(Looking at the book review section yesterday, especially one of the posts, immediately made me feel like I was in a war or leisure situation, and I was so frightened. I admit that a certain comrade is right, I am really inexperienced, Fan Isn't my brother inexperienced... Sigh.
PS: It’s still a monthly ticket, don’t be too annoying, I’m going to pull it for seven days. Today I have something to do during the day and I don’t have much time to write, but I saw so many votes online, it’s really... exciting and scary. )

…
The general was not wearing armor, nor was he carrying the longbow behind him, but even so, Fan Xian still lowered his head slightly and narrowed his eyes, which was enough to resist the strong force coming from the opponent. Thick arrows.
Arrows are used to kill, but the arrow's intention is not to kill. It's just an aura that seems to tear up a person's coat, revealing the cowardly and pale skin inside.
With Fan Xian's strong mind control and strength, he was still overwhelmed by this aura, which naturally shows that this general's cultivation level is indeed a level higher than his.
…
…
Yan Xiaoyi, the governor of Peking University, is an absolute strongman on the ninth rank, the person who is most likely to challenge the grand master in the world.
"Your supervisor is good."
Fan Xian smiled and saluted Yan Xiaoyi gently.
Yan Xiaoyi was standing under the long corridor, his deep eyes were like spring water washing Fan Xian's face, he didn't react when he heard Fan Xian's words, and said in a low voice, "I will be here soon. If you want to return to the north, when you think of the lanterns hanging high in the sun and the martial arts in the palace, you will not be able to compete with Lord Tisi, and you will be very disappointed."
The so-called Wu Yi is just a boxing match organized by the imperial court. This is Fan Xian's understanding, and he also knows that in such a country that prides itself on military exploits and force, if Yan Xiaoyi really goes crazy, he will challenge himself face to face in the palace regardless of the emperor's face...
Will Yan Xiaoyi go crazy? Of course, Fan Xian knew that people in the lineage of the eldest princess were a little crazy, especially after the other party's Dumai's son Yan Shendu was stabbed to death by the lovely Shisanlang he ordered.
Can he defeat Yan Xiaoyi? Fan Xian asked himself, and it was impossible to spray poisonous mist on the hall, let alone use crossbow arrows. In a frontal martial arts confrontation, he was still some distance away from the peak powerhouse on the ninth rank. Although it was impossible for Yan Xiaoyi to use his famous longbow in the hall, he would not be so stupid as to think that Yan Xiaoyi's extraordinary skills were all on that bow.
Therefore, if the Wu proposal becomes a reality, even if Lao Hong can save his life in the end, it is certain that he will be seriously injured.
At today's military meeting, His Majesty the Emperor asked Yan Xiaoyi to return to the north ahead of schedule. This was in response to Fan Xian's request. After all, he didn't even want to be injured. But looking at the current situation, Yan Xiaoyi couldn't hide his disappointment and anger at all.
Fan Xian couldn't help laughing, and smiled gently at this powerful figure in the army, "Governor, I thought you misunderstood something."
After a moment of silence, Yan Xiaoyi said: "I just want to learn about Fan Tisi's tricks."
Fan Xian was also silent for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "In this peaceful and prosperous world, it's better to fight less."
Under the long corridor, only Fan Xian and Yan Xiaoyi stood facing each other, and a sense of danger emerged spontaneously, but Fan Xian knew that Yan Xiaoyi would never make a move in the palace, so it was not a big deal. Worried, he looked at each other calmly with those clear eyes.
"Cough cough."
There were a few coughing sounds, not the old eunuch Hong, but a short but imposing figure who suddenly appeared beside the two of them.
Ye Chong.
Fan Xian smiled slightly, thinking that this person came at the right time, and he didn't want to have any more eye contact with Yan Xiaoyi.
"Captain Yan, Fan Tisi, this is a forbidden place, please don't make any noise."
When Ye Zhong was in charge of the defense of the capital, Fan Xian was not yet born, and Yan Xiaoyi was still hunting in the mountains. Given his seniority and status, his words naturally carried a lot more weight.
Yan Xiaoyi was slightly taken aback, and turned her head to salute.
Fan Xian asked with a smile, "Uncle Ye, long time no see, how is Dingzhou?"
With Ye Zhong interrupting, Yan Xiaoyi shut up. Ye Zhong also saw the problem between Yan Xiaoyi and Fan Xian. He frowned, thinking that the death of Yan Xiaoyi's only son had always been an unsolved case. Why did Yan Xiaoyi believe that Fan Xian did it
"I still have business to do, so I'm leaving." Fan Xian took this opportunity to get away quickly.
Ye nodded.
Yan Xiaoyi said slowly, "Mistress Fan, you must take care of yourself."
Fan Xian's heart trembled slightly, knowing what the other party meant, a surge of pride surged up in his heart, he cupped his hands to the sky, laughed and said, "With God's blessing, I don't need Governor Yan to worry about it."
Yan Xiaoyi's smile suddenly became a bit icy cold, he stared into Fan Xian's eyes, and said word by word: "Today, you can't cover my eyes, Fan Xian, you will die by my hands .”
At this time, everyone was in the palace, and Ye Zhong was still by his side, yet Yan Xiaoyi was so arrogant that he uttered such threatening words. Ye Zhong couldn't help frowning, but didn't say anything.
Looking at this scene, Fan Xian couldn't help but shook his head. Ye Zhong was the second prince's father-in-law, and now he was from there, but Yan Xiaoyi didn't care about anything in front of him. Killing the emperor's illegitimate son was really arrogant and crazy to the extreme.
He flicked his sleeves lightly, raised his face and said confidently: "Yan Xiaoyi, I bet you will die by my hands first, and you will die in an extremely useless manner."
After saying this, he bowed his hands to Ye Zhong, and without looking at Yan Xiaoyi again, he calmly walked towards the palace gate.
Yan Xiaoyi narrowed her eyes and looked at his receding figure with extreme indifference.
Ye Zhong also looked at Fan Xian's back, thinking to himself, where did this young man get his confidence? The arrangement has been arranged for several years, so don't expect some unexpected changes because of Fan Xian. He thought so in his heart, but when he looked back at Yan Xiaoyi, he sighed, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "My condolences go with the flow, but in the palace, be careful that the walls have ears. He... is not an ordinary person after all, he is His Majesty's son." .”
Yan Xiaoyi's expression remained unchanged, and he said indifferently, "I also have a son."
…
…
When he reached the palace gate, Fan Xian's expression had already returned to calm. Yan Xiaoyi and himself had long been in a life-and-death situation. They just needed a suitable location and opportunity to practice. The game he arranged last time was broken by Eunuch Hong. Will he fall into Yan Xiaoyi's situation once
And that Wang Shisanlang, after killing Yan Shendu, suddenly disappeared without a trace, and he didn't know where he went.
While Fan Xian was thinking about it, he left Miyagi, and was not surprised to see the eldest prince beside him, the only military general in the royal family.
"What did you say to Yan Xiaoyi?" The First Prince asked in a low voice beside him.
"His son is dead and biting people." Fan Xian replied with a smile, "He said he wanted to kill me."
The eldest prince frowned, and said slightly angrily: "What an arrogant tone, he doesn't even look at where this is?"
After thinking for a while, Fan Xian said seriously to the First Prince: "Yan Xiaoyi has decided to turn his back on his will. I don't think His Majesty will not be able to see it, but you have to be careful."
The eldest prince was slightly taken aback, thinking to himself where did this reverse word... come from
Fan Xian got into the carriage and headed for the mansion, but he was still thinking about this question along the way. His Majesty the Emperor will not fail to see Yan Xiaoyi's raging fighting and killing intent, so why did he let the tiger go back to the mountain? Dry prisoners in Beijing
Very interesting question.
He laughed at himself in his heart, he didn't know how long later, when Yan Xiaoyi came to kill him, or killed Yan Xiaoyi himself, the world must have become very interesting, and the mahjong table played by His Majesty the Emperor must also be On the eve of playing cards.
———————————
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, there is no snow or wind in the capital of the Qing Dynasty. After nightfall, the whole city is hung with colorful lights, and the dry streets are full of people. Men and women are looking for the faces that make their hearts beat by the beautiful lights. Harassment that I hate. The ladies played around with their maids blushing, and the young men who knew the etiquette kept a close distance and watched them play quietly.
This night, spring came ahead of time, so many shoes fell off on the street, and so many tender skins were touched by those hands. Follow-up and name detection, eye movements and temptations are going on happily at night like this. People controlled by hormones are collectively caught in blind dates without matchmakers.
As far as the court of the Qing Dynasty is concerned, the joy of the people can't affect its chilling. Although the turrets of the palace are also hung with big palace lanterns, some riddles and other gadgets are also prepared in the palace for the empress dowager and the nobles For fun, even the square black and gray building of the Overwatch Council hung red lanterns under Fan Xian's instruction.
But still chill.
Because the mobilization of the military began as early as the fifteenth day, the governor of the Northern Qi Dynasty brought his own soldiers back to the north, and went to Cangzhou and Yanjing to resist the sharp eyes of the famous general of the Northern Qi Dynasty. Ye Zhong also returned to Dingzhou, and the imperial court once again increased troops westward, drawing elite troops from the remaining five central armies to replenish them in the Dingzhou area, forming an invincible army of 100,000 men.
When the first spring arrives, these one hundred thousand soldiers will press another two hundred miles to the west, which is called suppressing. Looking for an opportunity to make a surprise attack, he tore off a large piece of flesh and blood from the barbarians.
Soldiers are a big deal. Although it is only a mobilization and the battle has not yet started, the six departments have already been busy dealing with logistics matters. Fortunately, the Qing Kingdom has made a fortune with soldiers, and all affairs have already become a schedule. The cooperation between the various departments appears to be orderly and efficient. high.
When it came to the outside world, the Qing Kingdom was always united like this. At this moment, no one still remembered the strife among the princes, and Fan Xian was terrible.
Fan Xian has also been busy for several days, because the Overwatch Council is responsible for providing intelligence to the military, and is also responsible for reviewing the equipment and weapons sent by various departments. Various matters have piled up all at once.
Fortunately, Yan Bingyun was there to help, so it was possible for Fan Xian to enter the palace on the night of the 15th day. After taking a look at the legendary Wu Yi, the duel in the palace was really exciting. There are indeed many masters in the Qing Kingdom... but Yan Xiao was missing. The life-and-death struggle between Yi and Fan Xian seems to be uninteresting to all the ministers.
And no one was stupid enough to take the initiative to invite Fan Xian to fight, because they were not Yan Xiaoyi, and they didn't want to court death.
…
…
On the twenty-second day of the first lunar month, the nerves in the Chaozhong Palace that were tense due to the border changes have gradually gotten used to it, and gradually relaxed. You have to live your life as you want, you have to eat when you should eat, and you have to dress when you have to wear clothes. When it comes to dressing, the nobles in the palace must not have a few new clothes during the New Year's Eve.
So the Gongzhong Embroidery Bureau sent a team to a certain shop to take over the embroidered cloth brought from far away from the West. Because the Empress of the Eastern Palace didn't like the embroidery colors that were brought in as a tribute from Jiangnan last year, she requested an order in advance to order another batch.
This kind of extra errand that does not go through the central line of the inner treasury is often a good opportunity for the eunuch in charge to make a lot of money. The kickback and filial piety alone may be worth 30% of the price of the embroidered cloth. It is easy to receive thousands of taels of silver bills into the sleeve.
In previous years, because the second prince was favored, this errand was handled by Eunuch Dai in Concubine Shu's palace. But this year the second prince's family is obviously not as good as in previous years, and Eunuch Dai has been deprived of most of his power because of his involvement in the two cases of corruption and the assassination of the Xuankong Temple, so the eunuchs in the palace began to envy and began to act Get up and want to take over the old Dai's position.
But just inquiring about the news, the eunuchs, including Eunuch Yao and Eunuch Hou, stopped their activities because they heard that this year, the chief eunuch Hong Zhu of the East Palace will be in charge.
Hong Zhu's surname is Hong, and he is trusted by the queen, and His Majesty seems to like this flexible little eunuch very much, so his status in the palace is getting higher and higher day by day. There was a stroke of luck on the way to gradually becoming radiant, so I chose to back down.
This morning, Ouchi guards stood outside a large shop to guard, but they kept yawning, because they believed that no one would come to cause any trouble, and there were no princes and nobles in the shop, only one eunuch... Every time I think that these strong warriors like myself can't go west with the Dingzhou army, but want to protect a single eunuch, these guards are not in a good mood, and their vigilance is naturally relaxed a lot.
…
…
In a quiet room on the second floor, Hong Zhu was carefully looking at the thread count and color halo of the embroidered cloth. Although it was a good opportunity to earn kickbacks, he had to put his heart into doing things for the empress. As for the shopkeeper of this Dongyi shop, he had already driven him out.
Hong Zhu's fingertips trembled a little, and he was obviously a little uneasy, because he didn't know when and how Master Fan would meet him without the eyes and ears of the guards.
Just when he was suffering in every possible way, the light in the room suddenly folded, and some very subtle changes occurred in the light and shadow.
"Who?" Hong Zhu turned around vigilantly, but he didn't shout out the question.
Fan Xian, who was dressed in ordinary people's clothes, rubbed the corners of his brows that were sticky after the disguise, gestured to Hong Zhu, and then took out a jade ring from his arms and handed it over.
This piece of jade was exactly the one he got from Luo Chuan's helper after thinking of many ways a few days ago.
Hong Zhu took the jade jue with some perplexity, took a look, and felt that the jade jue looked very strange, but it seemed to be used in the palace, and the style and jade pattern always gave him a familiar feeling.
"This is something from the East Palace." Fan Xian said softly.
Hong Zhu pursed his lips and said, "What should I do?"
Fan Xian mentioned a date, frowned and said, "Every time the crown prince goes to Guangxin Palace, it should be on this date. You have a lot of news in the palace, let's see if it is accurate."
Hong Zhu recalled it for a while, calculated it again, and then nodded.
Fan Xian felt relieved, this date was the conclusion that Wang Qinian had come to by squatting at the clan mansion every day these days. The clan mansion was responsible for delivering medicine to the palace, and the date was basically stable.
Fan Xian stared into Hong Zhu's eyes and said, "After the embroidered cloth enters the palace, according to the usual practice, the East Palace will distribute it to various palaces. You should know when the empress will let the maids send the embroidered cloth to Guangxin Palace."
"Usually the afternoon of the next day." Hong Zhu was a little nervous, not knowing what this matter had to do with the embroidered cloth.
"Very well, you are in charge of purchasing, so delay the time for this batch of embroidered cloth to enter the palace." Fan Xian said: "Calculate the time well, and ensure that when the embroidered cloth from the East Palace enters the Guangxin Palace, the crown prince will also be there. In Guangxin Palace."
Hong Zhu picked the itchy little pimple on his face, and asked doubtfully, "What's the use of this?"
Fan Xian didn't answer, Hong Zhu looked at the jade in his hand thoughtfully, and suddenly said in surprise: "This... seems to be used by the empress before."
"That's right." Fan Xian ordered earnestly, "It's those little eunuchs under your command who secretly sold the palace."
"These little bastards are so bold!" Hong Zhu completely forgot about the situation at this time, subconsciously returned to the role of the chief eunuch of the East Palace, and said viciously, he is a big eunuch, and some are places to make money, so naturally he doesn't need to use these things The means of stealing chickens and dogs.
Then he woke up suddenly, knowing that Lord Fan would never ask him to rectify the order of the East Palace, he looked at Fan Xian's half-smile face, and asked in a trembling voice: "This jade...how to deal with it? "
"Put it in the room of the maid who sent the embroidered cloth to Guangxin Palace." After thinking for a moment, Fan Xian sighed and said, "The next thing to do is very simple. You remind the empress of this jade ring, and then what will happen? ?”
Hong Zhu was a smart person, he understood immediately, but he still didn't connect this whole thing with Guangxin Palace.
It's just that Fan Xian didn't have more time to explain. He listened to the footsteps coming from downstairs, and leaned into Hong Zhu's ear to tell him not to worry about anything. He only needed to do these three things properly. Don't do any unnecessary actions, and you must pay attention to your own safety and don't get involved.
There was a knock on the door, and Fan Xian disappeared from the room in a flash.
The owner of the shop entered the door respectfully and asked the father-in-law what else he could order.
Looking at the empty side, Hong Zhu suddenly lost his mind. After a while, thinking of Fan Xian's instructions, he frowned and said in a thin voice, "This cloth... seems to be different from what my mother asked for. "
The owner was stunned for a moment, complaining bitterly in his heart, and said: "My father-in-law said this... We are a small businessman, how dare we deceive the nobles in the palace."
While speaking, a few bank notes were stuffed into Hong Zhu's sleeves.
Hong Zhu glanced at it, somewhat satisfied with the number, but he still couldn't let go, frowned and said, "Is there something wrong with the yellow dan in this pattern? It looks a bit off... Especially the thread used in these pieces of satin, why is it so wrong?" It doesn't feel solid enough."
"Where can it be?" The host scolded his mother in his heart, and said with a bitter face: "This is authentic western cloth, three-layer blended with thirty-six stitches, there is no better one."
Hong Zhu said with a chuckle, "Really? But don't worry, you can go back and check carefully, and I'll come back to pick it up later."
The owner was anxious, and said: "Eunuch, this is what the empress and empress of the palace are eager to ask for. It's too late, not only the little ones, but even you..."
Hong Zhu was not happy when he heard this, he stared and said darkly: "You heard me clearly, when the cloth palace wants it, just wait and see when I am happy... What is the status of the empress? Remember the little things!"
After saying this, Hong Zhu went downstairs with a flick of his sleeves, his face was very unkind.
The owner of the shop followed behind, only saying that he had offended the eunuch, complaining repeatedly in his heart, wondering how much money he would have to put on the eunuch if this dragged on for a few days. How did he know that Hong Zhu's unkind expression was because... he was scared and excited.
Hong Zhu knew what he and Mr. Fan were doing, and he knew even more that a mere eunuch like himself might change the true nature of Qing Kingdom's history. His heart is not an eunuch, but a scholar. What a scholar wants to do most is to rule the country and bring peace to the world. Today, Hong Zhu finally feels that being an eunuch can actually change the world.
