Chapter 128: The Mentally Retarded Swordsman
The second prince was happy.
"You're really interesting. You don't even like to hear compliments. Fine, I won't say any more. How about this? Based on your understanding of Fan Xian, will he become my disciple?"
Mei Chengan smiled.
"You might as well ask him directly. Isn't Fan Xian in Prince Jing's mansion? Your Highness, why don't you take this opportunity to get in touch with Fan Xian? With your keen sense of smell, you will know the situation after a conversation."
The second prince nodded.
"Too."
Mei Cheng'an said.
"Your Highness may have to hurry up. Fan Xian has already finished writing his poem, and maybe everyone will leave soon."
The second prince was stunned for a moment, then stood up and patted Mei Chengan on the shoulder.
"Thank you for reminding!"
Mei Cheng'an patted the Second Prince's hand on his shoulder and said nothing.
The second prince looked at Li Roujia and Lin Wan'er who were looking at him in surprise.
"Wan'er, Roujia, I have things to do, so I'll leave first."
Li Roujia and Lin Wan'er were about to stand up to see him off, but the Second Prince quickly waved his hand.
"No, no, you guys take your seats, I'm leaving."
After saying that, he patted Mei Cheng'an on the shoulder again, turned around and left with the copy of Dream of the Red Chamber in his hand.
Li Roujia waited until the Second Prince walked away and then leaned forward.
"Brother Cheng'an, what's the urgent matter, second brother?"
Mei Cheng'an glanced at Lin Wan'er and replied.
"He wants to meet Fan Xian."
Hearing this, Li Roujia and Lin Wan'er looked at each other.
Li Roujia smiled.
"Cousin, don't you want to go and see that Fan Xian?"
Lin Wan'er was not shy this time and shook her head seriously.
Seeing that she was serious, Li Roujia didn't know what to say.
Lin Wan'er thought about it, and realized that the reason she came to Prince Jing's Mansion today was to find an opportunity to talk to Fan Xian about breaking off the engagement. However, after learning that the man in Qing Temple was Fan Xian, it seemed unnecessary to break off the engagement.
There is no rush for the meeting. Fan Xian has a lot of things to do today, and there are many people around in Prince Jing's Mansion. Before, she wanted to cancel the engagement and could ignore it, but now that the engagement is not cancelled, she has to pay attention to the impact. It would be better to ask him to meet privately another day.
As for Fan Xian's anxious search for her, how about sending someone to give him a small note? No, no, that would be too unreserved. Let him worry for two more days.
After thinking about it, Lin Wan'er also stood up.
Li Roujia stood up immediately after seeing this.
"What's wrong, cousin?"
Lin Wan'er looked at her and said.
"I suddenly had the urge to come and see you today. I didn't know that today was the day you were going to meet. I'm sorry for disturbing your date."
Li Roujia showed a reproachful expression.
"What are you talking about, cousin? It doesn't matter if you are disturbing me or not. I am so happy that you are here."
Lin Wan'er grabbed her hand.
"Now that we've met and the disease has been treated, it would be unreasonable to stay and disturb you any longer. I'll go back first."
Mei Cheng'an smiled when he heard that, and stood up calmly, ready to see the guest off at any time.
Li Roujia glanced at him and tried to keep Lin Wan'er.
"I told you not to disturb me, why are you in such a hurry to leave, cousin? I was thinking of teaching you Tai Chi after lunch!"
Lin Wan'er said softly.
"Another day."
Seeing that she was determined to leave, Li Roujia stopped pestering her.
"Then I'll take it to you."
Lin Wan'er shook her head.
"No need. This is not my first time here. I know how to get here. You can stay and talk to Master Mei."
Li Roujia was helpless.
"Then I'll let Xiaotao take you there."
Lin Wan'er didn't refuse this time and nodded.
Mei Cheng'an and Li Roujia stood side by side, watching Lin Wan'er walk away.
Mei Cheng'an sighed.
"Finally they're all gone."
Li Roujia burst out laughing, clenched her fist and gently hit Mei Chengan's arm.
"Brother Cheng'an, please don't be weird. By the way, can my cousin's illness really be cured according to your method?"
Mei Chengan nodded.
"It shouldn't be a big problem."
Li Roujia stood on tiptoes and gave Mei Chengan a kiss.
"Brother Cheng'an is awesome, this is a reward for you."
Mei Chengan curled his lips.
"You're so insincere. Just kiss me on the cheek."
Li Roujia blushed and whispered.
"Brother Cheng'an, stop making trouble!"
Mei Cheng'an stopped there, reached into his bosom, took out the handwritten new chapter of Dream of the Red Chamber, and said with a smile.
"Look what goodies I brought you..."
……
Outside the hospital.
After using the toilet, Fan Xian walked out with a relaxed look on his face. He looked left and right, feeling a little dazed as he saw the roads on both sides looked exactly the same. Which road did he take when he came here?
Forget it, just pick a random path and go ahead. At worst, I can ask for directions if I meet someone.
After thinking about it, Fan Xian selected his soldiers and generals, chose a road, and walked straight ahead.
Fan Xian looked at the increasingly unfamiliar scenery around him and thought to himself that he was unlucky. He had made the wrong choice. The most amazing thing was that he didn't see any servants along the way. Where did everyone go...
Fan Xian had no time to complain at the moment, because he saw two people walking out of a courtyard in the distance, walking towards the same direction as him. It was rare to see people, so he had to catch up with them and ask for directions.
Fan Xian ran all the way and spoke when he was ten steps away from the two men.
"You two, please stay."
As he spoke, he ran four or five steps closer.
The good news was that the two men in front stopped, but the bad news was that one of the men drew his sword and stabbed at him.
Fan Xian slammed on the brakes.
"Don't make the mistake..."
Before he could even utter the word "knowledge", the sword was already at his face. Fan Xian was startled and turned sideways to slap the sword away.
"I misunderstood. I was thinking..."
Unfortunately, the swordsman did not give him the chance to continue speaking and swung his sword towards his face again.
Fan Xian was a little angry, and leaned back to avoid the sword. He supported himself with his hands and kicked the sword-wielding man in the chest. This kick was powerful, heavy, and fast. Xie Bian's pupils trembled, and he hurriedly blocked with his sword, but felt that it was not enough, so he blocked with the hand holding the scabbard.
Although he blocked it hastily, he managed to block it at least. The moment he was kicked, Xie Bian felt his forearm go numb and he almost couldn't hold the sword. Then a huge force came towards him and he retreated four or five steps before he could steady himself.
At the same time, Fan Xian used the force to do a backflip, stood steadily, and started cursing.
"You are sick, can you please let me finish what I am saying?"
Xie Bian frowned and swung his sword, about to strike again.
The second prince spoke.
"Bi'an!"
Xie Bian did not move, tilted his head towards the Second Prince, waiting for his order.
The second prince waved his hand.
"I'll take it. What he said makes sense. At least listen to him finish his words."
Upon hearing this, Xie Bian put away his sword and looked at Fan Xian with sharp eyes.
Fan Xian rolled his eyes, he was sick.
The Second Prince looked at him with interest and smiled.
"Now you can say it."
Fan Xian thought to himself, "Fuck you!" and pointed at Xie Bian and asked the Second Prince.
"Is he your subordinate?"
The second prince glanced at Xie Bian and nodded.
"Yes."
Fan Xian pointed to his head.
"He has a mental illness. I suggest you take him to see a doctor."
Xie Bian looked at Fan Xian coldly.
The second prince burst out laughing.
"You are too vindictive. He attacked you because you approached me quickly. But it was not appropriate for him not to let you say it out loud. How about I apologize to you on his behalf?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Bian looked at Fan Xian with even more rage.
This guy is really sick, but his master has a good attitude.
Fan Xian ignored Xie Bian and spoke to the Second Prince with a slightly softer attitude.
"No need to apologize. He stabbed me with a sword and I kicked him, and that's it."
The second prince gave a thumbs up.
"That's great! Now you can finish what you just said."
This guy's attitude is quite nice. Fan Xian scratched his head.
"Nothing, it's just my first time in Prince Jing's Mansion. I went to the toilet and got lost. I wanted to ask you how to get back to the front yard."
The second prince looked him up and down.
"First time here. Are you here to attend the poetry reading in the front yard?"
Fan Xian nodded.
The second prince suddenly laughed.
"Are you Fan Xian?"
Fan Xian was surprised.
"You know me?"
The second prince smiled and nodded.
"I was just saying I was going to look for you in the front yard, but I didn't expect you to show up here."
Fan Xian asked doubtfully.
"Looking for me? What's the matter? Who are you?"
The second prince said seriously after hearing this.
"Your poem is very well written. I wanted to meet you as soon as it came out. As for who I am... you might as well guess."
Fan Xian looked at him. He was dressed elegantly, guarded by a mentally retarded swordsman, and could move freely in Prince Jing's Mansion. It was obvious who this man was.
"Second Prince?"
The second prince clapped his hands and laughed.
"clever!"
Fan Xian was speechless. Whenever he asked for directions, he would end up asking the Second Prince. The trouble with the Crown Prince had not been resolved yet, and he didn't want to provoke the Second Prince again.
"Goodbye, I'll find it myself."
After that, he turned around and left.
Second Prince: "..."
Just as he was about to call him and ask him why, the Second Prince noticed that he suddenly stopped. He looked in the direction he was looking and saw Lin Wan'er.
Fan Xian stared blankly at a person standing at the gate of the courtyard where the Second Prince had just come out. It was none other than the girl with chicken legs whom he had been thinking about day and night. She was actually in Prince Jing's Mansion.
As Lin Wan'er walked out of the courtyard accompanied by Xiaotao, she saw a familiar figure wearing the same clothes as the one she saw at Qingmiao that day, and she stopped immediately.
Why is Fan Xian here? Shouldn't he be in the front yard? What should I do? I'm not ready to meet him. This is too sudden.
The air suddenly became quiet, and time seemed to stand still at this moment.
After a long while, Fan Xian and Lin Wan'er spoke almost at the same time.
"you…"
"you…"
Lin Wan'er stopped talking.
Fan Xian smiled happily.
"I've been looking for you for a long time. I was disappointed not to see you in the front yard. I didn't expect you to be in the backyard. It's so great to see you again. You haven't told me your name yet."
Lin Wan'er cried out, and in panic avoided the main point.
"I'm here to visit my cousin."
Fan Xian said "oh".
"So what's your name?"
Lin Wan'er secretly called me idiot. I said I came to see my cousin. This is Prince Jing's Mansion. You can guess who I am with just a little imagination.
The second prince couldn't bear it anymore.
"His name is Lin Wan'er."
Fan Xian glared at the second prince and asked, "What are you doing...wait a minute."
Fan Xian asked in surprise.
"What did you say her name was?"
The second prince smiled and spoke word by word.
"Lin, Wan, Er!"
Fan Xian opened his mouth wide and looked at Lin Wan'er.
"He...I...am not...you are Lin Wan'er?"
