Chapter 594
The countless beautiful stars in the dark night sky made one's heart tremble . The light silvery light splashed across the crescent-shaped sea below the mountain, reflecting the countless twinkling eyes . The grass by the lake was soft . The wind was gentle, like the quiet words of a person in a dream . Countless tents spread deep into the grasslands from around the crescent sea . The faint sparks of firelight reflected the stars in the sky, The herdsmen's tents were dark and bathed in the light of the stars .
Fan Xian's hand holding the round tube froze slightly as he watched without moving the movements by the King's tent on the banks of the crescent sea . It was not until a long time later that he put down the round tube . Lowering his head and tucking in his knees, he sank deep into thought .
The Chief of the Western Hu walked into that small tent and didn't come out for a long time . There were probably Hu tribe aces in the darkness around the tent acting as guards, but the entire system of defense seemed much more relaxed compared to usual . The Chief probably didn't want the court's aces to get too close to that tent .
Who lived in that small tent? Fan Xian pressed his dry lips together . His mood felt very low . This discovery was perhaps a bit strange, even stranger than his coincidental meeting with Wei Wucheng . Fan Xian did not suspect anything . It was impossible for the Hu people to imagine that someone could watch everything that was happening on the shores of the crescent sea from high up in the mountain .
This was not something humans were capable of . Science and technology were the foremost productive forces . Fan Xian's finger gently stroked the round telescope as he licked his lips . He didn't leave now . He waited silently until the Chief walked out from that tent .
The Chief wore a thin cloak . His knife was not at his side . After walking out from the tent, he turned his head and bowed slightly . Looking at his expression, it seemed that he didn't want to leave .
A cold and mocking smile appeared on the corners of Fan Xian's face .

In the following days, all the trading companies from the Central Plain began to haggle about prices for the goods they had brought with the high ranking and noble people of the Western Hu's court . In order to wait for the arrival of the people the two Virtuous Princes sent, they delayed for two days .
Naturally, the court expressed goodwill to the merchants for the goods they might import in the future, but this autumn was an exchange of a large number of luxury items . The Western Hu royalty and nobility had the most plentiful production of resources on the grasslands . They held countless amounts of gold and gemstones in their hands . They didn't even blink when using them to buy luxury items from the Central Plain .
Even though this was so, it still took four to five days for the Central Plain's merchants to sell all of their stored goods . During five days, Mu Feng'er represented the foremost trading company in Shazhou and got closer to the Hu people . He earned small amounts of money . After Fan Xian completed his responsibilities, he began to stroll around the crescent-shaped sea either watching or being watched with consideration by others .
Given his true identity, doing such a thing in the center of the Western Hu's court was an arrogant and stupid decision .
His brows had been drawn closer together, while the tips of them had been glued upward a little . His complexion changed slightly, but the thing that had not changed was his handsome appearance . When he walked along the meadow and dunes by the crescent sea, he would always be greeted with countless heated and fiery gazes .
Although the Hu women were not as promiscuous as the Central Plain's people vilified them to be, their attitude toward love and beautiful men was definitely more heated . If Fan Xian was able to show off the muscles hidden underneath his robe, he believed that this kind of warmth would be a like a fire in autumn, swallowing him whole .
However, he didn't want to develop a story that could have no conclusion in the Hu tribe . He was strolling around the crescent sea only so that he could talk with Wei Wucheng . Whether or not the thought of attracting another person's attention was hidden in his subconsciously, no one would know .
The conversations with Wei Wucheng were going well . This young man from Northern Qi had probably been on the grasslands for too long and had rarely met such a good conversation partner as Fan Xian . He came regularly to talk to him . Through a few days of conversation, Fan Xian gradually came to understand some things . However, in the last two days, Wei Wucheng became much more careful with his words, like he had received some kind of warning . At the same time, Fan Xian found that there were a few extra pairs of watching eyes around him .
Fortunately, it didn't cause any major problems . The attention of the royalty and nobility in the King's tent were still focused on the merchants and the power they represented . Fan Xian, a pretty boy in the eyes of the Hu people, did not attract too much attention . He continued to climb up the isolated mountain each night at the same time . Using the telescope, he watched everything that happened on the banks of the crescent-shaped sea .
It was not every night that the Chief would leave his tent and go to the small, tent but the frequency was particularly high . Fan Xian had long found out that the small tent behind the King's tent was where a common Hu tribe servant girl lived . There was seemingly nothing strange about it .
What was strange was why the Chief would go there and the fact that Fan Xian and Mu Feng'er found it difficult to get near . In the darkness, there were many people protecting that small tent, separating it from the world on the bank of the crescent sea .
After watching four nights, Fan Xian believed more and more firmly in his deduction . However, he couldn't help but mockingly think that this master of the grasslands was showing too much respect .
