Chapter 54: Hieh Lü-Lu-Lang Takes Over the Flower Leader

After the Niulan Street murder incident, Fan Xian has been thinking about certain issues, Fuji Zijing has gone to the countryside to convalesce, I do not know whether it will leave a disability, and the three guards who died, the family members have also received adequate compensation, and even the relevant departments and ministries of the imperial court have issued a commendation order. The guards were buried in the clan tomb of the Fan clan on the outskirts of the capital, and Fan Xian would naturally go to pay his respects if he could leave the capital.

The bloody facts had taught him that surviving in this world wasn’t just a fling, and naturally, it wasn’t just a treat, so he needed to have power that was entirely his own, such as Wang Qinian, such as Fan Si Zhe, and such as his own martial arts cultivation.

Now in Kyoto, he had moved his meditation practice time from noon to evening, and whenever he was half asleep, he always felt that the true qi in the snowy mountains behind his body’s waist was like a flood of warm water, very comfortably rinsing every part of his body, and vaguely, it seemed that the quantity and denseness of this true qi had somehow increased.

Regarding the fact that he had been able to kill that eighth ranked expert at that time despite the harassment of the two female assassins, Fan Xian had always felt a bit incredulous. He had looked up the methods of flow of true qi of the guards such as Fuji Zijing and others, and realized that there was no one in this world who practiced in the same way as himself. This realization didn’t faze him in the slightest, since he was able to kill an eighth ranked expert over the top with his slender dagger and sleeve crossbow, it proved that his true qi worked.

He was different from the martial arts practitioners in this world, his mind did not have the so-called unbreakable concept between ranks, the bloody mess of the big man’s downfall proved his thoughts, as long as you were ruthless and accurate enough, even if you were a top five grandmaster, so what?

Only the second book of the Hegemony Volume never progressed, and Fan Xian’s eyes fell on the box that was thrown quite casually in the corner of the room. After coming to the capital, it seemed that he had forgotten about this object left to him by his mother, so it seemed that he would have to look for the key sometime.

The important suspect of the assassin incident, Siriri, had not yet been escorted back to Kyoto, but a decree crossed the sky of Kyoto like a bolt of lightning. This decree issued from the deep palace was about Fan Xian. Against the backdrop of a few days ago, the content of this decree appeared to be particularly unusual.

“By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees ……” Listening to this eunuch in front of him, his mouth kept turning over, but he couldn’t hear what it was. Kneeling in the Fan mansion lobby Fan Xian is very afraid of this eunuch in front of him spit will spit on his face to, sad face looking at in front of more and more wet green brick.

The holy decree finally finished reading, in Liu’s point, Fan Xian according to the rules to do enough, called after the long live and then thanked the grace, will be the holy decree to accept, Liu’s and no smoke and fire to pass a silver ticket over, the eunuch only satisfied to go.

“Where do I put this?” Fan Xian held the imperial decree in his hand and asked Liu, “I can’t keep holding it, can I?”

Liu smiled and took it over, “Although the mansion often receives edicts. But it can’t be said that contraptions, the mansion has a special room for putting them in.” These recent days, Fan Xian and Liu maintained a subtle, superficial harmony between them, a result of the times, but neither side knew what would happen in the future.

“To be honest, I’m also someone who has studied the scriptures, but how is it that I can’t understand what that eunuch was talking about earlier?” Returning to his bedroom, Fan Xian re-bandaged the wound on his right shoulder and looked at his sister, who was sitting at the table looking at her with a wry smile.

“Eunuch Dai is from the Yu Fu state in Jiangnan, and his accent has always been difficult to understand. But over the years, he has come to the residence from time to time to announce orders, so I can understand some of it.”

Fan Xian hurriedly asked, “What did the imperial decree say, and why was it issued to me?”

Fan Ruo Ruo pursed her lips and smiled, not answering directly, instead saying, “In fact, the palace has been rewarding the family for the past ten years or so, and although my father’s title has been suppressed and not promoted, my brother and I, and even Liu’s have each been rewarded. Now it seems that it is also my brother’s turn.”

Fan Xian was aware of these things, even that little thing, Fan Si Zhe, had a title of En Cavalry Lieutenant, but when it came to himself, he couldn’t help but be a bit curious: “I’m a character who hasn’t returned to the clan to recognize my ancestry, and there’s not much of a name in this palace even if I wanted to be rewarded, is there.”

“Right, so this time, his majesty’s decree, just said that in the last incident, you killed the enemy’s scout or something, with the state’s merit, specially added the title of Taishang Temple Concordance.”

“Taishang Temple Conciliator?” Fan Xian’s voice was greatly surprised, the Taishang Temple was the place in charge of the clan temple’s sacrifices, and although the official position of the Concordance Lang was only an eighth-grade official, he could go in and out of the Celebration Temple as he pleased. Since and Lin Wan’er recognized, he also from time to time in guessing the last time in the Qing temple sacrifices of nobleman exactly what identity, since is Wan’er’s own long, and Wan’er is since childhood in the palace grew up, it seems that that nobleman must be the palace of a certain big person, perhaps is the empress dowager or the eldest princess, just a few days ago the night to visit the Wan’er, know that she would have been worried about the conflict of interest in the aftermath of the wedding, so deliberately hold back did not ask each other.

Could it be that this decree …… contains certain meanings? Fan Xian frowned as he thought, if that big shot was able to persuade His Majesty the Emperor to issue such a decree, and wanted to point out the temple celebrations that day, then what was she thinking? Was it a gesture of goodwill? Or is it a demonstration?

Fan Ruo Ruo saw him thinking hard, finally couldn’t help but laugh, pointing at her brother and said: “Brother ah, really what things involve yourself, you are confused …… This Taishang Temple Conciliator …… is the official position that every princess extra horse harnessed by the side of a team must take before the wedding. The official position that must be assumed before marriage ah.”

Fan Xian suddenly realized, and smiled somewhat embarrassedly, it seemed that this marriage was finally settled. He then thought, because of his injury, he hadn’t been to the royal courtyard for many days, so he thought that Wan’er would be very worried when she found out about her assassination, and he wondered if her condition had worsened–would she be worried? Fan Xian suddenly felt a little confused, that ice-like woman, but she had that kind of mother, that kind of father.

“Yesterday, I asked my sister to go there for me, did the letter get delivered?” He suppressed the faint uneasiness in his heart and asked.

Fan Ruo Ruo serenely replied, “Went there, sister-in-law listened to brother’s words and got through to that big maid, now she steals good food every day, her body is well nourished, it’s just that when she heard that brother had been assassinated, she was a bit worried, but she was too rushed yesterday, and there was Ye Ling’er on the sidelines, so she wasn’t able to write a letter over.”

Fan Xian sighed and didn’t say anything, Fan Ruo Ruo is the person who knows Fan Xian the most in this world, as soon as she heard him sigh she knew what was bothering him.

“Romeo and Juliet.” Ruo Ruo had heard her brother tell this love story when she was a child, and had remembered it until now, smiling and encouraging him, “Brother, you said that people should be brave enough to pursue happiness.”

Fan Xian was very touched, and took his sister into his arms, patting her slightly thin back, saying, “Don’t worry, those two guys were one who drank poison and died, and one who committed suicide with a short sword, but your brother I specialize in dispensing poison and playing with short swords, it’s too different.”

“Is the injury better?” Looking at the teenage boy who leapt through the window, Lin Wan’er painfully told him to lie down on the bed and complained, “What’s the point of coming over when your body looks like this?”

Fan Xian said sadly, “I’m worried that you’re worried about me.”

Lin Wan’er’s heart warmed as she understood these two worries, poured out the remnants of the tea in her own teacup, made some new tea, and sent it to his lips, saying quietly, “I’ll listen to you, and I’ve been taking good care of my own body all these days, so you should take good care of your own body as well.”

Fan Xian took the teacup with one hand, blew away the white mist on it, and said gently, “How can a county princess serve?”

Lin Wan’er bit her lower lip and gasped, “Be angry with me again and I’ll kick you out.”

“Shed?” Fan Xian looked at her with a bad smile.

“I’ve decided that after we get married, we’ll go to Cangshan’s other compound for the winter.” Fan Xian half leaned on the bed, looking at his fiancée beside him who was looking at him with a worried face, and said with a smile, “It’s good for your illness there, and I believe that before then, Mr. Fei Jie should have returned to Kyoto as well.”

“Don’t just think about me.” Lin Wan’er bit her lower lip, her white teeth looking lovely on her red lips, “What if something like this happens again in the future?”

Fan Xian already can’t remember how many times he sneaked into this boudoir late at night, the guards in the courtyard really had a hard time, and actually didn’t find out once, not to mention that this pair of fiancées have long been familiar with each other nowadays. About this matter, Fan Xian also has enough pride, imagine this is equal to the palace outside the small palace, which thief can steal to their own degree?

“What else can happen? Beiqi is not a fool, since this time it has been revealed, next time with the same maneuver, the court will not fall for it.”

Lin Wan’er said sadly, “I’m afraid that there are some people in the court who will dare to go after you recklessly precisely because there will be a Beiqi as a front for another assassination in the future.”

Fan Xian has long known that his fiancée is a smart person, and she grew up in the palace, although there is the empress dowager love, but after all, in the environment is very complex, so for the official things than his own understanding of some. At this time, listening to her, smiled and lifted her soft chin, pinched a pinch, said: “Don’t worry, I firmly believe that I am the person with the best luck in this world.”

Lin Wan’er felt an itch under her jaw, her heart was both joyful and nervous about this intimate action, and immediately two shades of red showed up on her snow white skin, hurriedly pushing Fan Xian’s hand away, and said with some embarrassment, “One can’t always rely on luck to get by.”

Fan Xian liked to see this shy look of hers the most and teased, “I’ve been lucky enough to have you.”

“Is having me …… important?” Lin Wan’er slightly hung her head, looking over from this angle, her long eyelashes were fluttering slightly, obviously a little nervous.

“Very important.” Fan Xian wrapped her into his arms, he wasn’t a very good person at saying love words, so he was also a little nervous, clumsily trying to find the other party’s lips.

Lin Wan’er was hugged by him, only to feel a manly scent coming over her, and couldn’t help but have her body soften a bit, leaning helplessly on his chest, and with a turn of her head she said softly, “Who in the world is trying to kill you?”

This turn of the head, but happened to avoid Fan Xian’s wolf kiss, Fan Xian heart is so irritated, and then listening to this question, is the heart slightly cold, hugged the soft body in the arms tightly, hands in her back unconsciously sliding: “Do not care.”
