Chapter 89 Meeting Fan Ruoruo
On the tenth day of May, the fourth year of the Qingli period, the weather was clear.
morning.
Qin Feng was learning new skills in the house when he suddenly heard familiar footsteps.
He came out of the house and just saw Fan Xian climbing over the wall.
"Brother Ye, why aren't you lying in your favorite hammock?"
"The sun outside is a bit glaring, so it's more convenient to read inside."
Qin Feng laughed and scolded Fan Xian, "You kid, don't you know how to knock on the door? You just climb over the wall every day."
"When I knock on the door, Brother Ye has to come over to open it. How troublesome! I can climb over the wall much faster."
"Wrong sense!"
Qin Feng asked: "Why did you come here during the day? Do you want to learn martial arts?"
"If you want to learn, I can teach you now, but I can only teach you one subject today."
Hearing this, Fan Xian's face lit up with joy.
He hurriedly said, "I want to learn a boxing technique!"
Originally, he just wanted to come and talk to Qin Feng about the Inspection Institute and Wu Zhu, but he didn't expect there would be an unexpected surprise.
"Okay, I'll teach you the Shaoyang Fist. This is the best and most powerful fist I've learned."
"Come here." Qin Feng put down the book and waved to Fan Xian.
At the same time, he said: "Shaoyang Fist is a relatively comprehensive boxing style, with two routines, fast and slow, and it is unpredictable. Whether it is against one enemy or many enemies, it is very outstanding!"
"When this boxing technique is practiced to a high level, it can be used both fast and slow, catching the opponent off guard."
"Do you want to learn this, or something else?"
"Just learn this!" Fan Xian nodded.
Qin Feng had said that this was the best and most powerful boxing style he had ever learned, so Fan Xian naturally wanted to learn from him.
Qin Feng had already practiced Shaoyang Fist to perfection and had a complete understanding of this style of boxing.
When he reaches this level, the boxing technique in his hands has actually become one and the same, without those rigid moves anymore.
Of course, if he taught Fan Xian directly like this, it would be completely misleading.
Qin Feng must first understand Fan Xian’s current level of boxing skills, and then teach him according to the situation.
In this way, Qin Feng first let Fan Xian practice boxing for him in the yard, and then taught him the mental method.
Only after he understood the meaning of the mind method did he start teaching boxing.
Two quarters of an hour later, Qin Feng taught Fan Xian five styles of boxing.
"Okay, that's all I'll teach you today. Once you've learned all this, come back and find me."
Learning something does not mean to just teach it all at once. You may remember it on the day it is taught, but after a few days, you will forget most of it.
With Qin Feng's teaching method, Fan Xian will remember things more firmly and make faster progress.
"Tell me, what do you want to see me about today?"
"Brother Ye, Uncle Wu Zhu has come to Kyoto." Fan Xian said.
"Are the five adults here now?" Qin Feng asked, looking around.
"No, he will come to the Fan Mansion in the evening."
"Okay! Then I'll go there in the evening." Qin Feng said quickly.
"Row."
Fan Xian frowned slightly and said, "Brother Ye, there is one more thing. The director of the Inspection Institute, Chen Pingping, should have discovered you."
"How do you know?" Qin Feng asked without changing his expression.
He had been mentally prepared for this matter. After all, the Inspection Bureau's control over Kyoto was too deep, and it was only a matter of time before they discovered him.
I just didn't expect this to happen so quickly.
Fan Xian replied, "Yesterday, the Inspection Institute sent me more than a thousand martial arts secret manuals. The people from the Inspection Institute said that they were specially sent to me by Director Chen."
Hearing this, Qin Feng smiled and said, "Just after sending me a book, Dean Chen sent you a book. It seems that he already knows about my existence."
"But Dean Chen doesn't seem to have any intention of breaking up, so Shadow was not sent over."
Qin Feng did not notice anyone peeping around, nor did he notice any special movements.
In this world, the only person he cannot detect now is the Grand Master. He can even detect a shadow.
"Shadow?" Fan Xian was slightly puzzled.
"The head of the Sixth Division of the Inspection Institute, with strength above the Ninth Rank."
"Who is better, him or Brother Ye?" Fan Xian asked immediately.
"I haven't fought it, so I don't know." Qin Feng shook his head.
"Forget it, business is more important. Brother Ye, what should we do now? Should we change places?"
"No need. Since Dean Chen already knows about it, changing it would be just a way of covering up the truth."
"Ah? Brother Ye, how come you also know this idiom?" Fan Xian asked in surprise.
"My master told me." Anyway, he would push all the problems onto his master.
As for you asking me who my master is? My master won’t let me tell you!
It’s a directly closed loop, impeccable!
"Don't interrupt!" Qin Feng continued, "You have more than a thousand books, right?"
"kindness."
"Then I'll just move into the Fan Mansion. If I move so many books in, I'll really be exposed."
In the current situation, Qin Feng is exposed, but not completely exposed, just half exposed.
Because at present only Chen Pingping is aware of his existence, and the fact that Chen Pingping gave the book to Fan Xian alone means that he has not spread the news yet.
If Wuzhu didn't return to Kyoto, Qin Feng's best choice would be to leave Kyoto for a while.
Because this is the safest way!
But since Wuzhu is here, then everything will be fine.
This is a 'superman' who can even defeat a grandmaster. With Wuzhu's protection, he feels extremely safe.
That’s right, in Qin Feng’s heart, Wu Zhu is implicitly on his side.
Because he is confident and he knows too many things.
The location of the temple, Fan Xian's true identity, Wu Zhu's true identity, etc., no matter which of these information comes out.
They can both control Wu Zhu and Fan Xian.
Even when facing Emperor Qing, he said that he knew the location of the temple and could obtain a golden medal of immunity from death.
So in the current situation, it would be better for Qin Feng to go to the Fan Mansion.
"That's great!" Fan Xian nodded excitedly.
"Let's stop talking nonsense. I'll pack my things and leave directly."
Soon, the two men, each carrying a few bags, used their Qinggong skills to move through the alleys of Kyoto.
Not long after, the two returned to the Fan Mansion.
"Brother Ye, Wang Qinian and Teng Zijing are inside. Please wait a moment. I will send them away."
When they were almost in the yard, Fan Xian said. Qin Feng thought about it, nodded and said, "Go."
At this time, except Fan Xian, no one knew about Qin Feng's situation. Even except Chen Pingping, no one else knew that there was such a person.
In this way, as long as Qin Feng lives secretly in Fan Xian's yard, others will still not know about the existence of such a person.
Since Chen Pingping has expressed his goodwill, it means that he will not publicize it for the time being.
Next, Qin Feng planned to let Fan Xian tell Chen Pingping the news that he was living in the Fan Mansion. In this way, the other party would choose to come and talk to him.
As for arresting him?
Wuzhu is here, what is he afraid of?
While Qin Feng was thinking, Fan Xian also came back.
"Brother Ye, there's no one in my yard right now, let's go."
In this way, Qin Feng lived in Fan Xian's yard again.
The yard is not small, and Qin Feng has a place to practice martial arts. Mainly, Fan Xian is basically not at home during the day, and there are no servants to disturb him, so it is relatively quiet.
While packing up, Qin Feng heard footsteps coming from the gate of the yard.
"Someone is coming." Qin Feng said.
Fan Xian looked up in surprise, he didn't hear any sound.
At this time, a crisp shout came from the other side of the courtyard gate, "Brother! The second prince is here to send you an invitation."
After hearing Fan Ruoruo's voice, Fan Xian said to Qin Feng: "Brother Ye, this is my sister. You can definitely trust her. And she knows what you are saying. She can also provide cover at home. How about meeting her?"
Fan Xian was actually a rather cautious person. As he hadn't found an opportunity before, he had never told Fan Ruoruo about Qin Feng's affairs.
"That's fine." Qin Feng nodded.
Among the maids and servants in the Fan Mansion, there are secret agents from the Inspection Office.
Moreover, the information reported by the spies was handled by many people, so it was difficult for Chen Pingping to suppress it, and he would report it directly to Emperor Qing.
Therefore, if someone cooperates with him, the possibility of him being exposed will be lower.
"Ruoruo, this way." Fan Xian waved his hand.
After hearing the voice, Fan Ruoruo quickly walked through the entrance and saw the two people.
"Brother, who is this?" She looked at Qin Feng with curiosity, wondering about the relationship between this man and Fan Xian.
When the two men met, Teng Zijing and Wang Qinian were both outside, which suggests that Qin Feng and Fan Xian's relationship is closer, or more secretive.
But now, I can see what this means.
"Ruoruo, this is my friend Brother Ye, his full name is Qi Ye, you can also call him Brother Ye." Fan Xian pointed at Qin Feng and said.
"Brother Ye, this is my sister Fan Ruoruo. You two should get to know each other. You can definitely trust her!" Fan Xian emphasized the word trust again.
After all, the current situation is a bit special, and safety is the most important thing.
"Ruoruo greets Brother Ye."
Seeing Fan Xian being so serious, Fan Ruoruo quickly bowed.
"Qi Ye greets Miss Ruoruo." Qin Feng also bowed slightly.
Fan Ruoruo already calls him Brother Ye, so call her Miss Ruoruo more intimately.
"Brother Ye, just call me Ruoruo. You and I have such a good relationship, it would be awkward to add the word 'girl'!" Fan Ruoruo said sweetly.
She suddenly remembered the table of food she saw at Fan Xian's place a few days ago. Could it be that it was there at that time?
"Don't be polite, both of you. Please sit down. I have something to talk about."
Fan Xian asked the two to sit down, and then said.
"Ruoruo, you have to keep Brother Ye's identity a secret for both of us. No one else can know it. Remember?"
"Neither can Dad or Mom?"
"Yes!" Fan Xian nodded. "That's why I let you know. I want you to be more helpful in the mansion."
Upon hearing this, Fan Ruoruo said, "Thank you, brother, and Brother Ye for your trust. Ruoruo will definitely take good care of this matter."
"There's no need to be so serious."
Qin Feng coughed and said, "Normally there shouldn't be anything to worry about, just don't let the servants in if there's nothing to worry about."
"Ruoruo understands."
After saying that, Fan Ruoruo handed the letter in her hand to Fan Xian.
"I almost forgot, this is the invitation sent by the Second Prince."
Fan Xian took it, looked at it, and casually placed it on the table.
"How is it?" Fan Ruoruo asked hurriedly.
"He's still trying to win me over, saying that something went wrong with the last banquet, so he's going to host another one at Zuichunlou this time. Tonight, he's booked the entire restaurant."
Hearing this, Fan Ruoruo glanced at Qin Feng and found that he looked normal.
Then he said tentatively: "My brother and the princess have already settled their marriage. I have also been to Prime Minister Lin's residence these days. Prime Minister Lin also praised my brother highly in the court. It is normal for the Second Prince to invite me."
She said these words to see if Fan Xian would hide it from Qin Feng, in order to truly test the relationship between the two.
"That's normal, but I don't want to go." Fan Xian shook his head helplessly.
After hearing Fan Xian's response, Fan Ruoruo knew that there was no need to hide this matter from Qin Feng.
"The matter of Lin Gong may be related to the Crown Prince and the eldest princess. If we don't unite with the Second Prince, the pressure will be great." Fan Ruoruo frowned.
In the current situation, the Second Prince has been showing goodwill to Fan Xian. No one knows how crazy this guy is, so the best solution at this time is to cooperate with the Second Prince.
“It’s just appearance.”
Fan Xian said, "On the surface, Lin Gong treats me very well. Now Wan'er and I are going to get married, but Lin Gong was imprisoned because of me after all."
"This matter is like a thorn in Lin Xiang's chest. It will explode one day."
"That is to say, Minister Lin will always be on the opposite side of me. If I get too close to the Second Prince now, and Minister Lin cooperates with the Crown Prince in the future, will the Second Prince give up on me under pressure?"
"After all, the only bargaining chip I have is the power over the inner treasury. If Minister Lin and I are against each other, the power over the inner treasury may become unstable."
In the TV series, it’s because Lin Gong died.
This directly cut off Lin Ruofu's retreat, so he only had one way to go, which was to let Lin Wan'er marry Fan Xian, so that the Lin family could survive.
But now, Lin Gong is not dead!
Moreover, Emperor Qing used this matter to pressure Lin Wan'er's engagement, and Lin Ruofu was resentful towards Fan Xian.
The same must be true for Lin Gong!
Maybe this won’t have any impact in the short term, but over time, something big will definitely happen!
"Lin Gong is clearly guilty of treason and collaborating with the enemy. How can Prime Minister Lin be so unreasonable as to put the blame on me?!" Fan Ruoruo said indignantly.
"Ruoruo, some things cannot be explained by reason."
Fan Xian sighed and said, "Human hearts are the most unpredictable things. I just hope that my engagement with Wan'er will go smoothly. As for the rest, I can't control it, and I don't want to control it!"
"So brother, you won't side with either the Crown Prince or the Second Prince, and will only work under Prime Minister Lin?" Fan Ruoruo asked.
"That's right!" Fan Xian nodded.
"As long as I follow Minister Lin's lead, I won't make any mistakes. Even if Minister Lin opposes me in the future, the Crown Prince and the Second Prince will not suppress me."
"And if Prime Minister Lin takes away my power over the inner treasury, that would be even better. The Crown Prince and the Second Prince would no longer keep an eye on me!"
Thinking of this, Fan Xian even felt a little relieved.
On the side, Qin Feng watched and shook his head.
Although Fan Xian has grown up now, he still doesn't understand.
From childhood to adulthood, he has always been under the control of others. He is just a pawn!
So at this moment, even though his idea was correct, Emperor Qing would not let him be so calm.
Ye Qingmei's son!
With his identity, he can never expect a peaceful life.
