Episode 16: Chen Pingping sends black cavalry to capture Si Lili

The waiter hurriedly told Fan Xian that the girl who lived across the door had seen these meals on the pretext of checking the food situation in the store. Hearing this, Wang Qinian, who was lying on the ground pretending to be dead, rolled up and rushed to the opposite side. But he was still a step too late. The room was empty. Wang Qinian smelled the incense commonly used in Zuixianju - Shen Guang - left in the room. The scent made me conclude that the person just now must be Si Lili.

After the two asked the waiter at the inn where the manager was, they quickly chased in the direction of Pijia Qiu. After chasing through a bamboo forest, Wang Qinian found fresh horse dung on the ground. After identification, it was confirmed that the horse dung was exactly what he had eaten at the inn. Horse feed. Seeing Si Lili right ahead, Fan Xian always felt that everything was going too smoothly. Si Lili knew that he was proficient in poisons, but he only poisoned her with ordinary poisons, and then told the shopkeeper where she was going, as if she was deliberately waiting for them to catch up. . But time was urgent at the moment, and he didn't care much. He could only wait until he caught up with Si Lili.

Wang Qinian judged based on the fatigue of Si Lili's horse that he would be able to catch up with Si Lili tomorrow morning. In fact, not long after, they found Si Lili in a pavilion on the roadside. There, wait for them to come forward. When Fan Xian saw Si Lili, he asked her if she was a Northern Qi spy. Si Lili nodded, but did not admit that she was the instigator of the Niulan Street assassination. Fan Xian knew that this matter was not as simple as it seemed. He wanted to take Si Lili back to Beijing for trial, but Si Lili remained calm and asked them if they knew why he poisoned them to come. Fan Xian's head A flash of inspiration occurred when he thought of the store owner mentioning that bandits were rampant near Armor Hill. As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of bandits who had been ambushing here surrounded the two of them. Fan Xian then realized that these bandits were actually Northern Qi spies. .

Si Lili smiled proudly at the two of them, got on his horse and continued to leave. But just as she was not far away, she heard the roar of horse hooves getting closer and closer. Nearly a hundred elite cavalry in black armor forced her back to Fan Xian step by step. Wang Qinian recognized that these people were the most elite people directly under the dean - the Black Cavalry. Wang Qinian guessed that since the Black Rider was here, the dean should not be far away. Fan Xian was about to meet this legendary figure, but the director of the Sixth Bureau, Shadow, told them that the dean had not come, but asked him to He sent a message to Fan Xian to let go and do it. Even if the sky falls, he will hold it back again. When Fan Xian needs him most, he will appear by his side.

Wang Qinian whispered to Fan Xian that this Lord Shadow was recognized by the Inspection Institute as the most terrifying assassin. He had been following the dean all year round, but no one had seen his appearance, and no one knew his name. Fan Xian looked at Si Lili, who was surrounded by everyone, and couldn't help but sigh. Thousands of riders swept across, and all the tricks turned into jokes. This is the real power.

Wang Qinian was worried that someone would come to silence him on the way back to Beijing, so he suggested that Fan Xian act in secret. Fan Xian did the opposite and took out a curtain to escort the Northern Qi secret agent Si Lili back to the capital. When he arrived in the city, he told everyone he met. Soon, the news reached the second prince and the eldest princess. . The eldest princess was playing chess with the prince. When she heard the news, she frowned and half-truthfully proposed to kill Fan Xian before he came to the capital, so that his engagement with Wan'er would not count. Fortunately, the prince was worried about this. It would arouse Emperor Qing's suspicion, so she said lightly that it was just a joke.

On the way back, people kept trying to take Si Lili away from Fan Xian. Fan Xian told Si Lili that no matter which side she fell on, she would be tortured. Only by cooperating with him could she save her life. Si Lili is very thoughtful, and now this secret is her last magic weapon to save her life. Naturally, she is unwilling to reveal it easily, and Fan Xian is helpless. After finally returning to Kyoto, when he arrived at the gate of the city, several people from the Ministry of Justice and others had gathered there, waiting for him. Fan Xian took out his ID card, but the leader asked him to take out the documents for the appointment. Fan Xian was waiting for him He was in trouble, but fortunately Yan Ruohai arrived with His Majesty's official documents and successfully rescued him.

Fan Xian thought that Yan Ruohai would let him preside over the case of the judge, but Yan Ruohai told him that now that he had arrived in Kyoto, the matter should be handed over to the forensic investigation institute, and as a client, he should avoid suspicion. Although Fan Xian was unwilling, he also We can only hand over Si Lili to him. Fan Ruoruo was unhappy when she heard the news that Fan Xian had successfully captured Si Lili and returned to Beijing. After thinking about it, she took the initiative to go to the East Palace to see the prince. She told the prince that she was willing to help him monitor Fan Xian and seek a chance for Fan's family to survive in the future. The prince was dubious about her surrender, but he did not refuse.

After breaking up with Wang Qinian, Fan Xian felt sad, so he went to the Royal Courtyard to see Lin Wan'er, hoping to have a chat with her to calm down. Lin Wan'er knew that he would not be willing to give up, so she suggested that he go to Ye Ling'er, because she had gone to Zuixianju to find Si Lili, but two days later there was news that he fell into the water and was rescued. She might have seen something. While the two were chatting, the second young master Lin Gong suddenly rushed in. He unceremoniously drew his sword and slashed at Fan Xian. Fan Xian did not want to fight with him, so he fled with a few feints.

After leaving the Royal Courtyard, Fan Xian came to Ye Ling'er and asked her why she had fallen into the water a few days ago. Ye Ling'er's pale face turned pale when she heard this. She thought about it again and again, and asked Fan Xian not to stop. Keep asking because she can't risk the entire Ye family. Fan Xian didn't want to embarrass her, but secretly guessed that the status of the person behind it must be high.
