Fan Xian stood at the gate of the Taiping Courtyard, squinting at the faint blue in the courtyard, and after saying that sentence, he didn't say a word. More than a dozen masters of the Xinyang side looked at him with shocked faces, not knowing what was going on in Kyoto, how could this Lord of the Supervision Yuan, who was supposed to be trapped in the Imperial Palace, suddenly appear in front of the door of the Taiping Courtyard.

A gust of wind passed through the bamboo forest, and the heat around everyone was slightly removed in a quiet and quiet manner, and the Xinyang masters let out a low cry and killed Fan Xian. Fan Xian frowned, one stepped back, his left arm seemed to be able to twist, and he struck out horizontally, and his fist suddenly stretched to the extreme, like an old tree opening a leaf, snapping, and slapping on the side of a master's cheek.

Although there was no fan, it still made half of the master's teeth fall out, blood flowed sideways, and he fell to the ground and fainted directly.

Fan Xian tiptoed, the domineering true qi in his body burst out, and the whole person's body shrank, like a faint shadow, rushing backwards out of the encirclement, looking at these people who gritted their teeth and rushed over, their eyes were bloodshot, and their palms were trembling slightly.

Just as he once said with Xiao Yan Gongzi at the beginning of the first time, today's Kyoto is basically an empty city for Fan Xian, and the most powerful people in the world who can threaten him have been attracted to Dadong Mountain by His Majesty the Emperor, whether it is the masters of the Northern Qi Dynasty or the numbing Jiupin swordsmen in Dongyi City, they are all sucked by the jade-like mountain like a magnet.

There are only three Jiupin in Kyoto, Old Man Qin is dead, Ye Zhong is his own person, Fan Xian has this self-confidence, as long as he doesn't fall into the chaos, who can kill himself?

It's just that he couldn't know the whereabouts of Wan'er and Dabao, and he didn't dare to attack, so he gambled on a shop again and came to knock on the door outside the Taiping Courtyard - this may be a bit arrogant, but in fact it is a kind of helplessness.

However, these Xinyang masters didn't know that Lord Xiao Fan was preparing to attack, and in addition to being shocked, they naturally shot with all their might, and as soon as they looked at their faces, someone was seriously injured, and they didn't know what kind of bloody battle would follow.

At this moment, the masters who were rushing towards Fan Xian stopped their steps in amazement, and the crossbow arrows that poked out of the courtyard wall of the Taiping Courtyard also raised their arrows, and they were no longer facing Fan Xian - Fan Xian's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at those crossbow arrows, he couldn't help but feel cold, but there are always too many helpless things in life, if you want Wan'er Dabao to be safe, the Tiger Mountain in front of you can only be biased towards it.

No one stopped Fan Xian's admission to the hospital, countless pairs of eyes watched his every move openly or secretly, as long as he reacted a little differently, he was afraid that the real sniping would begin.

Because at this time, in the Taiping Courtyard, there was a very elegant and faint sound of the guqin, the sound was like flowing water, and the heart was quiet, so that the listener was uneasy and happy.

............ Now that Her Royal Highness the princess has issued an order with the sound of the qin, those masters all over the Taiping Courtyard naturally no longer block Fan Xian's entry, but they have endless doubts in their hearts, why did Her Highness let Fan Xian in? Doesn't she know how terrible Fan Xian is? Why don't you take advantage of Fan Xian's single visit and kill him in one fell swoop?

More than ten people slowly escorted or monitored Fan Xian, entered the main gate of the Taiping Courtyard, and then stopped in front of the second trestle, the front is a forbidden place, no one is allowed to enter unless Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is ordered.

Fan Xian stood in front of the trestle bridge, looking down at the wooden planks on the bridge, there is a gap between the wooden planks, you can see the clear river water below, the Liujing River is in the Taiping Courtyard, separated by the stone path on the island, and it is formed into a pool of slow water, like a flat lake, the water surface seems to be forever still, and will not flow.

The quiet and peaceful sound of the guqin came from the inner courtyard across the bridge and gently entered his ears. He looked down at the flowing water and listened to the sound of the qin, as if trying to judge the state of mind of the cāo qin player at this time.

After a while, he carefully arranged his clothes, stepped onto the bridge, walked smoothly to the island, pushed open the wooden door of the inner courtyard, raised his eyes to see the woman who was caressing the strings under the mountain pavilion on the shore of the lake in the heart of the island, hugged his hands, saluted respectfully, and said, "I have seen Your Highness." ”

The sound of the piano was not interrupted in the slightest by this sudden greeting, and the hands of the onion fingers and wrists were still so smooth as they were picking and flicking on the strings.

Li Yunrui lowered his head slightly, as if all his attention was on the seven strings of the guqin in front of him, but his wrist was slightly heavy, and his fingertips slid to the right end, and the sound of the qin became more subtle and elegant than before.

I saw that the small lake in the center of the island was blown up by the autumn wind with a few ripples, the stone by the lake was green, and the body was dwarf and shallow hill to reflect each other, a pavilion was on the mound, but the person and the piano were not in the pavilion, but under the flower tree, the stamen on the tree was faintly pink, I don't know what the name was. The autumn wind blows the green pool, blows on the tops of the flowers and trees, and the water moves the petals to fall like rain, falling on the wide-sleeved ancient clothes of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, such as embellishing the slightly deeper flower shadows.

Fan Xian looked at that place quietly, looking at Li Yunrui's quiet and tranquil but still difficult to hide her charming face, the eldest princess was not wearing full makeup, but only lightly hooked her eyebrows, but she rendered her natural charm all over the garden. A long black and beautiful hair, draped behind his shoulders, was just pulled behind his head with a silk scarf, which made him more beautiful and comfortable.

She was lowering her head and caressing the qin, her eyes drooping slightly, and her long eyelashes were supple on top of Ruyu's skin, which made Fan Xian think of the eyes that his wife inherited from her.

If you don't know who she is, if you don't deliberately associate her age, then any man must recognize the charm of this woman.

Fan Xian walked along the bluestone on the shore of the lake, squinted slightly at the sound of the piano, and then said, "Yan Xiaoyi is dead." ”

The sound of the piano was still humming slightly, and occasionally it was provoked and made a few trills, indicating that he had known about it and did not need to say more.

"Qin Heng is dead. Fan Xian stared at her hands and said softly.

The two fingers of Li Yunrui's right hand slid across the fourth string, pressed twice, and the guqin under his finger made a leisurely sound.

Fan Xian didn't hesitate for a moment, and his plain and powerful words directly forced him over: "Qin Ye is also dead." ”

............ Li Yunrui still didn't look up, but the speed of the seven strings of the guqin was getting slower and slower, and it gradually became sad, but the guqin was elegant and light, sad but not sad, and the faint thoughts were clear at a glance, but in the slight trembling of the wide sleeves behind the hands, the love of the eldest princess could be vaguely captured.

Suddenly, the sound of the qin became high-pitched again, but the sound of the guqin was originally known for being low and quaint, the fingertips played faster, but the range was always limited to that range.

Only those who are confident can play the right note.

At this time, Fan Xian had already walked under the flower tree, walked to her side, looked down at the strings that rose and fell like waves, and suddenly said: "The world calls me a genius, but in fact, I don't know anything about music. ”

Li Yunrui should not have heard the four words of playing the piano to the cow, she still lowered her head, intoxicated and caressing the strings without distraction, this song didn't know which bosom friend to listen to, but at this time Fan Xian happened to come to Taiping.

Fan Xian had a thick face, he never knew what shyness was, seeing that the other party ignored him, he laughed at himself, and sat down beside the eldest princess, and then said naturally to her side face: "Ye Chong has rebelled." ”

The sound of the piano suddenly became chaotic, and there was a muffled buzzing sound, which suddenly spread all over the green hills and flowers and trees by the lake, and the strings struggled for a while, and three were broken!

The eldest princess slowly raised her head, looked at Fan Xian's eyes, and it only took an instant for her to regain her calm feelings, and said, "Every time I see you, I don't seem to hear any good news. ”

Although in the past few years, the eldest princess and Fan Xian have stood on their own positions, constantly competing and conflicting, and the battle between the two has run through the major events of the Qingguo court in recent years, but it is wonderful to say that Fan Xian and she have not met a few times, this pair has become each other's biggest enemies, in fact, they are not very familiar with each other.

"If you want to hear the good news, then follow the good news and my head. Fan Xian whispered to the eldest princess, his eyes swept around intentionally or unintentionally, but unfortunately he didn't find anything, and his eyes dimmed slightly.

At this time, the eldest princess's hands were quietly caressing the broken strings of the guqin, her eyes were slightly closed, and her skin, which was already extremely white, appeared more innocent at this time, and even became transparent, and the usual seductive flush had disappeared.

Fan Xian's sudden appearance in the Taiping Courtyard was indeed unexpected by her, this was because Fan Xian's speed was too fast, and the people she stayed in the rebels had not yet had time to report back to the specific situation in Kyoto. And she already faintly felt a hint of a problem, so she made a move on Fan Xian as soon as possible, but let him in to see how the second half of the story happened.

And she holds Fan Xian's life in her hands, so she doesn't care at all about what kind of skills this good son-in-law has.

It's just that Fan Xian has four facts in a row, so that the eldest princess's mind finally relaxed, although Yan Xiaoyi's death was already guessed after Fan Xian appeared in Kyoto, but at this time it was confirmed by the person concerned, and she couldn't help but feel slightly gloomy, after all, this metropolitan governor has always been her cronies, and she was promoted by her and loyal to her.

And the death of Qin Heng and Qin Ye made the eldest princess also have some palpitations, she didn't expect the situation in Kyoto to evolve like this, Fan Xian's last sentence revealed all the answers, making her finally angry.

It's just that after being angry for a moment, the eldest princess has calmed down, opened her eyes, her lips are like an orchid, but she is a little sad: "But you still have to come to beg me." ”

"Since I'm here, you can naturally guess what's going on in Kyori. Fan Xian lowered his head slightly, and naturally sat next to the eldest princess, he and the eldest princess knew each other, the reason why he dared to enter the hospital alone, and the eldest princess let him enter the hospital was because they both held each other's lives in their hands, and they were unwilling, and in the first time, they cut off all possibilities.

The eldest princess has captured Wan'er and Dabao, while Fan Xian has already achieved an irreversible advantage in Kyoto.

Li Yunrui suddenly lowered his head, his wide sleeves covered the broken string guqin, and his pale clothes shook slightly under the drive of her shoulders, looking very pitiful.

"I'm here to ask you. Fan Xian said sincerely: "Forget it." ”

Li Yunrui heard these three words, suddenly raised his head, looked at Fan Xian with an indifferent gaze, without saying a word, although his eyes were indifferent, but Fan Xian saw a trace of resentment deep in the bone marrow, but this resentment was obviously not sent to himself, but he saw through himself, and stabbed some people who were not present.

"Forget it, what qualifications do you have to say these three words to me?" Li Yunrui smiled sarcastically, picked up a faint petal on his shoulder, and said, "Ye Zhong will actually rebel...... This is indeed beyond my expectations, but since you are here, what do I have to worry about? Many people may be afraid of your force, your mind, and the Inspectorate, but I am the only one, from the very beginning, I have not worried about your savings. ”

Fan Xian was silent.

"Everybody thinks you're ruthless under the glamour on the outside. The eldest princess looked at him with a slight mockery, "I have to say, in the past few years, you have been really good in disguise in the Supervision Yuan, making people think that when you encounter a moment of great interests, you can transform into a person who does not recognize your six relatives, but I know...... You never were. ”

"So you caught Wan'er and Dabao, and you refused to let go for a moment. Fan Xian cut off her words.

"As I said two years ago, you seem to be strong, but you are actually vulnerable. Li Yunrui said slowly: "There are too many people you care about in this world, and you are all over your body, if I grab one at random, you won't be able to turn over...... Otherwise, if you don't stay in Kyoto at this moment, why do you sneak up on me?"

Fan Xian lowered his head, and after a while, he said faintly: "I must admit that you are indeed very accurate in seeing people, and I have too many relatives I care about, which makes it too inconvenient for me to do things." ”

"Take Wan'er as an example, you can threaten your son-in-law with the life of your own daughter, but I can't do it, on the contrary, for Wan'er's life, I am willing to give my life, these ten rì have to suffer from this night and night, after all, I still have to admit this. ”

Hearing this, a faint light appeared in the eldest princess's slightly drooping eyes.

Fan Xian looked at the smooth surface of the lake and the petals that flowed slowly with the waves, and said calmly: "But...... Willing to give one's life and being threatened by others are two different concepts. If Wan'er is sick and needs my head to be treated, maybe I will cut it too. But if my death doesn't do Wan'er's safety any good, why should I do it?"

He turned his head to look at her and said, "I have come here to ask you to understand that it is useless to threaten me...... Of course, we can talk about how this matter can end well. ”

"There are so many people I care about, and I'm full of life. Before the eldest princess spoke, Fan Xian blocked the last opening, "But because there are many fates, it is no longer a fate." I can't fight back for the sake of Wan'er, in that case, what should my father do? What about the eldest and the third brothers? They are all relatives, so naturally they can't tell the difference, and I think Wan'er will agree with my views and practices. ”

The eldest princess couldn't help but smile and shook her head, Fan Xian's words had blocked all the ways she threatened, although she could still give it a try, but her thoughts had already drifted to other places, and she sighed faintly: "The eldest and the third brother, it seems that you have finally admitted your identity, the men of our old Li family are always so hypocritical and shameless, what good is it for you to say so much?" It's nothing more than forcing me to make trouble, and then you can comfort yourself that Wan'er and that idiot's death has nothing to do with you, you are just forced to stand by and watch because of family affection...... I am the one who lost my conscience, and I was sad and sad afterwards, and it was you who were comforted by all people. ”

She looked at Fan Xian's face and said with a smile, "Don't you think you are shameless?" she paused and laughed to herself: "This is very similar to your father." ”

At this time, the father was naturally referring to His Majesty the Emperor, Fan Xian was silent for a moment and said: "It is shameless to have the intention to do evil things and cover them up, I was forced by you to have no choice, and deep down I don't want Wan'er to have a trace of inappropriateness." ”

The negotiation between the two people has reached an impasse, Fan Xian can kill the eldest princess at will at this time, but Wan'er Dabao, who still has no trace until this time, is afraid that he is being guarded by Xinyang masters in a corner, if Fan Xian makes a move, I am afraid that the first person to die is Wan'er.

Fan Xian's face was calm, but deep down he began to feel anxious, because in the face of such a desperate young woman, and he couldn't give her anything she wanted, what should he do next?

The eldest princess's expression was stern, which was completely opposite to her beautiful appearance and clean makeup at this time, she looked at the lake in a daze, and said: "I said before that the men of our old Li family are shameless, in fact, there is nothing wrong, Your Majesty did not kill me in Guangxin Palace last time, in order to give me a chance, on the one hand, he obeyed his wishes, on the other hand, he can kill me justifiably, without worrying about how to depict this process in the history books in the future." ”

She looked at Fan Xian and said calmly: "He has never really cherished my sister, since he gave me this opportunity so confidently, I will definitely give him a big surprise." ”

In Fan Xian's opinion, the emperor's trip to Dongshan to worship the heavens was indeed a great risk, and he completely underestimated the means of the eldest princess, who was able to invite two great masters from foreign countries to mobilize the rebels to besiege Beijing, such a powerful persuasion and organizational ability, and such a big plan, it is really difficult to imagine that a weak female stream can bear it on one shoulder.

However, Ye Chong's knife also made Fan Xian understand a truth, the eldest princess laid out an overall situation, but His Majesty laid out a bigger game, and the only one who could completely destroy the eldest princess was her brother or the old cripple who looked a little weird in this matter.

"Anzhi, I want to ask you a question. The eldest princess suddenly spoke: "I have tried to repair relations with you in previous years, but why do you keep shrinking your hands behind your back?"

Before Fan Xian answered, Li Yunrui preemptively said lightly: "Don't say it's because I tried to kill you, and don't say it's because some of your cronies died at my hands...... You and I both know what kind of person you are, maybe you have affection for your family and friends, but it doesn't mean that you are really a hot-blooded man. ”

Fan Xian was silent, and said after a while: "It turned out to be very simple, you refused to retreat, and Your Majesty Xià ...... Naturally, I won't accept that I and you will become intimate. In fact, he didn't want to tell the eldest princess about these old things at this time, but the eldest princess strangled his life, and he had to make a false accusation here.

The princess is not like a dazed retrospective after a failed plan. Fan Xian's heart was shocked, staring at the eyes of the eldest princess, only to see her bow her head slightly and say: "Don't get me wrong, I don't want to rejoin hands with you, no matter whether the emperor's brother is dead or alive this time, I don't have much interest in this world." ”

Fan Xian suddenly noticed that her expression was very gloomy.

"Brother Huang is really the strongest person in the world. Li Yunrui suddenly smiled and said: "I made a big mistake, I thought he just wanted to use the Dongshan Sacrifice Heaven to lead Uncle Liuyun to snipe, I didn't expect him to have such a strong ambition, it seems that the low-key forbearance of more than ten years has made him a little unbearable and lonely." ”

Fan Xian entered the garden, bringing her a succession of bad news, with the genius planning ability of the eldest princess, naturally in the shortest possible time, guessed the truth on Dadong Mountain, guessed the emperor's attempt, and understood why it had been five days and had not received any news from Dongshan Road.

"Don't think that the news of Dongshan Road is blocked, which proves that the emperor's brother is still alive. The eldest princess closed her eyes slightly, and said quietly: "That old cripple can also do this." I'm afraid that the situation on Dadong Mountain is not what you expect. ”

............Since Ye Zhong has made a move, Sect Master Liuyun will naturally make a move. Fan Xian lowered his head and said.

A hint of a see-through expression appeared on the eldest princess's face, and she said lightly: "Although Sigu Jian and Kuhe believe that Ye Liuyun is my person, those two old monsters ...... How can you believe in a Qingguo person so lightly. ”

Li Yunrui's eyes narrowed, but he didn't have any feeling of coldness and killing, some were just indifferent and indifferent: "You and the emperor's brother seem to have thought about one thing wrong...... After all, I am a Qingguo person, and all the time in this life is spent on how to help the imperial brother dominate the world, how can I not calculate the danger that Qingguo will have in the future when I come?"

"I have never underestimated the imperial brother, I believe that even in a desperate situation, he still has a wonderful hand to turn the sky, but I didn't expect his magic hand to be Uncle Liuyun Shishu. ”

"But...... From the beginning, I didn't think that I wanted to let Kuhe and Sigu Sword go back alive, the four great grandmasters would be Dongshan, even if Liuyun Shishu made a move, it would only be a two-to-two situation, what kind of characters are Kuhe and Sigu Jian? If the emperor's brother wants to kill the two great grandmasters, it is easier to think. ”

"I trust the imperial brother, so I believe that even if he dies, he will drag the two great masters to be buried with him, otherwise how can he be worthy of his wisdom and strength. The eldest princess said indifferently: "At that time, it will be my Qing country that has Liuyun Shishu, but Northern Qi Dongyi has no one to support it...... And what is so unusual about the evolution of the situation now? Uncle Liuyun Shi made a move, and the four great grandmasters were all wiped out...... And my thoughts are no different. ”

"A monster like the Great Grandmaster shouldn't exist in the world in the first place. ”

"If there is no great grandmaster, with my Daqing military strength and national strength, I would have already dominated the world, why wait until now?"

"No matter how much changes change on Dadong Mountain, it will be of great benefit to my Daqing. ”

"The four great grandmasters will be Dongshan, once they are all dead, such a momentum, do you think Your Majesty will be able to survive by chance?"

Fan Xian was not allowed to speak, the eldest princess coldly smashed out sentence by sentence, Fan Xian's lips were dry, and he didn't know how to answer, he didn't expect that the eldest princess had never thought about letting the grandmasters on Dadong Mountain live from the beginning, but she was not a fairy after all, and she couldn't count all the details, but the development of the situation now does not seem to be much different from her expectations.

The only variable appeared in Kyoto, and appeared in the knife that left Dadong Mountain and Ye Zhong alive.

"If the four old guys die with the emperor's brother. Do you think I care, who can sit on the dragon chair? Even if you control Kyoto, I am a little disappointed that Cheng Qian cannot ascend the throne, but ...... What are these little setbacks?" The eldest princess glanced at Fan Xian and said mockingly: "Your Majesty, except for the third child, the other four, even the most unsuccessful second, can take Daqing to defeat the world." ”

"Use the four great masters to accompany His Majesty Xià for the funeral. A hint of pride and madness appeared on the eldest princess's face, "Presumably he will also be satisfied with having such four guards in the yīn room, and then giving his son a big world, I am worthy of him." ”

"What about you?" Fan Xian said in a hoarse voice, and only then did he really understand why his father and Chen Pingping kept saying in his ear that this woman was a madman, a madman...... Indeed, after tossing such a big thing, she didn't care who could survive to the end in the battle in Kyoto, and who could sit on the dragon chair, anyway, they were all children of the Li family, and they were all sons of His Majesty anyway.

"Me?" the eldest princess looked at her good son-in-law like a fool, and said quietly: "The earth on the ground and the dazzling meteors in the world, which one do you want to be? ”

Although he knew that the final break between the eldest princess and the emperor was caused by himself, Fan Xian still couldn't help but ask in a hoarse voice: "...... But why would you do that?"

The question was very vague, but the eldest princess heard it clearly, glanced at the quiet and simple scene of the Taiping Courtyard, and said slowly: "Because he has lost me, because I want to prove to everyone that a woman can also rewrite the history of this stinky man who has dominated for many years." ”

She slowly stood up, petals sliding off her body, looking very beautiful.

Fan Xian listened to this sentence in a daze, especially the last sentence, which he had heard in Guangxin Palace, which was very harsh and shocking.

Li Yunrui glanced at the scenery of the Taiping Courtyard with a greedy gaze, and said reluctantly in a deep voice: "When I was a child, I liked this courtyard, but my brother always refused to let me come, and later I begged my father for it, and was scolded by my brother, at that time, the hostess of this courtyard was so domineering." ”

She smiled slightly, spun around, and caused the neighboring flower trees to tremble slightly, and more than a dozen petals fell. She looked at Fan Xian and said softly, "You say, am I finally better than your mother now?"

At this time, Fan Xian had already fallen into an inexplicable feeling, and when he heard this, he didn't know how to answer at all, only smiled bitterly.

The eldest princess walked barefoot and danced slowly on the green lawn, with a gentle and relaxed feeling.

Looking at this scene, for some reason, Fan Xian's heart felt extremely angry, yes, you stand taller than everyone else, and look farther than everyone else, whether it is Emperor Xià or Li Yunrui, his eyes were not on Kyoto from the beginning, but on Dadong Mountain, staring at the four great masters who should not have been stored in the world, but ...... How many people have died? How many families have been ruined in Kyoto? How many soldiers of Qingguo have lost their heads and lost their lives just because of the little thought that you want to leave a name in the history of the youth? How many people are weeping and how many are grieving?

"You're not as good as her. Fan Xian suddenly spoke.

The eldest princess**'s feet suddenly stopped on the lawn, she turned her head and looked at Fan Xian with an indifferent gaze, as if she was waiting for him to give an explanation.

Fan Xian raised his eyebrows, still sat on the ground, and said with a slight mockery: "My mother came to this world, at least to make the people of Qingguo laugh, but you can only make the people of the world cry." ”

Li Yunrui smiled faintly, with a mocking expression on his face, not moved at all.

However, Fan Xian's next sentence made her angry, because Fan Xian shook his head and said in a very natural tone: "I have seen the portrait of my mother, and I must say it...... She's prettier than you. ”

Fan Xian laughed: "Everyone loves Ye Qingmei, doesn't they?"

He stood up and patted the grass clippings under his buttocks, not looking at Li Yunrui's expression at all, since it was clear that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess had a will to die at the beginning of the plan, only seeking the last glory of the world, and then going to Yīn to pursue her lover brother, Fan Xian was tired, and just wanted to stimulate the other party, plan a variable, and find a way to rescue Wan'er Dabao.

Of course, there is a big mystery surrounding his heart.

Emperor...... Can it be in the turmoil of the heaven and earth of the Grandmaster War...... Survive?
