Film and Television Daqing: Starting with the Heaven-Covering Technique and the Devouring Demon Art

Versace took a few deep breaths, finally calming down. He patted his chest, looked at Fan Xian with lingering fear, and said:

“I just heard from the servants that the streets outside are full of the Red Armor Army that brought you to Kyoto before.”

Just think about it, the Red Armor Army is the elite force of Daqing!

Their presence in Kyoto must mean something big has happened!

Fan Xian frowned and asked in confusion:

"What could it be?"

After a moment of contemplation, Versace said firmly:

"I suspect that an assassin broke into the palace to carry out an assassination, which is why Kyoto is under martial law!"

Fan Xian rolled his eyes and said, somewhat speechless:

"Go to the palace to assassinate someone? How could that be? There are Grandmasters inside the palace. Who would dare to go and die!"

"Besides, even if martial law is imposed on the outer gates, it won't affect us!" Fan Xian continued.

Versace retorted anxiously:

"How can it be unrelated! The servant just told me that there are hundreds of Red Armor soldiers guarding the gates of our Fan residence!"

Fan Xian stared wide-eyed in surprise and asked incredulously:

"What did you say?"

Fan Xian's expression changed drastically upon hearing this, and cold sweat poured down his forehead. He hurriedly stood up and rushed towards the door.

Seeing this, Versace quickly chased after him, shouting as he ran:

"Hey! Fan Xian, why are you in such a panic!"

Have you forgotten that our father also had 20,000 Red Army soldiers under his command?

Maybe those Red-Armored Soldiers outside are sent by our father to protect us!

"Uh... what you said seems to make some sense."

Fan Xian stopped and, after thinking carefully for a moment, said with lingering fear:

"No, I still need to go and see for myself before I can feel at ease."

Hopefully, these Red Guards aren't here to spy on us, otherwise things will get really complicated.

"Spying on us?"

Why are you spying on us?

Versace scratched his head, looking puzzled.

He couldn't wrap his head around it and was completely confused about the situation.

Fan Xian rolled his eyes at him helplessly and replied irritably:

"How would I know the reason? This is just my guess."

What do you mean by guessing?

We need to guess because we don't know the situation!

Just then, Fan Xian and Fan Sizhe walked to the door and happened to run into Liu Ruyu and Fan Ruoruo who had rushed over.

The four of them gathered together. Apart from Versace, who was still at a loss, the other three all looked worried.

"Brother, what should we do now?"

Fan Ruoruo gripped Fan Xian's sleeve tightly, her eyes filled with anxiety. "Something big must have happened in the capital, and Father seems to know something about it, otherwise he wouldn't have specifically told us not to go out."

"Yes, now that the master is not here, what should we do?"

Liu Ruyu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, pacing back and forth in a panic.

Despite her prestigious family background, she was still a woman, and it was inevitable that she would feel at a loss in such a situation.

Seeing their anxious expressions, Fan Xian quickly comforted them:

"Don't worry, Auntie. Maybe those red-armored soldiers outside are sent by Father to protect us."

After saying that, he prepared to go open the door and ask about the situation.

However, Fan Ruoruo stopped him abruptly, shaking her head and saying:

"Brother, let's just forget about it! Have you forgotten Father's instructions?"

We must not step out of the mansion gates today.

Liu Ruyu nodded in agreement.

She said softly:

"That's right. There's no movement from the outside world at the moment. We can keep an eye on things and wait for the right opportunity."

Fan Xian remained silent for a while, pondering to himself.

Given his personality, if he discovers that anyone is doing something to harm his family, he will definitely be unable to resist investigating to the end, otherwise he will always feel uneasy.

However, his father's serious expression before leaving made him hesitate.

Just then, a voice suddenly came from behind.

"Please rest assured, Lord Fan, the people outside are all your men—the Red Armor Army. They are here on orders to protect you and your ladies."

Fan Xian turned around abruptly and saw three soldiers in armor walking towards him.

They all appeared to possess eighth-rank strength, and one of them spoke up:

Fan Xian looked at the three men warily, frowned, and asked:

"Who are you?"

The leading man quickly bowed and replied:

"My name is Gao Da, and I am a Tiger Guard by Lord Fan's side."

Upon hearing the name, Fan Xian looked puzzled. He had never heard of this person before, nor had he ever seen these people.

He couldn't help but begin to have doubts:

"The Tiger Guards by Father's side? How come I've never seen you before?"

At this moment, Liu Ruyu spoke up, her face showing a mixture of doubt and curiosity, but she still nodded in acknowledgment:

“They are indeed the master’s guards; I’ve seen all of them before.”

Fan Ruoruo nodded in acknowledgment, indicating that she recognized these people.

After hearing what the two said, Fan Xian finally felt relieved.

However, he couldn't help but ask:

Do you know what's happening outside?

Fan Xian looked at Gao Da and the other two, his tone somewhat grave, as if he had already guessed something bad...

Gao Da shook his head, his expression turning serious:

"Lord Fan took ninety Tiger Guards into the palace today and also mobilized twenty thousand Red Armor Army soldiers into the city. We don't know anything else."

Fan Xian was even more shocked upon hearing this. His father had actually mobilized so many people, and even brought the Tiger Guards and the Red Armor Army into the palace. This puzzled him greatly.

He frowned and muttered to himself:

Why did Father mobilize so many people?

Fan Xian secretly speculated about various possibilities, but he still couldn't be sure what had happened.

The situation has escalated to such an extent that even the military has been mobilized; it can't be that someone has launched a coup!

The thought flashed through Fan Xian's mind, but he didn't pay it any mind.

After all, the Qing Kingdom's court is currently stable, Emperor Qing is powerful and domineering, and holds sole control of the military, so no one dares to rebel against him.

After all, his father was a cunning old fox; he wouldn't easily get involved in the royal family's internal strife!

However, even if he really wanted to get involved, he should first consider his own safety and that of the Fan family, right?

After all, they are family!

Thinking of this, Fan Xian finally breathed a sigh of relief and felt much more relaxed.

Meanwhile, in the Zheng family mansion in Kyoto, Zheng Kaitai stood solemnly in front of the gate, looking at the Red Armor Army soldiers standing guard at the entrance, and an ominous premonition welled up in his heart.

What exactly is going on?

Why are so many troops suddenly appearing? Is it time for war?

Just then, Zheng Kaitai suddenly remembered what his father had told him that morning: "I have something important to do today. Don't wander off. Stay home and wait for news."

Looking back now, my father's expression seemed somewhat solemn, but he didn't tell me what it was about.

Seeing the scene before him, Zheng Kaitai realized that the seriousness of the situation had exceeded his imagination.

Left with no other choice, Zheng Kaitai could only sit silently in the main hall, quietly waiting for things to unfold.

Inside the palace, Li Chengtian stared at Zheng Qiankun with a gloomy expression, his eyes flashing with a cold light.
