Fan Xian suddenly pulled open the quilt and moved as swiftly as a rabbit. He jumped off the bed barefoot, bent over, turned his back to Yan Xiaoyi and lifted up his shirt.
"Look, Commander Yan."
Yan Xiaoyi took a look and was stunned for a moment. The smooth waist was clearly visible and there was indeed no scar.
He didn't believe it and helped lift up the clothes. He took another closer look and found that there was indeed nothing. How could it be possible?
Fan Xian was very open, showing off his lower back as well as his side waist and abdomen.
Yan Xiaoyi fell silent after confirming it.
Fan Xian pulled up his clothes, leaned forward towards him, and asked with a smile.
"Commander Yan, there should be no problem with gambling, right?"
After asking, he opened his clothes again in a nasty way, twisted his body left and right to show off, shook his head and had a nasty smile on his face.
Yan Xiaoyi glanced at him coldly, turned and left.
Fan Xian did not forget to remind him.
"I'm willing to admit defeat!"
……
Outside the house, on the corridor, seeing Yan Xiaoyi coming out, Liu Ruyu and Fan Ruoruo subconsciously looked towards Fan Xian's bedroom.
Unexpectedly, Yan Xiaoyi suddenly stopped in front of them. The two had to look at him, and after waiting for a while, he still didn't say anything.
Just as the two were looking at each other, Yan Xiaoyi suddenly knelt down in front of Fan Ruoruo.
Fan Ruoruo was startled and subconsciously took a half step back. Liu Ruyu also opened her eyes wide in surprise.
It wasn't over yet. Yan Xiaoyi not only knelt down, he even kowtowed, and said.
"I'll make amends to you!"
Fan Ruoruo was at a loss as to how to react.
Fan Xian, who had followed out at some point, leaned against the square pillar outside the door with his body half covered, and joked as he looked at Yan Xiaoyi who was just picking up the bow and standing up.
"Commander Yan, how about staying here for breakfast?"
Yan Xiaoyi said nothing, walked around the two of them without looking back and went out.
After watching him leave in a daze, Liu Ruyu came to her senses, pointed at Yan Xiaoyi's back and asked Fan Xian in surprise.
"What's going on here?"
Upon hearing this, Fan Ruoruo looked at her brother curiously.
Fan Xian glanced at Yan Xiaoyi's back and said casually.
"He pushed my sister, so asking him to kowtow was considered a light punishment."
Fan Ruoruo was stunned for a moment when she heard this, then she smiled gently.
Liu Ruyu laughed immediately when she heard that.
"You are such a protective kid!"
Fan Xian looked at the two of them and said.
"Auntie, Ruoruo, I'm still a little sleepy and want to sleep a little longer."
Liu Ruyu said.
"Okay, go back and rest first. I'll ask the kitchen to prepare meals for you at any time. You can eat whenever you wake up."
Fan Xian smiled and nodded.
"Thank you, aunt."
Fan Ruoruo was still a little worried about him and wanted to say something.
"elder brother…"
Fan Xian interrupted her in a gentle voice.
"It's okay, go back."
Fan Ruoruo stopped talking.
Liu Ruyu glanced at Fan Ruoruo and said.
"Let's go."
After looking at Fan Xian again, Fan Ruoruo followed her and left.
Fan Xian watched the two of them walk away and then turned back to the house.
After closing the door, Fan Xian breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Wu Zhu standing at the door holding an iron rod.
"Phew~ Thanks to my uncle for sending me back in time without telling Yan Xiaoyi! It would have been disastrous if I was a little later! It was so exciting!"
Wu Zhu tilted his head towards him.
"You were hit by Yan Xiaoyi's arrow."
Fan Xian was stunned for a moment.
"Yes what's the matter?"
Wu Zhu was puzzled.
"No external injuries?"
Fan Xian was helpless.
"Uncle, are you still hoping that I'll get hurt?"
Wu Zhu did not answer immediately. He went to get Fan Xian's coat and gave it to him.
"He wasn't boasting just now. Even a Grandmaster would be injured if he hit them with his arrows! He is the only archer above the ninth rank in the world."
Fan Xian suddenly realized, took the clothes and exclaimed.
"So this is what you meant, uncle."
While putting on his clothes, Fan Xian said with a beaming expression.
"What a coincidence! His arrow did hit my waist, but it was blocked by something!"
……
Wu Zhu looked at the key in Fan Xian's hand.
"Is this the key?"
Fan Xian's eyes were fixed on the key, and he hummed when he heard that.
"That's the key!"
Wuzhu Road.
"When Yan Xiaoyi shoots an arrow, even pig iron will be cut through."
Fan Xian stroked his chin with one hand.
"But the key is intact."
After turning it left and right, Fan Xian handed the key to Wu Zhu.
“I really can’t tell what material it is made of.”
Wu Zhu took the key, rubbed it for a moment, and suddenly asked.
“Why didn’t you put the fake key back?”
Wu Zhu had asked this question when he first found Fan Xian, but the topic got changed at that time and he didn't have time to answer.
When this was mentioned, Fan Xian became interested. He had been interrupted by his fellow villager when he wanted to say something, and he had been holding it in for a long time.
"I turned a corner halfway and ran into the eldest princess and Zhuang Mohan having a secret meeting, and heard a shocking secret!
The princess secretly made a deal with Northern Qi and betrayed Yan Bingyun, giving Northern Qi the opportunity to get Sean back, just to deal with me!
Did you know? Sean is actually Zhuang Mohan's younger brother! "
When it comes to breaking gossip, Fan Xian speaks with great enthusiasm and excitement.
Unfortunately, Wuzhu was not interested in any of this. He only cared about one thing.
"So why didn't you put the key back?"
"..."
Fan Xian's expression froze instantly, and then slowly turned into depression, covering his chest.
"Uncle, can you at least give me some reaction? You're making me feel like a clown, which is really embarrassing."
Wuzhu’s focus is strange.
"What is a clown?"
"..."
After a moment of silence, Fan Xian wiped his face and let out a long sigh.
"It's not important. Let's get down to business. There's no rush about the fake key. I'll find a chance to put it back later."
After saying that, he took the key from Wuzhu's hand, held it up and shook it.
"Now the most important thing is to open the box!"
After a while.
Stroking the box he had just taken out and placed on the table, Fan Xian took a deep breath and said.
"Now I finally know what's in this box that I left behind!"
Wuzhu Road on the side.
"You open it."
Fan Xian glanced at him, slapped the key in his hand on the box, pushed it towards Wu Zhu, and spoke.
"No, uncle, have you forgotten? You said this is what you want to do most, so naturally you should open it yourself."
Wu Zhu's "gaze" moved from the box to Fan Xian's face, and there was a rare hint of hesitation in his tone.
"But the things in this box may not be left for me."
Fan Xian smiled and patted his arm gently.
"Whether it is left for you, you have to open it to find out, uncle."
Upon hearing this, Wu Zhu "looked" at the key on the box, hesitated, took it in his hand, rubbed it for a moment, and then suddenly inserted it into the keyhole and turned it hard!
The complicated mechanism in the box started to operate immediately, making a clicking sound, and after a moment the sound stopped abruptly.
Fan Xian and Wu Zhu worked together to unlock the lock and opened the lid of the box.
Seeing what was inside, Wu Zhu was at a loss, and Fan Xian's eyes widened. He simply couldn't believe his eyes.
What caught my eye was a sci-fi looking... um... what should I call it? A box-mounted computer?
Fan Xian was stunned. He was so dazed that he doubted where he was. He turned around stupidly.
Yes, the surrounding environment is indeed ancient! I have lived here for more than ten years.
After turning around, Fan Xian was afraid that he was hallucinating, so he rubbed his eyes, lowered his head, took another careful look, and even touched it with his hand.
After confirming that it was not an illusion, Fan Xian pointed at the things in the box and laughed for no apparent reason. His laughter gradually grew louder and louder, becoming more and more insane.
“Ha, ha ha, ha ha, ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha ha ha…”
As he laughed, he even started jumping and spinning around.
Wuzhu bent over and carefully moved his hands in front of the things in the box, but he never dared to touch them.
After Fan Xian had been going crazy for a long time, Wu Zhu finally couldn't help but said to Fan Xian, who was still jumping and spinning and laughing.
"What are you laughing at?" Fan Xian finally stopped laughing, walked back and explained to Wu Zhu.
"Uncle Hahahaha, you, you don't know, this world is really, really as ridiculous as it can be, hahahahaha!"
Wu Zhu, still hunched over, tilted his head towards him.
"You seem surprised. Do you recognize what's in here?"
Upon hearing this, Fan Xian laughed even more exaggeratedly, and laughed for a long time before he gradually recovered.
"Uncle, do you know how many people and how many years it took to make this thing? It just appeared right in front of me like this. Hahahaha, this is ridiculous!"
Wuzhu Road.
"So you know how to open it?"
Fan Xian suppressed his smile and shook his head.
"You can't open this thing just by knowing it. It's clearly shown on it. You have to input the correct command."
As he spoke, Fan Xian squatted down in front of the box and looked carefully at the display screen in front of him. As he looked, he suddenly thought of a question.
"It's been at least ten years, is it still working?"
Wu Zhu said at this time.
"I do not know."
Fan Xian looked at him speechlessly, laughed silently, looked at the screen again and thought for a moment before feeling relieved.
"Never mind, just give it a try first."
As he spoke, Fan Xian placed both his hands on it.
……
Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.
Emperor Qing was sitting on the imperial couch wearing a red coat. He reached out and picked up a grape and put it into his mouth, then listened to Yan Xiaoyi's apology with a calm expression.
"Your Majesty! I failed in my duty! The assassin's whereabouts are unknown, but I am sure that he must have been shot by an arrow!"
Emperor Qing remained calm after hearing this. He stretched out his hand to signal him to stand up, and then looked at Hong Sixiang who was standing beside him.
"You talk to him."
Hong Sixiang bowed and then stood up and looked at Yan Xiaoyi.
"There were two assassins. One of them sneaked into the harem first, and I chased him all the way out of the palace."
As he spoke, his eyes moved left and right.
"Now that I think about it, it should be a way to lure the tiger away from the mountain!"
Emperor Qing, who was leisurely eating grapes, fixed his eyes upon hearing this.
Yan Xiaoyi asked in a deep voice.
"Did you catch that one?"
Hong Sixiang shook his head.
"Never!"
Yan Xiaoyi found it a little unbelievable.
"Escaped from your hands? The one who came was a Grand Master?"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Qing raised his head and looked at Hong Sixiang curiously.
Hong Sixiang Road.
"That person's skills are only at the beginning of the ninth rank, but he is very slippery. The sword technique he uses is the Four-Gu Sword."
Yan Xiaoyi was very surprised.
"Si Gu Jian? The Dongyi City delegation is still in Kyoto. Could it be Yun Zhilan?"
Hong Sixiang was very sure.
"It can't be him."
Yan Xiaoyi thought about it.
"Could it be that Si Gu Jian is used to confuse people?"
Hong Sixiang vetoed again.
"No, that person has grasped the essence of the sword intent!"
Emperor Qing listened thoughtfully on the side.
Yan Xiaoyi nodded.
"Then it must be related to Dongyi City!"
After saying this, he bowed to Emperor Qing.
“Your Majesty, search the delegation. Even if it’s not Yun Zhilan, he must be related to him!”
Emperor Qing said lightly.
"Is there any real evidence?"
Yan Xiaoyi nodded.
"Just find those two assassins!"
Emperor Qing glanced at him.
“What if we can’t find it?”
"this…"
Yan Xiaoyi was speechless for a moment.
Emperor Qing picked up a grape and looked at it in front of his eyes.
"Two assassins broke into the palace late at night and escaped unscathed. If this gets out, where will the reputation of our Qing Kingdom be?!"
His tone became heavier and heavier, and after he finished speaking, Emperor Qing looked at the two of them coldly.
Seeing Emperor Qing getting angry, Yan Xiaoyi panicked and immediately knelt down and kowtowed.
"I apologize!"
Hong Sixiang was not much better than him. He also looked panicked and no longer as calm as before. He spoke hurriedly.
"When I saw Si Gu Jian's true teachings, I couldn't help myself and wanted to take a closer look, so I kept chasing him for a long time. To be honest, it's my fault!"
Emperor Qing lowered his hands and looked at the two of them and said sternly.
"Before you admit your mistake, think about why you assassinated Li Yunrui!"
Yan Xiaoyi raised his head and blurted out.
"Of course it will cause chaos in Kyoto!"
Emperor Qing's emotions seemed to calm down suddenly, and he asked calmly.
"and then?"
Hong Sixiang struck back.
"Yes, if the assassination succeeds and a princess dies, what good will it do to Dongyi City?"
As he said this, he glanced at Yan Xiaoyi and then looked up at Emperor Qing cautiously.
Emperor Qing no longer looked at the two of them. He thought for a long time and then said softly.
"Go down."
Hong Sixiang and Yan Xiaoyi both breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yes!"
After the two of them left, Emperor Qing threw the grapes in his hand into his mouth, revealing a half-smile, and thought to himself.
"Old Five, Old Five, it's been so many years, but you don't know how to change the target of framing. You really have no creativity."
……
Fan Mansion.
After trying seven or eight times randomly, the female AI voice kept saying that the password was wrong. Fan Xian became a little discouraged and looked at Wu Zhu.
"Uncle, did I really never tell you what the password is? Think about it carefully."
Wu Zhu looked at him.
"I do not remember."
Fan Xian looked at Wu Zhu in silence for a long time, and suddenly something moved in his heart.
"Hey, I thought of another one."
After saying this, Fan Xian moved his fingers and started operating on the screen while speaking at the same time.
"I've tried my name and birthday, but they're all wrong. This time I'll input your name. Uncle, if that doesn't work this time, then I'll really confess."
This time the password he entered was [woshiwuzhu].
After losing, Fan Xian waited for a long time expectantly, but there was no response. It was as if the screen was stuck and it didn't respond when he clicked on it.
Fan Xian was desperate, he sighed deeply and looked at Wu Zhu.
"Look, I told you, it at least gave a warning that the password was wrong before, but now it's just frozen."
"Oh, this time I really can't open it."
As he spoke, Fan Xian stood up, turned around, folded his arms and leaned on the table, then sighed again.
Seeing this, Wu Zhu felt that there was no hope, so he stood up and turned around and leaned back, imitating Fan Xian.
Just when both of them had lost hope, a reminder sound suddenly sounded behind them.
"The password is correct!"
Immediately afterwards, there was a "click" sound of unlocking.
Wu Zhu spoke lightly.
"opened!"
Fan Xian turned around suddenly as if frightened, staring at the box with wide eyes, extremely confused.
"No, why???"
Looking at Wu Zhu, Fan Xian was very indignant.
"Uncle, I now have reason to suspect that there is some unspeakable secret between you and my mother!"
Wu Zhu's gaze slowly shifted from the box to him.
"I really can't remember!"
Fan Xian stretched out his index finger.
"You don't need to tell me. I'll just look at what I left for you and you'll know. Hehehe!"
After saying this, Fan Xian completely opened the layer with the screen and looked down with serious eyes.
However, when he saw what was below, the smirk on Fan Xian's face froze again.
