Chapter 156 Ye Qingmei's Painting

Fan Bin, who was confined to seclusion and seeking a breakthrough in strength, had originally made up his mind that no matter what happened, he would not be disturbed during his seclusion.

No one can disturb him, his strength has broken through.

If there is any problem in the family, Fan Bin’s second and third brothers can handle it. If they really don’t have enough experience, there is also Fan Jian.

Today's Grand Master Fan family is extremely powerful.

This doesn't just apply to Fan Bin, but to everyone in the entire Fan family, they didn't get it for free.

Although there are many things happening in the capital of Qing Kingdom, not many of them can stump them.

After arranging all this, Fan Bin originally thought that he could retreat comfortably.

Unexpectedly, on the third day of his retreat, someone came to his door.

No one at home could stop him.

When Fan Bin met the other party, his tone was extremely bad.

"what happened?"

If the person who came didn't have a special identity, Fan Bin would be embarrassed to take action.

He was planning to slap the man to death.

Eunuch Hou was trembling with fear. To be honest, he himself was unwilling to come.

The Fan family is no longer what it used to be. Even back then, they were not so powerful. The words spoken by the father and son of the Fan family made Eunuch Hou feel like he might lose his life at any time.

They are so bold...

If it were any other family in Kyoto, they would have died countless times.

It just so happens that the Fan family has a special status. They had a special relationship with Emperor Qing before, and now their overall strength is enough to compete with the entire Daqing.

Faced with such a family, Eunuch Hou felt like a cold wind was blowing on the back of his neck.

If he fails to handle the situation properly, this old fox who has been a policeman in the palace for decades might end his life.

"My Grand Master Fan, please be a little more polite. After all, I am here on behalf of His Majesty."

As for Eunuch Hou himself, he would never dare to trouble Fan Bin.

Since he appears here, it means there is someone behind him.

Fan Bin also knew this very well.

If he hadn't been concerned about the people behind Eunuch Hou, he would have just not met him. With the current strength and status of the Fan family, they wouldn't be unable to deal with even a chief eunuch.

"What on earth do you mean, Your Majesty?"

Fan Bin was not polite, "He wouldn't be so idle that he would want to find someone to chat with him, right?"

Eunuch Hou wanted to cover his ears.

These treasonous words are a serious sin if you just hear them, let alone say them out loud.

Your Majesty, the current Supreme Being.

He was already the most noble person in the world, and now he has become a famous grandmaster.

To put it bluntly, their Majesty is the most honorable person in the world.

This is recognized not only by Qing Kingdom, but also by other countries.

Northern Qi, which has always been at odds with Daqing, usually dislikes Daqing in various ways.

From their own point of view, they have an irreconcilable relationship with Daqing.

But when they learned that the Emperor of Qing was also a grandmaster, they were still deeply shocked.

He used to speak sweet words all the time, but now he doesn’t dare to say such nonsense.

Compared to before, they have become much more honest.

As the chief eunuch in the imperial palace, Eunuch Hou received more intelligence than anyone else.

As far as he knew, officials from Northern Qi had already secretly delivered a letter of surrender to Daqing.

Although Your Majesty and the civil and military officials of Daqing look down upon such disloyal and unfilial guys.

But you cannot deny that these people will play a very important role in the future process of Daqing's unification of Northern Qi.

They will retain more population and land and minimize the losses caused by war.

Of course, this is based on Daqing's unification of the world.

From the perspective of Northern Qi, they are traitors to Qi.

Lingchi, or even cutting into pieces, is not excessive.

When Eunuch Hou saw these contents, he could also understand their Majesty’s current status.

Although they are not yet the true rulers of the world, the probability of their Majesties becoming the true rulers of the world is definitely greater than anyone else.

Under such circumstances, any disrespectful remarks towards their Majesty should not be allowed.

But he was just a small eunuch chief, how could he possibly control what the Daqing God of War said?
You know, the person standing in front of Eunuch Hou is very likely the most powerful grandmaster in the world.

none of them.

Considering this point of view, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with what Fan Bin said.

Even if Emperor Qing knew about it, he wouldn't be able to do anything to him.

In order to unify the world in the future, Emperor Qing will need help from others.

Even if the relationship breaks out, Emperor Qing won't be able to gain any advantage.

This is an easy result to determine.

It is precisely because of this result that everyone understands that what Fan Bin said does not matter.

No one can do anything to him.

But the listeners are different...

Emperor Qing couldn't do anything to Fan Bin, but could he not do anything to Eunuch Hou?
What if Emperor Qing turns his attention to him?
How should Eunuch Hou deal with it?
His heart was beating fast. Eunuch Hou, who felt that he had not lived enough, wanted to flee the scene at this time.

Of course, he was just thinking about it.

Where can he go if he fails to complete the task assigned to him by His Majesty?

"My great master Fan, please stop talking. Otherwise, I will have to cut my throat in front of you."

Eunuch Hou, who could no longer bear it, could only threaten his life.

This eunuch Hou has always been very nice to the Fan family.

It's not just Fan Xian. When Fan Bin first came to Kyoto, he went through a period of time when he was unfamiliar with the place.

Especially when he was working in the palace, Eunuch Hou helped him a lot.

Even considering the kindness they had shown each other in the past, Fan Bin could not really watch Eunuch Hou commit suicide in front of him.

"What exactly does your majesty mean?"

Seeing that he had frightened Eunuch Hou enough, Fan Bin decided not to scare him anymore.

After all, this matter has nothing to do with him and he is also a victim.

The one who was really causing trouble for Fan Bin at this time was Emperor Qing who was hiding in the palace.

"His Majesty wishes to summon you!"

"Now?"

Fan Bin was a little confused.

He was 100% sure that Emperor Qing did not dare to turn against him at this time.

The strength displayed by Fan Bin is slightly stronger than that of an average grandmaster.

Although Emperor Qing's strength at this time was far beyond that of an ordinary Grandmaster, he did not have an overwhelming advantage, especially in terms of speed.

The other major clans wanted to escape, and it was difficult for Emperor Qing to stop them.

In this situation, if he really breaks off relations with Fan Bin, Emperor Qing will be in big trouble.

Fan Bin did not show too much strength in other aspects, as he was afraid of irritating Emperor Qing. However, in terms of lightness and speed, Fan Bin was still very strong.

Under such circumstances, the probability of Emperor Qing breaking up with Fan Bin at this time is basically zero.

After all, once Emperor Qing fails to keep Fan Bin, Fan Bin, after falling out with Emperor Qing, can wreak havoc at will.

Emperor Qing could not accept this result no matter what.

The two of them are guarding different things and are afraid of different things.

In this situation, Fan Bin couldn't figure out why Emperor Qing was looking for him at this time?

"You'd better go quickly. His Majesty is waiting."

Eunuch Hou was terrified. He was really scared and couldn't get two words out of Fan Bin's mouth.

If Fan Bin really doesn't care, he would be resisting the emperor's order.

Eunuch Hou felt that no one could do anything to him.

After all, Grandmaster Fan Bin’s strength is there.

When Emperor Qing doesn't choose to turn against him, who can do anything to him?
But Fan Bin could not go, but Eunuch Hou had to report.

Once Your Majesty knows the result, will he vent his anger on Eunuch Hou?
Eunuch Hou was very unsure.

It was a hot day, but his neck was still cold. This was not a good sign.

"Let's go!"

Fan Bin did not make things difficult for Eunuch Hou.

Now that things have come to this, Fan Bin must go to meet the emperor this time.

He was a little curious at first.

He also couldn't understand what Emperor Qing wanted to do by looking for him at this time?
The two of them rushed all the way from Fan's house to the palace.

When the palace guards saw Fan Bin, they were extremely excited.

Although at this time Fan Bin was no longer the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards.

To a certain extent, he and these imperial guards who guarded the gate no longer had a superior-subordinate relationship.

But when the imperial guards saw him, there was still admiration in their eyes.

Actually, there is nothing that can be done about it.

For the powerful imperial guards, what they admire most are the strong and generals with outstanding military achievements.

Unfortunately, Fan Bin has both of these.

He is not only a rare grandmaster in the world, but also a god of war with outstanding military achievements.

Looking at the whole Daqing, everyone knows that he, the Daqing God of War, has made great achievements on the front line.

Daqing has a strong national strength and a powerful military.

It can be said that Daqing had an overwhelming advantage when facing other small countries, but it was different when facing Northern Qi.

As the two largest countries in the world.

Northern Qi has always been Daqing's biggest rival and strongest enemy. Although in terms of combat power, the Northern Qi army was slightly weaker when facing Daqin.

But Northern Qi has never been convinced.

The two sides fought hard on the battlefield, and most of the time the fight was back and forth, with no real winner or loser determined.

All we can say is that Daqing is stronger.

But ever since Fan Bin went to the front line that time, he led the Daqing army on a reckless charge.

Conquered half of the state.

If the Grand Master had not stepped forward at that time, they might have killed their way to the capital of Northern Qi.

Even if the grandmaster came forward it would be useless.

Their Daqing God of War is not only a first-rate commander of troops, but also has superb martial arts skills.

Facing Ku He, the famous imperial teacher of Northern Qi, Fan Bin fought back and forth with him.

Such a person who is strong enough and has great ability to command troops has helped Daqing achieve great achievements.

Any soldier from Daqing would give a thumbs up.

As the imperial guards of Daqing and Fan Bin's earliest subordinates, they felt proud whenever they mentioned this war god of Daqing.

Unconsciously, the way they looked at Fan Bin changed.

This is their idol!
Seeing the enthusiasm of his former subordinates, Fan Bin waved to them politely.

"Brothers, thank you for your hard work!"

"Thank you for your hard work, Commander!"

This was originally a bad taste of Fan Bin.

I didn't expect that he is still useful even though he has left the Imperial Guards.

After bidding farewell to the imperial guards at the door, Fan Bin followed Eunuch Hou all the way to Emperor Qing's bedroom.

Fan Bin had come to this bedroom countless times and was very familiar with its layout.

But this time, when Fan Bin came over, he was very surprised to find that the layout seemed to have changed.

The change is not huge, but it is real.

Fan Bin noticed this and looked around quickly.

He soon realized, what was different?
Originally, the area around Emperor Qing's bedroom was very plain and there was nothing there.

But this time, murals appeared inside the palace.

Although it does not take up a large area, it is extremely clear.

Once you enter the room, it's easy to see.

There is nothing strange about this. If someone suddenly adds more decorations to his or her room, it may be just a spur of the moment decision.

But Fan Bin was very keenly aware of the difference in this painting.

It looks like a temple!
But it is not the temple that most people know, but Fan Bin’s understanding of the temple.

It's a huge museum with railway tracks all around it...

Although it was not exactly the same as the museum Fan Bin knew, even the rails were quite different.

But Fan Bin still recognized it at a glance.

This kind of painting could not have been drawn by people of this era after seeing the temple.

The temple is very magical. It appears to ordinary people as they imagine it to be.

Therefore, for the vast majority of people who have seen the temple, the temple in their eyes is an unattainable temple.

The Northern Qi imperial palace was built according to the temples in people's minds.

This is probably the impression people of this era would have when they first see a temple.

Only Fan Xian saw a completely different scene when he saw the temple.

All he saw was a huge museum and long railway tracks...

Although the picture is blurry, it is not quite the same as what Fan Bin remembers.

But the museum and the railway tracks are still recognizable.

Just as Fan Bin was watching fascinatedly, he noticed footsteps behind him.

Grandmasters intentionally hide themselves, and they can even blend completely into the surrounding environment.

The people behind Fan Bin deliberately hid themselves.

But Fan Bin still noticed it.

But he pretended not to notice and continued staring at the painting.

"How is it? It's amazing, isn't it?"

When he heard the question from the person behind him, Fan Bin turned around in surprise.

"His Majesty!"

Looking at Emperor Qing who was less than five steps away from him, Fan Bin pretended to be surprised.

Emperor Qing was obviously very happy with Fan Bin's performance.

"It seems that you were completely attracted by this painting, so much so that you didn't even hear me approaching?"

"Your Majesty, I am terrified. What is this painting about?"

Fan Bin continued to act.

"This is what the temple really looks like! Ye Qingmei drew it back then, and I have kept it until now."

Ye Qingmei left behind a lot of things back then.

Now, some of those things are in the hands of the Empress Dowager, and the vast majority of the rest are in the hands of Emperor Qing.

This painting is obviously one of them.
