After the crisis in Fan Mansion was resolved, Fan Xian started thinking about going to Kyoto.
Mrs. Fan told Fan Xian that the assassination was because Fan Jian arranged a marriage for him in Kyoto, and the other party was Lin Wan'er, the illegitimate daughter of Qing's eldest princess Li Yunrui.
Fan Xian was opposed to this marriage. After all, he was a modern thinker and scorned the idea of "parents ordering matchmakers".
Mrs. Fan was very reluctant to let Fan Xian leave Danzhou, but she also knew that Fan Xian had to leave. This was his fate as the son of Ye Qingmei.
The arrival of Tiger Guard Fan Qing also made Mrs. Fan aware of Fan Jian's attitude towards Fan Xian's entry into Beijing.
After the date for Fan Xian's return to Beijing was decided, Mrs. Fan personally packed his luggage and told Fan Qing to protect Fan Xian.
Teng Zijing later joined Fan Xian's team. He and Fan Xian were not acquainted with each other before fighting, and he also wanted to investigate who falsely passed on the order from the Inspection Institute to come to Danzhou to kill Fan Xian.
In this way, the three of them hit the road together and got a carriage. Teng Zijing drove the car, while Fan Xian and Fan Qing sat in the car.
As Fan Xian's bodyguard, Fan Qing must protect Fan Xian personally. In addition, he is an eighth-level archer. With a bow and arrow, he can distance himself and his strength is comparable to that of a ninth-level archer. It is not appropriate for him to drive.
Fan Xian also wanted to learn more about Fan Jian from Fan Qing.
"Father asked you to take me to Kyoto, did you tell me anything?" Fan Xian asked Fan Qing.
"My lord only asked me to protect the young master when he went to Beijing, and he didn't tell me anything." Fan Qing said expressionlessly.
"Don't you know how to laugh? Why do you keep a straight face, as if you have no emotions?" Fan Xian leaned against the carriage and asked lazily.
"Tiger guards don't need emotions, tiger guards only need to obey orders." Fan Qing said.
The word "dead soldier" 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 was an orphan since I was a child. I was adopted by adults, trained as a Tiger Guard, and given the surname Fan." Fan Qing said.
"Then what's your original last name?" Fan Xian asked curiously.
"I don't know." Fan Qing said expressionlessly.
Fan Xian wanted to ask again, but Fan Qing closed his eyes, touched the bow and arrow, and whispered: "Is there someone following us? We are fifty steps away from the carriage. Do you want to take action?"
Fan Xian hurriedly said: "No, that's the person grandma sent to protect me."
In fact, the person following the carriage was Wu Zhu. His mission was to protect Fan Xian, but because of his special status, he could only follow the carriage from a distance.
Wuzhu's speed is faster than a galloping horse. Although he will not be lost, he will not hide his body and be noticed by Fan Qing.
"Do I need to stop and pick him up in the car?" Fan Qing asked.
"No, just let him follow behind." Fan Xian shook his head.
Fan Qing put down his bow and arrow, but did not relax his vigilance.
Fan Xian originally thought that his journey would not be peaceful, but he did not expect that it would be calm and he arrived outside Kyoto within a few days.
Teng Zijing suddenly stopped the carriage, and Fan Qing also grabbed his bow and arrow and flew to stand on the top of the carriage.
"What's wrong?" Fan Xian rubbed his eyes, all sleepiness gone.
"A large number of people are approaching. I don't know if they are enemies or friends."
Fan Xian said in surprise: "The assassin is coming?"
Fan Qing said: "The other party didn't move very fast, but he looked like a passerby who happened to bump into us."
"Since you are not an assassin, you don't have to be so nervous!"
Teng Zijing said: "You are the chief inspector of the inspection institute, and I have the responsibility to protect you."
"Master, you go back to the carriage first, and then you come out after I make sure it's safe." Fan Qing insisted.
"Whatever you want!" Fan Xian curled his lips. Along the way, he also understood what kind of character Fan Qing was.
Soon a team appeared in front of them. There were quite a few people, more than thirty people.
There was also a carriage in the procession, and the people around it seemed to be guards.
"Hey! He's from the inspection institute. I'll go take a look." Teng Zijing found an acquaintance and told Fan Xian to run over. Fan Qing never put down his bow and arrow.
After Teng Zijing went to have some exchanges, he came back quickly.
"This is the team from the Inspection and Inspection Institute heading to Northern Qi. We happened to run into it and are now in some trouble."
Fan Xian opened the curtain and asked, "What's wrong?"
"They went to Northern Qi secretly, and their whereabouts cannot be known. According to the rules of the Inspection Institute, anyone they meet must be killed and silenced."
Fan Qing immediately bent his bow and nocked an arrow, pointing directly at the carriage opposite.
"Master Qing, don't take any action." Teng Zijing said quickly: "I have already communicated with the other party. As long as Master Fan shows his Tisi waist card, this matter will be over."
The Board of Directors of the Appraisal Institute is independent of all other departments of the Appraisal Institute, and its power lies only with the president.
Chen Pingping originally asked Fei Jie to give Fan Xian the Tisi waist card just to save some trouble.
Fan Xian took out Tisi's belt and asked, "Are these spies sent to Northern Qi by the Inspection Institute?"
Teng Zijing took the badge and said: "Not entirely, some of them are going to the grassland. When they go north, they divide into two groups."
"Grassland?" Fan Xian asked curiously: "Is Xihu making trouble again?"
Teng Zijing said with a strange expression: "Three days ago, the three major grassland forces, Xihu, Zuozhang Wangting, and Youzhang Wangting, united thirty-six tribes and jointly announced an alliance to establish a country.
From then on, there were no tribes in the grassland, only one country - Yuanmeng."
When Fan Xian heard this, he took a deep breath and blurted out: "Mongolia, Genghis Khan."
"What Sihan?" Teng Zijing asked doubtfully.
"It's nothing." Fan Xian said with twinkling eyes, "I just think of an ancient person."
Teng Zijing said with a serious face: "After the grassland was unified, it had a great influence on the Qing Dynasty. When His Majesty heard the news, he scolded the civil and military officials of the entire court and urgently summoned Dean Chen to return to the capital."
Fan Xian asked: "Who unified the grassland?"
"I don't know." Teng Zijing shook his head.
"I don't know?!" Fan Xian exclaimed strangely: "Isn't the duty of the Inspection and Inspection Institute to monitor the world? How can there be no news about such a big matter as the founding of the grassland?"
"This is also the reason why His Majesty is so angry." Teng Zijing said seriously: "Now many ministers in the DPRK are impeaching Dean Chen Pingping for neglecting his duties! The Inspection and Inspection Institute is under pressure, so it has to send people into the grassland to explore the news."
Fan Qing said at this time: "I heard that the Third Branch of the Inspection and Inspection Institute has gone deep into the grassland for four years and there is no news at all. Who dares to go there now?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Fan Xian was stunned and said in surprise: "Isn't the organizer of the Third Office my teacher?"
Teng Zijing was horrified. Chen Pingping had issued a death order, and Fei Jie's disappearance must be hidden from Fan Xian.
"Teng Zijing, what happened to my teacher?" Fan Xian asked Teng Zijing.
Teng Zijing glanced at Fan Qing full of resentment, blaming him for his quick mouth.
Seeing that the matter could no longer be concealed, Teng Zijing could only tell Fan Xian about Fei Jie's disappearance.
"We're going to Beijing right away. I'm going to the inspection institute." Fan Xian said excitedly.
"Master Fan, the dean has sent people to the grassland. I believe there will be news about Mr. Fei soon."
"I've been missing for four years, and you just told me now." Fan Xian felt a little more resentful towards Chen Pingping, whom he had never met before.
Fan Qing said calmly: "Master, let's enter Beijing quickly. There are changes in the court situation, and you may also be affected."
Fan Xian nodded, ignored Teng Zijing, and drove his carriage to Kyoto.
Teng Zijing had no choice but to use Tisi's badge to negotiate with the inspection agency, and then catch up with Fan Xian.
Fan Xian drove to the west gate of Kyoto. Before he entered the city, he was stopped by the gatekeeper and asked for an interrogation.
Fan Qing took out the general documents prepared by Fan Jian and handed them to the gatekeeper. Fan Xian sat in front of the carriage and did not move, but he suddenly saw a big wolf not far away, which was very similar to the big one beside Wang Gang.
"Brother Gang." Fan Xian jumped off the carriage and ran towards the big wolf.
The gatekeeper thought Fan Xian was about to run away, so he shouted: "Stop."
Fan Xian saw a man standing next to Big Wolf, thought it was Wang Gang, and shouted happily: "Brother Gang!"
The man turned around, revealing a face in his thirties.
Fan Xian stood there blankly and looked at the man's right arm.
"Is this young master calling me?" the man said to Fan Xian, cupping his fists.
"You are not Brother Gang." Fan Xian discovered that not only was the man significantly different in age from Wang Gang, but his right arm was still intact.
"My lord, Wang Han, you have admitted the wrong person." The man said with a smile.
Fan Xian pointed to the big wolf next to the man and asked, "Where did you get this wolf?"
Wang Han said in surprise: "This is my dog Dazhuang, not a wolf."
Fan Xian was stunned and couldn't help but look at the big wolf twice before realizing that it was a dog and not a wolf.
"Sorry, I got the wrong person."
At this time, the gatekeeper ran over and scolded: "How dare you run away from the city gate investigation? I think you are practicing for the Northern Qi Dynasty!"
Fan Xian was about to explain, but Wang Han smiled and said, "Master Fang misunderstood, this is my friend."
"It turns out to be shopkeeper Wang." The gatekeeper seemed to be familiar with Wang Han, and his face looked much better.
Wang Han calmly took out a banknote and stuffed it into the gatekeeper's sleeve.
