The night rain fell on a foreign land, but it made a familiar tick-tock sound. Fan Xian took a sip of tea and said to Wang Qinian beside him, "Write a secret letter right away, and ask the courtyard to check Cui's relationship with him." Xinyang's relationship."
Wang Qinian glanced at him, and said softly, "The eldest princess can't move."
"Of course I know I can't move." Fan Xian knew that what the eldest princess did was in fact the Emperor's acquiescence, but today's meeting with Zhong Zhong broke up unhappily, which strengthened a certain thought in Fan Xian's mind, "I just I want to find out exactly how much power Xinyang has in the court."
"Yes." After Wang Qinian answered, he continued: "Master Cui is still kneeling outside, my lord... Do you want him to get up? After all, the Cui family is also a big family in Beijing, and there are many high-ranking officials in the court. .”
Fan Xian stared at the information sent from the courtyard, and ignored Wang Qinian's words. These angel groups were in Shangjing. Before Yan Bingyun came back, Fan Xian did not dare to use the intelligence system of Northern Qi, so the sources of information were somewhat reduced. He was very troubled. After a while, he seemed to have heard what Wang Qinian said, and said softly, "Let him kneel down. As a native of Qing, but being used as a gunman by Northern Qi, I can teach him for my mother-in-law."
…
…
The rain gradually became less and dripped from the eaves. This courtyard is an old building, so the place where the rain dripped was slightly subsidence. Fan Xian put on a piece of clothing and walked outside the house, looked at Mr. Cui who was kneeling in front of the stone steps, and didn't speak for a while.
The other people in the mission had long avoided this small courtyard, so it seemed extraordinarily quiet here.
"You should be very clear about what to do if your family still wants to do business in the north." Fan Xian looked indifferently at the drenched Young Master Cui, "I will spare your life for today's matter and write a letter by myself Send the letter to Xinyang. As for how the eldest princess will punish you, that is up to you, but when I am in Beijing, I don't want to see you sitting with those people from Beiqi again."
Mr. Cui kowtowed heavily, and buried his upper body in the stagnant water on the ground, trembling and afraid to speak.
"To remind you again, I am the commissioner of the Overwatch Council. Even if the eldest princess protects you, if I really want to make you Cui's misfortune, there are still many ways." Fan Xian said: "Although this is very vulgar But I think, for a stupid person like you, if you don’t make it clear, you will still be used as a knife by the Northern Qi people next time, and that would be very bad.”
Young Master Cui was still kneeling in misery. He woke up in the backyard of the mountain forest at that time, and only then did he realize how big a mistake he had made. Leaving aside Fan Xian's identity as the Overwatch Council that everyone feared, he only said that the other party was the eldest princess's son-in-law. In the other party's eyes, he was At most it's just an ant. Today, I made up my own mind and wanted to see what kind of business the Overwatch Council wanted to do with Bei Qi. I originally considered the issue from the position of the eldest princess, but if Fan Xian really decided to deal with him, I am afraid that the eldest princess would not bother to defend him. .
Considering Fan Xian's current power, what kind of aristocratic family is really despised.
"Let's put it bluntly." Fan Xian looked at him and said word by word: "You are doing things for the eldest princess, so naturally I won't come here to make things difficult for you. But I want to do something right now, so I hope you can see clearly now Case."
"Yes, Lord Fan." Young Master Cui said with a trembling voice, "I know my mistake."
"We are all courtiers of the Qing Kingdom, no matter how we are inside the court, but once we leave the territory, we must remember that you and I are all from the Qing Kingdom. Don't let outsiders see the joke. This is what makes me most angry."
…
…
After experiencing this episode, Xinyang respectfully maintained its respect for the mission, and it was only then that the Northern Qi side truly felt Fan Xian's power, to be precise, the power of the Southern Dynasty Supervisory Council. Shen Chong has always been trading with Xinyang, so when Fan Xian proposed this deal through the Marquis of Changning, he didn't think much of it, but looking at the current situation, that rumor seems to be true—if Fan Xian really takes control of the inner treasury in the coming year In his hands, the eldest princess lost her power, and the heavy governor offended Fan Xian again, which would really cut off a lot of money.
The Northern Qi Palace also knew about this matter, the Empress Dowager severely questioned Shen Shen, Shen Shen was full of anxiety, wondering who would have expected that Fan Tisi would not even give him a chance to bargain, and that Mr. The news that he went to the mission to kneel all night also reached Jin Yiwei's ears, and he knew that he had to look at Fan Xian again.
However, no one expected that Fan Xian actually didn't want to negotiate this deal with the other party at all. Several times in a row, Zhong Zhong sent someone to invite Fan Xian, but Fan Xian pushed him away extremely coldly, as if he didn't want to talk anymore.
"My lord, what exactly do you want to do?" Wang Qinian is Fan Xian's confidant, there are many things that even the Overwatch Council doesn't know, but Wang Qinian is very clear. He knows that his lord has done a lot in secret. Things are dealing with the eldest princess of Xinyang, but the eldest princess doesn't seem to be aware of it yet.
But now Fan Xian put on an appearance of wanting to reconcile with the eldest princess, which made Wang Qinian very puzzled.
"I don't want everyone to know what I want to do." Fan Xian straightened his clothes without looking back, but said softly, "The eldest princess wants something from me right now, so I naturally want to take this opportunity to get some Benefit."
Wang Qinian was still puzzled, and Fan Xian didn't explain further.
※※※
That afternoon, a carriage drove directly into the mission's residence through the corner gate. This carriage looked very shabby, very ordinary, no matter from the decoration of the carriage or the appearance of the driver, there was nothing unusual about it. But everyone in charge of guarding the mission could clearly feel the tension inside the mission, and there were shadows outside, all of which were the shadows of the Northern Qi Jinyiwei.
Fan Xian looked at the carriage, but said something that seemed to have nothing to do with it at this time: "It seems that Si Lili has also arrived in Beijing."
A young man in a white light shirt opened the carriage door, moved slowly, stood there, looked at the sky above his head, squinted his eyes slightly, then lowered his head and scanned the crowd looking at him in the yard, he easily From these people, they felt the smell of the yard, and a slight smile appeared on the corners of their lips.
Fan Xian stepped forward, humbled and supported Yan Bingyun's intact right hand, carefully helped him out of the car, and said softly, "Welcome home."
For the Qing people, the location of the mission is like their homeland. Yan Bingyun had been imprisoned for a long time, and he already had the idea of dying. Although he still couldn't accept Xiao En in exchange for his agreement, but now he set foot on the land of the mission, and heard Mr. Fan's words "Welcome home" , I can't help but still feel touched in my heart.
There are no civil servants from the Honglu Temple system in the small courtyard. Except for the seven Tiger Guards, they are all Overwatch Council officials lurking in the mission this time. Everyone looked at this young man who had some difficulty walking, and bowed down in unison: " See Lord Yan!"
The voice was neither passionate nor loud, but one could feel the sincerity of everyone.
Yan Bingyun smiled, didn't say anything, but said softly: "I'm very surprised that I was able to come out alive."
Fan Xian supported his hand, and also laughed, "I'm also surprised that all your fingernails were not removed."
These two future chief and deputy officers of the Overwatch Council spoke in extremely soft voices, only each other could hear them.
…
…
Yan Bingyun returned to the embassy, and half of his mission to Northern Qi was completed. Fan Xian was determined, and after saying a few words to Wang Qinian, he helped Yan Bingyun into the inner room, and then said: " Take off your clothes, I don't care about it."
Obviously, a person like Yan Bingyun would not misunderstand anything, and slowly tore off the white clothes on his body, revealing a lean and well-proportioned naked body. Fan Xian raised his brows, thinking about how he felt when he was changing clothes in three places in Kyoto, and found that the other party was indeed much calmer than himself.
He took out the medicine box from the box, picked some up with his fingers, and began to spread it evenly on Yan Bingyun's body. Wherever the finger passed, it was full of ups and downs, and the scars were terrifying, it was really indescribable.
"I always thought you were just a lucky person." Yan Bingyun said indifferently, "However, Fan Tisi was able to remain so calm when he saw the wound on Xiaguan's body. It seems much better than I imagined."
Fan Xian's fingers rested under Yan Bingyun's left chest. The bone there was obviously broken and reconnected, and a huge piece bulged out. The outside was light red newborn skin, which looked very ugly: "That's because You don't understand my upbringing."
"I think I understand it very well." Yan Bingyun looked into his eyes indifferently, "Master Fan, I understand your life from birth to twelve years old very well."
Fan Xian tilted his head slightly, looked at the other party, and said nothing.
Yan Bingyun also fell into silence, as if he didn't want to continue on that topic. After a while, he said, "Thank you sir for healing my wounds, but I want to prepare wound medicine, and your subordinates should be better at it than your lord. Finally, please allow the next official to write a prescription, and let the people from the mission help to grab some medicines."
Fan Xian ignored him, and continued to concentrate on applying the wound medicine, supplemented by the healing methods he had learned since childhood.
"Eat it." Fan Xian unceremoniously stuffed a pill into Yan Bingyun's mouth, and said coldly: "When it comes to healing wounds and detoxification, no one in this world dares to shout in front of me except Fei Jie." .”
