Joy of Life: Grandmaster of the Fan Family

Not only Li Chengqian had many thoughts and ideas in his mind after he returned.

The civil and military officials who came together to welcome Fan Bin felt the same way, with waves of shock and fear rising in their hearts.

Before Fan Xian broke through and became a grandmaster, the grandmaster Si Gu Jian, who had been guarding Dongyi City, also joined the Fan family.

The Fan family’s power expanded unprecedentedly.

Si Gu Jian himself became the vice president of Tongtian Academy and served as a swordsmanship instructor.

Although the current Tongtian Academy has not actually started school yet, it already has a direct disciple, a little boy named Zhuo Yifan.

It is said that in the assessment at Dadongshan, Zhuo Yifan performed outstandingly and was accepted as Fan Bin's disciple as an exception.

Now I am following Si Gu Jian to lay the foundation.

Si Gu Jian has already defected to the Fan family, needless to say about Dongyi City, which has always been guarded by Si Gu Jian.

They have completely surrendered to the Fan family and become part of it.

Today, the Grand Master Fan family is so powerful that no one can match it.

There are two powerful masters at the grandmaster level, and one of them is an invincible grandmaster.

In addition, there is Si Gu Jian.

When Emperor Qing died, Fan Xian took over. Now, there are only five famous Grandmasters in the world. The Fan family alone occupies three of them.

In addition, they also control the Tiger Guards, the Internal Treasury, the Ministry of Revenue, and some of the power of the Ministry of Personnel...

And the power of the Inspectorate.

Among all these civil and military officials in Kyoto, which one of them is not more cunning than a monkey in plucking a single hair?

When they saw the change in Qing Kingdom and the rise of the Fan family, they joined the Fan family without any hesitation.

Unexpectedly, I got slapped in the face in the end.

Fan Xian clearly had an overwhelming advantage and was on the verge of nominating the third prince to the throne.

Who would have thought that the prince, who had been silent before, would suddenly do something big.

He actually got the support of the temple!
There are the ascetics in the temple, plus those powerful masters.

In the fight between Li Chengqian and Fan Bin, he was not at a disadvantage at all. Later, the eldest princess returned and helped Li Chengqian get back some of the money in the inner treasury.

In the end, Li Chengqian relied on this advantage to successfully ascend the throne of Emperor Qing.

His performance was so amazing.

So much so that after seeing Li Chengqian's rise, many people took the initiative to join him.

Among them, there are many aristocratic families who choose to bet on both sides.

Take the Grand Master Ye family for example.

Their current patriarch, Ye Zhong, is now on close terms with Li Chengqian and has become Li Chengqian's favorite. And Ye Ling'er, the daughter of the Ye family, has become Fan Xian's disciple.

At this time, the civil and military officials of Qing State had already predicted that the fight between the two sides would probably continue for a while.

No one expected that Fan Bin would come back at this time. And once the Daqing war god came back, the situation changed instantly.

Even if Li Chengqian got the support of the temple, it would be useless.

Judging from Li Chengqian's performance at the city gate, he had obviously retreated. Even when Fan Bin called him the prince, Li Chengqian didn't say anything else.

This almost directly removed the biggest weight from Li Chengqian.

Once the court meeting begins, Fan Bin can even directly establish a new emperor.

When they thought of this, the civil and military officials who had defected to Li Chengqian couldn't sleep at all.

Some people blamed themselves for being blind and how they got on Li Chengqian's pirate ship? Others thought that the state affairs were difficult.

How can they turn the tide when Qing Kingdom has a huge traitor like the Fan family?

The officials who had joined the Fan family were completely different. They would wake up laughing in their dreams at night.

This is what people say, choice is sometimes more important than hard work.

Of course, these are not important to Fan Bin.

The reason why Fan Bin did not turn hostile immediately at that time was that he felt that killing the king in the street was too disgraceful.

In history, the Sima family was unable to recover for thousands of years because of this incident.

Fan Bin felt that there was no need for him to do so.

After all, in Fan Bin's opinion, his real opponent has never been Li Chengqian, but the mastermind of the temple hidden behind Li Chengqian, the guy who calls himself Lin Nan.

When he returned to the Fan family, Fan Xian had already asked people to prepare a sumptuous banquet.

The two brothers got together and had a very happy meal.

After the leftovers were cleared away, the two brothers went to the study and began to discuss business.

"How many temple messengers are there in the palace?"

The number of temple messengers in the palace must be quite large.

Otherwise, Fan Xian and Si Gu Jian would not be so cautious.

"I go to investigate once every two weeks. The first time I went alone, I only encountered a temple messenger. I was able to gain the upper hand in a fight with him. If it weren't for those ascetics..."

Having said this, Fan Xian smiled bitterly and shook his head.

According to common sense, everyone below the Grandmaster is an ant. With his current strength, he should not be afraid of those ascetics.

The truth is pretty much the same.

If it were just the ascetics in the palace, they really wouldn't be able to do anything to Fan Xian.

But adding a temple messenger makes a different story.

The strength of the ascetic is enough to have an impact on Fan Xian, and the temple messengers serve as the main force.

Facing the combined forces of the two, Fan Xian alone would most likely fall into trouble.

Seeing that things were hopeless, Fan Xian chose to leave.

Although his lightness skill cannot be compared with the unrivaled Fan Bin, it is still something that ordinary people cannot catch up with.

It would be easy to get rid of those ascetics, or even the temple messengers if the opportunity arose.

"I was more careful the second time and directly asked Uncle Wu Zhu and Mr. Si Gu Jian to go with me. But this time, we met three temple messengers."

Three temple messengers, plus so many ascetics.

Unless Fan Xian intends to fight to the death, he will not gain any benefit if he confronts the opponent head-on.

"By the time we went there for the third time, the number of temple messengers had grown to five."

Fan Xian smiled bitterly.

How could he not know that he would let an ambitious guy like Li Chengqian sit on that chair.

How much trouble will it bring to their future plans?

It’s just that the situation is stronger than people.

If those temple messengers had not stayed in the palace all the time and not come out.

Fan Xian might have already withdrawn from Kyoto.

No matter how strong they are, they have no chance of winning against the five temple messengers.

It is better to leave on your own initiative. After all, as long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood.

"These temple messengers are like dumplings falling from the sky, they are falling faster and faster."

After hearing Fan Xian's words, Fan Bin discovered the growth pattern of the temple messengers.

One, three, five...

Every time Fan Xian goes there, two temple messengers will be added. This should be the number that the temple mass-produces.

The only thing he was unclear about now was the interval between the production of two batches.

If he knew this, Fan Bin would be able to calculate how many temple messengers there are at the temple?
Although it is impossible to calculate specifically, Fan Bin can roughly tell that the production cycle will not be short.

If the time is very short, then the people who remain in the Qing Palace cannot be the five temple messengers.

But dozens, or even hundreds...

"We don't have much time left." Thinking of the temple, he was still producing temple messengers in an endless stream.

Fan Bin felt a sense of urgency in his heart.

"The last time I went there was half a month ago. If I go now, there will probably be seven temple messengers inside..."

Fan Xian apparently also discovered this pattern.

At certain intervals, the number of temple messengers will increase by two.

"The seven temple messengers are not a big deal. What matters is that I am afraid there might be..."

Fan Bin paused when he said this.

"You mean a big killer? No way?"

The temple has not used thermal weapons against them until now.

Apart from anything else, if every temple messenger was equipped with a Gatling gun with great destructive power, it would be enough to make them suffer a lot.

Anyway, Fan Xian himself would never be able to withstand such a weapon.

Even if he is already a grandmaster now, it won’t work.

Fan Bin shook his head.

He knew what Fan Xian meant, and he also knew that the temple would most likely not do that.

If it were before, Fan Bin would not have thought so.

After all, if that kind of thing really happened, he wouldn't be able to stop it even if he wanted to.

Why should he worry about something that he has no control over?
Wouldn't that just be asking for trouble?

But Fan Bin is different now. Not to mention the weapons of this era, they can no longer harm him. Even ordinary thermal weapons cannot hurt him.

Apart from the overwhelming armor-piercing bullets, the only thing that could make Fan Bin feel afraid was the legendary weapon of mass destruction.

Those high-explosive bombs with an explosion destructive range of dozens of meters can no longer threaten Fan Bin.

In this situation, Fan Bin should be more careful.

The mastermind of the temple now possesses human thinking.

This also means that once the other party discovers Fan Bin’s current strength, some of the restrictions it originally set for itself are very likely to be removed by itself.

"Brother, if you say that, I'm afraid things will be troublesome."

Fan Xian is not stupid either.

When he found out that his elder brother really cared about this issue, he immediately thought that his elder brother's strength might not be what it used to be.

Even though the crisis was huge enough to be fatal to a grandmaster, Fan Bin acted as if he didn't care at all.

So, how powerful is he now?
The Grand Master is no longer considered a human being, so what should his eldest brother be considered?
"The temple has dealt with you before. Now that you are even stronger, the temple must have known about it. If the temple determines that the temple messenger cannot pose any threat to you, then it is very likely to mobilize a weapon of mass destruction. Even if it is not a weapon of mass destruction, it will be other hot weapons."

The temple strictly prohibits anyone from bringing hot weapons into the current human world.

As the maker of this rule, the temple will definitely abide by the rule it sets most of the time.

But this does not mean that there is really no way to bring out hot weapons.

For example, the Barrett in Fan Xian's hand now.

Isn’t that Ye Qingmei, the one who brought it out secretly?
Since Barrett can appear, other thermal weapons can naturally appear as well.

For Lin Nan, who already has human intelligence, it is absolutely impossible for him to put himself in danger just by following the rules he set.

"This is a dilemma not only for us, but also for the temple."

"Even if he calculated your improvement in strength in advance, he doesn't know exactly how strong you are. The explosion power of the weapon is not strong except in the center of the explosion. The biggest threat is actually the radiation."

Speaking of this, Fan Xian suddenly felt a little ironic.

In his original era, everyone was terrified of radiation.

However, in this era, the biggest hidden danger of large-scale weapons is not harm to them, but may be a benefit.

"Once the big killer explodes, the treasures under the palace will naturally be destroyed. The temple will suffer a huge loss! If the price is to kill my eldest brother, the temple may do so. The remaining temple messengers in the hands of the temple are enough to complete the destruction of the world."

"But if the bomb fails to kill my brother, then the temple will be equivalent to destroying its own treasure in vain."

Fan Xian didn't know what was buried under the Qing Palace.
But there is one thing he can be sure of.

The things in there must be extremely important to the temple, otherwise, there would be no need for the temple to show up at this time.

If the temple develops quietly, it will take ten or twenty years.

It is estimated that the temple will be able to command tens of thousands of temple messengers. By then, no matter how strong his elder brother is, he will probably be unable to defeat four hands with two fists.

The reason why the temple occupied the imperial palace of Qing Kingdom was because of the things in the palace.

"What you said is true, but the problem is that my situation is the same. If I sneak into the palace at this time and want to slaughter those temple messengers, what if the temple attacks?"

The result is also two types.

Either life or death.

The temple was in a dilemma because it was worried that Fan Bin would not die.

If even the destructive power of the big killer is not enough, the temple will have no way to deal with Fan Bin.

Fan Bin was also in a dilemma, he was afraid that he would not survive.

The temperature at the center of the explosion of the weapon of mass destruction is tens of millions degrees.

If the explosion had not occurred around his body and he had avoided the core area of ​​the explosion, Fan Bin was confident that he could survive.

But what if he happened to be at the epicenter of the explosion?

Even though Fan Bin has strengthened his body to an incredible level, it is enough to rival the temple messenger.

His physical body couldn't withstand the high temperature of thousands of degrees.

"So what should we do next? We can't just keep waiting like this, right?"

Fan Xian scratched his head.

In recent months, he has been dealing with these situations independently in the capital of Qing.

I'm already exhausted both physically and mentally.

It was not until they went to pick up Fan Bin that Fan Xian felt a lot more relaxed.

Although he still has to stay here and continue to manage the business, with Fan Bin as his backbone, he finally doesn't have to bear such great pressure alone.

Especially when he saw Fan Bin's success, Fan Xian felt that the current situation had changed.

It is not an exaggeration to say that attack and defense are easy.

However, after careful analysis, Fan Xian was very surprised to find that the problem that had originally troubled them had not actually been solved.

"No rush. We must go to the palace, but not necessarily tonight."

Just as Fan Bin said this, Wang Buer suddenly came to the door.

Before he knocked on the door, Fan Xian's eyes widened in surprise.

"Who dares to come at this time?"

His elder brother had clearly rejected Li Chengqian before.

Now that they don’t even welcome the emperor Li Chengqian, who else can they welcome?

Fan Bin released his mental power and swept it around, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Brother, do you know?"

Fan Xian asked curiously.

"This person is also an acquaintance of yours."

"acquaintance?"

"That's right, your mother-in-law. Princess Li Yunrui."
