Chapter 683 -197 Nan Batian: Ah, No, Don’t… (Vote for Monthly Tickets)_2

Yu Man’er said, “Business is urgent, Lord.”

Ba Tan reluctantly let go of her hand and turned to look at Nan Batian, who was scowling, and said, “So you are Nan Batian!”

“Junior brother, come quickly to meet the Lord.”

Yu Man’er spoke. Upon hearing this, Nan Batian mechanically stepped forward, unwilling to salute. After all, this man had treated his beloved senior sister as a plaything!

Nan Batian perceived Ba Tan as a rival in love, treating him directly as an enemy.

However, Ba Tan was the Garrison Commander, and even though it was humiliating, Nan Batian had no choice but to bow and say, “Greetings, Lord Governor.”

Ba Tan waved his hand and said, “No need for such formalities. Since you are Man’er’s junior brother, you are also my junior brother. However, I heard from Man’er that your Fishing Guild Leader was overpowered by someone. What happened?”

Nan Batian replied with a somber face, “Raising a tiger brings calamity, my subordinate rebelled. I was negligent for a moment and fell into the trap of a villain. Later, the County Daru Hua Chi accused me of illicit relations with the Zoroastrian Sect, and the entire county pursued me!”

“Illicit relations with the Zoroastrian Sect, that’s a serious accusation indeed!”

Ba Tan said, then looked at Nan Batian and continued, “Enough, I understand. Come, let’s head to Mianshui City.”

“Lord, I am still a wanted man!”

Nan Batian said hesitantly. Hearing this, Ba Tan glanced at him and said, “Ha, what does a County Daru Hua Chi know about illicit relations with Zoroastrianism? If I say you are innocent, then you are. Follow me back to the city and take back your position as Guild Leader!”

“Ah, thank you, Lord.”

Upon hearing this, Nan Batian was immediately excited. Hearing this, Ba Tan nonchalantly said, “No need to thank me. You are Man’er’s junior brother; helping you is helping Man’er. Is it not, Man’er?”

“Exactly as the Lord says.”

Yu Man’er said with a cheerful smile.

Hearing this, Nan Batian tried to smile, revealing a grimace more painful than crying.

After saying this, Ba Tan turned back to Yu Man’er and asked, “Man’er, how goes the investigation into the Medicine King Treasure?”

Yu Man’er replied, “Lord, the investigation is almost complete. I estimate that in no more than half a month, the treasure will definitely appear.”

Hearing this, Ba Tan said, “Good, this treasure is very important. Once we obtain the herbs inside, I will be able to receive a reward from King Qi and may even move up in rank. Therefore, we absolutely cannot afford any mistakes this time!”

“Rest assured, Lord. With you, me, and my junior brother here, we will surely obtain the treasure. My junior brother has cultivated Mystic Ice Power, and combined with my own, we will definitely be able to open the doors of the Ice Hall and procure the precious herbs inside.”

Hearing this, Ba Tan said, “Ha, good, good.”

Let’s first head into the city and take back the position of Fishing Guild Leader.

At this moment, Nan Batian said, “Lord, what about Yelu…”

Ba Tan smiled and said, “No worries, I’m here. To me, Yelu is just a seventh-rank County Daru Hua Chi and counts for nothing. Today, we’ll definitely help you reclaim your position.”

After saying this, Ba Tan waved his hand and the guards came over. Ba Tan said, “Bring the carriage here.”

Soon, a large carriage drawn by four horses arrived. The carriage was spacious enough for one to lie down inside. Ba Tan reached out to Yu Man’er and said, “Man’er, come, join me in the carriage.”

Yu Man’er blushed and said, “Lord, why the rush…”

The two got into the carriage in front of Nan Batian and then pulled the heavy curtains. From inside the carriage came a command, “Into the city.”

The guard immediately cried out, “Into the city.”

Then everyone escorted the carriage into the city. Nan Batian watched the carriage, hearing the laughter of a woman and the presumptuous voice of a man…

Nan Batian stood frozen for a long time, already going mad inside, aching to vent, but looking at the surrounding cavalry and at the distant view of Mianshui City, he could only grind his teeth and swallow his anger.

After a while, he could only roar softly, “Chen Jiusi, it’s all your fault, I will flay you a thousand times!”

Indeed, he could only vent his rage on Chen Jie. As for his senior sister and the Garrison Commander, he could only suppress his feelings like a cuckolded fool.

But his senior sister’s actions reminded him of Huang Wan’er, and then of the cuckolding by Chen Jie, merging Chen Jie’s image with that of Ba Tan in his mind.

These two men, whom Nan Batian deeply despised, had snatched away his beloved, “I, I will definitely tear you to pieces!”

West of Mianshui City!

The entire West City, comprising twelve streets, was festooned with jubilant red silk to highlight the festive atmosphere of the day.

The main venue of the inauguration ceremony was situated in the big square of the Big Vegetable Market. This place was usually a bustling marketplace where vendors sold vegetables, but today they were not allowed to set up their stalls. Yet, they did not incur losses, because White Tiger Hall purchased all their produce.

And it wasn’t just for one day’s consumption, but nearly half a month’s, as White Tiger Hall was preparing a banquet.

A high platform was constructed in the middle of the square, surrounded by wooden fences, and at the fence’s edge were fifty large pots, with fifty chefs, each assisted by six helpers. These were the main cooks for the banquet.

And the perimeter of the square was secured by the men of White Tiger Hall.

Xiao Hu led five hundred of White Tiger Camp’s elite guards to ensure the ceremony’s order, while Zhou Chu, with over a thousand disciples of White Tiger Hall, served as the external staff for the event.

Si Xi was responsible for coordinating the logistics. The event was meticulously organized.
