“I know.” Shen Yan stopped walking and looked at Qi Gu solemnly. “The prescription was right before us, but we don’t know if Prince Lei Ting’s men were also there with us.”
“Uh…” Qi Gu was speechless. “I hate Prince Lei Ting!”
He really wanted to end it all and kill Prince Lei Ting!
“We can’t cause trouble for Prince Zhan Yun. We’ll think of another way to obtain the prescription,” Shen Yan said.
“Is Qian Jiyun afraid of that old thing even though he’s so capable?” Qi Gu asked, puzzled.
Even Shen Yan had often praised Qian Jiyun for his capability. He was the youngest prince of the second rank—and the first one to be bestowed the title “Zhan”. The praises were no exaggeration.
Qian Jiyun had to be truly capable to be bestowed with the title. Moreover, the Emperor must have had at least 50% trust in him.
He still did not understand how Qian Jiyun made the Emperor trust him so much. How could a person like him be afraid of that old fart, Prince Lei Ting?
“What do you know?” Shen Yan glared at Qi Gu. “Qian Jiyun is not afraid of Prince Lei Ting, but we can’t owe him too much.”
He could tell Qian Jiyun was unafraid of Prince Lei Ting when he chased after them after they left the tent. However, this did not mean they could afford to be unafraid too.
“If we accept the prescription, we’ll owe him a favor. We can return that by helping him if there’s a war in the future. But do you know what it means to accept it from Qian Jiyun right under Prince Lei Ting’s nose?” he reminded Qi Gu.
Upon hearing that, Qi Gu drew in a cold breath.
By then, it would not be a simple favor anymore. It would be a huge favor because Prince Zhan Yun risked offending the royal family and gave them face.
“Prince Zhan Yun is quite calculative,” Qi Gu remarked.
Shen Yan did not reply and only smiled coldly.
Qian Jiyun might not have thought of this yet, and hence, did this.
However, that did not mean he would never think of it. He could realize the stakes involved in this after he calmed down.
When the time came, the 18 Stockaded Villages would find themselves tangled in a messy relationship with Qian Jiyun, and it would be difficult to dissociate with him.
This was not what he wanted to see. It was not the purpose of this trip either.
“Let’s go back and discuss this.”
“Okay.” Qi Gu nodded in agreement.
…
Meanwhile, Yan Feng returned to the military camp with the prescription.
“They didn’t accept it?” Qian Jiyun looked at the prescription in his hand and frowned.
However, he quickly understood Shen Yan’s intentions. He relaxed his brows.
“That’s true. Accepting such a huge favor is not something that Chief Shen can decide alone. Leave the prescription here. You may leave.”
“Yes, I’ll take my leave.”
Yan Feng placed the prescription on the table respectfully and left.
Qian Jiyun thought of An Jiuyue and muttered to himself, “Jiuyue, how are you doing?”
Things had been too urgent. He did not even realize that An Jiuyue had been hurrying on her way for several days and nights. Now that he had calmed down, he finally remembered it.
People like him had been in the military camp for many years and were used to this lifestyle. However, An Jiuyue was different. He wondered if she was able to bear it.
