Chapter 95: The pit

Just by the West Lake in Hangzhou, it was almost dusk, and the lake and mountains were all melting into the golden light, and it was indescribable beauty. In this twilight, Fan Xian, who was single, came to a hill by the lake, looked at the young man holding a green banner, turned his head and said, "I heard that you have recently told fortunes in Hangzhou, and have won the favor of some ladies?"

The young man holding the green banner is naturally the closed disciple of Dongyi City Sigu Sword, the ninth-grade master who helped Fan Xian kill Yan Shendu. Regarding this person's existence and his later help, Fan Xian has always felt a bit ridiculous, just like those pioneer dramas I heard of in my previous life. No matter how people savor it, they feel a strange smell in their mouths.

Although the idiot Sigu Jian seemed to think clearly, Fan Xian always felt that this matter was too nonsense. Although few people in the world knew the relationship between Wang Shisanlang and Sigu Jian, if Fan Xian turned against him, how could Sigu Jian explain to the eldest princess or Yan Xiaoyi?

Wang Shisanlang's face was facing the West Lake, and a faint golden light reflected his handsome face, coated with a layer of pleasant light, which was extremely gentle.

"Now, the whole Jiangnan knows that I am an expert in your personal relationship with the adults." The young man said with a kind smile: "Of course, those officials will give me some thin face. Of course, this fortune-telling business is not much worse."

A light breeze blew from the lake, and went up along the green trees under the hills. It only slightly moved a corner of the green banner in Shisanlang's hand, but the word "Iron" was revealed.

After experiencing the storm of the investment bank's encroachment on Mingjia's stocks, those who had been in Mingyuan at that time had already guessed that this young man standing behind the shopkeeper of the investment bank must be the master whom Mr. Xiao Fan used to monitor the money bank.

The confidant of the imperial envoy naturally became prosperous in the Jiangnan area.

"Fortunately, you don't have the habit of harming the good girl." Fan Xian smiled and stood beside him. He looked at him with a complicated feeling in his heart.

The green hills by the lake, the lake surface is covered with golden light and radiance moistens its face. This scene made Fan Xian think of the man closest to the world on the cliffs of Danzhou many years ago. He seemed to be surrounded by a bright ball.

The man covered in a black cloth seemed to be saying goodbye to somewhere. What about Shisanlang? Fan Xian subconsciously shook his head, not understanding why he always used to connecting this gentleman with the blind uncle.

He missed Wuzhu very much, especially in such a stable situation in Jiangnan. He didn't know if Uncle Wuzhu's injuries had been cured, and even Chen Pingping didn't know where Wuzhu was hiding to recover from his injuries.

And what kind of injury is going to take care of for more than a year?

Fan Xian frowned.

Wang Shisanlang glanced at him curiously and asked, "Mr. Fan, do you have any worries?"

"It's the land." Fan Xian said directly without hesitation: "I have something I need your help."

"What's the matter?"

"I am heading towards the crown prince, and the poisonous fog is everywhere along the way, and the road is difficult and I am a little worried about his body." Fan Xian said with a calm expression.

Wang Shisanlang frowned slightly, his breathing became slightly heavier. After thinking for a long time, he slowly said: "The Imperial Guard, the Supervision Office has been added to the Qingguo Tiger Guard. This kind of defense is so tight. Even if I die, I may not be able to get close to him."

Fan Xian smiled: "You misunderstood what I mean."

Wang Shisanlang looked at him without saying a word.

"Bring him the antidote balls for me." Fan Xian lowered his head slightly, as if he was avoiding the increasingly thick golden light on the lake. "Secretly protecting him for me to ensure his safety along the way."

Wang Shisanlang frowned even more, and hesitated at all. After hesitating for a while, he said softly: "Why? With my understanding of the situation in Kyoto, Qing Kingdom, the eldest princess was imprisoned, and the prince obviously lost power. There is no one to compete with you under the Emperor of Qing Kingdom."

Fan Xian smiled, not knowing how to explain, so he simply didn't explain.

"What happened to Kyoto?" Wang Shisanlang asked curiously like a child: "This matter won't have anything to do with you, right?"

He subconsciously used your honorific title. But Fan Xian spat and said angrily: "I am in Jiangnan, and no matter how long my hands are, I will reach Kyoto."

Wang Shisanlang thought about it, recognized his explanation, scratched his head and said, "But... the prince went south all the way. It seems that your Majesty seems to have some ideas. Lord Fan, you want me to protect him. Have you guessed something? But if I guess it is right... wouldn't you go against Your Majesty of the Kingdom? Now I have long become a well-known secret. Isn't you worried about going against Your Majesty of the Kingdom so clearly?"

"Forget it, stop guessing." Fan Xian sighed, "This matter has nothing to do with Your Majesty. It is purely the request of Wan'er's letter. After all, I am a half-child of the royal family, and I have to pay some."

Wang Shisanlang smiled, knowing that he was telling a lie, but he didn't reveal it.

Fan Xian frowned and looked at him, saying, "Don't laugh like Master Rabbit. It seems that you are not a fool either..."

Wang Shisanlang spread his hands and said, "When have I been stupid?"

"When I killed Brother Xiaojian." At this time, Fan Xian had already learned from Shisanlang's mouth the specific process of attacking Yuantai Camp at night. He knew Shisanlang's bravery that day, and sighed countless times. At this time, he repeated it again, "The warrior...is very easy to die."

Wang Shisanlang laughed at himself and said, "I probably only get used to this kind of battle."

Somehow, Fan Xian suddenly thought of Brigitte Lin playing the powerful general, and laughed absurdly, then gently patted his shoulder in Wang Shisanlang's blank eyes: "Your master asked you to follow me, probably for the sake of many years... Since that's the case, I'd better cherish my life... On the line of Nanzhao, you can just follow me secretly, and it's best not to take action."

After a moment of silence, he said, "I'm not trying to threaten you, but the Ming family is now in my hands, and the power of Neiku East Road is also in my hands. You should know that I have worked well with Ling Shi in the past two months, so please help me."

Seeing the green banner disappearing into the golden willows by the lake, Fan Xian fell silent. He squatted down and sat on the green hills, staring at the beautiful West Lake and the Broken Bridge that did not exist and had never existed before.

If Wang Qinian, who knew the inside story, would have been scared to death and thought he was crazy. However, Fan Xian knew that he was not crazy and had to defeat the prince in the past. It was because if the prince succeeded to the throne, he would not have a good life.

At this time, to save the life of the prince, it is to cause trouble for the Emperor Qing State - because once the eldest princess and the prince completely burp, there will be no buffer between him and the emperor, and the power reduction will come soon. Fan Xian is even more worried about the safety of Chen Pingping and Fan Jian.

Fan Xian knew in his heart that the Emperor Qing State was a person with great reputation. From this palace incident, he could observe very well. A royal scandal. In order to cover up this matter, the emperor killed hundreds of people in the palace and threw out all the details of Yan Bingyun's betrayal of the East China Sea island-slaughtering incident that had been under the case for a long time.

In this way, there are very real reasons for the collapse of the eldest princess, but the emperor had to take so many turns, which shows that he did not want his reputation to be damaged at all. This is not a scandal of the royal family. This is a scandal of the eldest princess, that's it.

The arrangement of the prince also illustrates this point. The emperor must be very troubled about how to depose the crown prince. He is unwilling to slap himself in the face. The prince has been so pure and peaceful in the past two years. What excuse can the emperor find?

Many things will definitely happen during the Nanzhao period, and Fan Xian sent Wang Shisanlang to pass by the variable, which was to digest some of those things.

Fan Xian was not so stupid that he protected the prince again. He just wanted to cause some small trouble for the emperor so that the emperor would not notice him so early. He noticed the investment bank and was moved by the two old men behind him.

He missed Uncle Wuzhu. He knew that in the world of Qingguo, there were many people he cared about, and for these people, he had to stay here. If it were just Fan Xian himself, he was really afraid of nothing. Even if he broke up with the emperor, he could be very arrogant and pretended to be blunt and put a middle finger on the imperial city.

In the eyes of the second prince and many smart people, everything around Fan Xian is actually power on paper, which is vulnerable. He himself knows that the people of this world have a natural worship of imperial power. Not to mention the Supervisory Office, even his Qi Nian group, Mr. Xiao Yan, who is far away in Kyoto, may stand opposite him because of a decree.

However, even if everything around him was taken away by the emperor's will, he would not be afraid and would not be criticized by his son.

Because he has a heart of a modern man who has been paused for a long time, he has never had any awe of the things like imperial power, because he has the ability to discuss with Qiye and organize a process flow for internal warehouses, because he himself is a ninth-grade master who is good at killing people.

He also has boxes, 419 emperor betrothals, and 5 Zhu Uncle.

Fan Xian sat silently on the green hill beside the West Lake, squinting his eyes at the red mute clouds in the distance, thinking to himself, if one day he was forced to give the middle finger at the imperial city, what a spectacular scene it would be!

Qing Kingdom is the world's most powerful country. In the past decade, Princess Li Yunrui has been hiding behind the Emperor of Qing Kingdom, doing many things, and secretly undermined the numerous benefits of the other two major forces. For example, the excuse of Northern Qi and the Assassin in Dongyi City murdering the illegitimate son of Shi Lang Fan, he started another war and seized a large area of ​​territory of Northern Qi. For example, he sold Yan Bingyun to Northern Qi for the backhand to return to the north, but it disturbed the Northern Qi court, and the conflict between the emperor and the empress broke out again.

But what is amazing is that there has always been a good relationship between the eldest princess, the Empress Dowager of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and the Sigujian of Dongyi City, and there is even a lot of cooperation in the inner treasury.

I don’t know what the people from foreign countries think.

But no matter how you think about it, the princess's sudden imprisonment brought a severe shock to many parts of the world, making many people think about things that are not available, such as Fan Xian began to shift his strategic focus to that emperor.

And in the Northern Qi and Dongyi City, those who are above and above will naturally make their own judgments.

The great master in Dongyi City sent his most proud disciple to Fan Xian, but he didn't know that the disciple was sent by Fan Xian as a bodyguard again. Of course, he didn't care about this now, he was just concerned about the eldest princess being imprisoned.

Spring is strong and spring is strong. Dongyi City, located by the sea, is full of salty and wet smell. The warm wind on the sea blows gently all year round, so the people in the city do not feel much grateful for this spring.

In the middle of Dongyi City is the mansion of the city lord, which covers a very wide area. The city lord is responsible for leading the specific business in the city. This big city with prosperous business, the so-called government affairs are actually business and public security issues rarely occur, because no thieves dare to take action in the place with the most ninth-rank masters in the world.

In addition to Wang Qinian, who was still young back then.

Everyone knows that the place that truly guides Dongyi City and determines the survival of Dongyi City is not in the city lord's mansion, but in the continuous thatched cottage outside the city.

The thatched cottage is surrounded by a concave shape, and what is strange is that the opening does not face the main road, but is leaning against the mountain behind. If someone wants to enter this thatched cottage, he needs to go around the back of the mountain and go down the mountain road.

According to legend, this is the easiest way to compare visitors with the Sigu Jian exam.

In the middle of the concave-shaped thatched cottage, there is a big pit, filled with sword branches left by the masters who once came to challenge the Sigu Sword and asked the Sigu Sword. They stabbed towards the sky like a forest.

The new grandmaster is not so easy to be.

Fortunately, this trend of challenge finally ended after the big pit was gradually filled. No one would be so stupid that he would challenge Sigujian again. As for those who were so stupid... they had already died in the thatched cottage.

This is the holy place where martial artists in the world worship and admire the holy place that they never forget their longing for... Jianlu.

Some people also call it the sword tomb.

A very beautiful and profound name.

However, Sigu Jian can only use one name to describe the holy land next to his residence - Jiankeng.

"This is a pit." A sarcastic voice came from the thatched cottage. The owner of the voice seemed very young: "That bastard of Emperor Qing and the crazy woman Li Yunrui, do you really think I am an idiot?"
