Chapter 221: Raise Yourself to the Banquet

The official sedan chair walked quickly, and the sedan chair driver faithfully carried out Xiao Fan's orders.

Fang Xiaoru shouted in panic in the sedan chair: "Stop! Stop it! I'm not going! Xiao Fan, you bastard hurt me-stop! Let's discuss a more secure way, don't be impulsive......"

Xiao Fan stood in front of Xingyuan, let out a long sigh, turned his head to Cao Yi and said, "Lord Fang doesn't seem to want to eat this meal,...... Is he being polite to me? ”

Cao Yi said helplessly: "No one wants to eat this meal if they put it aside, Lord Fang's reaction is normal, - this is a severed head meal!" ”

Xiao Fan thought for a while and said, "Kindly invite him to eat, since he doesn't want to, forget it, let me go, and tell the sedan chair to stop." ”

Cao Yi waved his hand to stop the sedan chair, Fang Xiaoru staggered out of the sedan chair, grabbed Xiao Fan with a pale face and said gratefully: "I know, I didn't misread you, I haven't misjudged you, you are a good person......"

Xiao Fan looked at him expectantly: "You really don't want to go with me?" ”

"No, the old man stays behind."

"Do you want me to pack something for you?"

"Let's talk about it if you come back alive."

…………………… The guard of honor set off and went straight to the palace of King Yan.

Today's streets in Beiping seem to have a strange atmosphere.

As usual in the hustle and bustle, many people dressed in people's clothes looked nervous and mysterious gathered in groups, after the guard of honor, they quickly chased after them, went around into the alleys and houses, took a shortcut to catch up in front of the guard of honor, and reported the guard of honor to the palace of King Yan.

As if he didn't realize it, the Qincha honor guard walked forward all the way until he reached the gate of King Yan's mansion.

On the empty square, the guards of the Yanwang Mansion were lined with halberds, and they did not squint.

Monk Daoyan stood in the middle of the square, and when he saw Xiao Fan get off the sedan chair, he stepped forward with a kind face, and said with a smile: "Lord Qincha is here, and the poor monk is here to welcome Lord Xiao on the order of the prince......"

Xiao Fan also said with a happy face: "There is Master Lao, I can't afford to be so polite, the master and the prince are deeply affectionate, whoever comes to greet them is the same, the official is grateful......"

"Couple...... Are you in love? Dao Yan's smile stiffened a little.

Seeing his embarrassed expression, Xiao Fan suddenly showed a mysterious look, and asked in a low voice, "...... What about underground relations? ”

Dao Yan pursed his lips: "............"

Xiao Fan sighed: "Worldly prejudice is the most hateful......"

Daoyan: "............"

Xiao Fan smiled narrowly: "Come on!" There will come a day when the clouds will be cleared, and you will be happy. ”

Daoyan: "............"

He decided to go up and slash him himself after the axe man rushed out later, this bastard is so annoying!

With a straight face, Dao Yan stepped aside and said coldly: "Lord Xiao, the prince is waiting in the side hall of the mansion, please come in." ”

Xiao Fan smiled, and Cao Yi on the side took over an eagle with shiny and black feathers from the hands of the pro-army, its posture was arrogant and majestic, a pair of sharp eagle eyes looked around vigilantly, and the appearance was extraordinarily martial.

Dao Yan looked at the eagle and said in surprise: "My lord, this is ......"

Xiao Fan took the eagle from Cao Yi's hand, rested it on his left shoulder, and said with a smile: "The official is full of food and sleep in Beiping, full of sleep and food, he is really bored, he ordered someone to buy this eagle from the market yesterday and come back to raise it and play, boil it more, and then go back to Beijing to show off with the children of the meritorious princes, and the official is proficient in everything by walking the dog and playing eagle fighting crickets, so as to teach them to throw themselves to ......the ground."

Looking at Xiao Fan's triumphant appearance, Dao Yan secretly pursed his lips, young is young, no matter how capable he is, he still can't avoid the sound of dogs and horses in his bones, playing eagle and walking dogs,...... I hope that after today, you will still have the life to return to Beijing.

Stepping into the gate of the palace, Cao Yi followed, and the honor guard waited in front of the door.

Xiao Fan and Dao Yan walked side by side, and the two glanced at each other and showed an unpredictable smile at the same time.

"Master, it's not that I'm scaring you, I see that you have been a little blackened recently, and there is a dead air between your eyebrows, there is a bad omen!" Xiao Fan's tone was very sincere.

Dao Yan was surprised: "Such a coincidence? The poor monk saw that Lord Xiao's Yin Hall was also a little black, and the death qi seemed to have spread all over his body, which was a sign of great evil......"

Xiao Fan was stunned, and said with a calm face: "It's early in the morning, can't you say two nice words?" ”

"Ahh Lord Xiao forgave his sins, and the poor monk lost his words......" Dao Yan hurriedly apologized.

Xiao Fan glared at him fiercely, then turned his head and touched the eagle on his shoulder, and walked towards the side hall of the palace with Cao Yi without hurrying.

Dao Yan fell behind him, his panicked expression gradually became gloomy, and he stared at Xiao Fan's back, with a strong resentment in his eyes.

Cao Yi looked around vigilantly as he walked, and then sneered and whispered: "The Yanwang Mansion is very deserted today, and half of the people are gone, don't they get up on the three poles?" ”

Xiao Fan smiled indifferently: "The mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, we have now gone deep into the tiger's den, but I don't know when His Royal Highness King Yan will drop the cup, I am quite looking forward to it......"

Cao Yi chuckled and said, "I'm afraid that King Yan will be very disappointed today......"

Xiao Fan turned his head to look at Dao Yan, who was far away, and said in a low voice: "Has the news been sent to the soldiers' camp?" ”

"It's delivered, they've started their training outside the camp, and as soon as they get the news from us, they'll immediately go to the south gate of Beiping......

Xiao Fan said in a deep voice: "This is the case, we will go out of the city immediately, and at the same time send someone to pick up Lord Fang in Xingyuan, Miss Hongqiao and Master and Uncle together, Beiping can no longer stay, we will go back to Beijing!" ”

Cao Yi nodded and said: "Marquis Guo also received the news, and began to mobilize troops and horses outside the Daimyo's Mansion, and slowly pushed north, as long as we get out of Beiping City, everything will be safe." ”

Xiao Fan gritted his teeth and said: "If King Yan loses his mind and insists on killing me, you must try your best to tell Guo Ying, Marquis of Wuding, just say that I was killed by King Yan, and the vassal king killed Qincha, and it was a great rebellion!" Taking advantage of King Yan's haste to mobilize the army, he ordered Guo Ying to attack Beiping with all his strength and get rid of this scourge! Even if Lao Tzu dies, he will pull two cushions! ”

"Don't worry! If something happens to you, Lao Tzu will desperately turn Beiping upside down! ”

"How many daughters does King Yan have? Burn it all to me......"

"Good! …… Do you want King Yan and his wife? ”

"Don't, it's a mess."

The three of them walked to the side hall of the palace one after the other, Zhu Di was already standing in front of the palace to greet him, seeing Xiao Fan coming, Zhu Di smiled and strode forward.

"Lord Xiao is here in person, this king's humble house is shining, please inside! The feast has been prepared for a long time, and it is waiting for you, your honored guest. ”

Xiao Fan hurriedly said a few polite words with a humble face.

At the same time, Xiao Fan's eyes seemed to inadvertently patrol around, and found that the surroundings were quiet, there were only two palace maids standing in the hall, and the hall that should have been full of eunuchs was empty, and the green trees in the garden outside the hall could not even hear the sound of insects and cicadas, and there seemed to be a suffocating killing machine brewing in the calm.

Xiao Fan's heart was dark, but he chatted with Zhu Di without changing his face, until everyone walked into a mahogany table of eight immortals in the hall and sat down, and the unnutritious officialdom was temporarily over.

Cao Yi didn't sit down, just stood behind Xiao Fan with an expressionless face, holding the handle of the saber at his waist with one hand, faintly protecting Xiao Fan's body within the reach of his blade.

If Zhu Dihun didn't see it, he invited Xiao Fan to sit down in the guest seat, and he and Dao Yan sandwiched Xiao Fan in the middle.

As soon as the three of them sat down, several palace maids bowed their heads and respectfully brought a few dishes up.

Zhu Di said with a smile: "In the battle of Shanhaiguan, my Ming soldiers annihilated more than 40,000 enemies, which is a rare victory since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. What's even more admirable is that Lord Xiao and a weak man can make great achievements, which really makes the old and rough generals under the command of this king embarrassed, and the brave on the battlefield are respected, this king toasts Lord Xiao with a small wine on behalf of my Yan army soldiers, I have to say, Lord Xiao, you are a man! ”

Xiao Fan hurriedly took a cup and said with a smile: "The prince is polite, the credit of the lower official is not worth mentioning, to put it bluntly, it is just leading thousands of people to flee in panic, not to mention any credit, but the prince led the army to set up a killing array, annihilated most of the Tartars, and fought for a few years of frontier tranquility for my Ming Dynasty. ”

The two touched each other's wine glasses, and then looked at each other and smiled, on the surface, they were a pair of heroic confidants who cherished each other.

After drinking a glass of wine and saying a few polite words, Zhu Di became curious about the eagle on Xiao Fan's shoulder.

"Lord Xiao, when did you play with the eagle? It's rare for a weak person like you to play eagles......"

Xiao Fan suddenly showed a smug smile, and his expression was so frivolous that he was a child of the Eight Banners.

"Xiaguan has nothing to do after returning from Shanhaiguan, yesterday he ordered someone to go to the bazaar to buy this eagle, planning to refine some words, and after returning to Beijing, he will show the children of those meritorious princes, walking dogs and playing crickets is not a skill, and it is called majestic ......to take an eagle out."

Zhu Di's reaction was the same as Dao Yan's, nodding in agreement, but there was a bit of contempt in his eyes.

Dao Yan on the side looked at the eagle on Xiao Fan's shoulder, which was abnormal and majestic, and it was indeed a good sparrowhawk that was still in its infancy.

The eagle's wings are as fast as the wind, the eagle's claws are as sharp as a cone, looking at this arrogant sparrowhawk, the Daoyan monk can't help but feel fond, he carefully stretched out his hand, gently stroked the eagle's claws that were as hard as steel, and touched the sparrowhawk's head.

Xiao Fan was talking to Zhu Di without saying a word, and when he glanced out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Dao Yan kept teasing his eagle, Xiao Fan's brows furrowed.

"Master......"

Dao Yan Yileng: "What? ”

"Why are you playing badly, you have to play with my birds?"
