The eunuch re-lit the altar la all around hie, he felt for the sword that Ning Xiaoyao had replaced at his waist before cal down Then he walked to the left hand corner of the shrine and kicked against the table leg There was a clack, before the floor tile covering the dungeon split in half down the middle and opened up to reveal the hole hidden beneath The eunuch stood at the edge of the hole and peered down into the pitch-black darkness before sucking in a cold breath

Ning Xiaoyao was lying beneath the altar table as she realized the secret switch was the table leg She even began to i Clan forefather had killed off his little brother all those hundreds of years ago As soon as he kicked the table leg, the floor would’ve opened up it’s gaping eon cell Then a second kick would seal up the door and muffle all of the ht The emperor’s throne really was a precarious position!

While Ning Xiaoyao was sighing over an eale was already too impatient to sit down back at the Supreui, shocked at the revelation The Grand Preceptor was si to revolt!

“Then, then what do we do?” Shadowgale anxiously asked Lou Zigui When he heard that the Grand Preceptor had already snuck in troops to the capital, he was utterly discomfited

“He just finished ui waved his hand to indicate the Dragon Guards to sit “I don’t think the Grand Preceptor’s planning to use these soldiers at the Grand Sacrificial Ceremony”

“Then what are they for?” Fang Tang asked He and the rest of the Black Frost Cavalry generals were more objective about the situation, but anxious all the same

“Xie Wenyuan feels ill at ease as a result of all the recent events,” Lou Zigui said coldly, “So he transferred his external troops into the capital They caht time to help him out”

“Can’t we give theeneral asked “Before the Grand Sacrificial Ceremony, even?”

Lou Zigui shook his head “Then wouldn’t we give the Grand Preceptor a legiti?”

The room lapsed into silence

“Prepare a set of civilian clothes,” Lou Zigui ordered, before telling Shadowgale, “If we can’t defeat them, then we’ll escape with His Majesty”

“That’s right!” Fang Tang leapt out of his chair “We can take His Majesty to Anyuan, ah Who the hell’s afraid of Xie Wenyuan there?”

The four head colances If they went to Anyuan, then His Majesty would have to listen to this Supreain

“Supreenerals on his left said “Taking His Majesty to Anyuan is one solution, but hoe get everyone out of the palace? And after that, hoe get out of the city? Even if we e all that peacefully, how are we supposed to escape Xie Wenyuan’s assassins the entire way back?” His successive questions plunged the rooain All of the capital’s troops were under Grand Preceptor Xie’s command How could it be a simple matter to take His Majesty out of the city?

Lou Zigui’s finger lightly tapped against the tea table by his side as he muttered, “It’ll be very difficult, no doubt, but that’s the path to survival If Xie Wenyuan insists on calling a stag a horse then, we’ll have no choice but to take His Majesty away”

“………” said everyone else in the rooer, but should you really coeous?

“What’s wrong?” Lou Zigui asked

Everyone shook their heads Noasn’t the tiue semantics with Supreme Commander Lou

“I’ll give you 500 i “Dress then troops he brought into the city If anything goes wrong in the palace, I’ll order sonal When that happens, you have to take possession of the north city gates”

Fang Tang cupped his fist to accept the order “Yes”

“I can only spare you 500 , can you handle it?”

Fang Tang’s youthful face took on a faint trace of arrogance “Supreme Commander, don’t worry This soldier understands what he has to do As long as we keep the city gates open, it’ll be fine”

Lou Zigui nodded, before re When the ti the capital first”

“Yes!” Fang Tang shouted

Lou Zigui next began handing out assignale’s crew On the day of the Grand Sacrificial Cere Xiaoyao and how to attack or retreat Unlike Ning Xiaoyao, who’d iainst the Grand Preceptor hi to commandeer a full retreat of all friendly troops fro Xiaoyao said she’d be able to restore the doppelganger’s face to its original looks, Lou Zigui didn’t have the resolution to bet all his chances on so an escape route fro that could soothe his nerves

All the while, an ignorant Ning Xiaoyao atching the sielding eunuch leave the ancestral hall Once he was gone, she waited a while longer before cli Boss Black and Grandpa Ash

“On the day of the cere some food with me–lots of it Otherwise, how am I supposed to spend my days down in that hole?”

Big Boss Black and Grandpa Ash both found this logical Big Boss Black said, “I’ll go outside the palace and catch a few fat mice for you”

Ning Xiaoyao unconsciously glanced at Grandpa Ash, who didn’t ht not eat hiht to bar him from all micekind

“Will ten be enough?” Big Boss Black asked

“Thanks, but I want to take alongXiaoyao said MiceBoss Black swished his tail in silence This ninny, she can’t tell good from bad

“If you can bring over souoba…”

“That’s i Boss Black coldly shattered Ning Xiaoyao’s wild fantasy One hu contest

Grandpa Ash sighed and said, “Xiaoyao, can you really fix that doppelganger’s face?”

“I can,” Ning Xiaoyao replied Grandpa Ash still looked worried
