In theeaves, Yan Bingyun lay on a low couch The couch was covered with a soft eh Fan Xian had treated his wounds, it would take a long time to recover from the torment he had suffered over the past year There ounds all over his body which he could not bear to be touched, so Fan Xian had thought of a way to keep him covered up Thankfully the weather had not been too warh he knew that the detached northern spy the process of his recovery, Fan Xian still felt so relied on Yan Bingyun's strategies over the past few days in Northern Qi
After Fan Xian gave him a brief explanation about what had happened that day, Yan Bingyun looked at hiloomily ”I hope you did not leave any tracks, sir Otherwise my subordinates will all be rooted out Even if you are Commissioner of the Overwatch Council, I will have to take you to tribunal”
Fan Xian shook his head ”I know that your power goes far beyond that Although the individual contacts are safe, efficiency is too low There are a number of other aspects that you will need to find a way to set in motion, but I probably don't have the ti ready to hand the contacts over to wang Qinian - I'm not sure how you feel about that proposal”
There was a strange look in Yan Bingyun's eyes The past few days, this young high official had shown that he could only work in accordance with the rules His greatestto his opinions But today, he had hit the nail on the head when it came to the network in the north; it seemed that he was quite capable indeed

Fan Xian was a little surprised He hadn't expected wang Qinian to have been doing this since the beginning ”According to your plans,” continued Yan Bingyun, ”we can co-ordinate with Shang Shanhu and dig Xiao En out from his whereabouts But I hope that the Council's et too deeply involved”
Fan Xian responded to his request, knowing that he didn't want those hidden in the north involved because they had paid too high a price for the internal struggles of the court ”Don't worry,” he proyun frowned ”Shang Shanhu is a lion It is a pity he cannot find a position of strength in Shangjing and so he can only seek the Eldest Princess's help As officials, we act on behalf of the Eldest Princess's will, as it should be by rights, but you must indeed act appropriately I believe that the day when Shang Shanhu moves to rescue Xiao En will also be the day that the Eldest Princess and Shen Zhong get rid of the power of the arly-indifferent official had guessed what he wanted to do He couldn't say much more ”That is what I would like to see I cannot underesti Let the any har the rear courtyard, Fan Xian found wang Qinian and told hi of nu that in the days to coerous and important task He was not that old shopkeeper at the oil shop; he was Fan Xian's trusted aide So he had the courage to ask so ”One-three-one-four-five-two-seven-seven-seven Sir, it see”
”All hed In the dialect of Danzhou, the words for 'money' and 'seven' sounded very siood for the old oil-sellar over the past few days, and he'd sold a nuan to re-establish contact with the Overwatch Council's network in the north after a year of silence It hadn't taken uised as ordinary Northern Qi citizens, had all received their first an to be fed back through all types of channels They were collated and summarized by a number of personnel at the ends of the lines of cojiadian
At the sa diplo their capacity for liquor considerably Of course, shopkeeper Sheng from Xiushui Street ran over to the diplo to flatter Fan Xian, believing that he could get the infor Shanhu wanted fro a lot of infor reports for further analysis Finally, the one who cayun, who had spent his days in the rear courtyard, frequently coughing
