The official wiped at the sweat on his forehead and said in a tre voice, ”I am the Dianli of Danzhou, here especially to welco these words, Fan Xian was slightly startledHe hadn't noticed thethe man say he was a Dianli, he couldn't help but be surprised
He was not someone who liked to be flattered and fawned over, but he knew that for an Overwatch Council Commissioner and an imperial envoy to return home, the parent officials of Danzhou must feel very honored and would certainly do their best to curry favor with himHow come the Zhizhou did not come? Why was it a Dianli who came?
He unconsciously looked at the ant-like people on the dock and narrowed his eyes, ”Where is the Zhizhou?”
It was only a casual question, however, it landed in the Danzhou Dianli's ears like thunder and scared him severelyWith a tearful face, he said, ”Sir received theAt thisto docks to welcome SirSir shouldn't blame Sir, it is because…Sir didn't know that Sir would arrive so early”
This string of ”sirs' confused even Fan XianOnly after parsing it for a while did he understandDanzhou had not thought his boat would arrive this quickly
He s horand welcorand event on the dockFan Xian's vision was startlingHe could faintly see people rushi+ng to prepare the canopy, and there weretoward this areaThere were also a great deal of Danzhou coathered there
The Danzhou Dianli's heart eased slightlyHe gathered his courage and raised his head to evaluate this ure who had not returned to Danzhou in two yearsHe had been transferred to Danzhou after Fan Xian left, so he had only heard ru master in the Count's manorIn the officialdolorious works that Sir Fan junior had done in Jingdou and everywhere elseHe had long been filled with curiosity about this iure who hailed froure from heavenThe Dianli was startled by Fan Xian's appearance and immediately lowered his head to report the day's situation

This was the prince and princess
Everyone guessed that since his wife and student had both returned, Sir Fan junior would also returnSo, they had long begun to make preparationsHowever, they had not expected that Fan Xian would be handling matters in JiaozhouNone of the officials or coradually relaxed their thoughtsUntil today, when a troop of completely black riders suddenly appeared outside the city, went through the city defenses, and went directly to the dock to begin laying out defensesOnly then did the people guess that Sir Fan junior was about to arrive
Tiht, thus, only the Dianli who had coincidentally learned of this matter had rushed over while the Danzhou Zhizhou and other officials were probably still in theirthe su on clothes and rushi+ng over
The Danzhou Dianli was terrified that the provincial governer Fan Xian, so he had coize humbly
He carefully looked at Fan Xian's expression
Fan Xian suddenly opened his mouth and asked, ”How is the old woly and said, ”She is very healthyThe Zhizhou often visits the manor to pay his respects”
”Hmm, Wan…hmm?” Fan Xian suddenly furrowed his brows
The Dianli's heart juhis displeasure at today's welco partyHe was so scared, the amount of sweat on his back tripled in a, as beside Fan Xian, understood that he was just suddenly confused, not sure how to refer to his wife in front of this officialSo he shtly and said, ”Has the Mistress coh this Dianli in front of hi official, he had no reason to h this Dianli would certainly be very willing to have Lin Wan'er as his grandmother[JW1]
”Your wife is in the manor,” the Dianli said carefully”The old mistress is also in the manorToday is very hotI orried that she wouldto the dock to welcome you, so I haven't reported this to the manor yet”
Fan Xian nodded, pleased, and patted this Dianli with approval on the shoulderIt was also his intention to not have the Black Knights infor to surprise the old mistress as well as some other people in the city
The Dianli was overwhelmed by this show of favor
”Have everyone on the dock disperse,” Fan Xian so back by myself later”
Since the old mistress and Wan'er had not coo socialize with officialsIt wouldn't be too late to talk with the Danzhou locals and elders laterHaving experienced the unco properly under the canopy in Suzhou, once was enough
Unexpectedly, upon hearing these words, Hong Changqing and that Dianli said at the sa orried about Fan Xian's safetyAfter aWa, you haven't been withRemember in the future, you are a person of the Overwatch CouncilConcerning et rid of those Tiger Guards the Eranted meDo you also want to stick to h his words were gentle, theforced a smile and didn't say anymore
The Danzhou Dianli said, with a bitter face, ”Sir, although this side appears to be smooth beaches, the back is all precipices and cliffsThere is nowhere to go…you can only onshore froo for a walk and travel the mountain, it is best to wait for another day”
