113 Suppress Him (2/2)
He couldn't understand why his father continued to spare An Sun. But if the time ever came where An Sun revolted against him, he'd make sure to kill him with his own hands.
Standing up, An Ruo exits the main tent toward his. Once inside, his expression retorted into one of malice.
”What information do you have on his strategist?”
The pale man with blond hair sat seated at the table, his posture, and aura filled with pure elegance.
In a silky voice, he replied, ”Answering Master Ruo's question, the young strategist's name is Bai Lan, he's the grandson of the Northern Empire's Commander Bai Han from the Bai family.”
An Ruo's brows knitted tightly together. ”He's from the Bai family?”
”Yes, Master Ruo.”
An Ruo grew silent as he pondered over this information. The Bai family...who didn't know about them in the Northern Empire.
A military based family with one of the strongest armies within the entire four empires. And their grandson was his brother's strategist.
An Ruo's expression turned black. Who knew what information the boy was feeding An Sun.
”If Master Ruo doesn't mind me speaking, there's something else you should know about Bai Lan.”
”What is it?” An Ruo's tone was sharp.
Not minding the man's harsh tone, the soft-spoken man continues. ”The boy is An Sun's strategist, but not willingly.”
”What do you mean?”
”During An Sun's raid at the Guando province, Bai Lan was their main captain and strategist. To protect the province citizens, Bai Lan was forced to go with An Sun and his army.”
Upon hearing his words, An Ruo's eyes widened in surprise.
”You're saying he's there against his own will?”
”Based on this information, yes.” The young man replied.
An Ruo's expression grew deep, and his brain immediately went into action. The corner of his lips tugged upward into a cold, sinister grin.
”I already sent one of my men to spy on him. I'll have him interact with the boy and see where he stands.” An Ruo's turned to face the pale man. ”If he's against my brother that's good, we can bargain and use him. If he's helping my brother willing then I'll just have to dispose of him as I planned initially.”
The blond man's expression remained dull as he lowered his head, his silk, blond lashes fluttering. ”As Master Ruo wishes.”
