The Fang and Lu Manors were not far apart. The family servant soon returned, "My lord, Fang family said that Master Fang had contracted a severe illness recently. He has a rash all over his body and a high fever. He is about to move to a house in the outskirts of the capital, it is inconvenient for him to receive any guests. Your servant saw that their courtyard had prepared carriages, their bedsheets and clothing were being burned in the backyard."

Lu Chang asked, "Does Master Fang have any words for me?"

"Yes," the family servant responded respectfully, "Master Fang asked me to give you the best of wishes, achieving your desired success."

Lu Chang sneered, waved for him to retreat and turned into the study. "Fang Qin, this old fox, he has many vile ideas in his mind, all mighty when instructing the people around him, like drawing the rivers and mountains. As soon as something happens, he reverts to his usual habit and shrinks back his neck like a turtle. In this life, he only has the ability of a Dog Head Army Master. Never mind him, now our grand plan is already more than half accomplished. Everything is ready, the only thing left is the East Wind."

The rash-covered 'Dog Head Army Master' that Lu Chang mentioned just burned his clothes and quilts, going to the Northern suburbs on a small and very ordinary palanquin. Shen Yi, who also snuck out in secret much like him, happened to be in the Northern Camp. When hearing Master Fang — the one who no one knew which side he had placed his precious buttocks on — was coming to visit, he was in shock.

The new commander of the Northern Camp was one of Tan Hong Fei's deputy generals. Knowing that this was not a trivial matter, he immediately whispered advice, "General Shen, please avoid it for the time being. Let me meet this man."

That day, Fang Qin stayed at the Northern Camp for more than an hour. No one knew what he had said. It was only once it was dark that he silently left on his small palanquin.

At the end of July, Long An Emperor's birthday was just around the corner.

Since Li Feng ascended the throne, he had never thrown a large banquet for his birthday, the Empress Dowager died early in the palace, and after the death of the former emperor, he no longer has any elders left to take care of this.

However, for this year's birthday, Li Feng finally had some movement.
