Chapter Ninety-Five: The Pit
(I've been having some heart palpitations lately, and it's hard to concentrate on writing, so I beg your pardon, I'll take a day out next week to comfort myself and take a day off in advance, thank you.) Regarding the book review section, I don't mind criticizing, really, of course agreeing with it or not. Regardless of whether you are on the right side or against the other side, you can say anything, but can you be gentle? Please try to maintain peace in the book review area, please excuse me. )

......
It is by the West Lake in Hangzhou, when it is almost dusk, the lake and mountains are all integrated into the golden light, indescribably beautiful. In this twilight, Fan Xian, who was alone, came to a hill by the lake, looked at the young man holding a green flag, turned his head and said, "I heard that you have been telling fortunes in Hangzhou recently, and you have been favored by some young ladies?"
The young man holding the green flag was naturally the closed disciple of the Sigu Sword in Dongyi City, the nine-rank master who helped Fan Xian kill Yan Shendu. Regarding the existence of this person, and the help he gave him later, Fan Xian has always felt a little ridiculous, just like those avant-garde dramas he had heard of in his previous life, no matter how he tasted it, he felt a peculiar smell in his mouth.
Although the idiot of Sigu Jian seems to think clearly, but in fact, Fan Xian always feels that this matter is too nonsense, although few people in the world know the relationship between Wang Shisanlang and Sigu Jian, but if Fan Xian turns his face and refuses to admit it, how can Sigu Jian explain to the eldest princess or Yan Xiaoyi?
Wang Shisanlang's face was facing the direction of the West Lake, and the faint golden light reflected his handsome face, plated with a layer of pleasant light, extremely gentle.
"Now, the whole Jiangnan knows that I am a master of your personal belonging. The young man smiled kindly and said, "Naturally, those officials will also give me some thin noodles, this fortune-telling business." Of course, it's not much worse. ”
A light breeze blew on the lake, and the green trees went up along the hill, only slightly driving the corner of the green banner in the hand of Thirteen Lang, but it happened to reveal the word iron phase.
After experiencing the turmoil of China Merchants Qianzhuang's encroachment on the Ming family's shares, the people who were in Mingyuan at that time had already guessed it. This young man standing behind the shopkeeper of China Merchants Money Village must be the master of Xiao Fan's use to spy on Qian Zhuang.
Lord Qincha's henchman is naturally mixed in the south of the Yangtze River.
"Fortunately, you have no habit of harming the girls of good families. Fan Xian smiled, stood beside him, and glanced at him. There was a mixed emotion in my heart.
The green hills on the lakeside, the surface of the lake reflects the golden light. Smooth face. This scene made Fan Xian think of many years ago. On the cliff of Shanzhou, the man closest to him in the world seemed to be surrounded by a ball of light.
The man with a black cloth seemed to be saying goodbye to a certain place, what about Thirteen Lang? Fan Xian subconsciously shook his head, not understanding why he always had a habit of associating this brother with the blind uncle.
He misses Wuzhu very much. Especially in such a stable situation in Jiangnan, he didn't know if Uncle Wuzhu's injuries had healed. Even Chen Pingping didn't know where Wuzhu was hiding to recuperate.
And what kind of injury actually has to be recuperated for more than a year?
Fan Xian's brows furrowed.
Wang Shisanlang glanced at him curiously. asked, "Master Fan, do you have something on your mind?"
"Yes. Fan Xian did not hesitate. Directly said: "I need your help with something." ”
"What's the matter?"
"I am walking towards the prince in the direction of Nanzhao, and the road is full of poisonous fog and the road is difficult. I'm a little worried about his body. Fan Xian said calmly.
Wang Shisanlang frowned slightly. His breathing was a little heavier, and after thinking for a long time, he said slowly: "Forbidden Army, Supervision Yuan and Qingguo Tiger Guard, this kind of defense is so tight, even if I die, I may not be able to get close to him." ”
Fan Xian laughed: "You misunderstood what I meant. ”
Wang Shisanlang looked at him. Silent.
"Bring him the antidote pill for me. Fan Xian bowed his head slightly. It seems that he is hiding from the increasingly dense golden light on the surface of the lake, "Secretly protect him for me and ensure his safety along the way." ”
Wang Shisanlang's brows furrowed even tighter, and he didn't understand why Fan Xian suddenly threw out this task, and after hesitating for a while. He said softly: "Why? With my understanding of the situation in Qingguo Kyoto, the eldest princess is imprisoned, the crown prince is obviously about to lose power, and under the emperor of Qingguo, there is no one to compete with you." ”
Fan Xian smiled, not knowing how to explain, so he simply didn't explain.
"What happened in Kyoto?" Wang Shisanlang asked curiously like a child, "This matter can't have anything to do with you, right?"
He subconsciously used your honorific title. But Fan Xian took a sip and said angrily: "I'm in Jiangnan, no matter how long my hand is, I can stretch it out to Kyoto." ”
Wang Shisanlang thought about it, agreed with his explanation, scratched his head and said, "But...... The crown prince went all the way south, it seems that your majesty seems to have some ideas, Lord Fan, you want me to protect him, didn't you guess something? But if I guess right...... Now that I have become a secret known to everyone, aren't you worried about openly opposing your majesty?"
"Excuse me, don't guess. Fan Xian sighed, "This matter has nothing to do with Your Majesty, it is purely a request from Wan'er in a letter, after all, I am also half a child of the royal family, and I always have to pay some." ”
Wang Shisanlang smiled, knowing that he was telling a lie, but he didn't expose it.
Fan Xian frowned and glanced at him, and said, "Don't laugh like a rabbit, it seems that at this time, you are not a fool......
Wang Shisanlang spread his hands and said, "When have I ever been stupid?"
"When I killed Brother Little Arrow. At this time, Fan Xian had already learned from the mouth of Thirteen Lang about the specific process of the night attack on the Yuantai camp, and knew the courage of Thirteen Lang that day, and made countless sighs, and repeated again at this time, "Warrior...... It's easy to die. ”
Wang Shisanlang laughed at himself: "I'm probably only used to this kind of fighting. ”
Somehow, Fan Xian suddenly thought of Lin Qingxia's fierce brother, laughed to himself absurdly, and then gently patted Wang Shisanlang's shoulder in his blank eyes: "Your master asked you to follow me, presumably for many years later...... In that case, let's spare some lives...... Nanzhao that line. It's good that you follow secretly, and it's best if you don't make a move. ”
He was silent for a moment and then said: "I don't mean to coerce you, it's just that the Ming family is now in my hands, and the power of the East Road of the Inner Treasury Bank is also in my hands, you should know that in the past two months, I have cooperated well with the Lingshi." So please do me this little favor. ”
......
......
Seeing the green banner disappear into the golden willow by the lake, Fan Xian fell silent, squatted down, and sat on the green hill. Look at the beautiful West Lake and the broken bridge that does not exist and never exists in a daze.
If Wang Qinian, who knows the inside story, knows about his arrangement. He must have been scared half to death, thinking that he was suffering from madness. However, Fan Xian was clear. I am not crazy, I used to beat the prince down, because if the prince succeeded to the throne, he would not have a good life.
At this time, to save the prince's life, it is to create trouble for Emperor Qingguo - because once the eldest princess and the crown prince are completely burped, there is no buffer between him and the emperor, and the reduction of power is something that is about to come. And Fan Xian is more worried about the safety of Chen Pingping and Fan Jiandi.
Fan Xian knew it in his heart. Emperor Qingguo was a person of great fame, and he could be observed very well from this palace incident. A royal scandal, the emperor did not hesitate to kill hundreds of people in the palace in order to cover up the matter. also threw out the details of the East China Sea Massacre, which had been pressed under the case for a long time, and betrayed Yan Bingyundi.
In this way, there is a very real reason for the fall of the eldest princess, but the emperor has to make so many detours, which shows that he does not want his reputation to be damaged in the slightest, this is not a scandal of the royal family, this is a scandal of the eldest princess, that's all.
And the arrangement of the crown prince also shows this, the emperor must have a headache about how to abolish the prince, he is unwilling to slap himself, the prince has behaved so pure and good in the past two years, what excuse can the emperor find?
In the Nanzhao Xing, many things will definitely happen, and the variable of Fan Xian Sect Wang Shisanlang is to digest some of those things.
Fan Xian was not stupid enough to protect the crown prince again, he just wanted to create some small trouble for the emperor, so that the emperor would not notice himself so early, notice the Merchants Money Village, and think about the two old men behind him.
He misses Uncle Wuzhu, and he knows that in the world of Qingguo, there are many people he cares about, and for the sake of these people, he must stay here. If it's just Fan Xian himself, he is really not afraid of anything and doesn't worry, even if he breaks with Emperor Lao Tzu, he can be very arrogant and pretend to be B and give the middle finger to the imperial city.
In the eyes of the second prince and many smart people, everything around Fan Xian is actually some power on paper, and it is not vulnerable at all. He himself knows that the people of this world have a natural worship of imperial power, not to mention the Supervision Yuan, even his Qi Nian group, Xiao Yan Gongzi, who is far away in Kyoto, may stand on the opposite side of himself because of a will.
However, even if everything around him was taken away by the emperor's will, he would not be afraid, and he would not be taken by the second child.
Because he has the heart of a modern person who has stopped for a long time, he has never had the slightest awe of such things as imperial power, because he has the ability to consult with Qiye and sort out a process flow of the inner library, because he himself is a master of nine products who is good at killing.
He also has a box, an imperial concubine of 419, and an uncle with five embroideries.
Fan Xian sat silently on the green hill by the West Lake, squinting at the red twilight clouds in the distance, thinking to himself, if one day he was forced to give the middle finger to that imperial city, what a spectacular scene it would be!
Qingguo is the first powerful country in the world, and the eldest princess Li Yunrui has hidden behind the emperor of Qingguo in the past ten years, and has done many things, secretly shadowing countless benefits of the other two major forces, such as the murder of Fan Shilang's illegitimate son under the pretext of the assassins of Northern Qi and Dongyi City, and then started a war and seized a large territory of Northern Qi, such as selling Yan Bingyun to Northern Qi with his backhand in exchange for Sean's return to the north, but it disturbed the Northern Qi court for a great chaos, and the conflict between the two parties of the emperor and queen restarted.
But what is wonderful is that the eldest princess has always maintained a good relationship with the Empress Dowager of Northern Qi and the Sigu Sword of Dongyi City, and there is even a lot of cooperation in the inner library.
I don't know what those foreign people think.
But no matter how you think about it, the eldest princess's sudden confinement has brought a violent shock to many places in the world, making many people start to think about some things, such as Fan Xian began to shift his strategic focus to the Son of Heaven.
In the two places of Northern Qi and Dongyi City, those people who are high above will naturally give their own judgments.
The great master in Dongyi City sent his most proud closed disciple to Fan Xian's side, but he didn't know that this closed disciple was sent by Fan Xian to be a bodyguard again. Of course, he doesn't care about this now, he just cares about the eldest princess being imprisoned.
The spring is strong, the spring is strong, but Dongyi City, which is located on the seaside, is full of salty and wet taste, and the warm current wind on the sea blows so gently all year round, so the people in the city do not have too much gratitude for this spring.
In the middle of Dongyi City, is the mansion of the city lord, covering an extremely wide area, the city lord is responsible for commanding a specific business in the city, this big city with prosperous commerce, the so-called government affairs, in fact, is also business, public security and other problems rarely appear, because no Jiangyang thief dares to shoot in the place where the most nine masters in the whole world.
Except for Wang Qinian, who was still young at the time.
Everyone knows that the place that really guides the direction of Dongyi City and determines the survival of Dongyi City is not in the City Lord's Mansion, but in the continuous grass outside the city.
The grass hut is wound into a concave shape, and the strange thing is that the opening is not facing the main road, but leaning against the mountain behind it. If someone wants to enter this grassland, they need to go around to the back of the mountain and go down the mountain road.
According to legend, this is the easiest way to test the visitor.
In the middle of the concave grass house, there is a big pit, and the pit is full of sword branches left by the masters who once came to challenge the Sigu Sword and consult the Sigu Sword, stabbing towards the sky like a chaotic forest.
The great master who has just come out of the house is not so easy to be.
Fortunately, this trend of challenge has finally ended after that big pit has gradually become full, and no one will be stupid enough to challenge the Sigu Sword again, as for those who are really that stupid...... He died in the grass house.
This is the holy place that martial arts practitioners all over the world worship, admire, never forget, and yearn for...... Jianlu.
It is also called a sword mound.
It's beautiful, it's a name of the realm.
However, Sigu Jian would only use one name to describe the holy place next to his residence - the sword pit.
"It's a pit. A mocking voice came from the grass house, and the owner of the voice seemed to be very young: "That bastard of Emperor Qingguo, and that crazy woman Li Yunrui, am I really an idiot?"
Outside the grass house, Yun Zhilan, a famous swordsman, knelt honestly under the stone steps, listening to this somewhat young voice.
