Update for this week It can mean a doctor, a teacher or sir. In this case, Sir is the best context here.," King Yue greeted with a dignified nod. The people around him were more respectful to him now.
"How is the situation outside?"
"It remains the same," Tan-xiansheng shook his head.
"Your Highness."
"I said from the beginning that we should leave as soon as possible, while the court hadn't reacted. But Tan-xiansheng, you never agreed. Did you anticipate that we would end up trapped in Hanzhou like this?"
King Yue's anger could no longer be contained, and he vented his frustration at Tan-xiansheng.
After the appearance of the Hidden Dragon Guards in Hanzhou, King Yue was prepared to leave with his troops but was stopped by Tan-xiansheng, who told him to wait a little longer. He waited and waited until the court sent a large army.
If he hadn't been rescued by Tan-xiansheng and the others, he would have suspected that Shang Junlin's people were playing games with him.
"Why the hurry, Your Highness? The court is currently tied up with the situation in Beimo. How many troops can they spare to come here? Our scouts have reported that there are at most fifty thousand troops outside, which is less than half our numbers. Can they really stop us with just that?
"Your Highness, I advise you not to underestimate Shang Junlin. He has plenty of examples of winning against the odds. It was his victory with fewer troops against a larger force that brought him years of peace after defeating the late Emperor.
"Your Highness, have peace of mind. If you want to succeed, will our troops alone be enough? Your message to your people has been delivered, and once they all arrive, the real show can begin."
King Yue's gaze flickered, and he replied, "Tan-xiansheng is right. I'm being too impatient. I'm just worried that the people of Hanzhou might become dissatisfied with being trapped for so long."
Up until now, King Yue hadn't figured out how many cards these people had up their sleeves. They seemed to be helping him, but their motives were evidently not entirely pure.
King Yue was brought out of prison hastily, and he had too few loyal followers by his side. To achieve their goal, he had to rely on Tan-xiansheng and the people behind him. As for what happened afterward, they could decide when the mission was completed.
"Trivial pests. Those who don't obey can be killed," Tan-xiansheng said indifferently.
