Chen Pingping gently folded off a small pink flower, and carefully pinned it to the end of her hair. Seeing that the flower trembled and would fall at any time, Fan Xian quickly pressed the old man's temples with his fingers to make the flower more beautiful. Be steady.
Chen Pingping laughed very happily, patted Fan Xian's hand lightly, and said, "After sixteen or seventeen years of tossing around, you finally entered Beijing and finally grew up, and I have an answer to your mother. "
Fan Xian has always been curious about the story back then, and couldn't help asking, "How many people were there in total?" This question was naturally for those powerful people who followed their mother and wanted to change the world.
"You count it yourself."
Fan Xian counted on his fingers and said with a smile, "Six people."
"Well, your mother is a very remarkable person." Chen Pingping smiled slightly, "It seems that you are quite smart."
"About the previous sentence, Teacher Fei Jie already said it when I was very young."
"I guess he didn't say that we actually miss your mother very much. In some ways, she is my guide."
"A little unexpected." Fan Xian smiled and said, "But I can guess a little bit."
"Be more respectful to Si Nanbo and better to the Fan family." Chen Pingping suddenly said seriously, "They have paid a lot for you."
Fan Xian lowered his eyes slightly. He was able to save his little baby's life in such a terrible situation back then, and make the people in the palace believe that he was dead without asking...Father, he must have sacrificed a lot . He said: "Who is the enemy I really need to guard against? It can't be the madman of the eldest princess. She was still very young back then."
"The eldest princess is just a poor woman. For the royal family, the young lady's brilliance is too dazzling. She has lived in the shadow of your mother all her life. She claims to be smart and capable, and she has made a lot of benefits for the Qing country, but In His Majesty's heart, she is always inferior to your mother's status, so she is a little jealous. As for the enemy... there is no enemy, there is no enemy." Chen Pingping repeated softly, as if trying to convince herself.
"Control the Overwatch Council first, and then the Internal Treasury. I think there will always be some people who will notice something is wrong." Fan Xian said with a smile, "What exactly do you want me to do?"
Chen Pingping said softly: "Don't you want to be a powerful minister?"
Fan Xian looked into Chen Pingping's eyes, and suddenly said, "I think, I know what you are going to do."
Chen Pingping's expression remained unchanged, she smiled and said, "I hope you will keep pretending that you don't know what I'm going to do."
Fan Xian frowned: "Although I don't have any blood for them, I still don't want to see too many people shed blood."
"It's still early." Chen Pingping said softly, "Besides, when it comes to bleeding, it is often stupid people who first pull out their knives and want to cut someone else's neck, but accidentally cut it on their own neck."
Fan Xian gave a slight smile. Although he respected and trusted this old man, he had to eat by himself and walk the road by himself. Although he had not met but tacitly cooperated with the director of the Overwatch Council since entering Beijing, the other party did things for him. There are many things, but if there is something in the future that causes the two to have different ideas, Fan Xian will choose to respect his own wishes first.
Chen Pingping waved her hand, frowned and said, "In the future, you have to learn to open your eyes a little bit, don't always stare at a department, a department, a mere official, this mere capital. You have to learn to stand higher..."
Fan Xian responded with a smile: "Do you want to set your sights on the world?"
Chen Pingping smiled and said, "Maybe higher."
Fan Xian was silently puzzled.
"You go, go to Beiqi now, be careful." Chen Pingping coughed twice, took off the small pink flowers on her temples, rubbed them gently with her fingers, and said softly: "Xiao En is going to die, of course, you must first Ensure your own safety. Besides, you can handle the three tasks at your own discretion. If the situation permits, you can try to find out where the temple is. After all, in this world, only Kuhe, the national teacher of the Northern Qi Dynasty Contacted the temple."
Fan Xian frowned and said, "The temple...is too sudden, I don't seem to have much confidence, although I really like taking risks in my bones."
Chen Pingping nodded: "Your mother was also very adventurous back then. But I really rarely worried about your life and death. If the five masters have taught you for so many years, and you still can't crawl back from Beiqi alive, then I will be at your funeral express my disappointment with you."
The old man smiled, and sprinkled the petals between his fingers on the ground, making them all pink, thinking that the real enemy is something that a young man like you can't handle

After bidding farewell to his mother's closest old comrade-in-arms, Fan Xian returned to the building, met Yan Ruohai, took some files and prepared to go back home to study. The situation in Northern Qi was extremely complicated. Even if Chen Pingping wanted to use this matter to allow Fan Xian to truly control the Overwatch Council, if Fan Xian was unwilling, no one could force him to go to that strange country...
But Fan Xian really wanted to go.
In the previous life, he was imprisoned in a sickly body and could not control himself; in this life, he was imprisoned in a bizarre life experience and could not control himself. It was rare for this mission to Northern Qi to allow chickens to fly as high as the sky, and shrimps to crawl as wide as the sea. Fan Xian would not let go of this opportunity of presumptuousness. So he seriously asked Yan Ruohai what he should pay attention to during this mission, and asked about the people in Northern Qi that he needed to pay attention to.
Yan Ruohai shook his head, looking at the young commissioner, he didn't seem to know why Fan Xian was so keen on this matter, and said, "Northern Qi has always been unstable, the empress dowager is too young, and the emperor is too young, but after the war last year, it seems Their capital has become much more stable. There should be three aspects that Mr. Tisi needs to pay attention to, one is He Daoren, the other is Uesugi Tiger, and the third is naturally the rarely seen Guoshi Kuhe."
"He Taoist?" Fan Xian frowned. There is no Taoism in this world, so why is it called He Taoist
Yan Ruohai didn't know what he was thinking, so he didn't explain, and continued: "He Daoren is a master of the rear party, and Cheng Jushu, who Fan Tisi killed last year, is his apprentice. Uesugi Tiger is a rare general in the Northern Qi Dynasty. Fighting against the barbarians in the snow in the north, I heard that after the defeat of the Northern Qi Dynasty last year, he was transferred back to the capital by the young emperor. During this trip to the Northern Qi Dynasty, Mr. Tisi must pay attention to him, because the courtyard has been suspicious of his master. As for Ku As one of the four great masters in the world, Master He should not be involved in these worldly matters, but..."
He frowned, and said: "Ku He has accepted a closed disciple, and this year he will officially enter the world to practice. Master Tisi is famous all over the world, so you should be careful when the other party comes to make trouble."
Fan Xian was taken aback, thinking of the common prostitute sects in the novels of his previous life for no reason, and asked with a wry smile, "It can't be a woman, can it?"
Yan Ruohai said expressionlessly: "I don't know men and women, but I only know that in the past three months, this great master's closed disciple has traveled around the whole area of Beiquan and picked countless high-ranking masters. There are even rumors that the other party is the legendary Tianmai Master." .” He glanced at Fan Xian, and asked softly, “Master Tisi knows about Tianmai, right?”
Fan Xian felt that this word seemed a little familiar, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, thinking that Teacher Fei Jie mentioned it once when he was a child, and later in the Guangxin Palace of the eldest princess, when he eavesdropped on her conversation with Zhuang Mohan and everyone, he also remembered it. I heard it once.
After listening to Yan Ruohai's explanation, Fan Xian frowned: "It takes five hundred years for a genius to come out. The blood of heaven is not the leeks grown in the field. I don't think so. believe."
Yan Ruohai nodded, and said, "Analyses, it is estimated that the Northern Qi Dynasty needs to create an image of a peerless young and strong man to boost the confidence of the people because of their successive defeats in the Northern Qi Dynasty."
Fan Xian smiled and said, "It's more likely. It's like the image of me as the commissioner has been shaped in the courtyard... What's that man's name?"
"Begonia."
Fan Xian had a headache: "I hope to be a sissy, but don't really be a sissy."
The two chatted a few more words casually, and finally Yan Ruohai looked at Fan Xian calmly, the crow's feet in the corners of his eyes were extremely wrinkled, and said softly, "I'll trouble Mrs. Tisi about the children's matters."
"I told you at the gate of the Ministry of Punishment." Fan Xian replied seriously, "I will bring Mr. Yan back to Qing Kingdom safely."

After leaving the four rooms, Wang Qinian, who had been waiting outside, hurried over and took the pile of cases in Fan Xian's hands. Fan Xian looked ahead, but whispered to his "confidant": "Go to Beiqi, I will definitely take you with me."
"Thank you, Sir, for your trust." Wang Qinian replied with a smile. This trip to the Northern Qi Dynasty, if there is no other arrangement, is really a gilded trip, a free and easy trip, no country in this world would dare to lay hands on the mission.
Fan Xian shook his head and said, "I took you there because you are the fastest runner in the Overwatch Council, except for Zong Zhui, of course."
Wang Qinian smiled wryly and didn't say anything. He had gone to Zong Zhui to talk about the past for a long time. He and Zong Zhui were both known as the two wings of the Overwatch Council back then, but later Wang Qinian settled down to literary affairs, so his position gradually became ordinary. Zong Zhui was always depressed. Now Wang Qinian has become Fan Xian and Fan Tisi's confidant, and Zong Zhuifu Feeling that the old friend of the past has finally regained some glory now, I am very happy.
Senior brother Leng, the leader of the three divisions, had already been waiting by the door of the secret room. When he saw Fan Xian coming, he didn't say hello much, feeling very cold. Pushing open the door of the secret room and entering, there was a gust of fresh wind, but the wind speed was not fast. Fan Xian raised his eyebrows, and immediately knew that the place where the air circulated must have nothing to do with the place where the poison was refined.
Leng Tou glanced at the younger brother, then suddenly grinned and said, "You have a good figure."
Fan Xian glanced at his senior brother whom he had just met, and shuddered, thinking... no way? Immediately listening to the next sentence of the senior brother, the cold head shouted loudly towards the inside: "Standard!"
Fan Xian was taken aback, and after a while, he saw five or six people pushing out a large table. On the table were several boxes and a piece of clothing made of a strange material. Those five or six people glanced at Fan Xian, their faces expressionless, perhaps because they had stayed in three such weird departments for a long time, so they all looked a little dull. But after careful examination, several people still couldn't help showing their admiration, and said to Fan Tisi repeatedly: "The figure is really good."
