Simultaneous travel: Each of me has a different golden finger

Chapter 198 The Man in the Dark
"But I have done what you said. No matter what, even if I can't save him, you should let me take a look at him."

Zhuang Mohan begged.

"No, old man, you didn't complete my request, so there's no need to discuss compensation!"

The eldest princess's expression changed instantly and she said in a cold voice.

Zhuang Mohan is a true literary master. He has devoted his life to interpreting books and understanding their meanings. Just as Fan Xian said in a poem at the banquet, "How can I bow down to the powerful and wealthy and make myself unhappy?"

The princess was able to control Zhuang Mohan, not because she had great power. If Zhuang Mohan had not been trapped by family affection, no one could have made him bend his pride.

"Aren't you afraid that I will tell others about the deal between us?"

Zhuang Mohan looked anxious.

"Oh, old man, you have to think about it carefully.

Few people in the world know that the literary giant Zhuang Mohan and the great devil Sean of Northern Qi are brothers.

If this matter were to be made public, the world would be shocked and your reputation would be completely ruined."

The princess smiled faintly and said, "Besides, Sean is under strict surveillance by the Inspection Institute, which is a big bargaining chip in Daqing's hands.

If you raise the price again and want to release him, it won’t be as simple as Yan Bingyun. "

Zhuang Mohan looked embarrassed. The princess' words had completely grasped him.

At this time, Fan Xian, who was on the beam, overheard their conversation and was shocked.

'Xiao En and Zhuang Mohan are actually brothers!'

In the deepest part of the Inspection Institute's prison, a powerful demon from twenty years ago was imprisoned. This man was Sean.

When Chen Pingping returned the Commissioner's badge to Fan Xian, he gave him a brief introduction to this man's deeds.

'Sean, the former head of Northern Qi's secret intelligence, was a ninth-rank cultivator and was once a major obstacle for Nanqing to advance into Northern Qi...

Even Chen Pingping, the director of the Inspection Institute, was extremely wary of him. Why could the princess use Sean as a bargaining chip...'

Fan Xian's heart moved. From the conversation between the two, it was not difficult to find that the princess wanted Zhuang Mohan to frame him in exchange for letting Sean go.

'It's just that Zhuang Mohan is a little old, but he's not senile. I'm afraid it's hard to convince him with just the one-sided words of the princess...

Could it be that the princess has already reached into the Inspection Institute to obtain some information in order to gain the trust of Zhuang Mohan! '

Fan Xian's face showed a slight joy. If this was true, then the eldest princess had committed a serious taboo!

Fan Xian is no longer the young boy who had just arrived in Kyoto, so he naturally knows the consequences of the royal family interfering in the Inspection Institute.

With this thought in mind, Fan Xian put his head as close to the bricks and tiles as possible in an attempt to find out more information.

"Alright, I'm tired, old man, please go now. Besides, the two countries have already signed a ceasefire agreement and exchanged Yan Bingyun and Xiao En.

"When the delegation is escorting Sean, the old man will rescue him."

The eldest princess waved goodbye to the guest.

"Ugh!"

Zhuang Mohan sighed, as if he had aged a few years.

The specific content of his deal with the princess was that he would pick up Sean before the delegation sent him away.

Outsiders who are not aware of the situation might find it strange. Since the delegation would soon release Sean back to Northern Qi, why did he take him away in advance?
However, Sean was responsible for a huge secret, and after twenty years, his power in Northern Qi had completely collapsed.

With the political changes, Sean is no longer the big devil he used to be!

Just like Chen Pingping, who is second only to the emperor in Nanqing and in charge of the Inspection Institute, he has extremely high power, but he still has many enemies in the court.

If you suddenly disappear for twenty years, and your political enemies rise up, when you return, there will be no place for you!

"I see. I was wondering why this old man went to so much trouble to rescue Sean before the delegation escorted him."

Fan Xian couldn't help but gloat over their misfortune. No matter what, the Princess and Zhuang Mohan were now his enemies, and he would be happy if anyone suffered a setback.

As he was thinking this, Fan Xian accidentally stepped on a brick and broke it!
"who!"

A palace maid shouted loudly, took light steps, and flew up with the help of a few people.

"Someone is eavesdropping!"

The princess was shocked. If the fact that she and Zhuang Mohan had colluded to frame Fan Xian was leaked, she would have to resort to some tricks to get away with it.

'not good! '

Fan Xian's pupils shrank, and he thought to himself that he was in trouble. The maid used her palm power, and the powerful force made Fan Xian raise his eyebrows.

"boom!"

With a burst of domineering true energy, Fan Xian shattered the palm force from the front with a punch, and even knocked the maid flying backwards and falling from the beam.

If she hadn't used her skills to stabilize her body in time, even landing safely would have been a problem.

"What a powerful Qi, are you a ninth-rank master?"

The maid's arms felt numb and her face was cold.

She has served the eldest princess for many years, received guidance from famous masters, and has excellent martial arts qualifications. She has reached the eighth level in her practice. Although she looks like the eldest princess's maid, she is actually a retainer.

Apart from Yan Xiaoyi, she was the strongest fighter under the eldest princess, but she actually had a hard time taking the palm from this mysterious man!

'Only a fool would tell you!'

Fan Xian muttered something in his mind, then suddenly rushed out.

We have gained enough today. If we don’t leave now, when will we leave?

"Come on!"

The eldest princess's expression changed slightly.

"Yes!"

Several maids with martial arts skills chased after Fan Xian.

"You, go and tell Yan Xiaoyi about this and ask him to capture the assassin, alive or dead!"

The eldest princess looked at her personal maid.

"Yes!"

…………

"There are assassins!"

The palace guards immediately became alert and the martial law level was raised by more than one level!
"What bad luck!"

Fan Xian kept running on the beams, putting the key to the box on his waist.

After running all the way, he actually arrived not far from the city wall.

'Very good! ’

Fan Xian was overjoyed.

The next moment, an arrow flew from a distance, aiming directly at Fan Xian!

"call out!"

Fan Xian's alarm bells rang, the speed of the arrow was no less than that of a ninth-grade master.

Fortunately, the archer was still some distance away from Fan Xian, so Fan Xian concentrated his true energy on his legs and barely dodged the attack.

"Please stay, sir!"

Yan Xiaoyi's eyes were filled with coldness, and he put the arrow on the bow again.

Archers above the ninth rank are in trouble now!

Fan Xian's heart skipped a beat.

"No, the distance has widened. The archer has too much advantage. I don't have the capital to fight him. The other palace guards are also rushing here!"

Fan Xian gritted his teeth and decided to give it a try. His true energy burst out again and he stepped on the city wall in an S shape, intending to get Yan Xiaoyi's arrow over the wall before him.

"interesting……"

Yan Xiaoyi curled the corner of his mouth. It was just a little cleverness. It would at most cause him some trouble.

With the eyesight of a ninth-rank archer, Yan Xiaoyi locked onto Fan Xian again and was about to shoot a fatal arrow!

But at this moment, all the hairs on his body suddenly exploded, as if he was being stared at by a poisonous snake in the dark.

"Tear!"
