"Please, Bodhisattva, bless us, the people of Fu City, to get through this tribulation.”In the Guanyin Temple, a woman in shabby clothes was kowtowing non-stop. "Bodhisattva's blessing? What was the use of Bodhisattva? Saving the poor and saving the troubled is just letting us endure all this suffering and hardship for nothing!”The tall man said in a rough voice. "I think we should go to the Dragon King Temple to pray for rain. If it doesn't rain soon, our crops will wither.”An old man with bare feet suddenly interrupted, his voice hoarse. "It's all those Qin people's fault! " When they came, we were infected with this plague. My child's skin is almost completely rotten. Sob, sob, my Sheng 'er. Bodhisattva bless my Sheng' er…" A woman sobbed. "My house is far from the river. Because that group of Qin people said that the plague came from the well water, I got up early every day to fetch water from the river. It took me half a day to go back and forth.”A young man in coarse clothes said with an ugly expression.
The small Guanyin Temple was filled with commoners who came to pray for blessings. In the middle of them sat the temple supervisor. The temple supervisor was the person who looked after the temple. Usually, he was responsible for handling the trivial matters of the neighbors. Most of the time, he would listen to the lonely old people nagging. Today, he was surrounded in the middle, listening to the complaints of people from all walks of life.
Qin Feng and Fan Bai were in the crowd and listened to the people.
Fan Bei saw the anxiety in Qin Feng's eyes. Qin Feng was a soft-hearted and kind person. He had never heard the words of the people in the palace. Even the memorials had to go through many layers of screening.
He brought me here early in the morning and didn't say a word…Fan Bei smiled in his heart and continued to watch the commotion.
The temple supervisor was an old man. His wrinkled face was full of contemplation. He saw that everyone was talking one after another, begging Bodhisattva or complaining about water. They were quarreling. Finally, he raised his hand to signal for silence. A dry voice sounded," Everyone, don't quarrel. Guan Yin Bodhisattva is in front of you, and you still forget to be quiet... In my opinion..." He looked troubled." In my opinion, everyone should devote themselves to worshipping Buddha and do more good deeds..."
The temple supervisor looked a little embarrassed." You brought me here early in the morning just to let me see these?”Fan Bai looked up and swept his gaze across the commoners. "Ah Bei, I've been walking around these days and found out about the lives of many commoners. I heard that there was a morning meeting in a small temple here today, so I brought you here. It's said that reality gathers in small places.”Qin Feng's eyes turned to the kindly looking Guan Yin. "What does that mean? It meant that these ignorant and selfish people were ignorant and superstitious. When they encountered something, they only pinned their hopes on others and blamed others for not getting the answers they wanted.”Fan Bai's eyes turned cold. " No, Ah Bai, they're just small fries. You shouldn't be too harsh on them. The reason I brought you here is to let you solve these problems that they've prayed for.”Qin Feng shook his head. "I can solve it? I'm not the Goddess of Mercy who can save people, nor am I the Dragon King who can make it rain, nor am I the miracle doctor Hua Tuo who can cure them. I'm just the Qin people they hate.”"This is what I wanted to tell you." Qin Feng hesitated and looked at the people in the temple who hadn't left yet."I think that since I won the war with Mu Jiang and occupied Fu City, I should do something for them." I want to…give them back their peaceful lives.”"How many days has it been since the first incident of the people of Feng City drinking the water from the well?”Fan Bai didn't directly answer Qin Feng's question and only asked.
Qin Feng was stunned for a moment before replying,"Three days."”"How many days did General Qi go to find a doctor?”"Almost two days." Qin Feng replied. "How many days did it take to confront Qin Qi?”He asked emotionlessly. "…Last night…" Qin Feng was a little embarrassed. "Let me ask you again. You, Qin Feng, from the moment you were born, how long have you been alone in the palace?”"Seventeen years," Qin Feng answered casually. He suddenly remembered that he was wrong. If he was alone, excluding the time his mother was with him, it wouldn't even be a year.
Fan Bai smiled sarcastically, making Qin Feng unable to raise his head. In front of her, he was always able to see everything. She said that she understood him the most and was the only one who understood him. "How long have you been in Mujiang?" The chanting continued." More than two months.”Qin Feng replied. This answer was much louder than the previous one because these two months were completely different from the previous seventeen years. He had met many people and killed many enemies. At least in General Qi's army, he was respected and treated as the true king of Qin…General Qi's army, the true king of Qin…Thinking of this, Qin Feng was startled.
He had wanted Fan Bei to look at these innocent people and tell her that he had gone to discuss with Qin Qi last night and reached an agreement to let Fan Bei and him leave and never interfere in the affairs of the world again. Qin Qi would also give everyone an explanation. Qin Qi was the closest person to him by blood. If he voluntarily gave up the throne, based on Qin Qi's relationship with the Empress Dowager, the next King of Qin would definitely be him.
He had ambition and strength. It would be much better for him to be the king of Qin than for him to be the king of Qin…
However, before he could say anything, Ah Bei's series of questions made him fall into a difficult situation.
He had been alone for seventeen years. He had spent two months in the army, and it had only been three days since General Qi had left after a malicious poisoning incident.
He wanted to escape from these grudges and give up these short-lived glory.
Was this really necessary? "I know what you want to say. I know what kind of person Qin Feng is. He's a benevolent king, but he doesn't know that the last thing a king needs is kindness!”The chanting sounded like water hitting a stone. "If you treat the people of Mujiang as your own people, then what do you treat me as?”Fan Bai looked straight at him, as if he wanted to look into his most hidden heart.
What do you take me for? Qin Feng was dazed for a moment in her black eyes. What do I take you for? Don't you know? From the moment you opened your eyes, I took you as…I took you as a brother in need! I'll treat you like a friend who lives and dies!" Qin Feng called out.
Then, he stared at Fan Bai's eyes. If there was a trace of disappointment in them, then…
However, Fan Bei nodded in satisfaction." You also know that our relationship is that of a friend in need and a friend in life and death. From the moment I came to this world and met you, it was already destined that we must have a deep connection. Therefore, from the Qin Palace to Mujiang with you, from the time I woke up in the chaos until now, I have never changed my decision.”
Qin Feng lowered his head slightly."Yes." Yes, he couldn't say it because she was Fan Bei, the Fan Bei who treated him as a friend. Everything she did was for him. What right did he have to speak of the secrets in his heart? "Ah Feng, you want us to leave this place and go to an unfamiliar place?”Fan Bai raised his chin slightly." This sounds like a very tempting idea.”
Qin Feng raised his head.”"What?" "You don't know, do you? That Qi Wuwei has always disliked me. He probably received some secret order from someone when he left the palace. If it wasn't for you, I'm afraid I would have died long ago.”Fan Bai's eyes were serious. " Now, if you have the thought of escaping, Qi Wuwei's subordinates, like the one surnamed Liu, are all his capable helpers. Although I've sent him away, I can't guarantee that his subordinates won't do anything to me.”"Ah Feng, are you surprised?" Wasn't this something that he should have expected? Do you think the Empress Dowager and the Prime Minister will let us go so easily? From the beginning, when I left the State of Qin, my life was in danger. If I was not careful, I would be killed for all kinds of crimes. Have you forgotten that I was captured and imprisoned in the State of Qin? Qi Wuwei is a general who is loyal to the State of Qin. Therefore, if the King of Qin is someone who benefits the State of Qin, then we can keep him. If not, do you think that with Qin Qi's ability, we still have the qualifications to negotiate with him?”
Qin Feng reached out his hand, wanting to grab something but didn't know how to put it down. She had seen through everything so thoroughly and analyzed all the powerful relationships so clearly. He could only say," Last night... I promised Qin Qi that I would give up the position of King Qin in exchange for our peace..."
Fan Bei smiled like a peach blossom."Ah Feng, you're so naive. After so many things, you're still willing to believe such a lie?"”He walked to the table and raised his hand to light an incense stick. The incense sticks used in ordinary temples of poor quality were easy to peel off and shatter with a touch. Fan Bei casually inserted the incense into the incense burner and said," Trust me. Although there are still many things that you haven't thought through, you have already done very well. Moreover, you must remember that if you want to protect my life, don't go back on your word. I have already thought of a countermeasure. I'm just afraid that you won't be ruthless enough to implement it. Now, it seemed that he had no choice but to do so. "I understand." Qin Feng took a deep breath."I'm sorry, I was too impulsive before. I know what you mean. No matter what happens in the future, I won't retreat so easily, so I'll do what you want."”" Well, I'm afraid you can't make such a decision. What I'm thinking of is an eye for an eye." Fan Bai retreated to the side and stared at the temple warden who was cleaning the wall. He said," Since he can use such a despicable method as poisoning to expel us, why can't we?"”
Qin Feng looked at Fan Bei walking towards the temple supervisor with a quiet smile and suddenly felt that she was unfamiliar.
Why did he bring her here?
He wanted to tell her that he could give up on those illusory locations and travel around the Nine Nations with her.
Although, although she only treated him as a friend.
However, things had slipped out of the original plan. What was Ah Bai trying to do? How far did he have to go to help him? Why did her smile become colder by the day, to the point where it revealed such killing intent?
Was this her original appearance? Or was it that he shouldn't have brought her to the battlefield and let her experience these blades and swords because he was too incompetent and couldn't protect her, so she had to turn around and protect him?
Qin Feng's expression was a little dazed. He seemed to have forgotten that he had been the trash crown prince and trash emperor of the nine countries for seventeen years.
Everything was washed away when the battle was over.
Was it an illusion?
