"kill!"
There were shouts of killing from all directions in the alley, and countless people rushed towards Fan Xian who was standing in the alley. The crowd rushed past, but it was like a big river meeting an unstoppable rock, the water splashed in all directions, and the sound of sharp blades piercing the people's eardrums pierced into people's eardrums, and then the four people in the front rushed like Four logs fell down.
They fell down clutching their throats, and the blood in their hands kept bubbling out.
In Fan Xian's hand, there was already a slender black dagger, and there were a few drops of darkened blood on the dull edge of the dagger.
The death of Liao Liao's few people is impossible to shake off the impact of everyone. The onslaught of the officers and soldiers didn't even stop for a moment, and they overwhelmed Fan Xian again.
The black light flashed again, and this time Fan Xian viciously chose to attack downwards, no longer trying to kill them with a single blow, no longer trying to cut the throats of those officers and soldiers, but rather swiftly and extremely swiftly. Several knife cuts were made on the thighs and lower abdomen of people around Li.
Several bloody cuts appeared on several people at the same time, and bright red blood sprayed out from the opened flesh, and the blood immediately turned black after a while, and a faint stench came out.
Several extremely shrill screams resounded in the alley. The injured people could not die for a while, but they were treated with incomparable pain by the poison attached to Fan Xian's black dagger. The screams one after another finally sobered up the officers and soldiers who were besieging Fan Xian, and reminded these people with long spears and sharp blades of how fierce and vicious Lord Fan was in the legend.
The crowd paused at this moment.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Fan Xian slashed towards the crowd behind the alley like a wandering soul. Like shadows and wind, he walked past people's bodies, and occasionally stretched out his devilish palms to touch the people's earlobes. , Fingers, armpits, all weak points lightly brushed.
Every time it brushes past, there will be screaming and wounded people lying on the ground.
At this moment, Fan Xian chose a small method, which is the most energy-saving and energy-saving fighting method. The crowd was surging, and doing it like this was the most suitable method. Every time he shot, he no longer intended to make the officers and soldiers around him fall down, but to make them cry out in pain, jump up, and become jumping trees one after another. In the twilight, the cunning beast who concealed him fled towards the back of the encirclement.
A general who presided over the siege not far away looked at the commotion there, and a look of chill and fear flashed in his eyes.
He never imagined that someone in this world could turn himself into a wandering spirit, walking through the crowd chasing and killing him under the watchful eyes of everyone, leaving behind slightly bloody water and taking away fresh life. It looks so relaxed and casual - like wearing thousands of flowers, but not a single leaf touches the body.
Fan Xian didn't even have a single wound on his body, but he had already picked to death and injured more than 20 people. In the encirclement of chaos, he forcibly broke into a distance of ten feet!
"Stop him!" The general looked at the commotion that was getting closer and closer to him, his eyes narrowed, and he roared in a hoarse voice: "Put the traitor!"
There was a rattling sound of the rewinding of the crossbow arrows. In such a noisy environment, it was actually very weak, but it was extremely terrifying.
Fan Xian, who was holding the dagger with three fingers in the crowd and making intimate contact with the officers and soldiers' muscles, paused with his right hand the moment the crossbow fired outside the encirclement.
His ears accurately captured a familiar voice, so his heart tightened for a moment, causing his right hand to pause for a moment, and inserted it into the chest of a yamen servant who was rushing over in fear, but forgot to pull it out.
It is strictly forbidden to use crossbows in Kyoto—except for the Overwatch Council that was allowed by special decree back then. So upon hearing this voice, Fan Xian knew that the eldest princess had mobilized the forces of the Qin family or the Ye family to infiltrate into the capital. He didn't have time to think about the issue of the Thirteenth City Gate Division, but he subconsciously felt the cold. The extremely dangerous sniping in the valley left a deep impression on him.
This period of thinking was only for a moment, and in the next moment, he stepped on it, and stepped heavily on the hard stone floor, with a bang!
With just one kick, the square and hard stone slab was split from it, and the corners of the slab were tilted up, and it smashed towards the officers and soldiers who rushed over!
When he walks and advances in the encirclement, he seems to be relaxed and casual, but in fact he is carrying extremely fast speed and strong precise control, so he needs such a domineering kick to stop himself Body at high speed.
The stone slab cracked, and his body became extremely still in an instant from extremely fast speed.
The transition between these two extreme states even made the air around him tear apart for no reason.
The besieging officers and soldiers who had been following him up and down like water waves failed to follow for an instant, and fell forward in a state of embarrassment, leaving a three-foot gap in front of Fan Xian.
There was a sound of breaking the wind, no, it fell into the ground, like crops growing under Fan Xian's feet, dozens of eerie and terrifying crossbow arrows sprouted, narrowly missing his body.
But his right hand was still piercing, and the corpse of the yamen slave hanging on the dagger moved forward violently due to the sudden deceleration. It fell to the ground, shaking out countless blood!
And the officers and soldiers behind Fan Xian couldn't hold back their feet, and directly bumped into him who suddenly stopped!
He elbows back.
With two muffled sounds, the two figures flew up and shattered in the twilight sky... drawing countless shocking curves.
Before the next round of crossbow arrows came, Fan Xian took a long look at the general at the end of the alley, pointing his toes on the ground. To everyone's surprise, he followed the two "broken shadows" that had been blown away by him, towards the general. It flew over the alley in the opposite direction.
The general received Fan Xian's cold gaze from a distance, couldn't help but shuddered, gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "Wolf camp, don't let him run away."
In mid-air, the shattered flesh and bones fell to the ground with a crackling sound.
Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of swishing through the air, and more than a dozen military experts climbed up to the corner of the eaves, and chased after Fan Xian who was running on the eaves not far away. Leading most of his subordinates, they pursued unremittingly along the passage on the ground.
———————————
"I want him dead."
In the Guangxin Palace in the imperial palace, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess returned behind the layers of gauze curtains, and said a word with a blank expression. The him in the words naturally refers to Fan Xian who is fighting against her in the capital now. Fan Xian will not die for a day, and the expression on the face of the princess will be extremely difficult to show a smile.
"There seems to be a problem with Chen Yuan." The eunuch next to the princess said in a low voice: "The most important thing is that there seems to be a problem with the information transmission on Dongshan Road during this period. It has been three days, and finally The news was already three days ago."
A strange blush suddenly appeared on Li Yunrui's indifferent and beautiful face. This blush was like the colorful clouds in the sky, which disappeared immediately after being blown by the night wind, turning into the last touch of paleness before nightfall.
The corners of her lips were slightly raised, and she said softly, "I only want Fan Xian to die, and you don't need to pay attention to the Overwatch Council."
"Yes, Your Highness." The eunuch bowed respectfully, then raised his head, he was unexpectedly one of Emperor Qing's trusted eunuchs, Eunuch Hou alongside Eunuch Yao!
The eldest princess looked at Eunuch Hou's face with a smile, and said: "You set the fire in the East Palace very well, and this palace will depend on how well you set the last fire in the capital."
During the Battle of Dadongshan, the old eunuch Hong didn’t know whether he was dead or alive. Eunuch Yao must have passed away with Emperor Qing. In today’s palace, the eunuch with the highest seniority, the greatest power, and the most trusted eunuch by the Empress Dowager is this Eunuch Hou. I don't know how much capital was invested in entrancing this Eunuch Hou, but who would have thought that all the capital was spent in vain. It turns out that this person has belonged to the eldest princess from the beginning.
Emperor Qing and Fan Xian had been wondering who set the fire in the East Palace, but they never thought of Eunuch Hou.
Eunuch Hou bowed and said respectfully: "This slave will ask the queen mother to issue an order, but the slave does not have much power to speak by himself. At most, the queen mother can issue an order to the imperial army and join in the search..." He raised his head and looked at the eldest princess cautiously: "It's just Your Highness is also clear that we have used all the power we can move, and the imperial army also appeared in Yangonion Lane before, but they didn't move at all, the First Prince obviously has other ideas."
The eldest princess said calmly: "We can't stop the imperial army."
Eunuch Hou tentatively said: "Although something happened in the Tai Chi Hall today, and more than forty ministers have been arrested and imprisoned, the queen mother's intention has not changed. Now that the crown prince has been confirmed to be the great treasure... You see, it is Can't you change the position of the First Prince?"
"You let me and the queen mother talk about it?" The eldest princess said with a slight mockery: "Don't make such a plan. Now that the capital's garrison is in my hands, the thirteen city gate divisions are still swinging left and right. The troops of the Qin family and the Ye family have left the capital. But it's a few days' itinerary... If even the commander of the imperial army has changed, how can my mother feel relieved?"
"As long as Ning Cai is honest in Hanguang Palace, the Imperial Army will belong to the prince." The eldest princess said indifferently: "The queen mother always has to seek some balance, otherwise, isn't she worried that my palace will destroy this imperial city in the future?"
Eunuch Hou shuddered in his heart and dared not speak again.
"Fan Xian is sick." The eldest princess continued to smile and said, "I'm holding on to his illness, so it's impossible for him to stay away from the capital, and he can only stay in the capital. The ministers can't stand it anymore, the officials of the Taichang Temple and the Ministry of Rites can't stand it anymore, the crown prince has justifiably ascended to the throne, how can he, a assassin and villain, want to endure it."
Eunuch Hou looked at the eldest princess in awe, and said Xiaoyi: "It's a pity that when the queen mother gave the order, that concubine who was carrying Lord Xiao Fan's blood escaped for some reason."
"It's not running away." The eldest princess narrowed her eyes slightly, her long eyelashes fluttering slightly, "Someone is protecting him... But I am very curious, whether the person who lost his master can still protect himself now. "
"His Royal Highness has a clever plan."
"There's nothing to worry about. You have to prepare. Maybe...in two days, I will leave the palace." The eldest princess said with a smile, but she didn't know why she chose to leave the palace.
Eunuch Hou smiled flatteringly and said, "The slave will return to Hanguang Palace at this time."
"Go." The eldest princess said, "Make mother's heart stronger."
"yes."
Eunuch Hou obeyed his order and went through the dead and silent palace. Hearing the faint mournful voices in his ears, he returned to the Hanguang Palace. He said a few words in front of the Empress Dowager. With a dejected expression and an unbearable spirit, the father-in-law sighed in his heart, thinking that the empress dowager was also a very powerful person back then, but now he can only focus on maintaining the peace of the court, but he can't show much courage. It was a very wise choice to follow the eldest princess many years ago.
In Guangxin Palace.
After Eunuch Hou left, the eldest princess lowered her eyes slightly, and whispered something to her cronies, as if she was going to send a message somewhere outside the palace. Some of the words could be faintly heard, which should be related to the situation outside the capital .
Then she sat silently and alone for a while, clapping her palms, a court lady respectfully surrounded or guarded a man and a woman, came in from the back of Guangxin Palace, and sat beside her.
The eldest princess smiled slightly, and said softly to the daughter next to her who did not resemble her, "Chen'er, mother has already found Fan Xian."
Lin Wan'er lowered her head slightly, and bit her lower lip lightly, she was not extremely shocked by these words, and she didn't even lift her head.
The eldest princess frowned slightly, as if she felt a trace of unreasonable anger at her daughter's emotional reaction, and said in a low voice: "Fan Xian is a mouse, but if he really cares about you, he will naturally come to the palace .”
Lin Wan'er raised her head with a bang, her normally gentle eyes were full of coldness and indifference, she looked at her mother, her eyes seemed to have two knives piercing her heart, every word Said: "You asked me out of the Hanguang Palace... I thought you still had a mother-daughter relationship, but it turns out... you used your own daughter as a bait."
Lin Wan'er said calmly, "But it's true. Uncle has said many times that you are a lunatic, and you can't treat things like ordinary people... Don't worry, I won't blame you."
She smiled softly, looking very calm: "For a lunatic like you, resentment is a superfluous emotion."
"Really?" Li Yunrui slowly closed his eyes, "You were born by me, so of course you have no right to blame me... Sisi, that bitch, isn't she living well outside now? Why does your Fan family only protect her and not Didn't protect you? If you want to blame, you also blame your husband-in-law and your parents-in-law."
Lin Wan'er's legs trembled slightly, and she said, "You made a mistake, maybe it's just that everyone didn't expect that you would attack your own daughter."
There was a sound of metal clashing under her legs, as if she was being shackled with shackles!
…
…
Li Yunrui said calmly: "If Fan Xian dies, everything will be easy to handle."
"Really? It's a pity that you will never be able to kill him. Since he can come back from Dadong Mountain alive, he will definitely live a good life." Lin Wan'er's face showed a gleam of confidence.
The eldest princess frowned: "Some people's lives are beyond their control. I have never worried about my good son-in-law, even though he has lived so brightly in the world for the past two years, I am still not worried." .”
She glanced at her daughter, then at Dabao who was sitting next to her daughter, shrinking his shoulders in fear, his mouth trembling subconsciously, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.
"I know my son-in-law too well." Li Yunrui said indifferently: "As long as you and Dabao are here, what else can he do but die?"
"Oh, I didn't expect my mother to think that An Zhi... would be so affectionate." Lin Wan'er looked into her mother's eyes calmly, "I am his wife, and I don't expect him to be so stupid as to give up his life because of your means. I don't know where your faith comes from."
"You don't understand, and everyone doesn't understand." The eldest princess said calmly: "Fan Xian may be a hypocrite to the bone, but for some people around him, he is extremely hot."
She paused, and said with a smile: "I will not underestimate him, I will be ready for him to turn over. After a few days, he may have a chance to turn this palace over... So I will take you and Dabao out Palace, let him get into this bucket by himself."
Lin Wan'er looked at her quietly: "It seems that mother has already mastered the divisions of the thirteen cities, and the troops of the Qin and Ye families can enter Beijing at any time."
The eldest princess was startled for a moment, then laughed immediately: "My daughter, she really looks like me, she sees things very accurately."
Lin Wan'er lowered her head slowly, she knew well that Fan Xian would find a way to penetrate deep into the palace's belly, borrow the eldest prince's forbidden army and his inside line in the palace, and turn the world upside down, but she didn't expect that her mother didn't care about every gain or loss of the palace, but On the contrary, there is the idea of letting all the hostile forces fall into the deep palace, and then counterattack with heavy troops.
"What exactly do you want?" Lin Wan'er suddenly raised her head, and said with a trace of mockery: "It doesn't make any difference to you whether the prince elder brother or the second elder brother is the emperor, but what exactly do you want? "
"What do I want?" The eldest princess suddenly narrowed her eyes, stared at a certain wall in Guangxin Palace, and said after a long silence: "I want everyone in the world to know that there are some women in this world who don't have a man." It’s possible to do some extraordinary things in the same circumstances.”
She looked back at her daughter, and said quietly, "It's nothing without a man. After Fan Xian's death, you're still a high-ranking princess, so there's no need to start grieving ahead of time."
"I don't know what will happen to me after my man dies, whether there will be uncontrollable grief."
Lin Wan'er suddenly laughed, holding the limp left hand of her eldest brother beside her, she lowered her head without even looking at her mother, "But I know, mother...you will really go crazy after you lose your man, so these teachings are still reserved. Use it yourself."
"Presumptuous!" The eldest princess's beautiful face turned cold, "What dastardly words!"
"Isn't it?" Lin Wan'er said calmly and tauntingly: "Uncle was trying to strangle you to death on that wall? Now that uncle was killed by you, don't you feel happy and aggrieved in your heart, wishing to give your face to me?" Was it scratched?"
"I'm not a person who doesn't know anything." Lin Wan'er laughed and said, "It's just that I hate these things. So, mother... you are essentially a poor person who can't live without a man, why put on airs?"
…
…
After a while of silence, the Eldest Princess suddenly said indifferently: "You are my daughter after all, and you haven't brought any benefits. Just by angering me, will I kill you?"
"However, I must admit that your words are very lethal." She sighed suddenly, gently stroked her daughter's slightly thin cheeks, and said, "I haven't been with you long enough, so I didn't notice it. My good daughter turned out to be such a powerful character."
Lin Wan'er looked into her eyes peacefully, and said after a while: "I am a person without strength, so I can only use words. Maybe you will succeed, but you can't make me admire you in the slightest."
She was calm, proud and confident, her lips tightly shut.
Suddenly, Dabao muttered softly beside her: "Sister, you hurt my hand."
The eldest princess laughed, and then said softly: "Good daughter, don't be so angry, I will let Fan Xian die in front of you, and then you will be even angrier."
She patted Lin Wan'er's cold cheek lightly.
———————————
Fan Xian found himself caught in the sea of people's war. Even if 80% of the people in Kyoto thought he had been wronged, there were still 20% of the people who really regarded himself as a heinous assassin and traitor colluding with foreign countries. A deranged traitor.
There are too many people in Kyoto, even if it is only 20%, it is enough to form a frightening force.
Seeing those beating gongs and drums, calling for the officials and soldiers to come and arrest his own people, Fan Xian, who was running through the streets and alleys, couldn't help but want to scold his mother after a wry smile, wishing to use the trumpet to ask those who had killed him in the past. The people of the Qing Dynasty who worshiped as poets.
If I'm really a bastard, what will I do back in Kyoto
Moreover, he never imagined that although his Overwatch Council was closely watched by the inner court, those secret agents would always deliberately make troubles to help him, but even so, he still hadn't gotten rid of the Eldest Princess Aspects of pursuit.
Those dozens of military masters are really a headache. What's more troublesome are those government servants and officials from the Ministry of Criminal Affairs of the Kyoto Prefecture. These people hang out in the capital all year round and have close ties with the common people. After spared no effort to hunt them down, it is impossible for a strong man like Fan Xian to stay alive for more than a quarter of an hour. lurking.
Fan Xian leaned against a courtyard wall, squinting at the darkening night, saw the bright moon in the sky, couldn't help but frowned, and began to curse God and the exceptionally good environmental protection work in the Qing Dynasty.
Under the clear light of the bright moon, facing the largest number of people and the most rigorous search in the history of Kyoto to hunt down criminals, Fan Xian is also sure that he can disappear into the sea of houses.
The slightly cool courtyard wall penetrated into his heart and lungs, calming his emotions a little bit, and made him cough twice. Before his injury had healed, he forcibly mobilized his domineering true energy. exhausted.
There were noises of soldiers and horses and shouts from the street not far away. It should be some enthusiastic patriotic people pointing out the direction of Fan Xian's escape to the government.
If it was just fleeing, Fan Xian was confident enough that he could even fight against the Eldest Princess in the capital for half a month without being caught, and he could even slowly kill those important enemies. Assassinated one by one, like a spring dream without a trace.
But... his wife and relatives are under house arrest in the palace, and he has some scruples outside the palace. He has to rush to find a place where he can be peaceful, contact his own forces, obtain precious information, and follow the righteous path of escape.
But right now, it is obviously impossible for the eldest princess to find a stable place to live with the persevering pursuit of the eldest princess.
Regarding the exposure of whereabouts, it's not that Fan Xian didn't have any doubts in his heart, but he was in a dangerous hurry all the way and didn't have time to think about it.
The voices of people outside were getting closer, as well as the sound of horses. Fan Xian looked back at the blind spot in the alley, grabbed the wall with his left hand, and with a stroke of luck, picked off a few pieces of rubble and bounced towards the wall at the blind spot. .
There was a soft slap, and there were a few inconspicuous marks on the wall at the blind corner, as if someone had crawled over there.
Fan Xian bent his fingers, and his whole body floated up like a big bird, and turned over towards the back of the courtyard wall.
He has found out that behind this courtyard wall is a nice mansion, and it should be a family of officials and eunuchs. He decided to take a gamble to see if he could find a trusted acquaintance, and even if he couldn't find it, he would try to hide for a while.
Climb over the courtyard wall, walk through rockery and flowing water, go up to the second floor, and enter a room full of books. The sound of soldiers and horses outside the courtyard became louder and louder. Fan Xian didn't have time to think. He turned the bookshelf and found a black dagger on a man's neck.
Naturally, his luck was not that good, and it was impossible to find a trusted official acquaintance in the vast crowd of the capital. But his luck wasn't that bad. He thought it was a study room, and the person inside was naturally the owner of the house, but he didn't expect that there was a lovely and pitiful girl under the black dagger!
This is not a study, but a boudoir. (, If you want to know what happens next, please log in, there are more chapters, support the author, support the original!)
