Chapter 32: Grand Preceptor does evil again
As Fang Tang pointed at the alleyway, he took a step forward, planning to run over and look for hio, there are people on top of the walls”
Fang Tang hastily looked over and sao black robed figures standing atop the walls on both sides Their faces were covered with black cloth,Tang was astonished Just two people were enough to hold back Song Jin and his men?
”If they were northern barbarians, why haven't they co was astonished
”Grand Preceptor's estate,” Lou Zigui intoned coolly
”What?” Fang Tang wanted to shout, but held himself back
Lou Zigui observed the situation of the battlefield Ning Xiaoyao was currently fighting while holding a brick above her head A black cat sat on her shoulders with its fangs and claws bared The two of theh for him to chortle Grand Preceptor Xie probably never expected to raise a granddaughter like this, right?
”They're really the Grand Preceptor'sdidn't understand why his Supreh in such a situation ”What does that daey want to do?”
”He wants to shock and scare His Majesty with ui withdrew his son Guards would protect Ning Xiaoyao unto death, buying enough tione, Grand Preceptor Xie could then bring his men and horses to rescue His Majesty It was strike that dealt two blows at once: to kill his enerandchild Lou Zigui looked coldly at the two men atop the wall The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind Grand Preceptor Xie wanted to be that oriole

In the long and narrow alleyway, Grand Preceptor Xie stood with his hands behind his back as he paced around in circles Song Jin and the Black Frost Cavalry, along with the rest of the Dragon Guards, were all lying on the ground Theirin their limbs Nor could they speak
”Grand Preceptor,” a black-clothedbefore him He spoke in a soft voice, ”The Northern Hu are about to lose”
Grand Preceptor Xie ground to a halt ”You're certain?”
”Yes,” the black-robed man didn't say much, but only kept to a simple word
The roup of northern barbarians were their Nine Arrow Crossbows One crossbow could shoot nine arrows at once, an excellent tool on the battlefield when they were attacking cities and seizing territories Unfortunately, Ning Xiaoyao's 600 jin carriage injured over half of the archers When she jumped up to kill the rest, the crossbows becae From that moment on, the Northern Hu were doomed to lose
Grand Preceptor Xie waved a hand to dis at his collar He slowly paced to a place with poor lighting in the alley and sat dohere no one could see his expression His callooui, because it wasn't worth wasting effort on a hters of his estate and drugged Song Jin and the rest, just so Ning Xiaoyao could watch Lou Zigui die in front of her eyes When she felt death first-hand and understood her life wouldn’t be the same without the Xie Clan's protection, she'd understand her precarious state Grand Preceptor Xie's most capable assistant, Xu Yi, walked to his side and spoke in a low voice
”Grand Preceptor, these soldiers were afflicted with a potent poison Now that His Majesty's taken care of the Northern Hu, perhaps Grand Preceptor should reconsider how to deal with these people?”
Grand Preceptor Xie hadn't planned on keeping the lives of Song Jin and his men, but now he didn't have a chance to co Xiaoyao, how could he kill Song Jin and the rest?
”Grand Preceptor could use these people's lives as collateral in the court asseed man, but his hair had already turned white while his back was stooped ”But if we do it this way, Grand Preceptor and His Majesty really will have no good feelings left” Grand Preceptor Xie shook his head with a ridiculing smile For the sake of power and absolute authority, he and Ning Yu had long forsaken ties of friendshi+p between them
A few sparrows stood on the wall behind Grand Preceptor Xie After watching the two e, a few sparrows fleay fro, where they started to chirp and cry
”Grandfather Sparrow, that Grand Preceptor Xie is too wicked!” a small sparrow cried as it hopped around ”Too wicked, chirp chirp~”
Grandfather Sparrow used his beak to comb the little sparrow's feathers ”A person like that will sink to the 18th level of hell after he dies He'll have his tiret then”
”Then what about now?” another little sparrow asked anxiously
”Go find Xiaoyao,” Grandfather Sparrow directed ”Tell her that Old Xie's up to his evil tricks again”
The little sparrow nodded and prepared to fly ahen he stopped ”There's a little gyrfalcon there Will he take us away and eat us?”
”Don't be afraid,” Grandfather Sparrow sain ”If he bites you, just say you know Xiaoyao and have soent to tell her”
”Ms and flew off
”Does Xiaoyao have a way to defeat Grand Preceptor Xie?” a few sparrows started worrying for Ning Xiaoyao's sake
Grandfather Sparrow stood on the roof and observed the crowd at the Fragrant Storey from a distance ”Xiaoyao's the emperor”
Hoas it easy to grasp everything under Heaven? The higher one's position, the greater one's responsibility When probleht not have ideas, but the ehtly chirped a few ti Xiaoyao

The little sparrow ran into the gyrfalcon as soon as it arrived at the Fragrant Storey
