Shizi Li Hongcheng waited for a long time, and found that the person he was waiting for had not yet come, and he couldn't help laughing at himself, thinking that this Fan Gongzi's frame was really big, and there were few people who were qualified to make their own Chinese military officials. As soon as I thought about these things in Beijing, I secretly admired this Fan Xian not long after entering Beijing, and the movement was not small, throwing out a few poems caused a small shock in the literary world, and hitting a person in the middle of the night caused a shock in the officialdom, as for the marriage with the illegitimate daughter of the prime minister, it was a big shock to the hearts of those who are qualified to know the inside story.

Just thinking about it, Fan Xian had already shouted from afar, saluting and walking over quickly, he didn't mean to let Shizi wait, but he was discussing some things about the bookstore with the shopkeeper of Qingyutang before, so he delayed. The two young men sat down a few times apart, took a few sips of tea, and began to get down to business.

The first to speak, of course, was Fan Xian, who had to thank the other party for what happened that night. Hearing him thank him, the prince Li Hongcheng laughed, and said warmly: "I thought at the time, we only know each other for a few years, why are you willing to charter the whole Drunken Immortal Residence to entertain me, it turns out that you have this idea in your heart...... But it doesn't matter, Guo Baokun's straw bag is not a name among the prince's housekeepers, but the old man at home still has some knowledge, you can beat it, where can you use so many bends. ”

Fan Xian knew that Shizi was talking about his actions in the court, and laughed at himself: "Isn't this inexperienced? If I had known that it was so easy to beat people in Kyoto, I would have punched it in the palace garden." ”

Li Hongcheng was taken aback, and hurriedly shook the small silk gold fan in his hand: "That's unacceptable, things are too out of line, and it's not good for me to come forward to protect you." ”

Fan Xian smiled, thanked him again, and then asked Shizi what instructions he had to come here. Li Hongcheng groaned slightly, and said: "I can't hide this matter from you, with the relationship between our two families, I also have to make it clear." Originally, the second prince wanted me to let you go to meet and ask for a natural meeting, so as not to disgust you, but this approach is still a lie to you, so I made it clear that the second prince will hold a banquet on the Liujing River tomorrow, and invite you to one, I will just accompany you. ”

Fan Xian frowned and said: "I really don't understand this, how noble the status of the second prince is, I am a mere talent, where can I get into his eyes." ”

"Do you really don't understand or are you pretending to be confused?" Li Hongcheng pointed to his nose and laughed, "It's really a failure to make a play like you." ”

Fan Xian smiled awkwardly, but did not answer.

Li Hongcheng noticed that there were no idle people around the flower hall, and said: "It's still the same sentence, I felt happy when I first saw you, and I couldn't bear to hide it from you, it seems that I feel that this kind of method will inevitably make you and me angry, you also know that although His Majesty is still in the peak of autumn, but the so-called things have no foresight, there must be near-term worries, so the eyes of everyone in the court are always on those princes." The eldest prince was born with martial arts, but he led the troops outside. Although the crown prince is born to the queen, he has always been misbehaved. Although I Jingwangfu is impartial, I tell you the truth, among these princes, my friendship with the second prince is better. ”

Fan Xian was taken aback, thinking to himself, how could this matter be completely different from what he expected? When he looked at the February River in his previous life, those princes spoke all the simple words into complex, and they couldn't wait to put on eighty clothes so as not to be truthful, how could they be like the one in front of him, who made his words clear at the beginning, this matter of seizing the heir is going to lose his head, why do you dare to run naked and shout?

seemed to find that his words frightened the other party, Li Hongcheng smiled awkwardly and said: "Do you think I said it too bluntly? To be honest, I don't know why, I don't want to play those vain things when I look at you, yes, I am just trying to win you over for the second prince, this matter is the same as getting married, it is always a deal that you are willing to do." ”

Fan Xian was stunned, looking at Shizi's clean eyes, as if he wanted to see something hidden from them, he couldn't tell if the other party was really a gentleman with a heart like Jiyue, or a strategist who would be open and honest and use it as a means to win people's hearts. But in any case, the prince has already stood in the camp, and it is okay to run naked, and Xiao Fan Xian has neither power nor manpower in Beijing, so he categorically did not dare to take off his clothes and hug the other party, and said with a smile: "I can clearly understand, why did the second prince see me?"

"For the wedding in October. Li Hongcheng still looked very honest, and looked over with a smile, "After the big competition next year, if you show the corresponding ability, Your Majesty will hand over the management of those industries to you." For us, this is a great thing, first of all, there will be much less money in the account, and some things will be inconvenient to do. On the other hand, I believe that Master Si Nanbo has been in charge of the Qingguo Household Department for many years, and he must understand that when the old and new take over, he must check the previous accounts clearly, so there may be some surprises. ”

Fan Xian was silent, his eyebrows drooped, but he didn't look very depressed, but gave people a very peaceful and harmless feeling. He said softly: "It's still early, the marriage is not until October, and I will have to wait until next year or the year after next when I can really get my hands on those things." ”

"yes, so tomorrow it's just a meal. Li Hongcheng looked at him very seriously, "How about it be a return gift from the last incident?" You also know that when I said these things today, I really trust you...... Maybe tomorrow you see the second prince, there will be some new ideas. ”

Fan Xian smiled, thinking that the dispute between the second prince and the crown prince would not really start until more than ten years later, and now he began to pull even an inconspicuous guy like himself, and he really felt a little "rebellion started from the baby", so he responded and sent the prince out of the house. Back in his father's study, he sat in the chair next to his desk, staring at the pens in the pen holder, frowning and thinking.

That time he beat Guo Baokun, he chose the prince of King Jing as a cover, which was to give the other party a chance to win him over, because in order to survive in Kyoto, he must stand in a good team, and his father can stand on His Majesty's side forever, but he also said that the future is always a matter of the younger generation.

Fan Xian wants to stand in line, not necessarily on the side of the second prince, but ...... It must be standing opposite the crown prince. The reason is very simple, four years ago, the queen once thought about dying by herself, and four years later, these people in the palace will still want to die by herself. And in Kyoto, which is like the deep sea, it seems that he is just a little ant that will be killed at any time.

Will this ant go up a tree?

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――The venue of the second prince's banquet is still on the Liujing River, Fan Xian smiled bitterly when he heard this place, he has been spending time with Wan'er every day at night recently, although it is sweet and delicious occasionally, there is too little skin contact, after all, it is a genuine fiancée, so he is shy, and he is not too presumptuous. Thinking of his soft nephrite-like body that night, Fan Xian immediately remembered the name of the other party, and his heart couldn't help but be a little rippling, secretly recalling how the power of using intestines as condoms in the European Middle Ages in the previous life was done, and then he thought of it, on the day of the lawsuit, why did this woman leave Kyoto so coincidentally?

The security in Kyoto has always been very good, except for the recent addition of a guy from the Fan family who makes a black fist. Therefore, the carriage of Fanfu was accompanied by only four guards, and under the light of Chūn, it slowly drove towards the west of the city.

After passing the Wangchūn Gate, and walking through the bullpen street where he had ambushed and beaten people, Fan Xian lifted the curtain and smiled. Among the four guards such as Fuji Zijing, three of them had passed through the events of that day, and when they heard the young master laughing, they naturally knew what he was laughing at, and their hearts were refreshed and they laughed.

There are not many houses around Niulan Street, but there are some shops that have fallen down many years ago, so they have been nicknamed: Broken Shops, it is very quiet here, no matter day or night, there are no pedestrians, it can really be said to be the best place to block the street and knock on the stick.

Fan Xian stretched his head out of the curtain, looked at the large sycamore leaves above his head that slowly retreated, looked at the sky above his head, and thought about how he should deal with himself after seeing the second prince for a while.

As he was walking, Fan Xian's brows suddenly furrowed, I don't know why, he felt something wrong, as if he felt that there was something strange around him. He looked around as the carriage passed, and saw that there was silence and nothing out of the ordinary.

Suddenly, he twitched his nose and smelled a faint hint of sweetness.

This is the taste of "bitter forbearance", the curare extracted from one of the frogs that Xiban likes to use the most!

............ "Disperse!" Fan Xian shouted, and his body had already jumped out of the car window first, grabbing the nearest guard with one hand, and he didn't see who it was. Although his sense of smell has been extremely sensitive due to the training he has received since he was a child, since he can smell this strange fragrance, it means that the archer is close to his carriage, and this assassination without warning is about to begin!

At the moment when he jumped out of the carriage, a large stone was thrown from the back of the alley, howling in the wind, and slammed into the carriage, scattering countless pieces of wood and splashing into the air!
