Mafan turned his attention to Xinyi and Qinfen.
How about using these two to kill the governor? But I need someone to guide me to the mines. So killing him won't be a good solution. But I'm not sure if these two knows the location of the mines. If only that general took over this city, it would be easier for me to move around or to look over the governor's office.
He gazed at the blushing Xinyi and thought the wife could be in love. If he'd use the wife, he could easily enter their sleeping chamber and grab a chance to control the governor.
In the end, he decided to befriend Ming and bide his time. He was within the enemy's territory. To act reckless could be his end.
"Hello, Governor. Nice to meet you," Mafan approached Ming. "I'm Chen Mafan. I've just arrived this morning. I'm a merchant from Ushval country. I'm on my way to Ninpu but the people I passed by said there was a war over there."
