One.

The spring breeze blew, blowing across the roof of the Beichen Hall of Yangri Palace, and blowing on the face of No. 13. The thirteenth felt that the sun was blocked, and he didn't even have to open his eyes, a fragrance hit, and he didn't have to guess, he knew that the eleventh was coming.

"Thirteen, why are you still basking in the sun here?"

"Eleventh sister, isn't your body too fragrant, didn't Boss Fan talk about you last time." Number Thirteen stretched and rolled over, "I just came back from the ruins, what's wrong with resting." ”

"You've come back from the Waste Hill, it's time to report the situation to Boss Fan." No. 11 said, "He's waiting for you in Changming Tower." ”

Number 13 yawned and said, "No hurry, no hurry, I'll sleep a little longer." ”

"You, just rely on your young age, Boss Fan spoils you, you have no rules, if you go late this time, he scolds you, I don't care about you." No. 11 smiled, charming and charming.

"Better leave me alone." Thirteen opened one eye and smiled, and Eleven feigned anger, glared at him, leaped forward, and disappeared from Thirteen's vision.

On the thirteenth, he went back to the waste hill mainly to spy on the news of the Xu family. There is a list on Baizhilu that has been unchanged for a long time, that is, the seven surnames of Chenguo. According to the status or influence of the family, the top seven clans are ranked, and the seventh place is the Xu family. There are many tributaries of the Linzhong River, the mother river of Chenguo, especially in the area of Yuzhou in the east of Chenguo, the tributaries are staggered, and the people of most of the city in Yuzhou have opened the back door of their homes and are facing the water of the Linzhong River. If there is water, there will be Cao Yun, if there is Cao Yun, there will be Cao Gang, there will be Cao Gang, there will be rivers and lakes, and there will be rivers and lakes, and there will be rules. When the Xu family had not yet declined, the Chen family was not a rich family in the world, but the Xu family was. The Xu family controlled Caoyun, not only the domestic waterways, but also the waterways to foreign countries.

The Xu family manages the various passes for the king of Chen, collects tariffs to make money, except for the country that has an alliance, the foreign tariffs of the Chen country are surprisingly high, but because the Chen country has a market, the countries still spare no effort to import or export goods to the Chen country, and the Xu family is prosperous. However, a few years ago, the party dispute case that shocked the government and the opposition and Lin Zhonghe was difficult, the Xu family was accused of being involved in the party dispute, privately raising tariffs, annexing the Cao Gang, King Ping was furious and seized the power of the Xu family, and the Xu family fell that year, and the power of customs duties was handed over to the household department.

Although the Xu family was defeated, because the ancestors hoarded a lot of money, they went back to their hometown to live in the waste hill, and they didn't hear any movement over the years. However, Ying Zhongqing fled back to Weiguo, how did he successfully pass the Zhennan Pass of Chen and Weiguo? Moreover, the Xu family is in the wasteland, which is close to the Weiguo, and there are many Weiguo people who fled to the wasteland to live in the wasteland during the Three Kingdoms Rebellion. The national teacher suspected that the Xu family might have defected.

Just because of a guess by the national teacher, the thirteenth was sent to the waste hill to find out the news. The road to the waste hill is far away, and the thirteenth rushed back day and night, slept for a while, and thought that he would be angry if he didn't go to Fan Mengqiu again, so he had to get up and go to Changming Tower.

Changming Building is the second tallest building in Yangri Palace after the Library Building, and it is the place where the secret guard works on weekdays, with a total of 14 floors. Fan Mengqiu's room is on the top floor, No. 13 flew directly to the top floor with light work, and jumped in through the window, Fan Mengqiu was reading a book, holding his cheek with one hand, No. 13 came in and there was a lot of movement, Fan Mengqiu frowned slightly: "It seems that you are not tired, and you can still come in through the window." ”

"It's because I'm tired that I can't climb the stairs." No. 13 said, "I've been to the waste hill, the Xu family has withered in recent years, and there are not many people left, and it doesn't look like they can rebel." ”

"What is the status of the Xu family in Waste Hill?"

"What else, the hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, the Xu family is naturally still a big family in the waste hill, the people of the waste hill are proud to be able to get close to the Xu family, the younger generation of the Xu family boys are from the white character generation, the girls are from the purple character generation, and most of the people of the Xu family have been scattered to foreign countries, it is estimated that they can't find the opportunity to be an official in Chen Kingdom, and they went to other countries to make a living, and the money has stayed." Thirteen said lazily, "Anyway, I don't see any signs of rebellion. ”

Fan Mengqiu put down the book, looked at the sun outside, and said, "Okay, you can go." ”

No. 13 Mi Qiyan looked at the book in Fan Mengqiu's hand, which was a collection of poems by the great poet Li Xing of Chenguo, and said with a smile: "Boss Fan, you are still angry as always." ”

Fan Mengqiu put the book away uncomfortably and said, "You talk a lot." As he spoke, he pretended to get up and hit Thirteen, but Thirteen nimbly dodged away, laughed and flew down the stairs. Fan Mengqiu muttered: "Martial arts have grown again, I don't know who I went to learn again." ”

On the thirteenth, when I arrived in the lobby of Changming Building, I saw that people were very together, which was very rare, because the secret guards were usually sent to do different tasks, and they were not often together, and since ancient times, the secret guards have forbidden two or several people to be too close, even if the partner goes on a mission, the partner is different every time. The secret guards all abandoned their past lives and lives, were given a number, a serial number, and lived a lonely life in Yangri Palace.

Those who can enter the secret guard are all top masters, and they were all ranked number one in the rivers and lakes back then, either because of the enemy, or because they were tired of the rivers and lakes, they entered the palace invisibly to work for King Chen. The only exception is the thirteenth.

No. 13 doesn't have his own name, he was picked up by Fan Mengqiu on the side of Wucheng Street, that winter, it snowed heavily in Chenguo, it was very cold, he was frozen to death, and Fan Mengqiu saw it. Fan Mengqiu was cold-faced, but he was easily soft-hearted, so he picked him up and went home. At that time, Fan Mengqiu had learned martial arts with Fan Cheng for a long time, and he also had some reputation in the rivers and lakes. The day he picked him up was the thirteenth, so he called him thirteen, and the thirteenth not only regarded him as a benefactor, but also regarded him as a brother, so he followed the surname Fan, and the people in Fan's mansion also called him Fan Thirteen.

Fan 13 grew up in Fan's mansion, and Fan Chengyue would also watch from the side when he taught Fan Mengqiu's martial arts, but because Fan Chengyue passed on the different martial arts paths of his three apprentices, Fan 13 learned from the east and learned from the west, and he knew a little about all three, but he was not refined, but it was enough to make a name for himself in the rivers and lakes.

Fan Chengyue became famous as a young man, not only proficient in swords, but also very finger power, is to be able to rank second in Chenguo, he accepted three apprentices, and they will all be famous figures in Chenguo in the future, originally Fan Chengyue did not plan to accept Sun Yun and Fan Mengqiu again, it was He Yunsheng who went to Fan's Mansion one day as a guest, saw Fan Mengqiu's skills, pestered to learn, knelt in the lobby of Fan's Mansion and refused to get up, Hou Ye's son-in-law, Fan Mengqiu had no choice, so he had to accept him, thinking about it perfunctory. Unexpectedly, I taught, and found that He Yunsheng had a very high understanding, Fan Chengyue taught him all his life's skills, which was better for him than Fan Mengqiu, I don't know how much He Yunsheng learned, in short, I basically didn't see him do it in the future, and he also took care of himself to amusement the world, and there was no ranking of him on the rivers and lakes, so many people didn't know that he was Fan Chengyu's closed disciple.

Two.

After Fan Chengyu died, Fan 13 entered the secret guard and went to the surname Fan, which was the 13th. It is the thirteen people who are secretly guarded, and Fan Mengqiu is the best for him.

The thirteenth settles and finds them playing dice. Looking closely, No. 2 looked indifferent and confident, while No. 7 in front of him was full of anxiety and nervousness. The thirteenth also came closer to see, Chen has the gambling god Qi Xing, and the second is good at gambling, it is said that the card skills are not under Qi Xing, I heard that the second is to avoid the enemy's secret guard, but I don't know what powerful enemy he recruited, you have to enter the secret guard to escape.

"Seventh brother, let's go." Number Two is at ease.

"You go first." Seven shook his head.

No. 13 leaned over and asked, "Tenth sister, what are they doing here?" ”

"The simplest than the size." Number Ten laughed, "It's just smaller than anyone's son." ”

As he was talking, the second number had been opened, and the thirteenth had been opened, and the five dice, one point each, were five. Seeing him like this, No. 7 said dejectedly: "I lost." No. 2 smiled: "At the end of the month, when you get married, your monthly money is mine, and the eldest brother is also here, and I heard what he just sweared." On the side, No. 1 was wiping his sword with No. 5 and nodded.

No. 10 clapped his hands and smiled: "The second brother has already won the seventh brother's January Lu, I said earlier that the seventh brother can't bet on the second brother, but you want to gamble." Otherwise, the next time you bet with him, he won't be able to kick you. ”

No. 7 also laughed when she said it: "It's the sweetest mouth of dozens of sisters, and it doesn't leak." ”

"Second brother, I'll also come to bet with you once." Number 13 itched and laughed.

No. 2 was already collecting the dice, and when he heard him say this, he also smiled: "Little Thirteen, I don't dare to bully you, if Boss Fan knows, he will definitely detain me." ”

"Let's just have a game, and it's bigger than the size, let's not bet more, just bet ten baht." As he spoke, the thirteenth went to his arms and took out ten baht, "I know this is too little compared to the bet between Seventh Brother and you, but it's better than nothing." ”

No. 2 raised his eyebrows: "Okay, I'll play a game with you." ”

"It's still smaller than anyone's." No. 13 smiled, "Second brother, I'll open it first." No. 13 said, slapped the table with one palm, and the five dice were shocked by him and flew up, No. 13 quickly slapped the first dice close to the ground, and then the second one was stacked on the first and slapped into the ground, so that five in a row were slapped into the ground, and No. 13 smiled: "Second brother, I am a little." ”

No. 10 first clapped his hands and applauded, then No. 11 and No. 7 also shouted, No. 1 and No. 5 put down their swords to look, and No. 12 also came over from the side to see, and everyone was amazed at the "little point" of No. 13.

No. 2 also clapped his hands and laughed: "Okay, you're a little, it's good, I can't be younger than you." ”

Thirteen grinned as well, and then Eight said, "Not necessarily. As soon as Nine said this, everyone's eyes went to him. At first glance, it seems that No. 9 is a handsome scholar, the smartest person in the secret guard, although in terms of martial arts No. 9 is weaker than the other twelve, but Fan Mengqiu likes to send him to do everything, because he is smart and can always do things without leakage.

"But I can't do this, I need the fourth child to come." No. 9 smiled shrewdly, leaned over and said something in No. Four's ear, No. 4 also smiled, but the two only laughed and didn't say anything, No. 10 said hurriedly: "Don't just laugh, but say." ”
