Chapter 424: You, the traveler, don’t understand me, the traveler of the heavens
A few days later.
The Nanqing delegation headed by Fan Xian left Kyoto City through the North Gate, escorting Sean, a former ninth-level master of the Northern Wei Dynasty who had been imprisoned by the Overwatch Council for twenty years.
The officials of Honglu Temple were first holding a staff, followed by the carriages in which Fan Xian and Wang Qinian were riding, followed by a heavy prison carriage tied layer by layer with thumb-thick iron chains and reinforced with huge rivets. Followed by a convoy consisting of four tiger guards and more than a dozen cavalry.
The leader of the Tiger Guards, Gao Jinyi and Long Sword, led the other three Tiger Guards to clear the way. This kid has not stopped since he came out of the city, looking left and right. Look, from time to time I put up a pergola and look into the distance.
Fan Xian stared at the horse's butt and swaying ponytail for a while, then touched the shoulder of Wang Qinian, who came as a groom with a long whip: "What do you want to see in this Gundam? We have just left Kyoto City, and we have only walked ten years. A few miles away, do you have to be so nervous?”
“Did you forget that that person hasn’t shown up yet?”
That person...
I heard. These three words made Fan Xian's expression a little ugly.
What Beiqi wants is Si Lili and Sean. Now Sean is tied up by Wu Huada and locked in a prison car behind him, but Si Lili... is not there.
The theory given by Emperor Qing was that Chu Pingsheng would send the people to Northern Qi together with the mission's motorcade. It is indeed puzzling to see no one after walking out for a long time.
Where did Chu Pingsheng go?
Speaking of "that one", Wang Qinian got all gossipy and said with a hint of evil smile and a bit of vulgarity: "Sir, you said Chu Pingsheng agreed to return Si Lili to Beiqi. Why? "
"Why?"
Fan Xian glanced at him with contempt on his face - not contempt for Wang Qinian, but contempt for Chu Pingsheng.
"Either Baifeng has interests in collusion with Northern Qi, or His Majesty made an offer that Chu could not refuse."
Wang Qinian shook his head and sighed: "That day outside the Supervisory Yuan, they killed the black knight again, and then He chopped off Yuan Hongdao's hand, and then forced His Majesty to execute him in Lingchi. I thought he was a lover, but I didn't expect...I didn't expect..."
Fan Xian was actually quite surprised, at first He felt that Chu Pingsheng saved Si Lili to get information from her that he knew that Lin Gong was the murderer who planned and carried out the Niulan Street assassination, so as to alienate the relationship between him and Lin Waner, so as to achieve the goal of smoothly marrying Lin Waner.
However, it turned out that Lin Gong was obviously killed by Wu Zhu, but Chu Pingsheng placed the blame on Baifeng. And because he forced Emperor Qing to Ling Chi Yuan Hongdao and failed to hide the fact that he slept with Si Lili, many people thought that Chu Pingsheng simply liked this Northern Qi spy. However, the next scene was shocking. Si Lili slept with him. After being with Li Li for a while, Mr. Chu obviously had enough fun and began to hang out in romantic places, listening to music during the day, staying on flower boats at night, and leaving the manager alone in the concierge courtyard to guard an empty room.
Later, when the Northern Qi wanted someone, they agreed readily without even a trace of hesitation, which made people completely confused about the logic of the Xihu people's actions.
"I don't know whether you are in love or not. Sex is certain."
Wang Qinian smiled and said, "Your Majesty is right."
Who doesn't know what happened at the night banquet in the Hall of Prayer now? Ah, Fan Xian lost his talent and reputation in one fell swoop, and Fan Ruoruo and Ye Ling'er also wanted to marry Chu Pingsheng as concubines because they lost the bet. These two people were already completely at odds with each other, and if they went one step further, they would be fighting to the death. .
Xu...
At this moment, Gao Da, who was leading the way, pulled the reins, reined in the horse, raised his right hand, and made a stop gesture to the convoy behind.
Wang Qinian straightened up and looked up: "Sir, it seems to be...that person's carriage."
In fact, he didn't need to say it, Fan Xian also knew it was Chu Pingsheng.
I saw two carriages parked on the open land at the intersection of the official road and the poplar forest. One carriage carried people and had curtains and door curtains. The other carriage carried goods. A wooden cabinet as high as one person was fixed in the carriage. , with a big black iron lock on the outside. I don’t know what it contains. The vicious white ape was sitting on the wooden cabinet of the truck, holding a bright red pig’s head in both hands and chewing it, and the food was bulging. His lips and furry hands were covered with oil, which was why Wang Qinian recognized the carriage outside the woods as Chu Pingsheng's car at a glance.
"My lord?!"
Gundam looked behind him and asked Fan Xian to make up his mind.
"Just leave."
"Sir," Wang Qinian advised: "Isn't this good? After all, Chu Pingsheng is also the crown prince and grand master. He is the first-ranked person in the dynasty and has the highest official position in the mission. If he goes without saying hello, it might not look good if he is investigated later."
Fan Xian rolled his eyes at him: "If you want to say hello, I won't go anyway."
After saying that, he turned around. To one side.
What if Emperor Qing had not promised that when he successfully completed his mission and returned, he would have considered revoking the betrothal to Lin Wan'er, returning her to him, and going to Northern Qi with someone like Chu Pingsheng? Don’t even think about it!
"Sir, think about it, Chu Pingsheng is a ninth-level person, and Bai Yuan is a tyrannical figure at the ninth level. With them here, why are they still afraid that something will happen to Sean? Even if his adopted son Uesugi Tiger comes to kill us, we don't have to be afraid. Just bow your head and say hello, it will save you a lot of worry in the days to come."
"..."
Fan Xian rolled up his sleeves without even looking at Wang Qinian.
Does he need Chu Pingsheng and Bai Yuan to hold the line? Don't be kidding, Wu Zhu was following him all the time. He wasn't even scared when Ku He came, let alone Sean's adopted son.
"You said you...what should I say about you?"
Wang Qinian frowned, nodded to Fan Xian, and finally jumped out of the carriage with a long sigh. With the thought of helping Fan Xian, he quickly ran to the open space beside the woods, bowed to the carriage with a smile on his face. He smiled and said: "Master Chu, Master Fan saw that your carriage was parked here, and sent your subordinates to ask if there is anyone who needs help."
The green cloth door curtain shook slightly, and was moved by the hand stretched out from inside. Opening the line: "Well, you guys go your way, I will follow you." "Okay."
Seeing that he was so easy to talk to, Wang Qinian nodded and bowed and retreated.
“Wait.”
Snap.
A golden light flew out and landed at his feet.
Wang Qinian took a closer look and found that it was actually a gold ingot, weighing twelve tons.
"I'm very curious. Fan Jian has gone from the Ministry of Household Affairs to the Ministry of Personnel, and Fan Xian's bookstore has gone bankrupt. Can he still afford you? Wang Qinian, do you want to consider following me?"
"This..." Wang Qinian rolled his eyes and said with a charming smile: "Can your lord allow Wang to think about it?"
"No problem."
The hand that opened the green cloth curtain retracted, and the gap was closed.
Wang Qinian raised his hips and bent down, grabbed the gold ingots on the ground and put them into his sleeves, and walked towards the rear of the delegation's convoy with a smile on his face.
When passing by Gundam, the latter glared at him with contempt on his face.
Wang Qinian didn’t care. After all, the monthly money Fan Xian gave him was only fifty taels. As for Chu Pingsheng, he would get ten taels of gold ingots at a time. He could already imagine what his wife would do when she saw the golden ingot. What a joy.
"Sir, Master Chu said to let us go first, and he will follow behind."
Fan Xian waved his hand, reached up and clamped the war horse under his crotch with his legs, and walked north.
"Wang Qinian, what else did he tell you?"
"It's nothing."
"Then what were you doing when you bent over and pouted your butt just now?"< br>
Wang Qinian chuckled: "Sir, have you forgotten what my special skill is?"
Fan Xian curled his lips: "Run fast, especially when danger comes."
"How could that be? Well, my lord, I was able to catch up with Si Lili with my own strength." Wang Qinian leaned closer to Fan Xian and whispered, "Sir, I looked carefully at the tracks of the second carriage. Judging from the traces, the load of the vehicle is at least six to seven hundred kilograms, and the white ape is at most one hundred and thirty-four. What is the remaining five hundred kilograms? Don’t you find it strange? "
He is like this? As soon as he said that, Fan Xian frowned and looked back at the two carriages that had started to move. You must know that the gifts Qingguo brought to Qiguo were all southern specialties, handicrafts, etc., and they were all behind Sean's prison car. In the cabinet, Chu Pingsheng needs to prepare other items.
Then the question is, what is in the carriage?
"Wang Qinian..."
"Sir?"
"Do you think Ku He will take action against Bai Feng?"
"I think so."
>Wang Qinian thought for a while and felt that even if Ku He didn't go all out, he should still test the depth of Bai Feng. After all, any fool could see that Bai Feng and Emperor Qing had an ulterior connection, and Emperor Qing's biggest wish all along was Annexed Northern Qi.
"If two grand masters fight one grand master, what do you think the result will be?"
"Two grand masters fight...one grand master?"
Wang Qinian was told by Fan Xian I'm confused, I don't know where the other great master is and who he is?
Fan Xian smiled and did not respond to his doubts. He just sighed in his heart that once Bai Feng died, what else would Chu rely on in his life.
……
Fan Xian was wondering what Chu Pingsheng had brought, and kept looking back at the carriage at the back. Si Lili looked at Sean's prison carriage over and over again, with a worried look on his face.
“Are you worried about Zhan Doudou? Don’t understand why she asked for Sean?”
“…”
“As far as I know, Qingguo has done this twice During the Northern Expedition to Wei, during the first Northern Expedition, Li Yunqian was paralyzed and trapped. It was Chen Pingping who led the black cavalry in a thousand-mile attack to rescue him. This Northern Expedition ended in failure. The reason for all this, apart from Li Yunqian's own problems, was Sean, the intelligence leader, and the Northern Wei general Zhan Qingfeng were indispensable. Later, Qingguo learned their lesson and marginalized Zhan Qingfeng through alienation tactics. Then, while Sean's son was getting married, Chen Pingping personally led his people to capture him back to Qingguo. After that, Li Yunqian launched the second Northern Expedition and crippled the Northern Wei Dynasty. It was at this time that Zhan Qingfeng rose up strongly with the help of Ku He, took over the Northern Wei royal family and established the Northern Qi Dynasty. "
Chu. Sheng Sheng first narrated the background of the incident, and then slowly expressed her thoughts: "Sean is loyal to the Northern Wei royal family, not the Zhan family of the Northern Qi Dynasty. You are worried that when he returns, he will shake the political situation and subvert the Zhan family, right?" br>
Si Lili said: "I can't hide anything from you."
