Hearing that Gongzi was interested, Fan Mou hurriedly opened his mouth to stop: "Lord... Nephews can't, Xiao Yushen is unfathomable, and he must not be in danger."

When Childe heard this, a smile bloomed on his lips: "Dangerous? I'm afraid we're in danger."

There was a panic in his heart, and even the three strands of white beard under his chin trembled, and Fan Mou hurriedly asked, "Why do you say this?"

Childe didn't hide it, he took away his smile, and on his face, which was originally handsome and extraordinary, seemed to have a look that made people dare not look at it directly, and said softly: "He Jiabao is gone, do you know the news?"

"When was this, I don't know..."

"Of course you don't know, these things are in your hands, the so-called Golden Dao Gate is no longer under your control, who Wang Heng is, I know better than you, if you want to make a choice between you and me and him, I think, he will choose him without hesitation, this is the imperial power, it is orthodoxy..." Gongzi said, his eyes were full of unwillingness and desire.

Seeing that Fan Mou didn't seem to believe his words, Gongzi just smiled and bowed his head, took out a letter from his arms, and handed it to Fan Mou.

Fan Mou took the secret letter, and after opening it, he only glanced at it a few times, and his expression changed drastically, but Fan Mou was also a person who had experienced ups and downs, and in just a moment, he had already recovered his previous respectful look, closed the letter, and respectfully handed it back to his son.

Very satisfied with Fan Mou's change of not being surprised, Gongzi took the letter back, and with a slight rub of his slender palm, the letter had become powder, scattered with the wind, and then spoke: "What do I do with what you see?"

His eyebrows were not wrinkled, his eyes were not squinted, Fan Mou's expression was indifferent, but his slightly lowered eyes revealed a trace of ruthlessness, but it disappeared in a flash, buried deep in his eyes, and at the moment when Gongzi opened his mouth, his narrow and long eyes changed back to his previous respectful posture, and he was silent for a moment before he spoke.

"Wang Heng is good at making claims, causing trouble in Yanbei, how to deal with it is all up to the master... Childe."

Gongzi looked at Fan Mou, and saw that this Fan Xiang was standing bowed and standing still, unable to see what he was thinking, so he retracted his gaze and said softly: "It is better to abandon your son and take advantage of it than to survive with your son."

Rao is Fan Mou City Mansion is very deep, hearing Gongzi's words, his slightly closed eyes couldn't help but open, I don't know whether he was intimidated by the momentum exuded by Gongzi's words, or understood what Gongzi meant by this, his narrow eyes had no way to gather, and his body seemed to tremble constantly.

The slight changes in Fan Mou's body had already fallen into the eyes of the son beside him, and the true qi that was scattered from his body was removed, and the son reached out and patted Fan Mou's shoulder beside him, and a true qi drilled into Fan Mou's body and solved the dilemma for him: "You said that the Qiyun Nationalist Xiao Ji is deep and unfathomable, and he can't be in danger."

Fan Mou didn't know what Gongzi's intention was to bring the topic back to Xiao Xiang, so he had to nod yes.

Gongzi withdrew his slender palm from Fan Mou's shoulder, and he didn't know whether to talk to himself or to Fan Mou beside him: "Instead of begging him, it's better to be a favor."

Instantly, Fan Mou raised his head suddenly, wanting to speak, but met the gentle eyes of the son, and the instant chill penetrated the whole body, not only cold, but also the chill that penetrated into the bone marrow, so that the words of persuasion on the lips were frozen by this cold.

Not only could he not speak, but he couldn't even move his steps, so he could only watch Gongzi pacing away, until three or five feet away, a gentle word floated in, Fan Mou felt that his body was light, as if he could move his body, and he took a big breath, relieving the feeling of chest blockage.

"You go and arrange, I'm going to visit that Qiyun Nationalist at night."

Fan Mou knew very well that Shicai felt that it was Gongzi who punished him slightly, so he didn't dare to say more, just bowed in the direction of Gongzi, and then left the Fuzhong Garden quickly.

——

Under the cover of night, ten people from the nine guards lined up, inspecting the inner city of Jianglin, a few days ago Lord Duanmu returned to Beijing, which caused a lot of waves among the nine guards, and when they inspected, everyone was still whispering.

"Have you heard?"

"What did you hear?"

"Lord Duanmu knelt in front of Xiao Xiang's Mansion for half a night."

"Shhhhhh Don't talk nonsense about this, Lord Duanmu is a popular person in front of the saint, if this word spreads, you will have good fruit to eat."

The whispers of the Nine Gatekeepers reached the ears of the captain in front

, the captain turned around and scolded in a low voice: "Silence, this is the foot of the imperial city, be careful of your tongues."

The guards shrank their heads one after another, not daring to make any more noise, and were about to continue their patrols, but they heard the sound of "squeak, squeak" on the dim street.

Before the Yuan Day Festival, there was a case of "ghost night walking" in Jianglin's inner city that had not yet been solved, and a group of nine guards heard the sound, and they had already drawn their knives in their hands, and looked at the place where the sound came from with vigilance.

When the two small sedan chairs slowly walked out of the darkness, showing the word "Fan" hanging in front of the sedan chair, the nine guards breathed a sigh of relief, and the captain of the nine gates led the guard was not reduced, signaling everyone behind him to lower the crossbow slightly, and he put away his knife and walked forward quickly.

"Dare to ask Fan Xiang in the sedan chair." The captain of the nine gates saluted with his fists and stopped in front of the sedan chair man.

If it was on weekdays, the sedan chair drivers in the Fan Mansion would definitely scold loudly, but today they were ordered by the old man to make a noise, and in the face of the nine school captains, they had to stop and look at the single sedan chair behind them.

"It's what it is." Fan Mou's voice came from the sedan chair.

Hearing Fan Mou's voice, the captain of the Nine Gates hurriedly knelt down and said, "Disturbing Fan Xiang is really not what the lower officials want, but I have a law, in this inner city..."

"Okay, this Qiyun Law is naturally clearer than you, but Xiao Xiang has returned to Beijing, and he has never visited, and there are many people during the day, so he will visit at night." An indifferent voice came out of the sedan car.

The nine guards were in a dilemma, according to Qiyun's law, even if Fan Mou was not held accountable for violating the curfew and walking at night, he had to check the people in the two sedan chairs, but in front of him the sedan chair was facing the right, so he said, "It turns out... I see, it's just... According to the law, the lower officials must..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a cold snort from the sedan chair, followed by a majestic reprimand: "What's the matter, you still want to check the sedan chair of the true appearance?"

The captain of Jiumen was taken aback, knowing well Fan Mou's power in the court, but where his duty lies, in case he will not be searched today because of Fan Mou's status as the right minister, once it is leaked, his official position as a small captain is afraid that it will not be guaranteed, so he can only say with a little embarrassment: "The lower official does not dare, but..."

The field was silent, it was clear that it was still cold in early spring, but fine beads of sweat appeared on the forehead of the captain of the nine gates, but for a moment, a clear voice came from the sedan chair behind Fan Mou: "Second uncle, they are just following orders, so don't embarrass them."

Before the words fell, the single sedan chair behind Fan Mou made a soft tapping sound, and the sedan chair man immediately understood, hurriedly leaned down the sedan pole, lifted the sedan curtain, and saw a young man with a warm smile bowing his head out, walking to the Jiumen captain kneeling in front of the sedan chair, and stretched out his hand to help him up.

"My lord, my second uncle didn't mean that, it's just that he and Xiao Xiang haven't seen each other for many years, and they want to talk about their comrades' feelings back then, so that's why..." Childe said, his hand took out a small silver ingot from his arms, helped up the captain of the Nine Gates for a moment, and quietly stuffed it into his hand.

The captain of the nine gates was stunned for a moment, and said that the person in the sedan chair was the right minister, who was any one in the inner city of Jianglin, and he didn't dare to accept the silver, so he hurriedly excused himself and said: "The duty of the lower official is not to accept the silver of the right minister, as for what the prince said, the lower official will let him go, but if someone asks, please forgive the right minister for the crime of truthfully reporting to the lower official."

Hearing this, the same percussion sound was already made in the sedan chair, and then Fan Mou came out in his regular clothes, and said lightly with a superior momentum: "Don't worry, tonight's matter, someone asked, you just have to report it truthfully, and also, in front of you is Xiao Xiang's mansion, this official will not take the sedan chair, and go with my nephew, so you don't have to be embarrassed."

Hearing this, the captain of the Nine Gates thanked him again and again, did not dare to say anything else, and hurriedly saluted: "Thank you for your understanding, and the next official will retire."

Seeing the nine guards gradually disappearing into the long street of the inner city, Fan Mou turned around and waved slightly to the sedan chair drivers behind him, signaling them to go back to the house first.

Seeing this, the son next to him hurriedly stepped forward to hold Fan Mou's arm affectionately, Fan Mou looked pleased, so he was supported by the son, and slowly walked to Xiao Xiang's mansion not far ahead.

Looking up at the gate of the Xiao Mansion, it was not at all as magnificent as the Fan Mansion, but the two couplets on the left and right pillars overshadowed all the Gaomen mansions in the inner city of Jianglin.

Supporting Fan Mou's son, he slowly raised his head, and a pair of eyes swept over the world

Ding, Badou Caisi waved his sleeves to the past and the present", his eyebrows were slightly raised, and the excitement in his eyes was almost irrepressible.

"Nephew, knock and hand over the prayer post." Fan Mou on his side had clearly felt the change in the mood of the lord on his side, although it was a commanding sentence from above, he reminded him with three points of respect.

Woke up by Fan Mou's words, Gongzi retracted his gaze, calmed down a little, and stepped forward, but before he got close, he heard a heavy sound from the door of the house, and the closed door slowly opened, and there was a cardamom girl standing in the door.

The four eyes are facing each other, the son can't help but light up his eyebrows, under the ink eyebrows, his eyes are like a lake, clear to the bottom, the pink cheeks are blooming, and he is indescribably beautiful and intelligent, even if he is a character like a child, he can't help but be slightly stunned.

"Grandpa Xiao said, there are distinguished guests visiting tonight, but I didn't expect it to come so late, Grandpa Xiao has been waiting for a long time." The cardamom girl said, pursing her small mouth, and her pretty face was already full of "I'm angry" expression, and she opened her mouth to complain.

Gongzi's eyebrows were slightly raised, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, a warm smile appeared on his face, and he bowed slightly and said, "Let the girl wait for a long time, I apologize in my heart... I..."

Before the words fell, she saw that the cardamom girl didn't seem to pay attention to her expression, she still pouted, turned to the side and continued to complain: "Okay, I've finished what Grandpa Xiao explained, I'll go back to the room, and I'll hand it over to the two uncles."

Childe was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he would be wrong, it turned out that this girl's words were not for herself, and she couldn't help but be embarrassed on the spot, and she didn't.

The cardamom girl didn't care about the embarrassment of the child, and the words fell for a moment, and she turned around and walked towards the house by herself, not only leaving a shadow, but also taking away the child's gaze.

"Ahem!"

A dry cough brought the son back to his senses, staring at each other, only to see that the door of the house had been replaced by a man in ordinary clothes, this person's eyes were very bright, and his resolute face was full of hatred, and he knew from his posture that he was a man who had been in the army for many years.

"Ah, under Fan Zijun, I handed over a letter of worship for my uncle Fan Mou, and I came to visit Xiao Xiang." In just a moment, the son had already removed the embarrassment on his face and saluted respectfully to the doorman.

The person who opened the door was surprised, such a rich kid is the most eye-catching, and he can be so polite to himself as a person who guards the door, it is not simple.

stepped forward slowly, and his hands were connected to the post for a moment, but he heard another sound in Prime Minister Xiao's mansion, but the sound was like a huge thunder, which attracted several people in front of the door to look at each other.

The reckless man with thick eyebrows and a short beard on his black face had come quickly, grabbing ahead of the man with a resolute face, pulling the prayer post, and then ignoring the son in front of him, he stood towards the steps with his hands in his hands, and opened his mouth with his eyes slightly closed.

"Fan Lao'er, don't pretend, my family's Xiao Xiang has been waiting for a long time!"
