chapter 29- sean’s release from prison

The heavy iron door was slowly pulled open, and the armature, which had been oiled and maintained, did not make a creaking sound, but this silent pressure caused the crowd of inspectors guarding the door to begin to feel nervous.

Fan Xian slightly lowered his head, and his left eyelid jumped twice. He felt a bit of coldness coming from behind the iron door vaguely, as if the big man who should have been seventy or eighty years old and should have been living only on the yellow pages of history still exuded from his bones the aura that a head of secret agents should have after being imprisoned for twenty years.

The sound of the iron rope dragging on the stone road was a bit shrill, and the sound was getting louder and louder, meaning that the person inside was getting closer and closer to this big iron door.

Fan Xian raised his head and looked at the big iron door with a calm face, thinking in his heart about how Chen Pingping had led the Black Riders to raid thousands of miles during the Second Northern Expedition and catch Sean, who had secretly returned to his hometown to participate in the wedding, back to Beiqi, and what kind of style it was. But Chen Pingping also because of this incident led to the legs were abolished, this Xiao En, is really a strong man.

Xiao En was captured by the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty once again northern expedition, until after the three northern expedition, only then the powerful and unbeatable Northern Wei Dynasty was beaten to death, and finally split into countless small countries. Directly inherited the power and most of the territory of the Northern Wei, was the year the Northern Wei Festival Minister war family, established the country name for Qi.

This is the origin of today’s Northern Qi country, when the war Qingfeng Marshal was innocently deposed, the Northern Wei will fall apart, but finally still the war family from this mess suddenly born, this world affairs, to say it is really some marvelous.

Spring sunlight gently through the tall trees outside the prison, sprinkled to that iron door, branded mottled light traces on the door, at the same time also lightly imprinted on that old face, the sound of chains dragging on the ground came to an abrupt end, and a pale sigh rang out.

Outside the iron gate the four swordsmen of the six divisions of the Supervisory Yuan as if they were on the verge of a great enemy tightly gripping the noose, far away from the center of the shackle plate. There is a person in the yoke, the person is full of messy hair cloaked, hair has long been all white, looking dazzling. Wrists and feet are all steel cast shackles, the clothes on the body is washed very clean.

The sound of the old sigh, is from this person messy hair under the withered old lips issued, after the sigh, only to hear the old man sighed again: “the flavor of the sun, long time no see.”

This was naturally Sean, who had been imprisoned by Qing for twenty years, and seeing him walk out of the Heavenly Prison, the surrounding crowd of the Supervisory Academy responsible for guarding the area tensed up for no apparent reason, seemingly smelling the slightly sweet flavor of blood that was beginning to fill the air. Fan Xian frowned slightly, thinking that this man’s scent was really prone to driving people crazy. The people gripped their belt swords tightly in their hands, or their fingers gouged the triggers of their powerful crossbows, aiming at the tall but hunched over old man.

There was a muffled bang!

The former organizer of the Seven Divisions, the now cloudy-eyed cell head stepped forward and, for no apparent reason, struck Sean on the back with a stick!

Sean, however, looked as if he didn’t feel anything, slowly turning his head to look at the former organizer of the Seven Divisions of the Supervisory Academy. Gently exhaling, blowing away the messy hair in front of him, revealing those chilly and deep eyes, and those withered lips, hissing, “Old neighbor, we’ve been living together for twenty years, and I’m about to leave, and you’re just going to send me off like this?”

The former organizer of the Seven Divisions slowly closed his eyes and lowered the hand carrying the wooden stick, seemingly a little afraid of Sean’s eyes, and breathed hard twice and said, “These are the younger generation, why do you need to provoke them? If the children miss and kill you at this point, I don’t think you would be happy about it.”

Kenn blinked slowly and glanced at the pretty young man in the crowd that surrounded him.

Fan Xian realized that the other party was looking at him and forced his true qi to stabilize his mind, smiling slightly accordingly.

Sean was a little surprised that such a young scion was so calm in his mind. Shaking his head slightly, he said to the cell head, ”I’m leaving the Kingdom of Qing, so I don’t think you’ll have to stay in the Heavenly Prison any longer. However, I think that you will definitely wish for me to die, or else I will always have a way to make you repay me for these twenty years of companionship.”

The jailer’s face was expressionless, “Have a nice trip and don’t ever come back.”

Sean hissed a laugh, “I’ll be back again.” He looked into the jailer’s face and whispered, word for word, “As much torture as you used on me, I will use it on your children just the same.”

The cell head closed his eyes tightly, knowing that if Sean was able to regain control of the dark power of Northern Qi, then specifically retaliate against himself, it would be extremely difficult for him to really be able to protect his family.

Sean laughed up at the sky, and the heavy chains tied around his body began to rattle as if they were also terrified that this terrifying figure was about to be set free.

The crowd of the Supervisory Court was incredibly tense, and only Fan Xian listened to the resentment in the other party’s laughter, and other than being slightly nervous, he narrowed his eyes, still very confused as to what exactly the Elder Princess was playing this hand for.

The air outside the prison of the Supervisory Yuan was tense, and it seemed to feel that a blood light was emanating from the body of the person in the yoke.

Right at this moment, the squeaking sound rose, and the ordinary, black wheelchair slowly approached the big yoke.

The one pushing the wheelchair was Fei Jie, and sitting on the wheelchair was Chen Pingping.

The sound of the wheelchair rolling was not loud, but it was like a Brahma bell, detaching the crowd from their nervousness. When the crowd saw that Lord Dean had arrived, they breathed a sigh of relief at the same time for no reason.

Facing Sean was tense because it was unknown what this legendary figure would do once he was out of the Fan Prison.

The reason that the crowd was relieved once Chen Pingping arrived was because all the officials of the Supervisory Yuan deeply believed that as long as President Chen was around for a day, it would be impossible for Sean to rebel against the heavens.

Chen Pingping slowly raised her head, looked at the old acquaintance in the yoke and said softly, “What are you laughing at?” The words carried a hint of disdain, a hint of amusement.

Sean, who had a head full of disheveled hair, looked at Chen Pingping in the wheelchair and suddenly spoke, “I’m laughing at your pair of legs, destroyed in my hands.”

Chen Pingping smiled and shook his head, “I thought you were laughing at your miserable life, being locked up by me for twenty years, what else do you need to say? I am the victor, you are the loser, this is a fact that history has long been predetermined, you can never change it again.”

Sean roared, his white hair scattered backward like a sword, under the fury, he stepped forward two steps, the chain shook violently, the four six places of swordsmen holding the heavy shackles desperately exerted their strength before pulling him, under the strong qi rushing together, the dust before the big prison made a big mess.

Chen Pingping was not nervous at all, looked at him with pity and said, “All such an old age, how come you still have such a big fire?”

Sean suddenly closed his eyes and stood up to the sky, after a long time, his eyes opened, the cold light flourished, and he said: “Chen Pingping, do you really dare to let me go back to the north?”

Chen Pingping smiled and said, “Go back to your old age and be peaceful, now I am also old and lazy to travel so far to capture you back.”

Sean’s voice was as sharp as a knife, and his pale timbre was like rust on a knife, scraping everyone’s ears, “My son died under you at the wedding, I don’t think you’ll have any more chances to catch me back.”

Chen Pingping beckoned and Fan Xian walked over with a smile on his face, the closer he got to Sean, the more he felt the innate chill of his opponent, but he remained unchanged.

“We are already old, what else can you do? In case we have to catch you …… in the future,” Chen Pingping said with a smile, “Sean, his name is Fan Xian, he is my successor, this trip to the north, all the way accompanied by him, I think you will not be lonely.”

Xiao En slightly sidestepped, the heavy shackles and the iron cables on his hands and feet making another clashing sound, the old man gazed at the young, clean-cut Supervisory Yuan official through the hair in front of his eyes, and didn’t say anything for a long time. Only then did Fan Xian see the lingering color of resentment in Sean’s eyes.

Fei Jie, who was pushing the wheelchair, slowly said, ”Lord Sean, I was the one who poisoned that wedding. Coincidentally, Fan Xian was my student.”

Chen Pingping and Fei Jie smiled slightly at the same time, and Fan Xian smiled appropriately and spoke, “Elder Sean, so naturally, I’ll be the one to keep you company if there’s anything in the future.”

Sean laughed twice, but there was not a trace of pleasure in his laughter, only chilling blood murder. His biggest fiasco in this life was thanks to Chen Pingping and Fei Jie, but he hadn’t thought that the young man who escorted him back to the north on this trip would have such a deep relationship with them. He looked at Fan Xian with a slight sideways glance and said word for word, “You’re still too young, you’ll have to pay more attention on the way.”

Fan Xian bowed politely, “All along the way, I will learn from senior.”

The fine grass beside the road was like jasper silk, and low spring branches hung in the sky to the side of the caravan as the silent caravan left the Supervisory Court’s prison and traveled along Tianhe Avenue towards the northern city. Along the way there has been a city inspector’s office set up a gate defense, the long street above the empty, only the soldiers and officials guard, the distance can be seen vaguely some six crossbowmen, occupying some of the eaves of the building.

The side gate of the imperial city had been closed, the great inner commander Gong Dian indifferently looked at the train convoy on the long street in the distance, and suddenly opened his mouth and said, “I appreciate Fan Xian.”

The general beside him frowned, “My lord?”

The corner of Gong Dian’s lips curled slightly as he said, “You haven’t dealt with Sean, so you don’t know how dangerous this trip is. Fan Xian now has a reputation all over the world and is a powerful state relative, so there is absolutely no need to make this journey to Northern Qi, but this kid actually had the guts to answer this errand …… I do appreciate him.”

Fan Xian sat in the first carriage with his eyes closed, the real envoys had left Kyoto yesterday, and his own party plus himself, the main envoy, had dragged it out to the end because of the secret agreement to exchange Sean for Yan Bingyun. He had stopped the ridiculous idea of his family coming to see him off last night, and was fully focused on the mission of this trip.

Fan Xian seemed to be falling asleep with the ups and downs of the carriage, but in his mind, he was calculating many things, and in addition to Sean, the plan regarding Si Li Li’s Red Sleeve Recruitment was also very tricky. At this moment, he thought that the soft and charming woman who had been together for a night was in the carriage behind him, and could not help but be slightly stunned.

At this very moment, the carriage was bumping, he knew that the carriage had already run over the stone barrier of the northern city gate of Kyoto.
