Fan Liye walked slowly.

The steps are not as big as before.

The chest is not as strong as it used to be.

Even the head is half-bowed.

With his hands in his sleeves, this former prince is now walking more like a courtier.

Fan Liye knew in his heart that he was not even as good as a courtier at the moment.

He has nothing but the identity of Brother Wang.

After Fan Jiangong returned, he did not dine with Fan Jiangong.

In fact, it had been a long time since he had eaten with his own big brother.

Tonight's meal may not be so delicious.

Walking to the door of the study, Fan Liye did not rush into the door, but stood sideways in front of the door, waiting for the little eunuch to go in first.

Fan Jiangong glanced at the door, stood up, waved his hand at the little eunuch who came in, and said, "This king knows, you can step down!"

Seeing the little eunuch walk out of the study, Fan Liye raised his head.

I happened to see Fan Jiangong, who had walked to the door.

He hurriedly saluted and said, "I have seen the king!"

Fan Jiangong smiled and said softly: "Xiao Er, look at you, is there still me as a big brother in your heart? Is this meeting with Brother Wang? It's all a family, what are you doing with such a rusty? When no one is there in the future, these cumbersome gifts will be waived." ”

After speaking, he grabbed Fan Liye's arm and said, "Let's go, Brother Wang, I may not have sat down with you for a long time." ”

Fan Liye said "um" and entered the study with Fan Jiangong.

After sitting in the main seat, seeing that Fan Liye was still standing, Fan Jiangong greeted: "Little Er, come and sit, come and eat at the eldest brother's place, isn't it the same as going home, why are you still like a guest?"

Fan Liye bowed his head slightly and saluted, and sat next to Fan Jiangong.

Home?guests?

Fan Liye sneered in his heart, he is a good big brother and a good brother Wang, but he is afraid that he can't wait to drive himself out of the palace.

The little eunuch on the side poured wine for the two.

Fan Jiangong waved his hand and said, "You all go outside the door and listen to the order!"

Only the two brothers were left in the room.

Fan Jiangong picked up the wine glass, sighed and said: "Xiao Er, it is said that during my father's funeral, Brother Wang, I shouldn't have drunk, but I was so annoyed and depressed in my heart, so I had to use wine to kill my sorrows." ”

Fan Liye also picked up his wine glass and said to Fan Jiangong: "The king ......"

Fan Jiangong said with a straight face: "What is the king's name?

Fan Liye chuckled and said, "Brother Chen, let's call Brother Wang!"

Fan Jiangong drank all the wine in the cup, shook his head and said: "That's it, let it be, Brother Wang doesn't mean anything else, I just want to tell you that you are the younger brother of this king, the only younger brother, and this king, as a brother, will definitely protect you." ”

Fan Liye also drank all the wine in the cup, and said to Fan Jiangong: "If Brother Wang doesn't think that Xiao Er is clumsy, I am willing to charge for Brother Wang." ”

After speaking, he picked up the wine jug and filled the glasses of the two.

Fan Jiangong sighed again, reached out and patted Fan Liye's shoulder and said, "Little Er, in fact, the eldest brother has always thought that you are more suitable than the eldest brother and me to be the king of Shu." ”

Fan Liye was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly got up and saluted: "Your Majesty, my brother has never thought of this in his heart, and he has never dared to think about it. The younger brother didn't like to read since he was a child, but he also knew the truth of order between the young and the old. ”

Fan Jiangong stretched out his hand and patted the table and said, "Look at you, why are you doing this again? What are you thinking, big brother, can I still not know? Sit down, Brother Wang, I have no intention of testing you." ”

Fan Liye sat down again, grabbed the chopsticks, glanced at Fan Jiangong, and put down the chopsticks in his hand.

Fan Jiangong saw it in his eyes.

Shaking his head gently, he picked up the chopsticks and said to Fan Liye: "Little Er, eat quickly, the dishes are cold, Brother Wang knows, you can't eat well these days, and you can't sleep well, don't burn your body." ”

Seeing that Fan Jiangong began to move the chopsticks, Fan Liye grabbed the chopsticks again.

After eating two bites of food, Fan Jiangong stopped, picked up the wine glass with his left hand, pressed his right hand on Fan Liye's arm and said: "Little Er, Brother Wang, I just told you what I was talking about, and you also know that my eldest brother is a little weaker, and I am indeed not suitable to be the king of this state." ”

Fan Liye wanted to move, but he didn't dare to move, so he had to say: "Brother Wang has only had a drink, why is he a little drunk? There is no doubt that you are the heir to the throne in my father's heart. ”

After speaking, he raised his glass with both hands and saluted Fan Jiangong, "Brother is here to give a glass to the eldest brother." ”

Fan Jiangong lightly picked up the wine glass, signaled, and the two drank it all.

Fan Liye wanted to grab the wine jug and pour the wine again, but he was preempted by Fan Jiangong.

Fan Jiangong glanced at Fan Liye and said softly, "Bring the wine glass!"

Fan Liye hurriedly said: "How can you bother Brother Wang to pour wine for his brother?"

The corners of Fan Jiangong's mouth raised, and he said: "What's the matter, big brother, I am the king of Shu, can't I pour wine for the widow's younger brother? Didn't Brother Wang say that he wants to protect you, if he is reluctant to give you even a glass of wine, then Brother Wang will make people laugh at him." ”

Fan Liye, who was holding a wine glass, was stunned for a moment.

He is not as good as Fan Jiangong in reading, but it does not mean that his brain is not good.

He couldn't hear the meaning of Fan Jiangong's words.

Seeing Fan Liye in a daze, Fan Jiangong coughed lightly and said, "Little Er, what are you doing?

Fan Liye came back to his senses, handed over the wine glass, bowed his head slightly, and said: "Shicai remembered his father, so he was a little distracted, and I hope that Brother Wang will not be surprised." ”

Fan Jiangong poured wine and said, "Where is the eldest brother so petty as you say? Do you remember the incident when the eldest brother was angry with you when you were a child?"

Hearing Fan Jiangong mention the incident when he was a child, Fan Jiangong smiled.

When he was a child, he had a few quarrels with his eldest brother Fan Jiangong, although every time he Fan Liye was reprimanded by his mother, he was still very happy in his heart.

Because every time he cries, it's the big brother in front of him.

And he always looks like a victory, with his neck held high.

His father also praised him, saying that he was proud.

But today,

From the moment he entered this study, his arrogance was tightly hidden in his body, and he did not exude any arrogance.

He has nothing to be proud of.

In the past, Fan Jiangong needed his mother's support for him, but today, the crown on his head was a little dazzling.

It's already like this, even if he can't bear it?

Besides, as long as he Fan Liye doesn't give him Fan Jiangong a chance to grab pigtails, what can he do?

Anyway, in his Fan Jiangong's eyes, he shouldn't have appeared in this palace.

Glancing at Fan Jiangong, Fan Liye grabbed his chopsticks and ate big.

Fan Jiangong said with a smile: "Eat slowly, no one will rob you, and so are you, you have been eating like this since you were a child, where is a bit of a princely prince." ”

Fan Liye said while chewing: "Don't hide it from Brother Wang, my brother is indeed tired and hungry these days. ”

Fan Jiangong picked up the wine glass, put it to his lips, and took a sip.

Fan Liye also grabbed the wine glass, but did not salute Fan Jiangong, but drank it all, after putting down the wine glass, he grabbed the wine jug, poured it for himself, and looked at Fan Jiangong's wine glass again.

Fan Jiangong said: "Don't pay attention to me, you can drink it yourself." ”

Fan Liye let out a "hmm" and continued to eat.

Looking at Fan Liye, who was eating a lot, Fan Jiangong sneered in his heart.

What kind of virtue has Fan Liye had since he was a child, and when he was a big brother, he didn't know what he was still pretending to be in front of himself?

Since entering the door, he has always adhered to the courtesy of kings and ministers, when did he Fan Liye understand etiquette like this? I have never seen him like this in front of his father.

Do you really think you'll be fooled by him?

How long has he been seated?

He Fan Jiangong didn't want to be infamous for bullying his younger brother.

It's like this dish and this wine, if he, who is the eldest brother, wants to give it to this younger brother, he can eat it as much as he wants, but if he doesn't want to give it......

The wine glass in his hand fell on the table, and Fan Jiangong suddenly said, "Little Er, that Yuan Xi has already entered the city." ”

Fan Liye, who was holding a chopstick of bacon, paused, looked at Fan Jiangong and said, "Brother Wang, can you send someone to arrest him?"

After asking, he went back to eating.

Fan Jiangong carefully stared at the change in Fan Liye's expression, and said casually: "This king has not done anything, and the palace is solid right now, but I am afraid that he will not dare to come on Yuan Xi." ”

Fan Liye took a sip of wine and said, "If the courtier's brother guesses well, he must have gone to Wei Shuai's mansion." ”

Fan Jiangong smiled: "You guessed right, then tell me, why did he go to Wei Shuai's mansion, and what did he do when he went to Wei Shuai's mansion?"

Fan Liye put down his chopsticks, looked at Fan Jiangong and said: "Brother Wang, he came to the palace on Yuan Xi, but he couldn't do anything, I'm afraid that he still won't go back, since he can't come to the palace, then his goal is only Wei Shuai." ”

"As for what he was doing in Wei Shuai's mansion on Yuan Xi, the younger brother couldn't guess it, of course, it was very likely that it was our guess before. ”

Speaking of this, Fan Liye was puzzled: "Since Brother Wang knows that Yuan Xi went to Wei Shuai's mansion, why don't you send someone over immediately?"

Fan Jiangong stood up and said with his hands behind his back: "Have you forgotten, in this Ziyang City, who has the most soldiers and horses?"

Fan Liye frowned and said, "Brother Wang, then let him swagger to find Wei Shuai on Yuan Xi?"

Fan Jiangong turned around, walked in front of Fan Liye, patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, Mr. Jia was sent by this king to protect Wei Shuai, with Mr. Jia's ability, presumably he may not dare to break into Wei Shuai's mansion easily." Xiao Er, Wei Shuai can't leave the door open, let Yuan Xi enter for the first time. ”

Fan Liye nodded and said: "Brother Wang has no last resort, but the younger brother is too worried!"

Fan Jiangong said with a smile: "I am grateful that Mr. Jia is here, Xiao Er, this king heard that you have worshiped under Mr. Jia, but is it true?"

Fan Liye's mind moved slightly, and he wanted to stand up, but Fan Jiangong pressed his shoulder, so he had to sit, looked up at Fan Jiangong sideways and said: "Brother Wang also knows that his younger brother likes to practice martial arts since he was a child, and seeing that Mr. Jia's martial arts are unpredictable, he begged Mr. Jia to teach me some of the mastery of Qingyun Sect. ”

Fan Jiangong patted Fan Liye on the shoulder, went back to his seat and sat down, filled the wine glass, and motioned for Fan Liye to take the wine glass.

Fan Liye didn't pretend anymore, pushed the wine glass over and said: "But after all, I am the son of the king, and my father will not agree to me really entering the Qingyun Sect at that time, so although I am commensurate with Mr. Jia's master and apprentice, Mr. Jia did not really teach all the absolute knowledge of the Qingyun Sect to his younger brothers." Right now, I'm just going to play a few tricks indiscriminately, and as for the internal strength, I haven't even touched the threshold. ”

Fan Jiangong picked up his wine glass and asked, "Xiao Er, what do you think of Mr. Jia?"

Fan Liye's heart froze, he suddenly asked what he was doing with this?

Picking up the wine glass, Fan Liye pondered and said, "Brother Jia thinks that Mr. Jia is a virtuous person. ”

"Oh?"

Fan Jiangong looked at Fan Liye and said in a low voice: "A man of great virtue, how did the king hear that it was he Jia Nanfeng who killed his father?"

When Fan Liye heard this, he stood up in shock, and then knelt in front of Fan Jiangong and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is not that the courtier's brother deliberately concealed it, but because his brother Jia Nanfeng has been around the king, and the courtier's brother can't find the opportunity to mention this matter to the king, besides, it's ......."

Fan Jiangong sighed and said: "You get up, Brother Wang didn't come to ask you for the guilt, Xiao Er, now Brother Wang is a credible person, but you are the only one left!"

Fan Liye stood up.

Fan Jiangong said: "Sit down, this matter is what Wei Shuai said and listened to this king." ”

After Fan Liye sat down again, he hesitated for a moment and said: "Brother Wang, the younger brother has also thought about this matter, maybe the little eunuch named Ye Bei has lost his eyes, after all, whether it is Mr. Jia or Yuan Xi, his secret weapon techniques are all amazing, in fact, he can see it as a little eunuch who has never seen anything? Besides, only me, Wei Shuai, and Lu Yiping knew about this matter that day, what is the point of him telling this matter?"

Fan Jiangong pondered for a moment and asked, "Xiao Er, where was Mr. Jia when Ye Bei said this?"

Fan Liye said: "At that time, Mr. Jia and Ning Kai were chasing after that Yuan Xi. ”

Fan Jiangong was puzzled: "In this case, why don't Wei Shuai and Lu Yiping decide that he Jia Nanfeng is the culprit?"

Fan Liye remembered what happened that day in his mind, and said to Fan Jiangong: "Brother Wang, my father was killed by a cloud, and this cloud was the sunspot held by Yuan Xi. ”

"At that time, after the three of us heard what Ye Bei said, we were also suspicious of Mr. Jia, so we went to check on the body of our father, which was the cloud that Lu Yiping personally took out of my father's head, so we concluded that my father was killed by Yuan Xi. ”

Fan Jiangong frowned and thought for a while and said, "If Lu Yiping and Wei Shuai are the people behind the scenes, why don't you splash dirty water on Mr. Jia's body at that time." ”

Fan Liye secretly said in his heart that in addition to being suspicious and suspicious, this eldest brother has some skills, and he also has the ability to find women.

Fan Liye shook the wine glass in his hand, and his face also showed a puzzled look.

Seeing that Fan Jiangong didn't speak, he hesitated: "Brother Wang, my brother thinks that if Wei Shuai and Lu Yiping were so hasty at that time that Mr. Jia was the real murderer, I would not agree. The two of them will not kill my brother and me, then the two of them are blatantly opposed. ”

Fan Jiangong slapped the table and said, "Yes, it's the same as this king." ”

After speaking, he said with hatred: "It's a shame that my father trusts him so much Wei Tiangang, and this king also married his granddaughter as a concubine, is this how he treats my Fan family?"

Fan Liye was overjoyed in his heart, and then patted the table and said: "What Brother Wang said is very true, just as Brother Wang thought in his heart, even if he Wei Tiangang had an objection in his heart, he would not dare to commit murder directly in this Ziyang City, after all, there are clouds in the east, and there is near Liang in the west, and Deputy Marshal Feng's army is also on the way back, judging from the people and horses, it is not the best time for him to make a move." ”

Hearing Fan Liye mention the two cities of Yunshang and Jinliang, Fan Jiangong was silent for a moment and said: "The king of Jinliang City can ensure that everything is fine, but Chu Weidong of Yunshang City ......"

Fan Liye said: "Brother Wang, have you forgotten the tiger talisman in your hand? The younger brother didn't think that General Chu could collude with Wei Tiangang, on the contrary, the younger brother thought that General Chu was the confidant of his father, otherwise, why would he hand over such an important city to him to garrison." ”

Fan Jiangong nodded and said: "You are right, this king remembers that when the widow went to near Liangcheng, his father ordered Wei Tiangang to send a large army to Yunshang City. ”

Fan Liye nodded and said, "When Brother Wang said this, it reminded my brother of one thing!"

"What's the matter?"

Fan Liye thought for a while and said: "Brother Wang doesn't know, between my father and Wei Shuai, there was a rift about whether Jingzhou used troops, and my brother guessed that my father ordered Wei Shuai to send half of his men to Yunshang City, maybe to guard against Wei Shuai." ”

Fan Jiangong bowed slightly.

After thinking about it, he said to Fan Liye: "Little Er, have you ever thought that if Wei Shuai really has a problem, what should we do?

Fan Liye wanted to laugh a little, there is such a new king in Bazhou, and he doesn't know whether it is a blessing or a curse.

He arched his hand and said: "Brother Wang, according to Brother Chen's humble opinion, this matter must not be reckless, even if there is Vice Marshal Feng's army outside the city, but we are in the city, this is not the time to tear his face with him, otherwise he just needs to stick to Ziyang City, with us as a threat, Vice Marshal Feng will be jealous, but he can't do anything about it." ”

Fan Jiangong nodded and said, "You have a lot of sense. ”

Fan Liye continued: "Brother Wang, you still have to listen to Vice Marshal Feng's opinion, we can only count on him now." ”

Fan Jiangong suddenly became a little nervous, he clenched his fists tightly and asked, "Little Er, what should I do if there is an accident tonight?"

Fan Liye thought for a while and said: "Since Yuan Xi went to Wei Shuai's mansion, the ministers thought that it was better to invite Vice Marshal Feng to the palace first, and we would wait and see what happened." ”

Fan Jiangong nodded and said, "You are right, in this way, don't go to your father's wake, just stay with Brother Wang tonight!"

At this moment, there was a knock on the door,

Hou Mink Temple said outside the door: "Your Majesty, the old slave Hou Mink Temple has something important to report to the king!"

——————————

"Smack".

It's the sound of stones crashing.

Yuan Xi gently rubbed the smooth cloud in his hand, and said to Jia Nanfeng: "Mr. Jia, it seems that you are a little shameless to make such a move." ”

Jia Nanfeng chuckled and said, "Don't think that the old man doesn't know that you are going to kill Wei Shuai secretly. ”

After speaking, he said to Wei Tiangang: "Wei Shuai, Fang Cai Yuanxi suddenly shot at you, fortunately the old man was close to you, and he shot down his hidden weapon with a flying locust stone." ”

Wei Tiangang snorted coldly and said, "Jia Nanfeng, until now, you still dare to quibble here, do you really think that the old man is old and confused?"

Jia Nanfeng was puzzled: "What does Wei Shuai mean by this? Could it be that I rescued you and saved you by mistake?"

Wei Tiangang ignored Jia Nanfeng and said to the left and right: "Leave ten people to protect Ben Shuai, and the others, quickly capture this person, remember, there is no need to stay alive." ”

With that, he dodged into the house.

Seeing the thirty people in front of Wei Tiangang raise their arms and rush towards him, Jia Nanfeng waved his sleeves, shaking up a piece of broken tiles, and then tiptoed a little and flew away in the direction of the courtyard wall.

Dozens of Hidden Arrows were knocked off quite a few by the broken tiles, and the rest also missed.

After shooting the hidden arrows, the thirty guards did not hesitate, and drew their knives to the roof one after another, to chase Jia Nanfeng.

The whistle sounded, and the courtyard became noisy.

Yuan Xi frowned when he saw it, and three clouds flew out and went straight to Jia Nanfeng, who had fled far away.

It's just that the two of them are far away, and Jia Nanfeng has been guarding against him, and these three clouds are all in vain.

Yuan Xi sighed and didn't chase out.

Because he knew that even if he chased him out, he would return in vain in the end.

Besides, he really can't beat Jia Nanfeng.

Flew off the roof.

The ten guards guarding the door took a step forward with a wary look on their faces.

"Let him in!"

Hearing Wei Tiangang's mouth, the guard flashed to the side.

A light lit up in the room.

Yuan Xi pushed the door in.

After entering the house, Yuan Xi walked towards the light.

His expression moved slightly.

Wei Tiangang smiled: "Come here, don't pay attention to him, that's your own person!"

Yuan Xi walked up to Wei Tiangang and saluted and said, "Boy Yuan Xi, I've seen Wei Shuai!"

Wei Tiangang glanced at Yuan Xi a few times and said, "Dare to come to Ziyang City alone, not bad, very good!"

Yuan Xi grinned and said, "It's me who trusts Wei Shuai!"

Motioning for Yuan Xi to sit down, Wei Tiangang shook his head and said, "Don't put a high hat on the old man, just as Ben Shuai doubts you, you won't trust Ben Shuai." ”

Yuan Xi smiled and did not speak.

Wei Tiangang handed Lu Yiping's token to Yuan Xi and said in a low voice: "I didn't expect that this matter was all planned by him Jia Nanfeng, thinking about it like this, this person is really terrifying." ”

Yuan Xi put away his smile and said in a deep voice: "Wei Shuai, General Lu is worried that this person is trying to provoke civil strife in my Bazhou. ”

Wei Tiangang nodded and said, "I'm afraid that's the case!"

After speaking, he slapped the table and said hatefully: "I can't imagine that this handsome horse will be played by him in his life!"

Yuan Xi thought for a while and said, "Wei Shuai, what should we do now?" I'm afraid that when he Jia Nanfeng returns to the palace, it's time to play right and wrong again." ”

Wei Tiangang frowned, suddenly stood up and said, "It's not good, we have fallen for this person's plan again, and Ben Shuai wants to go to the palace immediately." ”

Yuan Xi thought for a while and said, "Wei Shuai, I'm afraid that after you go to the palace, you will not return." ”

Wei Tiangang thought for a while, flicked his sleeves and scolded: "No wonder he Fan Jiangong is so close to Feng Yuan, it turns out that he has long been on guard against the old man, and in vain Benshuai also married his granddaughter to him." It's really a lack of erection and conspiracy!"

Yuan Xi was not interested in these things, and what he was most concerned about at the moment was how to relieve the siege of Pingnan City.

After thinking about it, he asked, "Wei Shuai, do you have any message to bring to General Lu?"

Wei Tiangang stretched out his hand to support his forehead, at this moment, he had already thought of many possibilities in his heart, and among all these possibilities, Fan Jiangong believed that the kind of possibility that Wei Tiangang had was the smallest.

To be in this position today, he didn't rely on luck.

It was impossible for him to sit still.

He raised his head and asked, "Yuan Xi, did Yiping bring soldiers and horses over?"

Since you have been forced to this road, why not follow this road?

As long as the initiative is in your own hands, those truths are meaningless.

Because the only one who wants to know the truth is probably the former king who died with hatred.

But he was already a dead man.

Wei Tiangang even thought of a possibility.

No, that's the truth.

Yuan Xi shook his head and said, "General Lu doesn't know what the situation in the city is, except for me, he only brought two personal guards. ”

Hearing that Lu Yiping didn't bring people to come, Wei Tiangang shook his head, sat on the chair, and was stunned for a while and said: "In this case, you go out of the city, tell Yiping, don't have the intention of entering the city, and return to Pingnan City immediately, now you can only take one step at a time." ”

Yuan Xi was puzzled: "Wei Shuai, in this case, wouldn't it be just a trick of his Jia Nanfeng?"

Wei Tiangang looked up to the sky and sighed: "The matter has come to this, the wood has been completed, even if Ben Shuai and Yiping go to the palace to defend themselves, I am afraid that except for being caught by that dim-witted Fan Jiangong, nothing will be changed." In the end, he could only give his life in vain. Yuan Xi, you talk about it, is it worth it?"

Yuan Xi shook his head and said, "In my opinion, nature is not worth it. ”

Wei Tiangang waved his hand and said, "Then you go!"

Yuan Xi was stunned for a moment and asked, "What about you, Wei Shuai?"

Wei Tiangang said with a smile: "Ben Shuai still has some ability to protect himself!"

After speaking, he took out a token from his arms and handed it to Yuan Xi and said: "You also hand over this token to Yiping, there are still all the people under me in Yunshang City, and Yiping can use this token to deploy." In addition, you tell Yiping to tell Chu Weidong of Cloud City the truth, remember, you only need to tell Chu Weidong the truth immediately, and the rest depends on him Chu Weidong's own choice. ”

Yuan Xi nodded, took the token into his arms, and turned to leave.

The lights went out and there was a sigh.
