Chapter 1182 - : A Plot (2) (2/2)
The Sacred Dragon Emperor was completely bewildered, but when the man finished speaking, he became agitated again.
Could it be that Long Xi was afraid something would happen to him and had specially arranged for someone to wait outside to a.s.sist him?
When he thought of that, the Sacred Dragon Emperor’s heart steadied a little. But when he saw the situation before him, he felt very irritated. He was terrified that this man was someone that Long Xi had sent to a.s.sist him, and if Xing Hun continued to interrogate him, the man would reveal his status. Would that not be the greatest misfortune?
The more the Sacred Dragon Emperor thought about it, the more terrified he became. He had not intended to speak, but now, to prevent his status from being revealed, he could only brace himself and say to Xing Hun, “Lord Grand Tutor, I am afraid there has been some misunderstanding. It is true that this man is from my residence. I ordered him to wait for me at the entrance, but had not expected him to offend the Grand Tutor. Please, Grand Tutor, pardon him.”
Xing Hun glanced at the Sacred Dragon Emperor and said expressionlessly, “So this person is here by the crown prince’s arrangement.”
“Yes, yes, yes…” The Sacred Dragon Emperor was so frightened he broke out in cold sweat. As he met Xing Hun’s gaze, his heart was in his mouth.
Xing Hun glanced away and said, “Since it is a misunderstanding, release the man.”
The Sacred Dragon Emperor secretly heaved a sigh of relief. But before he had even completed the sigh, the guard who had caught the middle-aged man suddenly said, “Lord Grand Tutor, this man’s movements are suspicious. When we caught him, he was squatting at a corner of the wall and we noticed that he was stuffing something into a crack in the corner.”
As he spoke, the guard presented a palm-sized object that was wrapped in yellow paper, to Xing Hun.
Now everyone was stunned. The Sacred Dragon Emperor widened his eyes in disbelief. This development was wholly unexpected.
