Chapter 649: What to do Next?

Qian Shi staggered to the room that was prepared for him with the help of the old eunuch by his side.

His personal guards also followed along to the room.

"Stand on guard out here and make sure that no one gets near." He said to the old eunuch and the old eunuch bowed at him.

"All of you heard his highness? Better be on alert or else..." The old eunuch turned around and barked at the personal guards.

Qian Shi pushed the doors of the room open and stepped through the door steps.

After Qian Shi went into the room and closed the doors behind him, he was able to stand up straight and walk on his own.

He took out the piece of paper that Lin Xuan Qi had passed to him earlier and his eyebrows pulled together into a deep frown when he saw what it was.

The map drawn on it had many areas that were marked to be the hiding places for the cultivators from the north.

It was clear to him that they were targeting the mines and Gui Feng City instead of Hong Feng City.

His heart sank when he thought about the damages and loss of lives that would be caused if these savages were to step foot into Gui Feng City.

Many thoughts went through his mind at the same moment.

He wouldn’t have thought that the Qing Feng Sect would be so daring and despicable.

If it weren’t for the letter from Lin Xuan Qi, the emperor might have approved the edict from the Governor of Hong Feng City as usual.

And the cultivators from the north would have been able to launch their assault on the mines and Gui Feng City without too much of a challenge.

Qian Shi gave out a long sigh at himself and how he had deemed Lin Xuan Qi to be a money and wealth loving businessman.

If not for Lin Xuan Qi’s intervention, things might have been unsalvageable.

He sat down and drummed his fingers on the table while he thought about what to do next.

With his personal army of three thousand with him, he might be able to help deal with the cultivators from the north, but it would come at a great cost for himself.

Most of the soldiers in his personal army were only mortals with only a thousand or so that were at Qi Concentration Level.

And knowing how the cultivators from the north fought, it would be a deadly battle for most of them.

He glanced at the candle with its light swaying while he thought about what to do next.

"Your highness, Master Lin is here." The old eunuch’s voice sounded from outside the room.

"Let him in." Qian Shi said and thought that it was perfect timing.

Maybe Lin Xuan Qi would have some idea on the best step of action next.

Lin Xuan Qi entered the room and closed the doors behind him.

"How are you feeling, your highness? Is it better now?" He cupped his hands at Qian Shi and asked.

Qian Shi shook his head with a deep frown and replied, "No, the headache got worse in fact."

He raised his hand with the piece of paper in it and said.

"Here, I have something that might help with the headache." Lin Xuan Qi said and he walked over to Qian Shi.

He took out another piece of paper from his sleeve pocket and handed it over to Qian Shi.

Qian Shi glanced at what was written on it and nodded his head at it.

It was perfect and he glanced at Lin Xuan Qi before he gave out another sigh again.

If only Lin Xuan Qi could join the imperial court, the Da Qian Dynasty would be so much better than it was...

But he knew how Lin Xuan Qi was and he had to accept the fact that Lin Xuan Qi wasn’t too interested.

"It’s getting late, I shall not intrude on your family any longer." Qian Shi stood up and said.

"It was a great honor to be hosting your highness tonight." Lin Xuan Qi cupped his hands at Qian Shi and said.

Qian Shi patted on his shoulders before leaving the room.

Lin Xuan Qi followed closely behind.

And just as suddenly as he came, Qian Shi left the Lin Mansion and headed for the Governor’s Residence next.

Old Heng, young master Chew and their friends gave Qian Shi a deep bow for as long as Qian Shi’s horse carriage was in sight.

It was until Qian Shi’s horse carriage and his personal guards went far that they stood straight up and turned their focus back at Lin Xuan Qi.

"Master Lin, it was such a wonderful night and experience."

"My ancestors would be happy in the heavens if they knew who I’ve met today."

"That reminds me to make some sacrifices to my ancestors when I get back."

"Your ancestors? Don’t forget about Master Lin here."

All of them joked and burst out in laughter.

It was, however, not a joke for them deep in their hearts.

They were already thinking about establishing a closer partnership with Lin Xuan Qi.

With someone like Lin Xuan Qi who had access to someone like the Duke of Mu, who knows how far their clans and families would be able to go in the future.

"Enough of the banter. We’ve intruded for too long and it’s time for us to leave." Old Heng stepped forward and said.

Lin Xuan Qi cupped his hands at him and said, "I hope the banquet was to your taste and I’ve not neglected any of you."

"No, the banquet was way above our expectations."

"I don’t think I can go a day without the roasted chicken after having tasted it."

"Me too. What can we do in the days ahead?"

Old Heng shook his head at his friends and said, "All of you old sly foxes already out to persuade Master Lin for a new item for the franchise business huh."

All of them patted on the back of their heads and gave a sheepish smile.

Lin Xuan Qi shook his head at them and said, "We can discuss it after I’m done with the shopping mall."

It was good enough for them, and they left the Lin Mansion with a full stomach and the prestige and pride of having met someone like the Duke of Mu.
