Achieve Rivers and Mountains - C197
“Currently, our Emperor has established fifteen guards, commanding the entire nation’s troops. Each guard also has a general and two generals. The guards didn’t interfere with each other and only listened to the emperor’s orders. Even if one of them had ill intentions, it would only be a hundred thousand people. General Li spent most of his time “sick leave” at home, occasionally assisting in the military department or working in a writing room or training on the drill ground. It was only when the soldiers were in combat that they were given the Tiger’s Talisman to transfer troops, and once the war was over they would return the talismans and continue to return home to “sick leave” and have nothing more to do with the soldiers. On the surface, General Li appeared to be in a high position of authority, but in reality, the number of soldiers he had under his command was not even comparable to Mo Jinglei, who was guarding the Southwest border. Those hundred thousand elite troops were originally in the hands of that old dog Flowery, but after Mo Jinglei came back, he was free. Of course, not long ago, he was also escorting General Li with provisions. No matter which side you try to threaten, it will be useless to capture the princess, because it will be easier for you to threaten the old man of the emperor. Since the royal family is lacking in affection, it wouldn’t matter even if there was a princess missing, and if you want to disturb the monarch’s heart, it will still be of some use, but the people of the city will be the first to be disturbed. ” She could protect the princess’ safety, but she couldn’t protect the safety of the other commoners. There were already many innocent people involved, and this wasn’t something she could stop. The only thing she could do was convince Li Fan. Qin Xiaoliu wasn’t sure if he was thinking too much about the change in military power, but it seemed as if the old dog and the emperor were getting closer. In fact, it seemed like the old dog was at loggerheads. Looking at his background and strength in the palace, he had always been nothing more than an eighth grade Yi Wei like the others, and he wasn’t even as highly valued as that dead ghost Mo Qingfeng. And this year’s Hall Competition had only selected the Scholars who had only given Mo Qingfeng and himself a high position. The rest of the people did not do much in their humble jobs, causing the old dog’s efforts to lose its edge. All of this caused Qin Xiaoliu to be secretly happy, but at the same time, he was also surprised. Just who was this Nangong Kai Ran? The Emperor was unrestrained and unscrupulous. The destruction of the Great Yan was inevitable. But if Brother Li does not mind being the fool who allowed the first shot to be heard, I advise you to wait. ”
“The Prince Consort’s analysis of the major events of the world is rather clear. I, Li, have a whole new level of respect for you.” Li Fan could only say that her thoughts were meticulous and that she had some tricks up her sleeve. But now that he had analyzed it, he was truly enlightened, and he felt ashamed of his ridiculous thoughts.
“How do you dare to enter the imperial court as an official when your analysis is not clear? I just wanted to say that maybe when the time comes, I will give you a big gift. But now, I have to win against the princess. And the great hatred that Dragon Sword Villa has towards us is also irreconcilable! ” After Qin Xiaoliu said this, the blue and white porcelain cup in his hand fell to the ground. She threw it on the floor, scattering pieces of it on the floor. It was clear, shiny, beautiful, yet it made Li Fan’s heart jump.
“I think we are being used.” Li Fan looked at Qin Xiaomeng, whose face was a faint golden color and was struggling to hold it up. He felt an unprecedented amount of reverence for him, “This person might be the enemy of Prince Consort Ma or the Manor Lord. The two of you should be extra careful. Your Highness Prince Consort, I shall accept your kindness. This matter shall come to an end here, and we shall part ways here. ” It was an indescribable feeling of relaxation. Only now did he have the time to size up Dan Rong Lu, his eyes were staring straight at him. Just as he was about to speak, Dan Rong Yun spoke first: “Do you really not know who destroyed my Dragon Sword Villa?” It sounded like a question, but there was no hint of doubt in it.
Li Fan’s heart was originally filled with guilt, but after hearing this question, his heart was instead filled with rage, “You actually have the nerve to ask me about the person who destroyed your villa? When Elder Li handed the position to you, a yellow haired kid, you never thought of passing down his business? Pass down his spirit? The Deputy Sect Master passed away young, and you appointed an unknown young scholar. But now that you ask me who destroyed the Villa, I would like to ask you what kind of enemy you have created outside and what kind of disaster did you suffer for causing the disciples of the old Sect Master to suffer along with you!? ”
Qin Xiao looked at him in bewilderment. She didn’t even know much about his past, how could this person know so much about him? Who was he?
Dan Rong walked in front of Li Fan and simply said two words, “Show me what you’ve got.”
Li Fan sneered as he took off his clogs. “I’ve always wanted to spar with the Alliance Master and see if she lives up to her reputation.”
A jade Zhang slipped out of Li Fan’s sleeve, and Qin Xiaoliu quickly grabbed it. Seeing that Yu Zhang did not fall down and let out a long breath, Qin Xiaoliu fixed her gaze on Yu Zhang and quickly shoved him between the two of them. The two saw that she had suddenly moved closer and hurriedly pulled back, so he pulled her to his side and asked urgently: “You’re not hurt, right?” Qin Xiao shook off his hand and grabbed Li Fan, “Where did this Yu Zhang come from? But yours? ”
Li Fan looked at Qin Xiaoliu with fear in his eyes for some reason. Why did this man’s calm demeanor before he collapsed suddenly disappear?
“This Yu Zhang is yours?” Qin Xiao asked as he held Li Fan’s hand. His chest was heaving as if he was in a fierce mental battle.
“No. Prince Consort, why do you ask him? ” Li Fan asked her in bewilderment. As he spoke, he was about to go get Yu Zhang.
Qin Xiaoliu turned around and placed the item behind her, “Tell me whose it is!”
Li Fan was a little angered by Qin Xiaoliu’s attitude. Moreover, this matter was very important, so how could he tell her so easily? “No comment, Prince Consort. Please return the items to me.”
With both of his hands tightly holding Yu Zhang, Qin Xiaobao firmly said, “Tomorrow, I will definitely meet Yu’s master. I will not see him, just wait and give Zhou Xizhi and Jing Jiu some burning paper!” As he spoke, he turned around and walked behind Dan Rong, “Big brother, let’s go.”
“Stop being so arrogant!” Li Fan’s anger soared as he extended his palm to grab at the bed sheet covering Qin Xiao’s shoulder. His heart was filled with doubts. Although he didn’t know what Qin Xiao was thinking, she must have her own intentions if she valued him so highly.
“Brother Li, there’s no need to waste your time here. If you want to return the jade, quickly report to its owner. If I can’t return in two hours, those two will definitely die!”
“Two traitors, do you think I would care about their lives?” Although Li Fan hated those two for betraying him, he had a deep friendship with them. However, he did not beg for mercy on the surface. That thing was an important keepsake for him. It was a matter of great importance and should not be left in the hands of others.
“You can disregard their lives, but I can crush it right now. Since it is so important to you, you cannot just watch it shatter. Tomorrow morning, I will still be waiting for you here. Bring its master to see me, if not, I will report this to the imperial government and capture all of you! ” As they walked, they spoke to each other and went to the window. Immediately, they hid amongst the guards and sat down on a chair under the protection of Dan Rong. He looked at Li Fan in the room and waved his hand, signaling them to return home.
Li Fan knew that he wouldn’t be able to deal with him in a short amount of time, let alone the guards. However, he was afraid that she would actually break the jade, so he could only bitterly watch as everyone left.
