Chapter 115: The Heart on the Sea Ship
There was sea water in all directions, heavy sea water like a boulder, inky sea water, pouring into his mouth, nose and ears, making him unable to breathe, and his body kept swinging back and forth with the undercurrent, looking like a fish that had been stunned, and could be carried by the undercurrent and hit the reef at any time.
Suddenly, Fan Xian opened his eyes, his pupils were calm, his cheeks gradually bulged, and he used the pressure of the gas in his body to form a reluctant balance with the pressure of the sea water in the outside world.
The sword outside that day didn't stab his body before, but that sword intent had already invaded his heart and cut him down, causing him to suffer an internal injury, which was even more terrifying than Yan Xiaoyi's arrow before.
The domineering true qi in Fan Xian's body was running at an extremely fast speed, resisting the power of nature, while Tianyi's true qi walked gently along the Zhou Tian in his body, and he was slowly smoothed out by the damage caused by Ye Liuyun's earth-shattering sword.
At this time, it is deep at the bottom of the sea, of course, there is no way to heal it immediately, but at least it can suppress the injury for a while.
It's just that the two strands of true qi in his body that are completely different from each other are running rapidly, bringing a great burden to his body, and a force is expanding in his body, and gradually, two streams of blood flow out of his nostrils, disturbed by the undercurrent of the sea, and quickly disperse into a blood mist, enveloping his face, and the arrow wound on his shoulder also began to bleed rapidly.
The whole person is like a leather bag filled with red paint at this time, and it has been pierced by two small wounds, which looks very terrifying.
Fan Xian's cheeks were bulging, his eyes were round, his face had been deformed, he was picking at the reef with one hand, and looking at the sea with the other, looking like a toad...... The problem is that this toad is bleeding and doesn't know when it will hang up, so he can't laugh himself, and he doesn't have the mood to laugh, thinking of the thrilling scene before, he can't help but feel a chill in his heart.
The sea water scattered his hair, floating like seaweed, and in the seaweed, a trace of complicated feelings flashed in the pupils on his pale face, Yan Xiaoyi's arrow on the sea was still waiting for him, and he couldn't surface the sea immediately.
As for the great master who came by boat and breaking the waves, after a sword failed, he should probably have no interest in attacking himself again.
I don't know how long he has been soaking in the sea, but the skin of his hand clutching the reef already feels a little strange, but when he stares at the sea level above, there is no way out of danger. At this time, he finally had a trace of remorse, and yesterday ...... It seems that the box should be brought with you, if there is that box by your side, why is it difficult to get out of being suppressed by Yan Xiaoyi's arrows.
Speaking of which, this just proves that Fan Xian's most jǐng Ti object after his rebirth is still the emperor of Qingguo, which may be some remnants of history, or maybe it is just some subconscious in his intuition, but he just doesn't want to show his hole cards in front of the emperor.
Even in the current situation, he was bound to the Emperor to meet the most powerful enemies in the world, but he still did not want the Emperor to know that the chest was by his side.
Because he, like Chen Pingping, doesn't know the emperor's hole cards, and he doesn't know how the emperor will react once he knows that he has a big killing weapon that can kill gods and kings in this world.
This kind of thinking influenced Fan Xian's decision, so he fell into a dangerous situation at this time, but fortunately he didn't die under those arrows and swords - about this, he should be proud enough, if the dance under the cliff tonight, the story of the black sè's arrow, and the sword breaking the waves spread throughout the world, presumably everyone in the world will enter another level of cognition of Fan Xian.
Neither a great grandmaster nor the world's strongest long-range nine-rank master killed Fan Xian, which was enough to make him feel self-conscious.
............ The domineering true qi in his body is very strong to provide the nutrients that his body needs, but he can't breathe air, and he can't support it for too long after all. Fan Xian's mouth and nose had not spilled blood, and the wound on his shoulder had been whitened by seawater bubbles, like the stomach of a dead fish, no longer bleeding. A hint of determination flashed across his pale face, and his right hand went down again, picking up a large stone from the mud and sand at the bottom of the sea.
He didn't dare to float up for the time being, so he chose a stupid method, a stupid method that he learned from Huo Yuanjia in his previous life.
It's just that Huo Yuanjia was walking at the bottom of the river back then, but he was walking on the bottom of the sea at this time. Holding the big stone, relying on the weight of the stone to stabilize his body, and did not stagger under the impact of the undercurrent on the seabed, Fan Xian stepped on the sea sand very strongly, but did not try to land and break through along the coastline.
There were masters on both sides of Dadong Mountain to intercept him, and he couldn't guarantee that his remaining True Qi would be able to support him for how long he could walk on the bottom of the sea, so he chose the closest path that could surface to the surface.
He walked to the bottom of the Jiaozhou Naval Division's warship on the sea, raised his head, opened his eyes, and calmly glanced at the bottom of the ship, which was deeper than the Yan Sè of the sea, and the strong desire to escape made his six senses extremely keen, and he could even see the moss and shells at the bottom of the wooden boat.
He put down the heavy stone in his arms, and the stone fell on the bottom of the sea and did not stir up a big movement, but only shook some mud and sand. Slowly drawing two semicircles with both hands, and performing one last pranayama, Fan Xian relaxed his body, and with the buoyancy of the seawater, he tried to float upwards as naturally as possible, for fear of alarming the Yan Dadudu, whose eyes were like eagles, ears like sharks, and noses like dogs.
Maintaining the feeling of a driftwood of stiff stones and dead wood, Fan Xian slowly floated to the bottom of the warship, and moved very carefully towards the outer edge of the bottom of the ship, his head still did not dare to poke out of the water, and through about half a foot of seawater, he tried to watch the movement of this side of the ship.
This is a gamble, the first reason why he chose this ship is, of course, because Yan Xiaoyi did not shoot arrows on this ship before, but if the helper he wanted to find was not on this ship, Fan Xian had to dive again to look for opportunities on another ship, and I don't know if he could stick to another ship at that time.
Fortunately, he had good luck this time.
Fan Xian's pale face soaked in the sea water showed a strange smile, thinking that his luck in this life was really unmatched.
He saw a hand on the side of the ship, which rested naturally on the broadboard, tapping softly and silently, maintaining a very steady and peculiar frequency.
A total of five sailors were swimming slowly on the ——————————————————— sea, and in the light of the moon, these ships were like demons looking for prey, cutting through the water, ready to nail the prey of potential seabed.
Three more ships sailed far away from the group, keeping a correspondingly distant distance, and were responsible for answering and watching over a wider area.
On one of the ships, the lights in the central hall were dim, and Xu Maocai, the general of the Jiaozhou Navy Division in charge of the ship, was sitting coldly on the Taishi chair, and two of his three personal soldiers were in charge of the jǐng ring outside the hall, and one was responsible for liaising with the sailor-flag ship.
There was only one pro-soldier left by his side, and the face of this pro-soldier was hidden in the darkness behind the light, and he couldn't see his facial features clearly, but he could vaguely see that his face was a little pale, and he didn't know if he was frightened by the big formation tonight.
There was silence on the ship, and suddenly the soldier spoke.
"Why did the Jiaozhou sailor also rebel?"
Xu Maocai is now the third person in the Jiaozhou Navy, and he has his own powerful enough strength under his hands, if he doesn't know the inside story of a major event like tonight, he will definitely not dare to surround the sea around Dadong Mountain with the sailor's flag ship.
He lowered his head, and then slowly spoke: "Young Master, the current situation is not that the Jiaozhou Navy Master has rebelled...... But...... Are you betrayed?"
That pro-soldier was naturally Fan Xian, who was so lucky that he went against the sky and quietly touched the warship. Xu Mao was the old man of the Quanzhou Sailor back then, and the hand that had been hanging on the outboard proved that this person had been secretly expecting Fan Xian to escape from death, so Fan Xian trusted him enough, but after hearing this, Fan Xian still frowned.
On the one hand, how would the eldest princess arrange it, Fan Xian and the emperor had already guessed that such a big thing as the siege of Dadong Mountain could only control the news at most, and in the end, the emperor was assassinated, so that the crown prince would succeed to the throne...... The assassination of the emperor always needs to be carried by one person.
And that person must have the power to kill the emperor, and have this motive for behavior, in order to be able to convince the queen mother in the palace and the hundred officials in the court.
Even if it is not persuasion, it is necessary to give those people a psychological explanation.
And it is obvious that among the people who went to Dadong Mountain to worship the sky, the only person who had the strength to kill the emperor was, of course, Fan Xian, the Inspectorate of the Supervision Yuan, who had five hundred black horsemen in his hand and some unknown masters in secret.
As for the motive for the assassination...... Presumably, with the wisdom of the eldest princess, she will naturally go around the matter of the Empress Dowager's most jǐngti old Ye family.
"You didn't respond, and I believe you didn't report to Wu Gefei...... Hou Jichang, you didn't report there. ”
Fan Xian stood behind Xu Maocai, staring coldly at his side face, in order to prevent someone from suddenly entering the house, so after getting on the boat, he only bandaged the wound slightly, and then disguised himself as Xu Maocai's personal soldier and stood behind him all the time.
"I let you stay in Jiaozhou Sailor for today's day. Fan Xian's tone was calm, but there was a hint of anger in his heart, "As a result, you didn't do anything...... The assassination of His Majesty by the Supervision Yuan may be able to convince some of the generals in the Navy, but how can you believe it? And why is Yan Xiaoyi on the ship of the Sailor? Don't these Sailor generals have no doubts in their hearts? Why do they believe in your loyalty and let you come to Dadong Mountain?"
Xu Maocai thought for a while and said, "Regarding the assassination, some people should believe it...... After all, the reputation of the Supervision Yuan is not good, and yesterday I received news that five hundred black horsemen rushed from the camp in Jiangbei to Kunshan Chong overnight, and suddenly there was no news in the area of Shandong Road, so if it is said that these five hundred black horsemen came to assassinate the driver, it is also said in the past. ”
Fan Xian's heart was slightly cold, the five hundred black horses were transferred by himself, but they were not close to the range of Dadong Mountain, if they were brought here by the people of Kyoto, if the emperor really could not escape the catastrophe this time, he was really a little unclear...... Fortunately, there are still a few trump cards in my arms.
Xu Maocai described the current situation in the army in detail. The more Fan Xian listened, the more helpless he became, he was at the top of the mountain in the middle of the night, it turned out that the bottom of the mountain had become a different appearance, and he colluded with Dongyi City to look around and stab the sword...... This method of cutting off stolen goods is inevitably too naïve.
However, Fan Xian knows that the means are always secondary, as long as the winner is finally separated by strength, no matter how naïve the eldest princess is, it will become an ironclad historical fact in the history books.
"Of course, most of the sailors have doubts, and even I'm sure some of them are ...... is simply to know the truth of this Dadongshan incident. Xu Maocai said coldly: "It's just that even if you know the truth, what if Chang Kun still led the army in the past, with the awe that he and those veterans of the water master had for His Majesty, he would definitely be killed and would not dare to participate in this matter." And young master, you killed in Jiaozhou for a while last year, many veterans have been killed, I don't know how many generals began to feel cold to the imperial court, now the Jiaozhou sailor is already the world of the Qin family, even if it is really a rebellion, I believe that the generals on these sailors and ships under Dadong Mountain will also be happy. ”
Fan Xian said calmly: "You should also know the truth. The evolution of the water division, I have never doubted...... His Majesty also knows the Qin family, and I believe that he must have follow-up means, so I still wonder how you gained the trust of the eldest princess......"
He suddenly frowned and said, "I'm cold to the imperial court, I guess you have the credit for this matter...... Maocai, I let you stay in Jiaozhou Sailor, not to let you toss out a rebel army. ”
After Xu Maocai was silent for a long time, he suddenly got up, looked at Fan Xian deeply, and said sincerely: "Young master, Maocai is not talented, and he has not been able to completely control the Jiaozhou Sailor in his hands, but now, he ...... Since the eldest princess rebelled and the Qin family also joined in, you should have seen it...... There is also that great master on the sea, and the opportunity is rare. ”
His eyes stared at Fan Xian's pale face, flashing a trace of loyalty and heat, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Young Master, take the opportunity to turn around!"
Fan Xian stared at Xu Maocai's eyes, and didn't speak for a long time, he knew that this general was loyal to himself, no, it should be his mother's loyalty, and it was not without conjecture that he proposed such a rebellious proposal at this time, and then ...... He just shook his head slightly.
"Why?" Xu Maocai lowered his voice and said anxiously: "Now the real powerhouses in the world have been attracted to Dadong Mountain, Kyoto is just an empty stomach, young master, you have a plane to land, contact the five hundred black horsemen in the area of Shangkun Mountain, run thousands of miles to Kyoto, and cooperate with Dean Chen, and control the palace in one fell swoop...... When the two sides of Dadong Mountain are defeated, you, as the prince, will climb high in Kyoto and raise your arms, a big event...... It can be done!"
"Completely unworkable. Fan Xian tried his best to calm his tone, so as not to hurt the hearts of the people in front of him, and said gently: "The emperor is strict with me, and he has never let me take charge of the army...... How could I possibly handle it?"
"The commander of the Kyoto garrison division is a close confidant of the great prince, and the forbidden army is all under the control of the great prince, and the thirteen city gates are directly under the command of His Majesty, and once His Majesty is not there, he is a headless person. Xu Maocai was obviously very prepared, and said one by one in an orderly manner: "Young master, since you have taken the risk to break through, you must have a token of Your Majesty on your body, it should be a handwritten letter or a jade seal, etc., you enter the palace alone, persuade the Queen Mother, and then get the support of Yi Guifei...... Outside the palace, Dean Chen was invited to take action and sweep away the power of the crown prince and the second prince in one fell swoop......"
Fan Xian waved his hand to intercept his words and said, "This qiē is all based on the premise that the eldest prince supports me. ”
Xu Maocai didn't wait for him to finish, and admonished: "If the emperor dies, you have the jade seal imperial book in your hand, and you have a good relationship with the eldest prince, the eldest prince does not support you, who can you support?"
"What about the Qin family?" Fan Xian stared at his eyes and said word by word: "And what about the Ye family in Dingzhou? How many troops are the two sides combined? The Ye family has been operating the Kyoto garrison for twenty years, and the eldest prince can't completely control it. ”
"So what?" Xu Maocai lowered his voice and said: "I am a seven-way jīng soldier in the Daqing Dynasty, Yan Xiaoyi is in Dongshan, and the Zhengbei camp cannot be mobilized, and there are only two genera of Ye and Qin's two families, and there are four jīng soldiers...... As long as the young master can control the palace, these four jīng soldiers are all in your hands, even if Kyoto is in danger at the beginning, it will not be half a month, and the whole situation will be reversed!"
"The reason why you hesitate is because you haven't carefully analyzed how much power you can muster at your disposal. Xu Maocai stared at Fan Xian's eyes, and said word by word: "Your Majesty was assassinated in Dongshan, you have the jade seal and His Majesty's handwritten letter as witnesses, and the crime of assassination can easily be placed on the heads of the eldest princess and the second prince, which is the name of righteousness...... In less than half a month, this righteous name can be recognized by the four jīng soldiers, although you have no one in the court, but Lin Xiangye...... I'm afraid that there are a lot of people left for you. As for the beginning of the thunderstorm, the situation in Kyoto was turbulent, but ...... Dean Chen is the best at this kind of thing. And also...... Don't forget Fan Shangshu, he will definitely support you. ”
Fan Xian was silent for a long time, admitting that Xu Maocai secretly didn't know how much effort he had put into planning for himself in order to rebel, and if the situation continued like this, if he could stay away from the sea, get rid of Yan Xiaoyi's pursuit, and return to Kyoto...... Perhaps, the authority of this Qingguo will really be extremely close to his own hands.
Is this temptation great? Fan Xian didn't know, because his mind was clear, and he didn't think in that direction at all.
"First of all, I want to make sure that I can return to Kyoto alive. Fan Xian looked at Xu Maocai and said calmly: "There is also the most important question, your inferences are all based on the assassination of the Dadong Mountain Holy Driver...... However, who sues you, Your Majesty will definitely die this time?"
