The Hidden Guard relayed the information they had gathered to Wei Caijie, who stood by the window.
"The Princess is missing, the entire Xiuluo Guard has been dispatched, leaving only a few to guard the main criminals."
"Master, now is the best opportunity for us to act."
The Minister of Public Works, Master Wei, stood with his hands behind his back in front of the window.
After hearing this, he remained silent for a moment.
Since the death of his son, he had neither eaten well nor slept soundly these past days.
Whenever he closed his eyes, he saw his son bleeding from all seven orifices, loudly questioning: "Father! Why did you kill me? Avenge me, avenge me!"
Now, Master Wei was as thin as a ghost, with dark circles under his eyes, exuding a sinister aura.
He leaned on the window sill and sighed slowly.
"Originally, I wanted to find an opportunity to set both Lord Wang and the Xiuluo Guard ablaze, to avenge my son’s death!"
"But killing Wang Yi is urgent; delay it one day, and when he wakes up, he will reveal all our secrets."
"It’s a pity that I can’t use this opportunity to drag Feng Fuce into the mire as well."
"But it’s alright, as long as the green hills remain, there will be no shortage of firewood. For every one that dies, they all must accompany my son in death!"
The Hidden Guard listened to Master Wei’s soliloquy, his murmured words spilling out like a madman’s.
He fell into silence.
Master Wei turned around, his excessively gaunt cheeks sinking in, making his eyes appear skeletal, his entire presence menacingly fierce!
"Go now, not only kill Wang Yi but also burn down the Xiuluo Guard, as much as you can destroy!"
Just thinking of Feng Fuce, he wished to tear his flesh and drink his blood!
The Hidden Guard wanted to say something but ultimately held back.
He turned away and disappeared within the study.
Master Wei, anticipating the impending deaths, showed a vicious and ghastly smile.
As hideous as a demon.
Chu Ping opened Guoguo’s cell.
"The Marquis said you can’t just stay holed up in the cell every day, you must come out and walk around."
Guoguo was lying on a bed with soft bedding; he turned over stubbornly and said, "I’m too lazy to go out; besides, isn’t that demon not around? It doesn’t matter if I don’t listen."
Chu Ping rolled up his sleeves: "Who are you calling a demon? Our Marquis is the sky of the Xiuluo Guard! With him around, no matter how big the issue, it won’t crush you."
Guoguo muttered defiantly, "Still say he’s not a demon? Such a tyrant, cold and ruthless, if not like a demon, then living like King Yan!"
Chu Ping walked over and dragged him out of the cell. Latest content publıshed on NoveIꜰire.net
"The Marquis is not here, I’m ordered to watch over you, so you have to listen to me!" Chu Ping said fiercely: "Start walking now!"
Guoguo glared at him: "No wonder that Miss Qingmei ignores you with how fierce you are."
Chu Ping was taken aback: "Oh? You even know Xiao Mei?"
Guoguo sneered: "When others mention this name, you smile like a blooming flower, it’s hard not to know."
Chu Ping chuckled awkwardly: "That’s true."
Realizing the topic had diverted, he immediately motioned fiercely.
"Go, go, go, take a walk on your own! Try to escape if you want, but I figure you can’t get out of the Xiuluo Guard’s gates anyway."
Then, Chu Ping went to patrol other cells.
In recent days, Guoguo had lost the urge to escape.
It’s not that he submitted to Feng Fuce, but he realized that continuously trying wasn’t a solution.
With the means of Marquis Wan, capturing him back would be too easy.
So, he simply abandoned escaping, planning to find a legitimate opportunity to leave later on!
Thus, Guoguo changed his steps and headed directly to the courtyard he had never visited.
The Xiu Luo Envoys had also instructed that he could go to the courtyard, but he must not touch that precious orange tree.
Because those were things highly valued by the Marquis.
