Chapter 303 (2/2)
”Most likely not” Lou Zigui turned to look at the doppelganger on the ground
The body double had been lying there unaze at the sky He was pretending as if he was already dead
Shen Mu glanced behind Lou Zigui when he heard the sounds of horse hoovesHe whispered, ”General Xu has arrived”
Xu Jing got off his horse when he arrived at the vicinity He strode toward Lou Zigui and asked about the situation while he exaui spoke in a low voice
Xu Jing's face becaround His original plan was to stay by Grand Preceptor Xie's side and act as a mole After an abrupt turn of circumstances, however, Grand Preceptor Xie had failed to confirm the emperor's death and fled the capital Warfare instantly followed, so they had to give up on the spy plan Since Xie Wenyuan failed to find a reason for his revolt and the rebel troops grew irresolute, they could take advantage of this beneficial situation to ainst Grand Preceptor's forces But now that Xie Wenyuan had escaped, General Xu was trepidatious
”There are currently tens of thousands of troops fighting each other to their death,” Lou Zigui analyzed, ”Furthere outside the capital If Xie Wenyuan disguises hi those people, it'd be an arduous task to find hilared at Lou Zigui ”You know the consequences if we let Xie Wenyuan off”
”I know,” Lou Zigui said in a low voice, ”It's useless to get angry now Uncle, you should calm down”
General Xu stood and let the rain shower hier, ”Who is this person?”
”We have troops stationed at the south, north and east roads of the city” Lou Zigui didn't care the least bit about the doppelganger's identity He , ”Even if we can't find Xie Wenyuan, it doesn't ui The latter was looking like his usual self, there wasn't a trace of worry on his expression
”Kill hiui ordered Shen Mu
Shen Mu was briefly stunned When he regained his wits, his sword slashed down and chopped off the doppelganger's head
Blood gushed out fro a fountain of blood
”Take the head of this ates in turns” Lou Zigui gave out an order, ”Xie Wenyuan is dead”
Shen Mu cast a glance at the head he was holding
Xu Jing gave a start before he finally followed up, ”That's right This is Xie Wenyuan's head!”
Once the rebel troops hears that Xie Wenyuan is dead, how many of them would still have the heart to risk their lives in the capital? If Xie Wenyuan doesn't want to lose, he would have to personally reveal himself prove that he wasn't dead Then, they will be able to locate that old thing right away
”Two birds one stone” General Xu gave a pat on Lou Zigui's shoulder
”Blockhead” Lou Zigui called out Shen Mu's nickname
Shen Mu hastened to instruct the soldiers to work and cut off every single head frouards' corpses
An hour later, news of Grand Preceptor Xie's death on the west road had spread all over the capital city and its suburbs

Grand Preceptor Xie waved his sleeve to disuard withdrew fro anxiously exclaimed, ”Grand Preceptor, it's either we stay or leave You must make a decision!”
”If we leave, then the tens of thousands of troops will be massacred” Grand Preceptor Xie said ”If we stay, this old ht still be able to have a battle”
”Then your decision is?” Xu Yihtly on the birdcage hanging over the corridor Inside the cage, the yellow canary flapped its wings and chirped loudly
