Naturally, the pastry was carefully prepared by Fan Xian, which is a must-have at home. This trip to the north cannot be without good poison.
Seeing that the other party has seen through this, Fan Xian smiled bitterly and said, "I am confident that this medicinal powder should have no peculiar smell at all. How did Mr. Xiao notice it?"
Xiao En glanced at him, then slowly closed his eyes, and said, "You are Fei Jie's student, no matter how clever you are, you still can't get out of Fei Jie's category. I'm in your prison, eating He and Chen Pingping couldn't bear to kill me, so they had to use these medicines to damage my body's meridians. If it were you, who had eaten shortbread at a stall for more than ten years, suddenly one day, this The new apprentice of the master chef at the stall made another shortbread, although it tastes like scallion oil, I think you can still taste the product from that stall.”
A hint of admiration rose from the bottom of Fan Xian's heart, and he sighed, "It's probably because the flour and water in each stall are different."
"Yeah." Sean smiled, but that smile made people feel a little cold. "The same is true for poisons. I'm an old man. I don't taste poisons based on the taste, but purely on the taste."
…
…
Fan Xian opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but finally just smiled and sighed: "What state is this? This is the state of eating poison as if it were rice." Since Xiao En tasted poison in the pastry, he still ate it calmly. Poison definitely has no effect, Fan Xian continued with a smile and said, "There are three masters using poison in the world. My teacher is one, and the other is dead. I almost forgot that Mr. Xiao is also one of these three. The boy is really a little Overwhelmed."
Xiao En stretched his wrist, the iron chain rang, and Fan Xian delivered the clear water to his hand just right.
When the bowl of water was exhausted, Xiao En suddenly closed his eyes and smiled and said, "What if I want to give Gong?"
"There's a toilet in the car."
"It's sunny outside."
"It's already set."
"Looking at the night in Qing Kingdom is also good."
"The night is cold and the dew is heavy. Mr. is old, you should stay in the car and rest."
One old and one young, one whispered words with closed eyes, and the other responded with a smile. Sean opened his eyes and said calmly: "I have been in prison for many years, and I only saw a glimmer of sunlight at the gate. Master Fan, how about allowing me to go out and have a look?"
Fan Xian shook his head resolutely, but still had a smile on his face: "It's very dangerous."
"I'm not in danger." Sean said softly, "Since you have reached an agreement with the north, anyone with some wisdom knows that it is the wisest choice for me to follow the mission safely. "
Fan Xian calmly replied, "Mr. Xiao, before leaving the Jingdu Road, the security of the mission is the responsibility of the Jingdu garrison. I think you can guess why the Qing Kingdom is willing to return you to Beiqi this time. This is very important." It is a humiliating thing, so I am very worried, if you really get out of the car in handcuffs and shackles, maybe many feathered arrows will suddenly fly from afar and shoot you into a hedgehog."
Knowing that what the young man from the enemy country said was not false, Xiao En said with a smile: "Don't you want to kill me? If I go back to the north, within three years, I will definitely cause unbearable losses to your country. "
Fan Xian shook his head, but there was confidence on his pretty face: "I'm not from the older generation, so I only respect the legend for you, I never thought that even if you returned to the north, you could still call the wind and rain like you did back then. Of course, if I can kill you, this is the easiest way to deal with it, but in comparison, I value the safety of the chip I exchanged with you more, so don't worry, I will definitely save your life until Beiqi's death Go to Beijing and leave it to your friends."
Sean was silent.
Fan Xian said with a smile: "Until now, I still can't accurately judge how much strength you have so far, so I will be very careful along the way. As for the outside of your carriage, I will keep enough strength at all times to ensure that when you When you want to get out of the carriage to relax, we can respond immediately."
Sean laughed, but still didn't say anything.
Since the secret poisoning was discovered and obviously ineffective, he had no choice but to use the brutal trick on the surface—Fan Xian exhaled lightly, then stood up, and stretched out his feet to step on the iron that firmly bound Xiao En's hands. The chain was strangely tied around Sean's elbow with a piece of black cloth, and he patted the back of the old man's hand lightly but extremely rudely.
Then he took out a flat iron box from his bosom, opened the box and took out a long, slender and extremely sharp needle. Storage for medicine.
Sean's eyes were blood red, he looked into Fan Xian's eyes coldly, and Fan Xian approached with the needle without any panic.
Suddenly there was a very strange feeling in the carriage. Fan Xian's nose suddenly felt a little sweet, and the air was full of blood, which was actually slightly flushed. This breath came from Xiao En's faintly angry body.
…
…
The Tiger Guards and Overwatch Council officials outside the car immediately sensed the abnormality in the car, ran over silently, and took out the weapons in their hands. Wang Qinian, who was guarding under the carriage, looked back at the carriage, frowned slightly, and then waved to the people beside the carriage who were facing a formidable enemy, indicating that there was no problem.
On the carriage, Fan Xian slowly took the thin needle from the back of Xiao En's hand, took out a silk towel and carefully wiped the tip of the needle, then raised his head and smiled, "Thank you, Mr. Xiao, for your cooperation."
He didn't know what acupuncture point the needle was piercing on, and he didn't know what kind of medicine was poured into the needle. Xiao En's astonishing aura had weakened a lot, and even his face seemed a little sluggish.
"I respect you, I only respect the elderly." Fan Xian stooped and walked out of the carriage, "But you have to remember, you are not some Northern Wei secret spy chief, nor are you a murderous person who shakes the world, you are just I am just a prisoner, if you try to escape, I have many ways to kill you."
※※※
"My lord, there's no need to be so careful." Wang Qinian sat with him under a tree by the roadside, looked at Fan Xian's slightly tired face and said, "If Xiao En wants to regain his freedom, he should cooperate with us and be honest. Enter the border of Northern Qi."
Fan Xian shook his head and said, "You don't understand, even if someone like Xiao En has been imprisoned for more than ten or twenty years? Look in his eyes, what else is there besides resentment? There is also insight into everything." Horrible, and burning ambition. If he only asked for freedom, he would cooperate with us, but if he asked for more, he would definitely find a way to escape. The Overwatch Council prison is closely guarded, and he has no chance. But this is a long journey north, and he has too many opportunities, so I will do everything possible to weaken his fighting power and fighting desire under the premise of ensuring his survival."
"Why did he run away?"
"Because the regime in the north is not the Northern Wei Dynasty for which he has served for many years and was even imprisoned for it, but the Northern Qi Dynasty." Fan Xian said with a smile: "Although the Northern Qi royal family's war family, the Marshal Zhan Qingfeng had a very close relationship with Xiao En. Okay, but after all, the dynasty has changed. Xiao En has been imprisoned for so many years, and he doesn't know how the royal family in the north will treat him. If the Northern Qi royal family thinks he is still valuable, they will naturally respect him as a guest. But if there is no such Such benefits, think about it, the Northern Qi royal family has gone crazy, will let a terrifying spy leader like Xiao En regain a foothold in Shangjing?"
"Then why is Bei Qi willing to exchange Young Master Yan for Xiao En this time?"
"Because of two people." Fan Xian did not explain further, "One is Zhuang Mohan, and the other... I guess it should be the famous northern general named Uesugi Tiger."
"My lord thinks that the reason why Xiao En took the risk to escape is because he doesn't trust the royal family of Northern Qi?"
Fan Xian thought of what Uncle Wu Zhu had said to him, and sighed quietly: "People in our profession would never trust anyone. As for Sean, he must have other ideas, but I temporarily I can't guess it, I just know that I must survive to go to Beijing, it's as simple as that."
"Where will Shawn do it?"
"Before leaving the country, if he enters the territory of Northern Qi, even if he escapes, it is the responsibility of Northern Qi." Fan Xian said flatly, "Since Xiao En wants Northern Qi to recognize his status, he can't screw up this agreement."
He stood up suddenly and shouted, "If you don't go to the station today, you will camp in the wild."
The subordinates responded in unison and went to each team to organize camping. Wang Qinian glanced at Fan Xian with some doubts, Fan Xian shook his head and said, "Take some exercise and get used to it. After leaving Cangzhou, there will be no post stations in the north. Since it's not far from the capital, let these people work as soon as possible." Get used to the atmosphere."
"Field battles are not about playing tricks." Wang Qinian saw that the adults were worried, so he tactfully began to play the role of flattery again.
Fan Xian clapped his hands lightly, smiled and waved him away, then sat silently under the tree alone, staring at the carriage, thinking of the old man in the carriage.
"I don't want you to suddenly change your name to Shawshank."
Fan Xian was still a little nervous when he was injected with poison in the car earlier, he didn't know if Sean would explode or not. After several times of probing, he still didn't know that after more than ten years of life in a deep prison, this one of the few ninth-rank masters in the world still retained some strength, but he knew that without finding the best Before the time comes, that terrifying Sean will definitely be very honest.
The mountain wind blew from the woods behind Fan Xian, blowing the sweaty clothes on his back, making it damp and cold. After a while, he stood up expressionlessly, and walked towards Si Lili's carriage.
