Chapter 168 Challenge

Shangguan Ru insisted on capturing the hidden traitor herself She only had ten killers in total, but two of them were already dead She needed to knoas responsible, whether it was a result of Servant Huan's poor command or underhand tactics from her own men

She hadn't suspected Yu Gongzi yet, as she just wanted to find the spy together with her best friend

”Alright” Shangguan Yushi+'s tone wasn't that resolute She went out, turned around and closed the door, asking, ”Do you knoho it is?”

Gu Shenwei and Shangguan Ru purposely didn't hide their presence after they entered the yard, so the sabreya immediately ran over and asked, ”What happened?”

”There's a hidden traitor in the house who has lost one palave the order first, as he had to zi's room would not run away However, he didn't finish his words as Wild Horse had already shown up

A high forehead and wide apart eyes, it was the real Wild HorseHe showed up after Tuo Nengya's appearance Although he was still half-tongued, his limbs were complete

Gu Shenwei's speculation suddenly lost its way

But he wasn't couan Ru She had heard only part of his speculations, which was exactly the parts Servant Huan guessed the most accurately

Wild Horse brought a man in black with a broken hand, whose facea pale and painful face

”Black Snake!” Tenth Gongzi and Yu Gongzi exclaimed at the same time

Gu Shenwei i

Black Snake's original nahter, he devoted hi led by Wild Horse In order to show his loyalty, he had voluntarily cut off half of his tongue and changed his name in accordance with the other members

Black Snake was an expert, but no one knehy he had never fully won the trust of Wild Horse Gu Shenwei believed that it was a little trick played by Wild Horse By being neither too close nor too far-off to his followers, Wild Horse could make people like Black Snake more loyal and work harder

The chain of evidence that had been very clear was now blurred Gu Shenwei still believed that Yu Gongzi was the arbage

Wild Horse knelt down on one knee and estures

Shangguan Ru didn't know sign language very well, so Yu Gongzi came forward to help explain, ”Black Snake has confessed He liked Lotus but was refused, so he wanted to kill her to vent his anger Servant Huan probably has heard of this?”

Shangguan Yushi+'s casual remark not only reversed the situation, but also placed Gu Shenwei in an aard position

Originally the assassination mission was a plan to lure the traitor out of the hole, but now it had becoet rid of his rival in love

Gu Shenwei shook his head and accepted his failure without saying anything

Black Snake knelt down and first koed to Wild Horse who avoided it Then he koed to Tenth Gongzi before he drew out his dagger, thrust it into his heart, and committed suicide

No one stopped him No matter what had driven him to attempt to assassinate Lotus, his actions were capital crimes

Gu Shenas even a bit jealous that Black Snake illing to die for Wild Horse He couldn't find such a person around hily sacrifice herself for him

These things have no ht Black Snake was loyal but he had already died and thus no longer had anyto either himself or Wild Horse

The action for finding the hidden traitor ended quickly, and Gu Shenwei felt that Tenth Gongzi seeation of traitors

Shangguan Ru stayed in Yu Gongzi's rooht and returned to Northern Jade City early the nextunder the protection of dozens of sabremen She summoned Servant Huan in private before she left Gu Shenwei no that the plan to find out the traitor had been at least somewhat effective

”Keep investigating, and keep an eye on Wild Horse”

Shangguan Ru didn't believe Black Snake's confession completely, which comforted Gu Shenwei a bit ”Yes, my lord”

”I was there and we all knew that the Qiu Society was prepared for the assassination Black Snake and Wild Horse didn't explain this incident”

This was a secret order Shangguan Ru forbade Servant Huan to divulge it to outsiders ”Perhaps you can tell Lotus, and let her help you” Shangguan Ru blinked her eyes, revealing a sly smile

Although Gu Shenwei had regained Tenth Gongzi's trust, he didn't have any clue about what he should do next The investigation of hidden traitors had shown Servant Huan's alertness, and he believed that Yu Gongzi would not take any new actions for some time

Gu Shenwei had no evidence now and the insiders had also died one by one Unless Yu Gongzi and Wild Horse exposed themselves, he had no way to expose their conspiracy

He told everything to Lotus, and the two had a long discussion and in the end decided to wait patiently The resentzi held for Servant Huan and si to abate; the tould definitely make another move

What worried Gu Shenwei and Lotus more was the situation in Southern Jade City

The influence of the Kun Society was slowly ebbing away now Some hold of the Kun Society began to betray thezi's territory was shrinking everyday, and the Kun Society could only keep an area on the west side In the entire eastern region, only the Blackse and the rice and flour trade hadn't openly acknowledged their protector's failure
