Save the tragic villain in progress!

Rong Xuan and Rong Zhengqing sneaked into the capital just like that.

Shengjing City is at the foot of the emperor, so it is naturally extraordinary.Flying pavilions flow pills, painted buildings fly, and the red walls of the palace are connected to the sky.Both sides of the road are full of merchants and hawkers, and the sound of selling is endless, and the passers-by are all well-dressed.The literati played chess in the teahouse, pointing out the romantic poems of the country, the young ladies with elegant skirts and sleeves, hiding their faces and smiling ashamedly.In front of the Juxian Pavilion, countless swordsmen and rangers flocked to the arena, and the sword shadows were like lightning, competing with each other.

"It's lively, it's really lively."

Rong Xuan led his horse and walked down the street, dressed in white and wearing a sword, he was handsome and unrestrained.He admired the local conditions and customs in the capital, and even forgot about finding his mother for a while.When the old problem recurs, I always like to stare at beautiful girls, whistle frivolously, and stare at her until she blushes, shy, and finally stomps her feet and turns to leave.

Rong Zhengqing was not much stronger.He is a martial idiot, staring at the arena in front of Juxian Pavilion for a long time, he couldn't move his eyes.Seeing the beautiful moves, they applaud in secret, and seeing the fake ones, they are anxious to hammer and punch, wishing they could rush up and fight for a good time.

One of the father and son watched the beauties and the other watched the competition, but they forgot about the business.

It wasn't until Rong Xuan was hit by a beautiful woman with a sachet that he woke up.He caught the purse thrown by the other party reflexively, but saw the other party smiled at him, turned and left.

There is a custom in Dazhou, if a woman sees a child she likes, she throws a sachet of hairpin jade to show her affection.Under normal circumstances, Rong Xuan should catch up after receiving the other party's things, so as to facilitate a good relationship, but Rong Xuan looked down and threw the sachet back into the girl's arms gently: "Girl, Your stuff fell."

If the lost property is found, it should be returned to the obligee, otherwise the owner will bite back, and it will be difficult to explain in court.

After Rong Xuan finished all this, he didn't notice the woman's shameful and angry expression. Seeing an inn next to him, he pulled Rong Zhengqing's sleeve: "Father, we still need to stay in the capital for a while, so we need to find a place to stay first." Bar."

Hearing this, Rong Zhengqing reluctantly looked away from the competition platform, tied the horse outside, and followed Rong Xuan into the Fengqiao Inn next to him.

This inn is not small in scale, and it is bustling inside. It seems that the business is good.Xiao Er was originally cleaning the table, but when he saw them coming in, he immediately stepped forward to greet them, and asked with a smile on his face, "Guest officer, please come in, do you want to eat or stay at the hotel?"

Rong Xuan looked around and saw that there was still room at the bottom, so he randomly found a table to sit down, took out a piece of broken silver and handed it to Xiao Er: "I want two upper rooms, and then look at the delicious food in your shop." How many, tea or wine."

Xiao Er took the silver and immediately left happily, while Zhang Luo went to serve the dishes.

Rong Zhengqing is a person who loves drinking and drinking, and when he heard this, he complained, "Why don't you have two jars of good wine?"

Just when the hot tea was served, Rong Xuan picked up the teapot and poured him a cup calmly: "Father, it's a mistake to drink. There are so many masters in Shengjing City, so it's better to be safe."

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Rong Xuan always felt that there were an unusually large number of people in Shengjing City, and most of them were swordsmen.While Xiaoer was serving the food, he asked without a trace: "I see it's getting late, and it's almost time to lock the city gate, why is there still a crowd of people outside?"

Xiaoer said: "My son is an outsider, so I don't know about it. Today is the [-]th birthday of the Empress Dowager. The palace ordered the whole city to light up lights to celebrate. Within three days, Jinwu couldn't help it. In addition, the emperor intended to choose Princess Yannian. Son-in-law, there will be a lot of excitement outside the Juxian Pavilion tomorrow, if you have spare time, you might as well take a look."

Rong Xuan was thoughtful when he heard the words, and put a piece of broken silver on the table: "What does Juxian Pavilion have to do with Princess Yannian's marriage proposal?"

Xiao Er thought that Rong Xuan was indeed an outsider, so he stuffed the silver into his sleeve without any trace, so as not to be seen by the shopkeeper, he said in a low voice: "The Juxian Pavilion was established by the royal family, and it has always been a place where swordsmen and rangers gather. , then went to the stage to fight, and if the dignitaries in Juxian Pavilion liked it, they would accept it as their disciples."

Xiao Eryu stopped, pointing to the still lively arena outside the door and explained: "This time, the emperor chooses a son-in-law for Princess Yannian. There is no limit on family status, age, and only swordsmanship. Those who intend to participate in the competition to recruit relatives only use Just go to the Juxian Pavilion and hang up your name. Those swordsmen and rangers who heard the news flocked to Beijing and wanted to try their luck. No, when there are too many people, it is easy to quarrel, and once there are quarrels, it is easy to fight. It has not stopped outside for several days .”

Rong Xuan nodded, he wrote this plot.The princess Zhao Yannian finally married the prince of Jiang Guo. After the prince ascended the throne, he was named queen again.It can also be regarded as an opportunity for Zhou and Jiang to form an alliance.

Rong Xuan: "I see."

Seeing Rongxuan's saber, Xiao Er sent an extra sentence for the sake of money: "I think you are a good-looking talent, so you might as well try your luck. I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will come to Juxian Pavilion tomorrow to win over disciples. If you can be accepted by him Under the door, prosperity is just around the corner."

Rong Xuan thought that it would not be unusual for the prince to come to Juxian Pavilion in person.He and Princess Yannian have the same mother and siblings, and they have a deep relationship, so they are naturally worried that there will be some dubious people in the martial arts competition.But he didn't come to "win over the doormen", but to "clean up the door".He eliminated all crooked melons and cracked dates among the applicants.

After Xiaoer left, Rong Zhengqing frowned looking at the endless fighting outside: "It's just a princess, even if she grows into a fairy, she won't be so bloody in the fight."

Rong Xuan took a sip of tea and explained: "Father doesn't understand, they are not for the princess, but for Zhou Guo behind her... both for in-laws and alliances."

The contestants in Juxian Pavilion may not all be rangers, many of them are sent by various countries to inquire about news.At least Rong Xuan saw more than three Xiliang warriors mixed in there just now, it can be seen that fish and dragons are mixed together.

Rong Zhengqing couldn't understand the nonsense, and finally remembered the business: "Xuan'er, Shengjing City is so big, where should we find your mother?"

When Rong Xuan heard that he was drinking tea, he paused slightly, thinking where to find it?Naturally, I went to Prince Yan's mansion to look for it.It's just that he originally planned to ask Xiao Er about the location, but after thinking about it carefully, it was wrong.

Without him, Prince Yan's mansion is heavily guarded, and Ji Fan might not really give it to him if he rashly came to ask for someone.Don't mother fail to save her at that time, but fold herself in instead.

Even if Rong Zhengqing is a first-grade swordsman, if he can forcibly bring Rong's mother out of Prince Yan's mansion, it will definitely alarm the government.He is easy to escape alone, but he may not be able to escape successfully with his family.

Rong Xuan just wanted to bring Rong's mother out without bloodshed, and didn't want to make trouble.It seems that Ji Fan doesn't look like someone who would attack the old and weak, women and children, so he should think of a way tonight, visit Prince Yan's mansion at night, and then make a long-term plan.

Rong Xuan comforted him and said: "Father, when the crown prince outside the Juxian Pavilion comes in person tomorrow, there must be people and merchants watching. It won't be too late for us to go to the streets tomorrow to inquire about the news."

Rong Zhengqing is impatient: "Why is it tomorrow?"

Rong Xuan glanced at him and pointed out: "Father, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry."

Anxious to find a pretty wife, understand?

As night fell, the streets were still bustling with activity, dancing and dancing, and the lights were brightly lit.The crowd gradually dispersed towards the middle of the night, leaving only a deserted scene after the hustle and bustle.

Today is the birthday of the Empress Dowager, a banquet is held in the palace, and the night is full of joy. Naturally, Ji Fan is also invited.After the banquet was over, he took the carriage back to the mansion, but drank a few more glasses of wine, so he was inevitably a little drunk.

Yan Fengchen had been squatting on the steps waiting for him, holding a box of snacks in his arms, burying his head in eating until his mouth was full of scum.Ji Fan walked through the corridor, and saw Yan Fengchen waiting at the door of his bedroom at a glance, suddenly remembered what he had told him, raised his hand and waved the servants behind him: "Stay back."

The maidservants with lanterns behind them to illuminate the road all leaned over and retreated to the sides.The light dimmed for a while, and the cobblestone road in the courtyard became more and more bright and clean.

When Yan Fengchen heard the voice, he immediately stood up from the ground.He wiped the scum from his mouth and swallowed it in a panic, looking like a child who hasn't grown up: "Your Highness."

Ji Fan frowned imperceptibly, stepped into the room, and motioned for him to follow.The hem of the robe brushed against the threshold, and there was a soft sound of cloth rubbing: "How about what I told you to do?"

Yan Fengchen scratched his head when he heard the words, his expression was troubled, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Ji Fan was drunk and drowsy. He was resting on the couch with his eyes closed. He didn't hear Yan Fengchen's answer for a long time, and finally opened his eyes and looked at him: "...he has entered the capital?"

Yan Fengchen shook his head like a rattle.

Ji Fan frowned: "He didn't enter Beijing?"

Yan Fengchen still shook his head.

Ji Fan's voice sank a bit: "Didn't I tell you to follow him? What happened?"

Yan Fengchen was young after all, and although he was skilled in martial arts, he was raised to be ignorant of worldly affairs.Hearing this, he rubbed his heart subconsciously, a little unhappy, a little unconvinced, and a little wronged, muttering: "I was discovered, and there is an old monster beside him, so powerful, I can't beat him."

Ji Fan thought to himself that Yan Fengchen's swordsmanship has reached the second rank, and since he entered Shengjing, he has rarely met an opponent. How could someone overwhelm him: "What happened, tell me carefully."

Yan Fengchen had no choice but to tell the whole story.However, he talked nonsense and didn't reveal any useful information. He only knew that there was a middle-aged man with excellent martial arts beside Rong Xuan.

Hearing this, Ji Fan rubbed his forehead slowly with his fingertips, closed his eyes and fell into deep thought. Because of the frowning movement, a cinnabar mole on the center of his brow suddenly became sharp and sharp, and muttered to himself: "Middle-aged man...middle-aged man... Could it be..."

He opened his eyes suddenly, and suddenly remembered that a prisoner escaped from the Criminal Department of the capital the day before yesterday, and his surname also happened to be Rong...could it be Rong Xuan's father?

When Ji Fan thought about this, a dark light flashed quietly in his eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Forget it... So what if his martial arts are strong, he doesn't believe that Rong Xuan, a filial son, even wants his mother away, and the other party will find him sooner or later.

Seeing Ji Fan's uncertain face, Yan Fengchen couldn't help feeling a little nervous.He caught a glimpse of a pack of candied fruit on the table, grabbed it secretly and wanted to slip away, but just as he picked it up, Ji Fan's faint voice sounded in his ear: "Put it back, this time you are not doing well, and you will be punished without eating snacks for three days." .”

Yan Fengchen stared in surprise: "Three days?!"

Ji Fan closed his eyes: "Six days."

Yan Fengchen: "Six days?!!"

Ji Fan: "Twelve days."

Yan Fengchen was anxious, and quickly waved his hands: "Don't, don't, just three days, just three days, I'll go, can't I go?"

He put the candied fruit back and left in a hurry.However, as soon as he left, there was another knock on the door with his back foot. The deputy commander stood outside the door and clasped his fists and said, "Reporting to His Royal Highness, the last general has brought the detailed work back, waiting to be dealt with."

Outside the cold and beautiful courtyard, there was a man who was tied up all over without knowing when.With a cloth strip stuffed into his mouth, he was kneeled on the grass by the guards of Ji Fan's residence, in a state of embarrassment.Because he was in extreme panic, his whole body was shaking like a sieve, and he almost peed his pants.

Back then when hunting in Nanshan, the children of the nobles had guards, but on the day of the attack, their limbs were weak and they were powerless to resist.Ji Fan sent someone to investigate after the incident, only to learn that someone had drugged the meal.The man who was tied up was the horse feeder of the Nanshan hunting ground. He took money from others, secretly drugged the guard water, fled afterwards, and was arrested today.

Hearing this, Ji Fan got up, and directly pulled out an unsharp sword from the sword stand in Duobao Pavilion.He flicked the blade with his fingers, and a flash of light flashed across it, revealing a pair of cold and indifferent eyes: "Who did he confess to instigating?"

The deputy commander stood outside the door and replied: "Return to Your Highness, this man has suffered all kinds of punishments, but he just refuses to tell. He just said that a strange man gave him 1000 taels of silver and asked him to put medicine in the water. He was fascinated and agreed." gone."

"boom--"

The door of the room was suddenly knocked open with something, and a writing brush rolled out.Before the deputy commander had time to take a closer look, he heard another clang of a weapon, and at some point there was a sword that had not been sharpened on the ground, and the cold light was dazzling.

Ji Fan's faint voice sounded from inside the room: "Give it to him."

Hearing the words, the deputy commander picked up the long sword on the ground, looked down, and thought that although the blood had not been seen, it was enough to kill someone.He was about to walk towards the man when Ji Fan's emotionless voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Let him swallow..."

Ji Fan said, "Let him swallow this sword."

Listen carefully with an imperceptible interest.

The deputy commander was taken aback when he heard the words, and then took the order: "But Your Highness, we haven't found out who is behind the scenes. Once this person dies, won't the clues be broken?"

Ji Fan already knew who it was: "There's no need to look it up, it's from the Marquis of Donglin."

Hearing this, the deputy commander figured it out after a little thought. He was surprised and angry: "His Royal Highness, he must still remember the matter of his only son's death in the battle of the Yan Kingdom. He clearly provoked the two countries to fight on purpose. You should play Ming Zhou Emperor, Ask him to investigate strictly!"

Ji Fan said coldly: "Emperor Zhou is getting older and obsessed with the art of cultivating immortals and attaining the Tao. He has no intention of going to court. Donglin Hou is a veteran of the two dynasties and is deeply favored. Emperor Zhou will never punish him for foreign ministers like us." , at most find a scapegoat to calm the matter."

Ji Fan already had a decision in his heart: "Go, find a way to tell the Duke of Ruling about Donglinhou's arrangement of assassins. He is not afraid of anything. I want to see if he dares to deal with Donglinhou."

Who doesn't know in the capital of Mansheng that when the prince of Ruling Xiaojun was hunting in the Nanshan hunting ground, his ass was stabbed by an assassin.When searching for the assassin, count him as the most active jumping up and down, and even let him know who instigated it, and his grandma dug out the ancestral grave!

The biological mother of Ruling Xiaojun Wang is the emperor's younger sister.Princess Yongning has always loved this single seedling as a treasure, so she developed the arrogant and domineering temperament of the prince of Ruling County.If the king of the small county of Ruling really went to Dong Linhou to settle accounts, the palms of his hands and the backs of his hands would be full of flesh, and the emperor would be the one who would have a headache.

This is called, borrowing a knife to kill...

A man kneeling outside the courtyard was pierced with a three-foot long sword in his throat. After a violent struggle, he lost his life and fell to the ground.The guards dragged the body out, cleaned up the blood on the ground, and returned to the way it was before.

The night was dark, and the candles at the corner of the table were almost burned out, but Ji Fan hadn't gone to bed yet.In front of him was an oiled paper bag, which contained a pile of candied dried fruit preserves. I wonder if it was because of the long-term storage, the water lost and became a little dry.

Ji Fan picked up a plum, stared at it for a while, wondering what to think, and finally put it back.

"..."

He thought of those days in Peach Blossom Village, closed his eyes, and his mind suddenly became complicated.The drowsiness came up belatedly, mixed with the drowsy feeling of drinking, which made people exhausted.He leaned on the bed and fell asleep unconsciously.

【Ding!Please pay attention to the host, the villain's blackness has been reduced to 63%]

【Ding!Please pay attention to the host, the villain's blackness has increased to 97%]

Rong Xuan walked through the eaves under the cover of night, and looked at all the large and small rooms in Prince Yan's mansion, but he didn't find Rong's mother.In the end, he could only come to the largest master bedroom, but before he could wait any longer, the system beeped twice suddenly, which startled him.

Rong Xuan glared at the sparkling diamond: "You don't have Do Not Disturb mode?"

The system is arrogant: [Sorry, there is no such function yet. 】

Rong Xuan: "Then please don't be surprised next time, what if you scare people to death?"

The system snorted: [If you don't do anything bad in your life, you won't be afraid of Little King Kong knocking on the door in the middle of the night! 】

Rong Xuan squinted his eyes: "Knocking on the door is equivalent to knocking on the door from death, who wouldn't be afraid?"

He can be considered to know how the authors of the previous websites disappeared, and it was all caused by this black-hearted diamond!

The system snorted: [I helped you to be reborn, I didn't harm you, you bite Lu Dongbin, you don't know good people! 】

Rong Xuan was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, so he jumped off the eaves neatly, leaned outside the door and listened for a while.Seeing that it was quiet inside, it didn't look like someone was there, so I pried open the window and went in——

Regardless of whether there is anyone inside, in order to save my mother, I can only bite the bullet and drill.

Rong Xuan opened the window leading directly to the master bedroom. When he entered the room, he subconsciously glanced at the opposite bed, but saw that it was empty and there was no one lying there.

Ok?

Doesn't Ji Fan sleep here?

Rong Xuan was wearing night clothes, landed silently, and quietly walked outside.But I saw a man as cold as the moon lying quietly on the low couch in the study.White brocade robe, jade belt around the waist, sleeves stained with alcohol, black hair and vermilion lips, at a glance, it looks like a god.

The lamps and candles at the corner of the table were getting darker, and in the half-darkness, his face became more and more hazy, as unreal as a dream.

It's Ji Fan...

Seeing this, Rong Xuan froze, and subconsciously stopped, thinking that he had been discovered.However, after waiting for a while, there was no movement, and only then did he realize that the other party had fallen asleep.

"..."

Rong Xuan heaved a sigh of relief without leaving a trace, and quietly stepped forward.I don't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that Ji Fan seemed to have lost weight, a little thinner than when he was in the village.

Back in the capital, isn't Ji Fan happy?

Rong Xuan leaned down on the side of the couch, forgot about finding his mother for a while, and stared at her fascinated.

The night was cold, and Ji Fan was only wearing a set of thin clothes, so it was hard to avoid the cold.Rong Xuan looked around, and was about to go to the room to get the quilt, but before he could move, he saw Ji Fan suddenly turned over, and accidentally rolled off the couch——

"!!!"

For a moment, Rong Xuan didn't care that he would be discovered, so he quickly reached out and took him into his arms.Fortunately, Ji Fan didn't wake up either. He closed his eyes and rubbed against his shoulder lightly, then went back to sleep.

Rong Xuan: "..."

Damn, scared to death.

It's just that Ji Fan didn't wake up like this?

Rong Xuan sensed something was wrong, frowned and lowered his head to smell it, but he smelled a faint smell of alcohol.I thought to myself, no wonder I slept like this, because I had been drinking.He was a little more courageous than before. After all, drunks don't wake up so easily, so he hugged Ji Fan horizontally and walked towards the room.

When he passed the desk, he found a bag of candied fruit on it, and he paused slightly.

……
