Chapter 164 Why Cancel
Mei Cheng'an said.
"The way to get your father back on his feet at this time is very simple."
Fan Xian leaned forward.
"any solution?"
Mei Chengan shrugged.
"It will be fine when the wolf really comes."
The corner of Fan Xian's mouth twitched, and he was a little unsure whether his fellow villager meant what he understood.
"What do you mean?"
Mei Cheng'an was stunned for a moment and looked at Fan Xian with contempt.
"You don't understand this? You're so stupid! You still need me to feed you food, really! It means you don't have to do anything!"
"When the prince really attacks you, the guard your father assigned to you will be of no help at all. When you are in a life-or-death situation, your father will surely wake you up immediately!"
After Mei Cheng'an finished speaking, the front hall suddenly fell into an eerie silence. Fan Xian was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly laughed and even clapped his hands.
"Okay, okay, okay, this is a really good idea! I can't find any fault with it! It's you who really doesn't take my life seriously! Beautiful, I can only say that the idea is simply great!"
"I came here in a hurry, and I didn't prepare any thank you gift. How about this, I know a little bit of boxing, how about I show you some as a thank you gift, what do you think?"
Mei Chengan suppressed his smile and quickly waved his hand.
"No, no, we're all buddies, why are you always so polite? It's too formal, hahahahahahahaha."
Seeing his fellow villager who was laughing so hard that he was bent over, Fan Xian rolled his eyes and gave Mei Cheng'an two middle fingers. He even felt that two were not enough, so he gave them several times in a row.
Mei Cheng'an laughed for a long while, until his stomach hurt, then he stopped and looked at Fan Xian.
"You, you, ouch, you're laughing so hard that my stomach hurts, wait a minute."
Mei Chengan said after taking a breath.
"Do you think I'm kidding you?"
Fan Xian did not conceal his contempt.
What do you say?
Mei Chengan slammed the table.
"Look, I knew right away that you misunderstood me. I was serious!"
Fan Xian groaned, stared at Mei Cheng'an, and made a gesture in front of him with his right fist.
"It's not over yet, is it? Do you believe that before the prince kills me, I will stab you in the face with this sandbag-sized fist?"
Mei Chengan clicked his tongue.
"Look at you, I haven't even finished what I'm saying, why are you so angry? Can you please listen to me finish what I'm saying?"
Fan Xian rolled his eyes and stopped talking.
Mei Chengan let out a sound.
"That's right. Listen to me. I don't mean to ask you to wait until the prince's men take action. That would be stupid. Why not just show your father how the prince plans to deal with you?"
Fan Xian thought for a moment and said.
"May I ask if you can speak human language?"
"..."
Mei Cheng'an rolled his eyes speechlessly, then told Fan Xian what happened today.
Fan Xian seemed to be thinking deeply after listening to this.
"You mean, this Cheng Jushu from Northern Qi was prepared for me by the prince? Is this the ultimate move that the prince has been preparing for?"
Mei Cheng'an snapped his fingers and smiled without saying anything.
Fan Xian showed anger on his face.
"Damn, I spent so much effort to lure a master from Northern Qi to deal with me. I really deserve the three words 'holding back the ultimate move'."
As he said this he suddenly sneered.
"What makes me even more angry is that the prince underestimates me. Although I haven't reached the eighth level yet, my true energy is special. It's no problem for me to burst out and beat an eighth-level person. Can't I tie up a ninth-level person?"
"..."
Mei Cheng'an was so angry that he laughed.
"Who is looking down on whom? I am really impressed. Please don't look down on others. Do you think Cheng Jushu is an ordinary eighth-grade? Do you think an ordinary eighth-grade can be so famous?"
"His reputation is not just boasting, it is earned through real fighting. He is two meters tall, well-trained, has invincible defense, can fight and resist, he can be called a human tank!"
"You stab someone with a sword or a knife, that's just like tickling. Oh, they can also poison you, right? Yes, poison works, but ordinary eighth-grade poison takes only one second to take effect. Cheng Jushu can resist for ten seconds, so the extra nine seconds is more than enough to kill you!"
"You're still talking about the prince, I think you two are the same, the elder brother complaining about the younger brother, the pot calling the kettle black, I'm dying of laughter."
"..."
Fan Xian didn't care about Mei Cheng'an's last taunt. The description given by his fellow villager was so vivid that he was stunned by Cheng Jushu's terrifying image and strength.
"Is this so awesome?"
Mei Cheng'an took the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea. He took a sip, spoke a lot and felt a little thirsty. He put down the teacup and said.
"What do you think."
Fan Xian patted his chest with lingering fear.
"A two-meter-tall strong man, my goodness, if I stand in front of him, wouldn't I be like a little chicken? If I really fight with him... I don't dare to think about it."
As he spoke, Fan Xian showed relief on his face.
"So I really escaped a disaster by accident. It was a close call. I won't thank you. This is what you should do. But I must thank that kid brother! And I have to thank him handsomely!"
Mei Cheng'an nodded in agreement. To be honest, if it weren't for the little brother, he would have just ignored the corpse and had no intention of intervening.
Because deep down he doesn't want to change the world line.
Although the current world line has changed slightly, it is still developing in the original direction. Once the case is reported and the Niulan Street assassination is gone, many subsequent things will change. As a result, he will lose all foresight. He was entangled with this once when Fan Xian came to him just after entering Beijing, and he chose to give up.
But what he didn't expect was that after going around in circles, he was corrected back to his original trajectory, so when he faced this problem again this time, he hesitated again.
Although that hesitation was quickly shattered by the kid's simple question and clear eyes, it could not hide the fact that he had hesitated.
So, when Fan Xian said he didn't want to thank him, he felt it was quite natural, as he really didn't do anything.
Fan Xian asked Mei Chengan curiously.
"Hey, you reported the case together with that kid. Do you know his name and where he lives?"
Mei Cheng'an was stunned when he heard this. He went on adventures with the little brother, reported the case together, and even took a stroll around the little brother's house, but he seemed to have never asked the little brother's name from beginning to end. This discovery made Mei Cheng'an laugh and cry.
"I only know his last name is Teng, I forgot to ask his name, family name..."
Fan Xian interrupted.
"Wait a moment, your last name is Teng? Which Teng?"
Mei Chengan smiled.
"It's the vine in Teng Zijing's name."
A trace of disbelief flashed across Fan Xian's face.
"Isn't his family also living outside the city?"
Mei Cheng'an uttered an "ah" and smiled.
"That's what you guessed."
Fan Xian rolled his eyes at him, too lazy to pay attention to Mei Cheng'an's shamelessness, and sighed with a hint of surprise.
"This world is really small. This is too coincidental."
……
The First Division of the Supervisory Council has taken over the case in full. Team leader Xie has already brought his men back to Kyoto Prefecture, and they have nothing to do with the rest of the case.
Zhu Ge, the head of a department, went to the scene in person to block the news and guide the ambush plan. However, before the blockade, he had already passed the news out.
Changxin Palace.
The maid Lanxiang hurried into the hall.
"Your Highness, there is sudden news from the Overwatch Council."
The eldest princess was stunned for a moment. Zhuge seldom contacted her actively. This was also her request. This was to protect Zhuge. After all, Zhuge's position was too important.
What a big deal this was that even Zhuge couldn't keep his cool.
The eldest princess opened the note and started reading it. Her face changed immediately after just one glance.
"Oh no, Cheng Jushu's story has been leaked."
As she spoke, she read the contents of the message carefully. After reading it, the princess put down her hands with an uncertain expression.
Lanxiang looked worried.
"Your Highness, what happened? Why did it suddenly leak?"
The eldest princess suddenly smiled bitterly and shook her head helplessly.
"God will protect Fan Xian."
As Lanxiang looked puzzled, the eldest princess handed her the note.
"Read it yourself. The content is a bit long. Cheng Jushu is already under the supervision of the Supervisory Council and is waiting to follow the clues. Zhu Ge asked if the message was a conspiracy between the prince and me."
Lanxiang read it carefully and her expression became more and more angry.
"These two disciples of Si Gu Jian are really incapable of accomplishing anything, but are more likely to cause trouble than accomplishing anything. It would have been fine if the driver who transported Cheng Jushu was hired without vigilance, but they also failed to notice the existence of the child. That would have been fine, but they killed the person to silence him, but they didn't even bother to destroy the body, and even let the child see it and report it to Kyoto Prefecture. These two people really deserve to die! And that child too, how curious was he? He actually followed him all the way, and not only was he not afraid of the corpse, but he also meddled in other people's business. Your Highness's important affairs were actually ruined by such a child, it's too..."
Seeing Lan Xiangqi shivering all over, the eldest princess smiled.
"So it's God's will. This matter seems outrageous no matter how you look at it, but it happened so openly. Apart from God's will, I really can't think of anyone else who could make up such a ridiculous thing. Well, God's will cannot be violated, so let Fan Xian live a little longer."
Lanxiang looked heavy-hearted and said after thinking for a while.
"Your Highness, would you like me to quickly inform Lin Gong to cancel the plan and have those two Si Gu Jian disciples retreat?"
The eldest princess fixed her hair and asked back in a calm tone.
“Why cancel it?”
Lanxiang was stunned. She was confused by this question.
"Prevent them from being caught by the Overwatch Council and implicating Your Highness."
The eldest princess just smiled when she heard this, and did not respond. After thinking for a moment, she asked again.
"Did Lin Gong go to Zuixianju to find Si Lili to get the token?"
Lanxiang said.
"Never."
The eldest princess uttered an "oh".
"That's tomorrow... I'm afraid it's too late. Send a message to Lin Gong to urge him."
Although Lanxiang was confused, she still nodded.
"Yes."
"As for Zhuge..."
The princess thought about it.
"Give him a yes reply, and he will know what to do later."
