”Poor Lili She's a good person” Haitang's hands were still in her pockets ”Please help if you can, Master Fan”
Fan Xian had all kinds of thoughts of their carriage ride north For a moment, he was despondent, unsure of how to respond And so the two fell silent oncethe leaves above their heads and the sunlight even further above to weave in and out of each other, falling upon their bodies, on his green robes and her si
Fan Xian suddenly rushed a few steps ahead, walking side by side with Haitang She turned her head and looked at hian to relax, copying the young woht laziness in his eyes as he looked around His green robes had no pockets, so he had nothing to stick his hands in, and could only hold them behind his back like some old scholar He shi+fted his hips forward and relaxed all the ly heavy feet to drag his see on
Haitang turned her head to look at hily unsure of why he had decided to copy the way she had walked ever since she was a child She looked a little confused
There was a warm s at hi didn't feel like paying any htly She seemed very comfortable Fan Xian also stretched and yawned
By that point the sun had reached the ht shone down
The sounds of their footsteps slowlytheed their feet back to the palace, looking like a pair offrom the fields back ho's nose Her ordinary-looking face had a strange chare peel was too strong It tasted rather bitter” Haitang see in the sunshi+ne
Fan Xian laughed, knowing that she had already seen through the tricks he had used that day ”I ae seeking harmony with nature It makes my methods somewhat coarse I hope you don't ive ”
His words were so did not blush like any ordinary girl ”If I had the chance, I would use it,” she replied casually
Fan Xian broke out in a sweat ”You are a commissioner of the Overwatch Council,” she continued, ”someone alks in the shadows Why did you draw soDanzhou for the capital? It seeht has given ht” [1]
Fan Xian continued to use the wonderful words of a poet froh that bastard had died in such a stupid and cowardly way Sure enough, Haitang was surprised She turned her head and looked at hi had imperceptibly shi+fted in her view of hihed and continued ”Of course, the dark night has given me black eyes, and I have more opportunities to use the finally laughed She really was ”s had been coarse all the way along the mountain If the palace walls were a bamboo fence, then what did she have to fear of what people thought vulgar?

Leaving through the palace, he said a feords to the worried-looking wang Qinian and the Tiger Guards Escorted by the Northern Qi Imperial Guard, Fan Xian the southern official sat in his carriage and rode back to his lodging Exiting his carriage, he was greeted by a chaotic scene, and could not help but feel somewhat surprised
Once he had taken a few steps toward the gate, and saw clearly as going on, he was coate were a nuuards, crouched on the floor picking up things Every ed a sack behind him, and they would pick up an object from time to time and place it inside From the way they carried it, it seems that the objects were heavy Fan Xian was very curious ”What's going on?” he asked wang Qinian, as standing next to hi Qinian was also puzzled
As they walked further, they realized that on the floor in a large space in front of the courtyard gate were all sorts of swords Some had scabbards decorated with beryl, some were plain and unadorned, some were modern, and of course, many of them were the curved sabers beloved by the people of Northern Qi
Fan Xian sucked in a breath of cold air ”Go and grab those bags Since they fell in front of their door, even if they're only good for scrap, so appreciated the palace scenery, chatted, and iirl's walk, he felt quite at ease, so he s a little bit like Fan Sizhe
wang Qinian forced a sh spirits, sir, to h bitterly ”And if not, then what? Don't tell le blade?” Ever since he had al'er back in the capital, Fan Xian was clear on the customs of combat in this world - throw your blade at your opponent's feet, and if they accept the challenge, then pick up your sword
”But they've had all day What's causing all this trouble?” he asked with a frown
