Chapter 23: Ruthless hands and tough enemies
March 10, 2017Ai Hrist
Speaking of tonightâs incident, the green man and the black manâs face look very embarra.s.sed⦠â¦
âTonightâs incident is all my fault. I didnât found out their plan sooner.âThe black man bows his head and his face flushed.
He is a proud and confident man, but he admits his mistakes. Heâs job is not really easy and tonightâs incident is a proof. But still, he canât tolerate denying his mistakes.
Xiao Tianyao looked at his eyes, but he didnât blame him. Instead, he changes the topic: âIs Divine Doctor Mo safe?â
âDivine Doctor Mo and his daughter are both safe. I brought them to the Xiao mansion near the Huan Mountain stream.â When the black manâs words finished, the green man frowned: âLiu Bai, do you know what you are doing? Xiao Mansion is Tianyaoâs private house. How can you bring Divine Doctor Mo and his daughter in⦠â¦â
âI certainly know what I am doing. Divine Doctor Mo and his daughter are special guests. So, bringing them to the Xiao mansion near the Huan Mountain stream will keep them safe.â The black man named Liu Bai doesnât think that his decision is wrong, but he secretly read Xiao Tianyaoâs facial expression.
Although Xiao Tianyao felt dissatisfied, he didnât show it. And just let Liu Bai a.s.sign some people to protect Divine Doctor Mo and his daughter.
âw.a.n.gye (Prince), rest a.s.sured. I already sent An Wei to secretly protect Divine Doctor Mo and his daughter,â Liu Baiâs tone is full of confidence.
An Weiâs actual role is to protect and monitor them. After all, Divine Doctor Mo and his daughter are still a stranger to them. So they still need to put a guard against them.
âMmm.â Xiao Tianyaoâs face shows satisfaction, then his eyes fell on the green robe man.
The green robe man took a breath and immediately came forward: âBoth the inside and outside of the mansion is now clean. There was a total of 102 a.s.sa.s.sins and 8 spies from the palace. Those people donât have a tattoo mark on their body, but their mouth is tightly sealed. So, we didnât get any answer to our inquiries. There was a total of 300 archers from the outside. Aside from those who were able to escape we all catches them. All the arrows, bows and crossbow they used looks the same with the military.â
âWhat a big help.â Xiao Tianyao lightly hums and unconsciously tap his finger in the handrail.
*tack*tack*tack*
Once he started tapping his finger, the atmosphere inside the study room turns dangerous. Liu Bai and the green robe man couldnât help but feel their breath turn heavy.
Ever since they met and worked with him, they learn how to read his actions. And although Xiao Tianyao treated them more like his friends, they still only bow their heads when he is thinking.
Xiao Tianyao continues tapping his finger to the handrail and his eyes slightly got narrowed. No one knows what exactly he is thinking. But, no one dared to disturbed him. After a while, he stopped and look at them. Then said: âLiu Bai, go and protect Divine Doctor Mo yourself. Then, give him whatever may satisfy him.â
âYes.â Liu Bai said in a soft tone. Then he steps out first when heâs sure that Xiao Tianyao doesnât have any more command.
Inside the study room, it was now only Xiao Tianyao and the green robe man. Xiao Tianyao stayed silent for a moment, then said: âSu Cha⦠â¦â He only mentions his name but didnât say anything.
âw.a.n.gye (Prince), whatâs wrong?â The green robe man named Su Cha took the initiative to asked.
âHmm.â Xiao Tianyao didnât try to hide his thoughts to Su Cha and said: âBenw.a.n.g (This Prince) met a strange person.â
âStrange person?â Su Cha got puzzled, he made sure that both inside and outside of Prince Xiaoâs Mansion is now safe and clean. So, it is very unlikely for a strange person to suddenly appear. Could it be⦠â¦
Su Chaâs eyes got wide open and look at Xiao Tianyao. However, Xiao Tianyao nodded his head and gave him a definite answer: âLin Chujiu, the person that the emperor bestowed to be Benw.a.n.gâs (This Prince) w.a.n.gfei (royal concubine).â
âLin Chujiu? Whatâs wrong with her?â Su Cha got even more puzzled with Xiao Tianyaoâs words.
Su Cha knows all the rumors about Lin Chujiu. And he had seen personally how arrogant the eldest miss of Lin Family is. So, Su Cha doesnât think that there is something special about her.
Xiao Tianyao is not a talkative person, but he said Lin Chujiu is strange. So, maybe the rumors and the news they have gather is not the same. So⦠â¦
This evening, Xiao Tianyao said to Su Cha every move Lin Chujiu has made. Of course, except the things about Lin Chujiu had pressed him under her body.
He will keep such disgrace to himself.
âIt seems Lin Chujiu is really strange. Does she think that the Lin Family is dangerous thatâs why she deliberately hide her true nature?â Su Cha doesnât know what to think aside from this reason.
âShe was poisoned.â Xiao Tianyaoâs wrinkled eyebrow made Su Cha look puzzled: âShe have medical skills, but she was poisoned?â
âThatâs why sheâs strange.â Xiao Tianyaoâs lips show a trace of a sneer. Su Cha knows that he was unhappy, so he quickly said: âDo you want me to keep an eye on her?â
âBenw.a.n.g (This Prince) himself will keep an eye on her.â He also wants to see, what else is she hiding.
âYou need to be careful. If she has ulterior motives, donât get too soft again.â Su Cha may look like a warm person, but in reality, he is a ruthless person. He believes that all dangerous person should be killed in the cradle.
âMmm.â Lin Chujiu doesnât exist in his eyes. If she became useless, he will push her aside just like a pet.
Su Cha nodded his head and no longer talk about her. Then, he asks about another business: âHow do you want me to deal with those people?â
âKill them all! Then sent those a.s.sa.s.sins corpse to Judicial Court. Those archers to the Privy Council. And those spies to Control Yuan tomorrow morning. Benw.a.n.g (This Prince) wants all the people in the city to learn what happened tonight in my mansion.â
Su Cha knew that Xiao Tianyao also thinks that they wonât get any useful information to those people. So, Xiao Tianyao decided to deal with them cleanly.
But⦠â¦
âThe emperor will get dissatisfied, right?â Su Chaâs face looks very concern. But, he knows how ruthless the emperor is and he knows that the emperor will only get happy when he sees Xiao Tianyao as a ghost.
âDissatisfied?â Xiao Tianyao sneer, âWhen did he ever get satisfied with Benw.a.n.g (This Prince)? As long as benw.a.n.g (This Prince) is not dead, benw.a.n.g (This Prince) will only do things that he wonât get satisfied.â
Back down?
If he didnât retire on his own, can the emperor easily get his military power?
If the emperor didnât use his disability as a reason. How will he take away his military power?
As long as Xiao Tianyao wonât completely let go, the emperor could only sigh in front of the reports.
For his brotherâs sake, he didnât dig out much about his plot and just let him took away his military power. But, what was the result?
His brother was still unsatisfied. He didnât only send out a discarded woman to humiliate him, but now he even used a.s.sa.s.sins⦠â¦
Actually, he did not only wanted to kill Xiao Tianyao, but also to see if he still crippled and paralyzed!
Xiao Tianyaoâs eyes flash a trace of killing intent. Even Su Cha had senses his cold eyes and could only quietly sigh inside his heart⦠â¦
The emperor is actually a very lucky person because Xiao Tianyao doesnât have the ambition to sit on the throne. But, why he still repeatedly go against him?
To prepare for something? But, which emperor wouldnât like his brother gaining power? As an emperor, he shouldnât be so ruthless and ruined the lives of others. And because of the emperorâs actions, if he didnât counterattack, then he is not Xiao Tianyao⦠â¦
