I am a prince in Zhutian Films

Chapter 139 Reminiscing about the past
Destroy Qi in three years?

Fan Xian was stunned for a moment, then he chuckled and said, "You are quite arrogant. Did you bring out the weapons of mass destruction from the temple?"

As for Qing... bah, China's current situation, Fan Xian actually didn't know much, because Northern Qi's spies in China hadn't sent any news back to the capital for many years.

The biggest spy among them, Zhan Pianpian, said that he was Chinese more than ten years ago, which made Zhan Doudou and the Queen Mother so angry that they directly severed ties with him and almost expelled him from the Zhan family tree.

But Fan Xian didn't believe that China could destroy Northern Qi in three years.

It is true that he was suspected by Zhan Doudou and her daughter in Northern Qi, but he did not waste these twenty-five years in vain.

Although Northern Qi did not develop as rapidly as China, it was much stronger than the Northern Qi of the past. As early as when China was developing westwards, Northern Qi was also moving northwards. Its land area had increased several times, and it had enough strategic depth to deal with China's army.

Want to swallow up Northern Qi in just three years?

impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
Li Chengzong smiled confidently: "No, Western temples do not have weapons of mass destruction such as missiles, but I was a science student in my previous life, and I was engaged in military industry. China is now equivalent to the second industrial revolution stage. How long do you think it will take for me, a major military power, to defeat a feudal country like you?"

"I was wondering why China's industry has developed so fast that it can even make trains. It turns out you come from the military industry. No wonder!"

Fan Xian suddenly realized, and then changed the subject: "But it's not that easy for you to destroy Northern Qi. You shouldn't have asked me to come to Northern Qi."

It is undeniable that there is some truth in what Fan Xian said.

But Fan Xian forgot a crucial issue.

That is, Northern Qi is not the China in their memory. Northern Qi does not have that kind of unbreakable backbone. With the propaganda in recent years, many people in Northern Qi now believe that China and Northern Qi were originally one family. Therefore, once China attacks Northern Qi, it will be impossible for the military and civilians to be one family. Northern Qi’s military strength alone cannot stop China.

Li Chengzong smiled and said, "Then let's give it a try."

"If possible, I still hope that the two countries will not fight each other. War means deaths."

Li Chengzong shook his head and said firmly: "The Central Plains must be unified. Even if you get missiles from the temple, it will only delay the war between the two countries. Sooner or later, there will be a war between China and Northern Qi. The destruction of Northern Qi is inevitable."

Fan Xian was silent for a long time before he sighed and said with a wry smile, "Forget it. I am now a marginal figure in Northern Qi. I don't care about the matter between you and Northern Qi anymore."

Li Chengzong thought for a moment and said, "When Northern Qi is destroyed, you can return home."

"Do you want me to follow Si Lili's path?"

Fan Xian was not stupid, he immediately understood what Li Chengzong meant, and said with a smile: "Then I will definitely be scolded to death by the people of Northern Qi."

In Northern Qi, his status was still very high, even higher than that of Zhuang Mohan back then. Once it was announced that he was actually a spy sent by Qing Kingdom to Northern Qi, the people of Northern Qi would drown him with saliva.

"I've given you the road, it depends on whether you want to walk on it or not."

"Let's talk about it after you really destroy Northern Qi."

Fan Xian sighed and suddenly asked, "Come to think of it, are you sure there is no European or American conspiracy against you?"

"what?"

Li Chengzong was confused.

Then he got angry.

"You don't suspect me of being a traitor, do you? Damn it, Fan Xian, you are insulting me. I want to duel with you!"

"Don't be angry, don't be angry."

Fan Xian, who was originally sitting on the ground, quickly got up and stepped back. Looking at the angry Li Chengzong, he smiled awkwardly and said, "Don't blame me for thinking this way. After all, you are in the Western Temple... It's my fault. I apologize to you. Okay."

As Fan Xian spoke, he muttered quietly, "I didn't expect that at such an old age, he's still an angry young man."

Although his voice was low, Li Chengzong was very powerful.

With his current hearing ability, he could hear not only Fan Xian's muttering nearby, but also the deliberately suppressed conversations of Zhan Doudou and others in the distance.

"What's wrong with me being an angry young man? Are you eating your rice?!"

That’s right, Li Chengzong is an angry young man, and he has been one since he was a child. Of course, his anger is only directed at foreigners, otherwise he would not have taken the initiative to conquer the West.

So Fan Xian suspected that there was a Western conspiracy against him, which he could not accept at all.

"Grandpa hit someone!"

Suddenly, a clear child's voice was heard, startling people who were chatting and reminiscing about the past in the distance.

"Don't run, kid. Stop right there." The second brother grabbed the little kid who was about to run over, and at the same time called out to Li Chengping and others who were about to go over to watch the show.

Lin Wan'er looked worried: "Second cousin, will everything be alright?"

Before the second brother could say anything, Li Chengru smiled and said, "It's okay. Third brother knows his limits and won't do anything to Fan Xian. Fan Xian deserves to be beaten. It's fine if he lied to me, but he even came to Northern Qi. He really thinks he is a Northern Qi person. He deserves to be beaten."

Although twenty-five years have passed, Li Chengru still cannot forget that Fan Xian deceived him.

Upon hearing this, Zhan Doudou was unhappy: "According to what the eldest prince said, my sister is still the legitimate princess of Qi, but she thinks she is a citizen of Qing. Shouldn't she be beaten?"

Zhan Pianpian was embarrassed and didn't know what to say for a moment.

The little girl in her arms looked at Zhan Doudou angrily, waving her little fist and said, "You want to hit my grandma? I'm a bad aunt, I'll hit you!"

Zhan Doudou was not angry either, she smiled and said, "This little girl has a bad temper."

"The eldest brother's youngest daughter learned this from her grandfather. She likes to hit people all the time. No one can control her except her brother and Jingxiu's daughter." Zhan Pianpian said with a smile.

Zhan Doudou was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said with emotion: "Twenty-five years have passed, and we are all grandmothers now."

"Red Bean Rice is not young anymore, but you are still not married?"

"That girl is so proud that she doesn't like any of the husbands I found for her."

When talking about his own daughter, Zhan Doudou couldn't help but sigh. She is almost thirty years old without realizing it, and she doesn't even have a lover. She is so worried!

"You can't force marriage," Si Lili comforted.

"Aren't you worried?" Haitang Duoduo asked.

She knew Li Jingyue, who was two or three years older than Hongdoufan and still unmarried, a true old maid.

Si Lili knew what Haitang Duoduo meant, and said with a smile, "I was worried before, but that girl is also very ambitious and wants to find a man like her father. But who in the world can compare to her father? So I have let it go now. To use her father's words, if we don't want to get married, then we don't have to get married. Anyway, our family doesn't lack a girl to eat. By the way, Duoduo, you are still single now, right? Are you not planning to get married?"

"I'm already married to Wu Xue. I will avenge my master sooner or later. Please be careful, my husband."

Ku He was killed by Li Chengzong, and there is nothing wrong with Haitang Duoduo wanting to seek revenge on Li Chengzong.

But if we trace it back, it was Ku He who killed Emperor Qing first, and Li Chengzong killed Ku He just to avenge his father's death.

It's just that there's no way to delve into this matter, and there's no way to reason with it, so Si Lili didn't even think about trying to persuade him, and smiled and said, "Then you probably won't be able to get revenge in this lifetime."

Haitang Duoduo sighed: "Yeah, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it in this lifetime."

Family members know their own business. Although she is the most likely to become a grandmaster among her peers, she still cannot even reach the threshold of grandmaster.

Even if she could become a grandmaster, what would that do?

Li Chengzong is really too strong.

So powerful that her master Ku He couldn't even receive a letter containing Li Chengzong's sword intent, let alone her desire to kill Li Chengzong for revenge. But she couldn't do that, because there was her apprentice, who was now a grandmaster.

Although he is not yet a match for Li Chengzong, Li Chengzong will eventually grow old.

Thinking of this, Haitang Duoduo turned her head and looked at one of the young people not far away.

Noticing Haitang Duoduo's gaze, Li Jingyue glanced back, then smiled at Hongdoufan and said, "I heard that your master has high expectations of you and wants you to avenge Grandmaster Kuhe?"

Before he finished speaking, a boy of about sixteen or seventeen said, "Sister, she is a grandmaster, can you beat her?"

This is Li Chengping's son. He did not work with his father, but instead became Yan Bingyun's disciple. He is quite familiar with the secret information of various countries.

Li Jingyue said unhappily: "What do you think?"

Although she was not convinced, the fact was that she was only at the peak of the ninth rank and was no match for Red Bean Rice.

The boy smiled awkwardly, "Big brother should be able to win, right?"

"It's not should, it's definitely, I can't beat Li Jingxiu." Red Bean Rice said with a smile.

Although she always knew that her master wanted her to seek revenge on her third uncle, Hongdoufan never had such thoughts, and she actually liked her third uncle very much.

Hearing his sister say this, Fan Liang was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion: "Sister, have you ever fought?"

Hongdoufan hummed, "A few years ago, I secretly sent my great-grandmother to Danzhou for burial. I met Li Jingxiu who was going to Danzhou for investigation. Third uncle asked us to spar with each other. At that time, he was already a grandmaster, and I was beaten by him."

"Pressure and attack?"

Fan Shuning, who was next to Fan Liang, joked, "Sister, your words are ambiguous."

Red Bean Rice's face instantly turned red: "You little bitch, you're asking for a beating!"

The two half-sisters were playing and fighting on the green grass, and the sound of their laughter was carried far away by the spring breeze...

"They get along pretty well. I was worried they might fight."

Fan Jian is already very old. Compared with his peers sitting with him, he looks at least ten years older and it seems that he has only two years left to live.

Not only him, but Liu Ruyu is the same, but she is in good spirits.

Lin Ruofu nodded in agreement with Fan Jian's words and said with a smile, "You know what, I didn't expect them to get along so well. It's quite surprising."

Fan Jian looked at Lin Ruofu, then at Li Yunrui, and suddenly joked, "Come to think of it, you two are the ones who surprised me. How come you are together again?"

"I don't think highly of him." Li Yunrui snorted.

Although she is already very old, Li Yunrui's heart will always be eighteen years old. How could she fall in love with an old man? Her heart will always be with her Zong'er.

Lin Ruofu also snorted: "You sound like this old man thinks highly of you."

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Fan Jian quickly changed the subject and asked, "How is Chen Pingping?"

"Can't die."

"That old guy is in very good health. He is your majesty's teacher. The emperor treats him with special favor and often uses his true energy to comb his body. I think he can survive to the end for us old guys." Lin Ruofu's tone was filled with jealousy, envy, and unwillingness to accept.

He really couldn't understand why that old guy Chen Pingping was so valued by Li Chengzong. He was also very outstanding, at least he didn't think he was worse than Chen Pingping.

After all, they were once his bedmates, so Li Yunrui could guess what Lin Ruofu was thinking. He sneered, "Don't be unconvinced. You are just not as good as Chen Pingping."

"How can I be inferior to him? I am a minister, and he is just a commoner, how can he be compared with me?"

Li Yunrui chuckled and was too lazy to argue with Lin Ruofu.

"Prime Minister Lin, when did the Qing Kingdom have the position of Grand Councillor?"

"Now there is only Huaguo, not Qingguo." Li Yunrui corrected.

Lin Ruofu then explained, "After Qing changed its name to Hua, the emperor began drastic reforms and formed a new departmental cabinet. Now all major decisions of Hua must be voted on by the cabinet. I am not afraid to tell you that the most recent vote was to go to war with your Northern Qi."

This made Fan Jian unhappy: "What do you mean by Northern Qi? I will always be a Qing citizen."

"No, shouldn't the focus be on declaring war on Northern Qi?"

Fan Jian was stunned and said with a smile: "I am just an old man, why should I care about these things? So are you going to start a war?"

"Nine cabinet ministers voted unanimously in favor of this. What do you think?"

"Alas, if the two countries go to war, the people of the world will suffer."

Before he finished speaking, Concubine Liu, no, Concubine Liu, smiled and said, "If you don't want to start a war, that's fine. Brother-in-law, ask Fan Xian to persuade your daughter-in-law to surrender directly. After all, she is your Majesty's aunt, and your Majesty will not treat her unfairly."

Fan Jian opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Fortunately, Liu Ruyu next to him took over the conversation and said with a smile: "Your Majesty will not listen to Xian'er on this matter. But why are you concerned about the affairs of the court now?"

"That is, I have to take care of the kids for my brat. I really don't have time. Otherwise, I would have been an official long ago."

This is true. When Li Chengzong was still the emperor, he asked Liu Guipin to serve in the government several times, but she was too busy and rejected Li Chengzong's kindness.

As Concubine Liu was talking, she suddenly sighed, "Come to think of it, I never thought that a woman would be able to become an official one day. All women in the world should thank Zong'er."

After saying that, a little kid ran over.

"Grandma, I'm hungry."

"I'm hungry. Let's go and find your dad with grandma."

Concubine Liu walked towards her son Li Chengping, holding her little grandson's hand.

Liu Ruyu was envious. Although she also had a son and a grandson, she still felt envious for no reason...

"Father, Third Uncle, it's time to eat."

Hongdoufan led a group of little girls to Fan Xian and Li Chengzong's side. Seeing Fan Xian's swollen old face, she couldn't help laughing, and then complained to Li Chengzong: "Third uncle, you're too harsh."

"Your father deserves to be beaten."

Li Chengzong stood up, looked at his niece whom he hadn't seen for several years, and said with a satisfied smile: "Not bad, a grandmaster, better than your father."

"I'm not as good as you."

"There's no point in competing with me. What, you really want to avenge your great uncle?"

Hongdoufan shook his head and smiled, "My master actually no longer has the intention to seek revenge on you. She has let go of the grudges from the past. It's just that she has been talking about it for so many years, so she has gotten used to it."

Li Chengzong nodded, but before he could say anything, Fan Xian spoke.

"Wait a minute, how do you two know each other?"

Li Chengzong ignored him and smiled at Hongdoufan: "You explain to your father that you have been chatting with your father and have not chatted with your second uncle and others. I will go to them to catch up..."
