Beiping Yanwang Mansion.

Zhu Di's face was terrifyingly calm, and his face twitched.

Dao Yan flipped through a delicate chess book casually, without raising his eyelids.

In the flower hall of the inner courtyard, the air was silent as if it had frozen.

After a long time, Zhu Di said coldly: "Guo Ying led 40,000 soldiers and horses to the north to advance a hundred miles, how could he have such courage to dare to provoke this king?" Is this what he meant, or is it the meaning of the imperial court? ”

Dao Yan's eyes stared at the chess game, and he said lightly: "In the thirty years since the founding of this dynasty, the military generals have been killed by the first emperor, and among the veterans of Conglong, only Geng Bingwen, Marquis of Changxing, and Guo Ying, Marquis of Wuding, are the only two people left, these two people are the most attentive and the most secure, otherwise the first emperor will not let them live to this day, if Guo Ying has not been instructed by the imperial court, how can he dare to mobilize troops and horses privately?" ”

Zhu Di's pupils suddenly shrank like the tip of a needle, and he said in a deep voice: "Is this what Zhu Yunwen meant?" He let Guo Ying lead the army north, and he has entered the territory of my Beiping, what does he mean? Do you want to encircle and suppress this king? ”

Dao Yan shook his head and smiled: "I'm afraid it may not be, it should be the Son of Heaven who gave Xiao Fan great power, Xiao Fan gave an order to Guo Ying in the name ......of the Qincha, and now Xiao Fan has arrived in Yanzhou Mansion in Shandong, and after Yanzhou is Jinan, and then Jinan is the boundary of Beiping."

Zhu Di sneered: "Xiao Fan's move is intended to demonstrate to this king? ”

Dao Yan smiled indifferently: "I'm afraid that saving my life is greater than demonstrating, so he told the prince with this move that the soldiers and horses of the imperial court are behind him, and if he has any accidents in Beiping, the imperial army will crush my Beiping realm......"

Zhu Di laughed: "This king has led the army for more than ten years, is it because he was frightened?" It's a joke! ”

There was a joke in his mouth, but Zhu Di's face had a somewhat unnatural look.

Since ancient times, the imperial court has represented orthodoxy and righteousness, and the 40,000 army seems to be not much, but with the name of "imperial court", Zhu Di felt pressure, and this invisible deterrent made Zhu Di have to throw a mouse bogey.

Dao Yan's gaze had moved from the chess game to Zhu Di's face, and he stared very intently, as if Zhu Di's face was painted with a wonderful chess hand.

After a long time, Dao Yan smiled lightly and said: "The prince doesn't have to worry, since ancient times, those who have become big things are not informal, if the prince really wants to get rid of Xiao Fan quickly, there are many ways, and the prince should understand that it is ......."

Zhu Di smiled and said: "Yes, blatantly killing Qincha, this king will never do such a stupid thing, maybe Lord Qincha is not satisfied with the water and soil of the northland, and it is not necessary to die halfway, and it has nothing to do with this king......

Dao Yan looked at Zhu Di deeply, and suddenly said, "Lord Wang, what if Qin Cha didn't die halfway?" If he dodges over, he still comes to Beiping Mansion to reward the vassal king on the order of the Son of Heaven, how will the prince deal with it? ”

Zhu Di thought for a while, frowned, and said, "What does Mr. mean ......"

"Lord Wang, the Son of Heaven's intention to cut the domain is imperative, and my Yan army is not fully prepared now, and the great cause must not be rushed, lost in a hurry, and the success will fall short! The poor monk thought that the prince should have a serious illness at this time......"

Zhu Di's eyes lit up: "The imperial court sent a messenger to appease the vassal king, with the intention of delaying, this king also pretended to be sick for a year and a half, and we all delayed for a while, after everything is ready, we will have a showdown on the battlefield in the future, Mr. Good idea!" …… However, what disease should this king have this time? ”

Dao Yan smiled mysteriously and said, "The prince will be from now on...... Lose your marbles. ”——

Heaven heard Xiao Fan's pious prayer, so he gave him a strong martial arts master.

Before the martial arts master landed, he was beaten down by Xiao Fan's slingshot skill, which is really a tragedy.

Xiao Fan held Tai Xu's head, his expression was both guilty and painful, Cao Yi stood not far away, his dark bearded face was flushed, and he held back a smile and endured it very hard.

At this moment, Taixu was lying on the ground, with a big bag bulging in the middle of his forehead, looking like a huge beauty mole, and his appearance was very weird.

"Master! I didn't mean to......" Xiao Fan kept shaking his empty head, and his tone was very guilty.

While feeling guilty, Xiao Fan couldn't help but admire the accuracy of his slingshot, how could he hit the sky when he was clearly aiming at the target? And it just hit the volley flying too void, if this stunt is used on the battlefield, if you want to take the head of the general in the millions of troops, where should you aim?

Taixu opened his eyes groggily under Xiao Fan's vigorous shaking, and then quickly closed them again, humming and moaning in his mouth: "Ah...... Lots of stars, and birds......"

Xiao Fan said sadly: "Master...... Everything is an illusion that can't scare you! ”

After moaning for a long time, Taixu finally came to his senses, grabbed Xiao Fan's hand with the big bag on his forehead, stared at him with burning eyes, and said weakly: "Tell me ......"

"Tell you what?"

"Why are you hitting so accurately? Are you already aiming at me, just wait for me to fly and then you knock me down......"

"Misunderstanding, Master, this is actually a very simple stroke of genius......

"Calamity, calamity......" is too vain and sad and sighs-

After a short rest, Taixu gradually eased his breath, except for the bag on his forehead, his consciousness had slowly returned to normal.

It was only at this time that Xiao Fan asked excitedly, "Master, why did you come to Yanzhou?" Aren't you alchemizing at Jingshi's house? …… By the way, Uncle Shi didn't come with you? ”

Taixu's lips twitched a few times, and just as he was about to speak, he heard a voice under the gazebo in the front yard of the official post saying slowly: "Amitayus Buddha...... The poor road is here. ”

Xiao Fan looked sideways, but saw Zhang Sanfeng, who was wearing a gray Taoist robe in the pavilion, sitting on a stone bench, with a sense of elegance like a fairy wind bone, smiling at them with a white beard.

Seeing Zhang Sanfeng's chic and calm appearance, and then seeing how miserable and depressed he was, he couldn't help but feel sad, and moaned like a whimper: "Senior brother, how did you get in?" ”

Zhang Sanfeng raised his hand and pointed to the gate of the official post, and said: "Of course, you came in through the gate, this is the normal way to visit......

Taixu convulsed a few times: "............"

Xiao Fan was overjoyed, hurriedly greeted him, and said, "Uncle Shi is also here, are you here to protect me when I go to Beiping?" Sure enough, the people of the division are reliable! ”

Zhang Sanfeng, who was immortal, laughed awkwardly when he heard this, and his smile was ugly.

Taixu's old face became ashamed, his eyes rolled a few times, avoiding the topic, and affectionately hooked Xiao Fan's shoulders and walked towards the inner courtyard.

"Apprentice, I haven't seen you for a long time, and today I found that your Yin Hall is a little dark, and the poor road pinched your fingers, you have been angry recently, and there is a bad omen......"

“…………”——

The arrival of Taixu and Zhang Sanfeng can be regarded as buying an insurance for Xiao Fan's surname. With such two peerless masters of martial arts perversion by his side, if Zhu Di wants to send someone to assassinate him, I'm afraid it won't be so easy.

Xiao Fan said that he was so happy that his heart was full of joy, although the old liar was greedy for life and afraid of death, but on the issue of right and wrong, he still had a very principled position, and the apprentice went deep into the land of tigers and wolves to commit danger, and the master and uncle followed to protect him without saying a word. ——When he was deceived into the Wudang faction by Taixu, it seems that he made a right choice for his life.

When the master and uncle arrived, Xiao Fan naturally held a feast in the official post to pick up the wind and wash the dust for the two elders.

Fang Xiaoru, the great Confucian who followed Xiao Fan to Beiping today, also gave face and came out to accompany him in person.

Too empty to sit and not sit, eat or not, grasp the fat hooves in one hand, carry the wine jug in the other hand, open the bow left and right, and eat happily. Xiao Fan watched him eat and drink with a smile, in the past, he looked at Taixu with all kinds of unpleasant appearances, but now he is full of warmth for some reason.

During the banquet, Fang Xiaoru heard that Zhang Sanfeng was actually the real person of the first emperor's Qinfeng, he couldn't help but be surprised, and his expression was a little more respectful, and he talked with Zhang Sanfeng for a long time about the old village and the way of health preservation, and also shouted again and again that Zhang Sanfeng's name as an immortal is indeed worthy of its name, which has benefited him a lot.

As for the ugly looking too empty, Fang Xiaoru chose to ignore it, this great Confucian is quite disdainful, in addition to the quality problem, I am afraid there is an extra layer of identity reasons, the old party is only interested in Taoist priests who have been certified by the imperial court.

"A great joy in life, a foreign country meets an old acquaintance, and now it is said that a foreign country meets an elder, and it is even more joyful, master, uncle, apprentice two glasses, thank the two elders for traveling thousands of miles to protect the apprentice to learn from the West...... Cough, no, protect the apprentice into the land of the tiger and wolf in Beiping, the future is dangerous, the apprentice's surname is uncertain, the two elders have bothered a lot......" Xiao Fan stood up and toasted a glass of wine to the two.

Cao Yi also quickly stood up and had a drink as a companion.

Zhang Sanfeng smiled, drank the cup, and said with a blank expression after drinking: "Go to Beiping?" Who is going to Beiping? ”

Xiao Fan wiped his sweat and said: "Uncle Shi, let's go to Beiping, you two are partial to work, always by my side to protect me......"

Zhang Sanfeng's dazed expression was even worse, and he turned his head to Taixu and said, "Do we still want to protect him?" Didn't you say that before you came, didn't you say that when you see your apprentice, you will travel the world? ”

Taixu hurriedly coughed, and secretly pulled Zhang Sanfeng's sleeve.

"Apprentice, don't say anything, what is the righteousness of the teacher? Poor Dao and senior brother will definitely accompany you to Beiping here, and my senior brother will ensure that you are safe! ”

Xiao Fan said gratefully: "The master is really affectionate to the apprentice, and this love is remembered by the apprentice and will never be forgotten for the rest of his life!" ”

Taixu looked up to the sky and smiled: "Don't look at the poor Dao Ping said that he is greedy for life and afraid of death, but the poor Dao still has a heroic side, there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, you will slowly find that there are many shining points on the poor Dao in the future......"

"By the way, Master, when the apprentice left Beijing, please go out of the mountain to protect me, you said that you wanted to do alchemy, why didn't you agree to come out, why did you suddenly figure it out later, and you caught up so quickly?" Xiao Fan was really puzzled by this question.

"Cough, cough, cough, cough......" coughed as if he was out of breath, picked up the wine glass with a weak heart, and began to toast after looking for a direction randomly: "...... Come, drink and drink, don't get drunk and don't return......"

"Master......"

"What?"

"There are so many people at the table, you toast to the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, what do you mean?"

Taixu: "............"——

After the banquet was over, everyone took advantage of a little wine to take a walk in the back garden of the official post to enjoy the flowers.

Taixu didn't know what to say to Fang Xiaoru, Fang Xiaoru, who was originally quite unkind to Taixu, actually changed his attitude towards him, and pestered him very affectionately to ask questions and questions, Taixu looked unfathomable, no matter what Fang Xiaoru asked, he always replied "Heaven cannot be revealed, and it will only be leaked if you give money......"

Cao Yi and Xiao Fan walked at the end, and the two discussed the itinerary.

"Everything is ready, and you can enter Beiping Mansion tomorrow."

Xiao Fan sighed: "This time, Guo Ying, the Marquis of Wuding, lined up on the border of Beiping, and advanced nearly a hundred miles north in the name of martial arts, which can be regarded as adding a little courage to us, even if King Yan wants to kill me, he will definitely not dare to be too blatant." ”

"King Yan has always been very careful, every secret is not omitted, Qin Cha represents the Son of Heaven, unless he has made up his mind to rebel now, otherwise he will not dare to send an army to kill you openly."

Xiao Fan said with a smile: "Send the army to kill me clearly, he will not dare, now the 150,000 soldiers under the command of King Yan consume countless grains every day, and the grain and grass hoarded in each battalion are only enough for him to last for half a year, even if the Yan army is invincible in the world, it will definitely not be able to defeat the imperial army in half a year, King Yan is not a madman, many preparations are insufficient, he will not choose to rebel now, since he does not dare to rebel, my Qincha is relatively safe......"

Cao Yi said worriedly: "I'm afraid that he won't come, but he will send assassins to assassinate and poison ......."

Xiao Fan smiled, raised his eyes to look at Zhang Sanfeng and Taixu who were walking in front, and his smile was full of warmth and emotion: "...... The two elders chased me from thousands of miles away, and no matter how powerful the assassin was, he probably couldn't withstand the blows of the two peerless masters in the world, they ...... You're a good guy! The world has its own true feelings, and happiness is like a flower......"

Cao Yi scratched his head and muttered softly, "...... Why do I think the two old immortals are so strange? It seems that the way they came from is very wrong, maybe they have caused some trouble in the capital division......"

Xiao Fan glared at him unhappily and said, "Nonsense! The two elders came all the way to protect me, how can you doubt their intentions? ”

Cao Yi thought for a while and didn't understand, and finally waved his hand unconcernedly, and said with a smile: "Forget it, it doesn't matter what their intentions are, as long as the backyard is fine, there is no trouble, and there is no fire, we will be at ease when we go to Beiping......"

While the two were discussing, a brocade-clothed lieutenant hurriedly ran into the official post, and after saluting, handed Xiao Fan an urgent report with fire paint.

Xiao Fan flickered, his hand touched the emergency, and a sense of foreboding immediately arose in his heart.

Some eagerly tore open the cover, revealing only a piece of letterhead.

When Xiao Fan saw it, his face immediately became shocked and angry, and his body staggered uncontrollably.

Cao Yi was shocked, hurriedly supported him, and asked urgently, "What's wrong?" Is this an urgent report from the Kyoshi? What happened? ”

Xiao Fan couldn't stop trembling, and his lips trembled: "Jingshi...... Jingshi backyard ......"

"What's wrong with the backyard?"

"Backyard...... There was a fire! ”

Cao Yi's eyes flashed with a fierce color, and he rolled up his sleeves and said viciously: "But those sour and rotten Qingliu are making trouble again?" Lao Tzu will go back to Beijing to clean them up! ”

Xiao Fan glanced at him blankly, and said weakly: "No, it's the backyard...... There was a fire! ”

"What do you mean?"

"Thrush letter, the master said some time ago that he was refining at home, but he didn't match the medicine, and I don't know what the reaction was, and the alchemy furnace ...... The explosion blew up half of the west wing, and the other half caught fire, and the fire burned all the way to the inner courtyard bedroom......"

Cao Yi stared at Xiao Fan with straight eyes, and only after a while did he hold back a sentence from his throat: "Dog!" Sure enough, there was a fire in the backyard! …… Are your younger siblings okay? ”

Fortunately, the thrush was counting the silver in the treasury at the time, and the treasury was far away from the inner courtyard, so he escaped the catastrophe,...... Half of the house was burned down, and she cried very sadly in the letter......"

Cao Yi patted him on the shoulder sympathetically, and then said, "Hey, no, your master burned down your house, he didn't care about anything, patted his ass and ran out of Beijing?" ”

Xiao Fan nodded weakly.

Cao Yi finally couldn't help but scold: "Damn it! This old guy is the best! No wonder he took the initiative to protect you, it turned out that he was really in trouble......"

Xiao Fan's eyes were blank for a long time, and then he grabbed Cao Yi's arm and said in a crying voice: "Brother Cao, I want to go home...... My house was burned! ”

Cao Yi: "............"

Not far ahead, too vain still fooled Fang Xiaoru: "Old Fang...... Poor Dao to tell the truth, you have a bad omen! Look at your life, you are the appearance of the lonely star, the father and the mother, the brother and the wife...... Even your dog is dead, destined to cut off children and grandchildren, the eight characters are too hard, and in the end, even you will be killed by yourself, and there is a big murderer! In short, the catastrophe is inevitable! ”

Fang Xiaoru was shocked: "I don't know if the old immortal has a way to save him?" ”

"The secret of heaven must not be revealed...... Give me ten taels of silver, and I will reluctantly reveal it once. ”

"Ten taels of silver will reveal the heavenly machine? Why does the old man think you look like a liar? ”

"Humph! Believe it or not! When the catastrophe comes, don't blame Poor Dao for not telling you in advance...... Hey? Old Fang, it was fine just now, why is your Yin Hall getting darker and darker now? Old Fang, the calamity is coming soon, you have to be careful......"

…………………… Xiao Fan looked at Taixu's back, and there was a monstrous anger in his heart.

Lao bastard, if you burn down Lao Tzu's house, you will run, if it weren't for the Jinyi Guard's quick report, Lao Tzu would still be in the dark!

Fortunately, the thrush survived the catastrophe, otherwise the consequences would not have been unimaginable.

Xiao Fan was cold, he was afraid in his heart, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, looking at the back of Taixu, Xiao Fan's anger rose from his heart, and evil was born to the side of his guts.

With his backhand, he pulled out the slingshot inserted in the back of his waist, took a mud pill in his hand, took aim, and tightened his ......, "You are too empty, you old king!" If you burn my house, you will run, and come to me again to pretend to be righteous and thin, and you will die, old bastard! Look at the slingshot! Xiao Fan hissed and shouted.

Sou!

Mud pills shoot out, and the case is not a false shot!

Bang!

Fang Xiaoru, who was walking beside Taixu, was stunned, and then screamed "Ah-".

Covering his head with his hands and turning his head strongly, Fang Xiaoru looked at Xiao Fan, who was at a loss, and sighed resentfully: "It's really ...... Big murderer! ”

After finishing speaking, Fang Xiaoru fell to the ground softly and fainted.

He was too vain, and then shouted: "Look, you see, I said you have a bad omen, right? It was fulfilled! It was fulfilled! Doom, calamity! Hey, is eight taels of silver okay? I'll help you draw a peach talisman to solve the murder...... Lao Fang, wake up first! ”

Xiao Fan quickly put away the slingshot with an embarrassed face, and explained to Cao Yi with a sad face: "I...... Missed. ”

Cao Yi nodded very calmly: "Well, I can see it." ”
