221. All of this Turns out to be a Bureau (7000 words)(1/3)
Hearing the old man's words, Fang Ze did not believe it easily. While he watched the old man warily, he glanced at Bai Zhi beside him, wanting to see if Bai Zhi recognized him.
After all, in Fang Ze's view, the person chosen by Mr. Bai to deliver items at such a critical moment must be an important figure in the Bai family and cannot be an unknown person. If everything is true, then Bai Zhi must know the identity of the other person.
.
And sure enough, after Bai Zhi took a closer look at the old man, he said in surprise, "Uncle Tian, is that you?"
Hearing Bai Zhi's words, the old man bowed slightly towards Bai Zhi again, and then said, "That's the old slave, Miss Bai Zhi."
Seeing the old man's response, Bai Zhi couldn't help turning his head and introduced Fang Ze, "Uncle Tian is my grandfather's waiter. He has served my grandfather for decades. He is one of his own."
After receiving Bai Zhi's confirmation, Fang Ze lowered his guard, and then he slightly gestured to several other people who were also under martial law, and then he bowed his hand to the old man, and then asked, "Uncle Tian, don't blame me.
The main reason is that I have encountered too many dangers along the way, so I am inevitably a little wary."
After explaining, Fang Ze also asked, "I wonder what the old man left me?"
After hearing Fang Ze's words, the old man said politely, "Mr. Fang Ze's words are serious. You should be more careful when walking in the spirit world."
"As for the things the old man left for you..." After saying this, he paused, then took out a wooden box from his sleeve, and handed it to Kuroyu who stepped forward to pick up the things.
Ze said, "I don't know. The old man just said to leave it to you."
Hearing what the old man said, Fang Ze also reached out curiously and took the wooden box from Hei Yu's hand.
The wooden box was black in color and exquisite in shape. It was engraved with patterns and the unique decorations of the nobility. Fang Ze examined it carefully and found that the aristocratic decorations were not from the Bai family, but... seemed to belong to the Si family in the past.
Immediately afterwards, he looked up and down the wooden box. The wooden box seemed to be made of a single piece of wood, without any gaps, locks, mechanisms, or parts that could be disassembled.
Fang Ze frowned slightly and thought deeply. For a moment, he tentatively used the [Darkness] ability borrowed from Miaomiao.
Sure enough, as soon as the [Darkness] ability was activated, the wooden box suddenly changed: the top cover turned into intertwined pieces of wood with a "knocking" sound, and then neatly and automatically shrank together, revealing the box.
internal stuff.
There is not much space inside the box, and there are only two items inside, one is a jade pendant, and the other is a letter.
Fang Ze first picked up the letter, opened it, and checked it.
As a result, Fang Ze couldn't help but be shocked at the first glance...
[Fang Ze. While writing this letter, I have been thinking about how to call you, old man. Should I call you Director Fang, the head of the Fang family, or... the first new noble born in the 50 years since the establishment of the Federation.
】
Seeing the content in his heart, Fang Ze was slightly shocked. His face remained calm, but he quietly observed the situation around him with his peripheral vision.
When Uncle Tian came over just now, Hei Po, Hei Yu and others were scattered around the perimeter and became alert. Bai Zhi, who was closest to Fang Ze, just saw Fang Ze want to read the letter and walked out four or five steps away. With her
The angle should be such that the content of the letter cannot be seen.
After confirming that he was "safe", Fang Ze felt slightly relieved, and then continued to read.
[Don’t wonder why I know your identity. In fact...not only me, He Weidao also knows your identity.]
【Everything you did was very careful and flawless. But you calculated everything and missed two points.】
[First, in order to destroy the Si family, He Weidao monitored the Si family and investigated the Si family for so long. How could he not know about your existence? 】
[The second thing is... with He Weidao's cautious character, how could he miss a legitimate daughter and a maid when executing the plan to exterminate the family? Obviously, the only survivor is He Weidao himself
The final exchange with the Si family was the only fire left for the Si family.】
[So, the moment you stood up and claimed your identity as a descendant of the Si family, he knew you were a fake. He also guessed the identity of your new noble. That’s why he has been testing you during this period, thinking
I need to find out whether you are a spy sent by an alien demigod.】
Seeing this, Fang Ze opened his mouth slightly for a moment, feeling a little enlightened.
No wonder He Weidao has been testing and tracing himself. She thought that he was dissatisfied with the descendants of the Si family, but unexpectedly, he discovered that there was a problem with his identity long ago.
And this also explains how Miaomiao escaped.
In fact, as early as when he learned about Miaomiao's life experience, Fang Ze was very doubtful: Can a maid use a space transfer type of Noble Phantasm to escape smoothly? This is too underestimated the federal means.
Now, everything is explained.
With this in mind, Fang Ze continued to look down.
[As for now, although he has let you go temporarily, it does not mean that you are safe.]
[You have to understand that the more relaxed you are, the more likely it is that he is plotting against you. What that guy likes most is to play with people's hearts and power. And he is really good at it.]
[Soon the entire eastern jurisdiction will be in chaos, and the chaos will be beyond your imagination. But...you have to know that all this is actually his plan, and it is a big picture that he has laid out for more than ten years.]
[All the forces that govern the region are like chess pieces that he has placed in their proper positions early. To be honest, sometimes I even suspect that this game has actually been taken care of long before the Plantagenet Incident.
He set the stage, and I was always included in his plan.】
[So, in order to prevent other people in the family from being plotted by him, I simply dissolved the family and asked them to live in seclusion to avoid this war. 】
When the letter came to this point, Fang Ze frowned slightly. Is all this a trap...?
And it was a plan that was laid out more than ten years ago, even before the Plantagenet Incident?
Fang Ze was a little doubtful.
Then he looked down.
[But forget it. All of this has passed. I'm going to die, so there's no point in worrying about this. Anyway, it's all for the survival of the human race. If you are plotted, you will be plotted.】
[But, I want to tell you, don’t learn what Tao is. His Tao has gone astray. Although he grew up in that war-torn era, he has never been on the front line, nor has he fought against demigods from outside the territory. So.
He believes that everything in the world can be solved by relying on power and conspiracy.】
[I’m telling you, that’s all bullshit! When you’re really fighting against an alien demigod with a real sword, the most important thing is strength! 】
【Only strength is the key to solving all problems!】
[If it hadn’t been for me hiding the sword for fifty years, if he hadn’t secretly achieved the ultimate achievement, no matter how many tricks he had, those wastes in West Dazhou wouldn’t have been able to solve this crisis at all!]
[So, improve your strength as soon as possible. If you don’t become a master, you will end up as an ant. If you are not a demigod, you are not even qualified to stand on the chessboard. 】
Seeing this, Fang Ze couldn't help but fell silent again.
To be honest, before today, Fang Ze did not agree with Mr. Bai's words. Power tactics and conspiracy itself have the effect of lifting a thousand pounds. According to history, a good counselor can even defeat a thousand armies.
But after seeing the power of demigods today, Fang Ze's thoughts have quietly changed: power and conspiracy are indeed good, but it seems that they can only have the greatest effect in peaceful times and when everyone abides by the rules.
In today's troubled times, in this world where great power belongs to oneself, when one's strength reaches a certain level, one can ignore all conspiracies and rules.
No matter how many schemes you make, I will kill them all with one blow.
Therefore, at this moment, Fang Ze really wants to improve his strength as never before so that he can participate in this wave of the times.
With this in mind, Fang Ze continued to look down.
[If nothing happens, I should be able to at least drag Jialandehou to death. If I'm lucky, I might even seriously injure other extraterritorial demigods. Calculating it this way, I should be able to buy you at least about a year.
.]
[During this period, you must not waste time, nor sit in a well and look at the sky. If you have the opportunity, you must go to the spirit world, go to the spirit world mountain, and fight with disaster creatures and demigods. This will have a great impact on your extraordinary path.
great help.】
[As for Xiao Zhi, I leave it to you. She is a poor child. She has had a very hard life these years. I hope you can treat her well.]
[Of course, it’s okay even if I’m not nice to her. Although I’m very old, I’m also an open-minded person. I know about feelings and can’t force them. But as her grandfather, I definitely want to hear you tell me why you gave up on her.
.As for when the time comes, you can decide whether you come down to find me or I go up to find you...]
Fang Ze:...
Fang Ze felt a little cold on the back of his spine.
Damn it, just write a letter, what are you threatening for? If you really pretend that there is no threat, why don’t you know how to stop the dialogue?!
After complaining like this, Fang Ze continued to look down,
[Okay. There is nothing else to do. Old man, I am going to kill the traitor. 】
【you......】
Although Mr. Bai said "there is nothing else to do" in that paragraph, he rambled on for another half a page afterwards, most of which were Mr. Bai's various instructions, nagging, and complaints.
For example, "I thought that Jialan Houde was not a good person back then, and I always wanted to fuck him, but I never had the chance. Now, after waiting for him for fifty years, I can finally fuck him. I am so beautiful, old man."
For example, "By the way, you are really good at choosing affiliated cities. It's hard to choose any city. You have to choose Congyun City. Do you know what He Weidao smiled like after you chose Congyun City?"
"
For example, "When fighting disaster creatures and demigods, you must be flexible. If you can fight, fight. If you can't fight, run away. If you can't run, remember to send Xiao Zhi away in advance."
Etc., etc.....
To be honest, when he first read this letter, Fang Ze was a little nervous and serious, but the more he looked at it, the more he felt that this was actually a letter from home, a letter written to his grandson-in-law.
Sometimes when he read the letter, it seemed as if an old man with kind eyes and kind eyes appeared in front of his eyes, but he was also true-hearted and dared to love and hate.
So, after reading the letter, Fang Ze solemnly put the letter away close to his body.
Then he looked at another item in the wooden box: the jade pendant.
Picking up the jade pendant, a small space suddenly appeared in front of Fang Ze's eyes. There were several things in the space: two Tuifang fruits and a booklet.
To be continued...
