The cryptic conversation between the two was quite puzzling for Xi Xizhi.
After they finished speaking, Xi Xizhi yawned twice in exasperation.
An Honghan glanced at Xi Xizhi and then said, "Let's talk about it in the suburbs."
After saying that, Lynn immediately and sensibly pulled back the carriage curtain for him.
An Honghan put his arm around the child's shoulder and got into the carriage. Seeing that Master Feng was still standing there, he said, "Master Feng, please come in and sit down too. Otherwise, if others gossip and say that I was disrespectful to you, that would be bad."
Xi Xizhi had just picked up her water pouch to drink when she heard this, and she spat it out with a "pfft".
Tell me... when has An Honghan ever been polite to anyone? His rudeness is that he always has a cold face, as if everyone owes him tens of millions of taels of silver.
Perhaps startled by these words, Master Feng's expression became somewhat unnatural. However, he followed An Honghan's lead and continued, "Since Your Majesty has said so, it would be truly impolite of me to refuse."
Although this carriage couldn't compare to the luxury inside the palace, it could still accommodate three people. Moreover, Xi Xizhi, that little brat, didn't take up any space at all; from the moment he got into the carriage, he had been sitting in An Honghan's lap.
The intimate actions of the two fell into the eyes of Master Feng, and he felt more and more uncomfortable. His Majesty is the true Son of Heaven, how can he mix with demons?
inappropriate.
This is really inappropriate.
Master Feng kept glancing this way, making Xi Xizhi wonder what she had done to offend him. Why did he look at her like she had a grudge? Did Master Feng still hold a grudge about her breaking into the barrier yesterday?
But Xi Xizhi felt that things were not that simple.
The carriage arrived at the outskirts of the city once again, and Xi Xizhi and the others followed the same route as before to the bottom of Broken Heart Cliff.
An Honghan did not rescind the order, so a group of Imperial Guards remained stationed below.
On the one hand, they prevented others from intruding, and on the other hand, they monitored the white fox's movements.
As soon as An Honghan and his group arrived, the commander of the Imperial Guards noticed them.
"Greetings, Your Majesty." The entire Imperial Guard bowed in unison.
Summoning the commander of the Imperial Guards, An Honghan asked, "Is there anything unusual?"
Even though An Honghan didn't say everything, everyone understood that he was asking about the White Fox.
Many people are seeing fairies for the first time and are filled with fear.
Upon seeing the Taoist priest beside His Majesty, everyone instinctively thought that this was probably the master His Majesty had summoned to exorcise the demon.
But why is this master dressed so simply? Don't all masters wear something like a Taoist robe?
As the saying goes, clothes make the man, and gold makes the Buddha.
Despite the strange looks from the crowd, Master Feng remained calm and composed.
Xi Xizhi snorted and thought to herself, "That's what you call a true master who doesn't reveal his abilities."
The most capable people are often those who don't care about fame and fortune. There are many people like Master Feng in the common world.
For example, when she first met Old Man Xu, wasn't Old Man Xu disguised as an ordinary old man?
"Your Majesty, there is nothing unusual here," the commander of the Imperial Guards replied.
An Honghan nodded in response, "So, what is it that you couldn't find?"
His words carried a chilling tone, which made the Imperial Guard Commander's knees tremble.
"For example, caves, or other hidden places, haven't you looked for them?" Generally speaking, fairies cultivate by searching for caves, especially animals like foxes.
Master Feng gave Xi Xizhi an approving look, his eyes seeming to say, "You're not bad at all."
An Honghan glanced at the commander of the Imperial Guards, signaling him to answer quickly.
"After His Majesty left yesterday, I sent two teams to survey the surrounding area and indeed found two caves."
"Have you gone to investigate?" An Honghan continued to press.
The Imperial Guard commander's face stiffened. After seeing the white fox that day, they were all a little scared. Seeing the dark cave, how could they dare to go in?
Upon seeing the answer, An Honghan's expression turned cold. "This is the Imperial Guard I have raised? You don't even have this much courage. What use are you to me? From this moment on, you are no longer the commander of the Imperial Guard! Guards, take this man away and execute him."
A good leader can cultivate good subordinates.
If even the commander is so weak and incompetent, how capable are his subordinates?
Seeing that An Honghan was about to get angry, Xi Xizhi reached out her small hand and tugged at his palm.
Anyone who encounters a fairy would likely feel a bit apprehensive.
Xi Xizhi was no exception. Before she became powerful, in the eyes of other fairies, she was nothing more than a dish to eat with alcohol, probably not even enough to fill their teeth.
“Fear is human nature, why must Your Majesty take lives?” Master Feng had always disapproved of An Honghan’s brutal rule, and now that he heard that An Honghan wanted to kill his subordinates, he felt even more uneasy.
Although An Honghan was the ruler of a country, and all kinds of demons could not get close to him, he carried an extremely heavy aura of malevolence, which was formed from the blood debts accumulated over the years.
The more blood debts one carries, the more tragic the ending usually will be.
"Your Majesty should do more good deeds and spare his life," said Master Feng, flicking his sleeves.
Xi Xizhi also thought what he said made perfect sense. An Honghan himself could not sense that murderous aura, but Xi Xizhi and Master Feng, who were cultivators, could see it clearly.
"Removing him from his post is enough; there's no need to add bloodshed," Xi Xizhi shook his arm, trying to persuade him.
If we were to name someone who is An Honghan's nemesis, it would undoubtedly be Xi Xizhi.
Hearing the child's words of persuasion, his murderous intent subsided somewhat.
Seeing that His Majesty's expression had softened, no one could believe it.
The commander of the Imperial Guards, a man accustomed to reading people's faces, immediately cried out, "Your Majesty, please forgive me this once. I will never dare to do it again."
"Do you really want me to spare him?" He turned his gaze to Xi Xizhi, seeking her answer.
Xi Xizhi immediately became the center of attention, her face flushed slightly with embarrassment.
“Yes, he didn’t do anything terribly wrong after all. We should be forgiving.” After saying this, Xi Xizhi hid behind An Honghan, trying to avoid the curious gazes of others.
