Being a Lady of an Influential Family
Chapter 504: People Are Dying! (one more)
Seeing Ren Nanyan Fu Fengcheng again did not have any special feelings, as if the dying old man in front of him was really just an ordinary person who had met once.
Ren Nanyan looked a little weaker than when he was in Jiazhou City, as if he might close his eyes and die at any time.
He slowly opened his eyes when he heard the footsteps, stared at Leng Sa and Fu Fengcheng who came to him for a long time, and then said in a hoarse voice, "Master Fu, goodbye last year... It's been a long time."
Fu Fengcheng pulled Leng Sa to sit down opposite him, and asked calmly, "Is there anything Elder Ren wants to say?"
Ren Nanyan laughed twice, but the laughter was so weak that the two people sitting opposite could hardly tell whether he was really laughing.
It's hard to see any smile on the skinny face with sunken eye sockets.
"I... really can't be reconciled..." Ren Nanyan said.
Fu Fengcheng raised his eyebrows slightly, but he didn't speak but just watched Ren Nanyan calmly.
Although he was unwilling to speak, Ren Nanyan's tone was very calm.
"I planned for half my life, but it ended like this in the end. Does Young Master Fu think...people like me deserve what they deserve?" Ren Nanyan asked.
Fu Fengcheng said indifferently, "Success or failure, right or wrong, Mr. Ren must have his own judgment in his heart, no need for outsiders to comment."
Ren Nanyan showed a strange expression on his skinny face, shook his head and said, "I just don't understand, so I want to ask Fu Shao."
Leng Sa looked at Ren Nanyan curiously. She thought that Ren Nanyan was going to make a deal with Young Master Fu if he had to see Fu Fengcheng, but she just wanted to ask a question?
But it doesn't make sense if you think about it carefully, after all, Ren Nanyan is going to die, no matter how many tricks he has, it's useless.
Right now, it seems that Qu Jing doesn't need him to plan.
Fu Fengcheng frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
Ren Nanyan was not in a hurry, he just leaned in the wheelchair and waited. As a person whose life had come to an end and had nothing to do, he had nothing to worry about.
In the past few days, he seemed to be a different person, even his mind was unusually clear. But only those around him knew what he had experienced in just ten days.
No one abused or mistreated him, but the circumstances of his life didn't really matter to a man who knew his own death was imminent.
When he just fell into the hands of Leng Sa, he also cursed crazily, his heart was full of hatred and resentment, but he was soon knocked down by a sudden heart attack and almost died. Afterwards, he also begged, begging Leng Sa to find someone to operate on him, and Hua Guoshou to see him. He once paranoidly believed that Hua Guoshou would be able to save him.
Leng Sa found the best doctor in Jiazhou City to see a doctor for him, but he also told him clearly that Mr. Hua is indeed in Jiazhou now, but he brought people to do free clinics and post-disaster epidemic prevention work in the worst-hit places in Jiazhou . Moreover, Mr. Hua was already seventy years old, so it was impossible for him to rush to Jiazhou City in a short time. He suspected that Leng Sa wanted him to die and deliberately refused to let Hua Guo come, and cursed her through gritted teeth.
After that, Ren Nanyan was sluggish for a few days, and then became like this.
It seems that there is really only a thin line between thinking about it and not thinking about it.
"What does Mr. Ren want to know?" Fu Fengcheng asked.
Ren Nanyan looked at him and said, "Isn't what I...have done all my life ridiculous?"
Fu Fengcheng shook his head and said, "No one laughs at Mr. Ren." Although Fu Fengcheng had never experienced that era, he knew that it was a crazy era, and any kind of things were possible.
Ren Nanyan let out a weird laugh, "No? If Fu Shao was me, what would you do?"
Fu Fengcheng frowned slightly, looked at Ren Nanyan for a moment and said, "Maybe I don't know how to do anything." Leng Sa felt that this answer was a bit strange, but Ren Nanyan understood, and changed the question, "If Fu Shao was in the same place thirty years ago? Situation, what will you do?"
Fu Fengcheng pondered for a moment, "Maybe I will become the second father, or maybe I will become the second Lao Zhangxiang, or... I have died in the battlefield or officialdom long ago, and I will not live to be here at all." Fu Fengcheng didn't feel that he How much better than the previous generation, no one in that era must be better than others.
Ren Nanyan was silent for a long time, then suddenly laughed and said, "I understand, Fu Shao wants to say that no matter whose path you choose, you will not choose the same path as mine, because you are stronger than me, and you are all stronger than me. I am strong."
Fu Fengcheng was silent again, although he didn't say it bluntly, but he really meant it.
It's not that Fu Fengcheng is proud and complacent, but that he doesn't agree with Ren Nanyan's path from the beginning to the end.
To put it nicely, it means making a decision before moving, strategizing, hiding strength and waiting for the opportunity. But... what kind of talent needs to hide their strength and wait for the opportunity? In the final analysis, isn't it just that you don't have enough strength or courage? Even if you don't compare with Dujun Long and Dujun Fu, Ren Nanyan is not the most outstanding general among the contemporary generals in the capital. But he is the most ruthless, most scheming, and most ambitious one.
It was this ambition that allowed him to accumulate astonishing power in the past 30 years, hiding behind the scenes and manipulating the situation in such an intricate environment as the capital. But it was also because of this that he lost his real opportunity. Some things are used to the darkness, no matter how strong they are in the darkness, they will become vulnerable once exposed to the sun.
Those who started at the same level as Ren Nanyan back then would all be successful as long as they were alive, but he... No matter how hard he worked, he was nothing more than a retired teacher who had taught in school for more than ten years in the eyes of outsiders.
For most people, such an achievement is glorious enough. But it was far from enough for Ren Nanyan. What he wanted was power, but...power was something he had never been contaminated with in his life.
It's not so much that Ren Nanyan's terminal illness forced him to lose his sense of proportion, it's better to say that it's the desire for power that can't be suppressed.
Ren Nanyan has always looked down on Fu Zheng, but now he understands that he is more scheming and strategic than Fu Zheng, but Fu Zheng is more courageous and bloody than him.
Fu Zheng has ambitions, so he dared to abandon his stable life as a rich young man at a young age and go out to join the army. From following others to accumulate military merits on the battlefield, he became a force by himself by pulling up a team.
Ren Nanyan also had ambitions. When he needed to make a choice, he ruthlessly chose to kill his father and brother and break away from his original family. He was born as a general, but he didn't even go to the battlefield a few times in his whole life. It's not that he doesn't have the ability, otherwise he wouldn't be able to be the teacher of the military elite, he just doesn't want to dare.
People will die at any time on the battlefield, and he cannot die before his great cause is accomplished.
In the end, he did not die on the battlefield, but died of terminal illness, how ridiculous.
Ren Nanyan asked a seemingly irrelevant question, "Young Master Fu, are you afraid of death?"
Fu Fengcheng was silent for a moment, then said calmly, "I'm afraid."
Ren Nanyan stared at him and said, "As the young marshal of the Fu family, it stands to reason that you don't have to go to the battlefield to charge in person, and no one will say anything. Since you are afraid of death, you are not afraid of dying on the battlefield someday?"
This is not impossible. Modern warfare is far more dangerous and full of uncertainties than ancient times. It is possible that a stray bullet or even a cannonball on the battlefield will send a stunning general to the west.
Fu Fengcheng said, "If you don't even have this bit of courage, why should you support your so-called ambition? People may choke to death on food, so don't I need to eat?"
This metaphor is actually not appropriate, but Ren Nanyan was still stunned, as if he also thought this question was funny, smiled and shook his head a little weakly, "I have no problem, thank you, Young Master Fu."
It's not that he doesn't understand a lot of things and he has to ask someone, it's just that he chose the wrong road early in the morning, but he has been on this road for more than 30 years, and it's too late to turn back.
He just didn't want to admit he was wrong.
Ren Nanyan raised his hand, took out something tremblingly and handed it to Fu Fengcheng: "Please, give this to Ah Jing."
Fu Fengcheng reached out to take it and took a look, it was a jade pendant. Almost no one uses jade pendants anymore, it is obviously an old object.
The jade pendant was crystal clear and moist, as if it had been covered with a thin layer of oil, obviously because someone often held it in their hands and played with it.
Fu Fengcheng spread the jade pendant in his hands, and saw an ancient Chinese character Ren engraved on the lower right corner of the jade pendant.
Ren Nanyan said, "Although... I really don't have any bargaining chips worth moving the Fu family, but I still have something... Young Master Fu will be interested. I only want one thing."
Fu Fengcheng said, "Mr. Ren, please tell me."
Ren Nanyan said, "Leave Ah Jing a way out. I was the one who delayed him. No matter whether the Fu family wants to imprison him or exile him, I only ask Fu Shao to keep him alive."
Fu Fengcheng didn't answer, and Ren Nanyan didn't seem to care. He pressed hard on the armrest of the wheelchair, only to hear a light click, and a small box popped out from under the armrest.
The box was very small and naturally it couldn't hold anything. Ren Nanyan tremblingly took out a folded letterhead from it and handed it to Fu Fengcheng, "The things on it should be enough to buy Ah Jing's life. Of course...it's here Whether Fu Shao agrees or not, I have no choice."
Fu Fengcheng took it over and glanced at it, then said in a deep voice, "I promise Mr. Ren, try to save Qu Jing's life."
"Thank you." Ren Nanyan smiled lightly.
The two walked out of the place where Ren Nanyan lived temporarily, and Leng Sa couldn't help but look back at the tent behind him, feeling that Ren Nanyan was really a bit of a person that people don't know how to evaluate.
"What did he give you to make you agree to keep Qu Jing alive?" Leng Sa asked curiously.
Fu Fengcheng handed over the letter paper in his hand, and Leng Sa took it over and looked at it in surprise. He raised his eyes and looked at Fu Fengcheng, "Sun Liang and the Nile people have secretly reached an agreement." Not only that, the Nile people have already entered the country secretly.
If Ren Nanyan hadn't told them, neither the Fu family's intelligence personnel nor Fu Fengcheng's own people would have known about it at all.
"Is Sun Liang crazy?" Leng Sa couldn't help asking.
Fu Fengcheng said in a deep voice, "It's not crazy. He gave the original Shen family's territory to the Nile people. The Nile people will help him contain the Yue family and help him resist all the enemies from the south when necessary. They can even provide him at any time." Weapons. That piece of land was not his in the first place, and it would be best if he could try to get it back in the future, and he has nothing to lose if he doesn’t get it back.”
Leng Sa said: "No wonder he dealt with the Shen family first, and it turned out to be a deal with the Nero people. Do you want to notify Shen Sinian immediately?"
Ren Nanyan was indeed very sincere. Not only did Sun Liang trade with the Niloticians, but there were even hidden places where the Nilotic soldiers who had already entered the country were hidden.
If the Yue family or the Fu family used the Yue family to go to the southwest, if they didn't know the news, they might be killed if they were not careful.
Even if the Nile people suddenly attacked the Yue family, it was not impossible to be caught off guard. After all, everyone knew that Sun Liang was in the northwest, and the Yue family would not be so well prepared.
Fu Fengcheng lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Let us keep an eye on it first, and I will talk to my father in person when Qujing is resolved. It may not be a good thing to scare the snake now, since the Nile people have been hiding for so long and have not followed Sun." There must be some scruples about acting together, the later they act, the better for us."
Leng Sa could only sigh and said, "That's the only way to go." It's really troublesome.
It's 2 o'clock in the afternoon, what's the matter (づ ̄3 ̄)づ
