My Father Is Definitely Possessed

Chapter 453 - 223: Why Can’t I Compete?

He could tell that all the people who came were actually royal guards.

At this moment, a general character walked out from the guards, leading a few guards directly into the small courtyard.

"Who allowed you to come in here!"

The Governor heard several footsteps coming in and became furious, turning around to shout.

Because usually no one was allowed in here, who was being so unruly today!

But when he turned around and saw the visitors, he was initially stunned.

Then he was greatly shocked.

"General Guyang!"

He never expected that the visitor would be none other than General Guyang from Beihan Country.

He was the Deputy Commander of the royal guards in the Imperial City.

Even though just a Deputy Commander,

he was a towering official compared to him, a mere local Governor, and not someone he could afford to offend.

"General Guyang, you are here..." The Governor faintly felt that something was not right, yet he held onto a sliver of hope.

General Guyang simply couldn’t be bothered to speak with him, merely told the people beside him: "Take him away!"

The Governor’s face changed dramatically!

He quickly retreated two steps, exclaiming, "Why are you taking me away, what did I do wrong? I want to see Lord Song Mingyuan!"

No one paid attention to his exclamations, two soldiers came up and were about to take him away.

He struggled, directly knocking over the birdcage behind him.

The two guards pinned him down to the ground.

"I want to see Lord Song Mingyuan!" The State Governor struggled desperately, even as his face was pinned to the ground.

The birdcage fell to the ground, and the door of the birdcage opened, the black bird jumped out of the cage.

It hopped in front of the State Governor, and the State Governor looked at the black bird in front of him, only to see that the black bird seemed to turn its head and gaze at the State Governor too.

Then it chirped and fluttered its wings, flying away.

The Governor was now dejected, being lifted up and dragged away from the courtyard, without struggling anymore, he just blankly watched the black silkie sparrow fly into the sky.

Indeed he heard the chirp of the black silkie sparrow.

It was a kind of joyous cheer, as if it saw him in his current state, and was quite pleased.

He had just said that if it didn’t sing by tomorrow, he would slaughter it, but unexpectedly, it was he who ended up in shackles.

And the one with freedom was this black silkie sparrow.

When Li Hengsheng learned that Yin Zixuan had also captured the State Governor, he was somewhat surprised.

The two seemed like old friends at first sight, and talked for a long time in the Inspection Mansion.

Yin Zixuan was amiable and quite talkative.

Li Hengsheng got along with Yin Zixuan, although he did not detect any air of arrogance from Yin Zixuan, he always felt that Yin Zixuan seemed to carry a sense of purpose.

What that purpose was, Li Hengsheng wasn’t very clear, he just had that feeling.

He was no longer the naive boy in Dao Mountain Ancient Land back then.

After experiencing the incidents with Lord Zhou and Lu Qiaoqiao, Li Hengsheng no longer believed in goodwill without reason.

So on the surface, Li Hengsheng conversed calmly with Yin Zixuan, yet in his heart, he occasionally remained vigilant against Yin Zixuan.

But it has to be admitted that if it weren’t for Yin Zixuan today, things wouldn’t have been resolved so simply.

Li Hengsheng wanted to invite Yin Zixuan for a meal, but Yin Zixuan was also eager to return and inform Li Changqing, thus he didn’t stay long.

Taking advantage of the fact that it wasn’t dark yet, he left with his people.

Inside the carriage.

A person who followed Yin Zixuan, resembling a scholar’s assistant, asked, "Your Highness, aren’t you being too courteous to Li Hengsheng? He is merely a small disciple from Dao Mountain Ancient Land, how can he be on equal terms with you, Your Highness?"

"What do you know?" Yin Zixuan said calmly, "Li Hengsheng may be nothing, but his father Li Changqing is the Painting Saint, who is now stationed in our Beihan Country, and holds a very high position in front of the Emperor."

The scholar’s assistant was taken aback, then widened his eyes and said, "Your Highness, are you perhaps thinking of competing?"

"Why can’t I compete?"

Yin Zixuan glanced at the scholar’s assistant, "Previously I had no capability, with them scheming openly and covertly, I had no right to participate. Not competing doesn’t mean I have no ambition."

"Besides, didn’t the Emperor also refrain from competing openly back then?"

Saying this, Yin Zixuan chuckled softly, "The Emperor’s story taught me a lesson, to fight for what you desire, understanding patience is also a very good strategy."

"Back then, the Emperor silently obtained the Qishan Order, and if I could get the support of Elder Changqing, I would also have a great chance!"
