Chapter 24: Exchange

Yi Yu placed the "Dongxuanzi" on the desk and quietly examined the Chief Flag Officer standing before him.

There were only two of them in the entire military tent. To one side, a lotus-petal brazier emitted wisps of smoke, creating a very subtle atmosphere.

Li Yan wore a verdigris ancient mountain-patterned armor, with the gleaming Ring Dragon Han Sword at his waist, his gaze steady, his stance erect.

If upon entering Li Yan resembled a fierce, flaunting flame, then now, his head wrapped in a netted scarf, his waist encircled with chainmail, and his feet booted, he was like a surging active volcano, having tamed much of his unbridled ferocity.

After a good while, Yi Yu finally spoke, "General Li visits late at night just to discuss this matter with me?"

"Indeed," Li Yan replied.

Yi Yu slowly shook his head, "This matter is of great importance, you should go to Governor Li or Lord Minister Song Yingchang. I am not in a position to decide."
