Xiao Fan walked in front, although he was out of the palace hall, his ears were so keen, and he listened to the conversation between Master Zhang and Zhao Quan in his ears.

"Master Zhang, you are at this age, it is better to return to your hometown as soon as possible, maybe you can still enjoy Qingfu. ”

Another voice came into Xiao Fan's ears, this was the voice of Prime Minister Tai Yan.

Xiao Fan left the square of the palace hall, and two people greeted him and took him to the general's mansion in Dongcheng District.

Along the way, Xiao Fan was thinking about what happened in the court today. The reaction of each officer was noted at that time. Although most of the ministers did not speak, Xiao Fan could feel that most of the people in the court were towards Zhao Taishi and Tai Cheng.

Judging from the words and deeds of Taishi Zhao and Prime Minister Tai, Xiao Fan felt that these two people were not loyal, but that Lord Zhang was bent on Jiangshan Sheji. Xiao Fan can be regarded as having personally experienced the emperor Zhao Song Hui Yuan Xianchen, who is close to the villain.

Xiao Fan came to the front of the general's mansion in Dongcheng District, which covers a wide area and looks very imposing. Immediately after entering the mansion, several subordinates greeted them, and two people who came here with Xiao Fan accompanied Xiao Fan into the hall of the General's Mansion.

"General Xiao, wait a minute, the guards of the General's Mansion are being transferred and will be here soon. ”

The two people who accompanied Xiao Fan here said.

"Hmm. ”

Xiao Fan nodded slightly.

About a quarter of an hour later, there was the sound of neat and tidy footsteps outside. Then a middle-aged man dressed in a general's uniform walked in.

"Wang Yi, the head of the subordinate seven-rank guard, see General Xiao!"

"Get up. ”

Xiao Fan said that he was a little unaccustomed to others kneeling in front of him.

"Yes, General!" Wang Yi stood up and said, "My subordinates are here with five hundred guards, and I ask the general to count the number of people." ”

"No need, you can arrange the guards of the General's Mansion yourself in the future. ”

"Yes, General!"

Wang Yi retreated, entered the general's mansion with five hundred guards, and a group scattered throughout the mansion and began to guard.

"General Xiao, if there is nothing else, we will also retire. The general must have been tired after a long journey to the capital, so we will not disturb the general's rest. ”

"Well, please go back, you two, you've got a hard time today. ”

"Where to say. ”

The two people who sent Xiao Fan over left. Xiao Fan sat on the main chair in the hall, silent, thinking about something. It wasn't until a cute little girl of thirteen or fourteen brought tea that Xiao Fan put away his thoughts.

"What's your name. ”

Xiao Fan looked at the little girl and asked with a smile.

"General, the slave is called You'er. ”

You'er looked timid.

"Do you seem to be afraid of me? Am I so scary? You don't have to be too restrained in front of me in the future, do you know the way?"

"Thank you, General, You'er knows. ”

The little girl lowered her head and whispered.

"Well, you stand down. By the way, clean up two more rooms on either side of the room prepared for me, and in those two rooms there must be dressers and screens. ”

"Yes, General, You'er will go and arrange it. ”

"Go ahead. ”

Xiao Fan nodded, a smile appeared on his face, and he got up and left the mansion. When he came back, it was with Lu Qingya.

"Sister Qingya, look at how this mansion is, the environment is not bad. It's far from the downtown area, so it's quiet. ”

"Well, it's fine. ”

Lu Qingya and Xiao Fan came to the main courtyard, which was the courtyard where their bedroom was located. In the center is a row of houses, flanked by corridors and in the middle is a pool with a small pavilion in the center and flowers and carved stones on the shore.

That night, in the study of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Taishi Zhao and Tai Yan were discussing something.

"For Xiao Fan, the chief disciple of Xuanzong that day, I don't know what the Daoist Master thinks?"

Tae-hyun said, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"Today, you have also seen it in the court, the emperor, after reading the letter, he will immediately allocate 50,000 troops to Xiao Fan. It can be seen that this Xiao Fan is really a very powerful character in Tianxuanzong. ”

Taishi Zhao said.

"Yes, the disciples of the Heavenly King's Mansion have died so many times before and after. But that Yang Zilong is not easy to deal with, and he is still alive after so long. However, if Nanlin City misses this time, several of his fierce generals will die there, which weakens his strength. And once the southern city is breached, it can also be regarded as Yang Zilong's poor defense, and you and I will play him together. ”

"As for Xiao Fan, we don't know about this person. Besides, he doesn't have any troops now, just a general who doesn't have military power, so we don't have to do anything for the time being, we just need to let people try his strength tonight. ”

"Prime Minister, what are you going to send to test Xiao Fan?"

Taishi Zhao asked.

"You can't use the original people of my Prime Minister's Mansion, and besides, it's not time for the hidden masters of our Prime Minister's Mansion to come forward. Didn't Dayan secretly transfer some masters to us, and it should also be someone from a certain big sect, we can let them try Xiao Fan. If you can get rid of it unconsciously, it can be regarded as worry-free. ”

"Well, what the Prime Minister said is very true. By the way, if Yang Zilong's subordinates are lost this time, how are we going to deal with him, should we take advantage of this to let the emperor cut off his military power?"

"It's not easy to cut off his military power. Tai Yi shook his head, and then said, "We are just using this to shake his position in the emperor's heart." This Yang Zilong is now a celebrity, and if this continues, the military power in his hands will become bigger and bigger, and when the time comes, he may really be able to repel the armies of Dayan and Chifeng, and in this case, our position in the DPRK will be shaken. What we have to do now is to let the empire be in turmoil, but we can't let the empire be defeated, and we can't let Yang Zilong push back the two empires so quickly. In the middle of this, we can use the emperor's mind to strengthen our position. ”

"The prime minister is really thoughtful. Zhao Taishi smiled, and then said: "There are still some people in the court who don't know how to lift, that Lord Zhang is a thorn, and he is a veteran of the three dynasties, and the emperor can still listen to what he says, we have to find a way to get rid of this person as soon as possible, otherwise the next time we discuss and pay compensation, that old thing will definitely use this to play us again, and after a long time, the emperor will inevitably be suspicious." ”

"Well, this one is not in a hurry, he is the one who is dying. Now what we have to do is to find out Xiao Fan's strength, as well as the grain and grass and 20,000 soldiers and horses, don't make a mistake. After you go back later, you immediately send someone out of the city to inform the second prince of the Red Wind Empire, saying that Nanlin City is now short of food and grass, and let them attack the city as soon as possible. Otherwise, as soon as the grain and grass on our side arrive, it will be difficult for them to take the city. ”

"Prime Minister, you can rest assured, I will not make any mistakes in this matter. ”

Taishi Zhao said with a smile.

"I naturally believe in Taishi, and we have been working together for more than ten years. ”

Tae-byun said with a smile.

So I went first, and went back to arrange all this. ”

"If the master walks slowly, the true appearance will not be sent. ”

After Zhao Taishi left, Prime Minister Tai Yan opened the mechanism button in the study, and a secret door appeared with a squeak, and two black-clothed people walked out of it.

"Prime Minister Tai. ”

"Two, today Tianxuan Sect has a chief disciple who is here to help the empire fight. I heard that this person's cultivation is very good. Ben Xiang wants you to infiltrate the Dongcheng District General's Mansion to try his skills, and preferably assassinate him. ”

"Chief disciple?" a look of surprise flashed in the eyes of a man in black and asked, "What is the name of the chief disciple?"

"Xiao Fan. ”

"Xiao Fan?" The two men in black immediately smiled when they heard this, and said, "Prime Minister, please rest assured, we have heard of this Xiao Fan before, this person has only been in the sect for two years, and he is not much stronger if he wants to." If we intervene, he will surely die. ”

"Very well, this is here waiting for your good news. ”

"Yes. ”

The two men in black were gone, and in a flash their figures came out of the window, and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.

In other words, Xiao Fan walked out of the General's Mansion and originally wanted to quietly go to the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Taishi's Mansion to see if there was any movement. As a result, before he got closer, he saw a black shadow flying out of the Taishi's Mansion, and the light exercise method was not bad, and it was more than ten meters long on the house.

"There is a man in black from the Taishi Mansion!"

Xiao Fan was shocked, and flew to the roof silently, chasing all the way. Until he approached the south gate, the man in black hid in a corner, quickly took off the black clothes on his body, changed into civilian clothes, and then swaggered towards the city gate.

Xiao Fan saw the man in black take out a token from his arms, and the soldiers guarding the city didn't even ask, and directly opened the city gate for him to travel.

"Open the city gates, I have something important to do out of the city!"

Xiao Fan came to the gate of the city and said to the soldiers guarding the city.

"Who are you? You are not allowed to go out of the city at such a late hour, so you should go back quickly!"

"Open the gates!"

Xiao Fan drank coldly, took out the general's token and shook it in front of several people, and those stone gates guarding the city were suddenly startled.

"Open the gates, quick!"

A squad leader walked up quickly, nodding his head.

Out of the city gate, Xiao Fan sensed the breath left by the man in black and quickly chased down.

A hundred miles away there is a small mountain range, densely wooded and overgrown with weeds, and there is an eerie feeling in the silence of the night. Xiao Fan saw the man in black sneak into the forest, followed him all the way, and finally saw him meet another masked man in black.

"Here's a secret letter, please give it to the second prince quickly. ”

"Zhilu Dao, how many letters is this?"

"In order to ensure that the news can be delivered to the second prince, this is already the second secret letter, and the first secret letter has been sent for more than an hour. ”

"Okay, go back and tell the Taishi, we won't forget the benefits given to him. ”

"Farewell!"

The two men met and soon separated. Xiao Fan originally planned to leave both of them behind, but after hearing their conversation, he gave up his plan to do it.

A secret letter with the same information has already been sent, and there is no point in intercepting this secret letter. Regardless of what was written in the letter, it was certain that Zhao Quan and Zhao Taishi had an affair with the enemy country and informed the Red Wind Empire of important information about the empire.
