Dimension Demon's Chat Group

Chapter 105 It’s easier to get things done with someone in your hands

Getting married next month...

Lin Yu calculated it in his mind and nodded.

According to the original plot, after the assassination on Niulan Street, there will be the battle in the northern border and the peace talks between the two countries. Next month is the perfect time for the wedding, and they should be able to get married before Fan Xian goes on a diplomatic mission to Northern Qi.

"So what are you going to do next?"

"The second one is hiding behind the scenes, but he's on good terms with me. I don't want to touch him for the time being."

Fan Xian said calmly, "The most urgent matter is to deal with my good mother-in-law."

"This assassination attempt wasn't done by Lin Gong, so it must have something to do with her trusted subordinates. I plan to act before the news spreads and follow this trail all the way up. Even if I can't destroy her foundation in the end, I'll at least eliminate a few of her minions!"

Lin Yu said thoughtfully: "It seems that you have already made arrangements..."

Fan Xian smiled faintly and said, "Brother, I invited you here this time simply to entertain you properly. You don't need to worry about trivial matters like these. Just watch over!"

I have to say that after joining the chat group, Fan Xian has indeed changed a lot and has taken the initiative to do many things.

From Fan Xian's perspective, there is indeed nothing wrong with his approach.

But in Lin Yu's eyes, the vision of this little group member of his is still too narrow!
Keeping a low profile and taking things step by step are indeed what the prophet version of Fan Xian should do, but now he is not starting over with his memories, but has a golden finger like a chat group.

If he really planned every step like he is now, before the time is ripe, he would have already advanced to the Foundation Establishment Stage and become an immortal!

By then, all the political tactics and open and covert struggles will be useless.

Fan Xian only needs one person to dominate the world and wipe out all the evil spirits!
No matter how powerful the feudal nobles or martial arts masters are, they can't make any waves in front of the spells of the foundation-building period.

As for the issue of public opinion that Fan Xian was worried about, as long as he showed his extraordinary abilities, fought against natural disasters, and ensured good weather and good harvests every year, who would oppose him under such circumstances?

Of course, even if he felt that political tactics were meaningless, Lin Yu would not say it out loud.

In fact, except for group member Fan Xian, Lin Yu doesn’t really care about the fate of other people in this world.

Since Fan Xian wants to do this, then let him do it. After all, I can always cover for him...

The two chatted as they came to Fan Xian's residence.

Along the way, they met many servants from the Fan Mansion, but no matter who they met, Fan Xian had no intention of stopping chatting.

The servants of the Fan Mansion seemed unable to hear their voices. After bowing respectfully to them, they hurried away.

This is naturally not the basic quality of the servants in the Fan Mansion, but an illusion method performed by Lin Yu.

Fan Xian knew that Lin Yu had such means, so he dared to plot loudly and unscrupulously.

Returning to his room, Fan Xian plopped down on the steps of the front hall, fiddling with the waterwheel in the hall with his right hand. He sighed, "Ever since I learned about my future destiny, I haven't felt this relaxed in a long time!"

Lin Yu stood beside him and said with a smile: "It's just some magic and soundproofing methods. You will learn it sooner or later."

Fan Xian shook his head and said, "I'm not talking about the means, I'm talking about the people."

"Brother, you know my situation. Besides the brothers in the group, I can only tell Uncle Wuzhu about these things. But Uncle Wuzhu is an intelligent robot after all, and his brain circuits are different from humans. Even if I tell him, he won't understand..."

Lin Yu couldn't help but laugh when he heard that.

But then he realized something: "Come to think of it, why haven't I seen Wu Zhu?"

Fan Xian smiled faintly: "Even before I went to the banquet at Liujing River, I asked Uncle Wuzhu to help me with something!"

Before he finished speaking, there was a slight noise coming from the base of the wall behind the house.

Lin Yu turned his gaze and glanced in the direction of the voice and asked, "Is he a thief or one of us?"

Fan Xian patted his butt and stood up, saying with a smile, "He's so sneaky, it must be Wang Qinian!"

Since he wanted to build up his own power, Fan Xian would naturally not let go of the characters that appeared in the original novel.

Especially this Wang Qinian, who has superb martial arts skills, is efficient in his work, and speaks nicely. Fan Xian has a good impression of him, so he recruited him as a guest official in advance and cultivated him into a close confidant.

This process was not difficult because Chen Pingping had originally planned to place Wang Qinian next to Fan Xian.

When Fan Xian found Wang Qinian, he had been dismissed from his post by the Supervisory Council because of the previous Qing Temple incident and was at the lowest point in his life. Therefore, he accepted Fan Xian's recruitment without hesitation and began to work for Master Fan.

Hearing this name, Lin Yu couldn't help but become interested. His mental power penetrated the wall and carefully looked at the middle-aged man outside who accidentally stepped on the pottery jar at the base of the wall.

"This doesn't look like what he looks like in the TV show..."

Lin Yu muttered to himself while watching Wang Qinian's every move.

I saw him lightly use his toes to straighten the clay pot and carefully put it back in place. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and quietly walked around the wall to the main door of the front hall.

Before entering the door, Wang Qinian's voice with a hint of complaint was already heard.

"Sir, can you please move the pottery jars behind your house? Last time I—"

Before he could finish, Wang Qinian's voice stopped abruptly.

He glanced at Fan Xian, who was smiling playfully in the hall, and then at the unfamiliar young man in white behind Fan Xian. His expression froze, and he asked in a low voice, "Sir, are you entertaining guests?" Fan Xian nodded calmly, "Yes."

Wang Qinian's expression straightened, and he bowed respectfully, saying, "Since Your Excellency has guests, I will take my leave first!"

After saying that, he quickly turned around and walked outside at a pace that seemed slow but was actually fast.

"Wait!"

Fan Xian grabbed Wang Qinian's arm and whispered, "Don't be nervous. This is a brother I met before. He's one of us."

Wang Qinian was startled when he heard this. He looked at Lin Yu doubtfully and whispered, "Is he really one of us?"

Fan Xian said angrily, "How could I lie to you?"

Wang Qinian smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, we can't be vague about this. If there is any mistake, you will lose your head!"

Fan Xian rolled his eyes, turned around, walked to the front hall steps, sat down, and said with a smile:

"There's no need to hide my affairs from my brother. Tell me, what did you find out?"

"..."

Wang Qinian hesitated for a moment, but decided to trust Fan Xian. He then bowed and said, "According to your instructions, I have investigated the files related to military equipment in the Supervisory Office over the past few months. I discovered that the City Patrol Office recently registered a batch of obsolete military equipment, and the number is not far off what you said."

Fan Xian nodded and said, "So, the bows and crossbows used to assassinate me were lost by the City Patrol?"

"Assassination?"

Wang Qinian was stunned when he heard this, obviously he didn't know about this matter yet.

Fan Xian smiled and told Wang Qinian about the assassination on Niulan Street.

Wang Qinian was shocked when he heard this and asked quickly, "Sir, are you okay?"

Fan Xian said unhappily, "Stop talking nonsense. Who in this world can hurt me? First, tell me who is most likely to provide weapons."

Wang Qinian gave a wry smile, thought for a moment, and then said with certainty, "Commander-in-Chief of the City Patrol, Fang Da!"

Fan Xian turned to look at Lin Yu, who nodded, indicating that this was also the person in the original novel.

That's good. Fan Xian was afraid that there would be a butterfly effect, which would result in another person providing the weapons. That's why he arranged for Wang Qinian to investigate in advance to avoid finding the wrong person.

"Wang Qinian, you've done a great job. I will definitely keep my promise to you about the reward I promised you."

"As for now, go call Fu Hao, Nie Kang and the other three!"

Wang Qinian showed a look of joy, bowed quickly to accept the order, and left the house.

Soon, Fu Hao, Nie Kang and Shi Hanwu walked in.

Looking at Lin Yu and Fan Xian in the hall, the three of them were not surprised and bowed respectfully, saying, "Young Master!"

Fan Xian's eyes swept across the three people and finally landed on Nie Kang, who was holding a long sword.

"Brother Nie, you're the fastest and smartest, so please run to the Lieutenant General's Mansion in the south of the city for me. It's best to leave now. I'm worried that if we're late, Fang Da will be silenced by the person behind the scenes."

"Yes, son!"

Nie Kang accepted the order respectfully, then activated his magic sword, flew over the high wall on the cyclone, and headed towards the south of the city.

Fan Xian turned to look at the taciturn Shi Hanwu and said with a smile, "Brother Wu, you're the most reliable person. Go to Liujing River and see if Miss Si Lili is still there..."

Shi Hanwu was slightly startled, then he understood what Fan Xian meant, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Fu Hao, who was standing next to him, finally reacted and whispered angrily, "It was the courtesan from Zuixianju who revealed the young master's whereabouts?"

"Sir, let me go, I will definitely catch this bitch back!"

"Who told you to capture her?" Fan Xian glared at him, then looked at Shi Hanwu and said, "Just go and take a look. Don't do anything, and don't kill anyone. I still have some use for her."

"Yes, son!"

Shi Hanwu bowed and accepted the order, then turned and left.

Fan Xian turned to look at Fu Hao and said, "Leave this matter to Brother Wu. As for you, stay at the Fan Mansion for now. If Si Lili has already escaped, I will definitely send you outside the city to capture her!"

"Yes!"

Fu Hao clasped his fists and accepted the order, then turned and left.

Lin Yu watched the show with great interest. After the three people left, he exclaimed in amazement: "Having someone under your command is indeed much more convenient than fighting alone!"

Fan Xian turned around and said with a smile, "My three followers were trained using the methods of the group. Their strength is no less than that of the ninth-rank masters in this world. I trust them in their work."

"As for us, I've already had Ruoruo book a banquet at Yishiju, and we're just waiting for Brother to arrive!"
