Fish swimming around the world

These words made Jiang Fan feel warm in his heart, and the grudge just now gradually dissipated: "Oh - why blame him? It would probably be the same if it were me. The monster of unknown origin has become the regent, and he is also the emperor of the imperial court. The King of the West is also the Prime Minister of the Zhou Dynasty, and he also has an identity that he doesn’t know..."

The empress smiled and said, "I guessed it deep in his heart, but there is another thing you didn't expect. He thinks... Da Qin can already leave you."

Jiang Fan was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Yes, Lishan is on the right track, and the treasury is full as never before, but I have become the biggest hidden danger. I didn't expect you to tell me."

The empress said urgently: "I actually want to be honest with you."

Jiang Fan chuckled: "At night, at night..."

The empress gave him a hard roll of her eyes.

"Don't worry, he understands everything now and this kind of thing will never happen again."

"Well, I believe you can do it. Don't worry, if you explain the situation clearly, I can forgive Mr. Dao. After all..."

He sighed: "My father is the same. He will do anything for me."

"It is the hearts of parents in the world who are always worried about the safety and future of their children."

Jiang Fan nodded: "Yes, then Dao Lao is the person in charge of this formation?"

The empress said: "Yes, the formation needs someone to guard it all the time. Therefore, Mr. Dao rarely shows up. Most of the time, he stays alone in the attic on the top of Zhengyang Palace."

Jiang Fan said with admiration: "It's not easy. But fortunately, with him here, you can sit back and relax in Yangdu."

The Empress hummed: "I don't know how many storms Mr. Dao has shielded me from over the years, and now that he is older, the martial arts injuries he suffered in the early years have frequently recurred, and I don't know how much time he has left."

Jiang Fan pondered for a moment: "So, why are you so interested in beating the magic whip?"

The empress said seriously: "I know you have tried it, but the consumption was too high and you have been hesitating."

Jiang Fan smiled: "Don't think too much, just find an opportunity, but the prerequisite is that his half-father must recognize me as his son-in-law."

The empress smiled softly: "It's okay to bargain here and there. Dao Lao is sorry that you came first, but it's not too much."

"But speaking of this..." Jiang Fan smiled: "I really want to hear, what did you tell this dad about me just now?"

The empress snorted: "I said, you are my husband. If you don't want me to be a widow, just stop making trouble. Are you satisfied?"

"Satisfied, satisfied, ten thousand satisfied. Hahaha..."

Jiang Fan laughed like a fool, making everyone in Qingyi Alley confused.

The empress couldn't afford to lose that person with him, so she took one step into the air and floated into the mortal world.

Jiang Fan hugged Xixi and chased him in foolishly.

Dayan was talking to the empress: "Your Majesty, you came just in time. Today Xiaoxue made a goose stewed in an iron pot."

The empress nodded with satisfaction and looked back at Jiang Fan: "I heard that there is no goose in your hometown that can survive the winter?"

"Customs, customs." Jiang Fan said with a smile: "This is delicious, let's go to the small house in the middle of the lake."

Saying hello to Niu Dali, who was chopping firewood by the lake, the two of them walked into the warm room.

The empress took off her cloak and said, "This is the most comfortable place. The heater... is a good thing."

That's right, as early as three years ago, when the first batch of Lishan stoves were launched on the market, Mr. Jiang created a home-made heater. Now it is very comfortable for ordinary people to spend the winter.

"I'll bring you some ice cream later. It's really nice to eat ice cream in this room."

Jiang Fan said, put down Xiao Xixi, picked off a wine gourd and threw it to the empress: "Take a few sips first, and then tell me about you and the fat master."

The empress sat down and pondered for a moment: "There are some things that Taoist Master didn't tell me very clearly, and I don't know how to tell you. But to me, he is like a protector of the Tao."

Jiang Fan was stunned: "Protector of the Tao? Master Fatty is an outsider. Even if he is a protector of the Tao, he should be protecting a Taoist boy or something. How could it be you?"

The empress shook her head: "It's not good to say... When I was traveling around the world, I met Tao Zun on the bank of the Canglan River. I didn't know who he was, but I felt that he was very powerful, so I felt itchy and wanted to ask for advice. Ichiban.”

"It's the Canglan River again. This fat master seems to like floating here." Jiang Fan thought it was funny when he thought about the time when Tianjizi suddenly appeared on his boat and startled him.

"Let's have a fight. What was the result?"

The empress said: "You can imagine that I was no match for him back then. But Tao Zun seemed to admire me very much. After chatting for a long time that day, Tao Zun suddenly asked me why I practiced."

"What did you say?" Jiang Fan was very interested. In his opinion, people like Fat Master would never ask questions without reason.

"I said...to become stronger. He asked, why become stronger? I answered, in order to control my own destiny. He asked again, is it just for myself? I said, I have an ambition, and with my own strength, I need help. Help people.”

Jiang Fan became more and more curious. The fat master seemed to be interested in probing the empress's thoughts.

Sure enough, Tianjizi said, there are too many people in the world who need help. How many can you help?

The empress replied that she was just trying her best.

Tao Zun said that with greater ability comes greater responsibility, and ability and responsibility will eventually push a person to an unexpected position.

The empress didn't understand, and Tao Zun didn't say much, so he took her to a village. It was a very poor small village on the border of Daqin. Tao Zun told her that she did not need to go to such a big world, but hoped that she would put down her cultivation and live in this small village for a year like an ordinary person.

The empress actually listened to his advice and stayed there. Like an ordinary person, she farmed, gathered, wove, and cut firewood, busy every day to survive.

But at the end of the year, the empress was silent.

During this year, she saw with her own eyes that the villagers worked hard all year round, but they were hungry and clothed. Not only did they have to endure natural disasters, but they also had to endure heavy taxes and levies, and they had to face the occasional looting of barbarians.

And she herself had personally experienced the barbarians robbing the grass and grain, and even if she had not violated the agreement and used her cultivation, she would have been harmed by the barbarians.

When Daozun came again, this small village of more than 100 people had only more than 50 people left, and it was fortunate that the empress took action to save it. Daozun looked at her sitting alone on the ridge of the field and asked what she thought.

The empress said, the world is in chaos and the people are suffering.

Daozun said, I just let you see a small village.

The empress replied: A glimpse of the whole picture.

Daozun asked her, the world is so big, with your cultivation, how many people can you help?

The empress shook her head: "It can't help much, and it can only help for a while."

The Taoist asked again: Since it's just a drop in the bucket, why not give up.

The empress thought for a long time, but shook her head firmly and said, if the world is peaceful, if the government is clear, if the barbarians are gone, the people will be much better off.

The Taoist smiled and said, that's something that only the emperor can consider.
