Chapter 118: Making Trouble in Jinyiwei! (Two in One)
"Have you decided to move to a new location?"
"Our men have been squatting the whole time, so they will never make a mistake."
After receiving the report from his subordinates, Fan Xian's expression changed.
It seemed that the commander of the Jinyiwei had already noticed something. Shen Zhong was able to take charge of the Jinyiwei in Northern Qi, so he must have some skills.
"That's great. Tell Lao Wang to come see me."
Recently, Fan Xian has been in seclusion.
It is impossible for his subordinates to guard him all the time.
Take Wang Qinian for example, he has already started gathering information in the capital of Northern Qi to earn overtime pay for himself.
After receiving Fan Xian's summons, his two trusted men quickly rushed back to his side.
"Sir, have you already thought about how to act?"
Wang Qinian's face was all smiles.
Teng Zijing was the same, eager to try.
They have been in the capital of Northern Qi for too long and it is time for them to do something.
"Go fight!"
Fan Xian didn't waste any words and directly expressed his thoughts.
"Then I'll get ready now."
Teng Zijing wanted to prepare hidden weapons. Don't look at Old Teng's strength, he is only at the peak of the seventh rank, not a master.
But he was still quite skilled in group fights, especially when he hid a dagger in his cloak and threw flying knives, which even Fan Xian was amazed at.
Called Doraemon by Fan Xian.
It works every time during a group fight.
"Forget about it, Old Teng. Let Old Wang go with me."
Fan Xian knew very well that their opponents this time were all elite members of the Imperial Guard.
Lao Teng’s strength is pretty good, but he definitely can’t hold on facing such a scene.
"Ah? Is it that dangerous?"
Wang Qinian was so smart that he understood immediately after hearing what Fan Xian said.
They might have to take some risks on this trip.
"The opponent is the Jinyiwei. Do you think it's dangerous?"
There may not be top masters in the Jinyiwei, but there are quite a few masters of the seventh or eighth rank.
Even a powerful ninth rank official wouldn't dare to ignore the Imperial Guards.
When Shen Zhong first suspected He Daoren's identity, he was just worried that he would run away and no one would be able to stop him. But Shen Zhong was not worried that He Daoren alone could fight against the entire Jinyiwei.
"Oh, Master Xiao Fan, I was just about to tell you that I'm old and my waist hasn't been feeling well lately."
Wang Qinian was about to refuse.
"If you don't want to go, forget it. I'll go alone. It's just right. I can save a hundred taels of hard work fee."
When Wang Qinian heard the words "one hundred taels", his eyes immediately lit up.
"What are you talking about, sir? Am I a greedy person? I will clear the way for you right away! But the one hundred taels..."
"I'll give it to you when I get back. It's useless to give it to you now!"
"Good."
Wang Qinian took the lead and walked out.
Fan Xian shook his head and followed him.
Teng Zijing looked at the two people leaving, and a trace of loneliness flashed in his eyes.
His identity is Fan Xian's bodyguard.
But now, he is becoming more and more like an ordinary thug, not even an assistant.
Fan Xian's current number one assistant is definitely Wang Qinian. Although Wang is always laughing and joking and values money, his abilities, whether it is his ability to handle cases or his own martial arts, are outstanding.
They are all very extraordinary.
"I want to become stronger!"
Teng Zijing swore secretly.
On the other side, the Jinyiwei were acting in secret.
Shen Zhong led the team personally and the Jinyiwei cleared the area.
They transported a fully wrapped carriage to a location that had been prepared long ago.
Shen Zhong was riding a horse, but his eyes were looking around.
It was obvious that Shen Zhong was waiting for someone.
No one can match Wang Qinian's lightness skill unless the grandmaster does it himself.
Fan Xian's strength is now also improving by leaps and bounds.
It can be said that the two of them arrived at the top of a tall building quietly.
They leaned over and watched the convoy.
"My lord, this is not right!"
Wang Qinian was very alert. He made a judgment just by looking down.
"This seems like a trap, waiting for us to jump in?"
Shen Zhong was the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. When he discovered Yan Bingyun's location, he was already exposed.
What would Shen Zhong do?
When there is no way to determine who the traitor is, the first thing to do is to identify him.
"This is fishing, just waiting for us to take the bait."
Fan Xian nodded slightly.
He had already seen through Shen Zhong's calculations.
Shen Zhong's plan was an open one, so he wasn't worried at all about being discovered.
On the one hand, Shen Zhong was preparing to fish the person out.
See who has planted a spy around him?
On the other hand, he also wanted to catch the spy in the dark.
When the other party did not take any action, Shen Zhong had obviously investigated everything from top to bottom, but in the end found nothing.
This is the method used to lure the snake out of its hole.
"It seems that our Daqing secret agents are really good at what they do."
Fan Xian had seen the capabilities of the Jinyiwei. Shen Zhong, the commander of the Jinyiwei, was certainly not an incompetent person.
However, even so, the spy was not exposed.
The ability of the secret agent can be seen from this.
"This is the task of my Inspection Office, and the person in charge is also a veteran of my Inspection Office."
Wang Qinian is sincerely proud.
Although there are not many top-notch fighters within their Inspection Institute, there is not even a grandmaster.
But when it comes to other aspects, if their Inspection Office dares to say that it is second, no one dares to say that they are first in front of their Supervisory Office.
The ability of the Inspection Office is the strongest.
Fan Xian nodded in approval.
The more he came into contact with the Inspection Institute, the more Fan Xian understood how terrifying this organization was.
It is no wonder that Zhu Ge from the First Division took decisive action when he realized that Chen Pingping wanted to hand over the Inspection Institute to someone else.
The reason is simple. The Inspection Bureau is too powerful and they really have the potential to change the dynasty.
If that happens, the entire Daqing will be doomed.
"What should we do next? Should we take a long-term view?"
Wang Qinian suggested.
The other party was clearly setting a trap, and Master Fan refused to ask his brother for help.
In Wang Qinian's opinion, their actions had no chance of success.
"My eldest brother came to me a while ago and taught me a lesson."
"what?"
Wang Qinian asked anxiously.
"As long as you are strong enough, all conspiracies and tricks are a joke."
Hearing Fan Xian's words, Wang Qinian nodded subconsciously.
There is really nothing wrong with this.
Take Fan Xian’s elder brother, their Daqing God of War Fan Bin, for example.
They just had a fight with Ku He at the border.
Everyone in the world knew that a fifth Grandmaster had appeared. Moreover, this Grandmaster had gained the upper hand in his fight with Ku He.
After that, Fan Bin became a guest of honor in the entire Northern Qi Dynasty.
He was directly invited to the Northern Qi Imperial Palace for worship.
It is said that the little emperor accompanies her every day, and that feeling is more comfortable than that of the emperor emeritus.
Let’s talk about Daqing.
The god of war from Daqing went to the palace of Northern Qi and became the honored guest of the young emperor of Northern Qi. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't make sense.
Although Fan Bin did not openly commit treason, who could not help but be suspicious of his actions?
In fact, someone had already submitted a memorial to Emperor Qing, cursing Fan Bin and the Fan family.
and then?
According to the information Wang Qinian received, the official who submitted the memorial was dismissed from office on the same day.
On his way back to his hometown, he encountered bandits. All the money he had saved over the years went to those bandits.
Faced with such a situation, others naturally did not dare to write again.
At this time, there is already a consensus within Daqing that it doesn't matter if you slander Grand Master Ye Liuyun.
Emperor Qing would at most reprimand him, but he wouldn't really get angry.
Although no one said it, they all firmly believed that there was a conflict between Emperor Qing and Ye Liuyun.
But if you slander Fan Bin, the Emperor Qing’s wrath will definitely fall on you.
Isn't this just doing whatever you want?
"But the problem is, we are not General Fan Bin..."
Wang Qinian muttered softly.
The reason why Fan Bin can do this is because he is strong enough and he is a grandmaster.
But Fan Xian is only a ninth rank after all...
"Old Wang, you underestimate the ninth rank."
Fan Xian laughed.
The strength of the Grand Master is indeed far ahead.
Fan Xian understands this point more clearly than anyone else.
Because by his side, there are two great masters with terrifying power.
A ninth-rank master is indeed not worth mentioning in front of a grandmaster.
Whether it is Uncle Wu Zhu or his elder brother Fan Bin, it is easy for them to control Fan Xian now.
But this does not mean that the ninth-grade master is not worth mentioning.
"Just watch here, I will go meet them myself."
Fan Xian spoke.
"How can this be done?"
Just as Wang Qinian was about to refuse, Fan Xian took action.
He jumped down from a tall building.
"There are assassins!"
"catch him!!"
The Jinyiwei's investigation was very strict.
Not only the front, back, left and right, but also the high altitude and underground, they have spies watching in real time.
Seeing Fan Xian falling from the sky, the spies who were staring at the sky immediately issued a warning.
Shen Zhong, who was riding on a horse, looked up and saw Fan Xian's figure, with a slight smile on his face.
"It's really you."
Realizing that they were being monitored from within, Shen Zhong immediately led his men to investigate.
But the person they found committed suicide at that time.
As a result, they didn't find any intelligence, nor did they find any marks on the spy.
It was confirmed that the other party had known the information two or three months ago. Shen Zhong felt a burning pain on both sides of his face.
This slap in the face was so severe that even the usually confident commander of the Imperial Guards couldn't remain calm.
Despite a thorough investigation, nothing was found.
But this does not mean that Shen Zhong has no suspects in his mind.
There were two people he suspected.
The first one to be affected is Fan Xian, followed by Sean who was secretly competing with him for power.
After confirming Fan Xian's identity, Shen Zhong felt relieved.
Fan Xian was so anxious to take action, which meant that the place where they planned to hide people next had not been discovered yet.
This also means that Shen Zhong can save a lot of time in the process of finding the traitor.
Then he paid special attention to these people to see who had time to pass on the message.
The identity of the secret agent was about to be revealed.
"Killing two birds with one stone, half of the success. Next, it depends on whether we can get the other half."
Since entering Kyoto, Fan Bin has been treated as a guest of honor by Northern Qi.
The reaction of this newly promoted grandmaster was very strange. Fan Bin did not directly ask for Yan Bingyun.
If he asked, Shen Zhong would not be able to refuse.
That's why Shen Zhong prepared this big show.
This may not be of much help to Northern Qi, but it is of great help to Shen Zhong.
Shen Zhong clearly felt that the Queen Mother did not trust him as much as before.
Coupled with the changing situation in Northern Qi.
If Shen Zhong doesn't handle the situation well, even if he is wholeheartedly considering Da Qi, his future will not be good.
So Shen Zhong must figure out Fan Bin’s attitude towards Northern Qi, Fan Xian, and even Daqing?
Only then could Shen Zhong plan his next move.
"Stop him and don't hurt his life."
Shen Zhong gave the order.
The elite Jinyiwei under his command have strict military discipline.
Although they still held swords in their hands, they silently pointed the backs of their swords at Fan Xian.
The sword has no eyes...
But if they use the back of a knife, they use the barrel of a gun.
It shouldn't be enough to kill Fan Xian.
"Tsk, I really was underestimated!"
"Ride the wind and break the waves, white waves and flying flowers!!!"
When Fan Xian saw what the Jinyiwei did, he felt a surge of anger in his heart.
He originally thought that once he joined the Jinyiwei, he would be able to kill people everywhere.
Although Fan Xian cannot directly challenge the grandmaster like his elder brother and shock the world with one battle.
However, through this battle with the Jinyiwei, his name Fan Xian will surely become known to everyone.
But it seems that things are different from what he imagined.
The Jinyiwei had obviously seen through his identity, but they didn't even dare to kill him.
It was obvious that the other party was wary of Fan Xian's background.
Not to mention that Fan Xian is Daqing's special envoy, Daqing has hundreds of thousands of elite troops stationed on the border.
If something happens to the Daqing envoy, Daqing's hundreds of thousands of elite troops are no joke.
With such an excuse, they would inevitably launch a full-scale attack on Northern Qi.
Even Master Ku He couldn't stop it.
This is not even the main reason, the main reason is still Fan Bin.
The newly promoted grandmaster lives in the Northern Qi Imperial Palace, less than ten miles away from here.
If Fan Xian really had an accident.
Who knows if that great master will go crazy and drag the entire Northern Qi capital to be buried with him?
Although the Jinyiwei showed mercy, Fan Xian was not grateful at all.
And he didn't need to appreciate it.
Those Jinyiwei who rushed up were repelled by the white waves before they could even get close to him.
Fan Xian also showed mercy and did not kill these Jinyiwei. All the Jinyiwei he hit instantly lost their fighting ability.
Shen Zhong looked at his men who were knocked down in groups, watching them lying on the ground wailing, unable to fight anymore.
A hint of disbelief flashed across Shen Zhong's eyes.
He had seen Fan Xian take action before, and the battle between Fan Xian and Lang Tao was already amazing.
According to Shen Zhong's judgment, Fan Xian was definitely a ninth-rank master. He also prepared a trump card for this.
But now, seeing Fan Xian casually waving the dagger in his hand, the Jinyiwei fell down one after another.
In Fan Xian's eyes, those elite members of the Embroidered Uniform Guard were no more than dirt chickens and clay dogs.
The gap in strength between the two sides is simply appalling.
"How could it be? How could he become so much stronger in just a few months?"
Compared to the battle with Lang Tao, Fan Xian at this time has obviously been reborn.
It's like a different person.
