Chapter 248: Lost and Found

Xiao Fan rode a horse, quickly walked out of the school field, and continued to pursue the three Zhu Gaochi brothers, at this moment he only had these three people in his eyes, and he was determined to stop them, but he didn't know that under the accidental shot of his slingshot, he had inexplicably become the martial champion of today's martial arts.

God sometimes likes to joke with the world, some of the jokes are malicious, and some of the jokes are well-intentioned.

However, after the dignified and honest Hou Ye, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Lord Xiao had the title of martial champion after having these two dazzling halos, and God made this joke, I'm afraid no one can tell whether it is good or malicious.

Xiao Fan didn't know that the school field watched by tens of thousands of people had set off a huge wave because of him, and he was still bent on chasing the three brothers of the Zhu family.

Not far ahead is the north gate of the Beijing Division, if they are allowed to go out of the North City Gate, there are many paths outside the Beijing Division, and it is more and more difficult to pursue, although the Jinyi Wei secret agents are all over the world, these three people may not be able to escape far out of the Beijing Division, but it is difficult to guarantee that there will be any mistakes in the middle, Xiao Fan can't afford to take this risk.

In the chaotic sound of horses' hooves, the north city gate is getting closer and closer, and the three brothers of the Zhu family, who fled in panic, looked at the ancient city gate in front of them, and their frightened faces also showed a look of hope, they also knew that as long as they went out of the city, it would be much easier to evade the pursuit of the Jinyi guard, if they were lucky, they might be able to reach the north bank of the Yangtze River without danger, as long as they crossed the Yangtze River, they would be completely safe.

Thinking of this, the three brothers hurriedly whipped the mule and horse under their crotch a few times, and the mule and horse were in pain, raised their hooves and accelerated forward.

Xiao Fan was in a hurry, turned his head and shouted at his subordinates behind him, "Who knows the shortcut?" Go around to the front and intercept them! ”

"My lord, the only straight road leading to the city gate is the nearest ......," the lieutenant behind him said anxiously.

"Fuck!" The gentle Jinyi Wei Xiao commander finally couldn't help but curse a foul word.

With a fierce glint in his eyes, Xiao Fan turned around and said viciously: "Who brought a crossbow?" Shoot them for me! ”

Everyone behind him shook their heads in unison.

Xiao Fan was so angry that his face turned red: "I don't even have the standard configuration when I go to work, except for scaring the people, I don't have the ability to fart!" Go back and I'll give you a rectification campaign! ”

Everyone was ashamed: "............"

It is only a few dozen zhang away from the north city gate, and seeing that the three brothers of the Zhu family are about to escape from Beijing, it will take a lot of trouble for Jinyi Wei to arrest them in the future. That's when the unexpected happened.

There are always some surprises in this world, such as this one.

When the three brothers of the Zhu family were about to rush into the passage of the city gate, an old man in a sloppy robe appeared in the middle of the passage of the city gate, he held the oil paper bag in one hand, and twisted a thin piece of meat from the paper bag in the other hand from time to time, put his head into his mouth and chewed, eating while walking, his expression was leisurely and intoxicated, and he did not realize that he was blocking the passage of other people's lives, and he did not find that the mules and horses of the three brothers of the Zhu family were getting closer and closer to him...... Zhu Gaoxu, who fled to the front, looked up at first glance, but saw an old Taoist priest blocking the middle of the road, and the mule and horse he was riding were only a few feet away from him. Get out of the way for me......"

As soon as the words fell, the old Taoist priest finally recovered from the intoxication of the food, and turned his head in amazement to see a pair of large, black and shiny ...... Horse eyes, close to him.

The old Taoist priest was also frightened, trembling all over, and said in a lost voice: "Shenma situation? ”

Bang!

"Ahh

The old Taoist priest was hit by a horse, and the three brothers of the Zhu family were not well, after this resistance, the mules and horses were frightened, they neighed one after another, stopped in place and circled, and refused to take another step no matter how they whipped.

As soon as the three brothers of the Zhu family showed a desperate expression, Xiao Fan and the fast horses of the brocade guards also arrived, and without saying a word, everyone stepped forward to surround the three of them, drew their knives out of their sheaths, pointed at the three of them and shouted: "Dismount quickly, if you dare to resist, kill on the spot!" ”

The three of them were frightened, Zhu Gaochi couldn't stop trembling with fat all over his body, turning up waves of flesh one after another, his pale lips snorted a few times, and finally he couldn't stand the murderous aura of the surrounding Jinyi guards, and his fat legs were teased, like a round ball of meat, and he got off the horse with difficulty, with Zhu Gaochi taking the lead, Zhu Gaochu and Zhu Gaosui didn't dare to resist, and got off the horse without saying a word.

Xiao Fan got off the horse and breathed a long sigh of relief, he could see the scene just now clearly, and he recognized at a glance that the unlucky old Taoist priest who was hit by the horse was his master, Taixu.

Why are all the unfortunate things in this world being touched by Taixu? From the day Xiao Fan met him, this old man seemed to be unlucky all the time, and the process of bad luck was very unbelievable, breaking through human imagination...... Xiao Fan felt that this might be related to the name of Taixu, and the name Taixu was full of gloom when he heard it, and it was difficult for the old man to survive for more than 130 years...... However, Xiao Fan still appreciated the unfortunate thing that Taixu encountered this time, and inadvertently solved a big trouble for him, this unlucky guy may really be his lucky star, Xiao Fan kindly decided not to persuade the master to change his name for the time being...... The three brothers of the Zhu family were trapped, Xiao Fan ignored them in relief, got off the horse and quickly ran to Taixu's side and squatted down, and said with pathos...... Master, are you alright? ”

Taixu lay on the ground, didn't even moan, heard Xiao Fan's shout, this ill-fated hundred-year-old unlucky man trembled a few times, then raised his head, his eyes glanced ahead blankly, and saw the oil paper bag that fell not far from him, Taixu's eyes lit up, stretched out his withered and trembling hand, and slowly crawled towards the oil paper bag with difficulty...... The moment his fingers were about to touch the paper bag, Xiao Fan grabbed his leg and dragged him back, and said eagerly: "Master...... You speak! Didn't hit a problem, did you? ”

"Woo-" Taixu whimpered, and the old eyes suddenly fell cloudy old tears, and his expression twisted into a ball of pain, and then he stretched out his hand again, squirming inch by inch towards the oiled paper bag...... Seeing that he was too empty and could still move, Xiao Fan put his heart at ease and said happily: "Master has done a great job this time!" What kind of neurosis is it that sacrifices his life and forgets to stop the mule and make great contributions to the court? -- You are an eternal idol in your heart. ”

He was too empty and deaf, and his hands were still trembling, and he crawled towards the oiled paper bag with difficulty...... Xiao Fan said quickly, grabbed Taixu's legs and dragged them back, leaving five unwilling and aggrieved scratches on the ground...... "Master, don't move...... You have solved a big trouble for the apprentice, the apprentice will play today, please ask the Son of Heaven to give you a real person, you must not let the master and uncle specialize in the front, and then the apprentice will give you a golden signboard, and you can walk sideways all over the world when you are old...... Master, do you have a feeling of happiness exploding? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€

Taixu felt that he was about to explode, but it was definitely not because of happiness...... Squirm again, squirm...... The oil-paper bag was getting closer and closer to him, and the dawn of victory appeared on Taixu's face...... Xiao Fan stood up, walked to the front of Taixu, snapped his foot, stepped on the oiled paper bag, and shattered all of Taixu's thoughts, Taixu's face suddenly turned gloomy...... "Master, the apprentice has always known that you are the best, when he met you in Jiangpu back then, the apprentice felt that he had caught a wild Ultraman, and that feeling of fullness and comfort overflowed more than 36,000 pores all over his body in an instant......"

Taixu raised his head and looked at Xiao Fan, tears had flowed into a river...... "Master, what's wrong with you?" ”

"What kind of evil has the poor road created! I just passed by to buy a grease hoof...... "Tai Xuan buried his face on the ground, crying silently.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€

…………………… When Xiao Fan's smiling face appeared in the eyes of the three brothers of the Zhu family, the faces of the three of them became more and more gray.

Xiao Fan looked at them with a smile, his gaze was like an old cat staring at the three little rats, and the three little rats trembled and lowered their heads.

I don't know how long it took, Xiao Fan smiled and said, "The three princes are in such a hurry to get out of the city, what do they want?" ”

The three of them looked at each other left and right, but none of them said anything.

After a long time, Zhu Gao smiled boldly: "Lord Xiao, we ...... We just ......"

After a long time, Zhu Gaochi really couldn't find a reason to explain what he did today, and his face was red with embarrassment.

Xiao Fanpi smiled and said: "You guys didn't even say hello and ran away, did you want to escape back to Beiping?" ”

The three of them were taken aback, and Zhu Gaochi hurriedly shook his hand and said, "No, no, how can we be so bold, Lord Xiao misunderstood......

Xiao Fan sneered: "It's not to flee back to Beiping, is it to go out of the city?" ”

The three were silent: "............"

Xiao Fan glanced at the three of them coldly, and after a long time, he suddenly smiled, hooked Zhu Gaochi's shoulder and walked back, and said softly: "Brother-in-law is really naughty, forget it this time, you won't be allowed to do this in the future......"

When the three of them heard this, they finally knew that their surnames had been saved, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Zhu Gaochi was hooked by Xiao Fan's shoulders, forced himself to laugh and nodded again and again.

After walking a few steps, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but say sincerely: "Brother-in-law,...... We're really out of town. ”

"Get out! Come less! ”

The three brothers of the Zhu family were politely sent back to the courtyard, and Xiao Fan sent hundreds of Jinyi captains to guard the courtyard tightly, and the faces of the three of them became more ugly than those of the dead, and they knew that it was impossible to return to Beiping in their lifetime.

The trouble was solved, Xiao Fan returned to the Yamen of the Zhenfu Division, he was in a good mood now, so good that he couldn't help but want to hum a little tune, he felt that he was a very capable person, and this ability was manifested in the ...... I'm lucky.

Those who want to achieve great things, in addition to having ability, must not lack luck.

Emperor Qin and Han Wu, Tang Dynasty and Song Ancestors, if they were born to walk and fall to death, choke to death by drinking water, and choke to death by eating, how could they create a great cause later?

It is true that the unlucky will never become a great thing.

So, luck is really a very important thing.

――Xiao Fan's luck seems to be very good today, really good.

As soon as he stepped into the threshold of the yamen, Xiao Fan found that there were thousands of households in the yamen, thousands of households gathered together, they didn't know what they were talking about, their faces were flushed, their eyes were shining with blood-red scorching light, and they gathered in groups of three or five, and the entire courtyard in front of the second hall of the yamen was chirping and noisy like the West Market.

Xiao Fan froze: "What's wrong with you?" Was the edict robbed or was the yamen thrown with dung? ”

When everyone saw Xiao Fan come in, the courtyard was silent for a moment, and finally they all rushed forward, one by one full of smiles, bowing down and saying congratulations, Xiao Fan looked at them with wide eyes, and was confused by everyone.

"Stop!" Xiao Fan shouted impatiently: "What the hell is going on?" Make it clear! Congratulations to me on what? ”

Before everyone could answer, they heard the firecrackers outside the yamen, the gongs and drums were noisy, and when they opened the middle gate of the yamen, they saw a sea of people outside, boiling against the sky, and the party of the imperial court, the eunuchs in the palace, and the leaders of all levels of Jinyiwei were all gathered outside the yamen.

A scholar dressed in a four-grade official uniform hurriedly entered the door with a roll of yellow silk, and in front of Xiao Fan, who was stunned, slowly unfolded the yellow silk, and said in a deep voice: "There is a will, Cheng Yi Hou, the commander of the Jinyi Guard makes Xiao Fan kneel and listen to the holy decreeβ€”β€”"

Xiao Fan hurriedly straightened his clothes, knelt down facing the proclamation official, and everyone around him also knelt down, holding his breath and not daring to make the slightest sound.

The official cleared his throat, slowly unfolded the yellow silk in his hand, and read: "Fengtian carries the emperor, and says: There is a Chengyi Marquis, Jinyi Wei commands Xiao Fan, friends and filial piety, respectful and cautious, good in the past, bow to the benevolence, civil and political diligence, Wu Yishangjia, Ming Hongwu 31 years of martial arts system test, with the body of a scholar, bravely won the first place in the first place in the martial arts, the all-round talent of civil and military, the pillar of the country, I am really comforted, I hereby take Qin En to point Xiao Fan as the first name of the martial arts head, the gold list is the first to occupy the Ao, the champion and the first, Xu Youjie praised the official three said, save the life of the Grace He Heavenly Family, Shine the doorway. Announce to the world, and make the salty envoy known. Chin this! ”

After the official finished reading the holy decree, he put on a smile on his face, held the holy decree respectfully in front of Xiao Fan, and said with a sneer: "Master Hou, oh, no, Zhuangyuan Gong, you can accept the decree......

Xiao Fan's face was inexplicable, the ancient texts in the holy decree were too obscure and profound, he didn't understand a word, he heard the official call Zhuangyuan Gong, Xiao Fan was startled, looked left and right, and said in amazement: "Situation...... Champion Gong? Who is the champion? ”

"Of course it's you, you, you're the champion of today's science and martial arts, when today's son is hand-picked and entitled, the holy decree is clear......"

Xiao Fan pointed to his nose with a backhand, his eyes were bigger than the copper bell, and he was so frightened that he even changed his tone: "I...... Am I the champion? Which is the champion? When did you become a man? ”

The official smiled with a wrinkled face, and said: "Don't be modest at this time, you are saying that you are showing your might on the school field today, and you will knock Wu Bangyan down with a slingshot, who else will you be this champion?" ”

Xiao Fan's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he recalled it carefully for a long time, and patiently explained: "I played with a slingshot today, but at that time, I just hit an idle person kneeling in the school yard......"

The official also patiently told him: "The idle man you hit in the school field is the martial arts eye of Jinke, and he was about to kneel to accept the Son of Heaven to appoint him as the champion, strictly speaking, he was not an idle person at that time, and people kneeling there have something to do......

Xiao Fan's face gradually turned blue: "............"
