The hunt lasted three days.

For three days, Kang Fan and Huifeng worked hand in hand to protect Guangxu, staying close to each other and having no time to take care of Mei Xiang. Mei Xiang was not lonely at all. She was not inferior to the women in the palace in terms of appearance, conversation, and behavior.

The woman quickly won the favor of everyone and was able to win both ways.

On the way back, Guangxu's interest did not diminish. He took the lead in riding a horse and galloped at the front of the team, followed closely by Kang Fan and Huifeng. When they reached a ridge, a leopard rushed out of the thorns and passed in front of Guangxu's horse, like a steel whip.

The tail of the horse swept across the horse's eyes. Guangxu's horse suddenly stood upright in shock. Guangxu screamed and almost fell off the horse. The leopard did not slow down and flew down the mountain, just in time to head towards Kang Fan who was escorting him behind.

With quick hands and quick eyes, Kang Fan raised his hand and fired, hitting the target. The powerful 8 mm caliber Mannlicher rifle bullet blasted the leopard into the air. It turned somersaults in the air and fell more than ten meters away, with its four legs twitching uncontrollably.

"Master Kang, help us quickly!" Hui Feng's hoarse shouts suddenly came to his ears. He hurriedly looked back and saw Guangxu and Hui Feng rushing down the mountain one after the other at an alarming speed!

Huifeng urged his horse from behind, but was still unable to catch up with Guangxu in front. Guangxu must have been out of his wits. He hugged the horse's neck tightly with both hands, and his body was jolting violently on the horse's back, and he might fall down at any time.

Guangxu's horse was frightened!

Kang Fan immediately realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to express himself! His blood boiled, he threw away the Mannlicher lance in his hand, flicked the horse's head, and galloped in pursuit. After all, Red Rabbit has the fine blood of Arabian horses.

At this moment, under Kang Fan's almost crazy urging, his long legs flew up, his huge four hooves trampled the ground like a storm, making a thunderous sound, and he shot like a sharp arrow!

The people accompanying them have discovered the dangerous situation here, but they are still far away and there is nothing they can do to help. There is a cliff not far ahead. Once they fall, no one can imagine the consequences! At this time, everyone is worried about Kang Fan and Hui.

Feng sweated a lot, and Mei Xiang even stood in the crowd, chopping her feet and shouting "Come on" to Kang Fan, and she burst into tears with anxiety!

Kang Fan's horse was fast, and he took a straight line and intercepted Guangxu along the side of the cliff. When he and Guangxu crossed each other, Kang Fan shook off the stirrup in a thrilling way and squatted on the horse!

Huifeng, who chased after him, was stunned.

"Your Majesty, throw away the stirrups and release your hands, your subordinate is here!" Kang Fan shouted at Guangxu.

The two horses galloped side by side, and the red rabbit was more than a foot taller than Guangxu's horse. Faced with the strong wind, Kang Fan stood up on the back of the red rabbit, standing majestically, as majestic as a condescending god!

Guangxu, who had always been on top of others since his birth, was shocked, with a blank expression. He obediently released his hands holding the horse's neck, and his feet took off the stirrups. Just when he was about to fall off the horse, Kang Fan

He jumped up from Red Rabbit, hugged him in the air, and fell off the horse together!

The red rabbit was brought to an alarming angle, but it took advantage of the situation and jumped to avoid Guangxu's frightened horse. It stood up with a roar, and then stopped steadily. Guangxu's frightened horse couldn't stop in time and rushed forward.

Descending the cliff, there was no trace, and the shrill scream echoed in the mountains for a long time.

Kang Fan actually made a meat pad for Guangxu. The speed of the galloping horse and the weight of Guangxu made Kang Fan feel pain all over his body. He couldn't help but grinned and sucked in the cold air. Guangxu was looking at him.

Although Guangxu's lingering fear was pale, his clothes were disheveled, and his hands and feet were still trembling, he couldn't help but smile when he saw Kang Fan's funny appearance. Although Kang Fan only stood on the back of the red rabbit for a short moment, this scene must have already happened.

It was deeply imprinted on Guangxu's mind like a brand, which can be seen from the clear love he showed towards Kang Fan later.

Huifeng caught up, dismounted from his horse, and ran over rolling and crawling on the ground.

"Help me have a rest." Guangxu said while grabbing Kang Fan's hand affectionately.

Kang Fan felt that his hands were cold and wet. He was a good emperor, able to accept progressive ideas, and had a desire for change and improvement. However, he was weak by nature and lacked courage. He was destined to fail in the subsequent struggle for power with the Empress Dowager Cixi.

The ending also directly led to the miscarriage of the Reform Movement of 1898. Although his love for Kang Fan was clear at this moment, Kang Fan was in a complicated mood.

Huifeng had already taken off his official robe and laid it on the stone. Kang Fan helped Guangxu sit down. Guangxu was protected by Kang Fan and was safe and sound. His skin was not even scratched! After drinking some water, his mind gradually calmed down and his face looked calm.

It also became rosy.

"Your mount is tall, mighty, and extremely strong. It is definitely not from our country." Guangxu said.

Kang Fan bowed and replied, "This is what I got from the Japanese pirates."

"What you gained?" Guangxu smiled, "It should be 'robbed', right?"

Kang Fan also smiled and said, "My official robbed hundreds of Japanese pirate troops and horses in Weihai, and this is one of them."

Huifeng looked admiringly at the side, clasped his fists and bowed: "Master Kang alone resisted hundreds of Japanese pirates, robbed silver and two horses, and escaped with his body intact. He is truly a god! Huifeng has heard about this a long time ago, and it is an honor to see him today."

It’s coming!”

Kang Fan hurriedly returned the gift.

Guangxu sighed: "To think that our great Qing Dynasty has fallen to the point where even the small Japanese country can't win. In the Sino-Japanese War of 1898-1894, all lives were devastated, and land was ceded to pay compensation, which was even worse than before with Britain, France and other countries! Why don't I order it?

Are you sad and heartbroken? If everyone in our Qing Dynasty had your cultivation, how could we allow the Japanese country to cause trouble on the side of their bed?"

Just as he was talking, the entourage arrived one after another and fell to their knees one after another. Everyone was pale and trembling. Guangxu did not blame him, and waved for everyone to get up. Then everyone rushed forward and surrounded Guangxu into the car.

Drive back to the palace.

Mei Xiang left the team and ran towards Kang Fan, patting her chest and shouting: "Scared me to death, scared me to death!"

Kang Fan lovingly pulled her into the red rabbit. Huifeng was on the left and Kang Fan was on the right. They followed Guangxu's car like a shadow, not daring to be careless.

Guangxu poked his head out of the car, looked at Kang Fan and Mei Xiang, and said: "Your brother and sister are both handsome and handsome, and their appearance is very comparable to other people. I have heard about you two for a long time: your two ancestors traveled across the ocean in their early years.

It is really respectable to go to a foreign country and still remember the Qing Dynasty after decades."

Kang Fan and Mei Xiang didn't know what to say, so they could only listen attentively.

Guangxu looked at Mei Xiang with a smile, "I have always heard that your sister has superb medical skills and has the ability to bring the dead back to life. The Queen Mother has been in poor health recently. Can you come with me to have a try?"

Mei Xiang was a little embarrassed and hurriedly replied: "Everything the emperor heard was passed down by passers-by, so don't believe it. My little girl has just learned about medicine, how can she have the ability to bring the dead back to life? The emperor has ordered that the little girl should do her best."

Guangxu nodded, then turned to ask Kang Fan: "How is your relationship with Hu Pinzhi, the governor of Shanxi?"

"Xiaguan and Mr. Hu have never met before," Kang Fan said.

Guangxu thought for a while and said: "Hu Pinzhi is in his late sixties, while you are in your prime. The two of them can complement each other's strengths and complement each other, and can work together to govern Shanxi. The current prefect of Ningwu is about to be transferred to another place, so I am hereby ordering you to take over the post of Ningwu."

The post of Wu Zhifu concurrently held the position of the fourth rank of Dusi, and he returned to the Jin Dynasty to serve and assist Hu Pinzhi."

Kang Fan clasped his fists and accepted the order, "As a subordinate, I should serve my best." After saying this, he thought in his mind: The prefect is a fourth-grade civilian official, and the Dusi is a military attaché of the fourth grade. So if he is both civil and military, which grade of official is he?

At this time, the wind was strong, and the snow was blown up by the wind, flying in all directions. Kang Fan reached out to cover the window of Guangxu's car. Mei Xiang got into Kang Fan's jacket from behind, hugged Kang Fan's waist, and did not dare to show his head. Kang Fan

He loaded Mannlicher's rifle and stood in the wind and snow, his eyes shining brightly. Huifeng also loaded his gun and was on guard. The two people's eyes met unexpectedly, and they both saw admiration in each other's eyes, so they agreed.

Nod in greeting.

Returning to the capital, Guangxu first went to the military camp to review the officers and soldiers of Kang Fan's cavalry regiment. In the Battle of Yunzhongshan, the ferocious fighting style and superb tactical literacy of the officers and men of the cavalry regiment shocked the capital, and they became famous in the first battle. At this moment, all the officers and soldiers of the cavalry regiment lined up on the school field, and they

More than a hundred tall and powerful war horses and more than a hundred well-equipped officers and soldiers stood upright, motionless, and filled with murderous intent!

Guangxu couldn't help stroking his hands in praise and asked: "I heard that all the weapons of your officers and soldiers were confiscated. Why are they so ready today?"

Kang Fan smiled and said: "I didn't surrender my weapon, but I actively cooperated. I just returned it two days ago."

Guangxu sneered, "How can an army governed by honor and wealth be so powerful?"

After leaving the military camp, Mei Xiang took the medicine box and followed Guangxu straight to Cixi's palace. Kang Fan wanted to follow, but was stopped by Huifeng.

"Master Kang, the Queen Mother's palace is unusual. No men are allowed to come near it without the Queen Mother's personal permission." Speaking of this, Huifeng smiled and said, "Master Kang seems to know nothing about the etiquette in the palace."

Kang Fan shook his head, "I really don't know anything. Fortunately, your Majesty reminded me many times. Thank you very much." After saying that, he cupped his fists and saluted.

Huifeng returned the gift and said, "I'll say goodbye to you, Mr. Kang. We can work together again in the future if we are destined to do so."

Kang Fan sent him a long way before returning to the military camp alone.

The plum fragrance disappeared like a yellow crane. Kang Fan was restless and went to the palace several times to find Huifeng to inquire. Huifeng told him that Shang was waiting in the Queen Mother's palace. Kang Fan knew that Ronglu and Cixi had a close personal relationship, and Rong Lu

After Lu's marriage incident, it was certain that he would hold a grudge against himself. If he really vented his anger on Mei Xiang for his two men, Mei Xiang would be in trouble! A week has passed, and he can't wait any longer.

Because He Shuikuo had to wait for Kang Fan, he had been temporarily staying in his own shop in the capital for the past few days. The accountant of the shop thought he was here to check the accounts, so he hurriedly presented a large number of account books, but he did not expect to attract He Shuikuo.

He was scolded so loudly that he felt quite baffled.

Since arriving in the capital, He Shuikuo had been so frightened by all the things that had happened, how could he think about checking the accounts? After learning that Kang Fan and others were safe and sound, he and his clansmen came to visit the military camp. The two clansmen were in Kang Fan and Mei Xiang

When he entered the palace, he was attending court in the palace, so he had personal experience of this matter. At this moment, after seeing Kang Fan, he tried his best to flatter him, and kept saying nice and pleasant words. Kang Fan was very bored, left the two of them, and congratulated him.

The water comes out.

"I'm going to the palace to pick up Mei Xiang now. If you can't come back within an hour, you and the cavalry regiment officers and soldiers will return to Jin immediately; if Mei Xiang and I come back, that's another matter." Kang Fan said, "When I get back, I tell Zhong Hanqiang,

Let him take good care of those students. Remember this!"

He Shuikuo agreed uneasily, and the dark clouds that had just dissipated in his heart gathered again.

Guangxu understood that Kang Fan was worried about Mei Xiang, so he sent someone to summon Mei Xiang from Cixi's palace to the front of the palace. Mei Xiang finally saw Kang Fan, and hugged Kang Fan tightly regardless of the public gaze, and burst into tears. Seeing her extremely wronged look, Kang Fan

I couldn't help but get angry!

"Is Ronglu giving you a hard time?" Although Kang Fan's voice was not loud, there should be people in the palace who could hear him. But there was silence all around. I don't know why.

Mei Xiang shook her head, "No. Empress Dowager Cixi just has indigestion. I gave her some medicine and it will be fine. These days, she insists on forcing me to enter the palace as a concubine. If I don't agree, she won't let me go. Why are you so early?"

If you don’t come, you won’t care about me anymore after you get promoted?!”

Kang Fan was anxious, "What are you talking about? Why don't I care about you?!"

Mei Xiang turned around and smiled, "Then let's leave now!"

Kang Fan nodded in agreement, turned around and bowed to Guangxu, and said: "Your Majesty's warning: My little sister has been wandering overseas with her subordinates for a long time, and it is really difficult for her to adapt to the life in the palace. Now the Queen Mother intends to recruit her into the palace as a concubine, but she will not

I sincerely request your Majesty to report to the Empress Dowager: The Empress Dowager’s kindness is appreciated by my subordinates, but I must abide by my younger sister’s wishes and take my younger sister back to Jin immediately to assist my subordinates in official affairs.”

Guangxu smiled and said: "Your little sister is very talented and beautiful, which is beyond the reach of others. It is reasonable for the Queen Mother to love her. Furthermore, if you enter the palace as a concubine and bring glory to your family, why not do it? I think:

It’s a lie that your ‘brother and sister’ are compatible, but it’s true that they are in love with each other!”

Kang Fan and Mei Xiang looked at each other tacitly, speechless.
