Chapter 118 There is a noble man in your village!
After the missionary guards left Luoyang, Xue Huaiyi put on his tall horse and went to Princess Taiping's carriage and knocked on the carriage.

"Your Highness, the young monk saw that you looked haggard and ordered someone to order some fine wine and food at Fanlou. Are you willing to try it?"

The curtain opened, revealing Princess Taiping's delicate face.

"Thank you, Master Xue. You'd better eat it by yourself. I can't eat anything."

"That's it..." Xue Huaiyi rolled his eyes and suddenly pointed at a guard and shouted.

"You guys ride horses to the farmer's house ahead to catch two old hens to make chicken soup for His Highness, do you hear me?"

"Yes!" Several guards clasped their fists and rode away.

Seeing that Xue Huaiyi cared so much for her, Princess Taiping was moved and expressed her gratitude.

"I feel really sorry for bothering Master Xue to purchase meals."

"Hahaha, Your Highness has given me the reward. A few meals are nothing."

"As long as you want to eat it, the little monk flying in the sky and swimming in the water can get it for you." Xue Huaiyi pretended to be heroic.

Originally there was no need for him to be so courteous to Princess Taiping as he was the face-to-face.

But since he learned that Xue Shao died in prison, he felt that his chance had come.

If he can conquer Princess Taiping and let both mother and daughter take it all, will he still worry about glory and wealth for the rest of his life?
So as soon as he left Luoyang, he launched an offensive, hoping to use his advantage to capture Princess Taiping, the richest young princess, in one fell swoop.

I have to say that Xue Huaiyi's trick really worked. Xue Shao had just died, and Princess Taiping was going to Youzhou alone, so she felt lonely.

I was immediately attracted by his concern, so I made an exception and did not refuse.

Seeing this, Xue Huaiyi waved his hand: "Come here, lay a layer of soft fur on Her Royal Highness's carriage, and slow down the speed by [-]%!"

"Isn't this bad? The queen mother ordered us to rush to Xiaolianzi Village in Youzhou as soon as possible to convey the decree. If we delay the trip, we may be angry." Princess Taiping hesitated.

"Your Highness, you are worrying too much. Fan Xin is just a mere person and is not an important person. The delay of a few days on the road is nothing."

Xue Huaiyi waved his hands indifferently, with a trace of contempt in his eyes.

He was just an official who had made a few small achievements by luck, but he was really treated like a piece of cake.

Princess Taiping thought about it, but Fan Xin said that Potian was only a fourth-grade official, inferior to even Xue Huaiyi in terms of identity and status.

There was really no need for him to be in such a hurry, so he agreed.

"Forget it, let's set up camp first and then set off for Youzhou tomorrow..."

As the team slowly marched towards Youzhou, the Fan family had just had lunch.

"Xin'er, your sister and I won't be taking you to the county office soon. We have to go to the market." Fan Zhonghua put down his chopsticks and said.

Fan Xin knew that his father was going to sell coffins, so he nodded without saying anything.

"Okay, when you get to the county, you go about your business and don't worry about me."

After the three of them put on their cotton-padded clothes, they opened the door and came to the yard to go to Changping County.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the courtyard door was opened, a market suddenly appeared in the village.

Hundreds of vendors wearing dog-skin hats put their hands in their sleeves and shouted.

Around the stall, dozens of honest villagers were gathering together and talking quietly.

Seeing Fan Zhonghua's family coming over, he waved and said.

"Erwa's father, do you think it's strange that there is an extra market in our poor valley?"

"The crowd is bigger than any other gathering in the county. What's going on?"

Fan Zhonghua was also confused. This was the first time in his old age that he had seen someone open the market into the ravine.

"You guys just wait, I'll go over and check out the situation." He thought it would be better to go over and ask.

With everyone watching, Fan Zhonghua took Fan Xin to a stall where wood was collected and politely held his hands.

"I dare to ask my little brother, why don't you go to the county and instead hold the market in Xiaolianzi Village?" The vendor, a young man in his twenties, smiled respectfully after hearing this.

"To be honest, brother, the reason why we came to Xiaolianzi Village to set up a stall is because the fortune teller said that a great nobleman was born here, and everyone came here because they wanted to feel happy."

"My lord?"

Fan Zhonghua and others were all stunned. They had lived in Xiaolianzi Village for decades and had never heard of any noble people.

Could it be County Lieutenant Tan Yue?
Thinking of this, Muramasa probed: "The second baby's father, shouldn't he be the one from your family?"

"We heard that he saved nine lives in Dawang Village with just one word."

"Yes, the most promising person in our ten miles and eight villages is your family."

"The noble man must be sure that he can't be wrong!"

Seeing that everyone agreed that he was his son-in-law, Fan Zhonghua smiled bitterly.

He didn't expect that the noble man would be that snobbish Tan Yue.
"Little brother, is the nobleman the fortune teller said belongs to our family?" Fan Zhonghua asked again.

The vendor glanced at Fan Xin vaguely and nodded with a smile.

"Of course it's your family. The fortune teller said that this noble man will shake the entire Tang Dynasty in the future and become a prominent figure who holds great power in the world."

"That's why we come to this precious land to feel noble."

As soon as this statement came out, all the villagers in Xiaolianzi Village, including Fan Zhonghua, were shocked.

They never dreamed that Tan Yue would have such good fortune.

It was previously thought that Tan Yue was at most the height of a seventh-grade county magistrate.

As a result, I never expected that he would be the most powerful person in the world!
"Er baby's father, your family is going to be prosperous." Muramasa said tremblingly.

"Yes, no wonder even the county magistrate has to give face. Guangqing must have been convinced internally."

As he said that, everyone looked at Fan Xin and hated the iron.

"Er baby, everyone is talking about you, look at Tan Yue, and then look at yourself."

"A good seventh-grade county magistrate forced the court to masturbate. How did you do it all these years?"

"Forget it, let's quickly grab some things and go to the county to visit Lieutenant Tan. It's too late and we won't be able to get in."

Looking at the backs of everyone, Fan Xin smiled slightly and said to Fan Zhonghua.

"Dad, you can sell it here, and I'll report it to the county government myself."

"Then be careful on the road and don't take everyone's words seriously." Fan Zhonghua said worriedly.

"It's okay, the kid doesn't take it to heart at all."

After saying hello to the two of them, Fan Xin got on the carriage and headed for Changping County.

On the way, the coachman took off his hat and clasped his fists and said, "I'll see Fan Shaoqing at Niulan Mountain."

The cold wind blew through the sleeves, revealing a plum blossom tattoo.

Fan Xin glanced at the tattoo and frowned: "Are you the Plum Blossom Guards?"

"Young Master, don't worry too much. The Queen Mother is afraid that someone might do something bad to you, so she sent low-ranking officials to secretly protect you."

"In addition, spies from four yamen have been stationed around your home, and two sergeants from the guards will follow to ensure that the assassins cannot even touch your hair."

While he was talking, the carriage stopped at the gate of Changping County Yamen, Fan Xin jumped out of the carriage and said calmly.

"Be sure not to reveal your identity until the imperial guards arrive."

"So as not to alert the Youzhou officials!" After saying this, he walked into the county government gate.
