”If even you feel at a loss, then I urge you to behave well these days” Li Hongcheng shook his head and rejected Fan Xian's intention to see him out of the manor Like his father comforted him, he patted Fan Xian's shoulder with force With a sweep of his robes, he headed out of the ure disappeared into the winter garden, Fan Xian was silent for a long ti back down in his chair in the study Hongcheng had passed on Gong Dian's evaluation of him earlier The evaluation could not help but ht? If there was actually an in-depth investigation, Fan Xian's plan in Dongyi and Xiliang did indeed have such an intention However, this kind of intention, without a doubt, would not be able to stand firratitude and vengeance How could the blood and lives of soldiers be used as bargaining chips? However, who could truly understand what Fan Xian was thinking? It was precisely because he did not want too many innocents under heaven to lose their lives in the battle between him and the Emperor that he had chosen the present setup
The Great Battle of Qingzhou was a perfect eardless of whether it was Hu Ge's feigned attack or the Chief's reaction, all of it was a foundation Fan Xian had put a great deal of effort into Yet, this foundation had been heartlessly and callirasslands The bodies and burned ho Road would only zhou battle The problereat battle had easily torn apart all of the preparations Fan Xian hadstill wanted to stall for time and not return to the capital under these circu death
Fan Xian felt a deep coldness and admiration for the Erew in his heart
”You heard all of it, this has nothing to do with ainst the table He tiredly closed his eyes

There was a permanent tiredness on his face that could not be wiped away Redo that Overwatch Council Director that passed away, Haitang suddenly understood why Fan Xian appeared so tired
”Because you had Hong Yiqing bringsaid
Fan Xian opened his eyes and said with a cold laugh, ”I just wanted the grasslands court to agree to let Hu Ge send out troops I had not thought the Chief would use the opportunity to take the advantage”
Haitang paused slightly and did not explain to him that she had once tried to suppress Su Bida's wild ahtly, she said, ”In the end, it was still your Qing Kingdoe”
Fan Xian was silent for a moment He then said, ”We can put aside the matter of how the infor Yiqing still has not ather up the people of the Fourth Bureau Clearly, Deng Zi Yue was being watched by the Council during the transition…”
Speaking to here, he took a deep breath He suddenly reeneral of the Ye faence reports Apparently, the young general had led 4,000 light riders into the grasslands to pursue what remained of the Chief's court Fan Xian could not help but adrasslands in the cold of winter, he suspected that very few of the 4,000 riders would be able to make it back alive
”Those Man riders that rasslands… Do they still listen to your co ”After all, you are the princess of the snowfields and have the respect of the Chief on the grasslands Your position is lofty Presuhtly Her eyes, as bright as the North Sea, flashed with a glier Coldly, she said, ”At this time, you're still worried about the life and death of those 4,000 light riders? You really live up to being a powerful official of the Qing court Why don't you think about the corasslands and the tribes that have no strength to resist?”
”I a person, then a Central Plains person Lastly, I am a person,” Fan Xian replied with his head down ”Just as you said, Su Bida's a warriors of various tribes and strength of the grasslands It now has been hollowed out After the Great Battle of Qingzhou, 4,000 riders entered the grasslands As long as the Man riders left in the west of the grasslands ht actually be able to come back”
”It's already over for western Hu If the opportunity is right, the tribes you brought to the grasslands froht be able to use this opportunity to rise up” Fan Xian gently te ”You must accept this reality and then exploit this reality”
”I an with n with 's lowered her eyelids slightly ”But, your words right now surpriseand ruthless person who does not put the interests of the Qing Kingdoive no consideration to the interests of the Qing Kingdoardless of whether it was spilling hot blood or concealing the world, I have long done it”
”When did you beco reached a certain point in life when the highest-level of desires, such as power, has been satisfied, I have becoical consideration Further seen by others as a cold-blooded and heartless degenerate who only kno to use the blood of soldiers”
”In the end, you are still a hypocritical and selfish person,” Haitang said looking at him She took out the little knife from inside her clothes and placed it in front of him
Fan Xian replied expressionlessly, ”If this is considered hypocritical and selfish, I think that all the people of the world would be very grateful to my vanity I know your E you”
Haitang's body shook slightly She looked at hi
Fan Xian also ed in an oppressive at time, he uncoive suggestions In the past, Yan Bingyun and wang Qinian filled this role Presently, Yan Bingyun has gone to be a pure official, and I have sent Lao wang away I can't ask either of them I'm not an immortal Faced with him, I don't have a shred of confidence There is no one to helppitiful in front of hed ”What do you want to ask?”
Fan Xian gently clapped his hands and invited Haitang to sit down on one side of the table Then, he drank soue across his lips, he said, ”My sister is in the Royal Palace My entire fadou My subordinates who believe in me and are loyal to th, but it is difficult to move the foundations of this court I don't want tobunnies to fall off and die But, hty power, a cold nature, and supernatural plotting abilities He has the loyalty of most of the people on this piece of land And, h there were rumors froradually co s, I still believe that his blood is cold enough and his heart strong enough that if I truly took action, the people I want to protect would actually stop existing”
”In the past, I was terrified of dying Now, I am not very afraid” After Fan Xian said all that, he continued to summarize the situation ”But, I a Can you helpwas not silent for very long Very straightforwardly, she said, ”No”
