Chapter 471 Farewell
After the two left, Yuan Manshuo reached out and rubbed his temples, picked up the teapot and wanted to refill himself with tea, but found that the tea in it had been emptied by himself at some point.
"Let me come, Master Shuo." Aoi gently opened the door, then walked over to take the teapot from Yuan Manshuo's hand, and asked worriedly, "Are you okay? You should rest more."
"It's nothing, just wait for this period of time to pass." Yuan Manshuo shook his head, and said with some concern, "You have to arrange everything before you can rest at ease."
Aoi frowned in disapproval. It was not the first time Yuan Manshuo said this, but it was never completed on time, and would always be delayed for various reasons, but she did not raise any objections after all, just rolled up her sleeves Replace the teapot with new tea, then pour boiling water into it, wait for two or three minutes, then pour the boiling hot tea into the teacup.
The hot air from the mouth of the cup blurred Yuan Manshuo's eyebrows, his eyes were far away, and he seemed a little lost in thought. At this moment, he suddenly heard familiar footsteps approaching him from far and near. direction approaching.
Yuan Manshuo blinked and came back to his senses, he understood, raised his head and called softly: "Lai Guang."
Yuan Laiguang's figure appeared in front of Yuan Manshuo, he turned his head and glanced at the direction where Ping Yisheng and Tachibana Qingheng left, his expression was not very happy: "Leaving?"
Yuan Manshuo smiled lightly and waved at Minamoto Raimitsu. Minamoto Raimitsu came over and sat beside him, raised his head and looked at his expression carefully, he seemed to be relieved, and then slightly With dissatisfaction said: "Just send them away at will, we are not afraid of them, at most we need to spend a little more effort."
Yuan Manshuo knew what Minamoto was worried about, his expression softened, he stretched out his hand to touch Minamoto's head, and said in a gentle voice: "One thing more is worse than one thing less, there is still a lot to do next, There's no time to dwell on it."
That's right, in fact, the Yuan family didn't worry much about the possible suppression at all. After all, if they really annoyed them, maybe in the next year they would see the "spectacle" of the curse spirit holding a banquet on the palace. Yuan Manshuo simply felt troublesome... Perhaps there was still a trace of anger towards Emperor Qihe in his heart?He simply left these "inhumane" things to "insiders" who are proficient in this way. Now it seems that the two sides... no, he is quite satisfied. As for Tachibana Qingheng and Heping Yisheng It is acceptable for the time being, the only person who may be injured is Emperor Qihe.
"But..." Minamoto Raimitsu seemed to want to say something else.
"Laiguang." Yuan Manshuo sighed, "Trust me."
Minamoto's voice stopped abruptly, he lowered his eyes and was silent for a while, then slowly said: "I don't mean to disbelieve Saku, it's just..."
Minamoto Raimitsu's lips moved, and he didn't want to, but he was always worried uncontrollably: What if one day Sakuya is like his father?
...Like his father, without giving him any time to react, he just disappeared into his world unexpectedly.
So he has always appeared by Yuan Manshuo's side from time to time recently, as if he can only feel at ease when he sees Yuan Manshuo is safe and sound, but at the same time, he also sees that Yuan Manshuo has not had much rest during this time And the tired look, it seems that he has been supporting himself with one breath, and will fall precariously at some point.
Minamoto Raimitsu slowly clenched his fists. In his mind, what Genmanchu said before, the vows he made, and his "fear" that he would also lose Sakumo were entangled in his mind, inexplicably A strong desire for protection developed.
Now I can't protect Shuo well at all. Yuan* is only eight years old* Lai Guang thinks rationally and clearly that he must become stronger, just like his father, so he was busy when Yuan Manshuo was busy. , silently increased his training intensity, but before that...
He looked up at Yuan Manshuo, pursed his lips, sure enough, he should take care of Shuo first.
Yuan Laiguang had no intention of letting Yuan Manshuo know what was going on in his heart, so he looked away, changed the subject and said, "Suo, that [bondage] you mentioned earlier..."
"Are you interested in this?" Yuan Manshuo suddenly realized that Minamoto Laiguang really only understands the basic content of [Restraint]. Now there is a ready-made example, so it is good to explain it in advance, so as to prevent accidentally being cheated in the future , "All the conditions between me and Ping Yisheng and Tachibana Qingheng are based on the existence of this [bondment]."
"That's what I care about." Minamoto Raimitsu showed a puzzled look, "If the content of the [restraint] is indeed as stated, then since we have wiped out the Fujiwara family, the conditions on our side should have already changed." It's done, so now it's the Fujiwara family who didn't 'deliver' the thing to us. If we count it this way, even if Mrs. Heira and Tachibana snatch it away, it's the Fujiwara family who violated the [restraint], and it has nothing to do with us. Why? ..."
"On the contrary, Laiguang." Yuan Manshuo explained, "If you think about things like [restraints] carefully, there are some loopholes that can be exploited. I prefer to call it 'the establishment of the transaction'."
"trade?"
"Yes, sometimes the things in the hands of both parties are not equivalent, but if one party happens to need it and doesn't care about the 'price difference', then the transaction can also be established, so in essence, what is needed is that both parties recognition, especially the [bondage] between people." Yuan Manshuo is very satisfied with this, after all, this seemingly perfect thing, but in fact has various hidden conditions, sometimes it does have miraculous effects, " Just like this time."
"That is to say..." Minamoto Raimitsu reacted slowly, "Actually, the Fujiwara family's request to us is...we want to take everything they left behind, and our request is...let them die?"
What kind of weird condition is this?Minamoto Raimitsu did not participate in this action against the Fujiwara family, so he couldn't imagine what the situation was like at the scene, but even a person who knows nothing about [restraint] can be sure just by the literal meaning One of them must be out of their minds, otherwise how could there be such a weird [restraint]?
"Although it sounds a bit strange, it is true." Yuan Manshuo was not surprised that this kind of [restraint] can be established. After all, it is people who decide [restraint], turning it into a word game It is also a very normal thing, "So now our Yuan family has unilaterally failed to meet the conditions, and this is what Ping Yisheng and Tachibana Qingheng are worried about. They are afraid that if we don't let us complete the [binding], we will make a Something they don't want to see."
"So that's how it is... huh?" Minamoto Raimiko nodded thoughtfully, but then he suddenly realized that there was something that didn't make sense, "Saku, even if there are so many 'flexible' places in [Restraint], but the basic The rules won't change, will they?"
"Naturally." There was a smile in Minamoto's eyes, and it seemed that Raikou had also noticed it.
"That is to say, if one side of the [restraint] 'disappears', the [restraint] will also be invalid." Minamoto Raimitsu raised his question, "That is to say, all the conditions were not established at the beginning. Then why did Yoshinori Ping and Qingheng Tachibana still agree in the end?"
Minamoto Raimitsu didn't believe that they would not have guessed this possibility. The four major Genpei Fujitachi clans have always been in a delicate balance with each other. Now that the Fujiwara family disappears, if the Taira and Tachibana clans don't have any ideas, That was a strange thing, but he couldn't figure it out, this basic rule was clearly on the surface, why did they act as if they didn't see it?
"It's not that they didn't see it, but they can't afford to gamble." Yuan Manshuo patiently explained to Minamoto Laiguang, "The magic technique to verify whether it is true or not can only judge whether the information I said is true or not. , As for who I signed the [Restraint] with, and whether the target is still alive, they don’t know at all. Even if they can be [-]% sure that I am only using the name of [Restraint] to achieve my goals, but there is still [-]% It's possible that this is true once..."
Yuan Manshuo picked up the teacup and moistened his throat, the corners of his lips curled up into a smile: "They don't want to end up with the Fujiwara family."
"So there are so many things there?"
"Laikou will use it in the future." Yuan Manshuo comforted, this kind of thing is very common in Heianjing, and there are many examples to look for, "Don't worry, you will have experience after trying it a few times."
Yuan Laiguang nodded, silently digesting in his heart, at this moment, he saw Aoi winking at him behind Yuan Manshuo, and then secretly pointed out the window, his eyes quickly turned to Glanced outside.
Although the weather is still not good, but you can clearly feel that the sky is getting dark, Yuan Laiguang understood instantly, and then said softly to Yuan Manshuo: "Suo, let's go eat something."
"Is it already this time?" Yuan Manshuo was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously remembered the documents in the study. It seemed that there were still a lot of unfinished business. If it was just him, he would not care, but there are still Minamoto Raimitsu... Raimitsu is still growing his body.
Yuan Manshuo thought about it, turned his head to Aoi and said: "Aoi, today's meal doesn't need to be sent to the study, I will go with Laiguang."
"Yes, Master Shuo." Aoi bowed her head and saluted, with a look of joy on her face. The meals delivered these days were always brought back intact after they were cold. She was always worried that Yuan Manshuo would If you can't hold on, it's still Master Laiguang who can help.
But then, she thought of another thing. She moved her lips in some embarrassment, and finally asked cautiously: "Master Shuo, about the time of the succession ceremony..."
Yuan Manshuo paused for a moment, his face seemed to be blank for a moment, he closed his eyes, and thought to himself that he had forgotten... Did he really forget or was he trying to escape and refused to accept it, maybe Even he himself can't tell the difference, but now it seems...
"Let's arrange it in three days." Yuan Manshuo looked at the sky outside the window, and said slowly after a long while, "It's time... to have an explanation."
