Why do you want to have fun in front of the palace again? It is completely speechless to the extreme... Bow your head and confess .
The title of the chapter is Zhou Gong as the teacher, which is taken from a sentence in Zhou Benji in the Historical Records: "Zhou Gong is the teacher, and he conquered Huaiyi in the east." It refers to Fan Xian's entry into Dongyi. It was spring day, Duke Zhou slept well, and so did Fan Xian. Of course, I came from Baidu for this passage.

Fan Xian and Wei Hua, the two biggest spy chiefs in the world, joined hands like two pure-hearted students to converse, speechless in admiration, and immediately joined hands to sit down, chatted happily, and recalled the foreign affairs in the capital. Talking softly about smuggling, laughing at the happy place, feeling really full of thoughts...
Such a sincere performance made the officials accompanying the Song Dynasty and the officials of the Ministry of Rites from the Northern Qi Dynasty and the Southern Qing Dynasty all dumbfounded. They wondered if the relationship between the two was so good? But immediately everyone figured out the reason, and they were amazed and admired. They thought that he was the top spy chief after all, with such a shameless hypocrisy.
Sitting for a while and talking gossip, everyone knew that since these two met in the Song Kingdom, they would naturally represent the huge power behind them, conduct a test, use words to force some swords, and if people like themselves are on the side, But he could only see the two of them hahahaha forever, so he retreated very consciously.
The maidservants also retreated after serving the dishes, and the most luxurious single room in Baoyue Building suddenly fell into silence. Fan Xian didn't go to the table, but sat down on the carved wooden chair beside him, looked at Wei Hua with calm eyes, and said, "You guys arrived yesterday, and you came here today, and you really don't want to give me a break Opportunity."
Wei Hua smiled, picked up the hot towel on the table and wiped his face, walked to Fan Xian and sat down, after thinking for a while, he said softly: "Although everyone in the world can guess that Mr. Fan will come in person , but if you don’t see it with your own eyes, how can you rest assured that I have gathered tens of thousands of people?”
Fan Xian narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with a smile, "What? Are you here to ask me for justice for the people of Daqi?"
Last year, the Overwatch Council launched an offensive in Xiliang, infiltrating Northern Qi into Dingqing and Qingzhou. The spies colluding with the Hu people wiped out and killed countless people. This incident caused the Northern Qi court to be shocked and furious. The superficial peace that Fan Xian tried his best to maintain was finally torn apart.
At this moment, there was no one else in the hall, and Fan Xian and Wei Hua naturally stopped talking about the weather, and their voices became calm and cold. Wei Hua glanced at him, and said in a cold voice: "Master Fan, when you and I cooperated back then, it was regarded as mutual trust, but last year you made such a thing, and you didn't know in advance, did you do too much?" Too much?"
Fan Xian raised his eyebrows, his eyes were full of vigor, and said, "You colluded with barbarians and killed my people in Daqing. Do I have to tell you in advance before I do things? Who do you think you are?"
Wei Hua's heart trembled slightly, and he realized that the current Fan Xian was no longer the gentle and amiable young man who had just fled in Shangjing.
He was silent for a moment, and then said: "Don't mention the old things, but this trip is going to Dongyi City to participate in the opening ceremony, I don't know what Xiao Fan is thinking."
"Aren't you stupid?" Fan Xian sneered slightly, "I'm Duke Tanbo of Daqing, so what I'm planning to do by going to Dongyi is naturally for Daqing's benefit. It's not that you don't know, so why bother to ask."
Wei Hua frowned, feeling a bit chilly in his heart, thinking that although His Majesty is talented and organized the government in an orderly manner, the general trend of the world is here now, and the Qing Kingdom is as strong as yesterday. It is indeed an extremely difficult task for both the city owner and the city owner not to be overwhelmed by Qing's strength. Especially this time Nanqing sent Fan Xian, a colleague from the Southern Dynasty who he hadn't seen the details clearly.
"Someone asked me to ask you a question." Sitting beside Fan Xian, Wei Hua said in a low voice, "Is the agreement in the restaurant still counting?"
As soon as these words came out, Fan Xian's complexion changed slightly, and there was an elusive self-mockery in his eyes, and he said softly, "Where is there any agreement?"
Wei Hua's expression remained unchanged, but his brows frowned a little deeper. Probably even he didn't know what the agreement His Majesty asked him to ask. His voice was a little dry, and he asked, "Young Lord, are you going to break the promise?"
Hearing this, Fan Xian frowned slightly, stood up and said, "First, there was never any agreement. Second, should you be the one to talk to me about this kind of thing?"
Although Wei Hua was the commander of the Jinyi Guards of the Northern Qi Dynasty and had won the trust of the Emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty, his status in the country was far inferior to that of Fan Xian. Especially when it comes to certain important matters, Fan Xian is sure that the other party is not qualified to negotiate with me.
"Dongyi City is a big piece of venison." Fan Xian turned around to look at him, and said, "I won't let the capable get it."
Wei Hua got up and replied calmly: "I, Da Qi, naturally won't give in."
The atmosphere in the hall gradually condensed, the meaning of the sword was slowly released, and the cold suddenly rose, and the steaming precious dishes on the table were frozen so that they dared not breathe out. Fan Xian just laughed, then sat down on the table, holding chopsticks and vegetables in one hand, and casually said, "Si Gu Jian invited you, of course Bei Qi not only came to you, I'm curious, who is your real boss?" .”
Naturally, Wei Hua would not answer this question, but the chill in his heart grew stronger and stronger. Looking at the handsome young official of the Southern Dynasty in front of him, he felt great fear. In today's world, everyone knows that Fan Xian controls the Overwatch Council with one hand and the internal treasury with the other. He is the right-hand man of His Majesty the Qing Emperor. If he wants to weaken the strength of the Qing Kingdom, it is of course a wonderful choice to kill this person. .
However, Wei Hua couldn't make up his mind, nor was he qualified to make this decision. After the recent two incidents, the Northern Qi court realized how powerful Fan Xian was. For such a person, it would be good to be able to kill him, but if he couldn't be killed, Then there will be endless troubles.
And in this world, who can kill Fan Xian? The Eldest Princess back then couldn't do it, and neither could the Qin family's snipers in the valley. Could it be the Jin Yiwei from the Northern Qi Dynasty, or the ninth-rank assassins from the Jianlu in Dongyi City along the way
Wei Hua calmed down, sat down again, tried to stabilize his emotions, and accompanied Fan Xian, who had recovered his calm, eating vegetables and gossiping.
—————————
The Southern Qing and the Northern Qi are the two most powerful forces in the world, and the two embassy groups who went to Dongyi City to observe the ceremony of opening the hut unexpectedly met each other when they first entered the control area of Dongyi City. Many people felt panic and anxiety. Especially the escorting disciples of Jianlu in Dongyi City and the ceremonial officials of the City Lord's Mansion are extremely vigilant, for fear that the two families will fight after being jealous.
There are a total of 500 missionaries on both sides, and they happen to live in two adjacent courtyards. Whenever they go in and out, officials from both sides stand on both sides of the long street. Under the hostile confrontation, it really looks a little scary , A thousand eyes are killing people with their gazes, and no one will have a good time in this kind of environment.
Wei Hua was worried, but he acted calmly. The one who was really calm was Fan Xian. He wasn't worried about any dangers he would encounter during this trip. Unless Sigu Jian had already made a crazy decision at this time, no one in the entire Dongyi City would dare to risk Emperor Qing's wrath and treat Nan Qing The mission started.
The officials and princes of the Song Dynasty did not dare to offend any side, and they expressed their sincerity with the most advanced etiquette and the most luxurious expenses, especially for Fan Xian, the Duke of Nanqing Danbo, who was extremely humble.
Fortunately, the first intimate contact between the missions of the two sides in Dongyi territory lasted only one day. Wei Hua did not get any comforting information from Fan Xian, and his anxiety became more and more serious. To continue to test the conditions that Nanqing will give to Dongyi City, he left Song Kingdom ahead of schedule.
Song officials and the reception staff from Dongyi City watched this scene, and they all breathed a sigh of relief. However, on the afternoon when the Northern Qi mission left, Fan Xian gave an order, and the Nanqing mission also followed.
This follow-up lasted three days, and Fan Xian was just sleepy in the carriage. He didn't seem to be worried about what would happen in Dongyi City, but the officials of the Ministry of Rites of the Qing Dynasty knew that the Northern Qi mission was ahead, so they also set their own team's speed. Press it down, and there is no contact with the other party again.
Chun Mian didn't know who would see the big dream. After sleeping lazily for a few days, Fan Xian finally discovered some problems from the speed of the team. He frowned and asked, "According to the original itinerary, now It should be at Longshan, why did you go to Huaishang?"
Shi Chanli also felt a little strange, and asked the members of the Overwatch Council Qinian team in front of him, and then he understood the reason, and returned to the car and said: "The mission of the Northern Qi Dynasty is too slow, and I don't know if Mr. Wei is not I am willing to go to Dongyi City to face failure, so I deliberately walk slowly."
These words were said with a smile, but Fan Xian didn't laugh. Shi Chan stopped talking, thinking that there is a big problem with the slower speed
Fan Xian scratched his head, frowned and asked, "If... someone from Northern Qi leaves from Shangjing, how many days will it take for the information to reach my carriage?"
"At least eight days."
"That is to say, if someone left Northern Qi to go to Beijing five days ago, but I have no way of knowing?" Fan Xian shook his head and said, "If it is really that woman who came, the news must be well hidden. If she really came to Dong Yicheng, I'm afraid they entered the Sword Hut in just two days."
He frowned and said, "And we're still on the way."
Shi Chanli's heart trembled slightly, and he said softly: "Even if Miss Haitang goes to Dongyi City in advance, it won't affect anything."
Fan Xian smiled and didn't say anything, but he was thinking about that kid Wei Hua, it's really interesting to use such a trick that can't be put on the table to buy time for the Northern Qi lobbyists to meet Si Gu Jian alone.
However, what was interesting to Bei Qi was quite boring to Fan Xian today. So when the mighty convoy of the mission first entered Longshan City, he summoned the officials of the mission and subordinates of the Overwatch Council, and made a decision that stunned his subordinates.
However, no one dared to oppose Fan Xian's decision.
————————
Another year of spring comes, catkins are floating all over the sky, fluttering for thousands of miles, like snowflakes swaying in the warm wind. It soars upwards, covering the outline of the city and the sea light, causing pedestrians to cover their faces and scurry around in a collective grief.
Two merchants wearing hats stood amidst the flying catkins all over the sky. It was obvious that these were two strangers from other places. They didn't dislike these annoying catkins at all, but were a little intoxicated by them, standing beside the carriage and admiring them.
"It's really the most beautiful scene in the world, but it's a pity that it covers this most powerful city in the world, so I can't see clearly... Ah Yun!" The younger man with a hat sneezed loudly, which immediately ruined his interest in enjoying the spring. .
The older man in the hat next to him didn't respond, he just stared blankly at the catkins in the air, and after a while he woke up and said calmly: "It's such a big city, it's natural to see it when you get closer. These willow catkins were often seen when I was young, but it only took two days to dissipate. You are lucky, young master... But when it comes to the most beautiful scenery in the world, you have been sleeping for the past few days, so you didn't see it was a good one. A viewer."
The young man in the hat raised the brim of his hat, squinted at the passing pedestrians and merchants, and the city that could not be seen in the distance, showing his usual upright face, with a smile flashing in his eyes.
This person was none other than Nanqing Fan Xian. For some reason, he took the risk and escaped from the large army of the mission, and brought only the person beside him to Dongyi City.
Although Dongyi City should not attack Fan Xian at this time, who knows what kind of arrangements the Northern Qi people have made here. Fan Xian should not have taken such risks, but he had a complicated premonition that he had to come early Otherwise, Si Gu Jian might fall to the north.
And in terms of safety, he is not too worried. Although there are a lot of ninth-rank masters in Dongyi City, he is now a top-notch expert on the ninth rank. With the world's number one assassin next to him, he can't beat anyone, so he should escape. not difficult.
With a shadow by his side, it is like bringing half of the Sixth Office of the Overwatch Council.
Fan Xian looked back at the shadow, and couldn't help but smile slightly. During his trip to Dongyi, the shadow appeared and followed him. Those enemies who knew him very well in the world must never have guessed it. .
Fan Xian knew why the shadow was expressing emotions that were so different from usual at this moment, and why he suddenly became so talkative.
Uncle Wu Zhu talked more and more before he left, and the shadow of his number one admirer also talked more and more. From Fan Xian's point of view, this was a very good thing.
"Could it be that you haven't been back for so many years?" Fan Xian suddenly thought of something and asked in surprise.
The shadow pushed down the brim of the hat, blocking the catkins falling from the sky, covering his face, and said indifferently: "I can't kill him, what are you doing when you come back?"
Fan Xian smiled and didn't say anything else. The massacre in Dongyi City was so weird that it couldn't be explained except by using the Sigu sword to go crazy and an idiot. It's just that Si Gu Jian is a great master, so no one dares to ask him anything. Even if Fan Xian wanted to help Ying solve the tragic past that affected his life, he couldn't find any clues.
"Your idiot elder brother is going to die soon." He patted Shadow on the shoulder, sighed and said, "Death is like a lamp going out. I'll ask when the family reunite on Huangquan Road in the future."
Shadow's shoulders stiffened, and he said, "He must die by my hands."
Fan Xian's mood became tense, and he didn't know whether he was doing the right thing or doing the wrong thing when he brought the shadow back to Dongyi City.
…
…
Although Shadow hasn't returned to Dongyi City for a long time, after all, he grew up in this big city before he was a teenager. He still remembers the directions of the streets clearly, and his explanation about catkins is not wrong. Wait for the two of them to leave When they got close to Dongyi City, the flying catkins in the sky had already entered the soil, and there was no trace of flying catkins anymore.
Fan Xian jumped down from the shaft of the car, looked at the bustling market and the hurried businessmen around him, and said with emotion: "It really is a shopping mall, but I just went to Feixu, but it doesn't feel like a grand city. I'm really disappointed." .”
He was indeed very disappointed. It was rumored that Dongyi City was the largest city in the world. He did not expect that when Fan Xian really saw this city, he would find that this so-called largest city had no city walls, but just countless marketplaces. The buildings are spliced together!
"Dongyi City was built very late." Shadow said coldly from the side: "The city wall has not been repaired since the beginning."
Fan Xian looked at the gray buildings that filled his field of vision and the layers of streets, and was secretly startled. The area of Dongyi City was really big and scary. After listening to Shadow's explanation, he frowned and said, "But such a big city, without walls, Wouldn't it be easier to be invaded by foreign enemies?"
"The original Dongyi City was full of profiteering merchants and foolish people, who had no ability to resist foreign enemies at all. Even if they spent a lot of money to build a dangerous city wall, it would be impossible to resist the Northern Qi or Nanqing's army? Whether there is a city wall or not has little impact on Dongyi City."
After the shadow paused for a moment, he said: "Some people say that elder brother is the city wall of Dongyi City. If he is alive, Dongyi City has no walls, and no foreign enemy dares to invade. If he dies, even if Dongyi City has thousands of feet The wall is still the end of the country's ruin."
Fan Xian was silent for a long time, and understood the hidden meaning of Dongyi City's not building high walls. He cast his eyes on a certain place on the outskirts of Dongyi City, thinking to himself that the Dongyi City wall hidden in the sword hut, before it collapsed, , what choice will you make? And that person, has he already started trying to repair the gap in the heart of the city wall in the Sword Hut?
