C193 (1/2)
Everyone's gazes instantly gathered on Su Li.
Su Li rubbed his left shoulder and muttered, ”Strange, this is the season when male bears are in heat, so why is that male bear chasing after me? I'm not a female bear! ”
Some people in the crowd couldn't help but laugh when they heard this.
However, Luo Chushu frowned, ”When I met that bear, it was still chasing me. If it wasn't for the deafening drums outside the enclosure field, it would have probably chased me out too.”
Mo Lianjin's gaze darkened as she walked toward the stars. She took out a few arrows from the quiver and gave them a sniff.
”father, this arrow is stained with the female bear's filth.”
”What?” Emperor An slapped the armrest, ”Marquis Cheng'en, go take a look.”
”Yes.”
The Marquis Cheng'en also walked over. Not only did he look at Su Li's quiver, he also checked Luo Chushu's. In the end, he made a decision.
At that moment, everyone started to discuss with one another.
Those who knew better would explain the formidable relationship between them to those who didn't understand it. Those who didn't understand would say repeatedly, ”Who was the one who tampered with the arrow?”
”Investigate!” ”Investigate this matter thoroughly for This Emperor!” The Emperor An was furious. The people who were just discussing immediately went silent, afraid that they would be implicated by this matter.
Right now, Mo Lianjin and Luo Chuge were in charge of investigating this matter.
The faces of the people from the Prime Minister's Mansion changed drastically. Taking advantage that no one was paying attention to them, Zuo Shaochen quietly left …
The guard in charge of the arrow feathers did not know what had happened at all. He was currently taking inventory of all the various things that were being hunted at the Emperor An's siege, not daring to hesitate in the slightest.
Zuo Shaochen rushed into the warehouse, and when the guard looked up and saw him, he laughed, ”Left young master, did you succeed? ”Your subordinate...”
Before the guard could finish his words, Zuo Shaochen had already drawn his sword and thrusted forward.
Just as the tip of the sword was about to penetrate the guard's chest, a short blade flew out from the side, and the longsword was struck and sent flying. Immediately, Mo Lianjin and Luo Chuge appeared in the warehouse and coldly looked at the panicking Zuo Shaochen.
”Are you here to silence me?” Mo Lianjin squinted his eyes, with danger and killing intent spreading between his brows.
Zuo Shaochen did not say anything, took a step back and wanted to escape.
A few Imperial Guard cultivators rushed over and pointed their swords at him.
His escape route was blocked and the scene of him trying to kill someone had been broken.
He immediately fell to the ground in despair and looked at Mo Lianjin hatefully.
When Zuo Shaochen and the guard was brought to the Holiness, everyone was still a little confused.
”Fifth Brother, what do you mean? Shaochen is a servant of this palace, why are you capturing him?” Just as Mo Lianxuan started to turn, Su Qianyan tugged on his sleeve from the side. He could only hold his breath and stare at Mo Lianjin with extreme resentment.
Luo Chuge took a step ahead of him, and told him that Zuo Shaochen had tried to kill him to silence him.
The guard kneeled down with a thump, begging for mercy. ”Your Majesty, please spare us!” For your subordinate to change his arrows, it is all because of Sir Zuo instigating me. If your subordinate does not do as I say, he will kill your subordinate. Your subordinate was forced to do so. ”
When the people from the Prime Minister's Mansion heard these words, their hearts grew cold.
The matter of persecuting Su Li was something that they had discussed. Now that Su Li had rendered meritorious service, his own son had been pushed to the edge of the blade.
