Walking two streets east from the Qin Mansion, there is a large mansion near the boundary of the city, which is the mansion of Fan Yuzhi, the general of the Yan Kingdom.

Along the way, Li Jie kept thinking down. Jing Ruohan, who was leading the way beside him, also didn't make a sound, but unconsciously peeked at Li Jie's expression from time to time from the corner of his eye.

In Jing Ruohan's heart: Li Jie is her fellow villager and has known her since childhood. If you want to talk about the past, Jing Ruohan can't remember it clearly. But somehow, Jing Ruohan's subconscious knew that Li Jie was trustworthy.

When you come to the door of Fanfu, you will feel the grandeur of Fanfu. I don't know how much higher the pair of red lacquer gates are than the Qin Mansion, the two stone lions in front of the door are majestic and angry, and several teams of officers and soldiers outside the mansion are constantly patrolling.

Jing Ruohan stepped forward to report, and immediately a soldier guarding the door rushed into the mansion.

Li Jie, who was waiting outside the door, suddenly saw a strange person walking out of the side door of Fanfu.

From a distance, the man was covered in a black robe, looking out of place in the scorching sun.

Li Jie's heart jumped violently, and he felt that his gaze at the black-robed man suddenly became blurred, as if there was an inexplicable fog in the air. The black-robed man was also stunned, and suddenly stopped and turned his head to look at this side.

There was no face under the black robe, but the two eyes shot from the black shadow were like poisonous snakes, making Li Jie feel a slight tingling on his scalp.

The two looked at each other for less than half a second, and the black-robed man immediately lowered his head and walked away quickly.

Just as Li Jie was hesitating whether to catch up, he heard the soldiers guarding the door shouting: "General Fan has invited the two of you to enter the lobby of the mansion for a while." ”

"Okay." Jing Ruohan agreed, turned his head and greeted Li Jie: "Brother Li, let's go in." Seeing that Li Jie seemed to be preoccupied, he couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Brother Li, have you thought about what to say before you come to General Fan?" ”

Li Jie nodded. Listening to Jing Ruohan's worried instructions, he said: "This general's mansion is not comparable to the Qin Mansion, and even the prince Dan does not dare to offend at will in the territory of Yan Kingdom." You have to be cautious for a while, and you must not be reckless. ”

Li Jie looked at her and smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I'm naturally measured." ”

Jing Ruohan is also kind-hearted, she is afraid that Li Jie, who has just come here, will not know the power of this General Fan. This Fan Yu is now in charge of the soldiers and horses of the Yan Kingdom, and even the King of Yan has to give three points when he sees it. If anyone dares to be presumptuous in his mansion, even if he is killed on the spot, no one can control it.

In the lobby, under the blue military flag, Fan Yuduan, dressed in armor, sat on the general's chair, and two rows of soldiers stood with swords on his side, led by his lieutenant general.

General Fan was flipping through the military book with his hand in his hand, and saw the soldiers leading people into the hall. raised his head and said in a deep voice: "The person who came is Jing Shangqing's sister." ”

Jing Ruohan stepped forward and saluted, and said respectfully: "I am Jing Ruohan, I met the old general at the Prince Dan banquet, has General Fan ever remembered?" This is my brother's fellow villager Li Jie, and he is also a warrior who came to Yan Kingdom at the invitation of Prince Dan. ”

"Oh." General Fan glanced at it a few times, turned his head and ordered: "He is not only Yan Dan's guest, but also a guest of my mansion." Adjutant General Jin, give the two of you a seat. ”

"Yes!" Vice General Jin promised to do so, but saw Li Jie striding in front of Jing Ruohan, waving his hand and saying loudly: "No need." I am pressed for time and only have a few words to ask General Fan. As he spoke, Li Jie's face sank like water without compliment, as if the person sitting opposite him was just an ordinary person.

"Oh?" General Fan rarely dared to be disrespectful to him in the mansion, so he couldn't help but look at Li Jie a few more times, and said curiously: "You and I should have never seen each other, I don't know if you have anything to ask?" ”

Jing Ruohan pulled Li Jie's sleeve with some worry, but saw the latter smile slightly. He calmly glanced at the soldiers on both sides.

"I have three things I want to ask, and I hope General Fan can tell you the truth."

"Yes. You say. General Fan put down the military book in his hand and stared at Li Jie.

"First, I want to ask if General Fan knows about Qin Wuyang's death?"

As soon as Li Jie's words fell, Jing Ruohan behind him was suddenly startled. Just now, I was worried that Li Jie had recklessly bumped into General Fan, but I didn't expect this Li Jie to be so bold. The first sentence of his mouth was already close to the other party.

"Hmph." General Fan smiled coldly, shook his head, and said, "I don't know." The words were flat, but there was already anger in his eyes. This Li Jie kid dared to be presumptuous in his general's mansion, no matter what he said, he would definitely be severely punished afterwards.

"Prince Dan invited Jing Ke to assassinate Qin, and invited Qin Wuyang to go with him. Now that Qin Wuyang is dead, this assassination of Qin may be stopped! The second thing I want to ask General Fan is: Does this Qin Wuyang's death have anything to do with General Fan? ”

"Smack!" General Fan slapped his palm on the armrest. Hearing the sound of sizzling beside him, the soldiers instantly surrounded Li Jie and Jing Ruohan, and the blades in their hands were pointed at the two of them.

"Where did the kid dare to be so bold and presumptuous in the General's Mansion." Vice General Jin unsheathed his long sword, turned his head and asked General Fan: "General, please give an order." Let me wait and kill this kid immediately! ”

Jing Ruohan was angry in his heart, angry Li Jie didn't know how thick the sky was, obviously he said that he was measured before. As soon as these two sentences are said, it directly indicates that the other party is suspected of being a murderer. Is this still called being measured? scolded angrily in his heart, but his face did not change color. glared at Li Jie complainingly, but secretly slowly moved closer to Li Jie. If something happens in a while, no matter what, she naturally wants to keep Li Jie safe.

"Li Jie! I remember that you are a guest of Prince Dan, so I still treat you with courtesy when you come to visit. But you are not inferior, and bluntly say that I am the murderer of Qin Wuyang and the sinner who sabotaged the great cause of assassinating Qin. Who gave you the courage to speak so wildly?! General Fan glanced at Jing Ruohan a few times, and then turned his eyes to Li Jie: "If you don't give me a satisfactory explanation today, even if you are a guest of the Prince's Gate...... Hum! After I kill you, I will report this matter to Prince Dan. ”

Dare to be presumptuous in the General's Mansion, dare to suspect that the soldiers and horses of the Yan State are the ones who destroy the great cause of assassinating Qin, no less than pointing to the Buddha statue in front of the Buddha Hall and slandering the Buddha for having a bad history.

This reason is enough for General Fan to kill Li Jie and the others, and Prince Dan is still speechless.

Li Jie glanced at the blades on his side and stared at General Fan for a few moments. Suddenly, Lang laughed: "Hahaha." ”

At this time, Li Jie's laughter aroused General Fan's confusion and looked at the other party curiously. Suddenly, I saw that Li Jie's eyes were actually silver! Those eyes looked directly at General Fan, making the latter feel weak all over. It seems that in these eyes, there are no secrets in the world. General Fan, who had fought countless battles on the battlefield, actually felt an inexplicable panic for the first time.

"I have this third question. When General Fan met with the black-robed man tonight, didn't you mention Qin Wuyang's death? ”

After Li Jie finished speaking, he looked leisurely. His eyes had returned to normal, and he was fixed on General Fan's gaze.

In fact, Li Jie had already made up his mind before he came, and his seemingly reckless questioning was all well thought out.

First of all, this time limit is not enough, he does not have much time to go around the bend with the people of this era, and going straight to the point is the best solution.

Secondly, since he has analyzed that General Fan is the biggest suspect, why not take a gamble to force the other party with words, firstly, to see the other party's reaction, and secondly, to make the other party unable to avoid it. Besides, even if danger happens, he has a weapon that is ahead of his time: a pistol! No matter what, he can keep him out.

Most importantly, the first two questions bought him time. His real purpose was to investigate General Fan's fate through the "Fortune Exploration Eye". Sure enough, he saw it: General Fan met with the strange black-robed man in the mansion tonight, and he heard what General Fan said at that time......

I saw that General Fan's brows were wrinkled into the word "Chuan", and his face was covered with clouds. Suddenly, he got up, and saw that the deputy general Jin next to him seemed to have received an order, and then turned his head and drew his knife and pointed directly at Li Jie and shouted: "Kill this person!" ”

There was a crisp dragon groan, and Jing Ruohan had an extra long sword in his hand. Sticking to Li Jie, the sword in his hand pointed at the soldiers.

"Slow!"

A shout. Vice General Jin looked back puzzled: "General? ”

General Fan waved his hand and ordered in a deep voice: "Soldiers withdraw from the lobby and close the gate!" ”

Vice General Jin had doubts on his face, but he still followed the order, and withdrew his knife from the left and right to exit the lobby. I heard General Fan shout again: "Vice General Jin, you also go out!" ”

"Yes!" Vice General Jin frowned even more, exited the lobby, and turned to close the door.

At this time, only General Fan, Li Jie, and Jing Ruohan were left in the hall. General Fan stepped down the steps and stopped to look at Li Jie.

The air in the hall seemed to freeze, and Jing Ruohan nervously held the long sword in his hand.

"What is your relationship with the black-robed man?" General Fan asked suddenly.

Li Jie smiled: "It's not a friend." Then he asked, "When did he appear?" ”

General Fan recalled: "Seven days ago. ”

Jing Ruohan was shocked in his heart, this time coincided with the time of Qin Wuyang's death. She suddenly thought: If General Fan really killed Qin Wuyang, no wonder the Qin Mansion didn't dare to speak out. Who in this Yan Kingdom dares to accuse General Fan of being a murderer? If the Qin Mansion pursues it, it will only make the situation of his already declining family worse, and even the extinction of the clan is possible.

But Jing Ruohan still couldn't think of what reason General Fan had to kill a person who had nothing to do with him? She looked at Li Jie silently. She felt that Li Jie's confident appearance must have affirmed that General Fan was the murderer, and judging from his words just now and General Fan's reaction, Li Jie also had some of General Fan's handles.

The black-robed man? The black-robed man is the key! Jing Ruohan affirmed the answer in his heart.

"Ugh." Li Jie sighed inexplicably, and said something that made Jing Ruohan even more confused: "Some things are unavoidable. If it is really providential, why not go along with it. Death is heavier than Mount Tai, and some are lighter than feathers. If you can live for a hundred years, wouldn't it be more worthwhile than living? General Fan, I know that you have a deep hatred with that Qin, you are a generation of loyal and good generals, why should you be a thief? ”

General Fan's eyes flickered, staring, but silent.

Li Jie knew that Fan Yuzhi was a famous general in history, who was exterminated by the King of Qin in the Qin State and fled to the Yan State. In the matter of assassinating Qin, Fan Yuzhi also voluntarily cut off his head and sent it away. Now Fan Yuzhi has done this wrong thing, it is nothing more than because he was instigated by the black-robed man and aroused resentment in his heart, so he made this act that violated his heart.

This prince Dan once said that he wanted Fan Yu's head to be an honest thing in the upper hall, and no third party knew this secret. Fan Yuzhi also knew that there was still this condition after listening to what the black-robed man said. Under such deliberate provocation, Fan Yuqi felt that he had been loyal all his life, but he was deceived and trafficked, so he had the intention of killing. But after all, he had a good heart, so he only killed Qin Wuyang, in order to destroy and assassinate Qin.

Afterwards, Fan Yuzhi also repeatedly blamed himself, and once meditated at night and found that he was deeply guilty. Today, the black-robed man came to persuade him to get rid of Jing Ke, but he also sternly refused.

Li Jie also knew all this before he dared to do today's bold thing, and his words were to point out Fan Yu's expectations. Your death is the will of heaven and the righteousness of the people. But Li Jie is not good at persuading people, let alone persuading people to die? Whether he can really reverse Fan Yuzhi's thoughts at this time, Li Jie is not confident.

After being silent for a long time, General Fan looked up to the sky and sighed, his face seemed to be much older.

"Go back, and let this be the end of today's business. If I hear any gossip tomorrow, I will send troops to kill them! ”
