Yang Fangyu wore a suspicious expression.
He turned to look at Liu Zhengwen and Fang Yong.
They had worked together for many years, and this was the first time Bai Yuan had ever needed to keep something from him.
'Who in the world are these two?'
Yang Fangyu wondered to himself. Even though he was burning with curiosity, he wasn't one to overstep his bounds. He walked out of the room briskly, without the slightest intention of eavesdropping.
As he brushed past Liu Zhengwen, however, he couldn't help but size him up a little.
Liu Zhengwen smiled and nodded.
The two men then entered the room, closing the door behind them.
"Lord Bai."
Liu Zhengwen cupped his fist in salute.
Bai Yuan replied, "Lord Liu, General Fang."
With no one else around, Bai Yuan naturally wouldn't put on airs.
He sized up Liu Zhengwen and Fang Yong.
After changing his attire, Liu Zhengwen looked much more refined. An uninformed observer might mistake him for a dashing young noble.
