Vol 2 Chapter 184 (2/2)
Because these Tiger Guards belonged to Director Fan’s private forces, Gao Da called Fan Xian ”Young Master” rather than ”Sir” But Fan Xian still wasn’t used to it, so he laughed
The soldiers of the Coe envoy, slowlytheir way north They were silent in their ar military officers who knew the details felt unpleasant Their silence represented a type of humiliation
For the past dozen years, under the leadershi+p of the current ele defeat; winning had become a habit for the soldiers Last year as well, in as dee had still been the victor However, now the victor was forced to back down—for a severely despicable reason—and return Xiao En to Northern Qi!
As if given wings, Fan Xian’s propaganda had spread to every corner of the capital, so those military officers knew about the Eldest Princess’s detrimental involvement All of the military’s dissatisfaction toward the royal family seemed to be focused on that beautiful yet insane woman
Fan Xian was still troubled by that—the Eldest Princess, while insane, was not stupid What good could she gain by selling out Qing’s leading spy, Mister Yan, to Northern Qi? If she had done it only to have Zhuang Mohan come to the capital to embarrass Fan Xian, there was no way Fan Xian would believe that; he didn’t believe he was that important
If the Eldest Princess called for Northern Qi’s aid for the struggle for the throne, wouldn’t it severely offend the majority of the military? No matter how one looked at it, this was not a profitable deal
The envoy had journeyed for half a day As the sun descended behind the roup stopped by the edge of a vast forest to take a rest An assistant officer caulations, the envoy should stop by the courier station one and a half kiloht
Fan Xian shook his head He ordered to discuss the ot out of his carriage, stretched his body, which was getting nu, and walked toward the back
That leader of the Tiger Guards followed Fan Xian in silence, his hand on the hilt of his long saber Fan Xian noticed the length of that saber was a bit absurd, so he asked, ”Won't it be difficult to draw froht hier the weapon, the slower its wielder would react
Gao Da raised his long saber to Fan Xian and explained, ”There is a uard duty, all seven of the Tiger Guards use these extra-long sabers The extra range is all we need”
Fan Xian nodded, signaling to Gao Dao not to follow hihtly sniffing the air, Fan Xian thought he felt a chilling aura and sht of the possibility of wang Qinian going crazy fro with that old monster for the entire trip
As he had expected, as soon as he got into the carriage, wang Qinian was standing at the entrance with a pained expression ”Sir, when may I take a break?”
”In two days” Fan Xian patted hieQinian shook his head and cal Sir Fan Fan Xian listened quietly, knowing all wang Qinian said would be heard by Xiao En But he wasn’t worried After so in to take a look”
”It’s dangerous” wang Qinian shook his head in disagreeer While he may not be his former self, he was still once a ninth-ranked e, what are we going to do?”
Fan Xian replied, ”Be at ease Xiao En is not stupid We are not yet ten kilometers from the capital, for him to make a move noould seal his death” Of course, Fan Xian kne scary Xiao En could be What does it mean to be ninth-rank? Fan Xian had experienced the power of one through Yan Xiaoyi’s arrow on the night when he infiltrated the palace
”There’s still a long way to go I'll have to see hie, the cold Xiao En kept a gloomy expression His white hair had already been tied back Fan Xian held a small box and entered ”Mister Xiao, the journey to Northern Qi is a long one Please have some food and water”
Xiao En slowly opened his eyes Their cold bitterness flashed for a brief instant He sh the trouble”
Fan Xian didn’t appear to be afraid in the slightest as he opened the box with a bright smile Carefully, he held a pastry up to the old ave the old man some water
There was silence for a while, and then Xiao En suddenly spoke ”Those poison are useless”
