Chapter 552: Assassination

Fan Jin's previous literary name was mainly supported by the script and his identity as a second-class heir, and other aspects were not obvious. I didn't memorize a few ancient poems, and even fewer could be used in the Ming Dynasty. That is, if a person's life is only as first seen, but it is not clear whether it is given to a man or a woman, he does not dare to use it indiscriminately, and then there is a bunch of bamboo branch words, because the year is not right, and he cannot take it out casually. is because of the elegance of poetry and songs, Fan Jin has always been clumsy.

It is true that the Son of Heaven values articles and does not need to talk about the Han and Tang Dynasties, but when he talks about poetry during the literary meeting, it is always higher than the forced style of talking about eight shares. Fan Jin has an official body and the support of a big tyrant like the Zhang family, no one dares to ask him for poetry, and he will not doubt his talent because of this, but some regrets in his heart are always inevitable.

When this piece is played, the regret of this and the doubts of a small number of people are all invisible. Even if everyone is not good at judging the level of music of the two, at least one thing can be determined that Fan Jin's attainments in music and rhythm are definitely not below those who play the piano.

It is not surprising that the Zhang family may have a female relative who specializes in learning music and rhythm, and even that the family may have a high-level musician, and there is a certain capable person in this field who has cultivated to a certain level. Fan Jin as a civil official, his foundation is still learning, poetry and music can only be regarded as a pastime, no matter what the person's character is, because the need to settle down and seek fame is destined for him to only use his spare time to practice music.

The fact that a person who practices music in his spare time can actually tie with a very clever musician has proven his attainment. What's more, there are a few rhythms in the field, and everyone can faintly feel that Fan Jin's skills seem to be above the piano man.

In the process of playing the piano and flute ensemble, the melody has changed several times, and at first the player does not seem to be convinced by Fan Jin, but after he responds, the sound of the piano changes sharply, and several difficult rhythmic adjustments are made. Quickly switching between several tones, it works freely under the control of her clever technique, without affecting the beauty. If Fan Jin's skills or reaction are not good, he will immediately be found to be incongruous in music, and he will lose a move. But Fan Jin was able to keep up in time every time, and he cooperated seamlessly with the sound of the piano, calmly, as if this piece had been arranged by the two of them a long time ago.

Fuqin people's qin music is no longer an inherent repertoire but a self-created on the spot, all relying on the party's amazing attainments in rhythm, the performance is very natural, Fan Jin also played on the spot to cooperate, the two complement each other, no one outside can hear that this is a temporary performance by the two. They all think that this is an ancient song that they don't know, and the two of them happen to know something, otherwise how could they cooperate so tacitly?

In the second half of the piece, the piano player had obviously taken away the fighting spirit and cooperated with Fan Jin wholeheartedly, and the effect of the performance became more and more brilliant. When the piano song ended, Fan Jin handed the bamboo flute back to Yan Hong, but the latter had not yet reacted, and the person was still intoxicated by the rhythm of Fang Cai. As soon as Xiao started, she blushed slightly and shook her head, "No...... I don't deserve to take this flute, according to the master of the courtyard, a song has come out, and within three years, I am afraid that no one in Datong will dare to claim to be able to play the piano and blow the flute. ”

Fan Jinxin said: At home, others blow it to me! smiled and said: "I passed the award, but I did it easily, and I didn't practice my skills for many days, I'm afraid I want to make connoisseurs laugh." However, the sound of this piano is melodious, and at first glance it is a master's handwriting, admiration and admiration. ”

The visitors gradually came back to their senses at this time, and there was a little more admiration in their eyes when they looked at Fan Jin, and the eyes of those women became even hotter. After all, the current atmosphere admires talented people, and Fan Jin's official body is enough to make them sought after, and adding the name of a talented person makes some women even more crazy.

Zhang Siduan said with a smile: "This is a temporary itch for the sister, and I can't help but ask for advice from the retreat, her little bit of Taoism can be used at home, and she will suffer a loss if she is paired with a master outside." This made him smile. ”

"Uncle is polite, the girl's piano skills are far above me, if you want to say that you will suffer, I will also suffer."

"Don't bully your uncle for not knowing the piano, in the past, if the little sister won, she would definitely play a song to entertain herself, and if the piano doesn't sound today, I know that she must have lost." deserves it, there is no one in her eyes on weekdays, thinking that it is difficult to find a soulmate in the world, and today it is a good thing to let her know that there are people outside the world. ”

The two were gossiping, and a girl in Tsing Yi walked out from behind the screen and muttered a few words in Zhang Siduan's ear. ”

Then he sighed, "It's my father who spoiled her." On weekdays, I talk at home, but this time I want to come to Datong, but my father not only does not stop him, but also arranges someone to escort us, so that we have nothing to say. Now I want the maid to hang the chessboard, saying that I want to invite the retreat to talk, and you say that this is simply a child's play. If the piano loses, it will be a chess competition, so will it be a calligraphy and painting competition next? Don't be surprised when you think back. Just make a few hands, just make her happy. ”

Fan Jin said with a smile: "The little nephew is a little trick, I'm afraid it's not an opponent." But the little nephew has never heard the teacher say that there is such a daughter in the house? ”

"Oh, it's no wonder that you don't know, it's my father who hasn't told the public. She was not the daughter of her father, but the daughter of an uncle of the same kind. The uncle was unlucky, and went to do business outside the mouth, only to encounter robbers, and the whole family was killed. When we arrived, we were the only ones left. At that time, she was only three years old, and the strongman finally had a trace of conscience and did not kill her with his own hands. Leave her there to fend for herself, and if we don't go, we're going to die. After bringing it home, I wanted to be raised by my sister-in-law, but my father was the most attached to her, and as soon as I met, I accepted her as a righteous daughter, and since then I have an extra lady in my Zhang family. My sister-in-law has long been out of the cabinet to become mothers, and even our daughters are older than this little aunt. My father regarded her like a palm bead, and he was reluctant to marry her until now, so he raised her to be such a naughty look. At the beginning, Zhu Qiansui wanted to marry her as a concubine, but his father didn't nod. ”

While the two were talking, the chessboard had been hung up, the man was playing chess outside, and Miss Zhang was behind the screen, running back and forth by the maid, playing chess according to the lady's instructions. In addition, a large chessboard was hung, and the chess pieces were placed on it and moved around so that the spectators could see clearly.

The two of them played not Go but chess, after all, it is a place of border stops, and people's temperament is more straightforward, compared to the vertical and horizontal nineteen paths, it is still clear that this kind of black and red fight in the Chu River and Han Realm can be seen. There are a few people who like chess in the audience, and they are just outside looking at the big chessboard and guessing whether they win or lose. Someone else whispered: "I heard that there are thirty-two beauties in the Kasaka family, and each of them has a wooden card on his head, corresponding to each chess piece on the chessboard. The children in the family always play with beauties as children, it is for the beauty of chess, if only one day they could open their eyes. ”

"What is beauty chess? I heard that this young lady of the Zhang family is a stunning beauty, and the ancient beauty can't compare to her. However, there are few people at home, and the little prince touched the nail that day. How did he run to Datong this time, and he wasn't afraid of the little prince robbing him? ”

Several people were talking, gossiping about the Zhang family, Fan Jin, or the little prince, and the war without gunpowder on the chessboard gradually became fierce. From the initial temptation to the formal competition, Miss Zhang's chess style is relatively stable, and she also cherishes her strength and saves every chess piece as much as possible. In contrast, Fan Jin's aggressiveness has become stronger, and he is actively attacking after holding black, especially after discovering that Miss Zhang cherishes the characteristics of chess pieces, she began to take the initiative to pursue the pawn. As a result, Miss Zhang could only defend step by step, and even restrained her hands and feet in order to protect the chess pieces, the rules were a little scattered, and she lost chess pieces one after another.

A few spectators shook their heads and said: "According to the master of the courtyard, this is not enough for a gentleman, the young lady loves to cherish the child's strength, so he will desperately redeem the child, this is too domineering, it is really not enough to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade." ”

There are also humanitarians: "That's right, after all, Fan Yiyuan came to the border to kill people." Don't look at his current cultural education, just think that he is a good man and a woman, don't forget that he carries Shang Fang's sword. How could that thing not be lighted? Such people can only do things if they have a murderous spirit, otherwise, the sword will become an ornament. This chess path is like a person on both sides, a bodhisattva meets a butcher, and this is what it looks like. Besides, he can't pity this Miss Zhang. ”

The fact is actually similar to what the spectators think, Fan Jin relies on the blessing of the system, and his chess strength can be called a national player. And the woman's attainments in chess are still insufficient compared to the qin song, and Fan Jin wants to win, she can win more gentlemanly and free. Or you can lose without a trace and satisfy the woman. But the problem is that he can't.

As soon as he knew the identity of this woman, Fan Jin felt a little bitter in his heart, even if he knew that the Zhang family would set himself up, he didn't expect to make such a bloody investment. The daughter of the Zhang family is not comparable to the plum blossom Lao Jiu, the latter can eat and vomit himself, or he can send money casually, but this woman is not easy to deal with.

If he had known the identity of the other party, he should have exposed a flaw just now and lost a move in the rhythm, and the other party might ignore him. Now that the chessboard is laid out, it is clear that the girl has become interested in herself. Whether it is his own ideas or the arrangements of the Zhang family, Fan Jin hopes to cut it off as soon as possible.

However, the image of a good astringent person has been created, and he can no longer be broken casually, so he has to use this almost scoundrel method to lower a wave of goodwill. Sure enough, after dozens of steps, the patience of the young lady of the Zhang family seemed to run out. After losing one cart and two horses in succession, the girl in Tsing Yi ran out and said that the young lady was not feeling well, and the game of chess was temporarily closed.

Zhang Siduan shook his head and smiled: "If you lose chess, you will close the game, and if you win, you will be pulled to play a few more games, this girl's temper, I have nothing to say." Don't pay attention to her, I'll go back and say a few words to her, how can anyone do this? ”

"It's okay, maybe Fan is bad at chess and upsets Miss, but in fact, I should apologize."

"That is not to be said, the chessboard is like a battlefield, especially chess is a duel between two armies, and in order to win on the battlefield, everything is done. The so-called one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, how can you care so much. The winner doesn't need to apologize to the loser, as long as he wins in the end, everything is right, just defend and do it. ”

Fan Jin looked at Zhang Siduan and saluted: "Thank you uncle for your advice, my little nephew has been taught." It's just that the little nephew asks more, what if on the battlefield, the people facing it are not idle people, but people with extremely special positions? ”

"There is no father and son on the battlefield, no matter who he is, he has to kill all the way. On the battlefield, you only look at whose knife is fast, how can you have so many scruples. It doesn't matter who he is, as long as he stands in the opponent's position, he just kills the past, and whoever lives in the end is the truth. After thinking about it a lot, there is only a dead end! ”

In the end, even Shang Jia has a bit of iron-blooded decisiveness, and Fan Jin found that his view of the Zhang family was still a bit one-sided. only saw his evil side, but ignored that the family also lived in a bitter cold place, and fought for their lives all the way to have today's net worth and property. Regardless of their respective positions, in terms of talent and ability, they must not be underestimated. Moreover, these people are acting as people, and they cannot be regarded simply as businessmen, although they have pens in their hands, but they have knives in their chests, once they are cornered, they must beware of these people fighting to the death.

Thinking of Zhu Naixuan from the Zhang family, he is also a vassal king living in the border area, and he can't be treated as King Ji when he met at the beginning. Their strategy is not as good as that of the Zhang family, but they are only afraid that they will be too much, and their past thoughts seem to be a little reckless now.

He thought so in his heart, at this time, the chessboard had been put away, and the woman behind the screen seemed to be really angry, and did not play or make other requests, for Fan Jin, this was a lot easier. The Wenhui went on for more than an hour, and under the influence of Fang Cai's song, many people became surprisingly good, and there were many excellent works at the Wenhui, which was actually a big event here. It's just that no one plays the instrument anymore, which makes the scene a little deserted.

At the end of the literary meeting, people walked out one after another, Fan Jin, as a patrolman, had to say goodbye to a cadre of people, and the affairs of the academy had to be explained, so it naturally fell to the end. When he walked out, there were only a few local scholars and the Zhang family's own family left. Everyone gathered around Fan Jin all the way to the door, and the change happened at this time.

An out-of-control carriage suddenly burst out and sped in the direction of Fan Jin. The car is full of fireworks, and after being taken to you, there is a crackling sound and flames flying. The animals pulling the cart were frightened and ran forward desperately, and the domestic slaves of the Zhang family were confused by the sudden change and did not know how to deal with it. Several people surrounded him, but then he was so burned by the fireworks that he couldn't stop screaming, and he dodged in all directions, and when he saw the carriage rushing towards Fan Jin, he only heard a loud shout, and then a vigorous figure jumped out from the side, stretched out his hand and grabbed the horse's bridle tightly.

The carriage galloped forward, straightening the man's arm in an instant, but the person pulling the horse did not intend to withdraw, but roared, the waist and horse sank, and the person shifted a few feet with the horse's running, but the speed of the carriage had also slowed down significantly. And the appearance of the cart puller, Fan Jin has also seen clearly, it is Wu Shishi's son, the Wu leopard who usually speaks little.

His legs were more than a foot deep in the ground, his clothes were bursting open, and his arms were covered in blood, but his arms were still stretched straight and clutched at the bridles. Seeing Fan Jin look over, he grinned, "Master...... It's okay. ”

But Fan Jin's expression was not relaxed, on the contrary, his figure jumped forward and shouted: "Be careful!" ”

As the words come out, changes regenerate.

The sound of a loose bowstring was accompanied by four wolf-tooth arrows shooting from the roof of a house near Zhang's mansion. The shooter used a strong bow in the army, and the arrows were like flying power to pierce armor and robes, and the four arrows were connected end to end, shooting at Fan Jin, Zhang Siduan, and Wu Leopard who pulled the cart.

Two of the arrows went straight to Fan Jin, and the other two had one each, with a tricky angle and a precise position. Fan Jin's movements were so fast that they obviously exceeded the expectations of the person who released the arrow and even Zhang Siduan and others, the sword hanging from his waist as an ornament was unsheathed, and the arrow that was shot at Zhang Siduan first flew from an arrow, and the person then slid forward like a swimming fish, his speed and body shape were more like a Jianghu man than a scholar. With another swing of his sword, an arrow shot at him was knocked away.

Wu Leopard's strength was used to control the galloping horse at this time, and he was not on guard, so he had no way to prevent the arrow that was shooting at him, so he could only watch the fatal arrow go straight to his throat.

Just as the cold light was about to penetrate his neck, a hand stretched out from the side grabbed the shaft of the arrow when it could no longer be fired, making the bow and arrow useless.

"You can't just have strength, you have to have brains, if you go to the battlefield like you, you will die early!"

Fan Jin threw down the arrow as he spoke, and the strange color on the arrow proved that the arrow was highly poisonous. And on Fan Jin's shoulder, an arrow was firmly nailed to it, and only the white tail feathers fluttered back and forth.
