First of all, I apologize, I didn't update yesterday, and I didn't ask for leave at the beginning, no, it's all my own problem, and I want to say Saorui to everyone. I drank too much, and I have been sleeping since yesterday morning, and I am still a little uncomfortable at this time.

Before I came, I thought that I would definitely drink a meal, but I didn't expect to drink it like that, and pour it so thoroughly......

I'll fill in yesterday's chapter by the 20th of this month, and I'm sorry again...... I'm going to quit drinking, really, looking at the world with drunk eyes, and suddenly I found that there is a problem, it's quite scary, and alcohol is not good for my health, and I always have to be responsible for myself, my family, and your work, above. ）

......

......

Fan Xian has two sets of intelligence teams at hand, and he is extremely quick to detect movements in the world. However, the opening of the Sword House in Dongyi City was the most important matter for the attention of all forces, and he left Beijing very quickly, and at that time, the Supervision Yuan and Baoyue Tower had not yet returned with information. Yanjing is located in the north, and there are many intermingles with the other two forces in the world, and the military also has its own intelligence system, so he is anxious to ask Wang Zhikun to see if the other party has any news.

Wang Zhikun frowned and thought for a moment, then said not very firmly: "According to common sense, it should be the Marquis of Changning." ”

Dongyi City's future tendency, the impact is too far-reaching, whether it is Northern Qi or Nanqing, they are extremely nervous, Nanqing sent Tianzi No. 1 thug Fan Xian, it is estimated that it will not be able to escape the analysis and judgment of the world, and the Northern Qi side will inevitably send corresponding figures, in order to make Dongyi City feel their sincerity and bargaining chips.

The Marquis of Changning is the brother of the Empress Dowager of Northern Qi, and now he is in charge of the exchange of money in the treasury of Northern Qi, so he is indeed an extremely important figure.

Fan Xian raised his eyebrows. With some suspicion, he whispered: "This Hou Ye is also an old acquaintance, and it is good to drink." But if he really wants to do something, he is much worse than his son. ”

Wang Zhikun knew that he was talking about business at this time. As the governor of most of the capital, he did not dare to slack off, and responded: "Although Wei Hua is the commander of the Jinyi Guard. But the northern brocade guard. His status is far inferior to that of the hospital, and he does not have such great authority. ”

Fan Xian nodded. The Supervisory Yuan is a special agency. In addition to being so confident that the scumbag emperor Lao Tzu. No emperor would dare to allow such an institution to exist. Although the Northern Qi Jinyi Guard inherited from the time when Sean organized the Di Ti Cavalry, under the blow of the mother and son of the Empress Dowager of Northern Qi, the momentum was far inferior to that of the Great Wei.

Especially after Shen Zhong was stabbed to death by Uesugi Tiger on the street. Although the ability of Jinyi Wei is there. The status is getting lower and lower, if the little emperor of Northern Qi. I really want to make a difference in Dongyi City. Weihua is also not a good choice.

"The soldiers are coming. It doesn't matter who you send. After all, the competition is national strength. Or don't think about it anymore. Fan took a sip of wine. There was a faint sense of exhaustion between his eyebrows.

Wang Zhikun looked at him with a smile and said, "If Lord Xiao Fan goes here, he will definitely succeed immediately." ”

Fan Xian smiled bitterly. Before leaving Kyoto. Including all the people in the mainland, including Hu University. They all have the same faith as the king and the governor. Even His Majesty the Emperor gave an explanation in the imperial study, and he didn't seem to think that Fan Xian would lose this battle at all.

He didn't understand. In the hearts of the officials and people of Qingguo. Xiao Fan, these four words. Phnom Penh, the bamboo of the year. It has long been turned into a golden mang, and everyone has a strong confidence in him, as the past five years have already proven. As long as he takes action personally, there is nothing that cannot be done.

In this spring of the tenth year of Qingli, the government and the opposition of the country were celebrated. It seems that they are quietly waiting for Dongyi City to surrender, waiting for Lord Xiao Fan's carriage to enter the Sword House, without spending a single soldier. began to receive a large tract of land, and the people who lived in it, and the great wealth that had been accumulated for countless years.

It's just that Fan Xian himself wouldn't do such an idea. Although by Wang Shisanlang. He had felt the attitude of the person who looked at the sword, and he had also carefully expressed his attitude to the sword master, and the two sides had found the intersection of interests to some extent. However, this trip to the east. The benefits to be fought for Qingguo are really too great.

From another point of view, Dongyi City has too much to pay. It's not a playhouse. It is not a big business involving millions of taels of silver, but a real historical change, a real historical event. It will happen in front of Fan Xiandi's eyes, or even in his hands.

At this time, he couldn't help but be afraid, and he often wondered what he could do. can actually open up land and expand the territory, and it may be the way to go to the ninety-seven land?

The problem is that Si Gu Jian is seriously injured and will die. For Emperor Qing's hatred and anger, I am afraid that it will be difficult to wash away the water of the East China Sea. Although this great master knew that after his death, Dongyi City would inevitably be divided between the two major countries, he had to consider this city and the vassal states next to the city, so he invited Northern Qi Nanqing to participate in the last opening ceremony of his life. But he still has to fight for the interests of the people of Dongyi City for the last time.

Fan Xian couldn't help but think of the last deep conversation with Emperor Lao Tzu in the imperial study before leaving Beijing, when His Majesty had a faint smile on his face, although he was full of confidence in Fan Xian's trip to Dongyi, but between his words and deeds, he didn't attach much importance to this opening ceremony.

The emperor's thoughts, Fan Xian knew very well, and those who were as confident and powerful as His Majesty did not care about the reconciliation and final goodness released by the Dongyi City Mansion when it was about to fall

In the opinion of the emperor. This is just the last sorrow of Dongyi City, if Qingguo can spend less to get the land and wealth of Dongyi City, it is of course a very cost-effective thing, but if Sigu Sword puts forward the conditions, so that Emperor Qing feels very nonsense, Emperor Qing is not afraid to directly raise the sword and gun in his hand, turning this sorrowful cry into a miserable cry.

And with Fan Xian's analysis and understanding of the temperament of these two powerful people in the world, the conditions that Sigu Jian was about to put forward must be unacceptable to Emperor Qing, and this is the biggest problem he will face on this trip.

—————————————————

The envoy team did not dare to delay too much time in Yanjing City, and early the next morning, Fan Xian went out of the city under the send-off of Wang Zhikun and Mei Zhili, and met with the four subordinates of the Supervision Yuan who rushed from Jiangnan to the local supervision institute, and drove to the official road.

The convoy headed towards the vicinity of the Namgyung border. The officers and soldiers who have not completely left the escort of the Yanjing battalion. Then there was another rendezvous team. A businessman looked at him in wonder. Climbed into the van idle carriage.

"Good work. Fan Xian patted Shi Xian on the shoulder. Over the years. Three of the four sons of Fan Men worked hard in the Qingguo Dynasty. And only the history of the land that was not lifted in that year became the private help of Fan Xiandi, and he has been in Jiangnan and overseas luxury counties, and opened Baoyue Tower with Sang Wen. secretly sorted out the intelligence sources for Fan Xian.

Shi Xianli whispered to Fan Xian about the recent situation of the Baoyue Building. and some gossip that I heard in Dongyi City.

"It seems that Thirteen Lang is right, and there are also disputes within Dongyi City. This time, everyone in the world thought that I was going to pick fruits in Daqing. Where would I have thought that this fruit could also be poisonous. Fan Xian listened for a long time. He laughed at himself and said, "It's just that I can't see clearly." That Dongyi City Landlord. Where exactly did the courage come from? In the case that Sigu Jian was about to die. Dare to do it against my Daqing. ”

"The people of Northern Qi must be secretly supporting him. Even inside the Sword House. There are also many people who are reluctant to get close to me Daqing. ”

These things are not up to them to want to. Fan Xian sighed, "Strength determines everything. Look around and die with a sword. There is no more great grandmaster in the Northern Qi and Dongyi. The two sides can only meet on the battlefield. The Northern Qi Dynasty has a wide border. The people are rich in soil and fertilizer. There is a battle with my Daqing. And Dongyi City was founded on trade. If you are rich, you will be rich, but you will not be very strong, where is my opponent?"

"The key question is. Looking around at the sword wound in His Majesty's situation. The whole of the sword house hates me Nanqing to the bone. I'm afraid that they would rather fight to the death. I don't want to give in. "Shi Yanli has lived a big boss life all these years. Raising the land is a little fatter. Nor did he have any gray hair on his head. Compared with the youthful and shabby appearance of the land, I don't know how much it has changed. But the only thing that hasn't changed. It is loyalty and admiration for Fan Xiandi. Since the beginning of the year, he has stayed in Dongyi City to explore the intentions of the Sword Mansion. Therefore, knowing that there are risks under the dead silence of the Earth Sword House now, I can't help but be a little worried about the sect master.

"The key is to look around and look at the sword. Fan Xian lowered his head. Keep your eyes closed. As the carriage marched together, he said with a wry smile: "If he is really a wrenched idiot." I'm afraid it's going to be a big fight. But if you really want to fight, then what is Thirteen Lang? Thirteen Lang will be the heir to his mantle, such a strong and powerful attitude. forced me to think twice for him. Sigu Sword will not make this move in vain. ”

"That's another question. Dongyi City fell to me Daqing or Northern Qi, it is a matter of Chun. However, looking at the sword behind the sword, who is in charge of it, this is another big deal. Shi Yanli said worriedly: "Although the thirteen adults are deeply favored by the sword. But Yun Zhilan is the first disciple of the Sword House, and he has a wide range of contacts. It is very popular, and there are countless juniors, sisters and juniors to build momentum, plus the support of the City Lord's Mansion and Northern Qidi. If Sigu Jian died, I was afraid that Yun Zhilan would not give the Thirteen Adults any chance. ”

Fan Xian opened his eyes, and there was a slight cold glint in his eyes. He said to himself: "Is it going to be like many years ago?" Can the sword house be determined?"

This is said to be an old thing in Dongyi City many years ago, a big event, and the four swords are outrageously beheading more than 100 people in the family. Even his own biological parents have not been spared, and the notoriety of madmen and idiots has spread far and wide. At the same time, it also allowed the Supervision Yuan to choose a shadow until today.

Shi Lili was silent. I don't know how to answer.

"It is definitely impossible for the city lord of Dongyi City to accept our conditions. Fan Xian said softly: "There is a book about the Three Kingdoms that mentioned in the book that the courtiers can surrender, because they are still being courtiers, only the city lord." If he surrenders, then he is nothing. ”

"Another key is the inheritance of Dongyi City. He rubbed his eyebrows, "If Yun Zhilan really wants to rob Thirteen." We, the outsiders, don't play much of a role in advance. ”

After Shi Yanli pondered for a moment, he asked in a low voice: "Before the teacher leaves Beijing, what is the bottom line that His Majesty gave to the earth?"

"Ministers, tribute, scattered armies, the vassal states opened their borders, our Qing army entered and stationed, and the princes all gathered in Kyoto to live. Fan Xian lowered his head and said.

Shi Yanli took a big breath of cold air, thinking that these conditions would come out, if Dongyi City was abolished, His Majesty's appetite was too great, and he wanted to intimidate only with his strong national strength, and surrender without a fight.

"Of course, the number of years can be talked about again, and it is not necessarily a matter of time. Fan Xian said softly, in fact, it was after he and Emperor Qing had argued privately for a long time that he bought more time for Dongyi City. After a pause, he continued, "If these little princes don't dare to go to Kyoto to live. His Majesty built a new mansion for them in Yanjing, so naturally he would not treat them badly. ”

Shi Yanli suppressed the shock in his heart, shook his head and said: "No one will agree, such conditions, if their heads are put on the board of my Daqing." I'm afraid that they would rather fight to the death. At least there is some hope. ”

Fan Xian didn't answer this question, and instead said: "The people of Northern Qi definitely can't watch Dongyi being swallowed by us, this time they will definitely do something." ”

"What can they do?"

Fan Xian lifted the curtains of the car window, looked at the green trees on the official road, and said casually: "The little emperor of Northern Qi will first try to persuade Sigu Jian to join forces with Northern Qi before he dies, and Northern Qi will give Dongyi City a lot of support. If once detected by the Northern Qi people. Dongyi City really can't resist and is ready to agree to the treaty of my Daqing Dynasty, then they will destroy this agreement at all costs. ”

Without waiting for Shi Yanli to speak, he continued to whisper: "Kill me, or kill an important person in Dongyi City. provoked the already strong hatred and bloodshed between Dongyi City and my Nanqing, as long as the war started, Dongyi City wanted to surrender again, with His Majesty's character. will not agree, at that time, the Northern Qi people can ride on the wall and make plans. ”

As he said this, the convoy turned in a southeasterly direction. Relying on a hill and a clear stream on the side, it went in the direction of the Song Kingdom. Fan Xian squinted his eyes and looked back. Yanjing City is still clearly visible, and the soldiers in that large camp are waiting for the coming of war, or are terrified of the coming of war.

Miss Wang is going to marry into Prince He's mansion as a side concubine, so it is naturally impossible to send Fan Xian today, but she still respectfully asked Wang Dadu to bring a gift to Fan Xian. Every time he thinks of this miserable eldest lady who was unbeatable at the beginning, but was later rectified by herself, Fan Xiandi's mood will feel a little complicated.

No matter what kind of temperament a person is, whether it is a great grandmaster or the daughter of an arrogant and powerful person, if he or she has a certain goal in this world, then he or she will definitely be willing to pay a price that is impossible to pay in ordinary days for this matter.

"There's only one thing I'm worried about right now. Fan Xian retracted his gaze looking out of the car window and said softly: "Sigu Jian is not a great sage and sage, if he, like me, believes in the creed of not being afraid of floods after death, then it will be troublesome." ”

"Huh?" Shi Yanli obviously didn't fully understand this sentence.

Fan Xian smiled bitterly and said: "Before Kuhe died, he played two ruthless chess, which dragged my Daqing hard work and gave me a headache. It is hard for me to believe that Sigu Sword was defeated at the hands of His Majesty, and I have been thinking about it for two and a half years, and I am willing to admit defeat like this, without any ideas. ”

He was afraid of the terrible thoughts of these great masters.

......

......

On the third day, the convoy crossed the invisible border hidden in the plain and entered the Song Kingdom. This small vassal state is not large in size, not as large as Nanqing or Northern Qidi, but it has an extremely long history. Although there is a nominal king, in fact, all of them are controlled by Dongyi City, except for the power of appointment and dismissal of officials, all the armed forces come from the Dongyi City Lord's Mansion and Jianlu.

Fan Xian is no stranger to Song Guo, and he is extremely familiar with this road. Because the Baoyue Building of the Song Kingdom opened very early, it was Fan Xian who controlled the world's high-end Qinglou industry and carried out the first batch of pilots for the development of chain stores. A few years ago, after the Dadong Mountain Change, Fan Xian escaped from the mountains with a serious injury after sniping Yan Xiaoyi to death, and also entered the country from the Song Kingdom, passed through Yanjing, and finally returned to Kyoto, leading the Supervision Yuan to launch a ruthless counterattack against the forces of the eldest princess.

In previous years, Fan Xian was alone, incognito, disguised, physically and mentally exhausted, with lingering injuries, and he didn't know what the future was.

When this year comes, all the way to the canopy, with the service like a cloud, bright guard of honor, ten thousand people's attention, the scenery is infinite, with the name of the world's first great power minister, Hengsheng boasted on the street of the Song Kingdom.

However, in Fan Xian's opinion, he has not changed at all, what has really changed is the comparison of the strength of the three forces in the world.

Rejecting the official hospitality of the Song Kingdom, and avoiding those vigilant and complicated eyes, Fan Xian and his party lived in Baoyue Building, after all, it was their own industry, and they were more assured in terms of safety.

Just a moment after entering the building, an official of the Song Kingdom came to report with a nervous expression, saying that a guest had come and asked to meet Lord Xiao Fan. Fan Xian's expression was slightly stunned, and then he looked at the nervous expression of the official, and he knew who the visitor was, so he couldn't help laughing, thinking that it was a coincidence, he had just arrived, and the people of Northern Qi had also arrived.

He got up and walked outside the hall, arched his hand and greeted him with a smile: "Brother Wei Hua, I didn't expect it to be you." ”

The commander of the Northern Qi Jinyi Guard made Wei Hua smile helplessly, and solemnly returned the salute: "I have seen Lord Xiao Fan." ”
