Build the Traveler Alliance from Scratch

Chapter 596 The Emperor’s Imperial Decree
  Hearing Ya Mu's words, Fan Xian was startled for a moment, then shook his head mockingly.

"I am the eldest. Without my marriage to Wan'er, I would just be an illegitimate child..."

Before Fan Xian could finish speaking, Yamu shook his head and interrupted him: "Fan Xian, I don't think your mentality has been corrected yet."

Fan Xian glanced at him and said, "You don't want to say that we are time travellers, so we have to treat the world with a detached attitude, right?"

Yamu shook his head and said: "You don't have to be superior to others. This is too extreme. I just want to say that you don't always have to think in a lower position. Even if you don't have any confidence, don't you still have me? "

"In the worst case, let's flip the table, and I'll break into the palace and make trouble in Kyoto with you!"

Fan Xian's heart warmed, and he shook his head with a smile: "I know Brother Mu, you are not afraid of anything, but it is easy to be wanton and difficult to restrain. Now I am no longer alone. If I really act like a desperado, where will my family be left? "

"..."

Yamu frowned, thinking that the review time limit would come in a few days, so he shook his head and said, "It's up to you!"

After saying that, Yamu turned around and walked towards Fan's mansion.

When he returned to the door of the guest room, he suddenly stopped.

"For Uncle Fan's sake, I'll give you ten seconds."

Ya Mu stood at the door with his back to the yard and said calmly: "Ten, nine, eight, seven..."

As Ya Mu began to count down, the guards hiding in the dark couldn't help but hesitate.

They were ordered by Fan Jian to monitor Ya Mu, but they also received instructions from Fan Jian not to conflict with Master Mu head-on.

Seeing that Yamu's countdown was about to end, the leading guard gritted his teeth and whispered: "Let's go!"

The guards retreated one after another and disappeared quietly into the courtyard.

Sensing the leaving Qi, Yamu opened the door and walked into the room.

……

……

After that, Fan Mansion spent three days in a peaceful routine.

During these three days, Yamu would occasionally go out with Fan Xian during the day and accompany him to work in the bookstore. At night, he would return to his room and start cramming Qing Yunian's novels and TV series.

The main reason why they work together is that this world is too strange, much like a fusion of the world of novels and the world of TV series.

Yamu felt that if he only watched one type, it might not match the real plot, so he tried hard to read them all.

After reading it, Yamu also knew the real mastermind behind the assassination.

However, he did not tell Fan Xian now. After all, that person's identity was complicated and he had a huge entanglement with Fan Xian. If revealed now, Fan Xian and Lin Waner's marriage might be in trouble again.

"Tat-tat--"

Fierce footsteps came from outside the door.

Yamu lay on the bed, put away the tablet in his hand, and turned to look at the door.

He had long sensed that familiar aura, which was none other than Fan Xian, the indigenous traveler of this world.

"Squeak-"

Fan Xian pushed open the door without noticing anyone else, glanced at Ya Mu on the bed, then strode over, took Ya Mu's wrist, and asked him to follow him out.

Yamu sighed: "What are you going to do again?"

Fan Xian changed his previous behavior and said seriously: "Go to the Supervisory Yuan, Si Lili has been captured!"

Yamu was slightly startled and said in surprise: "So quickly...who sent you the message? Is it Wang Qinian, the clerk of the Supervisory Yuan?"

Two days ago, officials from the Supervisory Yuan came to the Fan Mansion to question Fan Xian, the person involved in the Niulan Street assassination case.

Although the official was only in the seventh rank, due to the special nature of the Overwatch Council, he was not afraid at all even when facing a wealthy family like Fan Mansion, and put on an iron-faced appearance of doing business in a business-like manner.

Fan Xian was a little unhappy with his rude appearance, so he took out his Tis badge.

Unexpectedly, after seeing the waist badge, the official's expression changed drastically and he knelt down on one knee directly towards Fan Xian.

It was at this time that Fan Xian learned what kind of position the Supervisory Yuan Chief was.

It is a transcendent existence that is independent of the various parts of the Overwatch Council. It only needs to take orders from the president of the Overwatch Council and is at the same level as the head of the eight major offices.

After learning the news, Fan Xian was first surprised by his teacher Fei Jie's act of handing him the badge, and then began to think about how to use this status to develop his own power in the Overwatch Council.

The Wang Qinian mentioned by Yamu is the Overwatch Council official who has been having a heated fight with Fan Xian these days.

Hearing Ya Mu's words, Fan Xian shook his head: "It's not Wang Qinian. He was sent to the city by me. He just came back half an hour ago. I haven't had time to meet him. I guessed what happened to Si Lili." of."

Ya Mu was even more surprised: "Did you guess it?"

Fan Xian nodded and whispered: "Last night, the director of the Supervisory Yuan, Chen Pingping, returned to Beijing and was summoned to the palace by the emperor's urgent order. They had a long talk all night. Now everyone in the officialdom of the capital knows the news."

"I inquired about his whereabouts when he returned to the capital, and found that he did not take the official road closest to Kyoto, but turned a corner to the north, so I guessed that he should have gone to arrest the Northern Qi secret agent Si Lili in person... "

Yamu widened his eyes slightly and said in surprise: "Chen Pingping is going back to Beijing now?"      That's not right, whether it is a novel plot or a TV series plot, Chen Pingping will have to wait for a while before she can return to Beijing. Why is the plot in this world developing so much? quick.

... Could it be the butterfly effect of his time traveling?

Ya Mu frowned and thought.

Fan Xian thought that Ya Mu was thinking about the meaning of Chen Pingping's return to Beijing, so he immediately urged: "Don't think about it. First, accompany me to the Overwatch Prison. That place is filled with ghosts and ghosts, and there are so many masters. I don't feel at ease without you by my side." .”

"……Fine."

Ya Mu sighed, stood up and left the room with Fan Xian.

On the way, Yamu suddenly asked: "By the way, don't you plan to continue investigating?"

"That was on the surface. This time we covered our faces and only entered the prison as supervisors of the Overwatch Council. No one will know."

Fan Xian explained in a low voice as he and Ya Mu walked outside Fan's mansion.

He had made all arrangements. After leaving the house, he would first go to the bookstore that had not yet opened, where he would change clothes and disguise himself, and then quietly transfer to the Overwatch Council's prison.

Fan Xian thought well, but unfortunately, before they could leave Fan's house, an uninvited guest came to the door first and stopped them.

……

Three minutes later, Fan Xian was kneeling in the lobby of Fan Mansion with black streaks on his head, patiently listening to the eunuch in front of him read out the imperial edict in his hand.

Behind him, his sister Fan Ruoruo, his brother Fan Sizhe, and Liu Ruyu, the current mistress of Fan Mansion, all appeared here, kneeling with Fan Xian to listen to the imperial edict.

Above their heads, Yamu sat on the beam, quietly looking at the lobby below.

It was naturally impossible for Ya Mu to kneel before the imperial edict, so when he found the eunuch coming to the door, he hid.

But Fan Xian couldn't hide, because this imperial edict was delivered to him.

At first, Yamu thought of taking Fan Xian away by force, so as not to make the time travelers kneel down before the imperial edict and ruin the alliance's reputation. But then he changed his mind - this Fan Xian seems to be the emperor's son!

Although the emperor's father was not very qualified, he had fostered Fan Xian in a courtier's home since he was a child, and he did not even have the status of a prince.

But no matter what, he is the biological father of Fan Xian's body after all.

There seems to be nothing wrong with my son kneeling down to me, as he regards it as repaying the favor of giving birth.

In the future, when swords are facing each other, we will be more confident...

Yamu thought this while quietly listening to the edict read out by the eunuch.

The content of the imperial edict is actually very simple. In the Niulan Street assassination case, Fan Xian took action and killed the enemy's spy. He had made great contributions to the country and was specially awarded the post of Assistant Law Master of Taichang Temple.

The edict can be explained clearly in a few sentences, but the edict is extremely lengthy.

All kinds of gorgeous words came out one after another, which made Yamu feel a little sleepy.

Finally, he finished reciting the imperial edict. With the help of his second concubine Liu Ruyu, Fan Xian followed the rules and accepted the imperial edict after saying long live and then thanking him.

Then, Liu Ruyu handed over a banknote without any fuss, and the eunuch accepted it skillfully, and then left with satisfaction.

"Where do you put this thing?" Fan Xian held the imperial edict and glanced at Liu Ruyu and asked, "You can't hold it all the time, right?"

Liu Ruyu glared at him and said angrily: "Although the mansion often receives edicts, we can't talk about it... Just give it to me. There is a special room in the mansion for edicts."

There is even a dedicated room!
  It seems that this Fan Mansion's favor is indeed a bit unusual...

Fan Xian raised his eyebrows and handed the imperial decree in his hand to Liu Ruyu.

After Liu Ruyu and Fan Sizhe left the lobby, Fan Xian raised his head and said, "Brother Mu, you can come down now!"

Yamu jumped down from the beam, looked at Liu Ruyu's back and said thoughtfully: "Master Xielu of Taichang Temple... The emperor suddenly gave you an official title, there must be some deep meaning, right?"

Fan Xian frowned and said, "I think so too, but I'm not sure what the meaning is yet."

It may be to compensate for his assassination, or it may be a reward instead of a warning, so that he will not pursue the case again after taking advantage...

Fan Ruoruo opened her eyes wide and looked at Fan Xian and Ya Mu who were frowning and thinking in surprise, and finally couldn't help but said: "Brother, Brother Mu Shi, why do I think you are overthinking?"

"How can this imperial edict have any profound meaning?"

"Taichang Temple Xielu Lang, isn't it an official position that every princess's consort must hold before getting married?"

Hearing Fan Ruoruo's words, Fan Xian and Ya Mu were both startled, and then suddenly realized.

"So that's how it is..."

Fan Xian was a little embarrassed, but he quickly calmed down and changed the subject in a low voice: "Ruoruo, yesterday I asked you to go to the Royal Courtyard and help me visit your sister-in-law. Did you hand over the letter...?"

As expected, Fan Ruoruo was attracted by the gossip and said with a smile: "Pass it over. My sister-in-law listened to my brother's words and talked it through with the maid. Now she eats well every day secretly and her health will be good. She just heard that her brother was assassinated." Finally, I was a little worried, but I was in a hurry yesterday and my sister-in-law’s best friend Ye Ling’er was nearby, so I couldn’t write you a reply.”

Fan Xian thought for a while and said again: "If you go there again today, just say that I will be there tomorrow night at the latest."

Fan Ruoruo's eyes lit up immediately and she nodded in agreement.
