The black cavalry went straight to Jiaozhou, in order to hide people's eyes, the route chosen naturally could not be an official road. No matter how confident Fan Xian was, no matter how confident he was in the powerful combat power of the black cavalry, it was impossible to expect that once the chaos started, with only more than 400 horsemen, he would be able to suppress one of the three major sailors of the Daqing Dynasty.

So you can only quietly enter the city, and don't shoot guns.

Looking at the Jiaozhou City Gate from afar, Fan Xian dismounted, and according to the methods of the Supervision Institute that he had practiced since childhood, he found a quiet place and let the horse go. The horse was quite spiritual, and seemed to understand the meaning of the master, so he didn't linger much, so he went to the valley by himself, and disappeared after a while.

It's not that Fan Xian is reluctant to kill the horse, it's just that the smell of blood is really unnecessary, but it will bring some trouble. After making sure that the horse would not reveal his whereabouts, he sat down under a tree, dug a small pit beside him, took off his clothes, and buried them in the earth.

Then he took out the equipment on his body, conducted a very detailed examination, and confirmed that the black dagger, the three newly equipped dark crossbows, and the drug poison that never left his body were all there, and he applied something on his face, before he nodded subconsciously, and then sighed.

Some unwillingly buried the sword of the Son of Heaven sent by Wang Qinian into the pit, Fan Xian thought to himself, I don't know when he can use this sword in a bright and bright way.

By the time he left the big tree, Master Tisi Xiaofan of the Supervision Yuan had already transformed into a very ordinary young man, his face was still beautiful, but the distance between his eyebrows had widened, and the corners of his eyes had paused a little, less heroic and more sincere, and he was already a completely different person.

Inside the coarse cloth clothes, it is still the close-fitting black sè night dress, fortunately, the material is first-class, the breathability is excellent, and it doesn't feel hot.

Walking along the rarely traveled mountain road to Jiaozhou City, the sun had already sunk under the mountain behind him, and a faint twilight shrouded the four fields. At the last moment in front of the gate of Jiaozhou City, Fan Xian walked to the city gate, honestly handed over the road guide, answered a few routine questions from the city gate soldiers, and easily entered the city.

The road guide made by the Supervision Yuan is not a high level of fake, but simply a genuine product, naturally no one will find the problem, and when Fan Xian answered the question, although he was respectful, there was no trace of panic, this Jiaozhou is located by the sea, and there are many people who come and go, and the soldiers at the city gate have long been used to it, so they have not paid enough attention to it.

Passing through the city gate, Fan Xian rubbed his eyes and smiled, like a traveler from afar, looking at the surrounding houses and scenery with some curious eyes, but he didn't dare to be too leisurely, and his feet did not slow down, perfectly playing an outsider who was busy with affairs.

Jiaozhou City is really different from the general state city, although it is adjacent to the sea, but the business, to be precise, is about the retail bulk business is not developed, it is obviously the most prosperous avenue that runs through the city, but there are not many shops on both sides, even if there are some facades, it is also semi-hidden, there is no signboard, so that outsiders can not know at all, what kind of business is engaged in inside.

The whole city seems a little solemn and calm, less of the fireworks of life, but a little more majestic.

Fan Xian walked and watched these details at the same time, knowing that this was because the Jiaozhou sailor was stationed here. Jiaozhou is far away from the Central Plains, it is really a place far away from the emperor of the mountain, and the sailor itself has tens of thousands of soldiers, this force is really terrifying.

With a relatively large water division, the local strength of Jiaozhou is a little insignificant, and the highest official in Jiaozhou City is only a Zhizhou, and he still has to be honest in front of the admiral of the water division.

Moreover, Jiaozhou should be an economic affair, and it depends on the snort of the water division. The tens of thousands of officers and soldiers of the Navy Division were requisitioned nearby in addition to the deployment of the imperial court, which made the people of Jiaozhou a little annoyed, but also brought a kind of abnormal prosperity -- at least they did not have to worry about the fact that they could not sell their food.

It is precisely because of these reasons that Jiaozhou City is a huge logistics base for sailors, just like a delicate yellow flower girl around a big man, who only accepts it, but can't make a few complaints.

With such a huge entity as the water division on the side, Jiaozhou City is naturally also given a strong military atmosphere, the best parts of the city have been requisitioned by the military, the largest mansions are all lived in by the senior generals in the water division, and the best girls are occupied by those water divisions.

Although the imperial court has a clear order that the garrison generals are not allowed to live in the adjacent state cities, everyone knows that this rule has long lost its effect, not only in Jiaozhou, but also in all the local state armies and even border armies, but all the big men with some power are not willing to live in miserable tents, but will buy houses and women in the state city.

The Black Rider is a special case within a special case.

Fan Xian looked up at the green building with the red light hanging high over there, and couldn't help laughing, where there are many places in Qiu Ba, the business of the jì courtyard is naturally not much worse, but I don't know if those officers and soldiers of the water division will be in arrears, but according to the news from the courtyard, although the Jiaozhou water division is the emperor of Jiaozhou City, he has never eaten much grass by the nest.

They used to eat grass from the sea to the south.

............ Fan Xian lowered his head and walked briskly past a large mansion, which covered an extremely wide area, with flying eaves and phoenixes, doors painted with vermilion lacquer, and hidden bamboos on the walls, which occupied half of the street, and was even more arrogant than the mansions of those big men in Kyoto.

Now this mansion is also like the green building in the distance, hanging red lanterns, looking jubilant, and the door is pasted with a portrait of a fairy with a white beard.

Extremely incongruous with this joyful atmosphere were the soldiers guarding the gate of the mansion, those soldiers had dark faces, and the rust was faintly visible under their ears, presumably people who had lived at sea for many years. The soldiers did not squint, their faces were solemn, and they looked at the passers-by in front of the house.

There are not many pedestrians who dare to walk at the gate of this mansion, so they are more responsible for checking the guests, although the guests are not only the bosses of the water division, the rest are officials in Jiaozhou City, and there are some wealthy businessmen who can stand on the stage, and even a few businessmen from all the way from Jiangnan, but these soldiers still dare not relax, carefully inspect the gift box, to ensure that no one dares to bring the murder weapon inside.

Today is the birthday feast of adults, and they must ensure that nothing goes wrong.

In addition to the heavily guarded front gate of the mansion, Fan Xian was really lucky, and he had already heard that there should be a lot of nails buried in those secluded places in the mansion.

He walked briskly, his head bowed, a strange smile on his lips, and he could see clearly the guards stationed on the street corners outside the mansion, and at the same time drew a map of the surrounding terrain, which was deeply imprinted in his mind. He only walked around the huge palace back then, and he remembered all the paths clearly, let alone such a big mansion.

............ Leaving behind him the bustle and the sound of salutation, the dazzling red sè of the red lantern disappeared into the darkness, Fan Xian pursed his lips, his eyes glanced at a certain place under the wall next to the street, intentionally or unintentionally, and saw a familiar secret mark, then turned around and entered, until he walked to the end of the alley.

It's a dead alley.

Fan Xian looked up at the wall on the opposite side of the dead alley, shook his head, tiptoed a little, the whole person stood up lightly, and with his palm on the wall, he turned over.

Quietly, Fan Xian, who was dressed as an ordinary person, disappeared into Jiaozhou City again.

Behind the ――――――――――――――――――――― wall was a small courtyard, the place was not very quiet, and the sound of the street could be faintly heard from a few large houses away. Although there are six rooms in the front and back, the house also looks a little old, indicating that although the people who live here are not ordinary people, they are not necessarily doing well.

Fan Xian stepped on the stone steps, pushed the door in, walked straight to the main seat, picked up the teapot beside him and sniffed it, poured himself a cup of tea and drank it.

The owner of the footsteps walked into the house and found a young man he didn't know sitting there, and was about to ask a question, but he looked at the gesture made by the man's fingers, and couldn't help but be surprised and delighted and said, "Teacher, you are here." ”

Fan Xian smiled, put down the teacup in his hand, looked at Hou Jichang's thin face, and couldn't help but say: "This is here to be an official in Jiaozhou, I thought I could raise your shriveled body better, why is it getting thinner?"

After Hou Jichang met Yang Wanli at the Jiangnan Embankment, he worked tirelessly to come to Jiaozhou to take office, and he had to secretly investigate those shocking things for Fan Xian, and the pressure on his mind was also great. He has been in Jiaozhou for nearly a month, but there has been no progress, I am afraid that it will hinder the major affairs of the sect, I can't sleep for several nights, and now my eyes are deep-set, my cheekbones are prominent, where is there still half a bit of the appearance of a chic and talented man on a rainy day in Kyoto.

He smiled bitterly and laughed at himself and said, "Students don't have the ability to laugh at the world's affairs like a teacher." ”

Fan Xian sighed, although the four of his subordinates said that Hou Jichang was the most thoughtful and the most ruthless and bold, but in the face of the coming blood, it could be seen that the scholar was still a scholar after all. Originally, logically speaking, it would be good for the Supervision Yuan to come forward in this matter, but Fan Xian arranged for Ji Chang to come here, on the one hand, to shock the officials in Jiaozhou, and on the other hand, he was also selfish...... Such a big credit must allow Ji Chang to get an unconventional promotion.

This kind of benefit, Fan Xian is still willing to leave it to his students, but it is also a price to make him frightened.

"After you arrived in Jiaozhou, was there anything unusual. Fan Xian asked calmly, he didn't ask about the smuggling of the Jiaozhou sailor, because he knew that it was impossible for Hou Ji Chang to find out these things in the officialdom in such a short period of time.

Hou Jichang thought for a while and said: "Everyone in the world knows that I am your protégé, so these officials are polite to me, even those generals in the water division are very knowledgeable, but they are just ...... But I didn't know anything, I just heard some rumors. ”

Fan Xian nodded, this was a situation that he had guessed a long time ago, he thought about it and said, "Admiral Chang Kun of the Water Master has a birthday banquet today, didn't he invite you?"

Hou Jichang was stunned for a moment and said, "I'm just a petty official, but ...... It should be to give you face, and this admiral also gave me a post, but ...... You said that I would arrive today, so I have been waiting at home, and I am not sure whether to go or not. ”

"Go. Fan Xian said categorically: "You go first." ”

Let him go first, the latent meaning is naturally that Fan Xianhui will go later.

Hou Jichang frowned and said, "You are alone?"

"One person is enough. Fan Xian smiled and said, "Chang Kun is not Sean, he is not qualified to make me pay too much attention to him." ”

After a pause, he said: "Today is his birthday banquet, and his family can give him a birthday and a memorial service after rì...... This can save you a lot of trouble. ”

Hou Jichang was shocked in his heart, his mouth was bitter, and he looked at his disciple in a daze, knowing that Fan Xian was definitely going to kill at today's birthday banquet, but he didn't know how the disciple was going to kill under the protection of the powerful Jiaozhou Sailor, and the dignified Sailor Admiral, from the top official, couldn't just assassinate the matter, His Majesty and the teacher...... I don't think this kind of foolish mistake will be made. If the birthday banquet is made into a Shura field, how can the aftermath be dealt with?
