In front of a valley about 20 miles away from Suzhou City, a nondescript manor is quietly waiting for the twilight to fall.
With the arrival of twilight and the darkness of night, the four hundred black horsemen with their mouths in their mouths and their hoofs wrapped around cloth, quietly completed the siege of the manor like a god of death in the night.
Then there was a bloody fight. The black riders outside the garden shot rockets into it, and the people inside were also setting themselves on fire.
When the smoke rises, human life is gone, and the garden is destroyed.
…
…
The Black Cavalry is the Fifth Division of the Overwatch Council, the department with the most powerful force, but there is no one in the office, and it has been waiting outside the capital for Chen Pingping's transfer. It wasn't until later that the Overwatch Council had a young chief minister, and the black knights were divided into two, with half a thousand of them following Fan Xian. From this incident, it can also be seen that Chen Pingping attaches great importance to Fan Xian.
Last year when Fan Xian was on a mission to Northern Qi, the black cavalry escorted him all the way to the border, and outside the Wudu River, he successfully wiped out the army sent by Uesugi Tiger to rescue Xiao En. The strength of force can be seen.
The black cavalry who had been on standby in Jiangbei finally had a place to use today, but the deputy commander of the black cavalry who rode a horse standing at the foot of the mountain did not show any excitement.
For them, it's just a simple job.
Now the commander of the four hundred black cavalry is the deputy commander of the five divisions, whose surname is Jing Wuming.
Jing Jiang rode steadily on the horse, watched the raging fire in the garden, slowly pressed his right hand on his face, and took off the black mask that covered his face, revealing the pale cheeks under the mask and the pair of indifferent eyes. s eyes.
The task assigned by Master Tisi has been completed, but he never expected that there would be such a powerful force in this humble garden, which caused some damage to the black knight. The most terrifying thing is that everyone in this garden, He seemed to know that he had only one way to die, and resisted desperately, but none of them surrendered.
General Jing didn't know who was in the garden, but he was just following the order of the chief minister, and the people in the garden set fire to it themselves, and some of the dark evidence must have been burned long ago.
As soon as he took the reins, his horse's hooves clattered, and he slowly approached the burning garden. The cavalry under him were treating the wounded and cleaning up the scene. He watched all this fiercely with both eyes, and suddenly the eyelids twitched slightly.
The five knights burst out of the flames, shining black flames, like ghosts and death knights in the underworld.
On top of the five knights, apart from the knights in black armor, there were a few more figures who were tied up like zongzi.
Jing pressed his right hand back on the face, and put on the black mask again before Wu Qi arrived, his thin lips parted slightly, and a cold voice sounded, somewhat surprised, somewhat surprised: "Live?"
Wuqi approached him and reported: "These five people hid in the well and surrendered."
Even though General Jing was indifferent, he felt more unexpected joy in his heart, the corners of his lips twitched, showing a cold smile: "Master Tisi should be happy."
With the momentum of this garden's desperate resistance and the arrangement of burning jade and rock together, it is indeed not easy to catch the living. General Jing looked at the five captives who were tied up immediately, and felt a little strange in his heart.
"Go back to Suzhou."
The golden flames are reflected on the black mask, which looks colorful and has a chilling smell.
Under the mask, General Jing issued an order coldly. The horses outside the garden neighed, tearing apart the tranquility of the valley's dark night. The horses' hoofs made a slight noise, and then lined up again, turning into three black torrents in a uniform order, circling the raging The burning manor slanted across the road at the foot of the mountain, sinking into the night.
And shortly after the black knight came out of the mountain and entered the plain like a ghost, he met Deng Ziyue and his party who had come under orders, and received the latest order from the chief minister.
General Jing was silent for a while, and arranged for a cavalry squad to take the prisoners to the capital. The remaining hundreds of Hei Ye Slayers did not enter the city, but crossed the river quietly and returned to their camp in the north of the river.
※※※
When Deng Ziyue returned to the Huayuan, Fan Xian just nodded to show that he understood. He wrote the secret note to His Majesty the Emperor in the study, and handed it over to the subordinates in the courtyard to send it back to the capital quickly. Then he came to the main hall of the Huayuan alone. middle.
In the main hall, bright lights hang high, illuminating brightly, especially the box of snowflake silver, which is lying quietly in the box, reflecting the attractive light.
Fan Xian glanced at the box of silver, shook his head, sighed, and sat on the chair beside the box, thinking in his heart that silver is really useful.
One hundred and thirty-eight thousand eight hundred and eighty taels of silver were neatly stacked in the box.
Fan Xian couldn't help but glanced again, sighed again, and finally gave up on the idea in his heart.
Facing Ye Liuyun today, the feeling of helplessness, helplessness, and powerlessness made Fan Xian feel a little annoyed. Of course, he didn't feel any unnecessary self-pity, and he didn't feel any sense of humiliation. Grandmaster is a fair thing, it's just...
He knows that no matter how his life develops in the future, he will one day face the great master, even if it is not Ye Liuyun, Si Gu Jian or the one in the palace, he will always have to face it head-on.
But today, Ye Liuyun cut half a building with his sword, and the super aura that filled the world made Fan Xian clearly realize that there is nothing he can do about himself as a Grandmaster.
It's like the Ming family has nothing to do with themselves, it's the same reason.
The great master is too strong, so strong that he can ignore the general siege by force. No wonder the emperor Lao Tzu has been lukewarm towards the Ye family. No wonder Ku He was able to support the orphan and widowed mother back then. No wonder Si Gu Jian, an idiot, can protect Dongyi City .
Fan Xian thought in his heart, sighed, and began to miss dear Uncle Wu Zhu.
But immediately, he overturned his own thoughts. In his life, he cannot always rely on his uncle to solve his worries and difficulties. Especially Wu Zhu can't take advantage of these great masters. Fan Xian is from the bottom of his heart. He was reluctant to let Uncle Wuzhu take risks and make troubles.
…
…
So, how does one kill a Grand Master
Accompanied by a box of silver and a room full of lights, Fan Xian fell into deep thought. In an instant, many scenarios and themes have been simulated in my mind. What kind of place and opportunity must be created to kill a great master on the spot.
He subconsciously patted the box with his palm, and suddenly stood up, shouting loudly: "A meeting! A meeting!"
While shouting, he walked towards the back hall.
Lord Tisi called for a meeting, so naturally no one dared to neglect. The upper-level officials arranged by the Overwatch Council in Huayuan, all members of the Qi Nian team, and the seven tiger guards all gathered in the meeting hall.
As soon as Fan Xian's butt fell on the chair, he couldn't help laughing and cursing: "Bring Mr. Lin back to play."
He glared at the third prince who was watching the excitement and the big treasure who also ran in at some point, and asked the maids to help the two ancestors back.
Taking another look at the number of people arriving, he shook his head and said, "Invite Shi Chanli and Miss Sang Wen over."
The subordinates led away, and after a while, Shi Sang and the two also arrived in the hall. Shi Chanli often handles some affairs for the master, so he is not unfamiliar with this kind of meeting situation. On the contrary, Sang Wen's gentle face is full of hesitation and surprise, thinking that the imperial envoy is naturally discussing important government affairs, and he is alone. What is the singer doing
"The theme of today's meeting is very simple. Everyone thinks openly, and boldly speaks out any weird ideas."
Fan Xian rubbed his temples and said with a headache, "I really can't think of anything else by myself."
Huwei Gaoda took a look at him, and saw the worry of Lord Tisi, but he didn't know what he was worried about, and said in a deep voice: "My lord, please give me your instructions."
"Brainstorm, brainstorm." Fan Xian said with a wry smile, "Big fellows are here to help you come up with ideas."
Everyone looked at him curiously, not knowing what to think.
Fan Xian said seriously: "You said... How can I kill a great master?"
…
…
The meeting hall immediately became cold. All the subordinates looked at each other in blank dismay, and Miss Sang Wen pursed the corners of her somewhat wide lips into small cherry mouths in shock, and Shi Chanli had a strong urge to turn around and leave.
What is this discussion about
How does one kill a grand master
If someone really can think of a way, then the first thing Nanqing and Beiqi will do is to send people to kill Sigujian according to the law, and then the two countries will first divide the wealth of Dongyi City with the noble women of those vassal states Booty!
All the people in the hall believed that Deng Ziyue had a higher official position and were close to Fan Xian. Looking at the expression on the face of the lord and the strange faces of his colleagues, Xiao Yi said, "My lord...was he injured by the sword energy?"
Fan Xian was taken aback, and immediately cursed angrily, "I didn't hurt my brain!"
He didn't care how shocked his subordinates were, and forced everyone to come up with ideas anyway. For a moment, the people in the conference hall were forced to have no choice but to pick out some ridiculous ideas, but while making ideas, everyone felt a little uneasy. The great master is admired by all people, and he is a fairy-like role. To obey Master Tisi's order, think about how to harm him...
But after all, the Overwatch Council is a sinister office full of black water. After a few words, everyone let go of their courage, and felt an inexplicable pleasure. Thinking about it is exciting enough.
Someone said in the beginning of the article that for the Grand Master, it is definitely impossible to fight, so to deal with him, the first thing to do is to weaken his strength and strengthen your own strength. It is recommended to use poison.
Someone immediately retorted that the grand master's kung fu has reached the peak, and if the poison enters the body, it will be turned into a puddle of snow and water, which is useless.
Someone suggested that one should choose the kind of drug that stimulates the body's own characteristics, which is neither an external poison, but can mobilize the body's emotions or energy in a short period of time, and it will naturally become weak afterwards.
Fan Xian interjected coldly, "That's an aphrodisiac."
Some people also said that if you want to kill a person, you must first mess up his mind, and if you want to kill a person, you must first make him crazy. Some special scenes should be constructed to intensify the emotions of the great master and let his mind fall into confusion.
Fan Xian nodded, appreciating it very much, but he was cursing in his heart, Ouyang Feng was even more crazy.
Deng Zi thought about it for a long time, then suddenly slapped the table and said: "It's actually not difficult, as long as you find a way to arrange a game, so that the opponent can't escape lightly, then use six crossbow camps to surround them, release them in a row, non-stop, consume Its true strength, fighting with ten thousand crossbow arrows, also makes the opponent's body weak... Then use five black horses to charge at it. dead."
Fan Xian looked at him and asked, "How many people are estimated to die in your plan?"
Deng Ziyue made some calculations and said, "The six crossbow battalions are estimated to be completely wiped out, and there should still be 10% of the black knights alive."
Fan Xian shook his head and said, "I want to kill people, not to send my own people to die."
Deng Ziyue said excitedly: "If it really succeeds, it doesn't matter how many people die."
Fan Xian raised his eyebrows. He sneered and said: "Then how can you make the other party not move? Just let you shoot and charge? He is not a scarecrow..."
Deng Zi became more silent.
The big brainstorming was still going on, and the ideas everyone came up with became more and more absurd. Someone suggested being a kidnapper, someone suggested playing an avalanche, and someone suggested playing tricks on the latrine.
Then rebuttals followed. First of all, Si Gu Jian had no relatives, and he had killed all his relatives. At the same time, there was no snow in Dongyi City all year round. As for the last proposal, everyone scoffed. Don't bother to pay attention at all.
Fan Xian looked at this scene coldly, and felt at ease. Today's seemingly absurd discussion was actually to dilute the shock in the hearts of his subordinates about today's Baoyuelou incident. There was a strong shadow in the hearts of these people, and it was difficult to even see the original firmness on Gundam's face.
Working with such a group of subordinates, they cannot be allowed to immerse themselves in such inappropriate emotions.
That's why Fan Xian asked everyone to discuss how to kill the grand master in an open and honest manner. After several discussions, it can be clearly seen that the fear that everyone suppressed deep in their hearts has faded a lot. Besides being excited, it can be regarded as cleared away. The shock received during the day was very effective.
Of course, the people discussing matters in the hall did mention some extremely effective methods. Who knows if Fan Xian will use them in the future. As for all the subordinates taking the Sigu Sword as their imaginary enemy for granted, it was somewhat beyond Fan Xian's expectations.
The subjects of the Qing Kingdom naturally never thought of dealing with Ye Liuyun.
Because of the honeymoon period with Bei Qi, because of Fan Xian's relationship with Haitang, and because Miss Fan's family has now become Master Ku He's closed disciple, the subordinates will naturally not be blind enough to discuss how to kill Ku He in front of Mr. Tisi. charge.
It was that poor Si Gu Jian again.
…
…
Discussion until the end of the candle, after the crowd dispersed, they were still whispering in the garden among the corridors, excited by Mr. Tisi's bold move, and couldn't help themselves.
Fan Xian shook his head, called Sang Wen, and said, "Baoyue Tower is half destroyed, and it will take at least half a month to repair it. How did the girls in the building arrange it?"
When we first went to evacuate the neighborhood, all the guests in Baoyue Building left, and the girls were also evacuated to a safe place. Until now, Fan Xian had the leisure to worry about his brothel business.
Sang Wen respectfully replied: "The girls are temporarily placed in other buildings. The bosses are very talkative, so they took them over. It's not a problem to stay in the other buildings for a long time."
Fan Xian nodded. In the entire Suzhou city, no one dared not to look at his face at this moment. Those brothel bosses helped take in their girls, and it was too late for them to be happy.
"Well, let Shi Chanli take the lead in the reconstruction. You can take a break these days." Fan Xian suddenly thought of something, raised his eyebrows, and showed a ruthless look on his handsome face, "All the details All the big and small bills have been collected, and when I return to Beijing next year, I will find someone to collect the bills."
Sang Wen responded.
Fan Xian asked: "You don't want to live outside, Huayuan is a big place, you will accompany Sisi these days and help take care of my uncle."
Sang Wen smiled honestly, covered his mouth and said nothing.
"What's wrong?"
"Miss Haitang also said the same thing." Sang Wen laughed softly, "And those two girls were also brought into the garden."
Fan Xian was stunned, and then realized that she said yes to the two top cards in Baoyuelou, Liang Diandian and Ma Suosuo, he couldn't help being a little surprised at Haitang's delicate mind, Liang Diandian hadn't officially opened the cards yet, and lived in another brothel It's really inappropriate, as for Ma Suo...
She was the eldest prince's mistress, so she had to greet her politely.
