The official said coldly again: "We always knew that Zuixianju was your black market, but it didn't work, so we just stared at it. Who knew that you would be so bold as to do that kind of thing and want to run away after it's done? How can there be such a simple thing in the world?"
It was only after Si Lili and his party were caught on the border that they realized that their every move was under the secret observation of the Overwatch Council. They couldn't help feeling chills in their hearts, and felt terrified of Emperor Qing's secret service.
Seeing the official riding his horse and preparing to leave, Si Lili suddenly hissed, "You'd better kill me now! Otherwise, the lord in your court will definitely come to rescue me later!"
The official frowned and glanced at him, then suddenly said: "It should be that lord who will send someone to kill you." As soon as the words fell, the expected blocker appeared on the hillside in front of the prison car and the group. It's just that no one thought that the people blocking the way turned out to be horse thieves from the northern border of Qing Kingdom and the borders of Zhu Xiaoguo. Although there were only a few dozen people in number, they were furious, and facing the Overwatch Council team with only a dozen people, anyone with a discerning eye knew that Who will be the winner of this encounter.
Although there were not many horse thieves, they dared to appear only five hundred miles away from the capital, and the state army guarding the capital knew nothing about it. At this time, Si Lili's face had turned pale. Although she was not a smart person, she knew that if she fell into the hands of those people, she would definitely be silenced.
The official also didn't seem to have imagined that the senior member of the court was actually related to the horse thief on the frontier of Wu Xiao, and his expression seemed a little nervous. He approached the prison car and said, "Si Lili, it seems that you and I will die here. Now is the time, why don't you tell me who is the high official in the court colluding with Bei Qi? If some of my subordinates can escape, they will stab the court in the future, so as to avenge you and me. "
Si Lili's long eyelashes drooped slightly, thinking that he was about to die here, he felt like crying, and was about to speak, but suddenly thought of something strange, raised his head and said coldly: "Your Excellency is bluffing me again."
The official didn't seem to expect that Si Lili would see through his trick, and frowned imperceptibly.
Si Lili said sadly: "My lord should know what kind of business Lili is in. She has learned to read her face since she was a child. My lord's voice trembled slightly before, but his hand holding the prison cart was steady and relaxed. He was obviously not worried. Look. This sniping trip is something you have expected a long time ago."
"That's right." Only then did the official realize that this beautiful-haired woman had the potential to be a spy. He smiled and took a look and said, "If you can't even guess such a thing, the Overwatch Council isn't an Overwatch Council."
While the two were talking, dozens of horses had already charged down the small slope, their silent murderous aura rising to the sky. This kind of formation obviously should not be what a horse thief should have.
Around the prison car, the people from the Overwatch Council had already set up a semi-circular defensive circle, but the number of people was too small so it looked sparse and pitiful. But I don't know why, facing the ferocious Laiqi, these people's faces are full of awe, as if they have already disregarded life and death.
"Wait...!" The team leader clenched his right fist and stared coldly at Qi Liu who was getting closer. It reminds me of the foreign language I often heard in movies in my previous life: "HOLD".
The cavalry disguised as horse thieves was getting closer and closer, the leading officer suddenly took a step back, straightened his right arm, and shouted: "Get ready!" The officers and soldiers of the academy suddenly changed their formation and became a sudden force. What was even more frightening was that they took out a hard crossbow from nowhere, raised their eyes, and aimed at the cavalry in front of them!
The distance between the two sides was too close, and a strange light burst out in the eyes of the cavalry leader. As soon as he pulled the reins, he accelerated and circled a bend first, and went out from the front of the cavalry team. In such a high-speed march, he was able to accelerate suddenly and make a forcible turn , Riding skills can be seen very superb.
"Shoot!" Just as the leader of the cavalry pulled the horse's head, the official at the head of the Overwatch Council issued an order softly.
A burst of crossbow arrows shot out quickly, although they were not densely packed, but the force of the machine spring made these arrows fly extremely fast, making a hissing sound in the air, which sounded terrifying. With a few muffled grunts, the frontmost cavalrymen were hit by crossbow arrows and fell heavily to the ground. The cavalry behind were about to charge forward, but they didn't expect the Overwatch Council to use chain crossbows!
This chain crossbow is a weapon that only appeared in the world 20 years ago. Eight crossbow arrows can be held in the arrow box, and it is the most terrifying enemy of Qingqi. When the cavalry saw this situation and saw the crossbow arrows rushing towards them, they panicked and divided into two teams that bypassed the prison cart, ready to swallow it from the side.
Perhaps the effect would be better if they rushed over directly. However, there is no if in this world. When they circled around, several riders fell down with arrows. What was even more frightening was that they discovered that there was an ambush behind the hillside behind the prison cart!
…
…
Seeing the disguise of the ambushing crowd, the group of cavalry disguised as horse thieves suddenly lost their fighting spirit, and no longer cared about turning back to kill the woman on the prison cart, and fled in all directions.
Ambushing in the rear was a group of black-armored cavalry. It was the same team that Fan Xian saw when he opened his eyes in this world. When Chen Pingping, the director of the Overwatch Council, went to Beijing to handle the affairs of the academy, His Majesty the Emperor authorized him to personally Cavalry - black cavalry!
…
…
The black knights killed in silence, like a pack of wolves biting a flock of sheep, divided and surrounded the dozens of cavalry pretending to be bandits, and killed them all in a swift and messy manner.
"Keep alive! Keep alive!" Fei Jie, who was sitting on the side of the black horse's rear carriage, looked at this scene and cried out anxiously, "Don't kill them all."
The side curtain of the carriage was lifted by a skinny hand. The old man in the carriage looked at the situation around him and said coldly: "Fei Jie, if you really care about it, you will be in chaos. I'm afraid these little bastards don't even know who they are. Master, just keep the leader."
Fei Jie cursed: "Master Fan took little Fan Xian into the capital while you and I were away, and almost had an accident. How can I not be in a hurry?"
The old man snorted coldly, smoothed the woolen blanket on his lap, and taught him a lesson: "I'm visiting my hometown to visit my relatives, and you want to sneak out of Beijing by yourself, who can blame this?"
Ten years later, Fei Jie still had the same strange appearance, with gray hair and brown eyes, he frowned and said, "Who knows what Master Fan has in mind, Sir, you have to talk to Sinan Bo after you return to Beijing. "
This old man is naturally Chen Pingping, who holds the dark power in the world. He smiled and looked at the cavalry leader in the distance who seemed to be somewhat bewildered, and said lightly: "I naturally understand Fan Jian's thoughts. It's just his thoughts... What a nonsense! It’s really better not to have these things…” He repeated: “…It’s better not to.”
…
…
While the two were talking, the cavalry leader had already fled far away, and quickly turned into a small black dot in the distance. Why did Chen Pingping, who was visiting relatives in her hometown, appear outside the city of Cangzhou in the northern part of Qing Kingdom!
When he saw the black knight, he knew he was defeated. In the face of the sinister and vicious Mr. Chen, even his real master can only maintain the self-cultivation of resignation, let alone himself. He was the first to leave the formation, so the distance from the black cavalry was relatively far. The black cavalry seemed to be a little tired after a long journey. After chasing for two miles, seeing the distance getting farther and farther, they had no choice but to gather their horses and return to the camp.
"Has Zong Zhui gone?" Chen Pingping softly asked her followers.
He bent over and answered.
Just at this time, another gray horse galloped out of the woods in the distance, silently stalking the fleeing leader far away.
"That's not Zong Zhui." Fei Jie said with a frown.
Chen Pingping stared at the gray shadow, and suddenly laughed after a long time: "Since he let us see him, he must be one of us... He can maintain almost the same level as Zong Zhui. I remember that there was such a character in the courtyard many years ago."
"Wang Qinian?"
"Yes." Chen Pingping smiled: "It seems that the young man we were worried about has finally learned something."
※※※
After Wang Qinian was sent out of Beijing, it was inconvenient for Fan Xian to show his face due to his injury, and there were fewer bookstores he was planning to visit. It's just that he has already become a celebrity in Kyoto, especially those two poems that are completely inconsistent with his experience, which made him the center of controversy. Those who support him regard him as a poetic genius, while those who oppose him He is regarded as a representative figure who expresses sorrow with new words—it's just that no one knows that even these seven words were brought into this world by Fan Xian.
There are also rumors of plagiarism circulating in the dark, but "Wanli sad autumn is often a guest" is too dazzling, and no one dares to stand up and say that this poem was written by himself, so this kind of saying has not yet been brought to the surface. But Fan Xian knew that there must be a day, because the father of Guo Baokun whom he beat up was a minister of the Ministry of Rites, and the Guo family associates were all great figures in the literary world, and Fan Xian was not afraid to use the worst malice to infer...the so-called literati.
Because of the coexistence of controversy and good reputation, some scholars and talents who often participate in the poetry meeting of Prince Jing's Mansion will take the initiative to come to Fan's Mansion. Fan Xian only spoke a few words of praise.
Fan Xian always holds back his temper and greets him kindly, but he is very stingy with his comments on the other party's poems. After all, he has long been planning to leave the "literary world" and follow Zhang Xianliang's example to go into business. Furthermore, he didn't think he had the qualifications. He was only sixteen years old, and he only had the brains of the great sages of his previous life. It's ridiculous to plan to accept some ministers!
Compared with the title of the poem, it is the assassination incident on Niulan Street that can make him famous in Kyoto and really get the admiration of most people.
Some details of the case that can be known by the people all over the world gradually spread from the Overwatch Council—Fan Xian, as a victim, was not only able to save his own life in such a dangerous situation, but also fought back bravely, bringing The assassins of the Northern Qi Dynasty were beheaded before the palm of the sword, especially the one who killed an eighth-rank master-this fact made Fan Xian suddenly rise to a new level in the minds of the scholars in Kyoto, and no one said that he was the Fan family's black boxer. Yes, everyone is talking about the son of the Fan family who is capable of writing and martial arts, and bravely killed the assassins of the Northern Qi Dynasty.
"Wen can compose poetry in seven steps, and martial arts can kill people in seven steps. This is called Mr. Fan."
