Chapter 147 – Brainstorming in the Garden of China

In front of a valley about twenty miles away from Suzhou City, a manor with no characteristics was quietly waiting for the twilight to fall.

With the arrival of the twilight, the darkness of the night gradually arrived, four hundred black horseback riding horses mouth, hooves around the cloth, silently as the God of Murder in the night to complete the encirclement of the manor.

Then there was a bloody fight, the black horsemen outside the garden shot rockets inside, and the people inside were lighting fires themselves.

Smoke rose, lives were lost, and the garden was destroyed.

The black cavalry is the five departments of the Supervisory Yuan, the force is the most powerful department, but there is no person sitting in the court, just always outside of Kyoto waiting for Chen Pingping’s mobilization. Until later, the Supervisory Yuan has a young Lord of the Division, the Black Riders will be divided into two, half a thousand to follow Fan Xian action. From this incident, we could also see how much Chen Pingping valued Fan Xian.

Last year, when Fan Xian traveled to Northern Qi, the Black Riders escorted him all the way to the national border and successfully wiped out the army sent by Uesugi Tiger to rescue Sean outside of the Mude River, so the strength of the force was evident.

The Black Riders that had been on standby in the northern part of the river finally had a use for them today, however, the Black Rider Vice Commander who was riding his horse and standing at the bottom of the mountain didn’t have much excitement on his face.

For them, this was just a simple job.

Nowadays, the commander of these four hundred black riders was the vice commander of the five divisions, surnamed Jing without a name.

General Jing rode steadily on his horse, looking at the blazing fire in the garden, his right hand slowly pressed on his face, removing the black mask that covered his face, revealing the slightly white cheeks underneath the mask and the pair of cold and emotionless eyes.

The mission entrusted by Lord Tiji was accomplished, just did not expect, this inconspicuous garden actually has such a strong force, so that the black rider also suffered some damage, the most horrifying thing is that all the people in the garden, seem to know that they only have one way to die, fight back to the death, there is not even a single surrendered person.

Jing will not know what people in the garden, just to carry out the orders of the Lord of the Tisch, and the people in the garden themselves also set fire to certain evidence that can not see the light, probably also long been burned.

He led the reins, the horse’s hooves clattered, slowly approaching the burning garden, his cavalrymen were treating the wounded and were responsible for cleaning up the scene. He watched it all with eyes sternly murderous, and suddenly his eyes fluttered slightly.

The five horsemen broke through the fire and came out, shining with black flames, just like the ghostly dead horsemen in the underworld.

On top of the five riders, in addition to the knights in full body black armor, there were a few more characters that were tied up like dumplings.

Jing will be the right hand back pressed on the face, before the arrival of the five riders to put on the black mask again, thin lips slightly open, cold voice rang out, some surprise, some surprised: “live?”

The five horsemen sailed closer to his side and reported, “These five people hid under the well and surrendered.”

Even though General Jing was cold, his heart was filled with more unexpected joy, the corners of his lips tugged a bit, displaying a cold smile, “Lord Tiji should be happy.”

With the momentum of this garden’s desperate resistance, the jade and stone arrangement, being able to capture a living soul was indeed a very difficult thing to do. General Jing looked at the five captives tied up on the horse and felt something strange in his heart.

“Return to Suzhou.”

The black mask with golden flames reflecting above it looked colorful and had a chilling smell.

The Jing general under the mask coldly issued an order, and the horse neighing outside the garden rose up, tearing through the quiet of the valley’s dark night, and with a slight cacophony of hooves, the horses rearranged themselves and neatly transformed into three black torrents, circling around the burning manor house, and diagonally skimming over the road at the foot of the mountain, and disappeared into the darkness of the night.

And soon after the black riders ghosted out of the mountain and into the plain, they met Deng Ziyue and his party, who had led the way and received the latest orders from Lord Tiji.

General Jing was silent for a moment and arranged for a cavalry squad to escort the captives to Kyoto, while the remaining hundreds of Black Night Slayers did not enter the city, but quietly found their way across the river and returned to their camp in the north of the river.

When Deng Ziyue reported back to Huayuan, Fan Xian just nodded his head to indicate that he knew, and after writing a secret message to His Majesty in his study and handing it over to his subordinates in the courtyard to send it back to Kyoto, he came to the main hall of Huayuan alone.

In the main hall, the lamps were hanging high, shining brightly, especially the box of snowflake silver, which was lying quietly in the box, reflecting a tantalizing light.

Fan Xian glanced at the box of silver, shook his head, sighed, and sat down on the chair beside the box, thinking in his heart that silver was indeed very useful.

One hundred and thirty-eight thousand eight hundred and eighty taels of silver were neatly stacked in the box just like this.

Fan Xian couldn’t help but look at it again and sighed again, finally giving up on the idea in his heart.

Today against Ye Liuyun, that feeling of hopelessness, of helplessness and powerlessness, made Fan Xian’s heart actually a little annoyed, of course, he did not give birth to excess self-pity and self-pity, nor did he have any sense of humiliation, not being able to beat a great master is a heavenly thing, just ……

He was clear that no matter how his life would develop later, he would one day have to face a great master, even if it was not Ye Liuyun, it was the Four Gu Swords or the one in the palace, he would always have to shake on a front.

But today, Ye Liuyun’s sword chopped half of the building, and that superb aura that filled the sky and the earth, all made Fan Xian realize that he now has no way to take on a Grand Master.

It was just like the Ming family had no way of dealing with themselves, it was the same thing.

The Grand Master was too strong, so strong that he could already ignore the normal siege of force, no wonder the Emperor’s old man had been lukewarm towards the Ye family, no wonder Bitter Lotus could have fostered that pair of orphans and widows back in the day, and no wonder a single idiot from the Four Gu Swords was able to guard the Dongyi City.

Fan Xian thought and sighed in his heart, and began to miss his dear Uncle Wu Zhu.

But immediately, he overturned his own thoughts, life one life, can not always rely on uncle to solve their own problems, especially the five bamboo face a few great masters can not take advantage of, Fan Xian is from the deepest part of the heart can not afford to let the five bamboo uncle to go to the risk of trouble.

Then, how could he kill a Grand Master?

In the company of a box of silver and a hall full of lights, Fan Xian fell into deep thought. In an instant, his mind had already simulated many scenario patterns and themes, what kind of place of certain death and opportunity for certain death had to be created in order to kill a Great Master on the spot.

His palm subconsciously slapped the box, and suddenly he stood up with a long body and shouted loudly, “Meeting! Meeting!”

While shouting, he walked towards the back hall.

When Lord Tiji shouted for a meeting, naturally no one dared to slow down, the upper echelon officials of the Supervisory Yuan who had set up in Hua Yuan, all the members of the Qi Nian team, and the seven Tiger Guards all gathered in the council chamber.

Fan Xian’s butt had just landed on his chair when he couldn’t help but laugh and curse, “Help Lord Lin back to play.”

He glared at the Third Prince who had come to see the fun and that Dabao who had run in at some point as well, and had the maids help these two ancestors back.

Taking another look at the number of people who had arrived, he shook his head and said, “Invite Shi Yanli and Miss Sang Wen over as well.”

The subordinate led the order and went, and within a moment, the Shi Sang duo also arrived in the hall. Shi Hanyan Li often handled some affairs for the door division, so for this kind of meeting situation is not how unfamiliar, on the contrary, it is Sang Wen’s gentle face hangs with hesitation and surprise, thinking that the Lord of the Imperial Court discusses naturally is the major events of the imperial government, what does one sing a song to do?

“The theme of today’s meeting is very simple, everyone think openly, what strange and weird ideas, all boldly say.”

Fan Xian rubbed his temples and said with a headache, “I really can’t think of anything by myself.”

Tiger Guard Gouda glanced at him, seeing that Lord Tiji was worried, but not knowing what he was worried about, he said in a deep voice, “Please do as you wish, my lord.”

“Brainstorm, brainstorm.” Fan Xian said with a bitter smile, “Everyone come and help with ideas.”

The crowd looked at him curiously, wondering what ideas they wanted from themselves and others.

Fan Xian said seriously, “What do you guys say …… how to kill a great master?”

The council chamber immediately went cold. The subordinates looked at each other in dismay, Miss Sang Wen was even more shocked as she pursed her somewhat wide lips into a small cherry mouth, and Shi Hanyanli had a strong urge to turn around and leave.

What kind of thing is this?

How can one kill a Great Master?

If someone can really think of a method, then the first thing that South Qing and North Qi will do is to send someone to kill the Four Gu Swords according to the law, and then the two countries will first divide the wealth of Dongyi City with the aristocratic women of those vassal states!

All the people in the hall on Deng Ziyue’s official position is higher, and close to Fan Xian, looking at the face of his lord, looking at the odd faces of his colleagues, Xiao Yi said, “My lord …… is not shocked by the sword?”

Fan Xian was stunned, then cursed angrily, “I didn’t hurt my brain!”

He didn’t care how shocked his subordinates were, and forced everyone to come up with an idea anyway. For a while, the people in the chamber were forced to pick some ridiculous ideas, just one side of the idea, one side of the hearts of the people are a little uneasy, the great master by the people to worship, is the role of the gods in general, at this time, but according to the orders of the Lord of the Tishek, think of how to harm him ……

But the Supervisory Yuan is ultimately flowing with black water children of the Yin bad Yamen, slightly said a few sentences, the people will let go of the guts, but also feel a stream of inexplicable pleasure, meeting to discuss how to kill the Grand Master …… even if you can not kill, but just think about it is also exciting enough.

Someone opened the nominal said, for the great master, fight is certainly not beat, so to deal with him, the first thing is to weaken his power, enhance their own power, suggested the use of poison.

Immediately someone countered that the great master’s power has reached the state of realization, poison into the body, immediately be turned into a snowy mess, useless.

Then someone suggested that one should choose the kind of drug that stimulates the body’s own qualities, which is not an external poison, yet can mobilize the body’s emotions or energy for a short period of time, and will naturally weaken afterwards.

Fan Xian coldly interjected, “That’s an aphrodisiac.”

Another person said, “If you want to take a person’s life, you must first disorganize their mind, and if you want to bring about their demise, you must first make them crazy, so you should construct certain special scenarios that will radicalize the Grand Master’s emotions, and cause his mind to fall into a stupor.

Fan Xian nodded, very appreciative, but in his heart, he was cursing that Ouyang Feng was even more powerful when he went mad.

Deng Ziyue thought for half a day, suddenly slapped the table and said: ”In fact, it is not difficult, as long as you think of a way to set up a bureau, so that the other side can not escape lightly, it will use six crossbow camps surrounded by, in accordance with the columns and put, without stopping, consume its true power, spell will be ten thousand crossbow arrows, but also to let the other side body weakened gas weakness …… and then use five black cavalry Charge it, the great master is not God after all, to one against a thousand can, to one against a thousand riders …… will always die.”

Fan Xian looked at him and asked, “This plan of yours, how many people are estimated to die?”

Deng Ziyue did some math and reported, “The six crossbow battalions are estimated to be completely wiped out, and the Black Riders should still have 10% of them alive.”

Fan Xian shook his head and said, “I want to kill people, not send my own people to their deaths.”

Deng Ziyue said excitedly, “If it really works, it doesn’t matter how many people die.”

Fan Xian raised an eyebrow. Laughing coldly, he said, “Then how can you make the other side not move or flee? Just stay there and let you shoot and rush? It’s not like he’s a scarecrow ……”

Deng Ziyue fell silent.

The brainstorm still continued, and the ideas that the crowd came up with became more and more absurd and nonsensical. Some suggested being a kidnapper, some suggested playing avalanche, and some suggested tampering with the pit.

Then the counter-arguments came, first of all, Si Gu Jian didn’t have any relatives, his relatives were all killed by himself, at the same time, that place in Dong Yi City couldn’t see snow all year round, as for the last suggestion, the crowd scoffed and didn’t bother to pay attention to it at all.

Fan Xian coldly watched this scene, his heart was slightly at ease, this seemingly absurd deliberation today, in fact, he was trying to dilute the horror in the hearts of his subordinates regarding the matter of holding the moon building today, Ye Liuyun’s sudden appearance had undoubtedly created a strong shadow in these people’s hearts, and even Gao Da’s face was hard to see the original color of perseverance.

To work with such a group of subordinates, one could not allow them to indulge in such inappropriate emotions.

That’s why Fan Xian asked the people to discuss how to kill the Grand Master, and after a few rounds of discussion, it could be clearly seen that the fear that the people had suppressed deep down had faded a lot, and the exuberance was also a way of clearing up the shock that they had received during the day, which had a very good effect.

Of course, the people deliberating in the hall did mention some extremely effective methods, who knows if Fan Xian will use them in the future, as for the subordinates, they all took the Four Guards Sword as an imaginary enemy as a matter of course, but it was a bit out of Fan Xian’s expectation.

The subjects of the Qing Kingdom, naturally, did not think of dealing with Ye Liuyun at all.

Because of the ongoing honeymoon period with Northern Qi, because of Fan Xian’s relationship with Haitang, and because the Fan family’s young lady had now become Master Bitter Lotus’s closed disciple, the subordinates naturally would not be so blind as to discuss how to kill Bitter Lotus in front of the Lord of the Tisch.

Again, four Gu Jian that poor.

Deliberations until the end of the candle, after the crowd dispersed, still in the corridor garden whispering, for the Lord Tisch this bold initiative and excited, can not help themselves.

Fan Xian shook his head, summoned Sang Wen, and said, “Half of the Moon Building has been destroyed, and it will take at least half a month to repair it, so what are the arrangements for the girls in the building?”

When he initially went to evacuate the neighborhood, the guests in the Moon Embracing Mansion were gone, and the girls were evacuated to safety. It was only at this point that Fan Xian had the leisure to worry about his greenhouse industry.

Sang Wen respectfully replied, “The girls have all been temporarily placed in other buildings, and the bosses are extremely good at talking and have taken them over, it’s just that it’s not a good idea to stay in other buildings for a long time.”

Fan Xian nodded, the entire Suzhou city, at this time no one dares not to look at his face, those green house bosses help to shelter their own girls, I’m afraid that the joy is still too late.

“Then it’s done, let Shi Elanli lead the way on the remodeling, and you take a break these days.” Fan Xian suddenly thought of something and raised his eyebrows up, a hint of ruthlessness appearing on his handsome face, “All the detailed and small bills are all collected, when I return to the capital in the coming year, I’m going to look for someone to collect the bills.”

Sang Wen responded.

Fan Xian asked, “You shouldn’t live outside, Hua Yuan is a big place, so you can stay with Si Si these days, and also help look after my great uncle.”

Sang Wen laughed nervously and covered his mouth without saying anything.

“What’s wrong?”

“Miss Haitang said the same thing.” Sang Wen laughed softly, “There are also those two girls who have been received in the garden.”

Fan Xian was stunned, only then did he realize that she was talking about the two top girls of the Moon Embracing House, Liang Dot Dot Dot and Ma Suoso, and in his heart he couldn’t help but be a little surprised at the delicacy of Haitang’s mind, Liang Dot Dot Dot hadn’t yet formally opened her license, and it was indeed a little inappropriate to live in other greenhouses, and as for Ma Suoso, she was the second wife of the Grand Imperial Prince.

That is the second wife of the great prince, can be good to greet.
