Fan Xian and Wei Hua, the two biggest spy leaders in the world, are like two students with pure hearts, who are speechless with admiration, and immediately sit down hand in hand, drink and talk, recall the foreign affairs in the capital, whisper about private affairs, laugh happily, and feel a lot of thoughts when they sigh...... Such a sincere expression made the officials accompanied by the Song State and the officials of the Ministry of Rites of the Northern Qi and Nanqing sides all dumbfounded, thinking that it was possible that these two had a good relationship to this extent, but immediately everyone figured out the reason, and was greatly admired and admired, thinking that in the end, it was the top spy leader, such a shameless hypocrisy, it was really a good talent, a chess opponent, and a sympathetic pity, and couldn't help it.

After sitting and gossiping for a while, everyone knew that since these two met in the Song Kingdom, they naturally had to represent the huge forces behind them to make a temptation and force out some swords with words, and if they were on the side, they would always only see the two of them hahahaha, so they consciously retreated.

The maidservants also retreated after serving, and the most luxurious single room in Baoyue Tower suddenly fell into silence. Fan Xian didn't go to the table, but sat down on the carved wooden chair on the side, his eyes were very calm, he looked at Wei Hua and said, "You guys arrived yesterday, and you came to the door today, and you really refused to give me a chance to breathe." ”

Wei Hua smiled, picked up the hot towel on the table, wiped his face, walked to Fan Xian and sat down, after thinking for a while, he said softly: "Although everyone in the world can guess that Lord Xiao Fan will definitely come in person, if I don't see it with my own eyes, how can I rest assured that I will gather thousands of people?"

Fan Xian's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said with a smile: "What's the matter? This is for you, the people of Daqi came to seek justice from me?"

Last year, the Supervision Yuan launched an offensive in Xiliang, infiltrated the Northern Qi into Dingqing Prefecture, and the spies and spies who colluded with the Hu people were wiped out, killing countless people.

At this time, there was no one else in the hall, and Fan Xian and Wei Hua naturally would not talk about it anymore, and their voices were light and cold. Wei Hua glanced at him and said in a cold voice: "Lord Xiao Fan, you and I cooperated back then, and we trusted each other, but you made such a thing last year, and you didn't inform you of the news in advance, did you go too far?"

Fan Xian raised his eyebrows, his eyes were ruthless, and he said: "You colluded with the Hu people to kill my Daqing people, do you have to inform you in advance before I do anything? Who do you think you are?"

Wei Hua's heart was slightly cold, and he knew that today's Fan Xian was no longer the gentle and amiable young man who was just starting out in Shangjing back then.

He was silent for a moment, and then said: "Don't mention the old things, it's just that this trip to Dongyi City to participate in the opening ceremony, I don't know what Lord Xiao Fan thinks in his heart." ”

"Stupid, right?" Fan Xian sneered and said: "I am the Duke of Daqing, and what I am seeking in Dongyi is naturally my Daqing interests, and you are not unclear, so why bother asking." ”

Wei Hua frowned, a little chill in his heart, thinking that although His Majesty is talented and manages the government in an orderly manner, but if the general trend is here today, Qingguo is as strong as yesterday, this trip to Dongyi, if you want to move the sword and the city lord, not to be overwhelmed by Qingguo's strength, it is really an extremely difficult task. Especially this time Nanqing sent Fan Xian, who has never seen the details of the Southern Dynasty, he really has a little drum in his heart, and he doesn't have a little confidence.

"Someone asked me to ask you a question. Wei Hua sat next to Fan Xian, lowered his voice and said, "The agreement in the restaurant back then still counts?"

As soon as these words came out, Fan Xian's face changed slightly, and there was a hint of elusive self-deprecation in his eyes, and he said softly: "Where is the agreement?"

Wei Hua's expression remained unchanged, but his brows were furrowed a little deeper, probably even he didn't know what the content of the agreement that His Majesty asked him to ask was, his throat was a little dry, and he asked, "Little Grandpa is going to break the promise?"

When Fan Xian heard this, he frowned slightly, stood up and said, "First, there has never been any agreement, and second, should you have come to talk to me about this kind of thing?"

Although Wei Hua was the commander of the Northern Qi Jinyi Guard, and he also won the trust of the Northern Qi Emperor, his status in the country was far inferior to Fan Xian. Especially when it comes to some major matters, Fan Xian is even more sure that the other party does not have the qualifications to negotiate with me.

"Dongyi City is such a big piece of venison. Fan Xian turned to look at him and said, "If there is a capable, I will not let it." ”

Wei Hua got up and responded calmly: "My Daqi naturally refuses to let in." ”

The atmosphere in the hall gradually condensed, releasing the meaning of the sword, and the cold suddenly rose, and the steaming precious dishes on the table were frozen and did not dare to exhale. Fan Xian just laughed, then sat down on the table, holding the chopsticks in one hand, and said casually: "Looking around the sword invitation, of course there is more than one you in Northern Qi, I am curious, who is your real master." ”

Wei Hua naturally wouldn't answer this question, but the chill in his heart became stronger and stronger, and looking at the young and handsome official of the Southern Dynasty in front of him, he was extremely jealous. In today's world, it is clear that Fan Xian controls the Supervision Yuan with one hand and the Inner Treasury with the other, and is the right-hand man of His Majesty the Emperor of Qingguo, if you want to weaken the strength of Qingguo, it is of course a wonderful choice to be able to kill this person.

However, Wei Hua can't make this decision, and he is not qualified to make this decision, the Northern Qi Imperial Court has noticed the power of Fan Xian after the recent two Chun incidents, for this kind of person, it is good to be able to kill, but if you can't kill it, there will be endless troubles.

And in this world, who can kill Fan Xian? The eldest princess back then couldn't do it, and neither could the sniping arranged by the Qin family in the valley, could it be that it was the Jinyi Guards of the Northern Qi Dynasty, or the Jiupin assassins of the Dongyi City Sword House along the way?

Wei Hua reined in his thoughts, sat down again, tried his best to stabilize his feelings, and accompanied Fan Xian, who had recovered his calmness, to use the dishes and gossip.

――――――――――――――――――― the fact that the two most powerful forces in the world were the two most powerful forces in the world, and the fact that the two major missions who went to Dongyi City to see the opening ceremony actually met so coincidentally at the beginning of their entry into the control of Dongyi City, this fact made many people feel panic and uneasy. In particular, the leading disciple of the Sword House in Dongyi City, the ceremonial official of the City Lord's Mansion, was even more excited, for fear that after the two families were red and anxious, they would fight.

The two sides of the embassy combined, there were five hundred people, and they happened to live in two adjacent courtyards, and every time they went in and out, the officials of both sides were on both sides of the long street, and under the hostile confrontation, it really looked a little terrifying, and a thousand eyes were killing people with their eyes, and no one would be too happy if they were in this environment.

Wei Hua was worried, but his appearance was calm. It was Fan Xian who was really calm, he was not worried about any danger in this trip at all, unless Si Gu Jian had already made a crazy decision at this time, and no one in the entire Dongyi City would dare to risk Emperor Qing's wrath and attack Nanqing's mission.

The officials and princes of the Song Kingdom did not dare to offend either side, and they all used the highest etiquette and the most luxurious use to express their sincerity, especially for Nanqing Yubo Gongfan, who was even more humble to the extreme.

Fortunately, the first intimate contact between the two envoys in Dongyi only lasted one day, Wei Hua did not get any information from Fan Xian's side that could be comforted, and the uneasiness in his heart became more and more serious, and there was no jīng god to continue to test the conditions that Nanqing was going to give Dongyi City, and left the Song Kingdom in advance.

The officials of the Song State and the reception staff who came from Dongyi City looked at this scene and breathed a sigh of relief. However, on the afternoon of the day when the Northern Qi delegation left, Fan Xian gave an order, and the Nanqing delegation also followed.

This was three days, Fan Xian was just stuck in the carriage, and he didn't seem to be worried about what would happen to Dongyi City, but the officials of the Qingguo Rite Department knew that the Northern Qi mission was in front, and they also suppressed the speed of their own team, and did not make contact with the other party again.

After sleeping lazily for a few days, Fan Xian finally found some problems from the speed of the team, he frowned and asked: "According to the original itinerary, it should be to Longshan now, why did you enter Huaishang?"

Shi Xianli also felt a little strange, and asked the members of the Qinian team of the Supervision Yuan in front of him, only to understand the reason, and returned to the car and said: "The speed of the Northern Qi mission is too slow, and I don't know if the Lord Wei is unwilling to go to Dongyi City to meet the defeat, so he deliberately walked slowly. ”

These words were said with a smile, but Fan Xian did not laugh, Shi Xian stood up, thinking to himself Is there a big problem with slower?

Fan Xian scratched his head, frowned and asked, "What if...... Someone from Northern Qi has left Shangjing City, and the information will reach my carriage, how many days will it take?"

"At least eight days. ”

"In other words, if someone left Northern Qi to go to Beijing five days ago, and I have no way of knowing?" Fan Xian shook his head and said, "If it is really that woman who comes, the news must be well hidden." If she really came to Dongyi City, I was afraid that she would enter the Sword House in just two days. ”

His brow furrowed, and he said, "And we're still on the road." ”

Shi Yanli's heart was slightly cold, and he said softly: "Even if Miss Begonia goes to Dongyi City in advance, it won't affect anything. ”

Fan Xian smiled and didn't say anything, but he thought in his heart that Wei Hua's kid actually used this kind of unprecedentedly put on the table to buy time for the lobbyists of Northern Qi to meet Si Gu Jian alone, which was really interesting.

However, what is interesting for Northern Qi is quite boring for Fan Xian today. Therefore, when the vast convoy of the mission had just entered Longshan City, he summoned the officials of the mission and the subordinates of the Supervision Yuan to make a decision that made his subordinates jaw-dropping.

However, no one dared to oppose Fan Xian's decision.

―――――――――――――――――― is another year of chūn, and the catkins are floating all over the sky, fluttering and sprinkling for thousands of miles, like snowflakes swaggering in the warm wind. Soaring up, covering the outline of the city, covering the light of the sea, so that pedestrians hide their faces and walk quickly, doing collective grief, how can there be half a feeling of enjoyment.

Two merchants in hats stood in the middle of the flying flotsam. It was evident that these were two strangers from out of town, and they were not at all disgusted with the annoying catkins, but were a little intoxicated by them, and stood by the carriage to admire them.

"It's really the best scenery in the world, but it's a pity that this world's most heroic city is covered, and I can't see it clearly...... Ahh

The older hatter next to him didn't react, just looked at the catkins in the air in a daze, and only woke up after a while, and said lightly: "Such a big city, you can see it clearly when you get closer, these catkins were often seen when I was a child, but they were all dissipated in two days, young master, your luck is good...... But when it comes to the scenery of the world, these rì cars pass through the chūn road, you are sleeping, and you don't see that you are a person who likes to enjoy the scenery. ”

The young hatter lifted the brim of his hat and squinted at the pedestrians and merchants who were shuttling and the city in the distance, revealing his usual and dignified face, and a smile flashed in his eyes.

This person was not a bystander, it was Nanqing Fan Xian, for some reason, he took the risk to break away from the large army of the mission, and only took the person next to him to Dongyi City.

Although Dongyi City should not have done anything to Fan Xian at this time, who knows what kind of arrangements the Northern Qi people have laid out here, Fan Xian should not have taken such a risk, but he had a complicated premonition, it seemed that he had to come in advance, otherwise Sigu Sword might fall to the north.

And in terms of safety, he is not too worried, although there are many masters of the Nine Grades in Dongyi City, but he is now the top powerhouse of the Nine Grades, plus the number one assassin in the world around him, he can't beat people, and it shouldn't be difficult to escape.

With a shadow beside him, it is equivalent to bringing half of the six places of the Supervision Yuan.

Fan Xian glanced back at the shadow, and couldn't help but smile slightly, he made this trip to the east, so that the shadow showed his figure, and followed him by his side, those enemies who knew him very well in the world, he must never guess.

When the young man left home, Fan Xian knew why the shadow was so different from usual at this moment, and why he suddenly became so talkative.

Before Uncle Wuzhu left, there were more and more words, and the shadow of his number one admirer also said more and more, which was a very good thing in Fan Xian's opinion.

"Haven't you come back for so many years?" Fan Xian suddenly thought of something and asked in surprise.

The shadow pressed down the brim of the hat, blocking the flying flammas falling from the sky, covering his face, and said indifferently: "I can't kill him, what are you going to do when you come back?"

Fan Xian smiled and didn't say anything more, the tragedy of Dongyi City back then was too weird, except for explaining it with the Sigu Sword to go crazy and idiot, it didn't make sense at all. It's just that as a great grandmaster, no one dares to ask him anything, even if Fan Xian wants to help Shadow solve the tragic past that affected his life, he can't find a clue.

"Your idiot big brother is going to die. He patted the shadow on the shoulder, sighed and said, "People die like lights go out, and I will go to ask for a family reunion on Huangquan Road in the future." ”

Shadow's shoulders stiffened, and he said, "He must die at my hands." ”

Fan Xian's mood was tight, and he didn't know whether he was doing the right thing or wrong when he returned to Dongyi City with his shadow.

............ Although the shadow has not returned to Dongyi City for a long time, after all, before he was a teenager, he grew up in this big city, and he still remembers the direction of the streets clearly, and the explanation of the catkins is not wrong.

Fan Xian jumped off the wheel, looked at the lively market around him and the merchants in a hurry, and sighed: "Sure enough, it's a shopping mall, but I just went to Feixi, but I don't have any feeling of being in a city, I'm really a little disappointed." ”

He was indeed very disappointed, it was rumored in the world that Dongyi City was the largest city in the world, but he didn't expect that when Fan Xian really saw this city, he found that this so-called first city had no city walls, just countless buildings in the market!

"Dongyi City was built very late. The shadow said coldly, "The walls have not been repaired since the beginning. ”

Fan Xian looked at the gray buildings that filled his field of vision, and the layers of streets, and secretly frightened, the area of this Dongyi City was really large and a little terrifying, and after listening to the shadow explanation, he frowned and said: "But such a big city, without a city wall, isn't it easier to be invaded by foreign enemies?"

"In the original Dongyi City, there were some profitable merchants and stupid people, and there was no ability to resist foreign enemies, even if it cost countless people to build a dangerous city wall, it was impossible to resist the army of Northern Qi or Nanqing? ”

After a pause for a moment, the shadow said: "Some people say that the eldest brother is the wall of Dongyi City, if he is alive, Dongyi City has no city wall, and no foreign enemy dares to attack, if he dies, even if Dongyi City has a wall of thousands of people, it will still be the end of the country being ruined." ”

Fan Xian was silent for a long time, and understood the hidden meaning of Dongyi City's non-construction of high walls, his eyes fell on a certain place on the outskirts of Dongyi City, secretly thinking about what choice the Dongyi City wall hidden in the sword house would make before it collapsed?
