In the Western Empire, Emperor Bernard, who wanted to take control of the eastern region immediately, seemed serious to hear reports from spies he sent to observe the state of the eastern region, most of the territory was under the rule of the Shu Empire.

“Your Highness, servant and others have trouble getting into the territory of Shu Empire. Let alone entering the territory of the Shu Empire, while still in the Qiao Kingdom, we already have to lose half of our total number of members,” said the man who worked as a spy for the Western Empire.

“Not that you are already past the guard without causing any traces and sounds, how could you have trouble entering the Shu Empire?” Emperor Bernard was visibly dissatisfied with the performance of his own Imperial spy.

“Your Majesty, we have done our best, but whatever means we use to infiltrate the territory of the Shu Empire, guards at the border of the Shu Empire can always find our whereabouts. They are even much harder to see than our being as spies,” the man said.

Emperor Bernard who took too little for granted the strength of the Shu Empire, he could not yet fully believe in his spy reports. He planned to send more Imperial spies to infiltrate the territory of the Shu Empire, and to the territory of the four Kingdoms that were under the rule of the Shu Empire.

“You I'm redeployed to lead the Empire's spies away to infiltrate the territory of the Shu Empire, and this time I don't want to hear of failure! Send also some spies to Tang Kingdom, Han Kingdom, Qiao Kingdom, and to Zang Kingdom!” the Emperor Bernard's.

“If you still come back with failure, I alone will eliminate you and your entire family!” Emperor Bernard never messed around with his threat.

The man before Emperor Bernard simply nodded then he immediately resigned to prepare to re-spy on the Shu Empire. He knew that Emperor Bernard had never messed around with his threat, therefore, this time he should not fail, and no matter what happened he should be able to break into the Shu Empire to gather the information Emperor Bernard needed.

This time he would bring in more members because in addition to gathering information from the Shu Empire, he also assumed the task of gathering information from the four Kingdoms under the rule of the Shu Empire. Previously he had indeed managed to break through the Qiao Empire territory, but he had not gotten any information in that Kingdom.

While Emperor Bernard was alone in his study, he read the reports of his high-ranking Imperial officials about the problems the Western Empire was facing.

In addition to the winter that was soon coming, and the lack of supplies of warm blankets for the people due to the collapse of the Qing Empire which for decades supplied warm blankets to the Western Empire. Emperor Bernard was also faced with a famine that might soon occur, because the food supply from the Kingdom of Gui they no longer get, after the Kingdom of Gui collapsed and changed its name to the Kingdom of Qiao.

The Western Empire was indeed powerful in military, weaponry and economic power. However, the strong military and wealth of the Western Empire did not guarantee that they could live independently without the help of other regions. Half of the Western Empire's basic needs were obtained from the eastern region, but after the eastern region fell into the hands of the Shu Empire, they began to have difficulty obtaining food from the eastern region.

If this situation continued, before Emperor Bernard decided to attack the Shu Empire, they would first be destroyed by winter and famine.

The Imperial Capital Shu.

The cold of the night discouraged everyone from leaving their homes. Most of the residents of the capital did choose to stay inside their homes, but not with the capital's guard soldiers. Wearing thick clothing and full armament, they carried out the usual day-to-day care. Entering the beginning of winter makes the guard soldiers have to get used to the cold of the night.

Jin Fan who tonight led his own night guard of the Imperial capital, he found no outside interference threatening the Imperial capital. Despite not finding any distractions, Jin Fan did not relax the guard because he did not want to make a mistake while working on a task.

“A quiet night. The days before the arrival of winter will be a dull night,” muttered Jin Fan.

“It is better that I go around to relieve boredom,” Jin Fan goes to leave the capital fortress, and keeps moving until he finally reaches the housing which is in the eastern region of the capital.

“It turns out this place is much more crowded than other regions.” Jin Fan saw that there were still many people who were doing activities outside the room.

Jin Fan went to one of the teahouses, and ordered tea and warm snacks to warm his body which was getting cold.

Looking at the clothes Jin Fan was wearing, the tea shop owner lady knew that her customer was one of the Empire's top officials. Knowing that, he tried not to make a mistake when giving service to customers, who could be said to be special customers who had stopped at his teahouse.

“What more would you like Mr to order?” asked the shopkeeper woman after handing over all Jin Fan's orders.

Hearing the woman's soft voice, Jin Fan turned his head to look towards the owner of the voice standing beside him. Looking at the face of the woman beside him who was smiling, inexplicably Jin Fan felt her face warm up. ‘A very beautiful woman,’ she said.

“Master, does anyone else want Master to order?” The woman asked again, and managed to disperse the daydream of Jin Fan who was enjoying the beauty before her.

Feeling uneasy from taking too long to look at the woman before him, Jin Fan immediately said. “I'll call you if you want extra tea and snacks,” Jin Fan gives a smile to the woman, then she comes back with her drinks and snacks.

“Then I go back to the back, and you can call me if you need something.” The woman returned to the back of the tavern guarding the flames of the embers.

“A very beautiful, gentle, and quite polite woman. With all the advantages, I'm sure many men want it, or maybe he already has a partner,” muttered Jin Fan started to enjoy his drink.

Just now Jin Fan enjoyed a drink that tasted sweet very fitting, two men entered the tavern and kicked the table right next to Jin Fan. Not noticing Jin Fan's whereabouts, they shouted to Bao Yu, the tea shop owner's woman.

Little ran Bao Yu out to welcome the new customers coming. However, a hand pull that was so rough made him fall into the lap of one of the men who tightly gripped his arm.

Bao Yu was all her might thrashing and trying to break free, but the man's strength was much stronger than her. Instead of escaping, the man's grip is getting tighter.

“Beautiful, you sit quietly here with me for a drink, and after this you go through the cold of the night.” The man clutching Bao Yu's arm tried to touch the sensitive part of the woman using the other hand.

However, he had not had time to do that, Jin Fan first appeared and hit his hand which was already near the sensitive area of Bao Yu.

“Using power to oppress women. Are you proud to be a man after acting like a coward?” Jin Fan stared intently at the man who had yet to release Bao Yu.

The man Jin Fan was staring at was just a cynical smile, but when he saw Jin Fan's clothes, he so quickly let go of Bao Yu. “Tu.. Sir, forgive us, we're just kidding!” The man and the other man fell to their knees before Jin Fan.

But they apologized to the wrong person. Following Qin Chen's teachings, Jin Fan was not a forgiver to criminals.

Seeing the two men kneeling before him, without Jin Fan's cue directly kicked him out of the teahouse, coinciding with that, four guard soldiers flashed in front of the teahouse and saw everything.

“Take them to jail and punish them for the toughest crime case because they already harassed a woman!” Jin Fan gave the order to the soldier who happened to pass in front of the teahouse.

“Good Mr.” They immediately dragged the two men who harassed Bao Yu into prison, and they would get the harshest punishment for their actions.

Everyone knows, the harshest punishment is the death penalty, and tomorrow the two men's heads will be hanging on the capital's fortified wall.

Jin Fan went back inside the teahouse, looking at Bao Yu who was still holding her flushed arm.

“They've got the toughest penalty. So, you need not fear them coming back to this place,” Jin Fan saw once again the state of Bao Yu.

After making sure Bao Yu only had minor injuries and suffered more trauma, Jin Fan decided to stay where he was with her.
