Riding the Pheonix Chapter 790: Message
? Zhang Tan looked at her deeply.
Mingwei's expression remained unchanged as he continued: "Speaking of which, the two of us have more in common than you and other star officials. We have chosen descendants of the Jiang family, which shows that we have a better understanding of destiny. Close. Don’t you think so?”
After a while, Zhang Tan said: "When Qian Yan fell, a serious disagreement broke out in the Xing Palace. Some people thought that Qian Yan had run out of energy and should choose another Ming ruler, but this proposal met with internal opposition. Who When no one could be persuaded, the Star Palace almost fell apart. The one who insisted on choosing the Jiang family was the former White Tiger Star Officer, my master."
"Oh..." Mingwei understood, "Zhang Xiang has endured for more than twenty years just to prove that the master is right?"
Zhang Tan did not say yes or no, and continued: "But the master did not succeed because the Taizu of the Jiang family..."
He frowned.
Mingwei is curious: "Isn't he easy to deceive?"
Although this deceptive word is a bit unpleasant, Zhang Tan thought about it and found that this word is really suitable.
"The Taizu of the Jiang family was a low-ranking military officer and had a rough aura. Most of us from the White Tiger lineage were military generals, so it would have been the most suitable to assist him. However, maybe there is such a thing as prestige in the world, and our ancestor just couldn't impress him. Him."
Mingwei nodded: "So Jiang's victory in the world has nothing to do with your star palace."
"It's not just irrelevant, it can even be said that this is a slap in the face of our star palace." Zhang Tan said in a deep voice, "Without our support, they still succeeded."
"So when you killed several princes together, did you mean to avenge your master?"
Zhang Tan smiled mockingly: "If that incident hadn't happened, Prince Sihuai would have successfully succeeded to the throne. Or, if any of the three of them succeeds, it will be better than the later one."
After all, the three princes all have real abilities. They have experienced the period of conquering the world and were taught by famous teachers from all over the world. They are all very ambitious.
"But you can't count it as a success." Mingwei thought for a while, "Why did you choose King Zhao? Just because he is obedient?"
Zhang Tan said: "It's not easy to obey."
In just six words, Mingwei could hear the infinite vicissitudes of life and could not help but sympathize with him.
It’s really not easy! The White Tiger family chose the Jiang family, but every one of the Jiang family from the Taizu to the princes were very tough, so they had no choice but to choose the most incompetent one. What can he do?
If he had not chosen at that time and asked one of the other three princes to succeed him, the Baihu family would have lost the possibility of intervening in the imperial power of Qi.
If you think about it carefully, it was almost the only choice at the time.
Such an important issue as inappropriate people can only be postponed.
"It seems that you are also very dissatisfied with the late emperor! Otherwise, you would not have kept your name anonymous for so many years. Are you ashamed to mention it to other people in the Star Palace?"
Zhang Tan was silent.
He did mean that.
So what if the person he chose ascends to the throne? As long as the two countries are not unified, he will not be successful.
"But if you do this, it will only delay the time of failure. The late emperor was just mediocre, but his son can only be said to be stupid."
Zhang Tan said: "I just have bad luck."
Ming smiled, did not poke his wound again, and asked instead: "Xiang Zhang mentioned before that Old Xuanwu is even more powerful. It sounds like you have seen him before?"
Zhang Tan looked at her alertly: "You want to trick me?"
Mingwei said softly: "How can this be called a cliché? A cliché should be more roundabout. I'm just asking directly. How can a cliché be so stupid?"
"..."
"You've said so much before, why bother to hide it anymore? Anyway, your chance of survival is already very small, and it's too late if you don't say it now. Or do you really want to hold these words to yourself? ?"
"..." Zhang Tan frowned and said, "Girl, why are you making so many lies? Is there anything wrong with not telling you the truth?"
"There's nothing wrong." Mingwei said kindly, "I'm just thinking about you, Xiang Zhang. I've been living with it for more than 20 years, do you want to hold back these words until the end of the world? It would be too pitiful. ”
"Ha," Zhang Tan twitched the corner of his mouth with a smile, "you are really good at talking."
"For people like us, it is difficult for the public to understand what we do. If we can't even say it, it would be too frustrating. I don't want to be so pitiful!"
Zhang Tan's face softened, as if he was looking away as death was imminent.
"I don't have much contact with Xinggong, but when I first took over, I met a person. That person was the former Xuanwu Star Officer, and his strength was unfathomable. To this day, I can't even think about it. Come out to his limit."
After thinking for a while, he added: "In other words, his strength does not lie in martial arts or mysticism, but in understanding people's hearts. In front of him, everything seems to be invisible. I heard that a new appointment has appeared. Xuanwu Xingguan, I still feel strange, how could that person die so easily? But if he doesn't die, there is no reason for him to abdicate prematurely."
Mingwei finally got the news he wanted and asked: "Do you still remember what kind of person he is?"
Zhang Tan shook his head: "I have only seen him once or twice, and he has not shown any signs. I can't tell him what he looks like or what his temperament is."
"When did you meet him? In which year?"
Zhang Tan thought about it carefully: "It should be when that idiot just succeeded to the throne, right? At that time, I wanted to go back and show off, but Xing Gong's attitude... is because of this, the truth has been over for more than 20 years I never contacted Xing Gong because I felt so sad."
Mingwei did some math in his mind.
Right!
According to the estimated time, the master's return should be after the Rebellion for the Inheritance.
She had an inexplicable feeling that Mingxiao's master in this world, that is, this old Xuanwu, might have a certain relationship with her master.
Sometimes, this intuition is more accurate than reasoning.
"If I want to find him, what can I do?"
Zhang Tan shook his head: "You don't have to go find him. ~IndoMTL.com~ Why?"
Zhang Tan seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "Didn't you say that Xuanwu Star Officer died in your hands? The Xuanwu lineage has been cut off because of this. If he is still alive, he will definitely come to you. If he doesn't come, it means that It’s already dead, so you don’t have to look for it.”
"..."
"I heard that Suzaku is in Nanchu?" Zhang Tan nodded, "The Suzaku of this generation is more capable than her master. It's a pity that the situation in Nanchu can't be successful."
Mingwei asked some more questions, but Zhang Tan didn't want to answer them anymore, and all he asked were irrelevant questions.
She stood up and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for answering the question. We will see you later."
Zhang Tan nodded lightly: "We will see you later."
When she came out of the dungeon and the door was slammed shut, he smiled strangely and said to himself: "If you are looking for death, then it's no wonder you turned out to be true."
