Chapter 133: A Son Goes Over the Wall
"Kill!"
A burst of shouts of killing sounded in all directions of the alley, and countless people rushed towards Fan Xian, who was standing in the alley. The people rushed over, but it was like a river meeting an impregnable rock, and the water was scattered, and the sound of sharp blades piercing the flesh pierced people's eardrums, and then the four men who rushed to the front fell like four logs.
They clutched their throats and collapsed, blood gushing out of their hands.
Fan Xian already had a slender black dagger in his hand, and there were a few drops of dark blood on the dull blade of the dagger.
The death of Liao Liao and several people is simply impossible to shake back the impact of everyone. The onslaught of the officers and soldiers did not even pause for a moment, and they once again drowned Fan Xian.
The light of the black sè flashed again, and this time Fan Xian chose to move down very viciously, no longer trying to kill with a single sword, no longer trying to cut the throats of those officers and soldiers, but slashed a few times in the thighs and lower abdomen of the people who were away from him very quickly.
Several people had a few more bloody cuts on their bodies at the same time, and the flesh that was turned over spurted bright red blood, and the blood immediately turned into a blackened thing after a while, and a faint fishy smell came out.
Several particularly terrible screams sounded in the alley, and the injured people were not able to die for a while, but they were extremely painful to be cured by the poison attached to Fan Xian's dagger. The screams one after another finally sobered up the officers and soldiers surrounding Fan Xian, and reminded these people with spears and blades of the legendary Xiao Fan's power and viciousness.
The man chΓ‘o paused at this point.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Fan Xian killed the crowd behind the alley like a wandering spirit, like a shadow, like the wind, walking against people's bodies, occasionally stretching out his demonic palms, gently brushing over the earlobes, fingers, armpits, and weak points of those people.
Every time it passes, it will leave behind screams and wounded people who fall to the ground.
At this moment, Fan Xian chose a small means, which was the most economical and non-consuming combat method. With each of his moves, he no longer intended to make the officers and soldiers beside him fall, but to make them cry out in pain, jump up, and become jumping trees, covering up his cunning beast, and in the twilight, towards the rear of the encirclement.
A general who was presiding over the siege not far away looked at the movement there, and a chill and fear flashed in his eyes.
He never imagined that there were people in this world who could turn themselves into a wandering spirit, who could walk through the crowd of people who pursued him in full view, leaving a faint stream of blood and taking away fresh life, but people seemed so relaxed and casualβlike wearing ten thousand flowers, and not a single leaf touched his body.
Fan Xian didn't even have a wound on his body, and he had already picked up more than 20 people to kill and wounded, and in the chaotic encirclement, he forcibly broke through a distance of ten zhang!
"Stop him!" the general watched as he moved closer and closer, his pupils shrunk, and in a hoarse voice, he roared, "Punish the thief!"
The sound of the reed of a crossbow bolt sounding in Titicaca, which in such a noisy environment actually seemed very faint, but it was extremely terrifying.
Fan Xian, who was in the crowd holding the dagger with three fingers and making intimate contact with the muscles of the officers and soldiers, paused with his right hand at the moment when the crossbow machine outside the encirclement sounded.
His ears caught a familiar sound accurately, so his heart tightened, causing his right hand to pause, plunging into the chest of a squirming servant who was rushing at him, forgetting to pull it out.
The use of crossbows is strictly forbidden in Kyoto, except for the Inspectorate, which was specifically permitted in the past. So hearing this voice, Fan Xian knew that the eldest princess had already passed through the Qin family or the Ye family, and mobilized the strength of the army to infiltrate Kyoto. He didn't have time to think about the problem of the Thirteen City Gate Division, but subconsciously felt the cold, and the extreme danger of sniping in the valley left a deep impression on him.
This thought was just a moment, and in the next moment, he stepped on it with one foot, and stepped heavily on the hard stone floor, boom!
With just one kick, the square hard stone slab cracked through it, raised the corners of the board, and slaughtered the officers and soldiers who pounced on them!
When he wandered around the encirclement, he seemed to be relaxed and casual, but in fact, he was relying on his unusually fast speed and powerful jīng to control zhì force, so he needed such a strong and domineering kick to stop his body in a state of high-speed transportation.
The slate cracked, and in an instant, his people became unusually still from extreme speed.
The transition between these two extremes made the air around him tear for no reason.
The besieging officers and soldiers who had been following him like undulating waves did not follow him at this moment, and fell forward very wolfly, leaving three feet of open space in front of Fan Xian.
The sound of the wind breaking through the tuk tuk did not enter the soil, and Fan Xian's feet were like raw crops, giving birth to dozens of yΔ«n sen's terrible crossbow arrows, and it was dangerous that they did not enter his body.
And his right hand was still stabbed flat, and the corpse of the official hanging on the dagger was suddenly slowed down and violently shook forward, and his body cut through the sharp black dagger, and half of his body was cut with a hiss, and he fell heavily to the ground, shocking countless blood water!
And the officers and soldiers behind Fan Xian couldn't hold their feet, and directly bumped into him who was suddenly still!
He elbowed back.
With two muffled sounds, two figures flew up, shattering in the twilight sky...... Countless shocking curves are drawn.
Before the next round of crossbow arrows came, Fan Xian glanced at the general at the end of the alley from a distance, his toes were a little on the ground, to everyone's surprise, with the two "broken shadows" that were shocked by himself, they flew out towards the alley in the opposite direction.
The general received Fan Xian's cold gaze from a distance, couldn't help but shudder, gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Wolf camp, don't let him run away." β
In mid-air, the broken flesh and bones fell to the ground, crackling.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of swishing through the air started, more than a dozen military masters climbed the corner of the eaves, and chased Fan Xian who was running on the eaves not far away.
ββββββββββββββββββββββ "I want him dead." β
In the Guangxin Palace in the palace, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess who returned to the layers of gauze tents said a word expressionlessly. In his words, he naturally refers to Fan Xian, who is now fighting guerrilla warfare with her in Kyoto, and as soon as Fan Xian does not die, the expression on the eldest princess's face is extremely difficult to show a smile.
"There seems to be something wrong with Chen Yuan's side. The eunuch beside the eldest princess whispered: "The most important thing is that there seems to be a problem with the transmission of information on the side of Dongshan Road during this time, it has been three days, and the last news has been three days ago. β
A strange flush suddenly flashed on Li Yunrui's indifferent beautiful face, and this flush was like a colorful glow on the horizon, which was hit by the night breeze and disappeared immediately, turning into the last pale before nightfall.
The corners of her lips curled slightly, and she said softly: "I just want Fan to die, and you don't have to pay attention to the Supervision Yuan." β
"Yes, Your Highness. The eunuch bowed respectfully, and then raised his head, and it turned out to be one of the eunuchs who was Emperor Qingguo's cronies back then, and the eunuch Hou who was alongside Eunuch Yao!
The eldest princess looked at Gonggong Hou's face with a smile and said, "The fire in the East Palace, you put it very well, the last fire in Kyoto, the main palace depends on how you put it." β
The battle of Dadongshan, the old eunuch Hong does not know whether he is dead or alive, and the eunuch Yao must have returned to heaven with Emperor Qing, and now the palace, the highest seniority, the most powerful, and the most trusted eunuch of the Queen Mother is this Hou Gonggong, when Fan Fu and the Liu family in order to envelop this Hou Gonggong, I don't know how much money was paid, but who would have thought that these funds fell into the void, it turned out that this person was the eldest princess from the beginning.
Emperor Qing and Fan Xian had been guessing who had set the fire in the East Palace, but they never thought of Gonggong Hou.
Gonggong Hou bowed down and said respectfully: "The slave will ask the Queen Mother to issue an order, but the slave himself does not have much power to speak, at most the Queen Mother can give a decree to the forbidden army and join the search and arrest ......" He raised his head and glanced at the eldest princess cautiously: "It's just that His Royal Highness also knows that all the forces we can move have moved, and the forbidden army also appeared in Sheep Onion Lane before, but they didn't move, and the eldest prince obviously had other thoughts." β
The eldest princess said calmly: "We can't move the forbidden army. β
Gonggong Hou said tentatively: "Although there is a big incident in the Taiji Hall today, and now more than forty ministers have been arrested and imprisoned, the Queen Mother's meaning has not changed. Now that it has been determined that the crown prince will take over the throne...... Look, can you move the position of the eldest prince?"
"You let me talk to the queen mother?" the eldest princess said with a slight mockery: "Don't make this plan, now that the Kyoto garrison is in my hands, the thirteen city gate divisions are still swaying from side to side, and the armies of the Qin family and the Ye family are only a few trips away from Beijing...... If even the commander of the forbidden army has changed, how can my mother rest assured?"
"As long as Ning Cairen is honest in the Hanguang Palace, the forbidden army will be with the prince. The eldest princess said indifferently: "The queen mother must always seek some balance, otherwise wouldn't she be worried that the palace will destroy this imperial city in the future?"
Gonggong Hou was cold in his heart and didn't dare to say anything more.
"Fan Xian is sick. The eldest princess continued to smile and said: "The palace catches his illness, he can't stay away from Kyoto, he can only stay in Kyoto, the palace wants to see, and when the dozens of ministers can't stand it, the officials of Taichang Temple and the Ministry of Rites can't stand it, the prince is justifiably ascending the throne, he, a thief, still wants to survive." β
Gonggong Hou glanced at the eldest princess in awe, and said with a small meaning: "It's a pity that when the queen mother gave the order, the little concubine with the blood of Lord Xiao Fan escaped somehow. β
"It's not an escape. The eldest princess's eyes narrowed slightly, and her long eyelashes blinked slightly, "Someone is protecting him...... But this palace is very curious, the person who has no master can still protect himself now. β
"Your Highness is clever. β
"There's nothing to count, you have to prepare, maybe...... In two days, I will be out of the palace. The eldest princess said with a smile, but she didn't know why she chose to leave the palace.
Gonggong Hou smiled flatteringly and said, "That slave will return to Hanguang Hall at this time." β
"Go ahead. The eldest princess said, "Let my mother's heart be stronger." β
"Yes. β
Father-in-law Hou went according to the order, walked through the dead and silent palace, listened to the sad sound that faintly fell in his ears, returned to the Hanguang Palace, and said a few words in front of the Queen Mother, looking at the old Queen Mother's gray hair, depressed expression, unbearable jΔ«ng god, this father-in-law sighed in his heart, secretly thinking that the Queen Mother was also a very powerful figure back then, but now she can only focus on maintaining the peace of the court, but she can't take too much courage, and she has followed the eldest princess many years ago, which is really a very wise choice.
Guangxin Palace.
After the Hou father-in-law left, the eldest princess lowered her eyes slightly, and whispered a few words to her cronies, as if she was going to send a message somewhere outside the palace, and a few of the words could be faintly heard, which should be related to the situation outside Kyoto.
Then she sat silently and lonely for a while, clapped her palms, and a palace maid respectfully arched or guarded a man and a woman, walked in from the back of Guangxin Palace, and sat down beside her.
The eldest princess smiled slightly, and whispered to the daughter beside her who was not similar to herself: "Chen'er, mother has found Fan Xian." β
Lin Wan'er lowered her head slightly, biting her lower lip gently, but she was not shocked by these words, and she didn't even raise her head.
The eldest princess's brows furrowed slightly, as if she felt a trace of unprovoked anger at her daughter's emotional reaction, and said in a deep voice: "Fan Xian is a mouse, but if he really cares about you, then he will naturally come to the palace." β
Lin Wan'er raised her head with a bang, her flat eyes were extremely gentle, and her eyes were cold and indifferent, she looked at her mother, as if there were two knives in her eyes cutting at her mother's heart, and said word by word: "You took me out of the Hanguang Palace...... I thought you still had a mother-daughter relationship, but it turned out to be ...... but used his daughter as bait. β
Lin Wan'er said calmly: "But yes, my uncle has said many times that you are a madman, and you can't do things like ordinary people...... Don't worry, I won't blame you. β
She laughed softly, looking very calm: "For a madman like you, resentment is a superfluous feeling. β
"Really?" Li Yunrui slowly closed his eyes, "You were born to me, of course you have no right to blame me...... Sisi, that cheap woman, isn't she living well outside now? Why does your Fan Mansion only protect her, but not you? You have to complain, and you also blame your father-in-law and your father-in-law. β
Lin Wan'er's legs trembled slightly, and said, "You made a mistake, maybe everyone didn't expect that you would do something to your daughter." β
There was a metal crashing sound under her legs, as if she had been shackled by someone!
............ Li Yunrui said calmly: "If Fan Xian dies, everything will be easy to do." β
"Yes, it's a pity that you will never be able to kill him, and since he can come back alive from Dadong Mountain, he will definitely live well. A hint of confidence appeared on Lin Wan'er's face.
The eldest princess's brows furrowed: "Some people's lives and deaths are not controlled by themselves. I have never worried about my good son-in-law, even if he has lived so glamorously in the world for the past two years, I still don't worry. β
She glanced at her daughter, and then at Dabao, who was sitting next to her daughter, shrunk her shoulders in fear, her mouth trembling subconsciously, and a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes.
"I know my son-in-law too well. Li Yunrui said indifferently: "As long as you and Dabao are here, what way out can he have except die?"
"Oh, I didn't expect my mother to think of Ann...... It will be so affectionate. Lin Wan'er looked into her mother's eyes calmly, "I am his wife, and I don't expect him to be stupid enough to give up his life because of your methods, but I don't know where your confidence comes from." β
"You don't understand, everyone doesn't. The eldest princess said calmly: "Fan Xian may be a person who is hypocritical to the bones, but for some people around him, it is extremely hot. β
She paused and said with a smile: "I won't underestimate him, I will be ready for him to really turn over." In a few days, he might have the opportunity to turn the palace upside down...... So I'll take you and Dabao out of the palace and let him get into this bucket by himself. β
Lin Wan'er looked at her quietly: "It seems that Mother has mastered the Thirteen City Gate Divisions, and the armies of the Qin and Ye families can enter Beijing at any time." β
The eldest princess was slightly stunned, and then laughed: "My daughter, really like me, sees things very accurately." β
Lin Wan'er lowered her head slowly, she knew that Fan Xian would definitely find a way to go deep into the belly of the palace, borrow the forbidden army of the eldest prince and his inside line in the palace, and turn the sky upside down in one fell swoop, but she didn't expect that her mother didn't care about the gains and losses of the palace at all, but instead had the idea of letting all the hostile forces fall into the deep palace and then counterattack by heavy troops.
"What do you want?" Lin Wan'er suddenly raised her head and said with a hint of mockery: "It makes no difference to you whether the crown prince or the second brother is the emperor, but what do you want?"
"What do I want?" The eldest princess suddenly squinted, stared at a certain wall in Guangxin Palace, and said after a long silence: "I want everyone in the world to know that in this world, some women can do some extraordinary things without men. β
She looked back at her daughter and said quietly: "No man is nothing, after Fan Xian's death, you are the same high-ranking county lord, so you don't need to start grieving in advance." β
"I don't know what will happen to me when my man dies, if I will be uncontrollable in my grief. β
Lin Wan'er suddenly laughed, took the soft left hand of the eldest brother beside her, lowered her head, and didn't look at her mother, "But I know, mother, you ...... When you don't have a man, you're really crazy, so keep these teachings for yourself. β
"Presumptuous!" the eldest princess's beautiful face turned cold, "What bastards!"
"Isn't it?" Lin Wan'er said calmly and mockingly: "Uncle is trying to strangle you on that wall? Uncle is now killed by you, are you happy and aggrieved, and you want to scratch your face?"
"I'm not a person who doesn't know anything. Lin Wan'er sneered and said, "It's just that I'm disgusted with these things." So, mother...... You're essentially a poor person who can't live without a man, so why put on a show?"
............ After a period of silence, the eldest princess suddenly said indifferently: "You are my daughter after all, and you have not brought any benefits, just by provoking me, will I kill you?"
"But I must admit that your words are very destructive. She suddenly sighed, gently stroked her daughter's slightly thin cheeks, and said, "I haven't been with you long enough, so I didn't find out that my good daughter turned out to be such a powerful horn." β
Lin Wan'er looked at her eyes quietly, and said after a while: "I am a person with no strength, so I can only use words. Maybe you'll succeed, but you're not going to make me admire you in the slightest. β
She was calm, proudly confident, her lips tightly closed.
Suddenly, Dabao muttered softly beside her, "Sister, you pinched my hand painfully." β
The eldest princess laughed, and then said softly: "Good daughter, don't be so angry, I will let Fan Xian die in front of you, and when the time comes, you will be even more angry." β
She gently patted Lin Wan'er's cold cheek.
ββββββββββββββββββββββ Fan Xian found himself caught in the ocean of the people's war, even if eighty percent of the people of Kyoto thought that they had been wronged, but there were still twenty percent of the people who really regarded themselves as heinous traitors who colluded with foreign countries and became mad traitors.
There are so many people in Kyoto that even if it's only 20%, it's enough to form a terrifying force.
Looking at those people who beat gongs and drums, shouted that the government officials and sergeants came to arrest them, and ran in the streets and alleys, Fan Xian couldn't help but want to scold his mother, and couldn't help but want to take a loudspeaker to ask those Qingguo people who had worshiped themselves as poets and immortals in previous years.
If Lao Tzu is really a bastard, what will he do when he goes back to Kyoto?
And he didn't imagine at all that although his Supervision Yuan was closely watched by the inner court, those secret agents in one place would always deliberately make some mess to help him, but even so, when he fled to this time, he still did not get rid of the pursuit of the eldest princess.
Those dozen or so military masters are really a headache. What's even more troublesome is those officials and criminal officials of Kyoto Prefecture, these people have been fighting in Kyoto all the year round, have a close relationship with the people, and spare no effort to hunt down, so that a strong man like Fan Xian can't keep lurking for more than a quarter of an hour.
Fan Xian leaned against a courtyard wall, squinted at the darker and darker night in the world, saw the bright moon in the sky, couldn't help frowning, and began to curse God and this Qingguo's exceptionally good environmental protection work.
Under the bright moon and clear light, facing the largest number of people and the most rigorous search in Kyoto's history, Fan Xian was also sure that he could disappear into the sea of mansions.
The slightly cool courtyard wall penetrated into his heart and lungs, calming his feelings a little, and also made him cough twice, the injury was not healed, and he forcibly mobilized his domineering true qi, even if he was beaten with iron, he also felt a little tired.
The sound of noisy soldiers and horses and shouts came from the street not far away, and it should be another enthusiastic patriotic citizen who was pointing out the direction of Fan Xian's escape to the government.
If it was just a escape, Fan Xian had enough self-confidence that he could even fight guerrilla warfare with the eldest princess in Kyoto for half a month, but he was sure that he would not be caught, and he could even slowly assassinate those important enemies one by one, such as ChΕ«n dreaming of no trace.
But...... His wife and relatives are under house arrest in the palace, and outside the palace, he has some scruples, and must hurry up to find a place where he can be calm, contact his own forces, obtain precious information, and follow the right path of retreat.
And at the moment, the eldest princess's persistent pursuit is obviously impossible for him to find a stable temporary residence.
Regarding the exposure of his whereabouts, Fan Xian didn't suspect anything in his heart, but he was in a hurry all the way, and he didn't have time to think about it.
The sound of people outside was closer, and there was the sound of horses, Fan Xian glanced back at the dead corner in the alley, grabbed the wall with his left hand, and was really lucky, picked off a few pieces of gravel, and bounced towards the wall at the dead corner.
There was a soft crack, and there were a few more inconspicuous marks on the wall at the dead end, as if someone had crawled over there.
Fan Xian's fingers flexed, and the whole person floated up like a big bird, turning towards the side of the courtyard wall.
He had already found out that behind the wall of this courtyard was a good mansion, and it should be an official family. He decided to take a gamble to see if he could find an acquaintance he could trust, and even if he couldn't, he would try to hide.
Climb over the courtyard wall, walk through the rockery, go up to the second floor, and enter a room full of books. The sound of soldiers and horses outside the courtyard became louder and louder, Fan didn't have time to think, turned the bookshelf, and a black dagger was placed on a person's neck.
Naturally, his luck was not so good, and it was impossible to find an official acquaintance he could trust in the vast crowd of people in Kyoto. But his luck wasn't that bad. He thought that this was a study, and the people in it were naturally the owners of the house, but he didn't expect that under the black dagger, there was a poor girl!
This is not a study, it is a boudoir.
