Chapter 275 (1/2)
Chapter 275: Please don't leavetheir way Lou Zigui turned and glanced over He spoke in a low tone, ”The officials are co Xiaoyao and ran However, Ning Xiaoyao was confused ”It's Second Young Master Pei though! So why are we running?”
”If we let Pei Yan save Chen Lu, perhaps Chen Lu will think ere sent by Xie Wenyuan” Lou Zigui whispered
Ning Xiaoyao stretched her long 'ohhhhhh' This guy seriously has evil tricks up his sleeves all the time!
Pei Yan came over with his people and stood in front of Chen Lu and his guards At first glance, he didn't recognize Chen Lu Out of the five, Chen Lu was the only one still conscious So, he asked, ”Who are you guys?”
Chen Lu didn't say a word When he saw that it was Pei Yan, he had lost all hope Pei Yan would never save hi on a deeper level, puzzlement swept across his face
Pei Yan was clearly His Majesty's people If His Majesty had sent the assassins, ould they run after seeing Pei Yan? Were those two assassins sent by His Majesty or not? (Author: It's good you're thinking this way…)
The deputy general next to Pei Yan commented, ”This looks like Chen Lu's horse”
Pei Yan and Chen Lu had never really crossed path before Pei Yan stared at the horse with a greenish black fur that possessed a hint of purple ”Are you certain?”
The deputy general was firm ”His horse has a very unusual colour I'm sure it's Chen Lu's”
Pei Yan crouched down and found the general badge of the capital city barracks ”Who would've thought that the alhty Great General Chen would be beaten up like this?” Pei Yan kneaded the golden general badge in his hand and spoke in a condescending tone”Did your wife beat you up again?”
Chen Lu's eyes were swollen like a line As a result, his resentful glare was thoroughly hidden
”If you can't speak, then write it on the ground,” Pei Yan stated, ”Who did this to you?”
Chen Lu could ers and there was a thick layer of dust around hi a few characters was no problem, but he refused to communicate with Pei Yan
”Where's Grand Preceptor Xie now?” Pei Yan se ”Could it be that Xie Wenyuan finds you useless and wants to get rid of you?”
Pei Yan's words stabbed through Chen Lu's heart and increased his insecurities Previously, Grand Preceptor Xie had mentioned that His Majesty would probably attempt to kill hiuards to back hiuards now?
”At this ive you any proof,” Grand Preceptor Xie had told Chen Lu, ”So this old man will let you see for yourself His Majesty is the type that will crush those opposing him He will kill you Even if you live today, one day, he will slaughter you This old man will send people to protect you fro a move If His Majesty thinks you're well protected, he won't do anything Also, this will prevent you frohtening words”
Chen Lu reflected on Grand Preceptor Xie's speech while Pei Yan ordered his people to send hiht to himself What if His Majesty isn't the one ants hier useful to Grand Preceptor Xie?
At this moment, Xie Laibao, the head steward of Grand Preceptor Estate, had arrived with a bunch of their own guards They were at the very end of the street Frouards standing in the middle of the road Xie Laibao quickly lifted his hand from his sedan to halt his people
”It's Pei Yan,” A sharp-eyed guard recognized Pei Yan froht away
”There are people laying on the ground”
”There's blood”
”Great General Chen's horse is over there Is he one of the victiround?”
”We were too late!?”
…
The guards were all st thehed in relief He had slowed down their arrival on purpose
Looks like co to do As expected, His Majesty made a move on Chen Lu Since he didn't ruin His Majesty's plans, the de to make his life difficult
”Should we head over and save Great General Chen?” a guard asked Xie Laibao
”Can you guys guarantee you'll be able to defeat the Nine Gate Infantry troops?” Xie Laibao asked
Who would dare to give Xie Laibao a guarantee?
”So we're not going?” another guard asked
Xie Laibao acted like it was a painful decision to ht, but was helpless under the current circumstances
Meanwhile, their opposition also noticed the Master Pei ”Second Master, Xie Laibao has brought souards with him”
Pei Yan looked over, unconcerned ”If they don't come over, we'll pretend we didn't see them If they come over, we'll kill them”
The subordinate panicked ”Second Master, they are Grand Preceptor Xie's people though”
”I know So what?”” Pei Yan challenged
The subordinate didn't say anything else The Lord Protector's estate held a strong grudge against the Grand Preceptor'sMaster Pei exterot on his horse and commanded ”Head over to the Chen Estate”
A row of people lifted Chen Lu and his four soldiers and headed in the direction of the Chen Estate
When Pei Yan and the others had gone a far distance, Xie Laibao sighed ”Let's return and quickly tell Master about this”
