The Black Knights headed straight for JiaozhouIn order to fool people, the route they chose could not be the official roadNo matter how hts' strong battle power, he knew that if a disturbance started, he couldn't hold back one of the three great navies of the Qing Kingdom with only 400 riders

So, entered the city quietly without a shot fired

Seeing the gates of Jiaozhou in the distance, Fan Xian dis an Overwatch Council trick he learned in his childhood, he found a quiet spot and let the horse goThe horse had understood what his owner meantWithout hesitation, it headed toward the valley on its own and, in a moment, disappeared

It was not that Fan Xian didn't have the heart to kill the horseThe iron stench of blood was truly unnecessary and would only bring troubleAfter confir the horse would not reveal hisa small hole beside himHe took off his clothes and buried the and er, secret crossbow the Third Bureau had given out, and the sleeping powder and poison that never left his side were all thereHe then rubbed so his headShortly after, he let out a sigh

So Qinian had sent into the dirtFan Xian wondered when he would be able to use this sword openly and publicly

By the time he had left the tree, Sir Fan junior had already turned into a nor manHis appearance was still delicate; only the space between his broas slightly wider and the corners of his eyes were pulled down slightlyHe lost a bit of heroism and added a sense of sincerityHe was a co was still the black night- clothes he wore next to his skinFortunately, the quality of the material was excellent and breathable, so it did not feel hot

Following a rarely usedsunk beneath the top of the sAt the last ates closed, Fan Xian arrivedHe handed over his travel docuuard, then he easily walked into the city

The travel docuh-quality fakesThey were the real thing, so no one would find any probleh he was cautious and respectful, he was not panickedJiaozhou was near the seas, so there were uards had long seen everything, so did not give it ates, Fan Xian rubbed his eyes and smiled, just like a traveler froaze to evaluate the private residences and scenery around him, but he didn't move too slowly nor did he slow his footstepsHe perfectly played the part of a foreigner busy with his affairs

Jiaozhou was indeed different frohbored the sea, its co industry—was not very developedThe wealthiest street that went across the city did not have many stalls to either sideEven those that did have so of a shop front were half hidden and did not have a signIt was i sold inside

The entire city seemed solemn and quietIt lacked the aura and snity

As Fan Xian walked, he paid attention to these detailsHe knew that this was because the Jiaozhou Navy was often stationed hereJiaozhou was far away from the middle plainIt was truly a place where the hThe Emperor was far away and the navy theth was truly scary

In coth of Jiaozhou itself appeared so official was only a ZhizhouIn front of the admiral of the navy, he remained well-behaved

Jiaozhou's commercial affairs depended on the whims of the navyAll of the life necessities of the tens of thousands of navy officials, other than what the court appointed, were coh this ht a strange wealth—at least they did not have to worry about not being able to sell their goods and grain

Because of these reasons, Jiaozhou was the large navy's base of logisticsIt was like the sweet maiden at a warrior's side; she could only accept and could not e as the navy beside them, Jiaozhou also carried a thick military auraThe best pieces of land were coestnavy officialsThe best girls were all forcefully taken by the navy

Although the court had explicit orders that did not allow stationed troops and generals to live in the neighboring provincial cities, everyone knew this rule had long lost its effectiveness not only in Jiaozhou, but also the provincial and border troopsAs long as it was a ure with some power, no one wanted to live in the harsh conditions of the ht houses and wohts were exceptions of exceptions

Fan Xian raised his head to gaze at the brothel with its hovering red lanterns and couldn't help but smileWhere there were a lot of soldiers, the brothels' business would be very goodHe wondered whether or not the navy officials would refuse to payHowever, according to the inforh the Jiaozhou Navy were the Erass near their burrow[JW1] Usually, they ate the grass on the sea to the South

Fan Xian lowered his head and walked quickly past a large rand eaves, red painted doors, and walls hidden a bambooIt took up the space of half a street and was even dou

The large ht red lanterns hanging outside, and it appeared very cheerfulOn the door were i beardsIt appeared that so a birthday

At odds with this festive atecould faintly be seen below their earsThey were probably people who spent lance aroundWith a sole by the manor
