Joy of Life: Grandmaster of the Fan Family

Zhan Doudou is very smart.

She had obviously figured out Fan Bin's purpose in taking Xiao Ruogu away?
When Fan Bin told Zhan Doudou about this, the young emperor of Northern Qi did not take it too seriously.

She was raised in a royal family.

Zhan Doudou had seen too many royal descendants while growing up. Did all of them want to be emperor?

That must be deceiving.

Everyone has their own ideas and different pursuits...

But one day, the throne was placed before them.

How many people can refuse?

Based on what Zhan Doudou had seen, she was sure that none of them would be like that.

Being able to maintain your mentality for the sake of that supreme position is already a very rare thing.

Many people are willing to sacrifice their lives for the supreme position.

Back then, some people would rather sacrifice the lives of tens of thousands of men than challenge the grandmaster.

His only goal is to become emperor.

It's just a pity that he didn't succeed in the end...

There will be no surprises in Xiao Ruogu’s choice.

"I don't know whether you trained him or if this little guy was born thinking this way. Anyway, he chose the path you picked for him."

Zhan Doudou seemed extremely excited when he heard Fan Bin say this.

"So, you agree to help me?"

"You are my wife, so it is my duty to help you. Xiao Ruogu is also my son. If he has any ideas, I will do my best to fulfill them."

Fan Bin said calmly: "The unification of the world is not the end, it is very likely just the beginning. The unification of the world is of great significance. As long as the first unified dynasty appears, future disputes will also take it as an example..."

Having said this, Fan Bin suddenly paused.

Zhan Doudou and Xiao Ruogu both set their sights on Fan Bin.

The two of them attached great importance to Fan Bin's words.

Fan Bin nodded and continued, "Before the great unification, the country had been divided for a long time, and various contradictions had not been completely resolved. Even if it was barely unified, these contradictions would still exist. If we can't come up with a good solution, the originally established great unified country may not last long and will fall apart. Before the real unification, this is the problem you have to solve. Both you and Ruogu need to think about it carefully."

Fan Bin is not just worrying about nothing.

What he said is a real case in history.

The first country in history to achieve great unification and centralization was called Daqin.

The value of Qin Shihuang's works is beyond doubt.

Looking at the entire history, he is also the greatest emperor of all time.

Others can only say that they are on par with Qin Shi Huang, but no emperor dares to boast that his achievements surpass those of Qin Shi Huang.

This is the value of Qin Shihuang.

But such a great Qin Dynasty only lasted for more than twenty years before it fell apart.

There are many theories about the demise of the Qin Dynasty in history.

It cannot be denied that there are indeed many objective reasons involved.

But the biggest reason was not the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty, but the fact that the nobles left over from the six kingdoms still refused to accept the rule of the Qin Dynasty.

Although the one who eventually inherited the Qin Dynasty's foundation was Liu Bang, who was born a village chief, rather than the nobles of the six kingdoms.

But if you read history carefully, it is not difficult to find out.

The ones who really contributed to the demise of the Qin Dynasty were none other than the so-called nobles of the six kingdoms.

Until the Qin Dynasty was destroyed and the Han Dynasty was established.

It took twenty or thirty years for things to settle down, and one or two generations died.

Only then can this scar be healed.

Although Fan Bin knew in his heart that the laws of history were not so easy to change.

Even if he is an invincible grandmaster, as long as he does not sit in charge of the unified country in the future, there is no guarantee that the country established by Ruogu can survive.

Only a perfect system can eliminate the hatred that divides the country.

To put it bluntly, it is to eliminate the hatred between Daqing and Northern Qi.

The newly established unified country can be passed down...

Although this kind of transmission cannot last forever, at least it will not collapse in just 10 or 20 years.

The title of Xiao Ruogu, the greatest emperor of all time, can also be passed down.

"I understand, Father!"

Little Ruogu looked similar to Douding, but he was still very serious and bowed deeply to Fan Bin.

Zhan Doudou also looked like he was learning a lesson.

Although it is still a little early to consider such distant things at this time.

But Zhan Doudou has almost blind confidence in Fan Bin.

Since Fan Bin has already said that, the biggest obstacle no longer exists.

There is no problem in unifying the world.

But it is easy to conquer a country, but difficult to keep it.

If they want to secure their throne, they must put in some effort.

And this is the issue they should consider most at this stage.

"I understand. I'll think about it carefully."

Another night of love...

Fan Bin slept in the palace for three consecutive days. On the morning of the third day, Zhan Doudou was so tired that he could not open his eyes.

Fan Bin came to the restaurant where he, Fan Xian and others had made an appointment in advance.

Someone has been waiting here for a long time.

Regarding the selection of people to go to the temple, it is not the quantity of people that matters, but the quality of people. Considering that they need to face the existence of the temple messenger.

With ordinary combat power, even if you go with them, you won’t be able to help at all.

Instead, they might become a burden to their team.

So people who go there are very particular.

Apart from the horses, there were only four people.

They are the invincible grandmaster Fan Bin, Fan Xian who had just broken through to the grandmaster level, and Wu Zhu, the former temple messenger.

And Wang Qinian.

When Wang Qinian first heard the good news, his face turned pale.

"Master Xiao Fan, is it inappropriate for me to follow you?"

In recent years, Wang Qinian has been by Fan Xian's side.

His strength also increased with the tide.

He now possesses the strength of a ninth rank, coupled with his terrifying lightness skill, even compared with the masters above the ninth rank, Lao Wang is not much inferior.

This strength cannot be considered bad from any perspective.

Although he is not as good as Haitang Duoduo, he is already close to being a grandmaster.

That can definitely be ranked in the top 20 in the world.

However, such strength is obviously not enough to fight against the temple.

"The reason I asked you to go with me is not because I want you to do anything. I just want you to come back and report if we get trapped. At that time, you don't need to get close..."

Fan Bin was delayed in Dadong Mountain for a full three months.

Although he doesn't need to delay at this time.

But for the sake of one's own strength, in order to be able to truly break through to the level above Grand Master.

Fan Bin did it anyway.

This was something he did on his own initiative, but it did not rule out the possibility that unexpected situations might arise and they would have to stay in the temple.

This time may be a few months or a year...

Although generally speaking, this possibility is not great.

But what if?
With Wang Qinian following him, having someone who can tip off others can solve many problems.

Just like before, Fan Bin did not come back from Dadong Mountain.

But Fan Xian is back.

Not only did he return to the capital of Daqing, he also acted in an extremely ostentatious manner.

At that time, Crown Prince Li Chengqian, who had so many temple messengers under his command, did not dare to do anything to Fan Xian.

why?
On the one hand, he is not sure, and on the other hand, isn’t it because he is afraid of Fan Bin?

Although at that time, many people were already speculating whether Fan Bin would have no chance of coming back alive?
After all, he disappeared for three months.

But because of Fan Xian's presence and his attitude, even though they had such doubts in their hearts, they did not dare to test him.

They simply didn't dare to bear the consequences of a failed attempt.

To put it bluntly, letting Wang Qinian go with him now is exactly the same principle.

As long as Wang Qinian comes back, he will have something to say.

Those forces who are eyeing and want to do something have to consider it.

Of course, this is just a precautionary measure.

Fan Bin has done many similar things.

Now, in the open, there are the Fan family and Zhan Doudou. In secret, there are three spy chiefs.

Fan Bin still believes in their abilities.

What if someone could really do something under the noses of these people?
Fan Bin was convinced.

If someone could really do that, why would he be dissatisfied?

"Here are 100 taels of gold as your reward."

Fan Xian knows too well what kind of people his subordinates are?

He is the kind of person who won't release the eagle until he sees the rabbit.

When he saw the one hundred taels of gold, the expression on Wang Qinian's face changed obviously.

"At home, I have a wife and a little daughter..."

"This journey is bound to be dangerous. If things go wrong, I'm afraid Wang will have to stay there. By then, they will be left alone as an orphan and a widow..."

Wang Qinian burst into tears.

It feels like saying goodbye to the whole world.

"Do you want it or not? If not, I'll take it back."

As soon as Fan Xian stretched out his hand, the gold on the table disappeared.

Wang Qinian naturally put the gold into his arms.

"I am not greedy for money. I just want to follow the two Masters Fan and do something."

He said this with a sad face.

Even Oscar-winning actors would feel ashamed in front of him.

Both Fan Bin and Fan Xian were tired of seeing scenes like this.

They let Wang Qinian perform and did not try to stop him, let alone agree with him.

After making sure everything was done, they took a carriage and headed north.

In addition to the capital of Northern Qi, Northern Qi also had a large territory to the north.

They don't have to complete the initial supply here.

We traveled a thousand miles by carriage in a short time.

They found a place to rest for the night, and then started to ride the sled...

This was a solution devised by the people in the north of the Northern Qi Dynasty.

In the ice and snow, horses cannot move forward.

They couldn't stand that kind of cold.

According to Ku He and Sean, they also passed through snow-capped mountains and snowy canyons on their way north.

"I can barely tell the direction, but I can't find the way at all."

There were very few indigenous inhabitants in the Far North, and they finally found dogs and sleds and asked the indigenous inhabitants to help lead the way.

During this process, there were also cases where the original inhabitants became malicious and attacked them.

Of course, those guys were bound to hit a wall.

There was no need for the Fan brothers to take action. Wang Qinian alone could easily deal with them.

Until they reached the northernmost tribe, which was not only close to the north, but also had high mountains.

When the two are combined, the coldness is doubled.

Even the bravest hunter in the tribe did not dare to move forward.

In his words, there was no trace of human beings ahead.

Even these people have lived here for generations and make a living by hunting.

The dogs pulling the sled stopped and howled halfway up the snowy mountain.

Wang Qinian wore three layers of fur coats but was still shivering from the cold.

"Should we really keep going?"

It feels like they can't even reach the so-called temple?

"This is probably the coldest place, with temperatures around -40 to -50 degrees Celsius. This is still summer, if it were winter, it would be even colder."

Fan Xian muttered quietly.

"Master Xiao Fan, please stop joking. The further north we go, the colder it gets. We haven't even seen our destination yet, so who knows what we'll be like when we get there."

Wang Qinian is not entirely timid.

What he said does make some sense.

"Once you reach the North Pole, you're in the ocean. The climate in the ocean is far less changeable than on land. At most, it's about 30 to 40 degrees below zero, not like it is now."

Fan Xian shook his head.

Although he had never been to the North Pole in his previous life.

But this does not mean that he has no knowledge of the Arctic.

For example, the average temperature in the Arctic is about -20 to -40 degrees Celsius. In winter, it is -40 to -70 degrees Celsius.

The winter and spring months are all polar nights in the Arctic Circle.

In July and August every year, it will be in polar day.

This is not entirely the speculation of Fan Xian and the others, but also the information obtained from Ku He and Sean.

Ku He and his friends had no idea about polar day and polar night at first, so when they first went there, they encountered polar night directly.

It was not until the midnight day appeared that they could actually see the temple.

According to what Fan Bin had previously learned.

The temple will only be fully visible to the public during the polar day.

Other times, it’s hidden.

They chose this time specifically to rush to the North Pole.

It is also for this reason.

As a temple of the military museum, you have to go out to absorb the sunlight during the polar day.

To put it simply, it is to generate electricity through solar energy.

This is the most important source of energy for the temple.

Although the temple had obtained a batch of energy through unknown means before.

But those energy sources are ultimately limited. Only the sunlight during the polar day is truly unlimited.

If the temple could produce some energy conversion panels.

It can completely solve the energy problem during the two months of polar day.

Once the energy problem is solved, the combat power that the temple can unleash will be beyond that of a grandmaster.

Even the invincible grandmaster Fan Bin would be defeated in vain.

"Sean and his team set out shortly before the beginning of the year and didn't arrive until June or early July. Judging from their walking distance, the distance to the temple is about 8,000 to 10,000 miles."

That is about four or five thousand kilometers!

Considering that this is Earth, this distance is still very reliable.

Even if you don’t reach the North Pole, you must have reached the Arctic Circle.

"We have now walked two thousand miles, almost half of the way. Because our goal is clear, we have to walk the remaining half on our own."

"300 miles a day, we will reach our destination by July rd at the latest."

After determining the target, they packed their luggage, prepared food for half a month, and continued on their way.

Although they were walking on their own two feet, they also made use of various environments along the way, so their overall speed was still very fast.

Especially when going down the mountain.

What surprised Wang Qinian greatly was that after they walked for a while and came down from the snowy mountain, the temperature actually rose?

"As expected of Master Xiao Fan!"
