Chapter 135: Murder never shows the sword
Before Yan Bingyun went out, he was called by Fan Xian. Fan Xian was silent for a moment, then asked in a low voice, "Is there any news of Hong Changqing and the Qi Nian group?"
After escaping from Dadong Mountain, Fan Xian rushed straight to Shanzhou, and the cronies on the white sailboat were all scattered in that pursuit. Although Yan Xiaoyi died under Fan Xian's heavy sniping in the end, Fan Xian has always been very worried about the life and death of Qingwa and those cronies and subordinates, since the rebels have the ability to seal Dadongshan, and the state and county sides also give a reward as the eldest princess wishes, so they naturally have a way to block the road back to Beijing on Dongshan Road.
Yan Bingyun's thin lips were tightly pursed, and after a while, he said, "There is no news." He glanced at Fan Xian and said that he had been out of the hospital for a month, and he did not know much about this information.
Fan Xian shook his head: "Don't comfort me, no news is bad news." ”
"Well, I'll admit that I still have access to information about the hospital. Yan Bingyun looked at him and said, "There is a very strange thing, the intelligence system on Dongshan Road, I don't just mean the courtyard, but all the intelligence feedback systems, it seems to be ineffective, and the latest news arrived three days ago." ”
Hearing this news, Fan Xian's heart tightened, sweat gradually oozed from the palms of his hands, and his mouth was a little dry, but his face was forced to pretend to be calm, and he said with a strong face: "Other places, I can't pay attention to it for the time being, let's get things done in Kyoto first." ”
Yan Bingyun dusted off the light shirt on his body, lowered his head and said, "You gave me the waist card, and if you give me the command of more than 1,000 people, do you want to give me a strategy?"
Fan Xian lowered his head and was silent for a while, and then said, "Do it according to the established policy." ”
Yan Bingyun glanced at him, frowned, and said, "A lot of people will die." ”
"I don't want to die myself. Fan Xian glanced back at him with a cold face and said, "I ask you to control the Thirteen City Gate Division, this is the key to the problem. ”
Yan Bingyun didn't show his loyalty, but just shook his head and said directly: "With the Supervision Yuan, there is no way to control the Thirteen City Gate Division. ”
"The Empress Dowager is in charge of the City Gate Division, so she will not allow the Qin family and the Ye family's army to enter Beijing. Fan Xian looked at Yan Bingyun and said, "The old man doesn't want Kyoto to fall into the flames of war, what we need to do is to help the palace control zhì." ”
The Thirteen Castle Gate Divisions are actually just a yamen, which governs the nine gates inside and outside Kyoto. If the eldest princess's infiltration of the Thirteen City Gate Divisions has been going on, I am afraid that the control of the City Gate Division has been taken away from the Queen Mother at this time.
Yan Bingyun shook his head: "Bet on one life, this is a very stupid plan." ”
Fan Xian smiled slightly and said, "There is no way, there is only the forbidden army at hand who dare not count on everything, but they dare not fight hard with the Qin family and the Ye family in Kyoto...... It is said that Ye has returned to Dingzhou, but who will believe it?"
"What should I do if the Thirteen City Gate Division can't hold it?" Yan Bingyun said with a slight mockery: "Regarding the method of cultivating cronies in the court, you and I are not the opponents of those older generation figures, and the eldest princess must have someone in the City Gate Division." ”
Fan Xian laughed self-deprecatingly, stood up, and patted Yan Bingyun on the shoulder: "Even if you can't stop the Qin family's army from entering Beijing, at least when the Qin family will arrive, how many people will arrive, and how to arrive, you can always find out in advance." ”
Yan Bingyun's shoulders were cold, and he looked at Fan Xian with slightly startled eyes.
Fan Xian looked at him calmly: "You said that the older generation likes to play this kind of betrayal and death drama the most...... I know there's someone under the old cripple...... is ready to play the dead room of the old Qin family. ”
Yan Bingyun smiled bitterly.
"If I'm not mistaken, your father is the chess piece that the dean has buried with Old Man Qin for decades. Fan Xian smiled and said: "In this way, what the Qin family's army wants to do is in the hands of you and me, and it should be feasible to strive for a perfect time difference." ”
Yan Bingyun sighed, bowed, and left the Sun Mansion in silence.
After ―――――――――――――――――――― Yan Bingyun left, Fan Xian began to sit in the boudoir of Miss Sun Feng'er and wrench his fingers, not counting how much silver he earned after being reborn, but calculating the time, calculating the power he could control in his hands, and what kind of fluctuations he could cause in Kyoto.
So before the army enters Beijing, he must launch a thunderous blow against the forces in the palace, Wan'er, Ning Cairen, Yi Guifei, and the third child who doesn't know what his mood is now, are the few people he must rescue.
As long as these people are rescued, he is not afraid of anything - with a heavy sniper guerrilla, Fan Xian can't imagine that anyone can help himself.
It's just that he still feels a little aggrieved, at least he can't have a frontal battlefield duel with the eldest princess, so he has no choice but to choose to retreat with one blow. As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but start shaking his head, thinking to himself If His Majesty knew that today's Qingguo would have fallen into such a situation, would he regret that he had strictly forbidden him to have any contact with the military back then?
There are seven roads in the world, and there is no way to use it for himself, Fan Xian smiled bitterly and was speechless.
However, Fan Xian was still full of confidence, he stood up, walked to the window and glanced at the lights outside the window that were gradually extinguishing, his face was calm, and he began to have some optimistic judgments about this matter in his heart, and his confidence in some elders became more and more sufficient.
"Little Fan-sama. Seeing that Yan Bingyun was gone, Miss Sun Ne who had been sitting quietly in her room walked out, at this time she was no longer as excited and frightened as before, and returned to the self-restraint and restraint that a lady should have, only occasionally looking at Fan Xian's eyes would reveal the complex feelings in her heart.
"Call me well. Fan Xian replied with a very gentle salute.
Sun Hao'er was full of emotion in her heart, and she also vaguely guessed what Lord Xiao Fan was discussing with the famous Xiao Yan Gongzi before, and couldn't help but be a little scared, and a little excited because she thought that she could help Lord Xiao Fan. She lowered her head and said softly: "Lord Xiao Fan, I'm just a daughter's family, and I don't know what happened in the court, but I ......"
She raised her face and looked at Fan Xian bravely: "But I believe in you, so what you need me to do, please speak up." ”
Fan Xian was silent for a moment, and said with a smile: "The court is now in charge of thieves, the king has no king, the minister is not a minister, the son is not a son, the country will not be a country, the official has thrown this body and bones, and he must also try to pull down those traitors and evil sons on the dragon chair in the palace." If the girl wants to help me, she doesn't need to do anything, she just needs to stay here for a few hours. ”
Sun Hao'er was slightly surprised, she didn't expect that Lord Xiao Fan asked so little, she was faintly disappointed, pursed her lips, plucked up her courage and said, "My lord, my father should be helpful to you." ”
Fan Xian smiled and didn't explain anything, in fact, now that Sun Mansion is in the middle, it has helped him a lot, at least from now on, he can easily contact his subordinates in Kyoto through Guò Yan Bingyun, and the beginning of the whole plan is from this young lady's boudoir.
"If there is a chance, I really need Miss to introduce Ling Zun, and there are many things that need the help of Master Sun. Fan Xian didn't dare to fully believe a girl's family, it could be said that the dignified Kyoto Prefecture Yin changed his position, but with Sun Hao'er as a bridge from it, just wait for the timing to change, when Fan Xian's side has the advantage, Sun Xian can't help but do something to add flowers, and Fan Xian will not refuse.
Sun Hao'er's face grew with shame, and after a while, she bit her lower lip and said, "Actually...... Feng'er is really unfilial, so she dares to invite Lord Xiaofan...... Please be forgiving to your father. ”
Sun Hao'er arrested Fan Xian at the behest of the Empress Dowager, but Sun Hao'er hid him in his boudoir, once Fan Xian really turned over, who knows how he will clean up the people who have harmed him? Sun Hao'er knows in his heart that the struggle for imperial power is so bloody, and his impulsive actions are only afraid that he will harm his father in the future, so there will be unfilial piety.
Fan Xian sighed, looked at this weak girl's family with pity, and couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart, and comforted: "Girl, don't worry, if the court is right, it will be guaranteed...... Ling Zun at least has no worries about life, and if he is willing to repent, then he will be a hero. ”
Sun Hao'er got his promise, happily wiped away the new tears, didn't think about whether the promises of the political characters would count, and deeply blessed Fan Xian: "Thank you, Lord Fan." ”
"I should thank the girl. Fan Xian solemnly bowed deeply to Sun Hao'er, and said gently: "Although An Zhi is not a good person, he is not a person who is easy to kill. ”
The two of them saluted each other, seemingly worshipping the sky and the earth, and felt that something was wrong, so they got up, Fan Xian turned around and looked at the lonely sky outside the window, Yin Liyue, and laughed at himself in his heart, how could it be a murderous day at night?
............ There are some mysterious shadows shuttling outside the Prince's Palace, but the guards in charge of guarding the palace will not take a look, because they know that those are the spies of the inner court, and maybe some of the eyes of the Privy Council, but everyone knows each other's existence, and no one will take the lead in provoking anything.
The prince is now in charge of the forbidden army, and as long as the military power is not reduced, all forces in Kyoto must maintain supreme respect and affection for this palace.
Since the news of His Majesty's assassination came out, the Empress Dowager closed the palace door and strictly suppressed the stupid movements of all parties, and the prince's mansion has become the focus of major forces in Kyoto. And the eldest prince's own protection of the princess's family in the palace is even stricter to a kind of jaw-dropping.
After all, he was the commander of the Western Expeditionary Army, and at this juncture, he was completely ruthless, and he actually transferred a forbidden army of 500 people to surround his palace, so that even if something happened in the palace, the cronies of the prince could maintain the safety of the palace until the last moment.
As for whether this is in line with the rules and whether it violates the Qing law, no one dares to say anything, because the largest army in Beijing is in the hands of the eldest prince, and no one will do anything if he wants to do this, with the acquiescence of the queen mother.
And those who are brave enough to speak...... has been arrested and imprisoned in the current rì Taiji Palace.
Qingguo now has no king, that is, whoever has more soldiers, who has a loud voice.
............ He and the second butler of the prince's mansion walked out of the door next to the gate, said a few words to the guards in a low voice, as if to express condolences, and then a person walked out of the guards, and arranged a carriage after going to the mansion.
Amid the sound of horses' hooves, a carriage painted with the king's mark came out of the darkness and stopped in front of the stone steps of the palace. The forbidden troops who were guarding the palace looked over, but there was no response.
Today, Kyoto naturally enforces a very strict curfew, except for those who hunt down Fan Xian in various places, the streets are basically empty, and according to theory, no one is allowed to travel late at night. But at this time, it was the second butler of the Great Prince's Mansion who was going to get into the carriage, and the forbidden army naturally pretended not to see it.
The second butler greeted the forbidden military academy officer gently, stood on the stone steps, squinted into the darkness of the street corner, knowing that in those darkness, he didn't know how many people were peeping on his whereabouts, but he wasn't worried about anything, he was going to see the strategist in the eldest princess's mansion and arrange the next actions of the two sides.
Yes, this second housekeeper is the leader of the secret spy sent by the little emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty to Kyoto, who secretly concealed the princess and sold Fan Xian's whereabouts in Sheep Onion Lane to the eldest princess.
The second housekeeper's brows gradually relaxed, he was under the emperor's order, so he didn't take the princess's anger in his eyes, there were many things that needed to be cut first, especially although the eldest prince sent a forbidden army here, but others were forced to stay in the palace, it was impossible to know what was going on in the palace, Fan Xian was betrayed by the people in his own palace.
He smiled and walked down the steps, ready to board the carriage.
The curtain of the carriage was slowly lifted with his right hand, and the pupils of the second butler shrank nervously, because in the carriage that should have been empty, there were actually several people in black who were looking at him indifferently!
Then the second butler felt a chill to the bone, following several holes in his body, invading his brain, and after the cold, there was endless pain.
He opened his mouth wide, but he couldn't shout a single byte, so he could only gasp hard, lowered his head, and finally saw the three iron drills that suddenly appeared on his body!
The cold iron chisel pierced into his body mercilessly, stringing him like an innocent chick waiting to be slaughtered, and the warm blood flowed outward along the bleeding groove on the iron chisel.
"Five!"
At this moment before he died, the second butler finally recognized the identity of the assassin, knowing that the other party was his peers who were extremely famous in the south, and resigned himself in despair.
He betrayed Fan Xian, so he should have known that he would face endless sniping from the Supervision Yuan, but he didn't expect that in just a few hours, how could the Supervision Yuan, which was like scattered sand, regain its strong operational power.
There was no time to think, the second butler weakly grasped the iron hammer on his chest with both hands, softened under the carriage, and fell to the ground with a bang, blood flowing, and there was no life.
............ The first to discover the assassination at the gate of the palace was of course the palace guards who were close at hand, but they were shocked by this bloody scene, and they didn't react for a while, only watching the second butler, who was trusted by the princess, be stabbed to death by three iron hammers, and fell in a pool of blood, convulsing constantly.
And the carriage had already started in a very fast time, ran over the body of the second butler, and rushed towards the night.
The spies who watched this scene in those dark corners couldn't help but be dumbfounded, they never thought that someone could stab the butler-like figure to death at the gate of the Prince's Mansion, which was heavily guarded. I don't know how those people hid in the palace's own carriage, and there was not a trace of it.
Naturally, these spies did not rush to round up the assassins in the carriage, but opened their eyes excitedly, watching this good scene, and guessed who made the first move, and after staying for a while, they should report something to their masters.
............ "Kill!"
After being slightly stunned, the forbidden army deployed outside the palace reacted as quickly as possible, shouted in unison, and stabbed the carriage with spears in hand.
After a few clicks, the horses pulling the horses began to scream, and they were slaughtered and knocked to the ground. The lethality of the Praetorian encirclement was terrifying, the spears were fired, the horses fell to the ground, and the chariot was stopped alive in the middle of the street.
At this time, the encirclement was not completed after all, there was a gap in the direction of the street, and the carriage was scattered into countless fragments with a bang, and then a large amount of smoke was blown out of the carriage, and the smoke should contain poisonous gas, and the forbidden troops around it were forced back a little, and coughed repeatedly.
The three assassins in the car turned into three black shadows, and under the cover of poisonous smoke, they broke through the gap and disappeared into the dark night of Kyoto before the forbidden army closed down.
Only one sentence was left with a cold proclamation.
"This is the end of betraying Grandpa Fan!"
............ At the gate of the palace, the poisonous smoke dissipated, the housekeeper died, the forbidden army was poisoned and treated, and there was a sad and tense scene, and everyone's hearts were still echoing the last words left by the assassin - yes, except for those terrible professional assassins in the supervision courtyard, who has the ability and who has the courage to dare to assassinate at the main entrance of the prince's mansion!
After His Majesty went, Dean Chen was poisoned by the master of Dongyi City, and Fan Tisi became a criminal of the imperial court, but in just a few hours, the supervision court that shocked the world in the name of Rì Li Yīn Sen suddenly became a plate of loose sand, completely losing that kind of magic.
And this dangerous and brave assassination, that announcement, finally told all the forces in Kyoto once again that Lord Xiao Fan is still alive!
Those who betrayed him, those who tried to kill, will slowly usher in the endless revenge of the Inspectorate, those who are immersed in the darkness, the venom, how long will this city be soaked? How many people will die?
―――――――――――――――――――― the chaos and panic outside the palace did not completely spread into the palace, and the palace that was heavily guarded by soldiers seemed extraordinarily calm. The princess sat in the slightly cool pavilion with an indifferent face, looked out the window with her eyes a little distracted, and said slowly: "Is this suing me in jǐng?"
"It's not. Yan Bingyun slowly stood up and said calmly, "This is the sincerity and message conveyed by Lord Tisi. ”
The princess turned her head and looked him in the eyes sternly.
Yan Bingyun was unmoved, and said calmly: "The princess is a princess, no longer the eldest princess of Northern Qi, a person like the second housekeeper, even if you die more, you must not feel distressed." ”
The princess's heart moved, knowing that what the other party said made sense, since she had married into Qingguo, according to Fan Xian's reminder in Sheep Onion Lane, she was already a native of Qingguo, and no matter how much she thought about the younger brother in the north, she was afraid that it would not be beneficial to her future.
"The message of Lord Tiss is clear. Yan Bingyun said calmly: "The people who died tonight will gradually confirm this - he has regained control of the Supervision Yuan." ”
The princess was silent for a moment, and then said, "I am very willing to cooperate with Lord Xiao Fan. She suddenly smiled slightly: "Of course, in addition to thanking Lord Xiao Fan for his determination to kill, I must also express my admiration, it is really good to kill." ”
There is no need for words, they understand each other, and the shout at the gate of the palace does not know how many people will be confused.
The princess suddenly opened her mouth and said solemnly: "But assassination is never the right way to solve the problem, I hope Lord Yan will be cautious." ”
She knew very well that Fan Xian was still being hunted down, and the strength of the Supervision Yuan could be gathered, and the power of yīn cold could be dispersed in such a short period of time in the middle of the night, all because of the ability of the official in front of her. The policy of assassinating Liwei may have been set by Fan Xian, but the specific executor was the one in front of him.
Yan Bingyun said softly: "The people in the courtyard have already dispersed, and our advantage is in the dark. ”
He bowed to the princess and said slowly, "In the words of Lord Tisi, we don't show our swords, we only kill people. As for the specific consequences, how the Queen Mother will react, this is a question that Lord Tisi needs to consider. ”
"How many people will die tonight?" the princess asked worriedly, if Fan Xian really set off a bloody storm in Kyoto, wouldn't he really worry about the queen mother's return with iron-blooded means?
Yan Bingyun paused slightly, the indifference between his eyebrows gradually turned into coldness, and said: "There is a commander in the Thirteen City Gate Division who should be dead, and a squire in the Criminal Department should also be dead, the princess doesn't need to worry, there are always many people who should die in such a big turmoil." ”
