Chapter 71 Entering Kyoto

Chapter 71 Entering Kyoto (First Order)
Qin Feng is a man with strong action ability. When he thinks of something, he will start to do it.

Leaving for Kyoto is a big deal.

Generally speaking, such a big event requires a lot of preparation, and you also need to say goodbye to your family.

We also need to tell the Liu family.

After all, their family has been well taken care of by the Liu family over the past six months. His parents opened a small shop in the city, and because of Liu Shouren, they have had no trouble at all.

As for Qin Yun, the academy also provided a lot of convenience, and his master also taught him attentively.

Although this is still far inferior to Qin Feng's life-saving grace to the Liu brothers and sisters, it is already very good.

And after the New Year, when people from Qingzhou City came to Pingchuan County to look for Doctor Zhou, they were all dealt with by Liu Shouren.

Qin Feng naturally returned the favor and never missed the monthly home visits to see patients, making sure that all the Liu family members were healthy and free of disease.

However, Qin Feng did not like the feeling of parting.

It’s not that I feel sad, it’s just that I feel it’s unnecessary.

So Qin Feng simply packed up, left a letter in the house, and left on horseback.

There were not many words in the letter, just saying that he would travel around Qing Kingdom, practice medicine everywhere, and improve his medical skills, so don't worry about him, he will send letters home from time to time.

I'd like to trouble my father to inform the Liu family.

Although this incident was very sudden, Qin Feng's parents did not find it abrupt.

Because a long time ago, Qin Feng had expressed his intention to practice medicine everywhere, which could be considered a preventive measure.

When this letter was seen, Qin Feng had already left Pingchuan County for half a day.

At this time, he was eating at an inn, and the waiter was feeding the horse with fine feed.

Qin Feng has done his best for everyone in the Qin family.

The family moved into the county town and was protected by the county magistrate. The parents lived a happy life and the younger sister began to go to school.

My eldest brother has passed the county examination. The difficulty of the subsequent prefectural and imperial examinations is about the same, so he should have no problem. He has been nominated as a scholar.

The next step depends on whether he can pass the provincial examination. If he passes, he can go to Kyoto next year to participate in the spring examination held every three years.

In this situation, Qin Feng no longer owes these people anything.

After eating and drinking, Qin Feng paid the money and continued on his journey on horseback.

Pingchuan County belongs to Jiangnan Road, located south of Kyoto, a long way from Kyoto.

Qin Feng didn't know how far it was exactly, as it was a military secret. He just heard that it would take a month for the carriage to get there.

However, Qin Feng knew that this was still Earth, but it was Earth hundreds of thousands of years later.

The terrain has changed, but it remains largely the same.

Pingchuan County is probably in Hunan, and the capital should be Chang'an. The straight-line distance between the two is about 800 kilometers.

If we walk along the road, it is estimated to be thousands of kilometers. By this calculation, if Qin Feng rides a horse, he should be able to arrive within fifteen days if he is fast.

Alas, it was really inconvenient to travel in ancient times.

If only there were high-speed trains or airplanes, we could get there within a day.

In fact, with Qin Feng's current strength, he also has a high level of Qinggong.

If he didn't ride a horse and used Qinggong to travel, he would be faster, and after he completed Guiyi Gong, the recovery speed of his internal energy was extremely fast.

There shouldn't be any problem running at full speed for half an hour.

Then, after sitting cross-legged and resting for a quarter of an hour, he would be fully recovered and continue on his journey.

But that would be too tiring, and Qin Feng didn't know the way, so he only dared to walk on the official road and ask for directions at the post stations along the way.

If you perform Qinggong on the official road, it will be too conspicuous.

Besides, he was not in a hurry. It would be enough for him to ride to Kyoto on horseback.

During this trip to Kyoto, Qin Feng was also thinking about what method he should find to ask Fan Xian for the grandmaster's martial arts technique.

Robbery?

That’s definitely not possible. With so many of Fan Xian’s fathers watching, if he dares to rob, he’d be courting death.

He is not a grandmaster, and is only at the peak of the ninth rank, which is not enough to be considered in Kyoto.

Cheat? Steal?
That won’t work either. Qin Feng has to think of a foolproof solution.

Fan Xian must give it to him willingly, and he must not be hostile to the other party so that he can practice in peace.

Think about it slowly. There are still ten days or so left, and I should be able to come up with a foolproof plan.

The third day of the fifth month, the fourth year of the Qingli period.

Qin Feng, who was exhausted from the journey, arrived at a small hillside.

He pulled the reins of his horse and looked into the distance. A huge city stood in front of him. A moat flowed slowly around the city. Thick willow trees were planted on both sides of the river, which was particularly eye-catching.

The straight official road extended all the way out from the city gate, with countless carriages and pedestrians queuing up, waiting to enter the city.

That’s right, this is the capital of Qing Kingdom, Kyoto.

Qin Feng traveled for more than ten days and finally arrived today.

He didn't enter any city during his journey, but just rested and replenished supplies at the post stations.

The reason for this is simply that he does not have a walking clerk.

Ordinary people are not allowed to leave their local cities. If they want to go to other cities, they will not be allowed in without relevant documents.

After all, household registration and other things are managed by local governments.

There is no information about your identity and hometown in other cities, so who knows if you are a spy from another country?

Therefore, officers and soldiers will investigate this matter very strictly, especially in Kyoto.

If Qin Feng wanted to go into the city, he certainly wouldn't queue up at the gate like ordinary people.

He would wait until night and then climb over the city wall.

It is not wartime now, and Kyoto is inland. Even if there are people patrolling on the city wall at night, with Qin Feng's attainments in lightness skills, he can sneak in quietly without any problem.

It would be too conspicuous during the day, and Qin Feng could not guarantee that he would not be discovered.

Soon, time passed and the sky gradually darkened.

Qin Feng also began to walk towards Kyoto City.

The horse he was riding had been released in the afternoon.

At this time, Qin Feng was dressed lightly and didn't have much stuff on him.

With his current strength, he no longer needs to carry those hidden arrows, crossbows and the like.

He only brought some medicines that he prepared himself, as well as small items such as silver needles, daggers, and darts.

In Qin Feng's hands, these small objects are deadly weapons.

It was a cloudy day today. The lights were bright inside Kyoto, but it was much darker outside.

Soon, Qin Feng arrived at the edge of the city wall. In front of him was the moat, which was more than ten meters wide.

Qin Feng calmly found a willow tree and took a few steps back.

Then he took a running start, stepped on the willow branches, and jumped with the force. He flew more than ten meters away and arrived under the city wall.

Then, without any delay, he stepped on the city wall and climbed up easily.

After a while, Qin Feng entered Kyoto.

It was just getting dark at this time, and Kyoto, as the capital of Qing Kingdom, was still very bustling, with vendors still doing business under lanterns.

Qin Feng dusted himself off and walked towards the street.

"Kyoto, here I come!"

Half a minute later, Qin Feng sat down at a soup and noodle stall.

The soup is mutton soup, the pancake is mutton pancake, and there is also a special steamed bun. When you dip it in the soup, your mouth will be full of freshness and fragrance. It is so refreshing!
Kyoto is really different. There are such delicious foods at night.

In Pingchuan County, these vendors would close their stalls after 3:00 p.m., not to mention at night.

"That illegitimate son of Si Nanbo, I think his name is Fan Xian, he is really amazing, he can actually create such a poem!" "The wind is strong and the sky is high, the monkeys are howling in sorrow, the fallen leaves are rustling, and the endless Yangtze River is rolling in. What a good poem, what a good poem!"

"I think these poems will be passed down through the ages and recorded in the history of our Qing country!"

"The literary world of our Qing Nation may begin to rise from today!"

"I also heard that Guo Baokun wanted to outdo Fan Xian at the poetry meeting, but in the end he held back for a long time and left in anger, didn't he?"

"Guo Baokun is only asking for trouble. He even wants to ban Red Mansions. How dare he do such a good book? He is probably just seeking fame!"

"Brother Zhou, be careful with your words. He is the son of the Minister of Rites after all!"

"But then again, Guo Baokun seemed to have been beaten up. Is this true or false?"

"I'm not sure, but it seems to be true. It seems that even the prince was alarmed."

After reaching the ninth level, Qin Feng's physical fitness improved significantly.

Hearing, vision, etc. have also been greatly enhanced.

Before, he could see the soldiers patrolling on the city walls from several miles away in Kyoto.

Now, with his powerful hearing, he could quickly hear the information he wanted from other people.

Deng Gao had already been created, and Guo Baokun also wanted to ban Dream of the Red Chamber, and people were also beaten.

It seems that Prince Jing's poetry gathering is over, and the Second Prince is also starting to win over Fan Xian.

The biggest hot topic in Kyoto right now is Fan Xian.

After all, his identity, the illegitimate son of Si Nanbo, is itself a hot topic and a source of gossip.

In addition, his engagement with Lin Wan'er requires him to take over the financial power of the inner treasury, which will attract the attention of important figures.

The bait thrown by Emperor Qing instantly hooked the Second Prince, the Eldest Princess and others.

So the poetry reading came about and became a hot topic in the whole city, attracting countless discussions.

However, Qin Feng did not hear anyone discussing the assassination on Niulan Street.

This means that Fan Xian had not yet been assassinated, and the plot is now between his fame at the poetry meeting and the assassination at Niulan Street.

This is a good opportunity. Wu Zhu is in Jiangnan and he just happens to come into contact with Fan Xian.

As for the method of contact, Qin Feng has already thought of it during these days.

It’s a foolproof method!

It would not only not arouse Fan Xian's disgust, but also enable him to obtain the grandmaster's technique that he wanted, and it would also make Fan Xian feel good about him.

The method is very simple, that is to pretend to be a hidden chess piece.

A hidden piece laid out in advance by Ye Qingmei!
At this time, Qin Feng was no longer a doctor in Pingchuan County, but a hidden chess piece that Ye Qingmei had prepared in advance to protect her son's future.

With this identity, he can easily connect with Fan Xian.

The method of connection is very simple. You can use the poems and lyrics from your previous life that only Fan Xian knows to exchange secret codes with him.

Suspicious of him? That's normal.

Is it just that he is too young and doesn’t know Ye Qingmei?

He had seen the portrait.

unknown origins?

He grew up following his master.

Who is the master?

The master was arranged by Ye Qingmei.

In short, no matter how many questions you ask, just push them directly to Ye Qingmei.

Ye Qingmei is dead, so there is no evidence. You come to him with evidence that only Fan Xian knows, and he has to believe it even if he doesn't want to.

As long as the connection is established, Fan Xian now believes that his mother is a time traveler, he is a time traveler, and they are the only two time travelers in the world.

Qin Feng came to him with this 'secret code taught by Ye Qingmei', which was equivalent to having an exclusive certification, and the trust level must be full!

A stranger suddenly appeared beside Fan Xian and gained his trust. Chen Pingping, Fan Jian, and even Emperor Qing would definitely be wary.

Especially Emperor Qing, if he finds out that someone beyond his control is on good terms with Fan Xian, he will definitely conduct a thorough investigation.

But he certainly would not come to investigate in person, at most he would send Chen Pingping.

As for Chen Pingping and Fan Jian, they were both Ye Qingmei's fans and they both stood on Fan Xian's side.

As long as Qin Feng reveals his identity as "Ye Qingmei's hidden man", these two people will probably treat him as one of their own.

No matter how bad the situation is, I will not attack him.

This result is based on the premise that Fan Xian has too close contact with Qin Feng and attracts attention, which is also the worst-case scenario.

In Qin Feng's mind, after he and Fan Xian get in touch, he will not appear in a high-profile manner, nor will he let Fan Xian show any closeness to him.

That way, it won't attract attention.

Of course, all of this is just Qin Feng’s guess. The specific situation can only be known after it is implemented.

After all, Qin Feng has to face the smartest group of people in the world.

Qin Feng was a little nervous about gaining benefits under the noses of this group of people.

But he also knew that he was safe.

Because Emperor Qing couldn't take action himself, and Ye Liuyun was not in Kyoto.

Qin Feng possesses the strength of the peak ninth rank, so even if the situation is bad, his life will not be in danger.

It is precisely because of this that Qin Feng chose to find Fan Xian.

Otherwise, Qin Feng has another choice, which is to go to Dongyi City or Beiqi to become the apprentice of the two great masters.

But the restrictions of becoming a disciple are too great, and Qin Feng is unwilling to do so. It would be better to have some freedom.

Thinking about what he would do after meeting Fan Xian, Qin Feng finished his dinner slowly.

Thanks to Fan Xian's current popularity, many people know the location of the Fan Mansion.

Countless people were also discussing Fan Xian. Qin Feng asked people about Fan Mansion and soon found out its location.

The Fan Mansion is located in the eastern part of Kyoto, which is some distance away from the Imperial Palace. It is considered a "villa area" because only dignitaries live here, and ordinary people are not qualified to live here.

When Qin Feng came to this street, he found it very deserted. There were very few people passing by. The number of stone lions in front of the high-ranking officials' mansions was greater than the number of pedestrians.

Fan Mansion.

Looking at the two big words on the plaque, Qin Feng showed a smile, he finally found the place.

Of course he would not go in through the front door, but instead went around and came to the back door of the Fan Mansion.

The Fan Mansion is much larger than the Liu family's courtyard in Pingchuan County. The two are completely incomparable.

But the layout of this kind of large courtyard is basically the same. Qin Feng knows where the owner usually lives without looking at the map.

So he quickly climbed over the courtyard wall and, with the help of the night, began to search quickly.

Qin Feng had sharp hearing and with the help of the maids' idle chatter in the courtyard, he found out where Fan Xian lived.

After a while, he appeared behind the yard where Fan Xian lived like a ghost.

"You're going to look for her again?"

"We have an engagement, that's fine!"

"After all, it's a bit inappropriate that we haven't gotten married yet."

"You don't understand this, I'm here as a doctor, Wan'er has had tuberculosis for many years."

Listening to the conversation coming from inside the house, Qin Feng knew that Fan Xian was not alone at this time, Teng Zijing was also there.

Now is not the right time for him to show up.

So Qin Feng found a place and waited quietly.
