Chapter 79: Overlooking the Prison Break
After hiding the pills, Fan Xian twitched his nose, and for some reason his mind began to get hyperactive, and the overbearing true qi in his body began to rush along his distinctively wide meridians, and it seemed as if every pore on his body opened up, greedily sucking in the yuan qi that might or might not be present in this heaven and earth.
The faint smell of jatropha leaves excited Fan Xian.
Taking down the Tiger Guard longsword from the table, which had become completely different after the transformation, and weighing the heavy feel of it, Fan Xian carefully used a cloth belt to bind the sword to his back, maintaining the most convenient angle for the blade to come out. As for the slender black dagger on his leg, it seemed to have become a part of his body over the years, and didn’t need any specialized attention at all.
With a creak, the door was pushed open, and Wang Qinian walked in, saluting Fan Xian and attaching himself to his ear to say something. Fan Xian nodded and swept his gaze over the few remaining household chores on the table, signaling him to get started.
Wang Qinian smiled in embarrassment, “My handiwork is much worse than your honor’s.”
Fan Xian scolded, “You haven’t seen me after makeup, how do you know that my craftsmanship is worse than mine? Back then, you were a great thief wanted by many countries, do you still not know how to disguise yourself?”
“Isn’t the one sitting in the next compartment the one you took care of with your own hands?” Wang Qinian gently handed over a horse’s ass: “Hey, that craft, the other people do not know, in the opinion of the subordinate, adults are the heavenly banishment of the immortals down to earth.”
“All nonsense.” Fan Xian sat down on the stool, laughed: “On those wild fairy temples next to Kyoto, which clay statue can look better than me.”
One person had thick skin, one person had even thicker skin, and the two of them made up a few sentences like this, effectively dispersing the last trace of tension remaining in Fan Xian’s heart. As his closest subordinate, Wang Qinian never played an important role, except for tracking outside of Cangzhou City and being responsible for intelligence liaison lately, but fortunately, he still had a handful of jokes, which could make Fan Xian a bit more relaxed.
Wang Qinian picked up the knife, snorting and scraping on Fan Xian’s eyebrows, and took a handful of wet grey surface with good water from the table, and began to repair Fan Xian’s face, he felt that the stickiness and color were still somewhat different from the facial skin of the Lord of the Tisheviks, and could not help but frown and say, “It is still better to be a stick surface.”
Fan Xian sighed, “Where can I find one? I did sneak into an official’s house the other day to fetch some makeup powder and rouge, and the effect is not bad.”
In a large mansion in the south of the city, torches were held high in the extremely vast courtyard, and a dozen or so black-clothed men covered from head to toe waited in silence. On the other side of the courtyard, a middle-aged man was meditating with his eyes closed on a tutor’s chair, his right hand resting on the smooth black hand of the chair and gently rubbing it, and his feet seemed to be casual, but were actually as heavy as a mountain as he stepped on the green stone tiles.
This is the Qi country in the north to resist the barbarians for seven years on the Uesugi tiger general, now the world’s most famous generals, the North Qi military strength is the strongest, but also the highest reputation of the strong man.
After a long time, Shangsugi tiger slowly open tiger eyes, two deterrent cold light looked at the person kneeling in front of him, quietly said: “Since the palace does not leave me a way back, then I will not sit and wait for death, you go carefully, the south of those who want to sell me a good, but who knows what they actually stored some thoughts.”
His voice is actually not big, but thick to the extreme, like ringing a bell generally buzzing, can imagine this generation of famous general’s powerful internal strength cultivation.
Kneeling in front of him was none other than Tan Wu, who had been spending his days depressed within the Upper Capital, the fierce general of the army who had once been restrained by a single move by Gao Da in front of the embassy that day. He clasped his fists in respect and said, “Marshal, the Southerners are cunning, you must be careful.”
Uesugi Tiger said, “This general has his own measure.” He entered the palace for the last time today, the young emperor still did not give him an approval, the empress dowager’s side insisted on imprisoning Sean, Uesugi Tiger was worried about his righteous father’s safety, which forced him to prepare to do this thing that violates the heavenly rules.
“The children and grandchildren of the war family, really won’t let go of any opportunity.” Uesugi Tiger smiled bitterly, if his righteous father didn’t know that secret, he thought that the young emperor would definitely sell himself this favor, but that young emperor, although he was a bit of a woman, but in his bones, he still retained the majesty of the legacy of Marshal Battle Qingfeng, and he wouldn’t let go of the opportunity to be able to enhance the country’s power in a short period of time, or even to lead the army south to unify the world.
Therefore, there was no chance that righteous father Sean would come out of that prison cell alive. Thinking of his righteous father’s miserable encounters in these decades, this generation of famous generals who had been recalled to the upper capital also eclipsed himself.
“Go.” He gently waved his hand, then returned to the backyard, where the madam was anxiously preparing the gifts for the Empress Dowager’s birthday a few days later.
“Yes.” Tan Wu half-kneeled on the ground and led the way.
Within a piece of private houses on the outside of Chongwumen in the Upper Capital City, there was an extremely inconspicuous small courtyard. The dense and narrow streets and alleys in all directions were interspersed in this residential area, so even old Shangjing people would be in danger of getting lost, and dozens of feet away from that courtyard, there were some common trees planted in the north, the trees were as straight as swords, and their slightly white barks looked very obvious even in the darkness of the night, and fortunately at this time, it had already begun the summer heat, and there was plenty of rainfall this year, so the branches and leaves were especially luxuriant.
Fan Xian carefully regulated his true qi, strongly controlling his heart chakra, so that his body caged in black clothes blended in with the surroundings, ensuring that no one could discover him. His eyes peered through the palm-sized leaves toward the mansion on the front right below him, calmly waiting for the rescue operation of Sean to begin on the side of the Uesugi Tiger.
Sean is locked up in that small courtyard, this is the Supervisory Yuan around spent a lot of effort to find out the news, but this evening to do it, but only the Uesugi Tiger’s those dead soldiers, Yan Bingyun’s children have already returned to the darkness, just do not know whether the Xinyang side will send what experts to help.
In the upper capital of the important place to rob prisoners, Uesugi tiger this is a violation of the laws of heaven, regardless of the final success, the relationship between the royal family of Northern Qi and the military will be on the verge of rupture. Thinking of this, Fan Xian, who was lying on a branch like a wombat, couldn’t help but feel great admiration for a certain nobleman in the south.
Although the eldest princess was a crazy woman, she was indeed a very powerful crazy woman, and from the day she backhandedly sold Yan Bingyun, she seemed to have counted on all the changes that would follow, and no matter how the changes were made, the court of Qing, would gain great benefits. This woman, is really quite extraordinary.
The night is gradually deepening, the mansion below the high tree is still quiet, the baby crying on the river in the distance, the old horse in the caravan in the near distance is breathlessly chewing the hay, the stars in the sky are hiding in the clouds, the leaves beside me are rubbing their bodies in self-pity in the night wind, this night seems to be the same as every night in the Upper Capital City, there is not a trace of difference.
Without warning, Fan Xian, who was crouched on a tree branch, opened his eyes and looked down at the mansion below.
The jailbreak had begun!
A carriage slowly drove up to the entrance of that small courtyard, and at the same time, a cart covered in gray cloth was silently pushed up to the back wall of the small courtyard. The defense force in the small courtyard didn’t seem to have detected anything strange, but Fan Xian, who was overlooking the earth from a high tree, clearly saw these moves in his eyes.
A middle-aged man came down from the carriage, while at the same time Fan Xian realized that several dark shadows had already disappeared around the small courtyard.
“Who!” The brocade guard responsible for guarding Sean was extremely vigilant, revealing half of his body from the wall and holding a heavy crossbow aimed at the middle-aged man standing at the entrance of the small courtyard.
The middle-aged man was Tan Wu, whom Fan Xian had met once before, only to see him smile, and when he opened his mouth to speak, suddenly two black lights flashed by, and two life-threatening crossbow arrows, one on the left and one on the right, ruthlessly passed through that brocade-clothes guard’s throat, and blood flew across his body!
That brocade guard’s neck was like two more iron bars, it looked bloody and incomparable!
“Attack!” Tan Wu softly issued the order, and what responded to him was a loud bang. From the carriage came down a strong man, about eight feet tall, holding a large iron hammer in his hand, striding across to the entrance of the small courtyard, the muscles of his right arm erupted, and actually slammed down on the door of the small courtyard in a raw manner, looking at the might of his hand, the wooden door of the small courtyard should have immediately turned into a countless number of broken pieces of wood.
Dang’s loud sound, shocked the people in the field deafening!
Sure enough, there are a lot of broken pieces of wood splashing, but that door …… is not broken! It turned out that inside the wooden door, there was actually a layer of steel plate sandwiched inside! Fan Xian, who was high up in the tree, was slightly aghast, the place where the Northern Qi Brocade Guards kept their felons was really not that simple.
In an instant, the Brocade Guards in the courtyard had already reacted, and began to concentrate their manpower to the entrance of the courtyard, and with the strong man’s falling hammer gusts, even the door made of steel plate began to creak and tremble, and seemed to be unable to withstand a few more hammers!
A shouting and killing sound, ten people in black climbed the wall and up, and the inside of the brocade guards killed in a one, these black people’s martial arts cultivation is not bad, the most powerful is the moves contained between the meaning of blood and kill, every move is the wind and thunder, give up their lives and forget about their deaths. These brocade-clothed guards, who had been guarding the prosperous area of Shangjing for years, were no match for these military generals, and as blood smeared all over the night, they were killed and retreated in a series of defeats.
Fan Xian indifferently watched all this from the tree, knowing that the reason why Uesugi Tiger’s men wanted to smash the door open was because Sean’s legs were wasted and he simply couldn’t walk high enough, and as he watched that burly man desperately smashing the steel door like it was under hard labor, he couldn’t help but say in his heart, “Smash the wall ah.” But seemed to forget that Sean’s legs were smashed by his own order.
