,""Since that's the case, we'll disturb you.”Just like that, Fan Xing and the others stayed in the Xun family.
After staying in the Xun family for a few days, Fan Xing chatted with Xun Yu's uncle and nephew, Guo Jia, and Xi Zhicai all day long. Their relationship was getting better and better, especially Guo Jia. He was the closest to Fan Xing in age and had been saved by Fan Xing. These days, he would practice the "Tai Chi" taught by Fan Xing every morning. He also did morning exercises with Fan Xing. In addition, Guo Jia's thinking was more agile than others and could accept new things better. Fan Xing often taught him some modern knowledge. Guo Jia could also quickly accept and learn. Now Fan Xing already regarded Guo Jia as a modern person, so Guo Jia and Fan Xing's relationship was the best.
On this day, Fan Xing and Guo Jia had just finished their morning exercise and returned to the hall to eat breakfast. They saw that everyone was already waiting for them. After greeting them, they sat down at the table with Guo Jia. Xun Yu and his nephew were very happy to see Guo Jia doing morning exercises with Fan Xing these days. He looked much better than before and his face was much ruddy. Xun Yu said,"Brother Guo, you look much better these few days. Congratulations.”Guo Jia was also happy about this. He looked at Fan Xing and said,""This is all thanks to Brother Fan. My illness hasn't acted up these past few days. If it wasn't for Brother Fan, I might still be suffering.”After saying that, he bowed to Fan Xing. Fan Xing put a hand on Guo Jia's shoulder and pretended to be angry."Do you still need to say these polite words between you and me?”Guo Jia was deeply moved by Fan Xing's affectionate gesture and said with a smile,"No need, hehe."
Xun Yu's uncle and nephew were also very pleased to see Guo Jia's happy appearance. When they first met Guo Jia, they were surprised by his talent. Xun Yu's uncle and nephew saw that Guo Jia had such talent at such a young age and sighed, so they invited him back to the Xun family. However, Guo Jia often had to endure the torture of illness. Every time Xun Yu's uncle and nephew saw Guo Jia's pale face due to illness, they often thought,"The heavens are truly jealous of geniuses." Now that Guo Jia was no longer suffering from illness, she was naturally very happy.
Xun Yu and his nephew also had a deep understanding of Fan Xing in these days. The more they understood, the more they were attracted by Fan Xing. Fan Xing's unheard of things and advanced ideas were deeply attracted to them. When Fan Xing talked about the Three Provinces and Six Ministries System, Xun Yu was even more excited. They had completely fallen into a vortex called "Fan Xing".
