The heavy iron door was slowly pulled open, and there was no creaking sound from the mechanism, which had been oiled and maintained all the time, but this silent pressure made everyone in the Overwatch Council guarding outside the door feel nervous.
Fan Xian lowered his head slightly, his left eyelid twitched twice. He could feel the faint coldness coming from behind the iron gate. It seemed that the person who should be seventy or eighty years old, should only live on the yellow paper of history, after being imprisoned for twenty years, still exudes a The breath that secret probes should have.
The sound of the iron chain dragging on the stone road was a bit harsh, and the sound became louder and louder, which meant that the person inside was getting closer to the big iron gate.
Fan Xian raised his head, looked at the big iron gate calmly, and thought about how Chen Pingping led the black cavalry to raid thousands of miles during the Second Northern Expedition, and captured Xiao En, who had secretly returned to his hometown to attend the wedding, back to Northern Qi. , what kind of demeanor is that? But Chen Pingping also lost her legs because of this incident. This Xiao En is really a strong man.
After Xiao En was captured by Qing State, Qing State made another Northern Expedition. It was not until three Northern Expeditions that the mighty Northern Wei Dynasty was beaten to death, and finally split into countless small countries. The one who directly inherited the power and most of the territory of the Northern Wei Dynasty was the Warring Family of the Northern Wei Dynasty, who established the country as Qi.
This is the history of the Northern Qi Kingdom today. The Northern Wei Dynasty fell apart when the commander Zhan Qingfeng was demoted innocently. In the end, the Zhan family emerged suddenly from this mess. This world is really strange to say the least.
…
…
The spring sunshine gently passed through the tall trees outside the prison, and sprinkled on the iron door, branding mottled light marks on the door, and at the same time lightly imprinted on the old face, and the sound of the iron chain dragging the floor abruptly Stopped, an old sigh sounded.
Outside the iron gate, the four swordsmen from the Sixth Office of the Overwatch Council held the nooses tightly as if they were facing an enemy, and put them on the yoke board in the middle. There was a man in the yoke. His clothes were in a mess, his wrists and feet were all shackles made of fine steel, but the clothes on his body were extremely clean.
That old sigh came from the withered lips under this man's disheveled hair. After the sigh, the old man sighed quietly again: "It's been a long time since I saw the smell of sunshine."
This is naturally Xiao En who was imprisoned by Qing Guo for 20 years. Seeing him walk out of the sky prison, everyone in the Overwatch Council who was in charge of guarding around him became nervous for no reason, as if they could smell blood in the air. Fan Xian frowned slightly at that slightly sweet taste, feeling that this man's breath could really drive people crazy. Everyone clenched their waist knives tightly in their hands, or tightened the triggers of their crossbows with their fingers, aiming at the tall but stooped old man.
There was a muffled sound!
The former head of Division Seven, now the cloudy-eyed cell leader, stepped forward and hit Xiao En on the back with a stick for no reason!
Xiao En didn't seem to feel anything, and slowly turned his head to look at the former director of the Seventh Office of the Overwatch Council, exhaled lightly, and blown away the messy hair in front of him, revealing those cold and deep eyes, and the withered eyes. Lips, the servant said in a hoarse voice: "Old neighbor, we have lived together for twenty years, and I am leaving now, so you send me off like this?"
The former host of the Seventh Division slowly closed his eyes, lowered his hand holding the wooden stick, and seemed to be a little afraid of Xiao En's eyes. He took two deep breaths and said, "These are juniors, why do you provoke them? If this When the children accidentally killed you, I don't think you will be reconciled."
Sean blinked slowly, and glanced at the handsome young man in the crowd surrounding him.
Fan Xian found that the other party was looking at him, and forced himself to use his true energy to stabilize his mind, and responded with a slight smile.
Xiao En was a little surprised that such a young junior was so calm. He shook his head slightly and said to the jailer: "I'm leaving Qingguo, so you don't have to stay in the sky prison anymore. But I think you will definitely hope I die, otherwise I will always find a way for you to repay me for the twenty years of companionship."
The prison boss said with a blank expression, "I wish you a smooth journey, and never come back."
Xiao En hissed and laughed: "I will definitely come back again." He looked at the prison boss's face and said softly word by word: "No matter how much punishment you have given me, I will use the same punishment on your child. .”
The jailer closed his eyes tightly, knowing that if Xiao En could regain control of the dark forces in Northern Qi, and take revenge on himself, it would be extremely difficult for him to be able to protect his family.
Sean looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, the heavy iron chains on his body began to rattle, as if he was also afraid that this terrifying figure would soon be free.
Everyone in the Overwatch Council was extremely nervous, only Fan Xian listened to the resentment in the other party's laughter, besides being slightly nervous, he squinted his eyes, still very puzzled what the eldest princess was playing this game for.
…
…
The air outside the prison of the Overwatch Council was extremely tense, and it seemed that a bloody light was emanating from the man in the shackles.
At this moment, there was a creaking sound, and the ordinary, black wheelchair slowly approached the shackle.
Fei Jie was pushing the wheelchair, and Chen Pingping was sitting in the wheelchair.
The sound of the wheelchair rolling was not loud, but it was like a bell, which released everyone from their nervous emotions. Seeing the dean coming, everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the same time for no reason.
Facing Xiao En, I was nervous because I didn't know what this legendary character would do once he escaped from prison.
As soon as Chen Pingping came, everyone felt at ease, because all the officials of the Overwatch Council deeply believed that as long as Dean Chen was around, Xiao En would not be able to rebel.
Chen Pingping raised her head slowly, looked at the old acquaintance in the shackles, and said softly: "What are you laughing at?" There was a trace of disdain and a trace of amusement in the words.
The disheveled Xiao En looked at Chen Pingping in the wheelchair, and suddenly said, "I laugh at your legs, which were destroyed in my hands."
Chen Pingping smiled and shook her head: "I thought you were laughing at your miserable life. I have been imprisoned by me for twenty years. What else do you need to say? I am the winner and you are the loser. This is a fact that has long been doomed by history." , you can never change again."
Xiao En let out a roar, and his white hair fell back like a sword. In his rage, he took two steps forward, and the iron chain shook violently. , Under the clash of vigor, dust erupted before the big prison.
Chen Pingping was not nervous at all, looked at him with pity and said, "You are so old, why are you still so angry?"
Xiao En suddenly closed his eyes and stood facing the sky. After a long time, he opened his eyes and said coldly, "Chen Pingping, do you really dare to let me go back to the north?"
Chen Pingping said with a smile: "Go back and take care of your old age. Take care of yourself. Now that I'm old, I don't want to run so far to catch you."
Sean's voice was as sharp as a knife, and the old tone was like the rust on the knife, scratching everyone's ears: "My son died at your hand at the wedding, I don't think you will have any chance to catch him again. reply me."
Chen Pingping waved, and Fan Xian walked over with a smile on his face. The closer he got to Xiao En, the more he felt the natural coldness of the other party, but his expression remained unchanged.
"We are old, what else can you do? What if we want to catch you in the future..." Chen Pingping said with a smile: "Xiao En, his name is Fan Xian, he is my successor. I will go to the north and be accompanied by him all the way." , I think you will not be lonely."
Xiao En turned sideways slightly, and the heavy shackles collided with the iron chains on his hands and feet again. The old man stared at this young and handsome Overwatch Council official through the hair in front of his eyes, and did not speak for a long time. Only now did Fan Xian see clearly the lingering hatred in Xiao En's eyes.
Pushing the wheelchair, Fei Jie said slowly, "Lord Xiao En, I was the one who poisoned the wedding. Coincidentally, Fan Xian is my student."
Chen Pingping and Fei Jie smiled at the same time, Fan Xian smiled just right and said, "Senior Xiao En, so if there is anything to do in the future, I will naturally be here to accompany you."
Sean laughed twice, but there was no joy in the laughter, it was just cold and bloody. The biggest fiasco in his life was thanks to Chen Pingping and Fei Jie, but he never thought that the young man who escorted him back to the north on this trip would have such a deep relationship with them. He turned his head slightly to look at Fan Xian, and said word by word, "You are still too immature, you should pay more attention on the way."
Fan Xian bowed politely, "I will learn from my seniors along the way."
———————————
The fine grass beside the road is like the silk of jasper, and low spring branches hang in the sky on the side of the convoy. The silent convoy left the prison of the Overwatch Council and headed along Tianhe Avenue to Beicheng. After passing the defense, there was no one on the long street, only soldiers from various places were guarding, and some crossbowmen from the six places could be faintly seen in the distance, occupying the eaves of some buildings.
The side gate of the imperial city was closed, and the commander-in-chief Gong Dian looked indifferently at the train line on the long street in the distance, and suddenly said, "I admire Fan Xian very much."
The general beside him frowned and said, "My lord?"
The corner of Gong Dian's lips twitched slightly and said: "You have never dealt with Xiao En, so you don't know how dangerous this trip is. Fan Xian is now famous all over the world, and he has relatives and dignitaries. There is absolutely no need to go to Northern Qi, but this The kid actually has the guts to accept this errand... I really appreciate him."
…
…
Fan Xian sat in the first carriage and closed his eyes to rest his mind. The real mission had already left the capital yesterday, and his group and himself as the mission were dragged to the at last. Last night, he stopped the ridiculous idea of his family members coming to see him off, and focused all his attention on the mission of this trip.
Fan Xian seemed to be falling asleep following the ups and downs of the carriage, but he was thinking about many things in his mind. Apart from Xiao En, Si Lili's plan for the red sleeve move was also very tricky. Only now did he realize that the charming woman who had been together all night was in the carriage behind him, and he couldn't help being slightly startled.
At this moment, the carriage bumped, and he knew that the carriage had already run over the stone ridge at the north gate of Kyoto.
