552 Treatmen (1/2)

The seige of Fort Jin Pengwas dispelled very quickly, it was said that the King Dari had contributed a lot to it.

Fang Wenshi watched the soldiers ofthe North Courtretreat one after the other, returning to the camp, said tothe Dragon King, ”there are only two options.Either we hand over Shangguan Fei or we go plead with King Kuari to get his protection. I suggest the former.”

”We can't hand over Shangguan Fei, he is very important now.” The King replied.

The Dragon King's answerconfused Fang Wenshi. The Supreme King's ninth son was not only fickle but alsowastimid and cowardly and could not distinguish what was important from what was not. He could defeatan opponent in a single blow, which was formidable, but would tremble thereafter. Fang Wenshi was a only a scholar besides being a killer and did not have to be afraid.

”More important than the siege soldiers outside?” He asked.

”Yes,” Gu Shenwei was very sure. After observing for so long whether the three in one kungfu experiment was successful, Shangguan Fei did not seem to be able to survive the day.

Training was hard to explain to the military advisor because according to Fang Wenshi, theDragon King owned thousands of soldiers and could be called thelegend of swords. Spending moretime training withswords wouldbe a waste of time.

”How? We have completely offended King Kuari.” He wondered.

”So be it. As long as we are able to see Lao Hanwang, King Kuari is not so important.” The King affirmed.

The Dragon King's thinking was often different from others, evident here whenalmost everyone believed that King Kuari would win the battlebut hestill thought he was ”unimportant”.

Fang Wenshi realised that he was unable to keep up with the Dragon King's thoughts and asked, ”So we'll just wait?”

” Goout to the West immediately, to find Shangguan Ru.” The king replied.

”What can she say? Don't tell me-” Fang Wenshi said, not able tounderstand the Dragon King's thoughts and added,” Has the Dragon kingdecided to support the second wife of the Shi family?”

”Why not? I heard that she was well-loved and could surpass complex obstacles and even arranged a meeting between me and Lao Hanwang. She is a woman, and does not have to take part in the battle. There is no need to force a reconciliation between the Dragon Army and Fort Jin Peng.”

Fang Wenshi opened his mouth and thought for a while, ”I can't say whether the Dragon King's idea is right or not. But it is a wonderful move that couldsucceed or fail yet very risky if it fails. But for Shangguan Fei alone, Dragon King, please think carefully whether it is worth it.”

”Let's go.” Gu Shenweimade a decision.

Fang Wenshi bowed and quit and thought as he walked whether he should change his principles to follow the princess who was too young, butwould have to acquire some devilish techniques.

Fang Wenshi thought hard and spent a lot of time but this saved him a lot of money.

Leaving the camp would require bribing the smiling tiger-like officials but the soldiers outside, in the end, retreated on their own before he had set a number of bribes.

The officials and Fang Wenshi were equally surprised sayingit were onlyorders, but when he finally reacted and wanted to take advantage of this time to retreat and reap benefits, it was already too late to fool the military counselor of the Dragon King.

”You treat silver as food? How many times do you want to eat in a day? Quick, go, tell me about the truth and let me know immediately,” saidFang Wenshi whofully experienced the pleasure of having money. He could order officials of the Northern Court here and there althoughprivately, the other party had to accept it with a smile.

It was all for money. Fang Wenshi sighed in his heart and felt that whatever he had done would not be enough.

The news had spread very quickly and this shocked Fang Wenshi.

The order to withdraw had beenissued by Lao Hanwanghimself. The official had received a sum of money in the morning and was extremely diligent when he did his work, hence he heard a little more information. He said,”I heard that the second wife of the Shi family had pleaded for mercy before Lao Hanwang.”

Fang Wenshi was suddenly impressed by Dragon King.

Gu Shenwei did not think that the second wife of the Shi family would be so proactive when, before he expressed need, the other party had already provided help.

Before old man Mu came to the Dragon army's encampment hidden in a group of female soldiers, the mystery would not be revealed.

The second wife of Shi wouldn't be compassionate for no reason. The moment Shangguan Ru heard that the Dragon Army camp had been surrounded, shesoughtShi'ssecond wife immediately, the two talked secretly andShi's secondwifeagreed to intercede for the Dragon King.

It was somewhat a difficult matter, that would only get simpler after the camp of Fort Jin Peng had been encircled. Shi's second wifereminded Lao Hanwangthat the North Court wasnot to treat their guests differently. There was no need to send troops for house arrest.

”Dragon King, there are some things a good girl does notsay but thinks in her heart. I will make it clear for her. She helped you once, you should do yourbest for her.” She said.

Old man Mu did not say but Gu Shenwei understood Shangguan Ru. She remembered the niece whohadhad a hard life. This was a tacit thing but after the Old Man Mu had pointed out, it seemed like a straight deal.

”What help? Why don't I know?” said Fang Wenshi, alert. He was a military strategist and understood all the Dragon King's operations, but had never heard of the king and Shangguan Ru helping each other.

Old man Mu did not have a good impression of the white fat man. He pursed his lips wantingto show he knew more secrets. Looking at Dragon King's hinting eyes, he said, ”Why do you ask so much? This is a good girl's affairs. How can I tell such a lecherous man? Yes, a good girl toohas something that is inconvenient to say- every female soldier of the female army is a good girl and keep their bodies like jade and you are not to violate them.”
