Fan Yanqiao sat in front of the dresser and looked down at the pure gold and diamond-encrusted pocket watch, and unconsciously stroked the word Chengxuan on the cover with one finger.

"Miss......" Bao Yun called to her softly, "It's not too early, let's freshen up and dress up early......

Fan Yanqiao was already sitting in front of the dresser and looking at the pocket watch for a long time, it was calculated that there were less than two hours before the dinner, if the young lady didn't change her clothes quickly, I was afraid that she would miss the dinner. Array of Asian skills.

Fan Yanqiao glanced up at her, reached out and put the pocket watch on the dresser...... and asked as she got up, "Have you put the bath water away?" ”

Bao Yun hurriedly said: "It's been put away, and the temperature should be just right now......"

Fan Yanqiao nodded, turned around and walked into the bathroom.

When he came out of the shower, Fan Yanqiao was wearing a burgundy bathrobe, and while walking out, he wiped his hair and said, "Hasn't Da Shao come back yet?" ”

Before she finished her words, her eyes suddenly fell on the sofa in the living room, and she saw that Xue Shao had already changed into a straight military uniform, and was holding a book in her hand and was looking at her intently.

She was stunned for a moment when she saw him, but the next second she smiled softly: "Da Shao has already come back......"

Xue Shao closed the book, retracted his eyes and said calmly: "Change your clothes, although I don't take this puppet president in my eyes, it's always bad to go late......"

Fan Yanqiao glanced at him, slowly walked into the bedroom, sat in front of the dresser and tilted her head to wipe her hair.

It took more than half an hour, Fan Yanqiao finally put on her makeup plate and hair, Bao Yun carefully took a long cardboard box, opened the lid and took out the dark green velvet cheongsam inside, and helped Fan Yanqiao put it on.

Xue Shao was already waiting a little impatiently, he stood up and pushed the door to look at the dresser, but saw Fan Yanqiao bending over and reaching out to wear a pair of glass stockings, her fingers were slender, and when she rolled the stockings on her legs, she reflected the fiery red Kodan, which seemed to be more and more charming because of this move, and a few strands of curly long hair hung down at the base of her ears, swaying slightly between movements, which made Xue Shao's breathing short.

He took a deep breath, stared at Fan Yanqiao's side face and asked in a low voice, "Are you okay?" ”

Fan Yanqiao gently buttoned up the garter belt of the stockings, and then lowered the hem of the cheongsam and tidied it carefully, and then said slowly: "Okay...... Let's go......"

As she spoke, she took the black pouch with the studded diamonds and slowly stood up.

Xue Shao glanced at her from a distance, and frowned slightly: "Are you dressed up a little too much?" ”

Fan Yanqiao lowered his head and stroked the broken hair hanging down from his ears, and said with a low smile: "What's the matter?" I'm afraid that even if I dress up like this, I won't be able to attract Qin Yucheng, how can I say that I can dress up? ”

Xue Shao pursed his lips, and only after a while did he squint his eyes and said coldly, "Let's go......"

When Xue Shao's car drove to the welcome road in front of the presidential palace, the sky was completely dark, and the temperature in November was already a little low, but a large number of Chinese and foreign reporters gathered in front of the presidential palace, and there seemed to be important figures in front of them.

Fan Yanqiao looked through the car window, but saw a tall figure wearing a black tweed and walked in steadily.

"That's Qin Yucheng......" Xue Shao whispered beside her, with unconcealed contempt in his tone.

Fan Yanqiao's face suddenly became a little pale.

Her eyes were fixed on the tall and majestic figure, and she clenched her fists slightly.

"Everything has been arranged tonight, Zhou Jiazheng's wife Xu Su'e will take you close to Qin Yucheng, this time, if you can grasp it well, you will be able to get close to him, and then when I return to Fengtian the day after tomorrow, you can do it......" Xue Shao reached out and held Fan Yanqiao's hand in his palm, kneading it carefully.

Fan Yanqiao took a deep breath, turned his head to look at him, and asked word by word, "What if I can't assassinate him if I can't grasp it?" ”

Xue Shao raised his eyes and stared at her for a long time, Fang smiled lightly: "How is it possible?" Could it be that you went to Japan for five years, and you studied in vain? ”

Fan Yanqiao gritted his teeth, looked into his eyes and asked again: "Da Shao...... What should I do if I really can't assassinate him? Are you still letting me go back? ”

Xue Shao looked at her expressionlessly, and said lightly: "If you fail to assassinate him and are caught by him, it is okay if you don't reveal the truth, if you do, it will inevitably lead to a war between the northern and southern armies, I am not afraid, it's just a little more infamy, but do you want to see corpses all over the field and rivers of blood?" ”

Fan Yanqiao's chest hurt violently, she clenched her fists hard, and twisted her head out of the window.

What he said meant was that it was done, she took her pocket watch to Mao'er Hutong to find Zhao Xingzhi and asked him to arrange for her to return to Fengtian, and after she went back, she could marry Xue Shao. When she fails, she must keep her mouth shut, and she cannot say anything about her motives.

And her own life and death have nothing to do with Xue Shao.

She stared at the flickering lights outside the window, gritted her teeth and said, "Okay." ”

If she was gone, she knew that Xue Shao would definitely make plans for her mother's affairs.

Xue Shao stared at her side face, half loud, and said softly: "Get out of the car......"

As soon as the car door opened, the camera suddenly turned the lens on, a noisy voice, and the flash almost shook Fan Yanqiao's eyes.

She lowered her head slightly, adjusted for a while, and then raised her head with an indifferent smile and gestured to the Chinese and foreign reporters in front of her.

Xue Shao glanced down at her, Fan Yanqiao took his arm around him, and the two walked into the brightly lit hall together.

As soon as he entered the hall, Zhou Jiazheng came over with his wife Xu Su'e.

Zhou Jiazheng greeted Xue Shao with a smile on his face, then turned his head to look at Fan Yanqiao and said, "Miss Fan is really bright and moving tonight......

Fan Yanqiao smiled, looked down at Xu Su'e and asked, "Is this a sister-in-law?" ”

Zhou Jiazheng said with a smile: "It's the ...... of Neiko"

"Mrs. Zhou is a good ......"

Xu Su'e was full of smiles: "Hello Miss Fan, when I went home in the afternoon, I heard that you were mentioning you, saying that you are really rare and beautiful, I don't think it's the same thing when I hear it, but now I see it at first sight, and Da Shao is really a perfect match......

Fan Yanqiao's mouth said: "Where, Mrs. Zhou said and laughed...... but there was a cold look in his eyes.

After the two finished talking, the Zhou family was leading Xue Shao to meet the newly appointed president.

Fan Yanqiao took a glass of champagne, and while talking with Xu Su'e without a match, he swept Qin Yucheng and Xue Shao not far away with the corner of his eye, but he was secretly thinking in his heart, I don't know what these two people will say when they meet.

Xue Shao said when he was in the car that this new president is completely a puppet launched by Qin Yucheng and his strength, the two of them are equal to their own kings in the current situation, this president is just nominally good, in fact it is just to give the other party a concession, after all, in this situation, neither of them dares to move, Qin Yucheng and Xue Shao have the ambition to unify China, but the time is not ripe at the moment, so even if the two want to subdue each other, but due to the current situation, But he can only stick to one side and wait for the opportunity to move.

Although they are enemies who meet each other in the war, but now under the spotlight of Chinese and foreign reporters, the two have a rare conversation and laughter.

Qin Yucheng is thirty and seven this year, although he is not very good-looking, but he is also Zhou Zheng, a face in the shape of a national character, the eyebrows and eyes are vivid, but the eyes are too cold, although Xue Shao's expression is also cold, but he is a little arrogant, and Qin Yucheng's face has a solid and solemn look, even if he is talking and laughing, his face is also covered with a fearless calmness.

Fan Yanqiao looked at him carefully through the crowd, it was rumored that Qin Yucheng only had a married wife in his hometown Wuling, and there were no other women around him, for so many years, he only devoted himself to military affairs, but he didn't seem to care about the private affairs of his children, so the whole person also had an indescribable indifference.

Fan Yanqiao lowered his head and took a sip of wine, and said lightly: "Mrs. Zhou, I heard that Qin Overseer is not close to women, is there such a thing?" ”

When Xu Su'e heard this, she lowered her head and whispered in her ear: "The rumors are like this, then again, our family has been in officialdom for so many years, but we have really never heard the slightest rumor about his fragrance, so I ...... tonight."

As she spoke, she sighed softly, and Fan Yanqiao glanced at her, knowing that she was worried that even if she introduced her to Qin Yucheng, she might not be able to grasp this opportunity.

Fan Yanqiao smiled lightly and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, Mrs. Zhou, it is enough for you and Chief Zhou to fulfill this intention, and when you come to this point, the rest is my business......"

When Xu Su'e heard this, she hurriedly smiled: "Miss Fan, what are you talking about, we can contribute to Da Shao, and we should do it, if it weren't for Da Shao in the past few years, Jia Zheng, the cabinet chief, would have changed for a long time, and now Da Shao needs to take this step, so we naturally don't say a word to help her......

Fan Yanqiao couldn't help but laugh when she saw that her words had aroused her loyalty, indeed, if it weren't for Xue Shao's mercy, maybe Zhou Jiazheng would not have died two years ago, and he did a lot of work in those two years when Xue Shao had not yet stood firm, so once Xue Shao firmly grasped the Northern Army, the first step was to dispose of the people in the cabinet who had been contrary to him, and the reason why he left Zhou Jiazheng was entirely because he was quick and clever enough. Therefore, in order to balance the relationship between Xue Shao and Qin Yucheng in the cabinet, he kept him.

Now it seems that he was right.

Fan Yanqiao was secretly thinking in his heart about how to use the opportunity to approach Qin Yucheng tonight, when he suddenly heard the microphone blowing from the Zhou family in Taiwan.

Everyone in the hall suddenly stopped talking and looked at each other.

Zhou Jiazheng gave a speech with a smile, and then invited the temporarily appointed president.

Yang Shikai, who seemed to be fine, looked at Xue Shao and Qin Yucheng with an uncomfortable expression, and then stammered a few words and hurriedly retreated.

Zhou Jiazheng said with a smile: "Mr. President is a little unwell today, so it's okay, let's start early, tonight, we have a rare invitation to the popular star Miss Liao Mengni, and we will invite her to sing a song for us to celebrate our new president......"

As soon as his words fell, warm applause suddenly sounded, the lights dimmed, and the band on the stage instantly played the song "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night" that she never got tired of listening to.

Her heart trembled suddenly, and her thoughts were instantly pulled back to that winter night six years ago, when she had just learned embroidery with Xiaohuan, and embroidered with a handkerchief day and night, that night she sat on the sofa as usual and concentrated on embroidering the handkerchief, but Xue Shao pushed the door and walked in.

At that time, Xue Shao was still young and thin, but now he has grown into a majestic man, she looked at his back from afar, and the whole person suddenly became in a trance.

He stood in the front row, two lampposts joined in the middle of the stage with a prelude, and a woman with a beautiful face stood in front of the microphone coquettishly.

Xue Shao stared at her with blazing eyes, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The tactful and ethereal singing sounded, and everyone's eyes suddenly gathered, and no one in the audience was talking, all quietly listening to the singing voice of this woman named Liao Mengni.

This is obviously Fan Yanqiao's favorite song, but now he can't listen to half a word.

Xu Su'e stared at Liao Mengni on the stage and pursed her lips, leaned into Fan Yanqiao's ear and said: "This fox girl, I heard in Shanghai that Ba Qin Overseer Ba is very tight, but unfortunately Qin Overseer doesn't look down on it at all, and now he finally got such an opportunity, but he is coquettish......"

Fan Yanqiao couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart, Qin Dujun didn't like it, but he was already a little fascinated by Xue Shao's appearance, he only said that he would act in a play tonight, but at this time, even if Xue Shao really didn't have any thoughts about this woman in his heart, Fan Yanqiao's heart still felt that it was not a taste.

There was a sour feeling in her stomach, and the indescribable taste was a dull pain in her chest.

She took a deep breath and clenched her fist hard.

A graceful song came to an abrupt end, and the audience burst into warm applause.

Fan Yanqiao squinted his eyes and stood by the window with a glass of wine waiting quietly, sure enough, Liao Mengni bowed and was just about to step down, Xue Shao took a red rose from the waiter's hand and walked over with a smile.

Xu Su'e glanced at Fan Yanqiao and said in a low voice: "Miss, don't be angry, Dashao is just acting......"

Fan Yanqiao said expressionlessly: "What do I have to be angry about, who is he?" He is Xue Shao, the overseer of the nine provinces of the Northland, can I be angry with him? ”

When Xu Su'e heard Fan Yanqiao say this, she couldn't help but look up at her, and when she saw it, she couldn't help but be surprised, she stared at Fan Yanqiao's face and hurriedly asked, "Miss Fan, why is your face so ugly?" You...... What is wrong with you? ”

As soon as her words fell, she saw Fan Yanqiao suddenly raise her feet and walk in the direction of the stage.

Xu Su'e was shocked, and saw Fan Yanqiao walking towards Xue Shao and Liao Mengni who were talking and laughing step by step, and at that time, Liao Mengni's hand painted with fiery red Kodan was on Xue Shao's shoulder, listening to Xue Shao with a smile.

Xu Su'e screamed bitterly in her heart, originally it was just acting, but looking at Fan Yanqiao's appearance just now, she was obviously really angry, she thought in her heart that she must not make any mistakes, otherwise, Fan Yanqiao will mess up tonight's affairs, once Xue Shao is blamed, maybe it will involve her family's Lao Zhou, as soon as she thought of this, Xu Su'e was ready to go to the frame in advance.

Fan Yanqiao walked in front of Xue Shao, and without saying a word, he knocked Liao Mengni's hand off his shoulder.

Liao Mengni felt a pain in her hand, screamed in a low voice, and then instinctively retracted her hand and glared at Fan Yanqiao angrily: "What are you doing!" ”

Her coquettish voice provoked everyone's eyes to look at it at once, and the whole audience fell silent all of a sudden.

Fan Yanqiao looked at her coldly, and said word by word, "What are you doing?" Where do you put your hands? ”

Liao Mengni was about to speak, but Xue Shao looked at Fan Yanqiao with a cold face and said sharply, "What are you doing?" Is there still me in your eyes? ”

Fan Yanqiao took a deep breath and turned his head to look at Xue Shao: "I don't have you in my eyes?" Do you have me in your eyes! You hooked up with this woman in front of me! Xue Chengxuan! Where did you put me! ”

Xue Shao's face changed color suddenly, he looked at Fan Yanqiao with a cold face, his eyes instantly darkened, and he grabbed Fan Yanqiao's hand and dragged her aside.

Fan Yanqiao slapped his hand vigorously: "Let go!" You let me go! The surname is Xue! You let go! ”

When Xu Su'e saw this, she hurriedly walked over: "Xue Dujun! Overseer Xue! You stop the fire, Miss Fan is impulsive! Don't blame you! ”

As she spoke, she pulled Fan Yanqiao behind her, looked at Xue Shao and said with a smile, "Overseer! Miss Fan was not feeling well, so she was in a momentary irritability and did that kind of thing, and the Overseer should not blame ......"

Xue Shao endured his anger, stared down at Fan Yanqiao, and said coldly: "If you can't stay here, ask the driver to send you back to the hotel, so that you won't be able to see ...... here."

As soon as Fan Yanqiao heard this, she also became angry, she reached out and grabbed the wine glass on the table, looked at Xue Shao and said sharply: "I just can't see it!" What kind of thing is she! It's just a joke! You're not afraid of losing your identity and hooking up with her there! Xue Chengxuan! If you don't have a face, I still have a face! You're deceiving people too much! ”

After she finished speaking, she grabbed the wine glass and smashed it in the direction of Liao Mengni, Liao Mengni's face changed color, covered her face and jumped to the side, the glass was smashed into the air at once, fell to the floor, and shattered with a bang.

Xue Shao's face suddenly turned blue, he pulled Fan Yanqiao's body, gritted his teeth and said, "You are crazy!" ”

Fan Yanqiao's eyes turned red, he looked at him with a pale face, and said in a choked voice: "Yes, I'm crazy...... I must be crazy...... will like you......"

As soon as her words fell, Xue Shao was stunned for a moment.

He looked down at her, his face suddenly became confused, and it was only for a moment that he regained his ruthless complexion, he reached out and pushed Fan Yanqiao aside, and said to Xu Su'e: "She's crazy, take her to calm down, don't embarrass me here......"

When Xu Su'e heard this, she hurriedly pulled Fan Yanqiao and said, "Miss Fan, let's go, follow me to the second floor to rest, it's too noisy here...... Let's go......"

Fan Yanqiao gritted his teeth and glanced at Xue Shao, closed his eyes, turned around and followed Xu Su'e up to the second floor.

Just turned to the back of the screen on the second floor, Xu Su'e looked at Fan Yanqiao and said busily: "Oh, I said Miss Fan, you were too much just now, how can you treat the Overseer like that?" That's disrespectful! We're only talking about acting in one play, but if you look at you just now, it's too much...... It's too much...... Look at the Overseer's face just now......"

Fan Yanqiao lowered his head and gritted his teeth hard.

Turning the screen is a place for guests to rest, Xu Su'e pulled Fan Yanqiao to sit on the sofa, she looked around, and said to Fan Yanqiao in a low voice: "Qin Overseer lives in the guest room on the second floor, wait a minute, I estimate that Qin Overseer will definitely come up to rest, let's wait here slowly, as soon as he comes up, I will pretend to go down and get something, leave you here, and then you can act when you see the opportunity, try to attract him......"

She said as she looked around.

Fan Yanqiao closed his eyes and took a breath softly: "You go down now, I want to be quiet alone, as long as he comes up, I will never miss this opportunity...... You can rest assured...... You go down and tell Xue Shao that he can go first...... Don't wait for me to ......."

She had already made up her mind that she had to have a relationship with Qin Yucheng tonight, and she was really uncomfortable when she saw the scene between Xue Shao and Liao Mengni just now, so she didn't want to see Xue Shao even more, no matter if he and that woman were fake just now, or what, she was a little resentful of him in her heart.

When Xu Su'e heard Fan Yanqiao's words, her face hesitated: "But...... If I'm here, can I still help you...... Besides, you haven't seen him, but I'm still familiar with him, and when he sees me, he will definitely come over and say a few words......"

"It's okay, you can rest assured...... I'm here myself, it's more convenient to do things, you can rest assured, I'm a professionally trained person, and I'm better at doing this kind of thing than you think......" she smiled self-deprecatingly.

"If I had been the woman just now, I wouldn't have been as blunt as she was...... You go down and tell Xue Shao, please let him go first......"

As soon as Xu Su'e heard that Fan Yanqiao had already said this, it was not good to say anything more, she nodded, and said with an embarrassed face: "Okay, then I'll go down first, Qin Overseer Junzuo should come up in about an hour...... Then you can wait here yourself......"

Fan Yanqiao nodded.

Xu Su'e glanced at her again, and then turned around and went downstairs.

As soon as she walked on her front foot, Fan Yanqiao lowered her head and leaned on the sofa as if she had collapsed.

I don't know how long later, she heard the sound of footsteps downstairs, the footsteps were unusually calm and calm, her heart sank, she immediately sat up straight, reached out from her handbag and quickly smoked a cigarette, and put it on the corner of her mouth.
