Fan Xiaodao saw that the middle-aged man was dressed luxuriously and had a sincere attitude. He looked in the direction he pointed and saw a young man in rich clothes, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, sitting alone in front of a small square table. There were several exquisite things in front of him.

dishes, a jar of wine, and nodded to the two of them.

Fan Xiaodao asked Bai Wuchang: "Your friend?"

Bai Wuchang shook his head, "I don't know."

Fan Xiaodao smiled and said, "We are destined to meet each other when we are away from home. Why don't we talk about it in the past." After that, he pulled Bai Wuchang and walked over. He cupped his fists slightly and said, "Fan Xiaodao, I'm here to catch the six gates. Brother I don't know."

What is Taigao’s last name?”

The young man said: "The lonely shadow on the Hanjiang River, old friends in the rivers and lakes, why should we have known each other before meeting. I have been away from Beijing for several years, and I came late today. I was turned away. If I don't laugh close by, I am still shy about being close to home. I can't help but sigh a few times.

, it happened that the brother and wife were looking at the meal and sighed. It happened that I had fine wine and delicious food here. It was boring to drink alone, so I took it upon myself to do something to make friends. "

Fan Xiaodao smiled and said: "Miss Li and I are just friends, not what you think."

The young man was stunned when he heard this, then smiled, and gave Bai Wuchang a fist, "I'm sorry."

Bai Wuchang looked at the man and saw that his clothes, the folding fan on the table, and the bright yellow jade pendant around his waist were all extraordinary things. He asked, "I wonder what the young master does?"

The young man said: "I am doing some small business in Jinling and I just have some spare money."

Fan Xiaodao said, "Looking at your attire alone, it's worth a lot. The two guards outside the door are also top-notch masters in the world. I've seen a lot of merchants like you. There is no one like you. Although I'm greedy for drinking,

But I won't drink this stupid wine for no reason, and this meal is not interesting, so thank you." After that, he was about to leave.

The young man stood up, stopped Fan Xiaodao, cupped his fists and saluted, "Brother, wait a minute, I was the one who was rude just now. My surname is Zhu and my given name is Yan."

Fan Xiaodao was shocked when he heard this, "His Royal Highness?"

He couldn't help but take another look at the young man in front of him. He was twenty-four or five years old. He had a youthful spirit between his eyebrows, a slightly convex forehead, and sky-reaching lines. He was indeed somewhat similar to the emperor he saw during the day. He heard from Zhao Xing before

As I said, His Majesty has an only son today. Since the Emperor firmly believes in the art of immortality and is not very enthusiastic about matters between men and women, the royal family's fertility problems and the inheritance of the family line have become a constant problem. Because he listened to the Taoist slander that the two kings were incompatible, he was banished.

Going to Liudu is said to be an experience, but in fact it is out of sight and out of mind.

Zhu Yandao: "I have a desire to make friends with you, but I didn't tell you before. I was afraid that Brother Fan would have some scruples after learning about my identity, so I lied. Please forgive me!"

Fan Xiaodao laughed and said to Bai Wuchang, "The prince is treating us tonight, we are in for a treat!"

The three of them sat down, and several guards stood guard outside the door. Only the middle-aged man was left to pour wine for the three of them. When Fan Xiaodao made friends, he didn't look at the other person's background, but only based on their temperament. After learning his identity, he didn't like it.

Not restrained, but Bai Wuchang, with a strange look on his face, looking thoughtful.

After a few glasses of wine, Fan Xiaodao asked, "You are the prince. Even if the city gate is closed and you want to enter the city, it won't be a problem, right?"

Zhu Yandao, "To be honest with Brother Fan, my motorcade is still under repair in Jinan Prefecture in name, and will arrive in Beijing in three or two days. I went north along the canal with a few confidants, and paid a private visit incognito. I wanted to know more about the people.

The second reason for the local customs is to avoid being chased by the enemy."

Fan Xiaodao was stunned, "Pursuit? Who is so bold?"

Zhu Yan said: "I... after all, I have a special status. This time when I return to the capital, my father has another appointment for me, which will inevitably affect the interests of some people. They are not willing to see me return to the capital alive, so killing me before entering the capital is the best option.

Economical method.”

Fan Xiaodao immediately thought of Princess Taiping, a young but powerful figure in the capital. Ethically speaking, Zhu Yan should call her sister-in-law, but he was just making random guesses. After all, it was their old Zhu.

It is not convenient for him to talk nonsense about the internal affairs of the family.

Since ancient times, there has been a struggle for power, and there is no family affection at all.

"So I didn't tell the truth about my identity just now, but in fact there is something unspeakable."

Fan Xiaodao raised his glass and said: "Understood, I'd like to give you a toast. Do it first as a token of respect!"

Zhu Yan laughed loudly and drank it all in one gulp.

“Good wine!”

Zhu Yan said: "If you like the thirty-year-old Shaoxing flower carvings, ask Yuncai to prepare a few altars for you." Yuncai was the middle-aged eunuch accompanying him. His Royal Highness mentioned it casually, and he remembered it in his heart.

Zhu Yan added: "I have no other skills, but I am very particular about eating and drinking. When I return to Beijing in the future, if Brother Fan wants to have his teeth beaten as a sacrifice, just come to me. You are at Liumen, so you should know my palace."

"

Fan Xiaodao said: "Then I won't have to bother you anymore."

Bai Wuchang didn't touch the cup, so Fan Xiaodao asked, "Why don't you drink?"

Bai Wuchang said, "You can't drink alcohol these days."

Fan Xiaodao did not force himself, and the two started drinking. After a deep conversation, Fan Xiaodao discovered that this Prince, during his three years in Jinling, he had visited almost all the towns in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, returning mulberry trees to farming, and selling salt to merchants.

He was very knowledgeable about the Japanese rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River, and he had a passion for governing the world and saving the country. He was really not an ordinary prince who enjoyed eating, drinking, and having fun. Although he didn't understand what Zhu Yan said, Fan Xiaodao really looked at him with admiration.

As soon as the chat box was opened, the two of them started talking freely.

Fan Xiaodao talked about chasing murderers and thieves, and various bizarre cases in the capital. Zhu Yan listened with interest. Bai Wujian and the two chatted happily. They sat quietly without saying much, but the man named Yuncai

The eunuch's eyes fell on her from time to time, making her a little uncomfortable.

A jar of wine fell down.

Shaoxing Huadiao is sweet in the mouth but has great stamina. Although Fan Xiaodao drinks well, it is inevitable that he will be a little drunk. Zhu Yan is even more drunk and blushes. Fortunately, he has been taught strictly since he was a child and has not lost his temper.

Fan Xiaodao felt like peeing and wanted to go out.

Zhu Yan laughed and said, "Let's go together."

The two of them staggered to the yard. This kind of chicken and feather shop has the toilet in the southeast. Ordinary people don't pay much attention to hygiene. The smell is very strong. The two frowned. Fan Xiaodao said, "It's really not fastidious. It seems that it's coming to the door."

Find a place to solve it outside."

Zhu Yan said, "If everyone abides by the rules, there will be no such problems. The current situation means that we cannot be polite people."

Fan Xiaodao said with a smile: "It will kill people if it gets involved."

The two untied their belts, and Fan Xiaodao, still drunk, said, "The majestic Prince of the Ming Dynasty, the future Emperor, is having sex with me, a vulgar person, in the wilderness tonight. If word gets out, wouldn't it make the world laugh at me?"

?”

Zhu Yan said: "Why should I care about what the world thinks?"

Fan Xiaodao said: "You won't kill people and silence them in the future, right?"

Zhu Yan said: "Who do you think this king is? Zhou Jie, Yang Guang and others? By the way, that Miss Li just now is your confidante?"

Fan Xiaodao's face turned red, "It doesn't count."

Zhu Yan smiled and said, "Young people, if you like it, pursue it boldly to avoid regrets in the future."

"It sounds like you are so old."

Zhu Yan sighed and said: "As members of the Zhu family, we have no chance of love since we were born."

There seems to be a sense of vicissitudes in this sentence.

Fan Xiaodao understood that as a member of the royal family, he was not the one to make the final decision on marriage. Thinking of this, he felt that being an emperor and a prince was no good. He could not even get the person he liked. No matter how high an official he was,

What's the use?

Just then, warning signs suddenly appeared.

Whizzing!

Two arrows roared towards him.

Although Fan Xiaodao was drinking, his consciousness was still sharp. When he heard the sound of breaking through the sky, he immediately became alert, caught the arrow's movement, and pounced, knocking Zhu Yan to the ground.

Ding ding!

The two arrows passed by the two men's bodies and sank into the wall, leaving only two arrow feathers exposed.

What a domineering arrow!

Fan Xiaodao suddenly woke up and was no longer drunk. He made a prompt decision, pulled Zhu Yan up and ran towards the door. There was a sound of breaking the air behind him. Fan Xiaodao grabbed Zhu Yan, his internal energy flowed, he accelerated suddenly, rushed through the door, and closed the door smoothly.

.

boom!

The wooden door was shattered by arrows.

"There's an assassin!"

The six guards at the door heard the call for help and gathered around them.

Whoosh whoosh!

Several more arrows were shot out, but before they could get closer, the six people were hit by arrows one after another. They immediately fell to the ground and died. Fan Xiaodao took a look and saw that their chests were penetrated, and there was a hole as big as the mouth of a bowl!

Fan Xiaodao was horrified, knowing that he had encountered a strong opponent. Fortunately, he evaded in time. If he was shot in the body, even if it was a little scratched, he would not be shattered into a pulp. Yang Qing told him that the best archery person can shoot

The internal force is poured into the arrow body, and after the arrow is hit, the internal force pours out, which is extremely powerful.

The two hid behind the wall next to the south door.

The distance from the south door to the room is only five or six feet.

But these five or six feet were the distance between them and the God of Death. Fan Xiaodao felt an unprecedented crisis. There should only be one assassin, but the six guards were hit by arrows almost at the same time. How did he do it?

I haven't figured it out either.
