Chapter 617: A to Lose an Arm?

Translator: Pika

Not only was Zu An not frightened by the e instead He’d had alh he wasn’t thinking about a h, it wasn’t fair for the euards had been rather ineffective, it was because their eneroup of assassins—the Shadow Group—and the elites of the Devil Sect had both shown up Even a grandmaster had appeared, and yet the emperor, the most powerful cultivator, had failed to show What were these guards supposed to do?

What the hell is this e anyway?

Zu An wondered if he should announce his arrival He wasn’t so keen on being caught in the crossfire

The eunuch outside spoke “My Lord Eleven, His Majesty has asked that you enter as soon as you arrive”

Zu An was overcome with blessed relief “Thank you”

He entered carefully, and was shocked to discover that the emperor wasn’t inside Instead, a e of the emperor on its reflective surface It was si mirror that he’d used to converse with Chu Chuyan, but this one wason? He looked around and saw that no one else present seemed the least bit surprised They sees worked

He quietly took a look around By now, Zhuxie Chixin was considered an old acquaintance He had always see, with his nose pointed into the sky Right noever, he was standing obediently off to the side like a little quail, his attitude incredibly respectful

The one as being pointed at and scolded was another old acquaintance, Guard General Liu Yao

He was bowing very low, and continuously begging for forgiveness The arrogance he had shown in Brighth he was the empress’ uncle, whichthat up before the e rather despondent as well Even though the Guard General, in theory, was the highest-ranking commander of the imperial palace, he usually lived in his own estate The defenses of the iht, Guerilla Warfare, and Brave Rider Generals, as well as Zhuxie Chixin’s Euards under the charge of the Supervisor of Attendants

He had already discharged his duties for the day and left the palace in high spirits, before the chaos arose at night He had been at ho a drink How could he have reacted to the situation in a timely manner?

Zu An’s eyes moved across the room It was filled with powerful players froht General Guo Zhi and Guerrilla Warfare General Zhao Yuan, whom he’d met in the eastern palace earlier

He’s seen one of the others not too long ago as well This lei, but had been stopped by his own fla Xiong

Zu An did not see the Brave Rider General here He wondered where this , elderly ave his slith

While at the acadeiven him a pictorial book that introduced the uniforms of important officials in the court This unifor worn by the Supervisor of Attendants

Was this the new Supervisor of Attendants, Murong Tong, the grandfather of Murong Qinghe?

No wonder that little girl had tanned skin Was this a hereditary trait?

His back was hter than those of the other yes-e of the euards The euards were mostly there for show Besides, he had been transferred to this post because of other reasons, not because of the most recent assassination attempt

Hmph, it’s all because of that brat, Zu An! He’s the reason I have to accoh this!

You have successfully trolled Murong Tong for 723 Rage points!

The sudden influx of Rage points gave Zu An a fright His first instinct was that Murong Tong had soht, he changed histransferred

After going at them for a while, the emperor finally calmed down He then said, “All the officials present will be demoted by one rank, and you will forfeit your salary for the next three years You will all ree your regular duties until you make up for your failures with future contributions”

“Thank you, Your Majesty!” All of them bowed low and expressed their thanks For individuals with their status, things like their salary were seen as dispensable Such a punish more than a slap on the wrist

Zu An was the only one as upset Bro, I haven’t even gotten a single paycheck yet, and you’re already going to withhold three years’ worth?

Unlike these other fellows, I don’t have any other sources of income Not only do I have to risk my life to help the emperor complete his stupid mission, I now have to work as a slave for three years?

Not even a sweatshop is this abusive!
