Chapter 70 - The so-called fate of husband and wife (2/2)
The stranger had said a lot of things to himself, but only these were the main contents. Shangguan Yong couldn't tell what he was thinking at the moment. If she got into the dragon bed, should he kill this woman, or should he be happy that she was still alive?
The waiter of the restaurant carefully walked to the table where Shangguan Yong was sitting and asked him: ”Dear guest, would you like more wine?”
”How much is it?” Shangguan Yong asked this shop ȧssistant?
The shop ȧssistant hurriedly said, ”Just now, that guest has already paid.”
After Shangguan Yong exited the restaurant, he walked towards the northern part of the capital city. If An Jin was there, then he would meet her. He did not believe others' words and only believed the words of An Jin. To the dragon bed? What a ridiculous joke. Shangguan Yong thought that he shouldn't have let that bastard leave just now. Someone who dared to ruin his wife's reputation, he shouldn't have let him leave alive!
The man who came out of the restaurant earlier was waiting outside. Seeing Shangguan Yong heading towards the north side of the city, he quickly turned around and walked towards the Fifth Prince's residence on the west side.
In the darkness of the night, the main hall was completely silent. The lights were all blocked by the tall walls of the courtyard, and only the two lanterns in front of the gate illuminated the space between the square inches of the gate.
Shangguan Yong didn't get close to the main hall, but he saw a guard with a sabre standing in front of the entrance. Even if Shangguan Yong didn't know what was good, he still could recognize the uniform worn by these guards. Why would An clan's nunnery guarded by imperial guards?
When Shangguan Yong had circled the hall in all directions, General Shangguan discovered that the hall looked like a peaceful and quiet buddhist land. In fact, there were already many sentries outside the walls of the hall, and the large hall was surrounded by the imperial guards like an iron bucket.
Shangguan Yong did not rashly try to climb over the wall, although he would easily be able to do so if he wanted to. Shangguan Yong also cared about his own life now. Before he avenged his great vengeance, he would live, and he would not easily send himself to his death. After spending an entire night, Shangguan Yong touched all the sentries outside the main hall. Before dawn, he had already figured out the time that the imperial guards spent patrolling.
After dawn, Shangguan Yong returned to the inn he was staying with Qing Nan and the others, but they were not there.
After randomly eating breakfast, Shangguan Yong sat alone in his room and looked at the register given to him by the messenger King.
At this point, Shangguan Yong felt that he could no longer keep the register with him, and was struggling to remember the names of the people on it. Shangguan Yong was just thinking, should he burn this register or hide it, if he were to hide it, then where could he hide it?
When they entered the house, they saw Shangguan Yong sitting there, Qing Nan asked snappily: ”Big brother, do you want to kill all your brothers in a hurry? Where did you go last night? ”
”I'm going to drink.” When Shangguan Yong heard footsteps in the courtyard, he put away the register.
”Then we can go together,” Qing Nan said. ”Right now in the capital, we can't tell who's human and who's ghost. It's too dangerous for you to be alone.”
Shangguan Yong told Qing Nan and the others to sit down and said: ”The people you met at my house that day, find out who they are?”
Qing Nan told one of her brothers to close the door, then said, ”Not a member of the Shangguan Family.”
Shangguan Yong said: ”People from the martial arts world?”
Qing Nan shook her head, ”That group of men suddenly ran off while following us the other day. We can't be sure if they are from the martial arts world or not.” Qing Nan scolded, ”People these days are all cowards. Hiring people to kill people, if you have the ability, then do it yourself!” Fight right in front of our faces! ”
”Prince Xin, the messenger king, is from the Imperial Family.” Shangguan Yong said, ”Could it be that those people are from the Imperial Palace?”
”The Emperor?” As soon as Shangguan Yong finished speaking, some of the brothers started shouting.
Everyone in the room was stunned. If Qing Nan hadn't mentioned this, they really wouldn't have thought of it.
”Let's go outside the Imperial Palace and wait outside,” Shangguan Yong said softly. ”Let's see if we can meet these people.”
Qing Nan said, ”Are we just going to wait?”
”If they knew that I, Shangguan Yong, was not dead, would these people appear again?” Shangguan Yong looked at his brothers and said.
Qing Nan frowned, ”These people won't even let sister go. Once they know that brother is still alive, they will definitely come again to kill him.”
”Then isn't big brother in danger?” One of the brothers said, ”It's too dangerous to lure a snake out of its hole with this move. Besides, the person behind these people might be the Empress?”
”I can't let these people live anymore.” Killing intent surged out from Shangguan Yong's body. The people who killed his family, none of them could live. He didn't care if these people have the Empress standing behind them.
