Chapter 337: Brave Warriors
The topic of the reminder ended in silence, and the few people tacitly avoided this somewhat heavy topic.
In fact, if Fan Xian hadn't taken the initiative to ask, Mei Cheng'an had no intention of bringing up this topic with him.
Because some things are understood by those who understand, there is no need to say them out loud. Saying them out loud will not only fail to change the current situation, but will also ruin your mood.
Seeing that Fan Xian was about to become emo, Mei Cheng'an, who didn't want to be infected by him, took the initiative to suggest that a few people go and inspect the delegation.
Gaoda wouldn't say much, and Fan Xian also wanted to relax as soon as possible, so he readily agreed.
A few people strolled around and took a rough look at the delegation whose personnel had been drastically reduced, and then quickly returned to their original positions.
Mei Cheng'an plucked a piece of dogtail grass from the grass nearby, stroked it with his hands, put it in his mouth, and made two "tsk tsk" sounds.
"After the city patrol officer left, our delegation seemed to have shrunk a lot. It looked... much quieter."
In fact, he originally wanted to say "shabby", but after thinking about it, he felt that it was not appropriate. After all, it was their own delegation, and they couldn't be too shabby.
Once his attention was diverted, Fan Xian's mood quickly returned to normal. He smiled when he heard this, and followed suit and plucked one.
"It's normal to have a large number of people missing all of a sudden. You just need to get used to it. This is the original appearance of our delegation."
As he spoke, he had almost finished cleaning the dogtail grass in his hand and put it directly into his mouth. He glanced at the delegation, then suddenly frowned slightly and made a "tut" sound.
"But to be honest, I feel a little uneasy when my personal protection is gone all of a sudden."
Seeing that the two adults were picking one, Gundam felt that he would be out of place if he didn't, so he followed suit.
He simply put it into his mouth and took over the conversation.
"Don't worry, sir. We are still in the territory of Qing Kingdom. It's our own land and there shouldn't be any danger."
Hearing this, Mei Cheng'an and Fan Xian subconsciously looked at each other. After looking at each other with full of tacit understanding, they both smiled.
Seeing this, Gundam was a little confused and scratched his head.
"This... My Lords, is there anything wrong with what I said?"
Mei Chengan smiled and shook his head, saying softly.
"No, there's nothing wrong with what you said."
This is not a lie. Considering the public security of Qing State, there is indeed nothing wrong with what he said.
Under the rule of Emperor Qing, the country is prosperous and the people are strong. This is not an exaggeration. There may be bandits and robbers in the territory of Qing, but not many.
What they were worried about was not this, but the eldest princess and the possible or imminent conflict surrounding Sean.
However, it would be difficult to explain this to Gaoda right now, and it couldn't be explained clearly in a few words. Fan Xian smiled and waved his hand.
"We just want to laugh when we look at each other. It has nothing to do with you."
Gundam suddenly realized something after hearing that, and then he didn't know what he was thinking about, but he suddenly started laughing, looking silly.
This made Mei Cheng'an and Fan Xian confused. After looking at each other again, Fan Xian looked at Gaoda and asked curiously.
"What are you laughing at?"
Gundam said "oh" and laughed.
"Nothing, I just thought of something interesting, and I found it very funny, so I couldn't help laughing."
Mei Chengan raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
"Oh? Tell me something interesting."
Fan Xian also became interested and echoed the comment.
"Just, tell me, I want to hear how funny it is that can make you laugh so happily."
After being teased like this, Gundam suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He scratched his head and looked at Fan Xian and said.
"In fact, it's what the adults just said."
Fan Xian was stunned for a moment.
"my words?"
Gundam nodded.
"My Lord just said that he wanted to laugh when he looked at Xiaomei, which reminded me of a friend of mine.
He and I have a very good relationship, we can be said to be close friends. Sometimes when we look at each other, I can't help but laugh suddenly.
I can’t really explain why, I just couldn’t help it.
I thought we were the only exceptions, but I didn't expect that the two adults were the same. It turns out that all good friends in the world will want to laugh when they look at each other.
I thought it was very interesting and funny, so I couldn’t help laughing.”
Fan Xian hissed when he heard that, looked him up and down in surprise, then pointed at him and turned to smile at Mei Cheng'an.
"Don't tell me, Lao Gao is a very thoughtful person. He is good at discovering, thinking and summarizing. He is a good candidate for studying Marxist philosophy, psychology and social relations."
Mei Cheng'an couldn't help laughing when he heard that, and then he burst into laughter.
Although Fan Xian's smile was not as exaggerated as his, he also smiled with curved eyebrows and eyes, and was very happy.
Gundam was also laughing foolishly along with the two of them. Although he didn't understand what the series of "study this and that" meant, he got the general meaning. They were praising him for his good academic potential.
No matter whether the compliment is true or false, or how much sarcasm is contained in it, it is a compliment anyway, so just laugh along.
Although he laughed along, Gundam did not forget the important matter. When the two of them stopped laughing, he brought up the matter at an appropriate time.
It's about Sean stepping up his defense.
"My Lords, although Sean is still in shackles, he was once a notorious master. We still need to be on our guard against him at all times."
Fan Xian had thought about this kind of question a long time ago, and nodded when he heard this.
"I have a plan for this. For the rest of the journey, I will go and poison him every day to make sure he doesn't have the energy to cause any trouble."
Mei Chengan smiled when he heard this. "Your teacher has been poisoning him for so many years, he must have developed drug resistance in his body. Ordinary poisons may not have much effect on him. You should use something stronger and a larger dosage."
Fan Xian grinned.
"Okay, leave it to me!"
Fei Jie is a well-known master of poison. His reputation is so high that everyone has heard of it. As Fan Xian's disciple, his ability in using poison is beyond words. With Fei Jie poisoning Sean every day, the risk of Sean being dishonest would indeed be greatly reduced.
Gundam nodded silently, feeling much more relieved, but after thinking about it he subconsciously added a sentence.
"It's best to have someone watching in the car at all times."
After so many years of notoriety, Sean's horror has long been deeply rooted in people's minds, and it is never too careful when facing him.
But after saying this, Gundam felt that his idea was not very realistic. It was easy to propose but difficult to implement. Who would dare to go?
Thinking of this he sighed.
"Unfortunately, I have to be on guard all around, and my tiger guards are afraid of him and dare not get close to him. Alas."
Fan Xian smiled and patted his shoulder.
"It's human nature. I understand your thoughts, but it's really unnecessary to watch you all the time."
Mei Chengan interjected with a smile.
"Sean has killed countless people in the past. He must be going crazy after being in prison for so many years."
Fan Xian was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but after thinking about it, he quickly understood the meaning of his fellow villager's incoherent words.
A bloodthirsty person who has been holding back for so long naturally needs to release it. How to release it? Kill people. Sending someone away at this time is just sending away his head.
This is human nature!
Fan Xian's starting point for rejecting Gundam's proposal was actually based on human nature, but it was different from his fellow villager's perspective.
The fellow villager was considering it from Sean's perspective, while he was considering it from the perspective of a caretaker. Fear is a human nature.
Although the two people think from different angles, the conclusions they reach are inexplicably consistent, and they reach the same destination through different paths, which is wonderful.
Fan Xian smiled and looked at Gundam.
"As for Sean, it's enough for me to serve him poison every day. There's no need to embarrass our own people."
Seeing that both adults disagreed, Gundam, who already felt that the feasibility was not high, decided not to say anything more.
"Yes!"
After the discussion, the few people fell silent for unknown reasons, quietly looking at the delegation not far away. No one spoke for a while.
His eyes swept over Wang Qinian, who was squatting next to a stone in the grass not far away, poking the ground with a small wooden stick, and Gundam suddenly remembered an unresolved matter.
He immediately turned to look at Fan Xian and angrily complained.
"By the way, sir, I just saw Wang Qinian stealing fruit again."
"..."
Fan Xian turned his head to look at his fellow villager, and saw him looking up at the sky with an indifferent look, which made him feel unhappy.
Looking back at Gundam, Fan Xian gave a wry smile.
"Ah, you've seen it again."
Gaoda glanced at Wang Qinian, then retracted his gaze, put his palm to his mouth, and leaned close to Fan Xian and answered in a low voice.
"I keep an eye on him all the time."
After saying this, Gundam retreated to his original position and looked at Fan Xian in a deep voice.
"Sir, this man cannot be kept. If it is inconvenient for you, I will do the evil and drive him away!"
After saying that, he turned around and took action.
"Hey, hey, that's not necessary."
Fan Xian hurriedly stretched out his hand in front of him to stop him.
Gundam looked puzzled.
"why?"
"Forehead…"
In a flash, Fan Xian's brain worked rapidly and he started telling lies with his eyes open.
"In fact... all of Wang Qinian's behavior is just an illusion! He is a first-class warrior, brave and resolute!"
You know, except for the fact that his tone was a little weak at the beginning, Fan Xian's voice became louder and louder as he spoke, and his tone became more and more determined.
I guess his thoughts have been sorted out, and he spoke so decisively and confidently, as if it were a true story!
Mei Cheng'an couldn't help but burst out laughing. Seeing the two of them looking at him, he quickly covered his mouth and waved his hands.
Fan Xian glared at him fiercely. It’s fine if you just give up on your job, but can you please stop making more trouble?
Receiving his gaze, Mei Chengan made an OK gesture to him, and then made a gesture of zipping up his mouth.
Pursing his lips, Mei Chengan stretched out his right hand towards the two of them and raised it up several times, silently signaling.
"Sorry to bother you, go on, keep going."
Gaoda was the first to look away, and Fan Xian followed suit with a roll of his eyes. The two of them glanced over the incident and continued their conversation.
With a suspicious gleam in his eyes, Gundam turned his head to look at Wang Qinian's position and pointed with his finger.
"Is this true? This guy? A brave warrior?"
