"I am the real thing," said 'Yan Wang', nodding in satisfaction and raising his chin. "Good enough to replace the real thing. Why did he not allow me to perfect it? Since the Marquis also came along, let me mold one out as well. Why did he have to go straight to Jiangbei under the excuse of avoiding suspicion?"

‘Xu Ling’ said, "Not letting you mold it was for your own good, for fear that you might profane Marshal Gu's face, at that point you would be chopped alive by the Black Iron Camp."

‘Yan Wang’ glared and no longer paid him any mind, concentrating on admiring his masterpiece of a face in the mirror. Suddenly, an attendant came and said, "Your Highness, Master Xu, Governor Yang wishes to see you for an important matter, he is waiting outside."

‘Yan Wang’ and ‘Xu Ling’ looked at each other. ‘Yan Wang’ said in a hushed tone, "We already finished our act, the guests and hosts had also enjoyed the time spent together. The next step should be to pull us on their boat with bribes, right? There must be boxes of gold and silver and beauties waiting outside. Female beauties are whatever, but can the male beauties stay? Our big brother told us to keep the physical evidence well, but he didn't say what to do if there is human evidence."

‘Xu Ling’ looked back at Yan Wang's incredibly handsome face with deep facial features, accompanied by the words ‘Male Beauties’ spoken with drool, giving him a stomachache, but before he could make a sarcastic remark, there was a sudden rush of footsteps outside. The guards in the courtyard shouted for them to stop, but the visitors rushed in regardless. A series of sounds of soldiers clashing could be heard.

'Xu Ling's' face changed dramatically, he whispered, "Did we show an opening? Or..."

As the voice was still in the air, ‘Yan Wang’s’ shameless expression just now suddenly turned grave, appearing much like the real thing.

He stepped forward, pushed open the door, put his hands in his sleeves behind his back, and looked down at the people who had broken into their place in full armor and weapons, with Yang Rong Gui as the leader.

"Governor Yang, what is the meaning of this?" 'Yan Wang' asked, and behind him, 'Xu Ling' placed his hand on his waist imperceptibly, ready to rush out and create a path to escape if their identities were to be uncovered.

Who would have expected that at the next moment, Yang Rong Gui, with raging murderous intent, suddenly stepped forward, knelt on the ground, and said loudly, "Your Highness, this lowly official was worthless and incompetent. The local bandits had rebelled and blocked the communication route from Yangzhou Prefecture to Jiangbei Camp. I was forced to gather up all the guards and soldiers from the nearby cities, we pledge to protect Your Highness with our lives! The situation is critical. Please make preparations for transportation."
