The wind whistled past the ship, the waves drove the ship up and down, and although the lampstand attached to the wall of the ship did not fall to the ground, the flames in the lamp were sometimes large and sometimes small, and the faces of the two people in the cabin of the boat were uncertain.

There was a faint sound of communication outside, a personal soldier knocked on the door, reported a few words to Xu Maocai, and then hurried out of the cabin, tonight the people within a radius of twenty miles of Dadong Mountain fell into a tense and frightened atmosphere, whether they knew the truth or those who did not know the truth, they were very panicked.

"It's time to broaden your search. Xu Maocai lowered his voice and said, his expression was a little complicated, Fan Xian's words before directly overturned all his thoughts, if the emperor hadn't died...... But Xu Maocai didn't believe Fan Xian's inference, although he didn't know the eldest princess's overall plan, but looking at the current momentum, how could the emperor survive from the top of Dadong Mountain?

While he was thinking, Fan Xian watched him quietly from the side. The rebellion of the Jiaozhou sailors, it is obvious that Xu Maocai played a very important role, otherwise the eldest princess would not have let him come with a boat. And Fan Xian knew that Xu Maocai had never been loyal to the Qingguo court, and only had hatred and revenge, and the so-called rebellion was a matter of course...... It's just that he rebelled and wanted to help, but the object was himself.

Therefore, Xu Maocai did not follow Fan Xian's arrangement back then, and got in touch with Wu Gefei, the governor of Jiaozhou, or Hou Jichang in the first time, and did not pass on the information of the change of the Jiaozhou sailor to the Supervision Yuan, thus creating the desperate dilemma of Dadongshan being besieged.

This is a chess piece that Fan Xian buried very deep in the Jiaozhou Water Division, but because the chess piece has its own ideas, it has lost its original role.

But Fan Xian couldn't be angry, and even his anger was faint, because he knew this person's heart.

Xu Maocai saw that he couldn't convince Fan Xian, the expression on his face was a little gloomy, and he said after a while: "My original plan was to mobilize my subordinates to fight back at sea at the last moment, disrupt the encirclement of the sailors, forcibly land ashore, take you down the mountain, and then go to Kyoto." ”

Fan Xian's heart trembled, with the ships in Xu Maocai's hands, with a total of more than 1,000 soldiers, he wanted to land and take him down the mountain, presumably with the determination and courage to die.

"I didn't expect that you could actually ......" Xu Maocai shook his head and sighed, a trace of awe couldn't help but appear in his eyes, in the eyes of these people, a person can escape from the cliff of Dadong Mountain, which is as smooth as jade, this seems to have been out of the realm of mortals.

Xu Maocai continued: "Your guess is right, this time Jiaozhou Sailor joins the eldest princess's plan, on the one hand, it is the Qin family, but more importantly, my participation...... If you are allowed to be in danger on the mountain, young master, then I will really be unable to hide it. But fortunately, because of this, Governor Yan trusts me very much, and I guess I won't find this ship, so you can stay at ease. ”

Fan Xian coughed twice, shook his head and said, "I have to rush back to Kyoto." After getting on the ship, he immediately inquired with Xu Maocai about the blockade situation on the sea and land at this time, and knew that tonight's blockade circle had gathered countless strongmen, plus those terrifying Jiupin assassins in Dongyi City, if he wanted to break through from the land, it would be extremely difficult.

"Can you let the boat go three miles north? He frowned and said, "Three miles away, those people can't control the wider area, and they should be able to find opportunities." ”

"Too many eyes to watch, to wait. Xu Maocai glanced at him worriedly, sighed, in his opinion, returning to Beijing at this time is not the most important thing, finding a way to contact the black horse, and then get in touch with the people in Kyoto, sitting on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, is the wisest choice.

Fan Xian didn't know that if he wanted to seek the greatest benefits, if he could escape back to Jiangnan now, notify Xue Qing, and then return to Beijing from Wuzhou, it would be the best move to wait for him - but this kind of decision is undoubtedly not something that normal people can make, there are too many people in Kyoto who need to care about him, the survival of Qingguo, whether there will be a big war in the world, in Fan Xian's position, you must have a deep heart.

"I can't wait too long. Fan Xian lowered his voice and said directly, the flames in the lamp lit up and dimmed with the waves outside the cabin, making his face a little more anxious than he usually saw.

Yes, he can leave it behind on Dadong Mountain's side, because Uncle Wuzhu, who he is most worried about, is in the absolute environment of Dadong Mountain, compared to Ye Liuyun and Sigu Jian and even Old Eunuch Hong, he has an absolute advantage, and no one can leave him. As for Kyoto, he urgently needs him to go back, and he needs the jade seal in his arms and the emperor's handwritten letter to the queen mother.

"Outside the port of Shanzhou, are you on the boat?" Fan Xian still wore the clothes of his own soldiers, stood behind Xu Maocai, and asked in a low voice.

"Yes. ”

After receiving an affirmative answer, Fan Xian then asked, "When did Yan Xiaoyi get on the boat?" ”

"I don't know. Xu Maocai responded: "It should be on the way from Shanzhou to Dadongshan." ”

Fan Xian's brows furrowed, it seemed that the alliance on the part of the eldest princess had been recognized by each other, and there were not too many gaps in the interior that could be exploited: "When you are in Shanzhou, you should see a white sailing ship. ”

Xu Maocai tilted his head in confusion and said, "That's your boat, of course I noticed it." ”

"I'm going to get on that boat. Fan Xian's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a sense of unquestionable and affirmative in his tone, "Yan Xiaoyi's eyes at this time are only afraid that they have already floated from the bottom of the sea, I want to go ashore, it is too difficult, is there a way to go north from the sea?"

Xu Maocai frowned and said, "Then it's better to take a boat directly to Shanzhou, it's just ...... It depends on luck. ”

After thinking for a while, Fan Xian nodded and said, "My luck has always been excellent. ”

――――――――――――――――――――― the dark sea, the sailor ship closest to Dadong Mountain was lit up, trying to keep in touch with the surrounding ships, the sea ship was huge, but compared with Dadong Mountain, which spanned the heavens and the earth, it was small and a little pitiful, like a mung bean in front of a blank piece of paper.

The sergeants on the ship stared nervously at the sea, as if trying to find clues in the sea, and from time to time someone was drinking something, and many sergeants were ready to shhim into the sea with bows and arrows in their hands.

It has been a long time since the figure on the stone wall disappeared into the waves, from the sea to the land on both sides of Dadong Mountain, I don't know how many people are looking for Fan Xian's traces, no one thought that Fan Xian would actually hide in the rebels' own boats.

Yan Xiaoyi, who was dressed in a light arrow suit, stood silently at the bow of the ship, and the personal soldiers beside him helped him carry the heavy golden bow. He took a glass of liquor from the wooden table next to him and drank it down, still staring indifferently at the waves below the cliff. Although a long time has passed, he still believes that Fan Xian is not dead.

Although Fan Xian was hit by an arrow from himself and was deterred by the sword that broke the waves, Yan Xiaoyi still thought that Fan Xian was not dead, and issued an order, ordering the sailors and the pro-soldier battalions on the shore to step up the investigation.

Yan Xiaoyi knew that Fan Xian was injured, but he subconsciously hoped that Fan Xian was still alive, and it was best to live in front of him, and then let his arrow pierce his throat fiercely - he hated Fan Xian's little white face and hated this little white face, on the one hand, because he knew that the death of his only son was inseparable from Fan Xian, and on the other hand, because that night in the streets and alleys of Kyoto, he held a hard bow, but he fell completely down in the foggy confrontation with Fan Xian, which was a humiliation that he could not accept.

Fan Xian had to die at his own hands in order to wash away this humiliation.

"You shouldn't have that much luck this time. Yan Xiaoyi's pupils flashed with a fierce light, staring at the stone wall of Dadong Mountain motionless, but thinking about the scene he had seen before, the scene that shocked him.

That little white face could slip down from such a high, so steep, and so smooth cliff!

If it weren't for Yan Xiaoyi's superb realm and amazing eyesight, the officers and soldiers of the sailors on the sea would definitely not find Fan Xian's traces, but they were afraid that Fan Xian would escape thousands of miles away by water, and all the rebels would still think that this young Lord Tisi was still trapped in the mountains.

This is not a matter of luck, this is a matter of strength, Yan Xiaoyi was slightly cold, shocked by Fan Xian's strength, and because the ship was too far away from the cliff, his chain of thirteen arrows did not nail Fan Xian to the cliff, but only injured him, this fact made Yan Xiaoyi difficult to suppress and move.

How could such a powerful enemy allow him to escape from tonight's nirvana?

"How is the search on each ship?" Yan Xiaoyi said with a cold face, when there was no trace of Fan Xian in the sea, he immediately thought that the kid should have climbed onto his own ship from the sea. This time, the Jiaozhou sailors sent were all their own people who knew the inside story, and Yan Xiaoyi did not doubt it.

Jiaozhou Admiral Qin Yi glanced at him and said in a low voice, "Not on the boat." ”

This person is the second generation of the Qin family, the cousin of the privy deputy envoy Qin Heng, because last year's Fan Xianqing investigated the Jiaozhou case, so that this person had the opportunity to take over the post of Jiaozhou Naval Commander, at this time, since he and Yan Xiaoyi stood side by side at the bow of the ship, the attitude of the Qin family ...... Nature is clear.

"Be careful, this son is very slippery, since he came down from the mountain, he must be carrying something very important in his arms, if he is allowed to rush back to Kyoto, I am afraid that it will have a great impact on the plans of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess and Old Man Qin. Yan Xiaoyi said silently.

Qin Yi responded yes, although he was a first-grade naval commander, but in front of Yan Xiaoyi, a super-grade metropolitan governor, he did not have the qualifications to be tough, especially in this siege of Dadong Mountain, all parties took care of each other, but it was Yan Xiaoyi who really spoke powerfully.

Yan Xiaoyi looked at the sea water in front of him, suddenly frowned, and said, "I'm worried...... Fan Xian went ashore from the bottom of the sea. ”

"No one can hold their breath for so long. Qin Yi shook his head and said, "There is your personal battalion on the shore, as well as those masters of Dongyi City, who should not give him a chance." ”

A strange smile appeared on the corner of Yan Xiaoyi's lips, thinking that the little white face could slide down from the cliff hundreds of zhang high, how could it be inferred by common sense.

Seeing Yan Xiaoyi's worries, Qin Yi said calmly: "Ming rì, at the latest, the plans of the states along the road will be launched, although it cannot be used in the name of the Supervision Yuan, but the news from our side is going to get out, Fan Xian is the No. 1 felony in Tianzi, how can he run?"

Yan Xiaoyi glanced at him mockingly, didn't say anything, and thought to himself how the average military general could know the strength of a nine-rank powerhouse, if he let the other party go ashore and throw himself into the vast sea of people, even if the court was fooled by the eldest princess and awarded Fan Xian a big rebellion, who could guarantee that Fan Xian would not be able to enter Beijing.

"If Fan Xian escapes from the shore, he will definitely look for the nearest subordinate of the Supervision Yuan to deliver the news to Kyoto. Yan Xiaoyi said indifferently: "Although there are secret agents from the Supervision Yuan in various parts of the state and county, he is the most assured, the closest to him...... There is no doubt that it was the people he left behind in Shanzhou. ”

Qin Yi understood and said, "I'll arrange for someone to go to Lanzhou immediately." ”

If Fan Xian heard this conversation on this ship at this time, he would definitely want to hug Yan Xiaoyi and kiss them, he was thinking Xu Maocai's boat about how to return to his own ship in Shanzhou, but he didn't expect that Governor Yan would give such a wonderful opportunity.

It's just that...... Why did he go to Shanzhou?

............ Yan Xiaoyi arranged everything, slowly raised his head, and the index finger and middle finger of his right hand subconsciously bent up, this is the habitual xìng action brought about by the perennial bow and arrow career, and with the flexion of his fingers, his eyes have fallen on the top of the distant and dark Dadong Mountain.

He knew that His Majesty the Emperor was there, and he also knew what greeted His Majesty the Emperor, but even though the rebellion had been carried out to this point, as a soldier, he still had a point of appreciation for that emperor, three points of awe, and five points of discomfort.

If it weren't for the death of his only son, who made it clear that his son was always inferior to the emperor's son Jin Gui, maybe Yan Xiaoyi would have chosen another way than like tonight.

Fortunately, there is no need to meddle in the affairs on the top of the mountain, Yan Xiaoyi thought like this, the pro-soldier camp in front of the mountain gate was handed over to that person, this was part of the agreement, and his mood would be smoother.

Then he bowed very respectfully to the sea, and wished the old man in the boat, who was about to ascend the East Mountain, to send His Majesty on his behalf.
