Chapter 735 Entering The Capital Of The South Kingdom (Part One)


    Since Matthew and Harper parted from the envoy team, the team was no longer pestered by the


    poisonous insects or snakes for some reason. Everyone immediately felt worried, believing that the


    poisonous insects and snakes were chasing after the couple. They thought that Matthew drew away


    the poisonous creatures for the sake of their safety.

    If Harper knew what these people were thinking, she would absolutely despise them. The actual reason


    that they left the team was because she and Matthew suspected that there were spies in the team.


    Moreover, if they continued to stay with them, everyone in the team would not be able to endure the


    attacks of the poisonous insects and snakes any longer. They would also run out of medicinal herbs in


    no time.


    When a realization suddenly came to Harper, she asked, "Matthew, do you think the reason that these


    poisonous insects and snakes have been constantly attacking is that they want us to use up all of our


    medicine?"


    Matthew narrowed his eyes a little. Although they had bought a lot of medicinal supplies, only a few


    people knew that Harper had refined them into pills, making them convenient to be carried around. So


    how could those people know that they brought a lot of pills with them?


    "There''s a spy in the general''s mansion!"


    "What''s more, I''m afraid there''s also a spy hiding among the five hundred guards. But we don''t know


    who the spies are since we don''t know the army in the south domain very well!" Harper eximed. In


    fact, she was quite impressed. It seemed like the people who were hiding in the dark were by no


    means weak and incapable. Luther was not an ipetent man. The guards he selected must be at


    the top of their game and perhaps some of them were even his right hand. So it would be quite


    impressive to be able to ce a spy among Luther''s men.


    "We''re going to know who the spies are very soon," Matthew said while he handed Harper the fruits


    which he had washed for her. While they continued to walk, Harper took one and started eating it.


    She then blinked her eyes and stated, "You''re right. A fox always shows its tail sooner orter. But I


    wonder who the nted spy in the Birch Pass is."


    Matthew didn''t respond to her. For the time being, they couldn''t tell which one was the spy, or perhaps,


    there was more than one nted spy.


    All of a sudden, Harper stopped walking. She then turned to Matthew and asked, "Matthew, if one of


    those three people is a spy, can we get some help if something happens to us here?"


    With his arms around Harper''s waist, Matthew took her away using his flying skills. "Don''t worry about


    it. It''s time to change themander in chief of the Birch Pass. Otherwise, I''m afraid that Lucas won''t


    be able to sleep at night from worrying too much."


    Harper was a little surprised to hear that. Every time she saw Lucas, he would always make impromptu


    comic gestures and remarks. But she knew that even though he looked inconspicuous, he was an


    extremely assertive person. The troops stationed at the Birch Pass had been a burden on the emperor.


    In the past, Harrison had used them as his private army so thete emperor didn''t even want to take


    over the south domain. But Lucas decided that he wanted to do what his father couldn''t, which only


    meant that he was quite brave.


    "Who do you want to take over the Birch Pass?" Harper pointedly asked. Actually, she had already


    come up with a name in her mind, but wasn''t sure if Matthew had the same thought as her.


    "Well, who are you thinking of?"


    With utmost honesty, Harper responded, "Carlson. He is the second son of Prince Allen and he has


    been friendly with Lucas since they were children. Allen''s n is not only part of the royal family, but


    they are also loyal to the emperor. I think Carlson is the best choice."


    "I agree with you. However, it''s not him who came to the Birch Pass this time," Matthew stated with a


    smile.


    Harper''s eyes immediately lit up when she understood what Matthew meant. The situation in the Birch


    Pass was ratherplicated. Despite Carlson''s loyalty, he was actually too inexperienced to go


    against the cunning opponents in there. Therefore, a sophisticated and maniptive person was


    needed to solve the problems at the Birch Pass. And there were only a handful of people who could


    satisfy such requirements.


    "It''s Shawn," Harper delightfully eximed, unconscious of how thrilled she was. Although she didn''t


    know much about Shawn, she admired him very much.


    "Are you happy to know that it''s him?" Matthew inly asked.


    "Yeah, I''m quite happy. Last time, you and I worked together to trick him. You even beat him so hard


    that he was unable to get out of bed for days. His father almost challenged you in a fight. Now that he''s


    willing to forget all of this and even came to help us, we have to thank him some way. How about


    allowing them to take Wendy back when I return to the imperial capital? I will even try to cure her


    congenital heart disease," Harper responded after carefully thinking about it for a while.


    "Can that disease be cured?" Matthew asked in surprise. Harper had once mentioned that it was


    impossible to permanently cure heart diseases, so she could only give a person some medicine to


    stabilize their condition.


    With a bright smile on her face, Harper said, "It was impossible before, but now I''d say we have an


    eight out of ten chance. I just wonder if they''re willing to take the risk."


    "I''m sure they are if you told them what you just told me," Matthew slowly said. For every member of


    the Shen n, Wendy was their treasure. But because of her poor health, Travis was afraid that she


    would be irritated in the imperial capital. With a heavy heart, he had sent her to the south region so she


    could recover in peace. However, Travis had another reason for doing so. He did it to prevent Wendy


    from seeing Harper.


    Harper felt extremely relieved to hear that. She said, "We''re about to arrive in the capital of the South


    Kingdom. We should change our clothes before we enter the city."


    The two of them looked at each other and smiled tacitly. Then they both changed to clothing that was


    alike to the style of the South Kingdom''s native citizens. When Matthew looked at Harper who was


    dressed as a native woman, his pupils shrank a little. In the past, he had never thought that there was


    anything wrong with the local clothes of the South Kingdom. But when he saw Harper wearing simr


    clothes, he felt that they were too revealing. Especially when he saw that Harper''s slender waist was


    exposed, a dark expression could be seen in his eyes.
