Yan Bingyun, who has always maintained an inhuman indifference and calmness, is indeed an extremely good spy officer, but the anger that erupted at this moment proved his power and control ability as the head of Qingguo's secret spies in Northern Qi. Facing the anger in the prisoner's eyes, even Fan Xian subconsciously wanted to dodge.

Yan Bingyun's lips trembled twice, and in a very low voice, extremely fast speed, like an exploding firecracker, he leaned into Fan Xian's ear and said, "Sean is still in control?"

Fan Xian shook his head and whispered: "After the fog crossed the river, it was handed over to the Jinyi Guard of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and it is estimated that he has entered Beijing." ”

"Is there a way to kill him?"

"Nope. ”

"Did you ask the secret in his mouth?"

Fan Xian was stunned, the distance between him and Yan Bingyun was widened, his eyes looked at each other quietly, and asked, "Do you know the secret in his mouth?"

Yan Bingyun looked at the young Lord Tisi in front of him, the corners of his lips flashed a hint of strangeness, and said: "I have been in Northern Qi for four years, and naturally I know that the Northern Qi royal family has always been obsessed with Sean, although I don't know the specific content of that secret, but ...... Since it can be so valued by the Northern Qi royal family, it must not be easy to think about. ”

After a pause, Yan Bingyun suddenly said, "Do you know who Sean is?"

Fan Xian nodded and said with a smile: "I believe I know better than everyone else. ”

Yan Bingyun cursed at a fast pace: "Since you know, how can you allow this kind of thing to happen?"

Fan Xian looked at the other party quietly, and said slowly: "The meaning of Your Majesty and the Dean is very clear, Sean is already old, and you are still young, so this transaction is actually taking advantage of us." ”

Yan Bingyun fell silent again, he didn't expect that because of his relationship, the Nanqing Imperial Court would be willing to exchange Sean for it, but this fact made the Northern Spy Commander feel a little frustrated, he was captured by the Northern Qi Jinyi, which was originally a humiliation for Tsubaki, and now he has to pay such a big price for the imperial court, there is no doubt that it is even more humiliating.

He was disappointed, and his body, caged in the white robe, seemed to shrink.

Fan Xian looked at him calmly and said, "You are a smart person, since the matter has become a certainty, you must return to the south safely, so that we will not lose too much." ”

Yan Bingyun was indifferent and speechless, knowing that this inspector of the Supervision Yuan who came out of the sky said the most correct nonsense.

"Three days later, I will be waiting for you at the mission. ”

Fan Xian smiled, walked out side by side with Wang Qinian, and accompanied by Wei Hua, who was guarding the door, and the deputy envoy, got into the carriage and returned directly to the mission.

After returning to the mission, the people of Qingguo gathered together to summarize the events of these days, and then dispersed, leaving only Fan Xian and Wang Qinian, Fan Xian held his jaw and fell into deep thought, and did not speak for a long time.

Wang Qinian asked thoughtfully, "Master Fan, what are you thinking?"

"Why did that Miss Shen appear there?" Fan Xian yawned, and then said, "This may be that the Northern Qi people want to mess with our minds, at least to weaken the imperial court's trust in Yan Bingyun. ”

"How could it be?" Wang Qinian was puzzled, "The means used by Lord Yan are naturally clear to the imperial court. ”

"It's always going to get complicated. Fan Xian said expressionlessly: "If someone wants to do something, this may be a gap...... In addition, I still don't understand, Lao Wang, you sue me, why did we go to see Lord Yan, when he could return to China, but I couldn't see a trace of happiness on his face?"

"Because the court paid too much price in order to let him return to China. Wang Qinian is an old man in the supervision institute, and he knows more about these strange adults in the courtyard than Fan Xian, and said respectfully: "If Lord Yan knows that the imperial court will exchange Sean for him, maybe at the beginning of his arrest, he himself will choose to commit suicide instead of waiting until now." ”

Fan Xian seemed to have a hard time understanding the psychological state of these Supervision Yuan officials, and said with a frown: "Could it be ...... An excellent Supervisory Yuan official...... ......He thought about the wording for a long time before he asked casually, "Are you really so willing to sacrifice for the country?"

"Yes. Wang Qinian secretly glanced at Fan Xian, and found that the adult's face was only a little confused, so he said respectfully: "The lower official admires the Lord Yan very much, but as an official of the Supervision Yuan, or as a secret agent of the imperial court, at the beginning of admission to the hospital, he should be mentally prepared to sacrifice for the country. ”

"For what purpose?"

"One qiē for the sake of Qingguo. Wang Qinian's face showed a hint of fanaticism.

............ Fan Xian's fingers were a little subconsciously writing something on the table. When he saw Yan Bingyun for the first time today, he found that the other party had been sitting on that chair, and the sitting posture was a little weird, like a javelin, except for the buttocks, there was no other part next to the chair. It wasn't until he left that Fan Xian found that the other party's feet were chained to the chair, and there could only be one explanation for Bingyun's sitting posture.

Yan Bingyun's whole body, there is no skin that is good, it is all rotten flesh, so he chose this posture.

"Yiqiē for Qingguo?" Fan Xian's brows furrowed even tighter, "It turns out that they are all a group of idealists." ”

―――――――――――――――――――――――― documents from the Qingguo court were handed over to the embassy through official channels, and there was naturally no secret in the letter, but it was just that the birthday of the Empress Dowager of Northern Qi was approaching, and the imperial court ordered the mission to postpone its return to China, and then return to China after completing this important matter.

This is not a big deal, diplomatic exchanges between the two countries, and when you meet the queen mother, you always have to have a good time. And in Shangjing, Fan Xian still has some things to deal with, so he is naturally happy to stay for a few more days, just thinking about the beautiful wife and weak sister at home, he will always have some worries.

"The Queen Mother's birthday, we represent the face of the court, and this gift must not be too shabby. Deputy Envoy Lin Jing pondered, "Why don't you call which adult below to go shopping on Silk Street?"

Hearing the three words of Silk Street, Fan Xian thought of the letter handed over by the boss Sheng who sold wine, and shook his head again and again, the water in Shangjing was deep enough, and the eldest princess still wanted to remotely direct foreign civil strife in Xinyang, this kind of muddy water Fan Xian categorically did not mix.

"Then what to give?" Lin Jing began to have a headache about the gift of the palace banquet.

Fan Xian had already counted, waved his hand and said, "When the time comes, I'll write a poem and frame it a little better." This sounds arrogant, but several subordinates around him nodded again and again, the poet Fan Xian does not write poetry, this is a well-known thing in the world, if Fan Xian makes an exception because of the birthday of the Empress Dowager of Northern Qi, this face is also very great.

But...... Fan Xian's words really can't be handled.

Wang Qinian began to come up with bad ideas again: "Lord Yan's identity in Northern Qi is a great talent, chess, piano, calligraphy and painting are all jīng, his calligraphy teacher inherited Master Pan Ling, a year ago in the Northern Qi Dynasty, a piece of Zhongtang, can be sold for a thousand taels of silver." Lord Fan composes poems, Lord Yan writes handwriting, and the two young and handsome characters of Qingguo make a move, and they can't make the Empress Dowager of Northern Qi smile and crooked her mouth?"

Lin Jing and Lin Wen knew that Wang Qinian was Fan Zheng's confidant, and thought that this mention was not bad, they naturally knew the identity of Lord Yan now, but they felt a little weird, but they couldn't understand where the weirdness of this mention was for a while.

Fan Xian scolded with a smile: "Who is Lord Yan? I'm afraid that everyone in Northern Qi can't wait to eat his flesh and drink his blood, and you actually ask him to write a letter to give the Queen Mother a gift, and you are not afraid that the Queen Mother will be angry after opening the scroll, and the palace will become a dead life." ”

Wang Qinian was embarrassed, only then did he realize that he had indeed mentioned the absurdity of yì, and said with a smile on his face: "If you can kill the Empress Dowager of Northern Qi, this can be regarded as a good story in the courtyard." ”

Fan Xian didn't bother to pay attention to the middle-aged man's boring and cold jokes, and he fell into deep thought, it was obvious that if Yan Bingyun returned to Qingguo safely, with the foundation he had laid in Northern Qi in the past four years and the prison life in the past year, Yan Gongzi would immediately take the position within the Supervision Yuan, his father Yan Ruohai was the director of the fourth department, and the position of one place had always been vacant, and the people in the hospital knew that Dean Chen had left the position of a leader to Yan Bingyun, who was still imprisoned.

And if nothing else, he will gradually start to take over the supervision of the Yuan - after Chen Pingping's death, and Fan Xian knows very well that that day may be far away, maybe very close, very close.

If Fan Xian himself wants to firmly control the Supervision Yuan in his hands, then the Eight Divisions are the personnel he must control, but this is Fan Xian's biggest weakness, except for the three and eight divisions, he basically has no cronies of his own in the Supervision Yuan. originally thought that this trip to the north would win Yan Bingyun's friendship and then gain support from one place and another, but he didn't expect that when they first met, Fan Xian could clearly feel that Yan Bingyun seemed to be a little faintly hostile to him.

Fortunately, Yan Bingyun didn't seem to want to hide this hostility, which made Fan Xian feel a little relieved.

"Your Excellency, the hour has come. Wang Qinian reminded in a whisper.

Fan Xian nodded, got up and left the courtyard, and the two brothers Lin Jing and Lin Wen behind him looked at each other, not knowing where the envoy was going to go today.

Outside the courtyard, there was the family of the Marquis of Changning waiting, and some people in the palace had already spoken, so the Imperial Forest Army, who was in charge of the escort of the mission, acquiesced to those who were dressed in brocade clothes, took over their own work, and escorted the carriage to Taiping Lane, the most prosperous place in Shangjing in Northern Qi, and the drizzle in the sky engulfed the traces of the convoy in an instant.

Fan Xian, the commander of the Qingguo Supervision Yuan, is going to meet with the Shen Chongdà person of the Jinyi Wei Zhen Fu Division of the Qi State today, and the meeting with the head of the secret agent will always seem mysterious.
