The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

After nearly half an hour.Zhang Fan returned to the courtyard where the banquet was held.one person.

Next to the table in the garden.Liu Shan was sitting there alone, pouring himself a drink.His eyes were always looking at the faint light coming from the flower shop on the water in the distance.I don't know what to think.But Zhang Fan could tell that Liu Shan wasn't impatient at all.as if.It's as if he's already used to it.

"Eunuch Liu." Zhang Fan walked into the courtyard.Said to Liu Shan with a little apology. "Let Eunuch Liu wait here alone. Zhang Fan is sorry, sorry." He said.Zhang Fan apologized to Liu Shan.

"Sigh. Why does Master Zhang need to do this?" Liu Shan waved his hand.Said. "Come and sit down quickly. Let's keep drinking."

Zhang Fan sat down.I just wanted to raise my glass to toast Liu Shan.But he found that Liu Shan was looking at him with strange eyes.Can't help but get a little curious.Not sure what he meant by that.suddenly.Zhang Fan remembered the reason.It was him and Luo Linger who went there.And he was the only one who came back.

"This..." Zhang Fan didn't know how to answer Liu Shan's doubts.Since she solved the misunderstanding between herself and Luo Linger just now.That resentment also disappeared from Zhang Fan's heart.And Zhang Fan immediately returned to his original state.The inexplicable impulse and gaffe at the banquet just now.It has now disappeared from his body as well. "Lingmei...Miss Ling'er, she is not feeling well. Let me bring a message to Eunuch. I will come later."

"Hehe. Master Zhang doesn't need to say more. Our family knows." Liu Shan had a weird smile on his face.Looking at Zhang Fan.There was an expression of knowing the truth all over his face.Even this moment.There was also a questioning look on his face.It seemed to be asking Zhang Fan how wonderful it was.

Zhang Fan looked at Liu Shan like this.It is also worth a very helpless smile.Even though he and Luo Ling'er didn't do anything in the room just now.But he really didn't want to explain.He has always adhered to a golden saying of later generations: "The so-called explanation is to cover up. What is covered up is the truth." And what's more.Isn't this situation exactly what Liu Shan hoped for?Zhang Fan would naturally follow his will.Immediately, he also showed an expression of knowing the taste of food.

"Master Zhang is indeed a romantic person." Liu Shan clapped his hands and applauded.Then he said to Zhang Fan in a mysteriously low voice. "If your lord likes it. I'm not afraid of Mrs. Zun's criticism. Please accept it with a smile."

"Xiao Na." When Zhang Fan heard this word.In his mind, he didn't know what Liu Shan wanted to say.Do you want to give yourself something?But even if it was a gift, I didn't say or not tell you what I would give you.Could it be that there is a "surprise inside"?But immediately.Zhang Fan understood what Liu Shan was talking about.He opened his mouth in amazement.It took a long time to say. "Eunuch Liu means...meaning that Ling'er..."

"That's exactly what I mean. I don't know what Mr. Zhang wants." Liu Shan didn't wait for Zhang Fan to finish speaking.Just continue talking.

This really surprised Zhang Fan.How could Liu Shan suddenly have such thoughts.At this moment, Zhang Fan, who was in a very chaotic heart, couldn't figure out a clue at all.I don't know which play he is singing.Pick up the wine glass.I want to take a sip of wine to suppress my mind.But he found that the wine glass was already empty.Zhang Fan grabbed the flagon beside him.I poured myself three cups in a row.Three glasses of wine.Only then did the mood calm down a little.

Originally speaking.This incident should not have caused Zhang Fan to be so excited.For Luo Linger.What happened just now made Zhang Fan firm in his determination.No matter how things will develop.He wants to take Luo Linger to his side.Don't let her leave you.Just now Liu Shan said that he wanted to "give" Luo Ling'er to him.Logically speaking, Zhang Fan should be happy.But he himself is very clear.Just now I was excited.But not entirely happy.Most of it is accompanied by surprise.He knew what Liu Shan had done to Luo Ling'er.I also know that Luo Ling'er will have a greater effect on Liu Shan.Zhang Fan naturally hated this very much.Even when he hated Luo Ling'er before, he hated it so much.But the resentment did not blind Zhang Fan's eyes.He understood that Luo Ling'er was of great use to Liu Shan.

In this way.Zhang Fan was naturally surprised.He would never believe that Liu Shan did this just to win over himself.If so.Then when he came to Yangzhou this time, he would not meet Luo Ling'er at all.Liu Shan must have sent her out in a gorgeous and beautiful dress long ago.but now.Liu Shan had already told him this clearly.In this way.Zhang Fan began to think about it.What was the reason that prompted Liu Shan to make such a decision.

After much deliberation.There is only one possible reason.Paying a price is always about wanting something in return.This is the law of nature.And Liu Shan wanted to use Luo Ling'er as a condition.He must also want to get something from Zhang Fan.only.what exactly is it.Zhang Fan couldn't figure it out for a while.But it was under Liu Shan's control.Zhang Fan is definitely not willing.He intends to try and test first.

"This... I'm afraid this is not very good." Zhang Fan said despite this.But he had a smile on his face.And I don't know how to restrain myself.He made no secret of his affirmation of Liu Shan's proposal in his heart.And the desire for Luo Ling'er. "After all, Miss Ling'er belongs to Eunuch Liu..."

"Sister?" Liu Shan continued Zhang Fan's words.Say what he wants to say.There was also an incomparable sense of sarcasm in his tone. "Master Zhang. We are all sensible people. Why are you so hypocritical. Your Excellency has Jin Yiwei under his command. He Dongchang's factory supervisor, Mr. Feng Bao, Mr. Feng has a lot of affection. How could he not know Linger's identity?"

"Since my father-in-law is so forthright, I don't have to work so hard. I can't lie to anyone. It's very tiring." Zhang Fan heard him say this.No more pretending.Said very readily. "I think about those who have entered the official career. Some people seek glory and wealth. Some people seek success and fame. I, Zhang Fan, am not a sage. I think I have suffered. I almost died outside the Great Wall; All the officials in the court are against me. I am a scholar. Although the ten-year cold window is talked and laughed in front of people. But no one has realized the hardships. Now I am ahead. I have all the high-ranking officials and nobles. Why bother So tired. I put myself on the edge of the cliff all day. Even if I am a beautiful woman in my arms, I can’t sleep well every night. I’m afraid that someone will suddenly kill me. In the daytime, I have to be careful when I’m a person or an official. I’m afraid I’ll make countless enemies.

"Since my father-in-law and I have met each other frankly, then I won't talk too much anymore. I, Zhang Fan, don't want to live such a boring life. I want power, wealth, and all the beauties and fine wines that can be obtained. I want to get them all. But I haven't lost my mind because of this. I know there is a price for everything. What my father-in-law wants me to do. Say it clearly."

"Okay. Mr. Zhang is really straightforward. It is said that heroes come out of youth. Although our family is not a few years older than Mr. Zhang, we still have great admiration for Mr. Zhang. Mr. Zhang has such insights at a young age. It is really good. "Liu Shan appreciated Zhang Fan's words very much.I didn't feel that Zhang Fan was talking too much.In fact.All he needed was for Zhang Fan to have such thoughtfulness.Such an ambitious man.Only then will I have the opportunity and be able to cooperate with such people.After all, to him.Compared with using various methods to coerce and lure a person with integrity in his heart to join his camp.It is easier to talk to someone who is already full of ambition.easy to communicate.

But Liu Shan is not a fool.I will go after such a person without thinking.After all, come from behind.There are too many examples of new people replacing old people.He would not foolishly think that after Zhang Fan cooperated with him.There will be no thoughts in my heart to replace myself.After all, Liu Shan knew it very well.How much real money will flow in and out of my own hands every year.He didn't believe that anyone would remain unmoved after seeing such a great wealth.

However, Liu Shan is still ready to cooperate with Zhang Fan.It's not that he's arrogant.Rather, he was confident that he could control Zhang Fan.The so-called control does not mean grabbing Zhang Fan's handle to blackmail him.After all, Zhang Fan's identity is there.And Zhang Fan and Long Qing who is sitting on the throne now.The relationship with the prince Zhu Yijun who is sure to sit on the throne in the future is very harmonious.In the future, he will definitely be able to grasp even greater power.The cooperation Liu Shan mentioned just now is at best just to give himself a face.Practically speaking.His so-called cooperation is just to find a protective umbrella with such rights as Zhang Fan.It's just that there are still risks.The most important thing for Liu Shan is to consider how to make Zhang Fan feel that he is an indispensable existence.

"My lord has my lord's ambitions. Our family also has ours. It's just that your lord is like this. Our family feels something is wrong." Liu Shan said.

"Eunuch Liu, what does this mean?" Zhang Fan asked with a frown.

"My lord Zhang is now in the midst of prosperity. The future is boundless. Our family is far behind." Liu Shan didn't make it clear.

But Zhang Fan also understood what Liu Shan meant.After all, I am different from him.something happened.Naturally there will be countless people.Even Long Qing himself came to replace Zhang Fan with the dead ghost.And Liu Shan's position.It is very likely to become this scapegoat.It is normal to think so.If Liu Shan didn't ask for anything, he would start talking with Zhang Fan in detail.That Zhang Fanke was about to suspect that there was some secret or conspiracy in it.

"Eunuch Liu. What I am doing here under His Majesty's imperial order. I think Eunuch Liu understands very well. We don't have to be so secretive. If Eunuch Liu wants to say something or make any request Just bring it up." Zhang Fan didn't want to continue dealing with him like this.Straightforwardly.

"Okay. Then our family will stop playing around." Liu Shan said. "I want Mr. Zhang and my Linger to worship the heaven and the earth."

Hear this sentence.Zhang Fan was stunned.In front of the courtyard gate, there was also the sound of porcelain falling to the ground and smashing.
