”Yes sir,” replied wang Qinian ”Master Cui is still kneeling outside do you think we should allow him in? After all, the Cui clan is also an influential family in the capital, and they have a number of officials at court”
Fan Xian looked over the reports fro Qinian had said These past few days that the diployun returned, Fan Xian had not dared to utilize their information network in Northern Qi, and so their sources of intelligence had been somewhat reduced, which left him worried AQinian had said ”Let hi himself to be used by Northern Qi like some kind of tool I shall teach him a lesson, on my mother-in-law's behalf”
The rain gradually lessened It dripped down fro The courtyard was an old one, so the rain droplets fell and formed small pools in certain places Fan Xian pulled on a robe and walked out, catching sight of Cui, who kneeled before the stone steps For a long ti
