24 Generals Move (2/2)

”Several servants insisted that they saw Concubine Mei strolling along with Eldest Miss before she went insane. However, what happened after...this servant is unsure. It is possible that an enemy penetrated within our men.”

General Wei's eyes narrowed dangerously. He slammed down his palm on the table angrily.

”Search all our men and monitor everyone who came in and out of the manor!”

”As you wish.”

General Wei got up to prodded about the room restlessly. He took out a simple silver hair stick out of his garment. The only thing that seemed very noticeable on the hair ornament was at the end of the tip, there was a silver flower. At the very center of the flower, there was a crystal that seemed to contain a drop of blood. He flipped over the hair stick, he couldn't bear to look at the flower without feeling guilt climbing up his heart.

What if the Blood Guards decided to betray him? No, the Blood Guards will only serve the one who had their scarce bloodline, so there was no possibility of them revealing him. This was his only trump card. He clenched the hair stick tightly.

”Did you get any new from Minster Hui's manor?”

The spy dropped his head.

”Yes, it is said they are unable to control any of the Blood Guards. They refuse to listen even with the <Roaring Dragon> token shown in their face.”

The general chuckled happily. Everything had been going out of his control so quickly, he genuinely feared for the worse, but at least he still had this trump card.

”Of course. These guards won't listen to anyone but the heirs of the bloodline. They used to treat me the same way, just like air. As long as I still have this hair stick, I'm fine.” The general muttered to himself.

”Go and ask the doctor if Eldest Miss's blood is at least contaminated by the two poisons. If it is, I'll spare her life, since she won't be worth much. If not..she has to die no matter how the emperor wants her alive. You know what you need to do, right?”

”Yes!”

”Also, check to see why Third Miss acted out so rashly today. ChunHua is a mere idiot, but if Lan'er gets too out of control, I'll have to dispose of her as well. Anything I can't control must die!”

A sweatdrop trickled down the back of the spy. This person in front of him is a ruthless man. He nodded.

”Yes, sir!”
