Jiang Xiao Xian stood straight in front of the assembly hall . A few ministers walked pass him and greeted him with a nod . Almost every one of them was curious to see him at the assembly hall at this time .
After a few minutes of waiting, the young general stepped up when the person he was waiting for appeared .
Jiang Xiao Tian halted when his elder brother stood in front of him, blocking his path . He curved his lips into a smile and lowered his head . "Eldest brother . Have you returned from the camp?"
Jiang Xiao Xian nodded . He gave Xiao Tian a look over before he spoke, "Follow me . "

Xiao Tian chuckled at his command . "Spare me, elder brother . I still have a few other things to deal with . I cannot spend my time accompanying you for a duel at this time . How about if I look after you once I'm done?"
The young general turned around to look at his brother with a piercing gaze .
Jiang Xiao Tian's smile gradually faded . He heaved a sigh in resignation . For years, every time he came back from his operation, his eldest brother would invite him to a duel to test his martial arts .
However, this time, Xiao Tian was surprised when his eldest brother took him to a pavilion by the lake . He watched Xiao Xian in silence as he waited for him to speak up .
"I heard that you had found someone with clues regarding the last ingredients they seek?" Jiang Xiao Xian hesitated before he continued to speak . "Can people really disappear into thin air?"
His mouth agape . Jiang Xiao Tian was not expecting his brother to ask him about the herb . "Logically, people shouldn't disappear into thin air . But the old man and his wife was the only clue we had . Even if what they said sounds unbelievable, Mingyue said, she was glad that at least there were some clues . It was better than not knowing anything . At least the herb was not a myth . "
Jiang Xiao Xian watched his brother with a complicated gaze .
"You were worried about Mingyue?" Xiao Tian guessed . "Don't worry . I will not let anything happen to her . His Majesty has agreed to dispatch a few of the soldiers confidentially to search for this herb . We will find them before Mingyue . "
"Good . " Jiang Xiao Xian nodded . "The Princess . I hope that you will not let others tell her about this information . Although the information might be difficult to believe, I do not want her to be distressed . It will only worsen her condition . "
"I understand," Xiao Tian nodded .
Jiang Xiao Xian turned around to leave and paused after a few steps . "You've met that kid, Yang Yun . "
Xiao Tian watched his elder brother and knew that he was not asking a question . "Yes . "
"What do you think about him?" Jiang Xiao Xian turned to look at his brother .
Jiang Xiao Tian laughed at his eldest brother's question . "He's not as bad as Xiao Liang described . "
The eldest brother chuckled . "Free yourself this next weekend . I have something that I need to discuss with you . "
Xiao Tian could feel his mouth twitching as he saw his brother's expression . He was sure that his elder brother was up to no good . "What are you planning?"
"What do you think?" Jiang Xiao Xian raised a brow . "When the time comes, I will send someone to take you into the camp . "
