Chapter 303 Understand Mei Shao
Glancing at the receding convoy, Teng Zijing asked Fan Xian curiously.
"I just heard that she left a gift for you. What gift?"
Hearing this, Fan Xian shook his head and spoke with a slightly serious expression.
"What gift? She must have set a trap for me again."
Teng Zijing thought about it.
"Everyone's gone, how can I trick you, leaving the assassin behind?"
Upon hearing this, Fan Xian looked at him, thought for a moment without any clue, then curled his lips and shrugged.
"Who knows, maybe."
Turning his head to look at the princess's motorcade that was about to disappear from his sight, Fan Xian said softly.
"Let's go."
Teng Zijing nodded and said no more.
As soon as Fan Xian turned around, a dagger stabbed towards him.
Fan Xian was startled and reacted quickly. He grabbed the hand holding the dagger and forced it downwards.
When the hand lost its strength and the dagger fell to the ground, Fan Xian grabbed the hand again and pulled it to the right.
The owner of the hand was thrown to the right rear side of Fan Xian, staggered a few steps, and fell to the ground with a groan.
With his hands behind his back, he turned around and looked at the almost powerless assassin lying on the ground with his back to him, and Fan Xian leaned forward with his upper body.
When the assassin turned around and looked at him, and after seeing the man's face clearly, Fan Xian immediately stood up straight with a look of surprise on his face.
"Mr. Guo?! Why is it you? What are you doing...?"
Guo Baokun had already turned over and sat up, pointing at Fan Xian.
"Fan Xian, my father is in jail because of you, and I will not let you go."
Roaring and uttering some harsh words, Guo Baokun struggled to get up, trotted around Fan Xian and ran towards the city gate.
Fan Xian followed him with his eyes and stared at him for a while. When he came to his senses, he hurriedly shouted towards Guo Baokun's back.
"No, Mr. Guo, you are being unreasonable. How can you say it's because of me? Don't run away, let's..."
Guo Baokun ran away and looked at him hatefully. He had no intention of stopping and trotted into the city gate in a blink of an eye.
Fan Xian sighed.
"Hey...you run really fast."
Hearing this, Teng Zijing curled the corners of his mouth and turned to look at him.
"Do you need me to report to the police?"
Fan Xian glanced at him, thought for a moment, and waved his hand.
"Forget it. It's just a small matter. I'm reporting it to the police. He hasn't done anything yet, but Lao Mei has already chopped me down. Let's go."
After saying that, he raised his foot and continued to move forward.
Teng Zijing nodded and followed on horseback.
"Too."
As he said this, something in his heart moved.
"Hey, tell me, this Guo Baokun, could it be that he is the gift that the princess left for you?"
Fan Xian was stunned for a moment and then burst out laughing.
"What a joke! The princess's methods are not that simple."
Teng Zijing thought about it and agreed, so he said no more.
After taking only two steps, Fan Xian suddenly stopped again because he suddenly saw Lin Wan'er at the city gate.
Teng Zijing pulled the horse and glanced at him.
"what happened?"
Seeing that Fan Xian didn't say anything, he followed his gaze and saw Lin Wan'er. He suddenly realized and shut his mouth.
"Wait here for a moment."
Leaving behind a word, Fan Xian walked towards Lin Wan'er.
Their eyes met, and Fan Xian hesitated and asked in a low voice.
"How did you come?"
Lin Wan'er said softly.
"She is my mother after all."
Fan Xian paused and spoke.
"Since you're here, why don't you go over? The person just left."
Lin Wan'er glanced at the direction the convoy had completely disappeared and said in a low voice.
"I had a fight with her last night, and it was just awkward to meet her. I hesitated for a long time, but finally chose to watch her from afar."
After a moment's silence, Fan Xian's eyes were full of apology as he whispered.
"sorry."
Lin Wan'er turned her head and looked at him, staring into his eyes for a moment, then she shook her head gently.
"She wanted to harm you, but you were just trying to protect yourself. I understand. At this time, you were still willing to come out and see her off. I should be the one to thank you."
When Fan Xian heard this, he felt even more apologetic, but he did not show it on his face and just remained silent.
Lin Wan'er continued softly.
"She said that the path you are going to take will make you the target of public criticism. It is a dead end. What I want to say is that you can choose the path you like. I will accompany you."
The words were spoken seriously and emotionally, and the moment she finished speaking, Lin Wan'er's eyes were already red.
Fan Xian was deeply moved at this moment. He took a step forward wordlessly, took Lin Wan'er's hand, put it in his palm and squeezed it tightly.
After looking at each other affectionately for a long time, they both smiled knowingly.
Fan Xian said softly.
"Come on, I'll take you home."
"it is good."
……
The front hall of the Mei Mansion courtyard.
Mei Cheng'an lay on the table, resting his chin on his hand and yawning as he looked at Guo Baokun who was sitting opposite him.
"Uh~ What did you say, Mr. Guo? I didn't hear you clearly just now."
Guo Baokun repeated it again while holding the teacup.
"I just went to assassinate Fan Xian."
"Oh, huh? What did you say?"
Mei Chengan was a little confused.
"You, assassinated him? Where? How did you assassinate him?"
Guo Baokun nodded and drank a sip of tea. "Right at the city gate. Knowing that the princess was leaving Beijing today, I was planning to ask her if there was any way to save my father.
I didn't expect to be so late that I missed the opportunity. When I arrived, the princess had already left, but I unexpectedly saw Fan Xian.
I didn't expect that he would also go to see the eldest princess off. At that moment, I realized that even though they seemed to be fighting fiercely on the surface, they were actually still a family.
This is not right. My father was imprisoned because he helped the princess deal with Fan Xian. What was the result?
One of them gained both honor and glory, while the other... only received a little punishment. After all the fuss, my father was the only one who got into trouble.
Is this right? Is this reasonable? Is this fair?
The more I thought about it, the angrier I got. Luckily I had a dagger with me, so I took advantage of Fan Xian's inattention and stabbed him in the back."
"..."
Mei Cheng'an recalled this episode, but to his surprise, he had clearly explained the whole story to Guo Baokun, and Guo Baokun understood it at the time, but he didn't expect that this incident still happened.
And the reason why Guo Shao took action...
It's well-reasoned, powerful and impeccable.
I really don't know if it was a coincidence or fate.
Mei Chengan clicked his tongue.
"And then what? Stabbed him to death?"
Guo Baokun put down the teacup with a bang. He looked very powerful, but his words sounded hollow.
"Well... not really. He dodged it. But I was too hasty this time. He may not be able to dodge it next time."
"..."
Mei Chengan raised his eyebrows.
"Next time? You want to do it again?"
Guo Baokun slammed the table.
"Not just once, but until he is killed!"
"Whenever I think of my father being imprisoned because of him, I feel so angry that my teeth itch. If I don't take revenge, I'm unworthy of being a son!"
"..."
Mei Cheng'an didn't know what to say. How did he end up talking about this matter? He was speechless, really speechless.
"No, do you... Uncle know about this? Otherwise..."
Guo Baokun waved his hand boldly.
"No need to ask my father. I know he won't agree to this. I'd better wait until I've taken revenge before telling him."
Mei Chengan wanted to say something, but Guo Baokun took the initiative.
"Master Mei, you know that my father has always looked down on me. Don't you believe that I can take revenge on my own?"
"..."
How does this relate to the issue of trust? That’s off topic.
Mei Cheng, feeling a little tired, smoothed his brows.
Persuading him to give up revenge at this time may arouse his rebellious psychology, which will really lead to a crisis of trust. It will be bad. We have to change our perspective.
After thinking for a while, Mei Cheng'an put down his hand, looked at him and spoke.
"Mr. Guo, it's like this. It's not that I don't trust you, it's mainly because... you don't know martial arts, but Fan Xian has skills close to the eighth level.
I don’t know if you know much about martial arts, I can only say that there is a huge gap between you and if you rely on yourself, I am afraid…”
Since it doesn't make sense at the mental level, tell him how difficult it is from a practical level so that he will give up.
Mei Cheng'an thought his idea was quite clever.
And Guo Baokun was indeed silenced by his words. He lowered his head and said nothing, and no one knew what he was thinking.
After waiting quietly for a while, Mei Cheng'an curled the corners of his mouth calmly, and when he felt that the time was right, he spoke in a gentle voice.
"I'm not saying this to discourage you, actually, uncle..."
"I understand!"
Guo Baokun suddenly looked up excitedly and interrupted him.
Mei Cheng'an was a little puzzled.
"What do you understand?"
Guo Baokun said with a look of surprise.
"Master Mei, your reminder is absolutely correct. With Fan Xian's skills, it is too unrealistic for me to take revenge on my own."
Mei Cheng'an exclaimed, isn't this quite clear? The problem is why is he so excited? Shouldn't he be dejected?
What's going on?
"Since you..."
Guo Baokun interrupted him excitedly again.
"In that case, if I can't kill him, then I can just go find and hire someone who can kill him!"
"..."
“No, I’m not this…”
"Yes! I understand Master Mei. This is not enough. Having people also requires a detailed and reliable plan that can guarantee a one-shot kill!"
"Ah? What do you know? When did I..."
"I understand. It's not just about choosing the right person, the right place, but also the right time. As the saying goes, the right time, the right place, and the right people are all essential!"
"Are you listening to me, Mr. Guo? You will understand what I am saying. I didn't say..."
"But I have no idea how to choose."
"Stop, beep! Listen first..."
"I'll go back and look up the military books right now!"
After saying that, Guo Baokun stood up, excitedly took out the bench, and then ran out.
Mei Cheng'an stared at his smooth movements in amazement, unable to react at all.
Coming to his senses, he quickly stood up, reached out his hand and shouted towards his back.
"No, Mr. Guo, I've split the whole fork. You should cool down first..."
"Thank you for the reminder, Master Mei. You don't have to send me off!"
Guo Baokun waved back as he ran, and after saying this, he disappeared from Mei Chengan's sight in the blink of an eye.
"..."
"Hey I'm really... fucked!"
Mei Cheng'an almost vomited blood and was in tears. He really couldn't deal with what Guo Baokun had done to him.
"What the hell is this? It has nothing to do with anything..."
