The pace under his feet was fast, and Fan Qichang and Tian Yongliang hurriedly stepped forward.

It's just that before the two of them could get closer, the two brocade guards at the front of the line raised the embroidered spring knives in their hands horizontally, blocking the figures of the two of them!

"Stand back!"

A brocade-clothed guard scolded with a cold face.

Don't look at Fan Qichang and Tian Yongliang, the two of them are the two leaders of the Jin merchants, but the two of them don't have the courage to offend Jinyiwei, the son of heaven, on the bright side.

Even if it was just an ordinary brocade guard's scolding, the two of them could only bear it.

After being stopped, Fan Qichang and Tian Yongliang could only stand helplessly in the end.

As the host, Fan Qichang arched his hand and said in a loud voice: "The grass people have seen two hundred adults.

Why did the two adults come late at night?! This really makes the grass people feel deeply frightened?! ”

As soon as Fan Qichang's words fell, Chen Yun and Xu Yan, who had walked to the courtyard, sneered in unison.

"Didn't the head of the Fan family do something unfortunate, otherwise why would he be panicked?!"

Chen Yun pressed the embroidered spring knife on his waist with one hand, and looked at Fan Qichang with a smile and said.

Hearing this sound in his ears, Fan Qichang's heart was tight, but he still forcibly made a calm appearance.

Immediately, I saw Fan Qichang laughing again and said: "Lord Chen, you are laughing, the grass people are just a businessman, where can they do anything wrong?!" ”

"Not necessarily!"

Xu Yan, who was gently plucking the bowstring next to him, suddenly interjected.

After looking around in the courtyard, Xu Yan raised his hand and pointed to the headless pigeon in the courtyard and commanded: "In the past, a person took the little pigeon that the official shot down!" ”

"Yes, sir!"

The brocade guard who had previously scolded and blocked Fan Qichang and Tian Yongliang replied.

The brocade guard was the closest to the headless pigeon, so the errand naturally fell on his head.

Looking at the actions of the brocade guard, Fan Qichang and Tian Yongliang felt as if they had been pressed against a huge stone in their hearts, making the two of them fatter and fatter and short of breath.

When the brocade guard sent the headless pigeon to Xu Yan, Fan Qichang finally couldn't bear it anymore, and he forcibly calmed down his tone and said, "Lord Xu, what's so beautiful about this dead pigeon."

It is difficult for the two adults to visit the cold house, so the grass people will let people carry a table of good wine and food, and please be sure to appreciate the light! ”

Hearing Fan Qichang's words in his ears, Xu Yan glanced at him indifferently and coldly, and he said expressionlessly: "This dead pigeon is indeed nothing to look at, but I'm afraid that there is another mystery in this pigeon!" ”

While speaking, Xu Yan also groped around the dead pigeon.

Whether it was under the wings of the pigeon, or on the inside of the legs and feet, Xu Yan did not let go.

There is no doubt that the small bamboo tube tied to the inside of the pigeon's legs and feet was immediately noticed by Xu Yan.

A sneer quietly bloomed at the corner of his mouth, Xu Yan took the small bamboo tube off the dead pigeon, took it in his hand and turned it upside down, and asked in a deep voice: "Can the Fan family master explain what exactly is contained in this bamboo tube?!" ”

Although a layer of cold sweat had already broken out in his heart, the temperament cultivated by being in charge of the Fan family all year round still supported Fan Qichang not showing any timidity on the surface.

With a blank look on his face, Fan Qichang pretended to be innocent and said: "This dead pigeon seems to be a carrier pigeon cultivated by the Fan family of grass people."

However, the carrier pigeons of the Fan family of the grass people want to be raised and cared for by special people, how did this carrier pigeon appear here? Could it be that one of them sneaked out? ”

Speaking of this, Fan Qichang couldn't help but pause slightly, and then saw him continue to say in a pretended manner: "The left and right are just a carrier pigeon!"

This carrier pigeon can become the prey of your arrows, which is the honor of this carrier pigeon.

Let's not talk about this dead pigeon, but also ask Lord Xu and Lord Chen to talk about it in the hall, and the grass people will order people to prepare wine and food! ”

"No need!"

Who knew that Xu Yan didn't appreciate it at all, so he directly raised his hand and waved it to refuse.

You must know that the reason why Chen Yun and Xu Yan came to the Fan family late at night was because of Zhou Chen's secret order.

If the two of them agreed to Fan Qichang's banquet, what trouble would have happened afterwards.

Therefore, Xu Yan directly rejected Fan Qichang's invitation, and Chen Yun didn't even pay attention to him.

Ignoring the increasingly pale look on Fan Qichang's face, Xu Yan fiddled with the small bamboo tube casually.

Twisting the lid, Xu Yan directly pulled out a rolled paper from the small bamboo tube.

After the paving was opened, Xu Yan raised his head and looked indifferently at Fan Qichang and Tian Yongliang.

I only heard Xu Yan's voice say coldly: "Master Fan, can you explain to this official what this letter means?" ”

Fan Qichang pretended to be ignorant and asked, "What letter?" The sky is too dark, and the grass people can't see clearly what you are talking about, Master Xu! ”

"Then come closer and take a closer look!"

Xu Yan sneered and opened his mouth to say.

At this point, Fan Qichang had nothing to do, so he had to walk towards Xu Yan's side.

At this time, none of the brocade guards intercepted him with a horizontal sword like before.

Walking in front of Xu Yan, Fan Qichang pretended to observe the wordless letter in Xu Yan's hand, and he pretended to smile easily and said: "Back to Lord Xu, this should be the negligence of the family when they were packing up the carrier pigeon, and put the blank paper in the letterbox!"

These subordinates are a little sloppy in their work, and the grass people have also encountered this situation a few times, so there is nothing peculiar. ”

After Fan Qichang's words fell, Xu Yan, who originally looked indifferent, suddenly grinned, and said with an ordinary expression: "I think the head of the Fan family shouldn't know much about this official!"

The ancestors of this official have studied medicine for generations, but the official does not like medical skills, so he did not inherit the ancestral business.

However, for Benguan, who grew up next to the herb shelf since childhood, knowing the taste of medicine and making medicinal properties is just the simplest thing!

Although the potion used on this letter paper is almost colorless and odorless, it unfortunately still escapes the official's perception of the smell of medicine! ”
