Chapter 173 (1/2)

Chapter 173: Flauan farown-upMaster” However, their situations were as different as heaven and earth As the Kun-Horned Dragon war raged on, the Ninth Young Master Shangguan Fei was nearly forgotten

He controlled the least territory and had recruited barely a few machetemen The only consolation was that his eleven killers were all alive and kicking, whereas three of his younger sister Shangguan Ru’s killers had perished

The decision to hold the negotiations on Shangguan Fei’s territory received the approval of both sides Shangguan Ru trusted her elder brother while Meng Mingshi+ had a rather good opinion of the Ninth Young Master

During the negotiations, each side would send forth one person as not allowed to carry weapons The other uard at both ends of the lane Shangguan Fei would also dispatch three killers to guarantee the negotiators’ safety

Gu Shenwei should have thought about this sooner, but he had been preoccupied with thinking about how to kill the swords that he overlooked the most obvious fact It was only when the commandant re Master wanted this assassination to proceed seamlessly, and thus would not only send forth his best swords killers stood by and did nothing

Shangguan Ru thought that the assassination would take place on the way to the negotiations because she overly trusted her elder brother and never iined he would “betray” her

This was the first time Gu Shenwei conscientiously examined the relationshi+p between the twins He discovered that while they re becorowing since the ga” the Black Jade Palm a year back

At that time, four “raiders” were trapped in a house by Mister Guo To save Slave Huan and Master Yu, Shangguan Ru falsely placed a knife at her elder brother’s throat Though she did not go through with it, Shangguan Fei was nonetheless scared out of his wits

Since then, Shangguan Fei no longer clung on to his younger sister and Master Yu Shangguan Ru was not only unaware of it but felt pleased

But nobody irow in the dark to the extent that he viewed his younger sister as an enemy

This was like an intricate spider web in which the tug of any thread would shake the entire situation Gu Shenas merely a tiny insect stuck on it, but his position just so happened to be in the way of the masters, and as a result, his life and death became pivotal to the whole affair

No a this method to train his children; the principle behind it was the sa the apprentices kill each other, except that this time, the players themselves were not at risk, and instead it would be a bunch of nobodies who paid with their lives

Gu Shenwei pondered alone for soauan Fei, Shangguan Ru, Meng Mingshi+, and Shangguan Yushi+ flew about in his mind

When he heard a noise from outside, he opened the door and went out to take a look Tenth Young Master was standing in theservants, while a continuous streaate to report the circuuan Ru lifted her head high and spoke excitedly to Slave Huan “Let’s go and watch the fun together”

The lantern-carrying slaves walked in front while Gu Shenalked alongside Shangguan Ru, further escorted by a dozen or so attendants The Tenth Young Master had not deliberately increased her number of servants, but people froly come to North City in quick succession She had beco theroup arrived at a tower next to a border wall of North City Slave Huan followed Shangguan Ru upstairs while the attendants kept guard below

There weres left wide open, many people co theuan Ru’s arrival caused a s, while several strangers asked others to help introduce Gu Shenwei saw Shangguan Fei walk over to his younger sister and whisper a few sentences to her ear, and they laughed at the sas Fifth Young Master Meng was also present, but with a grim face, he pretended not to see her and did not coreet

The place was filled with the noble children of North City, or otherwise their personal servants, who carried lanterns, kept watching on their masters’ actions, and performed errands for them

“Look, there’s movement!” Someone shouted Everyone hastily clustered by theand peered towards South City, which was across a river

It was Horned Dragon Society’s stronghold on the other side There was a faint flickering of fla noises that beca were heard They were followed by noises of weapons colliding, curses, coreat counteroffensive at the eleventh hour was taking place under the eyes of the many nobles

“It sounds intense but we can’t see anything,” sorumbled

“You’ll be able to see clearly in a while,” Shangguan Ru replied brusquely

The first stage of the battle was disadvantageous to Kun Society There was practically no hold as all of the fighting took place outside its peri well, thereby explaining the Tenth Young Master’s irritation
