Chapter 25 Uninvited Guests – Part 2 (1/2)
Chapter 25 – Uninvited Guests – Part 2
Twenty members of Julu county soldiers stood in front of Zhang resident in two line formation. All of them put their right hand on the sword hilt on their waist.
*PON* *PON* *PON*
”We are the messengers of Julu Grand Administrator Guo Dian, Open the door!”
The squad captain shouted while he continued knocking the front gate.
The butler of the resident opened the gate in a hurry to greet them.
”Greeting sirs, may I know what you have come here for?”
”Is there a resident here who is called Hua Shi?”
”Yes, yes. She is our young mistress.”
The captain grinned. He came to the right place.
”Where is she now? We have a message for her!”
The butler was troubled. Zhang Jiao and Hua Shi hadn't come home yet. Whenever they went out to perform healing duty requested by the neighbor villages, they would always be away for a week or longer.
Both of them was scheduled to arrive tomorrow. The butler had to make up an excuse.
”…Sir, I'm afraid you can't see her today. She went out with our master and won't be back for today.”
”Hah? Who the hell do you think we are!? We are the Grand Administrator Guo Dian's men! We are in a hurry and we want to see her within today! If she isn't here then go get her!”
”S-Sir, s-she went out long ago! W-we don't know where she is right now!”
The butler answered in trembling voice. He was already an elder and he was afraid of the officials.
”Captain, I think he spoke the truth.”
One of the soldier whispered the squad captain. The butler was so scared that his entire body was shaking. He didn't seem to lie about Hua Shi.
Listened to the whispering, the captain glared at the butler and nodded.
”Fine! When will she come back!?”
”S-S-She will be back by tomorrow.”
”Good! Come to think of it, your house seems large, isn't it? We are going to rest in your courtyard! Clear the place and scram!”
”B-B-But sir …”
”I SAID CLEAR THIS PLACE AND SCRAM!!”
”H-Hiiiiieee!!”
The butler was helpless. He was too scared and couldn't respond with anything to make a comeback. He was so panic that he stumbled and fell on his buttock.
The captain and his men barged into Zhang resident. They shamelessly walked into the resident like it was theirs.
”Hold it!”
A voice rang out from inside the resident. Zhang Liang, Zhang Jiao's brother, walked out to stop the Julu men.
”Ah!? Who the fudge are you!?” The captain asked.
”That's my question! Who the hell do you think you are!? This is my house! My courtyard! Get the hell out!”
Unlike Zhang Jiao and Zhang Bao, Zhang Liang's main expertise was combat. He was in charge of the security in Zhang resident and also had an army camp of his own.
Because of the constant combats and his army job, his personality became aggressive by nature.
”Get the hell out! Or else!”
*Shing* *Shing* *Shing*
Zhang Liang also had his ten personal guards trailing behind him. All of them drew their weapons, standing by for order to strike.
”Hah? You wanna fight!?”
*Sheng* *Sheng* *Sheng*
Seeing Zhang Liang's unyielding attitude, the soldier captain ordered his troops to draw out their weapons too.
The situation became tense and turned into a staring contest, a battle could break out at any time.
”Ahem! Umm … Excuse me? Can all of you listen to me please?”
