"Does he still have a future?"
Qian Jiyun retorted to his wife, considering that even today’s Governor was not enough to overco. Does he expect to get another al?
"That’s right."
An Jiuyue nodded in agreent.
Of course, they ca here precisely to deal with this person; how could he have a future?
"Since he has no future, it doesn’t matter how many teeth we knock out. Shall we hit the other side too, for symtry?" she suggested.
"Sure."
Qian Jiyun responded, but he didn’t raise his hand.
"I’ll strike after you’ve finished questioning." He said.
"Ahem."
An Jiuyue coughed lightly.
Were they being too excessive, discussing in front of soone when they would die, and trying to pry information from them?
However, whether he spoke or not was not up to this Governor, but rather up to them.
"Then I shall ask."
...
Not long after, the Governor was already on the brink of death.
But the necessary questions had already been asked, "Who would have thought the Retired Emperor would have so many people; does he intend to take control of the Northern Lands?"
Just from the Northern Lands alone, there were so many people aligned with the Retired Emperor, mainly because the Northern Lands were too impoverished, even they had not paid much attention.
Yet, unexpectedly, the Retired Emperor had set his sights on the Northern Lands.
"Handling them one by one isn’t a solution, let’s send soone to deal with it directly."
It’s no longer about the money or the resentnt against the Retired Emperor; the Northern Lands have beco so chaotic that adjustnts are needed imdiately.
"Alright."
Qian Jiyun lowered his gaze at the shrinking Governor on the ground and agreed.
"Contact your big brother and have him send people over."
He could certainly handle it, but given their numbers, perhaps there are even more than the Governor claid, the task is easy but troubleso due to the ti it requires.
"Alright, I’ll contact him right away."
With that, An Jiuyue disappeared into the space.
The Governor, who was more out of breath than breathing, dimly saw An Jiuyue’s figure flash and disappear, startling him so much that his eyes widened, and then he fainted.
Before losing consciousness, he had only one thought.
What kind of people he had provoked, these two royals were simply terrifying. If he had known, he wouldn’t have sided with the Retired Emperor and would have continued being a Governor, which wasn’t bad, as it provided a worry-free life.
...
"It’s simply unforgivable!"
In the imperial study room, the Emperor had already received An Jiuyue’s report and learned of the Northern Lands’ situation.
He clenched his fist heavily onto the table, causing several morials to fall to the ground, startling Eunuch Fu beside him to the point of almost kneeling.
"Your Majesty, what is the matter...?"
The Emperor was in good spirits these days because he had disposed of the Retired Emperor and his lancholy had dissipated.
But now, why was he suddenly angry again?
"Where is Gong Jian?" The Emperor asked Eunuch Fu.
Gong Jian was Gong Cheng’s elder brother, and one of the capable ministers in court, who had been dispatched to the Western Territory previously.
"To the Emperor, Lord Gong returned to the capital this morning, settled at ho, and should enter the palace to et you this afternoon."
Eunuch Fu replied, secretly breathing a sigh of relief, lucky that he knew of Lord Gong’s return, otherwise if the Emperor asked and he knew nothing, it would have further angered the Emperor.
