Dimension Demon's Chat Group

Chapter 206 Let him do it himself!

"..."

Haitang Duoduo frowned slightly, seemingly surprised that Fan Xian knew so much.

Looking at the silent Begonia Blossom, Fan Xian spoke again calmly, "It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. With me here, no one can kill the prisoner..."

"is it?"

Haitang Duoduo raised her eyebrows, seemingly somewhat unconvinced.

Fan Xian said calmly, "If you don't believe me, feel free to try."

Haitang Duoduo glanced at Fu Hao and the other two guards, and had to admit that the three of them were indeed quite strong, and could actually bring her a deadly sense of crisis.

"Three ninth-rank masters, Young Master Fan, what a generous gesture!"

Haitang Duoduo said calmly, "However, the journey is still long, there will always be opportunities..."

"No need to look for an opportunity!"

Fan Xian interrupted her without hesitation, looking calmly at Haitang Duoduo, who was frowning slightly, and said, "I can give you that opportunity right now!"

As he spoke, he glanced at the three guards beside him.

Fu Hao and his two companions immediately bowed respectfully and retreated into the convoy.

The Tiger Guards and other guards responsible for protecting the convoy exchanged glances, then sheathed their swords and stared intently at Lord Fan.

"bring it on."

Fan Xian said calmly, "Xiao En is in the carriage behind me!"

Haitang Duoduo frowned, completely baffled as to what Fan Xian was really up to.

Haitang Duoduo believes that he has three ninth-rank officials by his side, but to say that Fan Xian himself has the skills of a ninth-rank official is simply ridiculous!
After all, as everyone knows, this young Master Fan is only seventeen years old this year!

A seventeen-year-old with a rank of nine—how could there possibly be such a genius in the world?
Haitang Duoduo didn't believe her, so she pulled out another short axe from her waist, stared at Fan Xian and said, "Since you are so arrogant, then... this young lady will not be polite!"

With that, she lightly touched the ground with her toes and rushed towards Fan Xian like a gust of wind.

The short, delicate axe tore through the air, tracing an arc, and slashed fiercely toward Fan Xian's neck.

Aren't you going to dodge?
Looking at the handsome young man on horseback with a calm expression, Haitang Duoduo felt a surge of doubt and anger.

Although she was furious at Fan Xian's dismissive behavior, she certainly wouldn't want to, and wouldn't dare to, kill this important figure from the Southern Qing delegation.

After a moment's hesitation, she immediately reduced her strength and turned the axe blade to target Fan Xian's shoulder.

Noticing this, Fan Xian's lips curled up, and a hint of a smile appeared in his dark eyes.

"boom!"

The next second, a surging aura erupted from him, pressing down from all directions as if solidified, causing the surrounding air to ripple with distortion.

what? !

Feeling the overwhelming pressure of the mountain-like and fiery aura, Haitang Duoduo looked shocked and stared in disbelief at Fan Xian on horseback.

As a direct disciple of Grandmaster Kuhe, no one was more familiar with the Grandmaster's power than her.

The aura emanating from Fan Xian was not only no less than that of her master, Ku He, but even slightly surpassed it!
...How is this possible?!
How could Fan Xian possibly be a Grandmaster?!
How could there be such a young grandmaster in the world?!

Just as Haitang Duoduo was shocked, her hand movements froze for a moment due to the locked aura.

The next instant, Fan Xian on horseback finally moved. His long and powerful hand stretched out like lightning, knocking the short axe out of Haitang Duoduo's hand in an instant. Then he grabbed her collar and pressed her onto the horse's back.

From Haitang Duoduo's perspective, it was just a blink of an eye, and the scene she saw changed from the handsome young man on horseback to the muddy horse legs and the earthy ground.

"So fast!"

Haitang Duoduo was first taken aback, then felt the pressure on her back and realized her awkward situation.

Her pretty face flushed red, and she couldn't help but muster her inner energy, struggling fiercely as she cried out in shame and anger, "Fan Xian, let me go!"

Seeing this, everyone, including the three bodyguards, had strange expressions.

Fu Hao, who had just tried to make a move, couldn't help but look embarrassed, scratching his head and asking in a low voice, "Old Nie, does the young master have feelings for this Holy Maiden of Northern Qi?"

"Shut up!"

Nie Kang glared at him, then immediately looked down at his nose, mouth, and heart, as if he hadn't seen anything.

Fu Hao's hushed voice reached Fan Xian's ears, and Fan Xian's expression stiffened. He also realized that the current posture was somewhat inappropriate.

However, he suppressed his emotions and continued to hold Haitang Duoduo's wrist, pressing her onto the horse's back. Watching her struggling figure, he said calmly:
"Go back and tell Kuhe that if he wants to kill Sean by my hand, then let him do it himself!"

After saying that, he raised his hand and threw the crabapple blossoms several feet away.

Haitang Duoduo twisted her waist, spun half a circle in the air, steadied herself, and landed on the ground.

"What a fine young master Fan!"

Haitang Duoduo gazed intently at Fan Xian and said, "As expected, you are a master of disguise!"

With that, she cupped her hands in a respectful gesture, picked up the short axe from the ground, and left without looking back.

Fu Hao and the other two exchanged glances, then cautiously approached: "Young Master, are we just going to let her go like this?" "What else can we do?"

Fan Xian glanced at the three of them and said.

Fu Hao grinned and whispered, "If you like the title of Holy Maiden, Old Fu will catch her for you right now. She'll serve you tonight—"

"Oh!"

Before he could finish speaking, Fan Xian flicked him on the forehead and said irritably, "Serve my ass! If you're so capable, don't just talk about it in front of your young master. Go back and tell Wan'er about it too, okay?"

Fu Hao was shocked and immediately shut his mouth, daring not to say anything more.

Nie Kang and Shi Hanwu, standing nearby, suppressed their laughter and looked at Fu Hao with smug expressions.

Fan Xian's expression softened slightly, and he said calmly, "What is a Ninth-Rank Saintess? Grandmaster Ku He is your true opponent!"

He paused, then glanced at the lake's shimmering surface beyond the grove of dwarf firs, saying, "But before that, we must first deal with the army sent by Uesugi Tora..."

Fu Hao and his two companions perked up, immediately breaking into smiles and bowing respectfully, saying, "We will certainly not fail in our mission!"

Fan Xian said calmly, "Go!"

"Yes, son!"

The three men bowed in acceptance and strode away.

Fan Xian turned to Wang Qinian, who was supervising Xiao En in the carriage, and said, "Let's set up camp here and rest for a while. We'll continue our journey after Fu Hao and the others have cleared the roadblocks ahead."

"Yes, son."

Wang Qinian bowed and accepted the order, then left the carriage.

Before long, faint shouts and screams could be heard from the dwarf fir forest.

Fan Xian was not worried about the battle outside the dwarf grove at all. With his support, even Wang Qinian, who was skilled in lightness skills, could now exchange a few blows with a Grandmaster, not to mention his three trusted confidants who were good at fighting!
Long before Lin Yu connected to this world, these three people already possessed the strength of the upper ninth rank.

Now, each of them has been injected with serum, and with the addition of various abilities from other worlds, even if Ku He himself were to come, he probably wouldn't be a match for them!
And so, while resting in the carriage, Fan Xian opened the chat group in his mind.

At this point, the topic had long since shifted from gossip about Yun Ye to Li Shimin's Shu Han.

The group members all transformed into political experts, offering suggestions to Li Shimin in a flurry of chatter.

Because of the significant time difference between the Three Kingdoms world and the chat group, Li Shimin had already spent several months in these twenty days while the chat group was closed.

With the supplies provided by He Jingfeng and Baiyu Group, the people of Shu Han experienced the most prosperous winter of their lives.

Throughout the entire country, not a single person starved to death!
This was undoubtedly an incredible miracle for the people of that era.

As for the people of Shu who froze to death, there were quite a few, but not because of a lack of food and clothing, but because they drank too much wine on snowy nights and passed out in the streets and alleys.

In addition, it was snowing at the time, and their bodies were covered by snow, so passersby did not notice them and they froze to death overnight.

In a way, this is a bizarre way of dying that only the wealthy people of Shu could afford to drink freely.

Therefore, neither the imperial court nor the common people felt there was anything wrong with this; on the contrary, they considered it a sign of a prosperous era.

Li Shimin was furious about this. He reprimanded the ministers who had boasted about his achievements, then quickly reinstated the curfew on snowy nights in winter and issued a snow-shoveling order to prevent such tragedies from happening again.

This discussion on politics began with Li Shimin's complaint about this matter.

He truly never imagined that the curfew he had lifted specifically for the sake of the people would indirectly lead to the deaths of hundreds of people.

What was even more unexpected was the chilling attitude of the civil and military officials in the court towards this matter, as if the lives of those hundreds of people were entirely none of the responsibility of the emperor and the court.

[Su Haoming: To be fair, judging from the perspective of that era, you really bear no responsibility...]

[Li Shimin: But I have already witnessed better times; how can I be content with a small fortune based on outdated ideas?]

[Li Shimin: Putting aside everything else, just consider the new China in Brother He's world. If dozens of people freeze to death in a certain city, surely many officials will be held responsible, right?]

[He Jingfeng: Dozens of people...?]

[He Jingfeng: Then an earthquake is definitely going to happen.]

[He Jingfeng: However, comparing my side to Shu Han is really a bit unfair.]

[He Jingfeng: Whether in terms of material abundance, technological development, or various management systems, Shu Han had not yet reached the peak of the feudal era, let alone modern society.]

[Li Shimin: Of course I understand, but having witnessed better and more efficient systems, and then looking at this group of irresponsible officials under my command, I just get furious!]

[Li Shimin: How can we govern Shu Han well if we're entangled with these vermin?!]

【Su Haoming: ……】

It's clear that Li Shimin was very angry; he even uttered the word "朕" (zhen, meaning "I" or "the Emperor") in his speech.

[Su Haoming: No way, no way!]

[Su Haoming: Now is the time to need people. Let's pick the best among the worst and use them for now!]

[Su Haoming: The civil and military officials of Shu Han were considered good; at least they had the highest moral standards for the time. If it were those officials from the neighboring Cao Wei, who were particularly good at interpersonal relationships, wouldn't they have been so angry that they died on the spot?]
