Out of Cangzhou, the mission, escorted by the Black Cavalry, slowly but firmly marched northward. In fact, the Northern Qi State is not directly north of the Qing Kingdom, but in the northeast, there are a large number of independent and powerless vassal states at the junction of the two countries, and there is the largest city in the world, the most prosperous seaport - Dongyi City on the easternmost seaside.

The route chosen by the mission this time did not pass through the vassal states, because the more cities passed, the more difficult it was to prevent, of course, the implementation of the secret agreement between the two countries was even more impossible to pass through Dongyi City, in case the once demented Sigu Sword suddenly launched a madness and provoked a chaotic war between the three countries, who could bear the consequences?

So the mission went north along the wasteland, and then made a detour east at the Great Lake, although the road was a little farther, but it was quiet, and there should be no strong forces with bad intentions except for some horse thieves.

There was silence all the way, Sean was silent, Si Li was silent, and even the most important person in the mission, Fan Xian, began to be silent. Everyone's silence has their own reasons for silence.

............ Fan Xian pulled the needle out of Sean's hand and carefully studied the old man's face. Sean suddenly opened his eyes, and two cold lights in his eyes hit Fan Xian's face like a substance. He smiled slightly and said: "The younger generation is thick-skinned and not afraid of being looked at. ”

"I have a question. Sean slowly closed his eyes, "Why did you tie that cloth strap around my arm, I can guess, this method can make my blood vessels more prominent, but you are working so hard to inject venom into my blood vessels, is it necessary?"

"Yes. Fan Xian smiled, of course, intravenous shè is faster than food poisoning, no one in this world knows the method of intravenous shè, but it does not mean that Fan Xian will not, the terrifying Sean in front of him, ordinary poison will not work at all, and the true qi is too amazing, as long as the method of intravenous shè is used, the effect will be achieved.

Sean frowned, and after a while, he suddenly said, "I am somewhat familiar with this technique, and I admit that it is indeed very effective...... It's a pity that I'm probably really old, and I forgot who it was. ”

Fan Xian was shocked, but there was no reaction on his face, and said with a smile: "Mr. Xiao think slowly." ”

............Those cavalrymen in the distance, should they be those black imps under Chen Pingping?" Sean suddenly said something very ordinary.

Fan Xian was slightly stunned, thinking that there were no windows on both sides of his carriage, and the interval was interlayered with iron plates, and the other party could still know the situation of the black cavalry in the distance, which was really a bit magical, and immediately responded gently: "It is the black cavalry, the raid of thousands of miles back then, is the ancestor of this cavalry now." This is about many years ago, Chen Pingping led the black horsemen from the wedding to capture Sean and return to China.

That incident was the biggest humiliation in Sean's life, and it also brought him indelible wounds.

"When are you going to kill me?" Sean said in a very ordinary sentence, without a hint of fluctuation in his tone.

This was accompanied by a few jumpy questions, implying a kind of psychological hypnosis, if it was an ordinary person, he might subconsciously fall into the trap - but Fan Xian was not an ordinary person, he was slightly surprised and said, "What?"

Sean smiled slightly, and a faint red sè spread out in his squinted eyes: "I think, Chen Pingping should not want me to return to the north." ”

Fan Xian shook his head and said: "I have always been too lazy to think about the ideas of the older generation, as long as I do my job well." ”

"You're a nice young man. Sean looked at him silently, and slowly moved his wrist to rest the heavy chain on the table.

"Why did Mr. Xiao say that?"

"I walked together for many days along the way, and although Master Fan often stayed in the little girl's car, he did not forget his duties because of his greed for chūnsè. Sean said lightly: "The key is that you have never stopped practicing twice a day, morning and late at night, and this kind of perseverance, even if I was back then, is far inferior to you." ”

Fan Xian smiled and responded: "The stupid bird flies first, I know that my strength is not successful, and my talent is not enough, so I naturally have to practice more." ”

Sean shook his head: "Your talent is very good, your strength is already very strong, it's just that you have never challenged a real strong person alone, so you can't stimulate the real strength in your body." ”

Fan Xian quietly looked at the old man's old face, those eyes as deep as an ancient well, and couldn't help but think in his heart, could you be the first really strong person I want to face?

Out of Cangzhou City, the mission entered the jurisdiction of the Dingbei Army, where there was a grassland, and the military camp was far away from a hundred miles. Fan Xian didn't want to meet Yan Xiaoyi, the powerhouse on the ninth grade, the mission naturally made a detour, anyway, there were black horsemen along the way to protect him, and no one dared to come to this world. A few years ago, there were a few bandits who gathered in the mountains and forests to send spies to investigate, but when they saw the momentum of the mission and the black horsemen in front of them from a distance, they were so frightened that they retreated into the mountains and did not dare to go out lightly for several months.

Sean was still silent, and so was the manager, and he was gradually emaciated.

Fan Xian looked at the two escorted by him indifferently, but he didn't know what he was thinking. These days of getting along, for some reason, there is a trace of pity for the manager, one is to pity her life experience, and the other is to pity her after the encounter, but Fan Xian is confident that his mind is clear, and he will not make a big move because of a small loss, if he really has something to do with the manager, then the plan of the Supervision Yuan in Northern Qi will have a big problem.

I don't know how the young emperor of Northern Qi knew that Si Lili was still a virgin. But if the other party finds out that the manager has been **, the red sleeve plan will naturally not be effective.

But Fan Xian didn't seem to want to face the somewhat confused face of the manager, and it seemed that he didn't have a good grasp of himself, so he never got into the carriage of the manager again, but more often he would get on Sean's carriage, and get some gossip news from many years ago from the mouth of this seemingly silent old man, on the one hand, he really learned a lot from the most terrifying secret agent leader, and on the other hand, Fan Xian didn't want Sean to have too much time to arrange his back.

The dialogue between the two old and young dark characters, as the journey progresses, as the temperature outside the car decreases, it has gradually turned from the Northern Wei Dynasty to the world today.

"No one can truly dominate the world. Sean looked at him and said lightly. These days, he has also gradually adapted to the dialogue between Fan Xian and himself, and this young official named Fan Xian is indeed a good chat partner.

"Our Emperor Xià has had two chances. Once after the Third Northern Expedition. Fan Xian frowned and said: "With Qingguo's extremely strong military strength at that time, it was completely enough to go north in one fell swoop and destroy Northern Qi. ”

Sean shook his head: "Although I was already in prison at that time and didn't hear any news, but listening to your explanations these days, I think that the reason why Emperor Qingguo suddenly stopped moving forward at the beginning could only be due to two reasons, on the one hand, it was the internal problems of the government, and on the other hand, he encountered some kind of strong resistance, which made him feel that it was a very risky idea to rush north after making a trade-off." ”

Fan Xian thought about it, at that time, the affairs of the Ye family had not yet broken out, and the government was basically under the control of the emperor and his mother's subordinates, so it stands to reason that there should be no internal troubles. As for the foreign enemy...... His brows furrowed, is there any force in this world that can deter the powerful Qingguo State Machine?

"Temple. Sean seemed to guess what Fan Xian was thinking and gave a reference answer.

Fan Xian shook his head: "An object that is too illusory is not enough to resist the ambition of human beings or the desire for power, to dominate the world, and to return to one, for an emperor, the temptation is too great." ”

Sean smiled slightly and admitted his statement: "Between the north and the south, there have been wars for many years, even if Nanqing defeats the Qi State, if you want to really stabilize the situation and eliminate all the restoration forces, it will take at least ten years." What's more, don't forget about Dongyi City...... The place where the Nine Rank masters in the world are most concentrated, although this force is not enough to defend the country and open up the territory, but if it is tangled into a stick, under the leadership of the idiot of Sigu Jian, it is really possible to do something crazy. ”

"The triangle is the most stable, and the Three Kingdoms stand on their feet, which is actually the most stable structure. Fan Xian nodded, "Even if there is a difference in the strength of the three forces, whoever wants to take the lead in breaking this balance is most likely to be counterattacked." ”

"The same is true of the current court of Qingguo. Sean looked at him with a smile on his face, "The emperor, the courtiers, and the eldest princess who seems crazy in your mouth, but is actually extremely dangerous, constitute the triangle you are talking about, and whoever wants to be the first to break this balance will suffer." ”

These days, Fan Xian is not shy about it, and he has talked about some things in the Qingguo court, anyway, it is not a secret, if the old man in front of him can not die in his own hands after returning to Northern Qi, there must be many ways to know.

Fan Xian's temples ached a little, and somehow he began to miss Si Lili's gentle fingers, and said softly: "If everyone is smart enough, let's maintain the balance at the moment first." ”

"No way. Sean looked at him, "Because you did it first, so the other party must have a reaction, I bet that today's Kyoto has already become a mess, and Lord Fan sent me back to the north this time, but I happened to miss this excitement, which is a pity." ”

Fan Xian was taken aback, and began to listen to Sean indifferently begin to analyze the situation in Jingzhong.
