Chapter 41: The Gate of the Palace

In the evening, Fan Yong arrived at Xiyuan Restaurant an hour in advance with a sharp knife with a bull's ear, asked for a table at the door, sat down with a gloomy face, and stared at the guests in and out with a pair of eyes. A few guests wanted to come in for dinner, but Fan Yong stared at them uncomfortably, and hurriedly turned around and left. Xiao Er stepped forward to greet him, but he slapped the table and shouted "Get out!", so frightened that he stumbled under his feet, and almost sat down, and he didn't dare to step forward at the moment, and finally had to sit with Fan Yong.

About the time he arrived, a young man Shi Shiran walked into the Xiyuan Restaurant, although he was wearing peasant clothes, but his bearing was like the prince and grandson of a family.

The young man did not shy away from Fan Yong's murderous gaze, but smiled at him and walked straight to the second floor. The shopkeeper greeted him with a smile on his face and said, "This official, the banquet you ordered has been prepared, but do you want to send it to the box now?"

The young man smiled and said, "Let's wait first, the guest I invited looked a little anxious, I was afraid that he didn't want to eat, but spoiled things." After speaking, he turned his head and nodded at Fan Yong.

It turned out that you kidnapped my wife and child! Fan Yong's eyes turned red, he stood up and walked up to the young man, gritted his teeth, and said, "Your Excellency invited me to meet here?"

"It's down there," the young man said nonchalantly, "Fan Jielang, please." After speaking, he turned his back to Fan Yong and slowly paced up to the second floor.

Fan Yong forcibly pressed the killing intent in his chest, followed the man inch by inch, and as soon as he entered the box, Fan Yong took the numb tendon on the man's shoulder with his left hand, and pulled out a sharp knife with his right hand and stabbed the man in the waist.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he handed out his move, the young man took half a step to the right like a long eye behind his back, just avoiding Fan Yong's left hand, and at the same time, Fan Yong only felt that the wrist of his right hand was numb, and the ox ear sharp knife had fallen out of his hand, and then he saw a flower in front of him, and his throat had been held against a sharp weapon - it was his own bull ear sharp knife, which was held in the young man's hand at this time.

Fan Yong's face is like ashes, he has always been very complacent about his martial arts, but this time he didn't even see how people made a move, he was restrained, looking at the young man who was a few years younger than himself, but this body of kung fu is so high that he can't reach it even if he practices for another twenty years.

The young man smiled slightly, flipped his wrist, held the knife upside down, and sent the handle to Fan Yong, who took it in frustration, but he couldn't think of making a move. He hung his head and said dejectedly: "Respect the martial arts, admire it." But kidnapping a man's wife and child is not the work of a good man, so why bother to do such a bad deed and ruin your reputation?"

The young man smiled and didn't answer, but said, "It seems that Fan Jielang has calmed down, that's fine, I just want to ask you, do you want to reunite with your wife and children?"

"Of course, what do you want, money? I don't have much money, but I can mortgage the house and borrow money from people......"

Before he finished speaking, the young man shook his head and said, "There is no need for money, as long as you do something for me, I will return your family to Zhao tomorrow." ”

Fan Yong said excitedly: "What is it? You can say it, as long as I do my best, I will definitely risk my life to do it!"

The young man's lips moved lightly, and he sent a passage into Fan Yong's ears with the skill of transmitting the sound into the secret.

Fan Yong exclaimed: "It turns out that your goal is King Zheng! Do you want to kill him or save him? No matter what, it is a disaster of raiding the family and destroying the clan!"

The young man said calmly, "Don't worry, as long as you do what I tell you, no one will know what you have done." Or do you want to go back on it?"

Fan Yong frowned, thought for a while, and said, "Even if I do what you say, you still can't get in." Do you know how heavily guarded King Zheng's Mansion is?"

"I want to hear about it. ”

Fan Yong said: "The gate outside King Zheng's Mansion is guarded by me and another guard leader in turn. Behind the gate is an open courtyard, in addition to the low flowers and trees, there are no mountains and rocks and big trees to cover, so all the wind and grass in the courtyard can not hide from the guard towers at the four corners of the mansion, once there is an invasion of outsiders, they will immediately blow the alarm whistle, and the Baokang army stationed next to it will not be able to surround the entire Zheng Wangfu in a short time.

As for the mansion in the middle of the courtyard, I only know that it is very strong, and there are two eunuchs with extremely high martial arts in it, guarding King Zheng and the Empress Dowager Zhou inch by inch, as for whether there are other organs or guards, I don't know.

Therefore, even if I let you in, you will not be able to do anything, and you will have to implicate me. ”

The young man nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes, you are very well-behaved, and you did not deliberately say anything wrong. Don't worry, I know the situation of King Zheng's Mansion better than you, you take this thing, act according to your words when the time comes, take down the sentry and the gate for me, and I have my own arrangements for the rest. After speaking, he handed Fan Yong an inconspicuous copper wrench.

Fan Yong's face changed brightly, but when he thought of his own child, he still gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, I will answer this matter! I just hope that Your Excellency will be true to your words, and after the matter is over, the family will be returned safely, otherwise I will not let you go even if I am a ghost!"

In the evening of the next day, Fan Yong went to King Zheng's mansion to be on duty as usual. When he arrived at King Zheng's mansion, another guard, Yao Li, had already arrived first.

When Yao Li saw Fan Yong coming, he said hello and said "Good leader", Fan Yong stepped forward and patted Yao Li on the shoulder, saying "hard work", and then the two exchanged a few words of greeting, and then they each guarded the door.

After a short time, four sergeants walked out of the Baokang military camp and walked straight to King Zheng's mansion. These four people were the sentries who were on duty at the Wangfu watchtower at night, and it was the time of their shift.

Fan Yong and Yao Li saw the waist cards of the four people, so they opened the corner door and let them in. Fan Yong changed his usual stereotype, said "hard" to every sentry, and patted them on the shoulder affectionately. The sentries wondered in their hearts: This guy who relies on his identity on weekdays and looks down on us soldiers the most, why did he change his smiling face today, could it be that he won the gambling money last night?

They may have seen an extra copper wrench on Fan Yong's right thumb, but they wouldn't have thought that this seemingly ordinary wrench actually had something else inside: as long as they gently rotated half a turn, a thin needle would spit out from the center of the wrench. And Fan Yong just pierced the thin needle into their bodies by patting them on the shoulder.

About half an hour later, the sky was already completely dark, and the medicinal power on the thin needle began to work, whether it was Yao Li or the four sentinels, they couldn't resist the heavy sleepiness and fell asleep.

Fan Yong shook Yao Li lightly a few times, and when he saw that he was sleeping soundly, he drew three circles towards the southeast with a fire fold.

Soon, four black-clothed men flew in from the southeast, looking at their figures, one of them was the young man in the restaurant last night.

The man stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Are the people outside all settled?"

Fan Yong said: "According to your orders, one person and one needle, all of them slept soundly." ”

The man nodded, and was about to cross Fan Yong into the courtyard, but was pulled by Fan Yong, "I did as you said, what about my wife and children?"

The man whispered an address and said, "Your wife and children are inside, and you will go and take them home tomorrow." ”

Fan Yong wanted to say something more, but he felt a pain in his heart, and he had fainted by a person behind him. (To be continued.) )
