Yang Fan had never imagined that such a gentle and gentle young lady like Li Chiying could actually have such a ferocious side.
Thinking about it carefully, all the princesses he had met, including Miss Jin, Taiping, An Le, and now True Jade … were all like this.
Was it because these royal ladies were born with different identities that they were unrestrained, or was it because of the Hu blood in the Li Tang's family that gave them such bold and shrewd temperaments?
Yang Fan could not be sure. Under Li Chiying's bold and passionate gaze, he could only retreat awkwardly and could not answer a word. Yang Fan's retreat immediately gave Li Chiying great courage.
If Yang Fan had said something harsh just now, Li Chiying, who had used countless days and nights to build up the courage to confess, would have immediately retreated and would never have the courage to confess to him again. But Yang Fan's reaction doubled her courage.
She proudly stuck out her proud chest and approached Yang Fan three steps. Her towering breasts seemed to touch Yang Fan's body. Then she stopped and asked, "Tell me, can you help me find a man I like?"
"Why should I help you find a man? I am not your father!"
Yang Fan could only criticize this sentence in his mind. Which man would be willing to hurt a beautiful woman who was obviously interested in you, even if it was just verbal harm?
So Yang Fan took another step back and answered embarrassedly, "But I don't know … what kind of husband Your Highness is looking for?"
Li Chiying's eyes became hotter and hotter, but she could not help blushing, "Like … a man like you, Erlang!"
Yang Fan avoided her eyes and laughed dryly, "Uh … Princess is really funny. Hahaha … You mean a mature man with a successful career. There are plenty of such men in Chang 'an. I believe that as long as your father says something, the talents in the capital city … "
Li Chiying interrupted, "There are plenty? Really? Then tell me, who can go to the Western Regions alone, outwit the Turks' one hundred thousand armored soldiers, alienate the Tufan King and Prime Minister, and cause Tufan's power to decline? Tell me, who can enter the southern border alone and quell the chaos of the barbarians? "
With each question Li Chiying took a step forward. Yang Fan had no choice but to retreat step by step. "Tell me, who is able to devise an ingenious plan to overthrow the imperial court and the common people, to eradicate the cruel officials in one fell swoop? Tell me, who is able to ride alone for a thousand li, to wipe out the Khitan rebellion in one fell swoop?
Tell me, who can come up with a hundred schemes to safely escort the Prince of Luling to the capital amidst the heavy encirclement? Who can devise strategies to quietly overthrow the first empress? He also … he also … "
The more Li Chiying spoke, the redder her face became, and her eyes became watery. "He also had to kneel before me, be ridden by me, be kissed by me, kill a king for me … for me, he also had to be as handsome as you …"
The more Li Chiying spoke, the more blurred her eyes became. When she said the word "handsome", her voice had become so soft that it was as if she was sighing softly beside Yang Fan's ear.
"I killed a monarch for you? How could there be such a thing? Ah! Could it be that this girl thinks that the death of Tubo Zanpu was caused by me? "
As Yang Fan was thinking, Li Chiying could not help but reach out her hand to caress his cheek. Her soft and fragrant body also slowly nestled against him.
Yang Fan was shocked. He wanted to retreat again, but his back suddenly touched something hard. He had already retreated to the side of the pavilion pillar. At this moment, the sound of birds chirping suddenly came from the bamboo forest. Yang Fan's spirit was lifted. As if he had been granted amnesty, he said, "San Lang is here!"
With this sentence, Li Chiying's advancing movements immediately stopped. Yang Fan rushed into the bamboo forest as if he was escaping. A moment later, he saw the shadows of the branches swaying. Yang Fan followed a green figure and hurried away.
Li Chiying looked at his back, clenched her fist and fiercely waved it in the air. She said excitedly, "I said it! I finally said it! It turns out … it turns out that saying it isn't that scary. "
Li Chiying smiled sweetly. She had been depressed for a long time. She finally spilled out her heart. It was really inexplicably carefree, "Anyway … it seems that Miss Zheng likes you! If you want to run … there's no way! I'm not going to be reasonable! Hee hee … "
…
Passing through the bamboo forest, there was a wall at the end. There was a corner door on the wall. This corner door was not opened often. The lock on it was a little rusty. Fortunately, it could still be opened with a gentle poke with a key.
At this moment, the corner door had already been opened. Outside the corner door was a lush green forest. There was a winding path that led directly to the Longqing Pond. There was a black boat by the Longqing Pond. A barefooted man wearing a bamboo hat was holding a bamboo pole and stabilizing the boat.
Yang Fan got on the boat and bent down to enter the cabin. He saw a young man in a brown robe sitting inside. His facial features were good to look at, but his face was yellow and had many pockmarks. His eyebrows were thick, and they were also slanted, which was unavoidably annoying.
Yang Fan did not expect Li Longji to become like this. It seemed that there was no lack of Jianghu people around him, and they knew all kinds of tricks.
Although his disguise was far inferior to Gu Zhuting's superb disguise technique, unless someone had been watching him since he left Lu Zhou, even those who knew him well would have a hard time connecting him to Li San Lang when they saw him in this state.
His sister had just revealed her feelings to him. Although he definitely did not seduce that pure girl, Yang Fan still felt a little uncomfortable when he saw her brother.
His unnatural smile fell into Li Longji's eyes. Li Longji's face immediately tightened. He hurriedly stood up and asked, "Erlang, did anything happen in the capital?"
Yang Fan quickly motioned for him to sit down and comforted him, "Don't worry, there are no changes at the moment. However, from what Empress Wei has done, it is hard to say when she will suddenly make a move. So we must act first! "
Li Longji's expression was grave. He nodded lightly, his voice unusually calm. "Mao Zhong and Yi De have already told me the situation in the capital. I completely agree with your view. This time, I have brought all the people I can use. Erlang, what plans do you have? "
Yang Fan said, "At first glance, the situation today seems even more serious than when Empress Ze became Emperor. When Ze Tian was Emperor, the Wu family held military power, but only controlled the North Gate Imperial Army. The South Palace Imperial Army belonged to the Prime Minister, and the Prime Minister stood on our side.
Now that the military and politics are all in the hands of Wei family, it seems that our chances of success are not high, and we don't even have a high chance of rising. Fortunately, Empress Wei is not Empress Ze. Compared to Empress Ze, her ability is like the difference between the clouds and the mud.
Empress Wei is impatient to become Emperor, and has done everything in haste. Her people seem to have already controlled all the confidential centers, ministries, government positions, and the military. It is a pity that the time is too short, and there is not enough foundation. This is our chance! The only chance! "
Yang Fan stretched out a finger and dipped it into the water in the cup. Tapping it on the table, he said in a low voice, "My plan is like this …"
As soon as Yang Fan boarded the boat, it sailed towards the center of the lake. The blue water and the blue sky were a clear color. A small boat floated on it. Who would have thought that on this small boat, there were two people discussing a grand plan to change the world?
Li Chiying, dressed in a Daoist robe, stood gracefully in the little pavilion in the bamboo forest. She looked at the small boat in the distance, like a red apricot peeking over the wall. She had almond-shaped eyes and rosy cheeks, and her beautiful hair draped over her shoulders. Although she was wearing an elegant and otherworldly Daoist robe, it could not hide her exuberant beauty.
On the boat, Yang Fan described his plan in detail. Li Longji thought about it carefully for a while, then slammed the table and said in a low voice, "It's done! In this situation, there is no perfect plan. We can only use violence to curb violence and fight to the death! But … "
Li Longji couldn't help but frown. Yang Fan asked, "What? Is there a problem? "
Li Longji said, "Our original plan was to kill the Wei faction, and after we succeeded, we would make Emperor Daxing the emperor emeritus. If my father was unwilling to force my brother to abdicate, then we would settle for the next best thing and let my father be the regent. But I didn't expect that the emperor would suddenly change, and the one on the throne now is my cousin, my father's nephew … "
Yang Fan said, "You are worried that your father was unwilling to usurp his brother's throne, and now he is even more unwilling to force his nephew off the throne?"
Li Longji smiled bitterly and said, "Yes! Moreover, the posthumous edict of Emperor Daxing has already stated that my father will assist in the government. With this, I'm afraid my father will be even more unwilling to usurp his nephew's country with his status as the assistant king and leave behind an eternal infamy. Alas! My father sometimes … "
He didn't say the words "too foolish". A son shouldn't speak of his father's faults, but as a child, how could he speak of his parents' faults?
Yang Fan smiled slightly and said, "This isn't a shortcoming, but your father's strong point. It's just that some of his strong points are suitable for a benevolent elder, but not the ruler of a country. "
Yang Fan bent down and walked out of the cabin, and Li Longji followed him out. The two of them stood at the bow of the boat and looked at the clear blue lake water. They took a deep breath of the fresh and pleasant wind, and their spirits were lifted.
Yang Fan said, "What you are worried about is indeed a problem. Once the rebellion is successful, the governance of the country will have to be settled immediately. Once the monarch's position is delayed for too long, it will be impossible to change. As for your father … he needs someone to convince him, someone he can trust from the bottom of his heart! "
Li Longji's eyes flashed and he blurted out, "I got it! Aunt Taiping! Aunt Taiping can definitely do it! "
Yang Fan didn't say anything and just narrowed his eyes, looking at the distant shore. The weeping willows on the shore looked like wisps of smoke on the surface of the lake.
Li Longji said excitedly, "The Emperor of Daxing was put under house arrest in Fangzhou for 16 years. As the crown prince, my father was also put under house arrest in the East Palace for 16 years. In these 16 years, my father lived in fear every day, afraid that he would be killed.
During those days, it was all thanks to Aunt Taiping's secret protection, helping my father resolve the various traps from the Wu clan. Because of this, my father trusts Aunt Taiping the most. If there is anyone who can convince my father, it's none other than Aunt Taiping! "
