"Master Fan, these people are from the Northern Qi Jinyi Guards." Wang Qinian whispered, "The Northern Qi Jinyi Guards are the most secretive and dangerous organization in the Northern Qi Dynasty, and their functions are similar to our Inspection Institute. Over the years, we have fought against each other many times overtly and covertly.

Their hands have long been stained with the other party's blood, and with their attitude now, I'm afraid they are coming from bad intentions."

"It's okay, it's just a show of force." Fan Xian frowned and said, "Go and call the door and ask them to send someone to greet the delegation."

Wang Qinian responded and stepped forward. Seeing that no one was leaving him, including the Jinyi guards and the garrison at the top of the city, he said loudly: "The Qing Dynasty envoy is here to deliver the prisoners of war. Who is the leader? Please answer quickly!"

The Jin Yiwei beside him glanced sideways at him with disdain on his face.

Wang Qinian knew that his trip represented the face of the Qing Dynasty, so he frowned slightly and said impatiently, "If you don't respond, we will leave!"

After another long while, a low groan came from a carriage parked at the corner of the pass. A middle-aged man in exquisite and luxurious clothes turned over from the back carriage and sat up. He stretched out greatly, as if he had just noticed what was outside the pass.

Like a convoy, they were sorting their clothes and walking towards them.

"It's funny, it's funny."

He touched his beard with some embarrassment and said with an apologetic smile, "May I ask who is the Immortal Poet of the Southern Dynasty? Mr. Fan Xianfan?"

Wang Qinian looked at this man's submissive look, and couldn't help but have a flash of contempt in his eyes. He took half a step forward and said impatiently: "This is our Daqing envoy Fan Xian, Lord Fan."

"Fan Shixian, I have heard about the famous name for a long time and admired him so much. When I saw him today, he really showed his talent..."

Fan Xian looked curious. The man in front of him was not wearing official uniform. With his private clothes and obedient appearance, he really didn't recognize the other person's identity.

"Who is your Excellency?"

"Oh, by the way, I forgot to introduce you. I am Zhen Zhen, Tian is the envoy of Jinyi Guard Town. Master Fan can just call you by his first name." Zhan Zhan suddenly said with a slap on his forehead. After he finished speaking, he hesitated and glanced at the envoy tentatively.

The prison car at the rear said carefully: "Now that the envoy has arrived, what do you think...?"

Fan Xian turned around and said, "Wang Qinian, go prepare the handover matters."

"Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Fan." Zhong Zhong also motioned to Hu Quan, a close confidant beside him, to retrieve the documents.

Glancing left and right, Fan Xian noticed that his heavy eyes were wandering from side to side. He looked sideways at the delegation's motorcade and smiled: "Master Shen, are you looking for someone?"

"Oh, I'm sorry." Shen Zhan came to his senses and said with a smile, "I heard that Zhou Ji, the sword coffin, is also in the mission. I wonder which hero he is?"

Sword coffin......

Fan Xian once again lamented how appropriate this gangster account was, how earthy and cool he was, and couldn't help but laugh: "He's delayed because of something, and it will take a few days to catch up. Lord Shen is very interested in him?"

"I have long heard that there is a ninth-grade master in Nanqing. He first provoked Xie Bi'an, and then frightened Yan Xiaoyi away. Not only do I admire such a young talent, but even I, the knight-errant swordsman of Northern Qi, are eagerly waiting for me in Beijing.

, I look forward to discussing things with you.”

With a heavy smile on his face, he took the official seal from Hu Quan, exchanged documents with Fan Xian, and stamped the seal.

Looking at Xiao Xiao who was brought out of the prison car, he said with a heavy smile: "Master Fan, then Mr. Xiao will be escorted by us."

"That's natural."

Fan Xian stepped aside and allowed Shen Zhong to kick Sean's leg bone and drag him to Fan Xian like a beast. He said with a smile: "Master Fan, this is a joke."

Wang Qinian's face changed slightly. Looking at the smile that had never disappeared on Zhong's face, he felt the hair on his back stand up, and a trace of fear flashed subconsciously in his eyes.

What a smiling tiger.

Fan Xian frowned slightly and looked at a fine steel cage that Jin Yiwei had brought from the soldiers, reshaping his understanding of the man in front of him.

As if aware of Fan Xian's gaze, Zhen Zhen turned around and nodded slightly, responded with a warm smile, turned back to the carriage, and summoned a few close aides.

"You guys will return to the capital immediately, transfer Yan Bingyun from Jinyiwei Prison to another place, and at the same time investigate whether there is anything unusual in Beijing these days, especially the news about the Nanqing spy network. Then notify sentries throughout the city to be on guard. "

"Yes, sir."

Hu Quan looked at the heavy eyes and said hesitantly: "Sir, there are still more than ten days before the mission returns to Beijing. Why are you so anxious?"

"Idiot!" Zhong Zhan's face no longer smiled, "Did you know that there is one less person in the mission?"

"Isn't it just Jian Coffin Zhou Ji?" Hu Quan asked in confusion, "What happened to him?"

"Where do you think he can go?" He looked towards the north heavily and faintly. The night was deep and the bright moon was shrouded in the mist, making it hazy and gloomy.

"Go to Beijing!"

Hu Quan scratched his head and thought for a long time, then finally slapped his thigh and said urgently: "My lord, you are saying that he went to Beijing to find Yan Bingyun!"

He frowned slightly, his eyes became more solemn, and he looked at Hu Quandao: "We have not been able to pry Yan Bingyun's mouth open for a long time. We must not hand him over so easily. At least we have fully grasped the information about the Nanqing spy network. Nothing could happen to him before!"

Hu Quan knew that the matter was urgent, so he hurriedly asked a few people to leave together. While the two countries' missions were still handing over supplies, they left the pass and rushed towards the capital.

.......

Fan Xian didn't know about Shen Zhong's behavior. Even if he knew, he would pretend not to know and wait until the night was quiet before laughing under the covers.

After entering the territory of Northern Qi, all the safety of the mission was handed over to the Northern Qi Jinyi Guards and the troops along the way. In addition, Xiao En handed over the mission to the heavy hand. It can be said that Fan Xian felt relieved.

Fan Xian is not worried at all about Zhou Ji's safety.

As for why Yan Xiaoyi hadn't come back after killing him, he had already vaguely guessed it, but because of his identity, he couldn't think too much about it.

A few days passed by in a blink of an eye.

The news of Yan Xiaoyi's death finally reached the mission, and it was Henan who got the news earlier than everyone else in the mission.

Even through some special channels, he heard about another incident that Nan Qing Chaotang deliberately suppressed much earlier than Fan Xian.

The eldest princess died in Xinyang County.

Since the information had been blocked by the Inspection and Quarantine Bureau at the first opportunity, Shen Shen could only determine the authenticity of the matter through this airtight confidentiality method and the intelligence network over the years.

Although the specific cause of death is unknown, according to a hidden clue buried in the princess mansion for many years, it is known that the eighth-grade maid next to Li Yunrui died in an extremely tragic manner, which is somewhat similar to the remains of Yan Xiaoyi.

The more I knew, the more frightened I became.

He wanted to be a powerful minister, wearing a python robe, one person was inferior to ten thousand people.

But he never thought of betraying the royal family or Qi State.

At least without the Queen Mother's permission, he would never dare to slaughter the royal family so unscrupulously.

"Is it possible that...Zhou Ji is a member of Emperor Qing?"
