Si Bai walked out swaggeringly from his residence, humming so lody with his broken five tone.
The few servants who followed him only sighed.
Everything the young lady asked him to do… he would do it happily as if it was the best thing that he could do.
This made them wondered whether it was their lady's luck or bad luck to have such a husband. Si Bai was not really good at many things, but at the very least, he treated their young lady very well.
Thus, these servants could only bear with it.
Si Bai passed by several stalls, looking at the few accessories while murmuring, "Which one will look good on Lin'er? I feel that everything looks good on her but she will scold if I waste money."
The servants ignored him.
As long as he finally headed to the designated store, they will ignore what he did on the way. Anyway, he did it for their miss.
Si Bai's eyes caught the broken copper coin and brushed the toys in front of him, as if he was really interested. However, his finger caught the bamboo stick hidden and tuck it into his sleeve.
The shopkeeper glanced at him indifferently and didn't seem to be interested in entertaining such a young master. Si Bai had been roaming around this street a few tis for the past month, so they were used to him only looking and not buying anything.
The other shopkeeper only tried to attract his attention with the ntality of trying. They knew that if he didn't think it was good enough for his wife, he will not buy it.
"Young Master, please don't forget your original intention."
"Ah?" Si Bai was still walking in leisure pace. Hearing the servant's reminder, he sighed and could only walk towards the store. The bamboo stick was deeply hidden within his clothes and would only be taken out when he was alone and no one was watching.
Slowly but surely, there were many people who were making their move.
…
There were several people who gathered together inside a dark room. It was not like they purposely made the situation seed eerie, but it was to avoid them leaking others' identity. They required to et for the ti being, so they had no other choice but to co.
"Why did you gather us here?"
"Pri Minister Lei will use the city defense strategy. In this strategy, it'll be impossible for Fei Yang Kingdom's side to advance even if they split their soldiers."
"So?"
"Our task is in the Capital City, not the frontline."
"Even if they failed, there will be other ways."
"That's why there's an order to hasten our progress. As long as dissatisfaction towards him increase, we'll be able to win this war."
"Hasten? It's already hard enough by now."
The leader chuckled. "It's naturally not easy, but it's not completely impossible. What you need to do by now is to prepare more so that there will be more troubles."
"Trouble?" Another one chuckled. "That's easy~."
"Ah right, there's also the problem from the earthquake last year that hadn't been solved…."
"I can also…"
The leader watched them expressed their opinion and nodded. They had to hurry because it would soon be the best ti.
…
The escape and chasing lasted for a few days before the two stopped in the large valley with two cities behind Pri Minister Lei.
Looking at the terrain, it was clear that Pri Minister Lei wanted to take advantage of the two cities to block Fei Yang Kingdom from sneaking to bypass them. The sea of soldiers in front of them clearly told that Zhang Xu Kingdom was ready to make this their new frontline.
"They're coming, Pri Minister Lei."
Pri Minister Lei looked into the distance towards the soldiers from Fei Yang Kingdom who were coming to et him again. His eyes flashed with annoyance as he waved his hand.
"Who co?"
"General Xing and Princess Jun Hua were at the forefront."
"Great General Wei can't just depart so quickly with Emperor Yang Zhou in his army." Pri Minister Lei looked at Long Qian Xing's direction and then glanced at Fang Sheng Lin. "You're going to fight him now."
"Finally."
Fang Sheng Lin stood up and stretched his body. He had been waiting for this for a long ti. Now it was ti for him to finally make his move against Long Qian Xing.
The long awaited battle had finally co.
"Don't return if you don't kill him," Pri Minister Lei suddenly added.
Fang Sheng Lin arched his eyebrows and looked at Pri Minister Lei behind him. The corner of his lips curled up to form a sneer. "I see."
The two of them didn't say anything else and Fang Sheng Lin walked out of the tent in light steps as if he hadn't heard the order from Pri Minister Lei properly.
General Cong, who listened to their words, felt chills from the bottom of his heart. For so reason, he knew the reason why Pri Minister Lei gave that order but he didn't dare to speak it out.
He feared that if he dared to speak it out, Pri Minister Lei will give him similar order.
"Pri Minister Lei, I…"
"You stay here for defense."
"Yes." General Cong heaved a sigh of relief. He didn't know whether he should feel pity or glad that the one given the order was Fang Sheng Lin and not him.
Anyway, this ant that he could still keep his life for a while longer.
But how long?
He didn't know.
"Commander Fang!" Outside, several soldiers greeted when they saw Fang Sheng Lin.
Fang Sheng Lin ignored them and walked away, snorted lightly. "A death's order, that's truly like him. I guess in the end, all of us are only useful tools, huh?"
