C103 (1/2)
Wen Shang walked out of the room with a gloomy face. As soon as he opened the door, he saw the anxious face of the guard, and his heart sank. He had a bad feeling about this.
”Young duke.” The guard hurriedly called out upon seeing Wen Shang.
”This is not a good place to talk,” Wen Shang solemnly waved his hand to stop him.
He brought him to the secret room next door. With a wave of his hand, he opened the secret room's soundproof Spiritual Array. A layer of faint rings of light enveloped the secret room, ensuring that their conversation wasn't overheard by others.
Once someone eavesdropped, the Spiritual Array would fluctuate and he would detect it.
”Speak, what's the matter!” Wen Shang was sitting arrogantly on the only stool in the secret chamber. Although he could tell from the expression of the guards that something big must have happened, and it was not a good thing for the Wen Yuan Marquis Mansion.
However, he was still able to control his emotions and spoke plainly.
The only proof that he was not as indifferent and unmoved as he appeared was that he was covered by the wide sleeves of his robe and slowly clenched his fists.
”Young Marquis, after Lin Zheng's two guards left the Cloud Tea House, they took a shortcut back to the Eastern Marquis Manor and were intercepted and killed on the way.” The guard's expression was somewhat ugly as he said.
”Go on.” Wen Shang's expression remained the same. He knew that there was still more to come from the guards, so he said this indifferently. The bad feeling in his heart grew stronger.
”There's a guard holding the token of the black-robed guards of my Wen Yuan Mansion!” The guard said softly.
”Crack!” The sound of bones displacing each other resounded clearly in the quiet secret room. The guard's face broke into a cold sweat.
Although the young duke's expression remained calm and hadn't changed, he could feel the towering rage beneath this calm, like a volcano that was about to erupt.
The room was silent. There was only the sound of his fists clenching, causing his bones to be dislocated.
The guard only felt a terrifying pressure pressing down on him, pressing down on him until he couldn't breathe. He was drenched in cold sweat and even his legs were trembling.
As Wen Shang's personal bodyguard, he had stayed by Wen Shang's side for a long time; he knew his master very well.
Every second that he stayed, he felt as if he was wandering around the gates of hell.
”Ling …” Yun! ” Two words came out from Wen Shang's teeth, his teeth chattered, and a monstrous fury gushed from his eyes.
How could he not guess that this was a disaster born from the east, an obvious framing, and all of this was definitely led by Ling Yun. The goal was to stir up a relationship between the Wen Yuan Manor and the Eastern Marquis Manor.
This was something that was easy to see, but he could not solve it because he was too clear that this fellow was an idiot. He only believed what he saw before his eyes.
Moreover, he had always been decisive and would never listen to the opinions of others.
This time, there was really no way to explain. Lin Quan would definitely think that it was their Marquis Wen Yuan's house that had done this.
If he had only taken away Lin Zheng and nothing happened afterwards, then he could have made some compensation and settled the matter. But now it was impossible. It was impossible to resolve.
His precious son, the Lin Family's sole son, was currently at the Wen Yuan Marquis Estate.
He had instructed his subordinates to reprimand Lin Zheng for fifty times, and then to return him to the Marquis Mansion with some healing medicine.
However, Lin Zheng still had to send it back, and he also had to send out an expert to escort him. Otherwise, if he was found by Lingyun and was able to assassinate him, he really wouldn't be able to wash away the Yellow River.
From now on, the House of the Eastern Marquis would completely break away from the Marquis' Mansion and become enemies with it. Their Mansion of the Marquis of Wen Yuan would have another enemy.
