Li Chang'an sat down on a hilltop, closed his eyes, and began to sense the movements around him.
Bored, Haitang Duoduo wove a flower basket out of branches and began picking flowers, proving her exceptional flower-picking skills.
"Holy Maiden, you're skilled at picking flowers, how about picking mushrooms?"
Haitang Duoduo glared at Li Chang'an, then uprooted a mushroom.
"Take a pinch with your hand!"
Li Chang'an nodded in satisfaction, looking expectant.
Half a day later, Li Chang'an suddenly opened his eyes. "Someone's here."
Haitang Duoduo's ears twitched, but she couldn't hear anything. Her hearing was far inferior to Li Chang'an's.
The newcomer was none other than Shadow, who always kept a distance ahead of Fan Xian, watching the delegation's movements.
The Black Knights lurking in the shadows around the mission have all withdrawn, leaving the Daqing mission practically naked.
Shadow was a master of assassination, with first-rate agility and swordsmanship. He had just sat cross-legged behind a stone pillar when he noticed a figure flashing in front of him.
This situation is extremely dangerous for a shadow with a keen sense of smell!
He didn't hear any noise, only saw a fleeting figure, which meant that this person was stronger than him!
And so far, he has only met one person like Wu Zhu!
Or perhaps, the four grandmasters have arrived!
"Who is your Excellency?"
Shadow, sword in hand, was on high alert, cold sweat already beading on his back.
"laugh!"
A sound of true energy breaking through the air rang out, and the shadow instinctively used its lightness skill to dodge.
True Qi Released Externally!
"Grandmaster..."
Before Shadow could finish his mutterings, Li Chang'an rushed up behind him and struck him down with a heavy blow. Shadow hadn't even seen the enemy from beginning to end.
Li Chang'an threw him into a cave and then drifted away.
Shadow is Si Gu Jian's younger brother, and they have a blood feud. It's uncertain whether he will be friends or enemies with Li Chang'an in the future.
The chances of subduing the shadow in a short time are too slim, and it would be a waste to kill it, so let it sleep.
Not long after, Fan Xian put his plan into action near the Stone Forest.
He impersonated Uesugi Tora's men, let Sean go, and then secretly led a group to capture him.
Because Wu Zhu had told him that Ye Qingmei had traveled with Xiao En when she was young, Fan Xian wanted to know about his mother.
If Xiao En is sent back to Northern Qi, it will be difficult to interrogate him.
So Fan Xian came up with this plan: if he could capture Xiao En privately, he would have enough time to interrogate him.
Moreover, it was clearly the Northern Qi's Shang Shanhu who kidnapped Xiao En, so the Northern Qi state had nothing to say about it.
By this time, Fan Xian had already caught up with Xiao En at the Stone Forest and spent a great deal of effort to subdue him.
Just as he and Zong Zhui were about to secretly take Sean away with seven or eight Tiger Guards, an accident suddenly occurred.
"Sean must die!"
A rough male voice came out, and then a man with huge dark circles under his eyes blocked Fan Xian's way.
Fan Xian was startled. Could this person have been staying up too late? Otherwise, why would his eyes be so dark?
Chapter 108 Fan Xian's Confusion: Which group are you guys with?! (23)
Two strange short swords with iron chains instantly attacked Sean.
Fan Xian exclaimed in surprise, "Protect Xiao En!"
Zong Zhui and the Tiger Guards immediately stepped forward and entangled Lang Tao, who was of the ninth rank.
Fan Xian was filled with anxiety upon seeing Lang Tao's skills; this was a ninth-rank superior!
Wolf Peach was indeed exceptionally strong; he killed a Tiger Guard in the blink of an eye, and it didn't seem to take much effort at all.
Before Fan Xian set off, Emperor Qing met with him alone at Taiping Villa and gave him the task of killing Xiao En when the opportunity arose.
Therefore, once he found out the connection between Sean and Ye Qingmei, he planned to kill Sean.
But before that, Sean cannot die!
"Sean, who is this guy? He doesn't look like he's here to save you!"
Sean sneered, "Master Kuhe's first disciple, the number one person under the Grandmaster of Northern Qi, Lang Tao!"
This scene is rather bizarre: the people of Nanqing are protecting Xiao En, while the Tianyi Sect of Beiqi wants to kill him.
Sean gave Fan Xian a meaningful look. "You went to all this trouble, not to kill me?"
As Fan Xian dragged Xiao En away, he said, "Who said we wouldn't kill them? We're going to capture them and kill them slowly!"
Sean asked casually, "Do you know Danzhou?"
Fan Xian casually replied, "I grew up in Danzhou, how could I not know?"
Sean's expression hardened, and he instantly felt that he had figured it out.
Just now, when Fan Xian came to kill him, if Xiao En hadn't been old and frail, he would have been killed by this kid long ago.
Or, if one's physical condition were even worse, one might also be killed by this kid's poisoned dagger.
How insidious Chen Pingping is! He wants me to kill my own grandson, or for my grandson to kill me!
"Have you noticed that the Black Knights protecting you have already left?"
Fan Xian was inwardly cursing the Black Knights for being unreliable; such a powerful enemy had arrived and they still hadn't shown up.
Hearing Sean's words, he was even more shocked. It seemed that the Black Riders had really withdrawn!
Dean Chen, what exactly are you trying to do?
Seeing the surprised and uncertain expression on Fan Xian's face, Xiao En became even more convinced of his guess.
"You need to be careful of Chen Pingping, his heart is dangerous... uh!"
Sean had just uttered a sentence when he suddenly let out a muffled groan, and a short knife pierced through his chest!
It turned out that Wolf Peach was too strong and temporarily broke free from Tiger Guard, throwing a dagger that pierced Sean's back!
Left with no other choice, Fan Xian abandoned Xiao En and attacked Lang Tao.
Guo Baokun and Zhao Da, who were also lying in ambush, saw that Fan Xian was at a disadvantage. Guo Baokun hurriedly said, "Zhao Da, go help Fan Xian now!"
Zhao Da took a bite of tomato, carefully observed the battlefield, and then shook his head.
"No rush, good steel should be used where it's needed most! That prisoner's death is no big deal, what you need to save is Fan Xian!"
"To save a life, you must offer help when it's most needed. If we wait until Fan Xian is on the verge of death before intervening, he'll remember your kindness!"
Guo Baokun nodded solemnly, "That makes sense. We must remain vigilant at all times!"
Watching the battle from atop a distant stone pillar, Li Chang'an observed Fan Xianzong and the Tiger Guards besieging Lang Tao, realizing that Emperor Qing and Chen Pingping's plans had fallen apart.
Although Emperor Qing and Chen Pingping's plans were far-reaching, too many changes occurred at the last moment.
"Begonia, go and hold off Wolf Peach! Sean can't die, and he can't be taken away by someone else!"
Haitang had just finished picking a flower and looked puzzled.
"Why? What are you doing here?"
Li Chang'an ordered, "Go now! You are my subordinate now."
"Were you always so hesitant and whiny when you gave your master orders?"
After putting down the flower basket, Haitang pulled out the axe and muttered to herself, "I never complain about my master, I just chop him up with this axe!"
Li Chang'an emphasized again, "We can't let Sean die, and we can't let him fall into someone else's hands. Don't pretend you don't understand later."
Haitang said irritably, "Alright, alright, I got it!"
Wolf Peach was focused on killing Xiao En and didn't fight Fan Xian and the others to the death. In the blink of an eye, she was about to stab Xiao En in the back with her knife.
Just then, Haitang Duoduo threw her axe at just the right moment.
"Keng!"
The small axe knocked the knife off course, giving Sean a fright.
Lang Tao was completely baffled when she saw her junior sister suddenly appear.
"Junior sister, what are you doing? Master has given a strict order to kill Xiao En, why are you stopping me!"
Haitang Duoduo picked up the axe and stood in front of Sean, saying, "Senior brother, don't ask me."
"Because I don't know why I stopped you!"
Wolf Peach was completely dumbfounded. Could it be that Bitter Lotus had given Crabapple another order?
