Why did he come to Jiaozhou? Why did he have to defeat the Jiaozhou Navy? Actually, the origin of all of this was because of the little island on the East Sean, that little island that had been washed with blood

The pirates on the island were the Ming faorously, they had been completely wiped outFortunately, a spy of the Overwatch Council ed to survive with difficulty and had reported the bloody scene of that night

It was the Jiaozhou Navy; it could only be the Jiaozhou NavyIn the ation of JiaozhouAlthough to this day, they still did not have hold of any evidence they could present, the knowledgeable people at the topmost level of the court had deter fa Conference's hand, and the hand the Eldest Princess nurtured

NoE happeningSo, he had sent a secret letter to Fan Xian giving him full authority to handle the matterAs for how to handle it, he did not specify

Fan Xian had a great headacheHe had no evidence at hand, yet he had to bring the Jiaozhou Navy back under the realm of the court's controlHow exactly should he do that?

The navy was not the Ming family, the Cui family, or the Second Prince…it was a truly powerful martial forceIf he did not handle it well and caused clamor and raised arms, no matter whether or not the court could subdue it in the end, he would reat deal of trouble for hi business, the Jiaozhou Navy played an iyiIf there wasn't the Jiaozhou Navy's protection, it would certainly not have gone this smoothly for over 10 years

The role the Jiaozhou Navy played in the s route on the sea was just like the role Fan Xian's Overwatch Council as well as Wei Hua's Northern Qi Brocade Guard played in the land s route

However, on that island, the navy killed too one to the feastIn the little courtyard was only the disguised Fan XianHou Jichang had coate the , however, he had not s in secret, so it was not convenient to hire too many servantsThus, the little courtyard was cohts, Fan Xian sat in the dark, calh each step of his planAs he thought, he couldn't help s bitterlyIn a moment, what he had to do would be certainly be considered childish in politics and rude in teriven him full authority to deal with this matterIt was easy to see how much the Emperor cared about what he would do when he was forced to Jiaozhou

If they followed the usual route of investigation and questioning…the generals of the navy were not stupid and would not admit the crimes that could wipe out their familiesFurthermore, once the ainst each other, it would be easy for the military to slide toward an explosionIf they rebelled, tens of thousands of navy officials would surround JiaozhouHow could Fan Xian and his subordinates survive then?

So, they had to take the dangerous path

Coincidentally, it was the birthday of the Navy Adh-level navy officials were gathered in Jiaozhou and far away froh there were still tens of thousands of sailors in the Jiaozhou Navy, there were only a few garrison officialsOnce they moved and those inside the city could not easily communicate with those outside, the sailors' reactions would be a few beats slower

Fan Xian could use this opportunity to clear out all of the leading officials at the feast in one fell swoopHis appetite had always been big, but even Hou Jichang was curious as to where Fan Xian got his confidence froazed at the hall of guests with his face full of smiles, however, in this sanceHe was soodHe had lived over 40 years, and everything was sh positionAll these officials and wealthy merchants from inside and outside of the city had coures fro of pride, how could he not smile to express it?

But, he couldn't enjoy hihest military commander in Jiaozhou, and the local Emperor in name and reality, each of his words and actions could affect tens of thousands of peopleHe couldn't help but be wary and had to put on a severe and solemn expression

He couldof silver from the feast todayHe calculated in his heart as he raised his cup to drinkThe noble guests below all stood up and raised their glasses in response, praising endlessly

Chang Kun's gaze slanted toward the seat to his left in the cornerHe saw the official had an unconcerned expression and felt a great unhappiness in his heartThis official had been in Jiaozhou for some days and not only had he not come to pay his respects to hi Kun continued to endure it and had even invited the official to the feast todayAlthough Hou Jichang was only a e in Jiaozhou, so he was nothing round was too deepEveryone under heaven kneas one of Fan Xian's four studentsLast year, in the spring imperial examinations he had been in the third rank of candidates who passedEven though Chang Kun was a first-level ive Fan Xian this face

Further been wary of the Overwatch Council, and the fear in the depths of heart could not be assuagedHe didn't understand why Sir Fan junior would arrange for his student to come to the isolated JiaozhouPerhaps the Overwatch Council had actually co faforth any evidence

So, on his own birthday feast, Chang Kun held his wine cup but let his thoughts float elsewhereThey had not left anyone alive on that islandThe people who had acted were his own trusted generals, and those soldiers were shut up in their ca Kun woke frolyHis wives and children were all in JingdouHe wondered how they were doingAs for Jiaozhou, even if the court had heard some rumor, what could they do to him? Without any evidence, the Overwatch Council would not dare tothrough the cause and effects, he newly judged the situationAfter confir down on his heart finally lightenedHe nodded to the people beside hiirls to add to the cheer

However, looking at Hou Jichang's cal Kun still felt a bit unco that his midsection was a bit bloatedHe spoke a feords to his subordinate and went to the bathroo's home and walked to the back wall of the lively adureJust like how there were very few guards along the top of the Royal Palace's walls, this almost seven-meter tall wall of the ad the layer of cloud on a suht as cover, Fan Xian let out a muddy breath and moved the zhenqi in his bodyHis two hands were placed firainst the dust-covered wallWith a little push, he confir out from his palm could still have the same effect as when he was on the Danzhou precipice

After the Tyrannical zhenqi blew up in his body, he was fortunate to have Haitang take care of himHowever, he was still worried that his specialty, the Spideres in the way the zhenqi is moved around his body

Fortunately, it was still there

Just like a specter, Fan Xian silently flipped over the tall wall of the admiral's manor and slid into the brush in the courtyardVery easily, he tapped out two of the guards and then walked to the kitchenRe equipment from his clothes, he used the thin needle at the front of the tube to inject the pre-prepared sleeping medicine into a sealed vat of alcohol

To the side was an unsealed vat of alcoholFan Xian thought for a bit then spooned some to drinkHe felt that the taste of this alcohol was indeed pretty goodAs expected, the Jiaozhou Navy's luxuries could not be supported on just military funds

As he left, he casually tossed a pill into it

…

…

Fan Xian stood in the dark of the night and watched a few guards fro Kun was indeed a cowardEven when he used the bathroouard outside

He clirily, he pinched his nose and juround silentlyHe looked around at this bathrooantIt was actually two roomsUnfortunately, the outer way did not have a toiletFan Xian undid his pants and began to take a piss

The dripping of water startled the admiral on the toilet in the other roo Kun's pants were halfway down his anklesHe was sitting on the chair, which was hollowed out with a toilet below itAlthough his appearance was sole-like ruthlessness quickly appeared in his eyes

There was soet through the uards and co Kun felt a chill go through his heartHis first reaction was to yell loudly, ”assassin!”

But, he was a clever htlyIf the person who had come was a killer, then they wouldn't purposely make some noise to startle himSince that person had the ability to silently couards, they probably wouldn't be able to stop the assassination
