Legend of the Fighter (2)
Chapters... 31: A Plan
Shao Mingrui turned his face away, trying to avoid Zhou Fan's gaze.
Tsk...
Zhou Fan hissed and stored the cultivation pill in a bottle he had just taken out.
"Let's just say the matter of the Xiu Clan is over, now what are we going to do about the Ci Clan. They should not be let go of it, or else there would be even more Clans following in their footsteps."
Shao Mingrui took out a scroll. "This is the plan of the residence of the Ci Clan, actually I already intend to finish them off. Since you're asking, let's discuss it together."
"Ease?" Zhou Fan's forehead shriveled, this 'eradicating' word seemed a bit harsh.
"They not only have ill intentions towards my residence, in recent years they have always been defaulters of imperial taxes."
Shao Mingrui added, With that alone the Ci Clan has offended the palace family, crushing them would be tantamount to helping with the duties of the imperial palace.
Zhou Fan also knew about it because the Zhou Clan used to pay taxes annually to the Wei Empire.
Simultaneously, an old man entered the room.
Shao Mingrui immediately stood up to welcome the old man's arrival. "Zhou Fan, he is Elder Song."
The old man called Elder Song bowed. Zhou Fan gave his greetings as usual.
This young man knew right away that Elder Song was Shao Mingrui, because at the entrance the old man bowed respectfully.
"Prince, if it's not wrong the Ci Clan will be visiting the Xiu Clan, it's a good time to launch a plan."
Shao Mingrui was momentarily silent, while Zhou Fan was looking at a scroll in his hand.
"If so they would cross the fog forest, since it was the only path to head to the Xiu Clan's residence."
Shao Mingrui and Elder Song looked at Zhou Fan who looked like he was going to say something.
"Because the fog was so thick at night, they must have crossed the fog forest by day. If we close the road before noon, we'll cross paths with the Ci family's entourage."
Shao Mingrui nodded, he gave an applause to Zhou Fan's suggestion. Then the man turned to Elder Song. "Older Song, prepare the troops. We'll be leaving in an hour."
Elder Song bowed, then left the room.
"He's strong." Zhou Fan could not see Elder Song's level, but what he felt was that the old man was not weak.
"Of course, he was the elder of the mother's family. He was at the level of a one-star senior fighter." Shao Mingrui explained proudly.
While Zhou Fan nodded in understanding. To face the Ci Clan led by a patriarch with nine-star emperor realm battle-level cultivation, it would at least require someone stronger.
It was Elder Song who was the answer to all of that, he would stand at the forefront and destroy the Ci Clan that was intending against his young master.
"My husband ...." The door opened, revealing a woman who came while running small.
Shao Mingrui who saw the arrival of his wife gave a big smile.
"I heard if you're going to war with the Ci Clan, do you need my help, I can tell father and he will definitely help get rid of the Ci Clan." Cheng Liyu said in a worried tone, she is really different from a while ago.
Shao Mingrui shook his head, he held both of his wife's shoulders. "This problem let your husband take care of it. Wait for me to come back."
Zhou Fan who watched as if being a mosquito repellent, he left with a slightly irritated face.
"I'll always wait for you to come back." Cheng Liyu hugged her husband and momentarily let go.
"Where is Brother Zhou?" Shao Mingrui looked at his wife alternately with Zhou Fan's seat earlier.
Cheng Liyu shrugged both of his shoulders, nor did he know when Zhou Fan came out.
While in the hallway, Zhou Fan walked about to return to his room. A few days Zhou Jim did not come out for absorbing the essence of the eighth level beast crystal. The young man did not know whether his wolf was finished or not.
Just as the door opened, he saw a big wolf walking over to him. But there is something different with this wolf, the color of its fur is not silver, but bright red.
"Is he Zhou Jim?" Zhou Fan muttered as he placed his hand on the top of the head of the red wolf.
When he saw the marks he was very familiar with, he became convinced that this red wolf was Zhou Jim.
But why did the fur turn red, did it happen because of the crystal beast containing the fire element?
"Jim, you look more and more dashing." Zhou Fan chuckled. Indeed, if you pay attention, the color red makes the wolf look rogue, very awesome.
Auk...
Zhou Jim rubbed his head against Zhou Fan's feet, making the young man spontaneously stroke his muzzle.
Zhou Fan left the room, he was already prepared to fight with the Ci family.
"Brother, you've gone anywhere. I've been looking for you in some places." Shao Mingrui came while carrying a sword on his back.
Zhou Fan snorted, he did not want to interrupt the husband and wife event between them. It would only remind him of his two wives.
Shao Mingrui then took to the courtyard, as the third prince's army had been waiting there.
"Eh... This red wolf looks gallant, I didn't realize its existence before." Shao Mingrui glanced at Zhou Jim who was walking beside Zhou Fan.
"He's the same wolf you call a shabby wolf." Zhou Fan said without turning his face, his gaze was only straight forward.
Shao Mingrui was speechless at Zhou Fan's words, after which he carefully looked at the red wolf.
"No way, you can't fool me. How can a wolf beast's fur change, he's not a chameleon."
Hearing this Zhou Fan smiled silently. "Okay, I don't know that either. It's most likely because of the crystal beast you gave me."
Shao Mingrui no longer asked or even said. They walked together until they reached a large field.
Lots of pairs of eyes that pay attention to the arrival of the three, especially the red wolf really attracts attention.
"Prince, everything is ready." Elder Song had already brought a dagger that was his fighting companion.
Shao Mingrui took a peek at his people, there were at least around eighty people with the cultivation of king to emperor fighters.
He was quite satisfied with his troops, therefore he gave a boost.
If this mission is successful and the Ci family can be quashed, then they will get a hefty bonus. That was what Shao Mingrui said to encourage his troops.
"We better not go together, or there will be a stir in Bei Xian City." Zhou Fan thought that even though their number was less than a hundred, it was still not a small amount.
"What my brother said is true, we should divide into three armies." Shao Mingrui divided the army into three. Zhou Fan, Elder Song and himself each brought troops.
Zhou Fan stomped his foot into the horse's belly, making the horse squeal and instantly move.
"I'll wait in the fog."
