Chapter 1263 Entering Beijing

Chapter 1263 Entering Beijing
After the crisis in the Fan Mansion was resolved, Fan Xian began to think about going to Kyoto.

Old Lady Fan told Fan Xian that the assassination was because Fan Jian, who was in Kyoto, had arranged a marriage for him with Lin Wan'er, the illegitimate daughter of Li Yunrui, the eldest princess of the Qing Kingdom.

Fan Xian was against this marriage. After all, he thought in a modern way and scoffed at the idea of ​​"parents' orders and matchmaker's words".

Old Mrs. Fan was very reluctant to let Fan Xian leave Danzhou, but she also knew that Fan Xian had to leave because this was his fate as Ye Qingmei's son.

The arrival of Tiger Guard Fan Qing also made Old Lady Fan realize Fan Jian's attitude towards Fan Xian's visit to Beijing.

After the date for Fan Xian to return to Beijing was set, Old Lady Fan personally packed his luggage and instructed Fan Qing to protect Fan Xian well.

Teng Zijing later joined Fan Xian's team. He and Fan Xian became acquainted with each other, and he also wanted to investigate who falsely conveyed the order from the Inspection Institute and asked him to come to Danzhou to kill Fan Xian.

In this way, the three of them set off together and got a horse-drawn carriage. Teng Zijing drove the car, and Fan Xian and Fan Qing sat in the car.

As Fan Xian's bodyguard, Fan Qing must protect Fan Xian closely. Plus, he is an eighth-rank archer. With a bow and arrow, he can keep a distance. His strength is comparable to that of a ninth-rank archer, so it is not appropriate for him to drive.

Fan Xian also wanted to learn more about Fan Jian from Fan Qing.

"My father asked you to pick me up and take me to Kyoto. Did he tell you anything?" Fan Xian asked Fan Qing.

"My Lord only asked me to protect the young master to go to the capital, and didn't tell me anything else." Fan Qing said expressionlessly.

"Can't you laugh? Why do you have a stern face all the time, as if you have no emotions?" Fan Xian leaned against the carriage and asked lazily.

"Tiger guards don't need emotions, they just need to obey orders." Fan Qing said.

The word "death squad" instantly appeared in Fan Xian's mind.

"Your name is Fan Qing. Are you also a member of the Fan family?" Fan Xian asked.

"I have been an orphan since I was young. I was adopted by an adult, received Tiger Guard training, and was given the surname Fan." Fan Qing said.

"So what was your last name?" Fan Xian asked curiously.

"I don't know." Fan Qing said expressionlessly.

Fan Xian wanted to ask more, but Fan Qing closed his eyes, touched his bow and arrow, and whispered: "Someone is following us? He is fifty steps away from the carriage. Should we take action?"

Fan Xian hurriedly said: "No, that's the person my grandma sent to protect me."

In fact, the person following behind the carriage was Wu Zhu. His mission was to protect Fan Xian, but because of his special identity, he could only follow from a distance behind the carriage.

Wu Zhu was faster than a galloping horse. Although he would not be lost, he could not hide his body and was noticed by Fan Qing.

"Do we need to stop and pick him up?" Fan Qing asked.

"No need, just let him follow behind." Fan Xian shook his head.

Fan Qing put down his bow and arrow, but did not let down his guard.

Fan Xian thought that his journey would not be peaceful, but unexpectedly it was smooth sailing and he arrived outside Kyoto in just a few days.

Teng Zijing suddenly stopped the carriage, and Fan Qing grabbed the bow and arrow and flew to stand on the top of the carriage.

"What's wrong?" Fan Xian rubbed his eyes and all his sleepiness disappeared.

"There is a large group of people approaching, I don't know if they are friend or foe."

Fan Xian asked in surprise: "The assassin is coming?"

Fan Qing said: "The other party's movement speed was not fast, and he looked like a passerby who just happened to run into us."

"Since he's not an assassin, there's no need to be so nervous!"

Teng Zijing said: "You are the Commissioner of the Inspection Institute, I have the responsibility to protect you."

"Master, please go back to the carriage first. I will make sure it is safe before you come out." Fan Qing insisted.

"It's up to you!" Fan Xian curled his lips. After all this time, he also understood what kind of person Fan Qing was.

Soon a team appeared in front of them. There were quite a lot of people, more than thirty of them.

There was also a carriage in the team, and the people around it seemed to be guards.

"Hey! It's someone from the Inspection Institute. I'll go take a look." Teng Zijing spotted someone he knew, told Fan Xian and ran over. Fan Qing never put down his bow and arrow.

After Teng Zijing went to communicate for a while, he quickly ran back.

"This is the Inspection Bureau's team heading to Northern Qi. We just happened to run into them and are in some trouble now."

Fan Xian lifted the curtain and asked, "What's wrong?"

"They are heading to Northern Qi secretly, and their whereabouts cannot be known to anyone. According to the rules of the Inspection Bureau, anyone they meet must be killed to silence them."

Fan Qing immediately bent his bow and drew his arrow, aiming it at the carriage opposite.

"Master Qing, please don't make a move." Teng Zijing said quickly: "I have already communicated with the other side. As long as Master Fan shows the Secretary's badge, this matter will be over."

The Commissioner of Inspection is independent of other departments of the Commissioner of Inspection, and his power is only under that of the Commissioner. Chen Pingping asked Fei Jie to give the Commissioner's badge to Fan Xian in order to save some trouble.

Fan Xian took out his badge and asked, "Are these people spies sent to Northern Qi by the Inspection Bureau?"

Teng Zijing took the badge and said, "Not all of them. Some of them are going to the grasslands, and those heading north will be divided into two groups."

"Grassland?" Fan Xian asked curiously, "Are the Western Hu causing trouble again?"

Teng Zijing said with a strange expression: "Three days ago, the three major forces on the grassland, Xihu, Zuozhang Wangting, and Youzhang Wangting, united with thirty-six tribes and jointly announced the establishment of an alliance.

From then on, there were no more tribes on the grassland, only one country - Yuan Meng. "

Upon hearing this, Fan Xian took a deep breath and blurted out: "Mongolia, Genghis Khan."

"What Sihan?" Teng Zijing asked puzzledly.

"Nothing." Fan Xian's eyes flickered as he said, "I just remembered an ancient person."

Teng Zijing said with a serious expression: "After the grassland was unified, it had a great impact on the Qing Kingdom. When His Majesty heard the news, he scolded all the civil and military officials in the court and urgently summoned Dean Chen back to the capital."

Fan Xian asked: "Who unified the grassland?"

"I don't know." Teng Zijing shook his head.

"Don't know?!" Fan Xian exclaimed, "Isn't the duty of the Inspection Bureau to monitor the world? How could there be no news about such a big event as the founding of the grassland nation?"

"That's why His Majesty is so angry." Teng Zijing said seriously, "Now many ministers in the court have impeached President Chen Pingping for dereliction of duty! The Inspection Institute is under great pressure, so it has to send people into the grassland to investigate the news."

Fan Qing said at this time: "I heard that the Third Division of the Inspection Institute, which was in charge, went deep into the grassland for four years and there is no news. Who dares to go there now?"

Fan Xian was stunned and asked in surprise: "Isn't the head of the Third Department my teacher?"

Teng Zijing was horrified. Chen Pingping had given a strict order that Fei Jie's disappearance must be kept secret from Fan Xian.

"Teng Zijing, what's going on with my teacher?" Fan Xian questioned Teng Zijing.

Teng Zijing looked at Fan Qing with resentment, blaming him for speaking too quickly.

Seeing that the matter could no longer be concealed, Teng Zijing had no choice but to tell Fan Xian about Fei Jie's disappearance.

"We will enter the capital soon. I want to go to the Inspection Institute." Fan Xian said excitedly.

"Master Fan, the dean has already sent someone to the grassland. I believe there will be news about Mr. Fei soon."

"The person has been missing for four years, and you just told me now." Fan Xian felt a little resentful towards Chen Pingping, a person he had never met before.

Fan Qing said calmly: "Master, let's go to the capital quickly. If the court situation changes, your Excellency may also be affected."

Fan Xian nodded, ignored Teng Zijing, and drove his carriage to Kyoto.

Teng Zijing had no choice but to take his badge to negotiate with the Inspection Institute before catching up with Fan Xian.

Fan Xian drove to the west gate of Kyoto, but was stopped by the gatekeeper and asked to be questioned before he entered the city.

Fan Qing took out the pass prepared by Fan Jian and handed it to the gatekeeper. Fan Xian sat in the front of the carriage, motionless, but he suddenly saw a big wolf not far away, which looked very similar to the big wolf beside Wang Gang.

"Brother Gang." Fan Xian jumped off the carriage and ran towards the big wolf.

The gatekeeper thought Fan Xian was going to run away, so he shouted, "Stop."

Fan Xian saw a man standing next to the big wolf and thought it was Wang Gang, so he shouted happily: "Brother Gang!"

The man turned around, revealing a face that looked to be in his thirties.

Fan Xian stood there in a daze, and looked at the man's right arm again.

"Is this young master calling me?" The man said to Fan Xian with a fist.

"You are not Brother Gang." Fan Xian discovered that the man was not only much younger than Wang Gang, but his right arm was also intact.

"My name is Wang Han. Sir, you have recognized the wrong person." The man said with a smile.

Fan Xian pointed at the big wolf beside the man and asked, "Where did you get this wolf?"

Wang Han was surprised and said, "This is my dog ​​Da Zhuang, not a wolf."

Fan Xian was stunned and couldn't help but look at the big wolf twice, only then he realized that it was a dog and not a wolf.

"Sorry, I got the wrong person."

At this time, the gatekeeper ran over and scolded him: "How dare you run away during the city gate inspection? I think you are a Northern Qi student!"

Just as Fan Xian was about to explain, Wang Han smiled and said, "Lord Fang, you misunderstood. This is my friend."

"It turns out to be Manager Wang." The gatekeeper seemed to be familiar with Wang Han and his expression looked much better.

Wang Han calmly took out a silver note and stuffed it into the gatekeeper's sleeve.
