Chapter 23: Ruthless hands and tough enemies

March 10, 2017Ai Hrist

Speaking of tonight’s incident, the green man and the black man’s face look very embarrassed… …

“Tonight’s incident is all my fault. I didn’t found out their plan sooner.”The black man bows his head and his face flushed.

He is a proud and confident man, but he admits his mistakes. He’s job is not really easy and tonight’s incident is a proof. But still, he can’t tolerate denying his mistakes.

Xiao Tianyao looked at his eyes, but he didn’t blame him. Instead, he changes the topic: “Is Divine Doctor Mo safe?”

“Divine Doctor Mo and his daughter are both safe. I brought them to the Xiao mansion near the Huan Mountain stream.” When the black man’s words finished, the green man frowned: “Liu Bai, do you know what you are doing? Xiao Mansion is Tianyao’s private house. How can you bring Divine Doctor Mo and his daughter in… …”

“I certainly know what I am doing. Divine Doctor Mo and his daughter are special guests. So, bringing them to the Xiao mansion near the Huan Mountain stream will keep them safe.” The black man named Liu Bai doesn’t think that his decision is wrong, but he secretly read Xiao Tianyao’s facial expression.

Although Xiao Tianyao felt dissatisfied, he didn’t show it. And just let Liu Bai assign some people to protect Divine Doctor Mo and his daughter.

“Wangye (Prince), rest assured. I already sent An Wei to secretly protect Divine Doctor Mo and his daughter,” Liu Bai’s tone is full of confidence.

An Wei’s actual role is to protect and monitor them. After all, Divine Doctor Mo and his daughter are still a stranger to them. So they still need to put a guard against them.

“Mmm.” Xiao Tianyao’s face shows satisfaction, then his eyes fell on the green robe man.

The green robe man took a breath and immediately came forward: “Both the inside and outside of the mansion is now clean. There was a total of 102 assassins and 8 spies from the palace. Those people don’t have a tattoo mark on their body, but their mouth is tightly sealed. So, we didn’t get any answer to our inquiries. There was a total of 300 archers from the outside. Aside from those who were able to escape we all catches them. All the arrows, bows and crossbow they used looks the same with the military.”

“What a big help.” Xiao Tianyao lightly hums and unconsciously tap his finger in the handrail.

*tack*tack*tack*

Once he started tapping his finger, the atmosphere inside the study room turns dangerous. Liu Bai and the green robe man couldn’t help but feel their breath turn heavy.

Ever since they met and worked with him, they learn how to read his actions. And although Xiao Tianyao treated them more like his friends, they still only bow their heads when he is thinking.

Xiao Tianyao continues tapping his finger to the handrail and his eyes slightly got narrowed. No one knows what exactly he is thinking. But, no one dared to disturbed him. After a while, he stopped and look at them. Then said: “Liu Bai, go and protect Divine Doctor Mo yourself. Then, give him whatever may satisfy him.”

“Yes.” Liu Bai said in a soft tone. Then he steps out first when he’s sure that Xiao Tianyao doesn’t have any more command.

Inside the study room, it was now only Xiao Tianyao and the green robe man. Xiao Tianyao stayed silent for a moment, then said: “Su Cha… …” He only mentions his name but didn’t say anything.

“Wangye (Prince), what’s wrong?” The green robe man named Su Cha took the initiative to asked.

“Hmm.” Xiao Tianyao didn’t try to hide his thoughts to Su Cha and said: “Benwang (This Prince) met a strange person.”

“Strange person?” Su Cha got puzzled, he made sure that both inside and outside of Prince Xiao’s Mansion is now safe and clean. So, it is very unlikely for a strange person to suddenly appear. Could it be… …

Su Cha’s eyes got wide open and look at Xiao Tianyao. However, Xiao Tianyao nodded his head and gave him a definite answer: “Lin Chujiu, the person that the emperor bestowed to be Benwang‘s (This Prince) wangfei (royal concubine).”

“Lin Chujiu? What’s wrong with her?” Su Cha got even more puzzled with Xiao Tianyao’s words.

Su Cha knows all the rumors about Lin Chujiu. And he had seen personally how arrogant the eldest miss of Lin Family is. So, Su Cha doesn’t think that there is something special about her.

Xiao Tianyao is not a talkative person, but he said Lin Chujiu is strange. So, maybe the rumors and the news they have gather is not the same. So… …
