Tang Dynasty: The seventh rank of official residence, and you will be given the Ten Thousand People

Chapter 344 Chapter 344 Eradicate the national traitors!
Royal palace, royal garden.

In order to entertain the prince and the left-behind officials, sumptuous delicacies were placed in the garden. The left-behind officials frowned secretly and wondered where Fan Xin was singing.

"King Yan, the current situation in the country is difficult, what do you mean?" Prince Li Ying asked on behalf of all the ministers.

Although I don't take this guy seriously, he must be at least passable in general.

Fan Xin smiled slightly, cupped his hands and replied: "Returning to Your Majesty, the state affairs are complicated and time-consuming. I thought that I would like to entertain everyone while His Majesty is away."

"Ah, so that's it." Li Ying breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his face again: "In that case, dear friends, please sit down and have a banquet. Don't let down King Yan's wishes."

"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness the King of Yan!" The ministers bowed and walked to the table and sat down one after another.

The banquet was very sumptuous. There were hundreds of dishes on the table, and everyone who ate nodded their heads.

While they were drinking wine, Fan Xin stood up drunkenly, holding the wine glass, and smiled at everyone.

"Some time ago, there were rumors that I and His Majesty had broken up. Hundreds of thousands of troops were marching towards Luoyang, which scared the emperor and fled to Chang'an overnight. Everyone, do you believe it?"

With these words, the noisy atmosphere suddenly condensed, and the smiles on all the ministers' faces disappeared.

This matter is not a question of belief or not, but a fact. Who doesn't know that King Yan's army is fighting with the official army? Otherwise, how could the emperor who was in charge of the world abandon the Eastern Capital and go to Chang'an.

Of course I know, but I must not say it out loud. If Fan Xin is angered, no one can be sure whether he will lose his life.

When no one spoke, Li Ying, an ally, coughed.

"The rumors in the world are all rumors. If you say that King Yan, who was loyal to the emperor and served the country, rebelled, he would not believe it even if he died."

Fan Xin cupped his hands gratefully: "Thank you for your understanding, Your Highness. Xiao Wang is very grateful. I would like to propose a toast to you."

After drinking the wine in the glass, Fan Xin walked down the steps with the wine glass in his hand and came to toast the ministers one by one.

Just as the atmosphere was getting heated, unexpectedly, a guard suddenly pulled out a knife and rushed towards Fan Xin, shouting.

"You treacherous minister who has brought trouble to the country and the people, give me your life!"

As soon as he finished speaking, amid the exclamations of the ministers, a knife was stabbed into Fan Xin's abdomen, and a stream of blood spurted out due to excessive force.

"No, protect the prince!" Qian Niuwei, who came to his senses, immediately pulled out his knife and rushed towards the assassin.

Soon the scene fell into chaos, with the assassins laughing wildly and the guards shouting angrily.

After a fight, the assassin was eventually captured and defeated, while Fan Xin closed his eyes tightly and was carried away, clutching his abdomen.

It wasn't until the palace door closed heavily that the Imperial Garden fell into silence again.

All the ministers, look at me. I can see you clenching your fists and showing excitement in your eyes.

Very good! They never dreamed that there would be such a chivalrous and courageous warrior among the guards, who eradicated national traitors for the Tang Dynasty.

This scene was so inspiring. If they were not in a land of tigers and wolves, they would have toasted to celebrate.

After about half an hour, the palace door opened, and Liuzi sent the two old doctors out of the door. He sighed when he found that everyone was still waiting.

"Everyone, I'm sorry. The prince is seriously injured and needs to stay in bed for a few months. You should go back first. If you have any questions, just ask His Highness the Crown Prince."

"In this case, I won't go in to visit. I will go to deal with state affairs first. You can stay here and take good care of Fan Aiqing."

Li Ying shook her head with regret and led the people away. The other ministers nodded and followed.

When everyone was gone, Fan Xin, who was lying on the bed, sat up, took off his python suit, put on his common clothes, jumped out of the back window and quietly left the palace.

After leaving Yingtian Gate, Fan Xin and Liu Zi came to the street. At this moment, they were both dressed in common clothes, and there was no trace of wealth on their bodies.

"Master, according to the information provided by Fan Chengcheng, there is a bad guy's stronghold in Sanyuan Town, the nearest town in Luoyang."

"We can go to the main altar in Chang'an through them."

"Okay, let's hire a carriage and let's go to Sanyuan Town."

Fan Xin raised his head and glanced at the end of the street, lifted his baggage, and the two of them rushed to Sanyuan Town in a carriage.

Along the way, when the carriage drove into Sanyuan Town, the night was already dark, and there was only one hotel on the street called Humen Inn that was not closed.

Seeing two customers coming, the shop assistant threw the towel over his shoulder and said with a smile.

"Two distinguished guests, what would you like to eat? We have braised noodles, braised noodles and Yangchun noodles."

"Can you give us two bowls of vegetarian noodle soup?" Liuzi said after looking at the surrounding environment.

"Okay, you two sit down for a while, and I will go make some noodles for you."

Looking at the back of the store clerk, Fan Xin said in surprise.

"I think this store has everything, why do you only want two bowls of some noodles?"

Liuzi glanced at the guests around him and whispered: "Master, you don't know something. This is a black shop. If you don't believe me, just look at the table."

Following Liu Zi's eyes, Fan Xin lowered his head and glanced at the table, and sure enough he found that it was covered with old knife marks.

While I admired Liuzi in my heart, I was secretly surprised that I actually entered a black shop.

"Master, if it's just a black shop, it wouldn't be a big deal. I suspect there is an informant here."

"If we don't even understand the rules of a black shop, the other party will definitely not believe that we are bad people."

Fan Xin nodded in agreement, glanced at the diners who seemed to be eating from the corner of his eye, and finally noticed something was wrong with them.

Are people who dare to enjoy food slowly in a dark shop an ordinary person?
While talking, the shop assistant walked to the table with two bowls of vegetarian noodles and said with a smile.

"Two distinguished guests, your plain noodles are ready. Please take your chopsticks and use them slowly."

"No need, we don't want to trouble others when we go out. We brought our own chopsticks." After saying that, Liuzi took out two pairs of chopsticks from the bag and handed one pair to Fan Xin.

Seeing this scene, the store clerk was stunned and said with a smile.

"That's alright, you two eat slowly while I go greet the other guests."

They were said to be two bowls of plain noodles, but they were actually noodles soaked in boiled water. The taste was bland, not to mention undercooked, but Fan Xin and the other two ate them with gusto.

Because only in this way is it consistent with the despicable status of a bad person.

Sure enough, after looking at the two of them, the diners stopped looking this way.

After throwing two copper coins to the store clerk, Fan Xin and Liu Zi went to the room on the left hand side of the second floor and hung a fan at the door before entering.

"Liuzi, do you think bad guys will contact us after seeing this signal?" Fan Xin stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the merchants coming and going in the yard.

"Master, we are using Fan Chengcheng's contact code. The other party will definitely contact us."

"Let's just wait patiently overnight. We'll probably have news within a day or two."

In fact, the bad guys were faster than Fan Xin imagined, and there was a knock on the door that night.

"Sir, there is not enough firewood in the stove pit. Can you change to an inn?"

Fan Xin glanced at Liu Zi, who nodded knowingly, pulled out the broken blade and walked towards the door of the room, whispering through the oil paper window.

"When you run out of firewood, you can burn wooden boards, so why bother visiting the East and the West?"

There was a little silence outside the door, and he responded with a smile: "What the guest said is true. The villain will go back and report to the shopkeeper first." After saying that, the figure disappeared outside the door.

"Master, the outpost of the bad guys has left. Let's get ready. People will be here soon." "Okay, let's act according to the situation." Fan Xin put on his Confucian clothes and sat on the chair.

After about half a stick of incense, dense footsteps came from the corridor, and then the door opened, and two men dressed as coachmen walked into the room. Their dark eyes looked at Liu Zi, and finally fell on Fan Xin.

"Are you the person in charge of the Luoyang stronghold? Don't you know that without permission from above, each stronghold is not allowed to meet in private?"

"How presumptuous! My envoy is the master of a stronghold. How can you, a little person, question it?" Liuzi snorted angrily and took a step forward.

Instructing the six sons to calm down, Fan Xin opened the fan with a snap and said calmly.

"As the person in charge of Luoyang, Fan naturally knows the rules. However, the stronghold was discovered by King Yan's subordinates a few days ago. After several fights, he managed to escape with his life and came to your place to seek asylum."

"Could it be that you Sanyuan bad guys want to die without saving you?"

The two coachmen looked at each other with hesitation on their faces.

The bad guys usually don't belong to each other. They only meet briefly when they start to act. This is the first time they have met in this situation.

After a long time, one of the coachmen's expression softened a bit, and he held his hand in front of Fan Xin.

"Don't blame me, Yinshi. My Lord Chenshi said that the world is not peaceful recently, and the treacherous minister Fan Xin intends to rebel, so everyone below should be careful."

"Since your stronghold has been destroyed, please come with us to see Master Chenshi." He said with a gesture of invitation.

"Thank you, two brothers, for leading the way!" Fan Xin nodded, flicked his sleeves and followed the two of them out of the inn, got on the carriage and drove north to Sanyuan Town.

When they arrived at a brothel, the carriage slowly stopped and the driver hugged his fist.

"Please wait a moment, Sir Yinshi, while I go in and inform you."

Looking at the backs of the two coachmen, Fan Xin frowned slightly.

Dare to set up a stronghold in a brothel, I have to say that the bad guy is really bold.

You must know that although the brothel is a crowded place, which is conducive to inquiring about information, it is also the place where the government pays the most attention.

To be able to secretly develop here for many years without being discovered is that the bad guys are really good at it.

"Liuzi, this place is a stronghold of bad guys, and there must be many masters inside. Are you sure you can escape unscathed?"

Liu Zi smiled and brushed the dust on his sleeves nonchalantly.

"The young master is joking. It may be difficult for the Sixth Son to destroy this place, but if I protect you, no one can stop me!"

"Okay, today we will take a look at what kind of existence this bad person is."

As the two watched, the coachman who went to report came out of the brothel door.

"Lord Yinshi, my master is waiting for you inside, please!"

"Xiao Liu, let's go!"

Fan Xin flicked his sleeves and strode into the inn. When the door closed, the light inside dimmed instantly.

At the same time, there were more than a dozen hidden arrows accompanying it.

"Master, be careful!" Sensing something was wrong, Liu Zi shouted, jumped into the air on his toes, and flipped the weapon in his hand to block Fan Xin.

Dangdang Dangdang!
The hidden arrows hit the broadsword neatly.

"Humph, you're a trivial person, but you dare to do everything in front of me!"

The moment Liu Zi landed on the ground, he swung his sword and fired dozens of hidden arrows back to where he came from.

There was a muffled sound coming from the hiding place, and the next moment dozens of killers in different costumes jumped down from the air and surrounded the two of them.

One of the turtles with cataracts said coldly.

"Tell us your true identities, otherwise you will never leave the brothel alive today!"

"Say!" All the killers shouted in unison.

Facing the strong pressure from everyone, Fan Xin sneered.

"A few killers dare to act arrogantly in front of me. Do you want to betray the bad handsome man?"

Although the scene seems dangerous, Fan Xin believes that this is a test by a bad person. When people encounter danger, they will instinctively make the most realistic reaction.

If he runs away or begs for mercy at this time, then he is really passive.

Sure enough, after hearing his words, the white-eyed turtle was startled for a moment, and then he slammed the crutch in his hand to the ground.

"Since you are about to die and still want to hide your identity, then don't blame me for being rude. Come on, kill them!"

"Yes!"

The bad guy responded, raised the scimitar in his hand and quickly ran towards Fan Xin and the other two.

Just when Liuzi was holding the sword tightly and Fan Xin was about to take out the fire weapon, a loud laugh came from outside the door.

"Hahaha, you are worthy of being the envoy in charge of Luoyang. I really admire your calmness."

As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man wearing a hat walked into the brothel. He looked like the coachman who had led the way earlier.

Seeing this person coming in, all the bad guys, including the White-Eyed Turtle, knelt on the ground.

"I see you, Lord Chenshi."

"Everyone, get up."

After his subordinates got up, the coachman looked at Fan Xin with a smile on his lips.

"I, Xu Zhendong, the person in charge of the bad guys in Sanyuan Town, I have offended you a lot just now, I hope Yin Shi will not take offense."

Fan Xin snorted and pretended to be displeased.

"I am also one of the Twelve Hours Envoys. Isn't Brother Xu going too far?"

Seeing Fan Xin getting angry, Xu Zhendong smiled bitterly.

"Don't be upset, envoy Yin. News came from the general altar that your Luoyang stronghold was uprooted by the traitor King Yan and all of them were arrested. Xu had no choice but to be just in case."

Seeing that Xu Zhendong apologized, Fan Xin's face looked much better.

"Brother Xu, forgive me. Yin Moumou has just suffered a heavy blow and is inevitably a little irritable. I hope you will forgive me for any offence."

"No matter where you are, you and I belong to the same religion. We should support each other and fight against the traitor Fan Xin together."

Xu Zhendong laughed, took Fan Xin's shoulders cordially and walked towards the second floor.

"Come here, prepare a table of good wine and food. I want to welcome Brother Yin."

Not long after the two sat down, the enchanting purple maid brought several pots of meat and a jar of wine.

Xu Zhendong opened the mud seal and poured a bowl of wine for Fan Xin, then filled it for himself, and finally raised his wrist.

"Come on, brother Yin, after drinking this glass of wine, I will take you to see the big scene!"
