Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves came from ahead, the sound as loud as thunder, echoing through the sky.

Before long, a troop of elite cavalry appeared in front of the Nanqing delegation led by Fan Xian.

Seeing this, Fan Xian had a rough idea of ​​what was going on.

When the cavalry arrived in front of Fan Xian, a burly man holding a gun raised his spear and pointed it at Fan Xian, saying:

"You must be Fan Xian, the representative of the Nanqing delegation this time!"

Upon hearing this, Fan Xian smiled and said:

"Indeed, I am Fan Xian. If I am not mistaken, this general should be Shangshan Hu, the famous general of Northern Qi!"

I wonder what brings the General here today.

Upon hearing Fan Xian's words, Shangshan Hu frowned slightly, but said nothing more, instead stating directly:

"My purpose in coming here is very clear: to bring back my godfather, Sean."

"I wonder if Lord Fan would be willing to do me, Shangshanhu, a favor and release my adoptive father?"

After listening to Shangshanhu's words, Fan Xian narrowed his eyes slightly, and the task Li Chengtian had given him and the two Grandmasters who were secretly protecting him flashed through his mind.

He pondered to himself, but his face remained perfectly calm as he slowly spoke:

"Releasing Sean is not impossible. As long as the General is willing to crawl between my legs, I will release Sean and let you take him away."

Upon hearing Fan Xian's highly insulting words, the members of Shangshanhu's group gripped their spears tightly, their eyes filled with intense killing intent as they stared intently at Fan Xian.

Shangshanhu himself was short-tempered and easily angered. Upon hearing these words, his face immediately turned extremely gloomy, and he asked in an icy tone:

"Lord Fan, are you deliberately humiliating me?"

Fan Xian's lips curled slightly, and he casually picked at his ear with his right hand, speaking with a contemptuous tone:

"I'm humiliating you, so what?"

You come here with a few hundred ragged cavalrymen and ask me for people? Who do you think you are?

Pooh!

WTF.

Uesugi Tora, who was already barely suppressing his anger, couldn't hold back any longer upon hearing Fan Xian's words. His anger erupted like a volcano. His eyes widened, his face flushed red, veins bulged, and he raised his right hand, roaring:

"Kill them!" The voice echoed across the entire grassland, filled with murderous intent and determination.

Upon hearing Shangshan Hu's angry shout, Fan Xian's lips curled up slightly, revealing a sly smile.

He knew that Uesugi Torato was truly enraged this time, but that was exactly the result he wanted to see.

So he quickly retreated back into the delegation, crossed his arms, and looked like he was watching a good show.

Uesugi Tiger's cavalry was not far from Fan Xian's delegation, so Uesugi Tiger quickly led his cavalry to within 20 meters of the delegation.

At this moment, Uesugi Tiger stared intently at Fan Xian with his large, round eyes, as if he wanted to devour him alive.

Just as Uesugi Tora raised his spear to attack Fan Xian, two figures wielding swords suddenly appeared in front of him.

They were dressed in black eunuch robes, with cold and stern faces, sharp eyes like hawks, and an aura of fierceness emanating from them.

Then, before Uesugi Tora and the others could react, the two figures vanished as quickly as ghosts.

Uesugi Tora felt a jolt in his heart, and an ominous premonition welled up inside him.

However, before he could react, he felt a sharp pain.

He looked down and saw that he had already taken flight.

As consciousness began to fade, the last thing he saw was a familiar headless corpse.

shhhhhh!

Sonorous!

Two figures weaved through hundreds of cavalrymen at incredible speed, flashing across the sky like lightning.

The longswords in their hands gleamed with a cold light, and each swing was accompanied by splattering blood, which fell onto the grass and formed scarlet flowers.

In no time, all the cavalrymen on the field had been killed, leaving only corpses on the ground and the stench of blood in the air.

Fan Xian, Wang Qinian, Gao Da, and the others watched helplessly as the soldiers were easily slaughtered by Li Qian and Li Kun, like blades of grass.

They were all dumbfounded and deeply shocked.

Only now did they truly understand why the Grandmaster was so extraordinary, and why Si Gu Jian could intimidate an entire city with his own strength.

This is absolutely terrifying!

After committing the murder, Li Qian and Li Kun vanished without a trace, like a gentle breeze.

It wasn't until the two left that Fan Xian and the others finally realized what was happening.

"How terrifying, could this be the Grandmaster?"

Gundam muttered to himself, still shaken.

"Yes! No wonder the Grandmasters have such a transcendent status. They possess such astonishing speed and powerful strength that sending out more troops to besiege them would be futile."

Wang Qi patted his chest in his youth, deeply moved.

Fan Xian stared at the two disappearing figures, his desire to become a Grandmaster growing stronger, and he was filled with anticipation for this mission.

He couldn't help but think that after completing this mission, he might also become a Grandmaster, and his emotions surged with excitement and enthusiasm.

Seeing Fan Xian's stunned expression, Wang Qinian's heart tightened. He quickly reached out to touch Fan Xian's forehead and asked worriedly:

"Lord Fan, what's wrong with you?"

Fan Xian snapped out of his daze, slapped Wang Qinian's hand away, and said irritably:

"what are you doing?"

Wang Qinian rubbed his reddened hand and said aggrievedly:

"I thought you were so frightened by what just happened that you lost your mind..."

Fan Xian rolled his eyes and retorted without any politeness:

"You're the one who's out of your mind! I'm just thinking about something."

Gundam asked with a curious look:

"Lord Fan, what are you thinking about?"

Fan Xian glanced at Gao Da, thinking that since he would need their help in the future, he might as well tell them now, so he lowered his voice and said:

"Actually, His Majesty sent us as envoys to Northern Qi with a specific mission."

Upon hearing this, Gao Da immediately perked up and hurriedly asked:

"Oh? What mission?"

Fan Xian said mysteriously:

"My main purpose this time is to humiliate the Northern Qi royal family and make them take action against us."

Then, we in Nanqing will be able to legitimately launch a war as victims.

Gao Da and Wang Qinian exchanged a glance, both seeing the surprise in each other's eyes.

They never imagined that His Majesty's thoughts ran so deep.

When Wang Qinian heard that Fan Xian was going to take him to Northern Qi, his expression changed drastically, and he involuntarily took two steps back.

0 ...

A hint of fear and hesitation flashed in his eyes, and he said in a slightly trembling voice:

"Lord Fan... um... I suddenly remembered that I have some important matters to attend to at home, so... I'm afraid I can't accompany you to Northern Qi."

After saying that, he lowered his head, not daring to look Fan Xian in the eye.

Fan Xian chuckled inwardly at Wang Qinian's reaction.

He knew this guy was a coward who would back down at the mere mention of danger.

So, he deliberately sighed, rolled his eyes, took out a hundred-tael silver note from his pocket, waved it gently, and said to Wang Qinian:

"Look at you, so pathetic! What are you afraid of?"

As you just saw, those two are His Majesty's personal guards. They were specially assigned to protect our safety on this mission to Northern Qi.

Moreover, with Tiger Guards and Black Riders following along, what do you have to worry about?

Upon hearing this, Wang Qinian's eyes gradually hardened.

He took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, strode up to Fan Xian, snatched the hundred-tael silver note, and then said righteously:

"Lord Fan is right. Since His Majesty values ​​this mission so much, we, as his subjects, should naturally do our best."

Even if one were to tragically sacrifice oneself for His Majesty's cause, it would be an honorable thing, bringing glory to one's ancestors.

After saying that, he carefully put the silver note into his pocket.

Fan Xian glanced at Wang Qinian, a slight smile playing on his lips.
