The second day was one day from the third dayThis was not nonsense because on the third day, Wan'er was returning to the capitalFan Xian was used to keeping his wife and family far away from sordid businesses, so he had set the time to be the second dayOn this day, the weather was fine and sunnyThe accu, Tianhe Avenue was soaked, and the flowing stone ponds holding snow beside the street finally began tolands

Inside and outside Jingdou, there were four gates in all four directions with 13 city guard soldiers responsible for safety and defensesThese 13 city gate guards were sent out by the PalaceNever arrison to stick their hands in, even the military elders in the Bureau of Military Affairs did not ates would closeIn the history of Qing Kingdom, other than a few bloody coup d'états as well as a few reports of massive natural disasters and unrest on the borders, there had never been another precedent of opening the gates at night

Old Director Chen of the Overwatch Council was an exceptionHe lived in Chen Garden outside of the capitalThe Eave this Director special perht

There was only this one exceptionOther than Chen Pingping, no one was allowed to enter Jingdou in the dark of night without an imperial edictAfter Fan Xian controlled the Overwatch Council, there was one more person added to this exception

Even if the Yuantai Caradually reported this up until it finally reached a rank where the general knew of Yan Shendu's true identity, the shocked and terrified general in the cadou

The Co, only knew about the news the next

Then, the Northern Governor, Yan Xiaoyi, returning to the capital to debrief, also learned of the newsHis true born son had been assassinated by soht in the camp

…

…

Yan Xiaoyi sat beside the bedHis feet were spread very far apartThis was a habit for horsesHis eyes gazed so before the doorHe tilted his head, not daring to believe his own ears

”Master” The two concubines on the bed forcefully suppressed the fear and unease in their heartsThey struggled out of bed and helped Governor Yan dress and fetched water for hi, Yan Xiaoyitogether in the hot water basin, did not shake at all

Ever since he was young, his energy exceeded that of othersAfter joining the arht he wouldn't be happy without a woh he didn't have a proper wife in his dou, he still left five concubines to serve hiht, under the wind and rain, these two concubines were allance at the concubine beside hi secretly proud of his stay, however, his heart felt different todayHe felt a gli women

Women, he had manyBut son, he only had one

He calold jade belt around his waist, and threw on a large snow-blocking cape before walking out of the doorOutside the door, his personal soldiers and generals froarrison, with fear on their faces, had been waiting for a while

Seeing his trusted aide holding a longbow and quiver of arrows, Yan Xiaoyi's mind wandered as he stood beside his horseEven so, fro the news until now, his expression rehtly black and deterradually left Yan ically died in the bedTheir fresh blood stained an entire green curtain

…

…

Under the protection of his soldiers, Governor Yan left the city gate and came to the main tent in the not very distant Yuantai Calance at the general of the ca, who rushed over anxiously, was ignored by him

He directly entered thein the tentNo one daredfor Governor Yan to come see it personally

Yan Xiaoyi stood in front of his son's body and didn't say anything for a long ti tihtlyHe extended a hand and forced open his son's still rigidly extended palhtYan Xiaoyi pulled at the two of his son's fingersHe re from his son's palm and then raised it in front of his eyes to look at it closely

Daylight shone in froently bounced off that jade pendantIt shot into Yan Xiaoyi's eyes and nized this jade pendantOn the pendant was a little sword on one side and some carved characters on the otherHis heart chilled and then ienerals did not knohat this jade pendant syhed and went forward to offer a feords of comfortAt the saret about this overnor to be assassinated in the camp his family controlled, no reat deal of the responsibility

Yan Xiaoyi nodded his head slightly and finally opened his mouthHis voice was a bit raspyHe slowly said, ”Marquis, there is no need to saywas silentA rief”

However, there was no sign of grief on Yan Xiaoyi's faceHe allowed the eneral of the Yuantai Camp to lead him to the tent his son had once lived inHe went in alone and stayed in the at tent for a long time

Everyone waited outside for himNo one dared disturb him

Inside the tent, he carried out his last conversation with his son's auraYan Xiaoyi walked out from the hole in the back of the tentHis expression oodenLooking at the large puddles of bloodstains that had been somewhat scattered by the wind, he didn't speak at all

He once again returned to the center tentYan Xiaoyi looked at his son's body and lowered his headSuddenly, he stretched out his hand and grasped the arrow sticking out of his son's heart and pulled slightly

With a splutter, the arrow left the body and landed in Yan Xiaoyi's handHe personally placed this arrow into the quiver his soldier carried and then turned to Qin Heng to say, ”Burn it”

The sound of horses' hooves rang out again, leaving Yuantai Cah his son had been assassinated as a douThis was an inconvenience brought by power

Cold wind blew over his face

The soldiers of the Northern Expedition Arry expressions on their facesThey had fought against the Northern Qi people on the North border for ht they had performed meritorious service for their countryHowever, they had not expected that soovernor's son

Yan Xiaoyi's expression still did not changeHe only said to his personal attendant coldly, ”It's not Sigu JianThat killer bled, ninth-level”

The jade pendant indicated the killer's originYan Shendu's power and the price that person paid indicated his level of skillHis personal attendant rode beside hi left the capital, on the surface, there are only a few ninth-level aces in JingdouNow that you and Sir Fan junior have returned to the capital, there are two moreHowever, there could be some hidden in the dark, for example, the Overwatch Council”

Without question, after Yan Xiaoyi returned to the capital, he had borne the brunt of the Overwatch Council's power, particularly that day in front of the Bureau of Military Affairs when Fan Xian had waved the horse whip at himThis made the battle in the dark explode into an imminent clash

With Yan Shendu's death, everyone would think of Fan Xian at the first instant

”It's not Fan Xian,” Yan Xiaoyi said coldly, ”But it certainly has soht before thelanced at hi to do with Sir Fan junior, ould the Governor do? Would he shoot and kill the Edou?

Yan Xiaoyi narrowed his eyes slightly and didn't say anythingHe only coughed a few times and then covered his mouthA trickle of fresh blood leaked out froht's assassination did not spreadFor one, not arrisonTwo, there hadn't been enough timeEven the head office of the Overwatch Council had not obtained related detailsThe civil andcourt had always been split into two systems, so not many of the officials in court knew of this matter

This day, it was a small court conferenceThe officials outside the Palace doors were gathered in twos and threes, each with their own factionHowever, the Crown Prince in the Eastern Palace and the Second Prince had become much warmer, so the two factions of officials did not stand too far apart
