Chapter 29: Sean Gets Out of Prison
The heavy iron door was slowly opened, and the cardinal, which had been oiled and maintained, did not make a creaking sound, but this silent pressure made everyone in the Supervision House guarding the door begin to feel nervous.
Fan Xian lowered his head slightly, and his left eyelid jumped twice. He felt a faint aura coming from behind the iron gate, as if the person who should have been seventy or eighty years old, should just be a big man living on the yellow paper of history, and after being imprisoned for twenty years, he still exuded the breath of a spy leader from his bones.
The sound of the iron rope dragging on the stone road was a little harsh, and the sound was getting louder and louder, which meant that the person inside was getting closer and closer to the big iron gate of the house.
Fan Xian raised his head, looked at the big iron gate with a calm face, and thought to himself how Chen Pingping led the black cavalry to raid thousands of miles during the Second Northern Expedition, and captured Sean who secretly returned to his hometown to attend the wedding back to Northern Qi.
After Sean was captured by Qingguo, Qingguo went on another Northern Expedition, and it was not until after the three Northern Expeditions that the Northern Wei Dynasty, which was invincible at that time, was beaten to the brink, and finally split into countless small countries. The one who directly inherited the power and most of the territory of the Northern Wei Dynasty was the Northern Wei Dynasty Jiedu envoy of the year, and the founding name was Qi.
This is the origin of the Northern Qi Kingdom today, when the marshal of Zhan Qingfeng was innocently demoted, the Northern Wei Dynasty would fall apart, but in the end, it was the Zhan family who was born suddenly from this mess, this world is really a bit wonderful.
......
The spring sun gently shone through the tall trees outside the prison and spilled over the iron door of the room. The mottled streak of light was stamped on the door, and at the same time it was lightly imprinted on the old face, and the sound of the chain mopping the floor stopped abruptly, and an old sigh rang out.
Outside the iron gate, the four swordsmen from the six places of the Supervision Courtyard held the noose tightly as if facing a great enemy, and the flail in the middle was far away. There was a man in the flail, and the man had a messy head with his hair draped, and his hair was already completely white, and he looked disheveled. His wrists and feet were all shackles made of steel, but his clothes were extremely clean.
The old sigh. It was from the withered old lips that came from this person's messy hair, and after sighing, I only heard the old man sigh faintly: "The smell of sunshine has been lost for a long time." ”
This is naturally Sean, who has been imprisoned by Qingguo for twenty years, and when he saw him come out of the prison, everyone in the supervision house who was in charge of guarding around him became nervous for no reason. It seemed to smell the slightly sweet smell of blood beginning to fill the air. Fan Xian frowned slightly, feeling that this person's aura was really easy to madden. Everyone clenched their waist knives in their hands, or tightened the crossbow board with their fingers, and aimed at the tall but rickety old man.
There was a muffled bang!
The former organizer of the seven places, and now the cell boss with cloudy eyes stepped forward. There is no reason to hit Sean on the back with a stick!
Sean didn't seem to feel anything, and slowly turned his head to look at the former director of the seven departments of the Supervision Yuan. He exhaled softly and blew away the messy hair in front of him. Revealing those cold and deep eyes, and those withered lips, he said in a hoarse voice: "Old neighbor, we have lived together for twenty years, and I am leaving, so you will send me like this?"
The former host of the seven places slowly closed his eyes, lowered his hand holding the wooden stick, seemed to be a little afraid of Sean's eyes, and breathed hard twice and said: "These are juniors, why do you provoke them? If the children miss and kill you at this time, I don't think you will be reconciled." ”
Ken blinked slowly, glancing at the beautiful young man in the crowd surrounding him. Fan Xian found that the other party was looking at him, forcibly stabilized his mind with his true qi, and smiled slightly.
Sean was a little surprised that such a young junior was so calm, shook his head slightly, and said to the cell leader: "I left Qingguo, and you don't have to stay in the prison anymore." But I think you'd love to see me die, or I'll find a way for you to repay me after twenty years of companionship. ”
The cell boss was expressionless: "I wish you a smooth journey and never come back." ”
Sean hissed and laughed, "I will definitely come back." He looked at the cell boss's face and whispered word by word: "As many punishments you have used on me, I will use them on your children in the same way." ”
The cell leader closed his eyes tightly, knowing that if Sean could regain control of the dark power of Northern Qi, then it would be extremely difficult for him to have the ability to protect his family if he specifically retaliated against himself.
Sean laughed loudly, and the heavy chains on his body began to rattle, as if he was also afraid that this terrible figure was about to be freed.
Everyone in the Supervision House was extremely nervous, only Fan Xian listened to the resentment in the other party's laughter, and in addition to being slightly nervous, he narrowed his eyes, still very puzzled why the eldest princess was playing this hand.
......
The air outside the prison was tense, and it seemed that a faint glow of blood was emanating from the body of the man in the shackles.
At that moment, there was a creaking sound, and the ordinary, black wheelchair slowly approached the flail.
It was Fei Jie who was pushing the wheelchair, and Chen Pingping was sitting in the wheelchair.
The sound of the wheelchair rolling was not loud, but it was like a Buddhist bell, freeing everyone from their nervous emotions. When everyone saw the dean coming, they breathed a sigh of relief at the same time for no apparent reason.
Facing Sean nervously, because he didn't know what this legendary character would do once he got out of the prison.
As soon as Chen Pingping came, everyone was relieved, because all the officials of the Supervision Yuan deeply believed that as long as Dean Chen was in one day, Sean would not be able to rebel against the sky.
Chen Pingping slowly raised her head, looked at the old acquaintance in the flail, and said softly: "What are you laughing at?" There was a hint of disdain in the words, a hint of fun,
Sean, who was full of messy hair, looked at Chen Pingping in a wheelchair, and suddenly said, "I laughed at your legs, ruined in my hands." ”
Chen Pingping smiled and shook her head: "I thought you were laughing at your miserable life, you have been imprisoned by me for 20 years, what else do you need to say? I am the winner, you are the loser, this is a fact that history has long been doomed, and you can never change it." ”
Sean roared angrily, his white hair scattered backwards like a sword, and in a rage, he took two steps forward, and the chains shook violently, and the four six-place swordsmen who were pulling the heavy flail worked hard to hold him.
Chen Pingping was not nervous at all, looked at him pitifully and said, "At such an old age, why are you still so angry?"
Sean suddenly closed his eyes and stood up to the sky, and after a long time, his eyes opened, and he said awe-inspiringly: "Chen Pingping, do you really dare to let me go back to the north?"
Chen Pingping smiled and said: "Go back and take care of the elderly, be safer, now I am also an old arm and old leg, I am too lazy to run so far to catch you back." ”
Sean's voice was as sharp as a knife, and his old timbre was like rust on a knife, scraping everyone's ears: "My son died at your hands at the wedding, and I don't think you will have any chance to catch me again." ”
Chen Pingping beckoned, Fan Xian walked over with a smile on his face, and the closer he got to Sean, the more he felt the other party's natural coldness, but his face remained unchanged.
"We are already old, what else can you do? In case we want to arrest you in the future......" Chen Pingping smiled and said: "Sean, his name is Fan Xian, he is my successor, I am going to the north, I will accompany you all the way, I think you will not be lonely." ”
Sean turned sideways slightly, the flail collided with the iron cables on his hands and feet, and the old man looked at the young, delicate official of the Supervision Yuan through the hair in front of him, and did not speak for a long time. Fan Xian saw the lingering resentment in Sean's eyes at this time.
Fei Jie, who was pushing a wheelchair, said slowly: "Lord Sean, I gave the poison at that wedding. Coincidentally, Fan Xian was my student. ”
Chen Pingping and Fei Jie smiled at the same time, and Fan Xian smiled just rightly and said: "Senior Sean, so if there is anything in the future, naturally I will accompany you." ”
Sean laughed twice, but there was no trace of happiness in the laughter, just cold and bloody. The biggest fiasco in his life was due to Chen Pingping and Fei Jie, but he didn't expect that the young man who escorted him back to the north on this trip would have such a deep relationship with them. He looked at Fan Xian slightly sideways, and said word by word: "You are still too tender, you have to pay more attention on the road." ”
Fan Xian bowed politely: "Along the way, I will learn from my predecessors."
――――――
The fine grass beside the road is like jasper silk, the sky on the side of the convoy hangs low spring branches, the silent convoy left the prison of the Supervision Yuan, and went to Qiancheng along Tianhe Avenue, along the way there was already a guard set up by the Yamen of the City Patrol Division, the long street was empty, only the soldiers everywhere guarded, and some crossbowmen in six places were faintly visible in the distance, occupying some eaves.
The side gate of the imperial city was closed, and the Ouchi Commander Gong Dian looked indifferently at the train fleet on the long street in the distance, and suddenly said, "I appreciate Fan Xian very much. ”
The general beside him frowned and said, "My lord?"
The corners of Gong Dian's lips curled slightly and said, "You haven't dealt with Sean, so you don't know how dangerous this trip is." Fan Xian is now famous all over the world, and there is no need for him to go to Northern Qi, but this kid actually has the courage to respond to this errand...... I do admire him. ”
......
Fan Xian sat in the first carriage and closed his eyes to recuperate, the real envoy had left Kyoto yesterday, and his own group and his own envoy were dragged to the end because of the secret agreement of using Sean to exchange Bingyun. He had stopped the ridiculous idea of his family coming to see him off last night, and his whole mind was on the task of the trip.
Fan Xian seemed to be about to fall asleep with the ups and downs of the carriage, but he was thinking about many things in his heart, in addition to Sean, the red sleeve plan of the manager was also very tricky. Only then did he think that the soft woman who had been grinding all night was in the carriage behind, and he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
At this moment, the carriage was jolted, and he knew that the carriage had run over the stone ridge at the north gate of Kyoto......
