Chapter 255 (2/2)
”Supreenerals asked once he was gone
”Nothing,” Lou Zigui waved at the at the openby his side The scene beneath him was as clear as day Because he fell silent, Shadowbolt withdreell The two generals tried to ask ui only stared out theIn the end, they shut up and realized noasn't the time to talk
It could only have been Xie Wenyuan who sent the rescuers after Chen Lu Lou Zigui uess that I wanted Chen Lu dead, then he should already guess that I don't fear hi hiui's hand on the map shook This means that Xie Wenyuan already knows that the Black Frost Cavalry is co
But Chen Lu's rescuers hadn't seized the chance to kill the Lord Protector, which meant that Xie Wenyuan didn't want to cause a commotion with his plans What did that , but he's ainst his knowledge This way, he can upset ive Xie Wenyuan?
He sat down to think deeper on the subject Suppose it isn't Xie Wenyuan trying to blindside es with the Black Frost Cavalry's plans to infiltrate the capital and stop those 5,000 h for Xie Wenyuan to transfer his troops and kill everyone in the Lord Protector's estate Why should he be in a hurry to kill the Lord Protector now? So in that case, did he decided to prioritize Chen Lu's life first?
Lou Zigui's breathing hitched as he broke out into cold sweat beneath the suirl
By now, the entire capital knows that His Majesty's passed away after the empress shouted about the assassin Even if Xiaoyao re-appears unharender to the world What would be better than this to prove that Ning Yu was already 'dead,' and Xiaoyao was just a fake replaceer speaks up, she'll si to favor a fake emperor just to preserve her own life if her baby son takes the throne
And if people question why I, Lou Zigui, would be so idiotic to put a girl on the throne, Xie Wenyuan could simply point at Xiaoyao's face and said I used her looks to do sohest treason
In the end…
Lou Zigui slowly spread open his hand and pressed it against thethe throne and killing the original emperor?
The whole situation seeh He had forced himself and Xiaoyao onto a dead end When he realized this fact, his first thought was to get her out of the city as soon as possible

Meanwhile, the guard that had ridden off to search for Chen Lu had returned to kneel at Grand Preceptor Xie's feet
”Grand Preceptor, bad news! Great Genearl Chen was aoneThe military—the military barracks have fallen into the L-Lord Protector's hands”
Grand Preceptor Xie grew alarmed
Elder Li asked sternly, ”Is this true?”
”This one dare not speak nonsense,” the guard ui, how could the Lord Protector have possibly caught His Majesty's eye?” Grand Preceptor Xie told Elder Li, who gave a start
He countered, ”But there are many subordinates of Chen Lu within the barracks How could Pei Yi have taken over within such a short arave ”Did Elder forget? The Lord Protector's former subordinates were all summoned to the capital They aren't kindly types at all”
Elder Li felt absolutely helpless at those words
”This old man wants to transfer troops to the capital,” Grand Preceptor Xie said ”Otherwise, on't only lose the chance to see His Majesty, but probably see this entire capital be named after the Lou instead”
Elder Li's body swayed as he looked speechlessly at Grand Preceptor Xie
”Just waiting here won't yield us any results,” Grand Preceptor Xie said before he turned to get on his sedan chair His eight men picked it up and 20 or so attendants swarates
”Xie Wenyuan has left,” a general reported to Lou Zigui fro there un for half a day now His low hn could be counted as an answer before he finally said, ”Call over Fifth Song”
The general didn't dare ask questions and went to do as he was told He went downstairs and into Supre Xu Soon enough, the ui
”The rest of you withdraw,” Lou Zigui told his two generals, who quickly left the roo natural and at ease rather than conscience-stricken Lou Zigui gestured for hi Xu smiled ”Many thanks to Supreme Commander for your care I only obtained soht now”
Lou Zigui nodded Song Xu and Song Jin were both born from the saClan was too weakly to do anythe army, he went to beco Jin were brothers by blood, they got along very well Lou Zigui had finally figured out his own unfavorable plight, but still couldn't figure out what excuses Song Xu had to betray him
