Since he was in Suzhou, Fan Xian has been looking forward to the trip to Wuzhou, because he knows that although the old man in front of him has been silent as if he has disappeared from the world in the past year, it is just to prevent His Majesty the Emperor from being vigilant, so he deliberately put on a posture.

Of course, when the fake is true, the truth is also false, and the posture has been put for a long time, and this feeling often seeps into the bones.

The court can't live for a long time, so he went lightly, and there is no need to discuss any conditions, anyway, he left Fan Xian such a tail in Beijing, giving His Majesty enough face, and the court will naturally give the former prime minister of the glorious retirement a little face.

This kind of political wisdom made Fan Xian trust his father-in-law's judgment very much, so when he heard these words today, although he was a little chilled and a little faintly excited, but more often, he was in deep thought, preparing to deal with the upcoming turmoil.

The turmoil is uncertain, although the churning waves also have their own hand, but it seems that Fan Xian still thinks that the influence of this matter is still smaller.

I understood the eldest princess's thoughts, but he couldn't immediately capture the thoughts of His Majesty the Emperor.But Fan Xian still has his own advantages after all.

For him, the old man who knows most of the secrets in this world is the old man, who knows the other part of the secrets, his father, and the other secrets, his father-in-law.

These three people are the three most powerful subordinates of His Majesty the Emperor of Qingguo in the five years after the Qingli New Deal, and the three cadres of the Qing Dynasty.

To be precise, this triangle has never been able to communicate with each other.

And all this, with Fan Xian's entry into Beijing, with his marriage to Wan'er, has become a gesture in the pile of old papers.At that time, in the world, in addition to the Emperor Qingguo, there was another place like Fan Xian who could gather the resources of the three old people and share the three aspects of information...... Lucky.

For Fan Xian, now he can see it more clearly than even these three elders.It's just that this kind of luck or strength can't seem to be placed on a courtier.So no matter what, there must be someone in this triangle who wants to retreat.

Prime Minister Lin Ruofu became the first victim because he was not a child with His Majesty the Emperor.

Occasionally, Fan Xian asked himself, only to find out that his land out of the mountain had indeed brought great damage to the Lin family.

Fan Xian woke up from his contemplation and couldn't help but shake his head.Obviously, there are still so many problems in the imperial court, so the emperor will kill the dog there first...... But the prey has not yet been defeated...... What the hell is going on? Where does the Emperor's faith come from?

"I won't ask about Jiangnan affairs." Lin Ruofu interrupted his thoughts and said slowly: "I believe in your ability, although on the surface, this trip to Jiangnan, you are a little out of the way, but you must have a backhand...... It's just that you have to go back to Beijing to report on your work during the New Year's Festival, and make some preparations, especially since I don't know when those people will be launched."

Fan Xian thought about it, couldn't help but smile, and said, "Don't worry, it's okay."

Lin Ruofu couldn't help laughing, looked at Mian Fei, Ku, and the son-in-law in front of the net with appreciation, looked at the calmness and confidence on the young man's face, and asked curiously: "Your Majesty's confidence, there is a past history as proof...... And where did you, this headless and tailless self-confidence, come from?"

Fan Xian thought for a while, and replied with a smile: "I believe that my luck is the best in this world."

Lin Ruofu was dumbfounded, shook his head helplessly, and said in a harmonious voice after a while: "What do you think of Yuan Hongdao?"

Fan Xian was slightly stunned, he knew that Yuan Hongdao was a Qing guest in the prime minister's mansion back then, and he was also a friend of Lin Ruofu for decades, but it seemed that after Lin Xiang's resignation, this person named Yuan Hongdao played a very disgraceful role, and now this person has faintly become the first strategist in Xinyang, and there is no doubt that he is a traitor to seek glory.

Fan Xian didn't understand why his father-in-law suddenly mentioned this person, frowned, and thought that his father-in-law didn't seem to have a way to kill this person to take revenge, and he felt a little weird.

"Yuan Hongdao is a very powerful person, and he is also a very free and easy person." Lin Ruofu smiled and said, "I still can't understand why he betrayed me."

"Isn't he the eldest princess?"

"Yunrui...... Do you have this ability?" Lin Ruofu sighed: "I don't know very well, more than a year has passed, and my hatred for Hongdao has gradually faded, so I always don't understand the real background of this incident at that time."

"Ask him for me." Lin Ruofu said with a hint of indifference: "...... Why?"

Fan Xian nodded solemnly, thinking that this greeting was either with a sword or a crossbow.

Lin Ruofu looked at him, shook his head, and said, "If Jingzhong is really messed up in the future, maybe he can help you."

Fan Xian was slightly stunned, not understanding the meaning of this sentence.

Lin Ruofu fell into deep thought, also thinking about this question.

The old man in the garden outside Kyoto may be proud.

―――――――――――――――――――――――

Fan Xian and his party stayed in Wuzhou for a few more days, looking for free land, he would ask his father-in-law in the study, on the one hand, he wanted to know some old things, on the other hand, he also wanted to learn from the other party in the government.

In previous years, when he went to the Northern Qi Land, in the carriage, Fan Xian also learned from Lord Sean, this is the biggest advantage of Fan Xian, he can ensure that he meditates and cultivates at two o'clock in the morning and dusk every day, and will also seize every opportunity to learn the ability to save his life, this kind of perseverance and determination, in fact, is not consistent with the laziness he shows.

In these days of conversation, Fan Xian focused on the key points of the court situation, especially for the military that he was most unfamiliar with, the Qin family and the Ye family, the two old places since the founding of the country, and increased a lot of perceptual understanding.

But this question can only be buried deep in his heart.

As for the affairs of Jiangnan, Lin Ruofu said that he didn't want to care, but after all, he still wrote a letter to Xue Qing, the governor of Jiangnan, as for what was in the letter, Fan Xian didn't bother to pay attention to it, all the way to the governor, whether he would sell the face of the former prime minister is another matter, the key is that the father-in-law analyzes Xue Qing's character for himself.

Xue Qing is a close minister of the Son of Heaven and a good man...... And thoughtful.

This judgment made Fan Xian make up his mind, it seems that this kind of courtier, the greatest hope is just to be a famous minister, that is a bit filthy, naturally he is unwilling to go out to do the land by himself, and in the future, he will use thunderous means, as long as Xue Qing can stay out of the matter, but afterwards he will give him that big fame, he will naturally cooperate in secret.

The smuggling of the inner reservoir is still going on, and the investigation on the sea route is still continuing.

Very good.

Fan Xian thought in his heart, as long as that critical point was passed, it would be the time when the Ming family would be destroyed.

......

......

There are green mountains outside the city of Wuzhou, so it covers most of the south-facing blazing sun, and the mountain breeze is light and quiet.

Fan Xian and his entourage are also comfortable in Wuzhou, when they are far away from political affairs, he will follow Wan'er and Dabao to go around the surrounding mountains, hunt some prey, find some small streams, roast frogs, and tell Wan'er the story of Linghu melon seeds.

There are also times when I spend the night in the mountains, when the stars are dotted, the magpie bridge is gradually merging, the Milky Way is going away with the wind, Fan Xian holds his wife in his arms, laughs softly, makes a loud noise, and watches the stars at night, but I don't know whether the general trend of the world is divided or combined, only that the time of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl is coming one day a year.

Stay away from the troubles of the world and live happily.

He and his wife had a tacit understanding that they did not mention the affairs of Suzhou, Kyoto, and other places, did not mention Begonia, did not mention the eldest princess, did not mention the emperor, but occasionally talked about Ruoruo's sister who was practicing in Northern Qi at this time, the game of the Fan Manor outside Kyoto, and the fragrant chicken legs from Texas......

All the way to the west, the two pointed to the mountains and asked the mountains, when they met the water, they were pitiful when they met the deer, and the lone wolf was fierce, walking by the stream next to the forest, lingering in the clouds by the cliff, this is a very rare quiet relationship after marriage, as if everything around them no longer exists, only Fan Xian and Lin Wan'er.

Wrong, there is still a big treasure.

But the cuteness of Dabaodi is that he is always quiet.

If Fan Xian wants to keep this kind of day, he must go out of the mountain again and walk into the red dust again.

......

......

"Dabao wants to follow us?" Fan Xian opened his eyes and asked curiously, "Didn't you send him to your father-in-law's side and make him a companion for your father-in-law?"

Lin Ruofu now lives alone in Wuzhou, although there are countless children in the clan, but there are few real caring people around him.

The son is not there, the knees are like no children, this kind of loneliness, Fan Xian can taste one or two places.

"Father held on." Lin Wan'er said softly, after these days of careful recuperation, coupled with the play in the mountains, Wan'er's body really recovered for a long time, her slightly moist cheeks showed a few traces of healthy flush, and her eyelashes blinked slightly.

Fan Xian looked at her with a smile, gently held her hand, and said, "Ducheng."

A few days later, the all-black convoy left Wuzhou and slowly drove eastward, passing several small cities and mountains along the way, and came to a three-way junction.

This has reached the territory of Dongshan Road, and this three-way road leads to the two state cities under the jurisdiction of Dongshan Road.

The east direction is Shanzhou, and the north direction is Jiaozhou.

"You go to Lanzhou and wait for me, I'll go to Jiaozhou to do some things." Fan Xian stood on the carriage and said in a harmonious voice to the ground Wan'er on the carriage: "Ten days late at most."

Of course, Wan'er knew what he was going to Jiaozhou for, and sighed in her heart, but knowing that the emperor's order was in her body, Fan Xian couldn't refuse at all, so she had to put on a gentle smile on her face that made each other feel at ease, stuck out her tongue and said, "Hugh is going to mess with flowers and grass."

Fan Xian smiled embarrassedly and bowed: "Don't worry, lady, don't go to the roadside to pick it again."

Di Dabao, who was sitting next to Wan'er, had been sitting with a blank expression, and when he heard this, he suddenly interjected: "Garden...... There are flowers in it."

Fan Xian was slightly angry, Wan'er was slightly hateful, Dabao didn't know what was going on, and the three of them said goodbye for the time being.

......

......

After turning around and going north for only three miles, Fan Xian got out of the carriage, stretched his waist, and asked his subordinates, "Are you ready?"

"Everything is ready, Lord Tis."

In the distance, on the side of the mountains and forests, a group of cold and murderous black cavalry could be faintly seen waiting there.
