Chapter 308 Breaking up with the Second Prince.

The second prince frowned and looked somewhat displeased.

Indeed, today he hosted a banquet for Fan Xian to welcome him, and his intention was to ease the relationship.

At this point, unless he rebels, there is no possibility of defeating the opponent in a head-on battle.

He was very clear about his position, which was nothing more than the prince's whetstone. Fighting with the prince for so many years should have made him see some things clearly, and his mind was exhausted.

He didn't want to waste time like this any longer.
To win over Fan Xian and let him fight to the death with the prince. And all he needed to do was to glance at Ye Ling'er silently.
Fan Xian's action undoubtedly spoiled the mood and embarrassed himself.

Today's stage was built by himself, but it was precisely for all the officials present to see how majestic and how unsightly Fan Xian was!
The Second Prince smiled but did not speak. Instead, the Deputy Envoy of the Privy Council beside him narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "I have heard of Master Fan's reputation before. He is not only talented and brilliant in writing, but also a great man of the time. But now there are all the masters present, including several princes and heirs. Can't we let this little actor sing a song?"

This deputy envoy's words were sharp and incisive, and he had also fought his way up step by step on the battlefield.

They were not afraid of Fan Xian's power because he had the Supervisory Council and he was also the Deputy Envoy of the Privy Council, so they made sarcastic remarks.

"Your Excellency is not wrong, but I have said it before. Now Miss Sang Wen only plays the piano for Dean Chen. If you want to hear her sing, you can go to Chen Garden and ask Dean Chen!"

The three words "Chen Pingping" flashed through everyone's mind.

The heavy weight made everyone's faces look gloomy.

"Why do you have to do this? Miss Mingxue, why don't you just sing a song for me?"

After the other actor responded, the second prince laughed, raised the wine glass in his hand and said loudly: "Come on, let's drink together!"

"drink wine!"

The eldest prince, who had been silent for a long time, shouted loudly, which was really earth-shattering and pulled everyone's thoughts back. At the same time, the meaning expressed was also the same, this matter was exposed!

The heroic posture of drinking made the Deputy Envoy of the Privy Council, who was also a military man, frown, but he also admired it in his heart.

It is a pity that such a person cannot inherit the throne.

He drank the wine in his hand, and a man appeared behind the deputy envoy of the Privy Council and whispered in his ear.

At the same time, one of the second prince's newly recruited swordsmen stepped forward and whispered.

How could these situations be hidden from Fan Xian's eyes?

Fan Xian smiled slightly, drank the wine bottle of about three taels in his hand, and turned his wrist to show everyone.

Bang!
"Fan Xian!" The deputy envoy of the Privy Council stood up abruptly and slammed the wine glass in his hand heavily on the table.

The expression on the second prince's face at this moment was as gloomy as water, and indescribably sad.

When everyone looked at the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, he just glared at Fan Xian, and then left after a moment. Everyone was shocked. What happened that made the deputy envoy ignore the etiquette and leave by throwing the cup? "Everyone knows what happened today, right? I survived by chance, but I disappointed some people. The other side even used the city defense crossbows, but I am still sitting here. Do you know why?"

Silence, silence is the palace tonight.

No one responded. This was related to the city defense crossbow. Once such a thing was deployed, it would definitely cause quite a stir, and someone with high military power would definitely be involved.

No matter who it is, it would be inappropriate for us to jump out rashly.

The eldest prince coughed lightly, indicating that Fan Xian should restrain himself. But Fan Xian smiled slightly and didn't care.

Since I decided to take the path of a powerful official, I have to let everyone know my strength! But if Yan Bingyun was present, he would definitely say that this is not the path of a powerful official, but the path of a lonely official or even a dead official!

He really made enemies everywhere and cut off his own path to survival!

But he had to follow Fan Xian's orders and kill any suspicious people as well as the last forces recruited by the Second Prince himself!

"The only reason I'm still alive is because I'm crazy enough! I'm powerful but also very vengeful!"

Fan Xian knew that the methods used by the current Supervisory Council were very similar to those used by the Jinyiwei during the Ming Dynasty.
Although Fan Xian's crazy act tonight was revenge, the matter involved was very serious. Killing other people, including the second prince's newly recruited family swordsmen, was not a big deal. They were the second prince's men, but they had no official positions. Killing them was fine. As long as it was done cleanly without leaving any traces, even Fan Xian's act of breaking off relations with his subjects would not be a big deal.

But the Supervisory Commission is not only targeting these people today, but also several officials
Although these people held low positions, they were also paid by the emperor. If the Censorate killed people without permission, who knows what kind of trouble it would cause.

It has to be said that Fan Xian hides a crazy heart beneath his quiet appearance.

But he had to do so. Only Fan Xian understood that his revenge could be taken roughly, but it had to be quick! He didn't know when Northern Qi would take action. Maybe it would be tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or half a month later. Of course, it was also possible that it had already started!

"Anzhi, does it have to be like this?"

The assassination this time was not carried out by the Second Prince, but his people were also involved.
"I just don't understand, when I was working for His Majesty in Jiangnan, why were there always people in Kyoto who liked to stir up trouble? Now that I'm back, why are they not allowing me to make any move?"

Those who were still unaware of the situation at the table were slightly stunned, wondering what was going on.
How come the atmosphere suddenly became so tense when we were just drinking? It shouldn't be just for a singer, right?
"Master Fan!" The second prince simply stopped pretending to be a 'respectful brother' and even changed his address. "With your current status and position, why bother complaining about grievances? If you want to gain something, you must lose something! Don't you think that what you have now is what you deserve?"

"Hahaha! Your Highness is right. This man deserves nothing. He just has a good father and a good mother." As soon as the laughter died down, Fan Xian's face turned cold. "I just want you all to recall what my original temperament and methods were like!"

To be honest, Fan Xian's momentum was mainly directed at the Second Prince, which made him feel an uncontrollable chill in his heart.

At the same time, he was also thinking about the follow-up of this matter. He didn't understand whether Fan Xian was really just seeking revenge? What benefit could he get from this matter?
Although he was thinking about it, he responded, "Then we'll see."

"Everyone, I am not very drunk, so I will take my leave now."

Fan Xian stood up, apologized to the eldest prince and Prince Jing, then took Lin Wan'er's hand and strode away.

Obviously, Fan Xian and the Second Prince had a falling out!
