Chapter 25: The Net and Chess
Nian Fan felt that there was an invisible net quietly enveloping his body.
But he didn't know anything about it.
I have just arrived in an unfamiliar imperial city.
All the way.
Nian Fan adheres to the principle of keeping a low profile and tries his best to find the whereabouts of his cheap father.
In the process, he didn't think he had offended anyone, let alone anyone who had nothing to do with provoking others.
But why does he still let people target him for no reason?
This is a question that Nian Fan can't figure out.
Some people are trying to blame themselves.
How could Nian Fan not be clear about such an obvious thing?
There must be something strange behind the three princes' slaughter of the whole mansion, but he unfortunately became a scapegoat for being deceived and designed by others.
It's not that he didn't think to explain.
The problem was that before he could explain, he was directly attacked mercilessly.
If it weren't for the fact that Nian Fan escaped in time.
I'm afraid it will be hit hard under that cold light.
There are quirks.
After escaping from King Zhao's mansion.
Nian Fan, who had mixed thoughts, felt suspicious after calming down.
He could perceive it.
The person who attacked him was completely with the intention of killing him, and he had no intention of leaving him alive!
Put yourself in your shoes.
If it was him, he found out that someone had murdered and slaughtered the Zhao Wangfu.
He will also strike, but he will choose to inflict heavy damage on the opponent rather than kill the opponent.
After all, everyone knows the importance of leaving a living mouth.
Therefore –
Nian Fan thought of a possibility.
What if the people who tried to kill themselves were in league with the people who designed to frame them?
If you really let the other party kill yourself.
At that time, the affairs of the three princes will become dead and unproven, so that the hidden truth behind it can be concealed.
Nian Fan didn't want to carry this black pot on his back in vain.
Come and think about it.
The only person he can prove his innocence seems to be Xia Mingyuan, the chief secretary of the Demon Suppression Division.
I have to say.
Xia Mingyuan's reputation is still very loud.
Praise for resourcefulness, good conduct, and selflessness is concentrated in one person.
These are all things that the world can see, not boast.
Therefore, it is reasonable that Nian Fan would choose to believe in Xia Mingyuan.
"Big bad guy, he doesn't seem to show up. ”
The changes that happened in the Three Princes' Mansion can't be hidden.
In less than three days, the entire imperial city was in an uproar.
The Imperial City Division and the Demon Town Division said to the outside world.
There are powerful evil cultivators who colluded with demons to murder the three princes.
But the specific situation was not explained.
So much so that various versions of rumors have been born in the imperial city.
What evil cultivators and demons conspired to subvert the Yuding Dynasty, what evil cultivators have been hidden in the Three Princes' Mansion for many years, what weird collective suicide incident some time ago was the handiwork of evil cultivators, and what Three Princes realized the true face of evil cultivators, and finally were wiped out.
Compared to the chaotic outside world.
Xia Fan's mansion was as calm as ever.
I don't know if it's influenced by Xia Fan's personality.
The servants employed in the mansion seldom talked about these matters in the house, and each of them went about their duties and was busy with the business at hand, and only after leaving the mansion did they have no scruples to discuss with others.
In the course of three days.
Nian Fan nested in the room and did not leave half a step.
Actually, his idea was very simple.
He just didn't want to involve Xia Fan.
In case it was known that Xia Fan knew that he was in the house, but he did not report the news.
At that time, it will inevitably bring a lot of trouble to Xia Fan, and even label him as an accomplice.
What's more, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are searching for my whereabouts.
He didn't dare to swagger out in the sun.
This shows that this child's heart is still good. ”
In this regard, Xia Fan seemed a little unimpressed.
"Then again, this little guy's luck is a bit unlucky. ”
After learning about Nian Fan and the third prince, the little flower cat couldn't help but gloat a little at the moment.
She had learned about Nian Fan's situation.
So she knew in her heart that Nian Fan had absolutely nothing to do with the slaughter of the three princes.
After all, Nian Fan has no grudge against the three princes, let alone any intersection.
How could he murder the Third Prince for no reason.
Besides.
With Nian Fan's strength alone.
She also didn't think that the other party could slaughter the Three Princes' Mansion Mangmen.
In other words.
He was wronged, and even more unfortunate is that he is now mistaken for a murderer.
This is clearly the result of a frame-up design.
"From an objective point of view, in fact, his bad luck is inseparable from me. ”
Xia Fan absentmindedly carved a piece of wood.
"What do you mean?"
The little flower cat was surprised.
He is probably very confused now, he didn't recruit anyone to provoke anyone, why did he let people frame him for no reason, but he ignored an important issue. ”
Xia Fan said lightly.
"My question. ”
"Your problem? What's your problem?"
The little flower cat is confused.
"There are many people who know me in this imperial city, such as the Demon Division, such as your demon clan, but before this kid didn't come to the imperial city, both the Demon Demon Division and your demon clan ignored my existence, until this kid came to the capital to find my whereabouts, and in this process, it undoubtedly alarmed the Demon Division and your demon clan......"
Xia Fan said unhurriedly.
In fact, there were already targets on him from that moment on, but he was still in the dark. ”
“...... I see. ”
The little flower cat couldn't help but be stunned when she heard it.
But she didn't continue to ask deeply, it was nothing more than that Xia Fan's words already contained too much information.
"Maybe he wouldn't have thought that his bad luck might be just the beginning......
on this.
The little flower cat couldn't help but sigh silently.
"The game between humans and demons is like a game of fighting between two chess players on a chessboard, often each other's layout on the chessboard is closely linked to each other, and now your demon clan obviously occupies an advantage and initiative in this chess game, and the human side will naturally try to find various ways to break the game. ”
Xia Fan stopped carving in his hand.
Blow gently.
With sawdust flying.
Suddenly, a wood carving resembling Nianfan was revealed.
"What a poor little fellow......"
The little flower cat naturally understood what Xia Fan meant.
Without realizing it.
Nian Fan has become a pawn in the game between humans and demons.
And the fate of the chess pieces is often sad.
"But the drama is getting more and more interesting......"
After speaking.
Xia Fan threw the wood carving in his hand that resembled Nian Fan casually.
I saw that the wood carving drew a beautiful parabola, and then landed on a square chessboard.
And on the chessboard.
It is full of wood carvings depicting different human faces.
What's even more bizarre is that these lifelike wood carvings seem to have their own consciousness, and there seems to be a pair of invisible hands constantly fiddling with them.
