Feng Jinghan was somewhat surprised to receive the notification. "I will inform the Ministry of Agriculture about the matter of the superior seeds. Why don't you stay at the inn a little longer, Father?" He did not want Emperor Feng Zhao to leave the inn while the danger had not yet passed.
"The matter of superior seeds is just an opportunity, Han'er. You have made great contributions to this matter, and some things should be resolved by now."
Feng Jinghan's breath hitched, and he instantly understood the unspoken meaning of Emperor Feng Zhao's words. Seeing Emperor Feng Zhao's resolute attitude, he suppressed his excitement and said, "Your subject will certainly not fail the people of the world."
Once the news of the improved breed spreads, the situation in the capital will inevitably escalate, and it will indeed be necessary for the emperor to return to the capital to oversee the situation.
As for the risks, Feng Jinghan decided to ask the store manager for help.
An Ge stared blankly at the task progress bar, which had suddenly exceeded halfway. She had been complaining about the task just moments before; how did it suddenly appear like this?
Just as An Ge was about to ask about Emperor Feng Zhao's recent situation, she heard Feng Jinghan requesting an audience.
"Has something happened to your father recently?" An Ge asked before Feng Jinghan could speak.
Feng Jinghan was stunned for a moment before realizing that the shopkeeper was asking about Emperor Feng Zhao's situation.
He concealed his surprise, "The shopkeeper is indeed incredibly resourceful. My father is suddenly preparing to return to the capital, and I was worried that he might encounter danger on the way, so I came to you for help."
Then, Feng Jinghan recounted the whole story in a straightforward manner.
An Ge understood; no wonder the mission had suddenly made such a big commotion.
"I am aware of this matter. I will give you the result before you leave."
Upon hearing An Ge's words, Feng Jinghan felt relieved. "Thank you, store manager."
Inside the meeting room, everyone had different expressions.
So what's your take on this?
Lu Yan spoke first, "This is easy to handle. Just tell the old emperor that someone wants to kill him, and tell him to leave after a while."
"Hu Jiu, has Lu Yan always been this simple-minded?"
"Hey, hey, hey, store manager, that's not fair, you can't just make personal attacks like that."
An Ge rolled her eyes at Lu Yan. If this method were effective, she would have already told Emperor Feng Zhao. Given her status, Emperor Feng Zhao would certainly not suspect anything and would continue to stay at the inn.
However, the mission requires helping Emperor Fengzhao overcome his difficulties, not simply surviving for two months.
Even with An Ge's protection, and Emperor Feng Zhao remaining safe for the past two months, the risks haven't been eliminated, and her mission cannot be completed. There's no guarantee that even more serious consequences might occur.
Moreover, if Emperor Feng Zhao finds out, it will alert the enemy. As an emperor, his behavior is too unpredictable, and An Ge doesn't think the other party will continue to follow her arrangements.
Moreover, every decision an emperor makes concerns the life and death of a nation. An Ge dared not gamble on what impulsive things he might do after knowing that his personal safety was threatened.
Hu Jiu comforted An Ge, "Don't worry too much, at worst we can find someone to go back to the capital with Emperor Feng Zhao."
"This is the only way now, I think I can..."
"No, you can't. Leave this to Lu Yan."
"Why?"
"OK!"
The two exchanged a glance, both seeing a look of unwavering determination in each other's eyes.
"Hu Jiu~ He hasn't even left Huaixi City yet. I'm not weak now either, and I can definitely fight against a Grandmaster."
Lu Yan was not to be outdone. "The safety of the innkeeper is related to the development of the entire inn, and cannot be threatened in the slightest. Leave this to me, and I guarantee I'll handle it perfectly."
“I think Lu Yan is right,” Chang Jin said, taking sides.
“That makes sense.” This was Rong Zhuo.
Everyone voiced their opposition to An Ge going out alone. Although An Ge was no longer weak, in their eyes, she was still the shop manager who needed protection.
An Ge was speechless; she finally understood how Lu Yan felt every time he was rebuked.
Seeing An Ge's pitiful eyes, Hu Jiu coughed and said, "Let Lu Yan go and scout ahead first. If you want to go have some fun, I'll go with you after we've settled things at the inn."
An Ge's resistance was fruitless, and she had no choice but to accept her fate.
Although there's nothing anyone can do if she insists, this is everyone's way of showing their concern for her, and An Ge doesn't want to be too willful.
"But why Lu Yan?" Although Lu Yan is highly skilled in martial arts, he is really unreliable.
Lu Yan proudly raised his head, but before he could speak, Hu Jiu said, "He looks easy to bully, and he doesn't often show up at the inn. Once he leaves, no one will notice."
"What do you mean by being easy to bully? My fight with Jiang Fengyu last time made a lot of people aware of my prowess, okay? Now I'm a little bit of a celebrity."
“When did you become a celebrity? Not many people saw you last time, and no one paid much attention to you. You’re busy with various things right now, so sending Lu Yan is actually a pretty good choice,” An Ge said after thinking it over carefully.
The meeting ended in a bittersweet atmosphere for Lu Yan. An Ge sighed as she watched the departing crowd.
"Want to go out?" Hu Jiu asked.
An Ge tilted her head. "It's not that I absolutely have to go out, it's just that I've been here for so long and it's a bit of a shame that I haven't left Huaixi City yet."
“It’s not that I disagree with you going, but the martial arts of this world are not to be underestimated. You have too little practical experience and are easily in danger. Lu Yan is not a naive person. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have escaped unscathed from the man-eating demons.”
What Hu Jiu didn't say was that the reason Lu Yan seemed so naive and innocent was simply because he was in an inn and was with An Ge.
They all have a side that is unknown to others, but when facing An Ge, those sharp claws unconsciously disappear.
"I trust you." An Ge had only acted impulsively before, but after calming down, she felt that Hu Jiu's arrangement was indeed the best.
"Once this is over, let's take a good look at the Great Ye Kingdom."
"Absolutely."
Feng Jingchi was somewhat surprised when he received the news that Emperor Feng Zhao had suddenly returned to the capital. "Why did Father Emperor make this decision so suddenly?"
The servant cautiously replied, "His Majesty and Prince Duan went out yesterday, and issued the order upon their return."
Feng Jingchi was somewhat anxious. He and Shi Xinyi's relationship had been heating up recently, but he didn't expect Feng Jinghan to take the opportunity to curry favor with his father.
"Is there anything else?" Seeing the servant's hesitant expression, Feng Jingchi became somewhat impatient.
"His Majesty says that His Highness Prince Kang does not need to accompany you on this trip back to the capital. You may arrange your own itinerary."
"Bang!" Feng Jingchi angrily smashed the tea set on the table. "I already know about this. You may leave."
After his impulsive act, Feng Jingchi felt a sudden, inexplicable panic. He realized that as his father's most beloved son, he hadn't been summoned by his father for a long time, and he absolutely had to return to the capital with him this time.
At Feng Jingchi's request, Emperor Feng Zhao agreed to let Feng Jingchi return to the capital. Feng Jinghan, who had witnessed the entire process, remained unmoved.
It was less that Emperor Feng Zhao was moved by Feng Jingchi's request, and more that he ignored it. Whether he returned to the capital or stayed, it was of no consequence to Emperor Feng Zhao.
That's the scariest part!
