I am gradually omniscient in the heavens

Chapter 176 Preparation for Action
For the next few days, Fan Xian had been negotiating with Honglu Temple and the Northern Qi Mission.

And because Yan Bingyun, a secret agent sent by Nanqing to Northern Qi, was arrested, the negotiation reached a stalemate.

Northern Qi demanded the release of Xiao En and Si Lili, and the return of the land occupied by the army.

Honglu Temple didn't dare to be self-reliant, and hurriedly reported the news to Emperor Qing.

Emperor Qing issued an order in time, ordering Honglu Temple, not to give up an inch of the land that the soldiers had conquered, but Yan Bingyun had to come back.

With Emperor Qing's request, the negotiation went smoothly, and it only took a few days to discuss all the details.

Emperor Qing was very happy. He wanted to hold a banquet tomorrow night at the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests. At the same time, he invited the missions from Northern Qi and Dongyi City to participate.

In addition, several princes in Beijing, the Ministry of Rites, Honglu Temple, the Ministry of War, and some generals will all attend the banquet.

Since Fan Xian was the deputy reception envoy for the mission's negotiations during this period, he was naturally included in the invitation.

After Fan Xian returned home, he was called by Fan Jian and told him some things.

When Fan Xian heard that Fan Jian said that he was already the hope of Qing Kingdom's future literary world, he took a sip of the tea he had just taken into his mouth, and immediately spit it out.

The literary rituals and music in this world are respected by the north. Whether it is the Northern Qi Dynasty or the dynasties before the Northern Qi Dynasty, the literary world has always been strong in the north and weak in the south, even the military strength is the same.

In recent years, due to the enthronement of the current Emperor Qing, the military strength of Nanqing surpassed that of the north.

But in the literary world, the North is still respected, and finally Fan Xian came out, which finally made the people of Qing Kingdom feel a little proud.

Therefore, Fan Jian told Fan Xian that as long as he behaved steadily in the hall, it was enough, and Zhuang Mohan's status, logically speaking, would not make things difficult for Fan Xian.

Hearing this, Fan Xian relaxed a lot.

After Fan Xian returned to his room, he felt in a good mood, so he hung a red lantern at the door,

When Wuzhu came, he saw the red lantern hanging at the door.

As soon as he entered the door, he said, "You hung up a red lantern!"

Fan Xian looked at Wu Zhu, whose eyes were covered with a black cloth, and was very puzzled, why Wu Zhu was able to see the surrounding things clearly even though his eyes were covered.

So, Fan Xian asked out the doubts in his heart.

"Uncle, for so many years, I've always been a little curious, can your eyes see? How come you even know when I hang a lantern, and even what color it is."

Wu Zhu didn't know how to answer this, but said: "It's hard for me to explain all this. I know these things, but I don't rely on looking."

When Fan Xian heard this, he thought of something, and said, "Heart?"

Zhang Hao sensed Wu Zhu's arrival, walked out of the room, walked to Fan Xian's door, and heard Fan Xian's "mind's eye".

Zhang Hao glanced at Wuzhu and said: "It's not the mind's eye, I can feel the same perception as a radar detector, I also have this ability, but Uncle Wuzhu's situation is a little different, it will have to wait until you find out by yourself gone."

Seeing Zhang Hao enter the door, Fan Xian got up quickly, and then, the three of them began to make plans for tomorrow.

Fan Xian said, "Tomorrow night, the royal family will hold a banquet in the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests."

Wu Zhu was a little puzzled when he heard the words, so he asked, "What does the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests have to do with Wang Qinian?"

Zhang Hao burst out laughing, Wu Zhu didn't expect to have a talent for funny.

Fan Xian didn't hear clearly, and asked, "With whom?"

Wu Zhu ignored Zhang Hao's laughter and said, "Wang Qinian."

Fan Xian was also a little bit dumbfounded, and said, "Uncle, I feel that you are not only a little mysterious, why are you thinking so jumpy lately?"

Wu Zhu wanted to ask something, Fan Xian quickly said, "I don't think the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests has anything to do with Wang Qinian."

Afterwards, Fan Xian explained his plan. After tomorrow's banquet, the defense of the palace will inevitably be relaxed.

At that time, the plan will remain the same, Wu Zhu will be in charge of leading Hong Sixiang away, Zhang Hao will be in charge of watching Emperor Qing, and Fan Xian will go into the Empress Dowager's bedroom to get the key.

After everything was done, Fan Xian asked someone to re-engrav a key and put it back in the Empress Dowager's bedroom, and everything was settled.

Afterwards, Wu Zhu told Fan Xian where the key was placed. Fan Xian was a little curious that Wu Zhu knew so many secrets in the palace, so he asked his doubts.

Wu Zhu then said what Ye Qingmei said back then.

"The old lady has been widowed for many years and looks serious. I don't know if she will hide some love letters in private."

Hearing this, Fan Xian looked at Wu Zhu dumbfounded, but he didn't delve into why Ye Qingmei could easily enter the Queen Mother's bedroom.

Afterwards, Zhang Hao and the three talked about some details, while they were discussing.

Wu Zhu suddenly said: "Someone is here."

Zhang Hao said casually, "It's Wang Qinian!"

Fan Xian heard the words and said, "I asked him to come."

Fan Xian stood up, ready to open the door, Wu Zhu left, and Zhang Hao also returned to his room.

Fan Xian walked to the door, opened the courtyard door, and saw Wang Qinian outside.

After Wang Qinian came in, Fan Xian put a silver coin on the table without saying a word.

When Wang Qinian saw the silver on the table, his eyes lit up immediately, and he took it into his arms.

Fan Xian then told Wang Qinian what he was going to do, and Wang Qinian was so frightened that his legs went limp.

Breaking into the palace at night is a business of beheading, Wang Qinian still has a small family, so how dare he agree to put the ingot of silver back on the table.

Said that he did not have the guts to do this.

Fan Xian threatened and intimidated for a while, Wang Qinian finally let go, agreed to Fan Xian's matter, and would meet Fan Xian outside the palace.However, you have to pay extra.

Fan Xian naturally agreed.

At the end, Wang Qinian asked: "Master, why didn't you ask Teng Zijing to do this? Teng Zijing is also from the capital, and he knows quite a few people?"

Fan Xian replied casually: "Although Teng Zijing is from the capital, he certainly doesn't know as many people as you, so I'm sure you're the one to find this matter."

Hearing this, Wang Qinian was a little helpless, the matter had come to an end, since he had already boarded the pirate ship, let's go all the way to the dark.

Immediately, Wang Qinian bid farewell and left.

When the time came to the next day, Wang Qinian had already contacted the locksmith, waiting for Fan Xian to bring the key, everything would be settled.

Time passed quickly, Fan Xian ate [-]% full at home, and then set off for the palace.

So far, everything is going well, and when Fan Xian returns from the palace, the action will begin.

The Fan residence was not far from the palace, Fan Xian saw that it was almost time, so he set off, asked Wang Qinian to wait at the gate of the palace, and Fan Xian entered the palace.

When they walked to the gate of the palace, the imperial guards checked at the gate, and all those who participated in the dinner party were not allowed to carry weapons.

At the entrance, Fan Xian met Xin Qiwu, Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, and the two walked together. After Fan Xian handed over all the weapons and poisons he was carrying at the gate of the palace, he entered the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests.
