Chapter 263: Mr. Chen (III)

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

There was something more.

The two men said that many servants wanted to leave Mr. Chen because he was too brutal.

They wanted to intercede for those people. If the imperial court could be lenient, they would persuade those people to surrender.

Apart from those who served Mr. Chen every day, there were still many people hidden in the dark.

Moreover, almost all the traitors in the nation were all under the command of Mr. Chen!

Mr. Chen knew almost all the people who were working for Eastern Darkness, but a large number of them didn’t know his existence…

Liu and Ouyang said for a long time, while Long and s.h.i.+ had been listening quietly.

After Liu finished speaking, Long said slowly, “I didn’t expect that we’d get some information about such a big shot this time. Mr. Chen knows everyone who is working for Eastern Darkness?”

“Those two men said so.”

After thinking for a moment, Long looked at s.h.i.+. “Qingzhou, what do you think?”

s.h.i.+ said indifferently, “Whether it is true or not, we should arrest him first.”

Long nodded. “That’s right. This matter shouldn’t be delayed. We have to act as soon as possible. If these two people don’t go back soon, Mr. Chen will definitely be alert.”

“After we came back yesterday, I sent some Shadow Guardians to watch there,” Liu said.

“If we go to arrest him now, Mr. Chen’s plan…” Ouyang said slowly.

Long said calmly, “Just do it.”

After making the decision, Long and the others acted immediately.

Long wouldn’t fight in person. s.h.i.+ led the Shadow Guardians and began to make preparations.

Qiu Ming’s army had to take part.

If a place needed to be besieged, Qiu’s soldiers would work better than Song Qingtian’s.

Qiu’s army had performed a lot of tasks and had never made any mistakes. Therefore, those people were needed to besiege Mr. Chen’s place.

Fortunately, the army was just outside the city and it wouldn’t take much time to go there.

When s.h.i.+ and his men were about to leave, Long walked towards him. “I’ll go with you.”

Surprise showed in s.h.i.+’s eyes, but he didn’t speak.

Before s.h.i.+ said yes or no, Long directly took his hand.

In the end, s.h.i.+ said nothing.

Liu and Ouyang would naturally partic.i.p.ate in the action.

Not long after s.h.i.+ and the Shadow Guardians surrounded Mr. Chen’s house, Qiu’s army arrived through a small path in the city.

Long said, “w.a.n.g Tian said that many people in there have become rebellious. Let’s give it a try.”

s.h.i.+ looked at him. “In what way?”

Long smiled. “Just shout at them.”

Soon, Ying Feng jumped onto the wall and shouted loudly, “Traitors inside, listen carefully. You have been exposed! Surrender now, and the imperial court will not kill you! Otherwise, you’ll be killed immediately. Traitors inside, listen carefully…”

After Ying Feng repeated his words, all the people in the house became really panicky.

“Find Mr. Chen! Mr. Chen!”

Long and s.h.i.+ were listening outside.

Qiu and his troops had surrounded the place.

“If there is a bas.e.m.e.nt or underground pa.s.sage, it’ll be too bad,” Long said slowly.

“Bring w.a.n.g Tian and Li Yongxin here.” The two of them naturally followed the army.

They were brought to Long soon. There was some poison in their bodies, but Liu had temporarily sealed the toxin for them the previous night.

“Is there an underground pa.s.sage?” Long asked directly.

“I’ve never seen that,” w.a.n.g said.

Li also said, “I’ve never seen that, either.”

“According to what you said, Mr. Chen found this place after he arrived in Songye city, right?”

“Yes, I saw the butler rent this house with my own eyes,” w.a.n.g said.

So there should be no underground pa.s.sage, but… somehow, Long thought things might not be that simple.

After waving the two men back, Long said, “Even if there is an underground pa.s.sage here, it shouldn’t be too long. The encirclement should be enlarged.”

s.h.i.+ nodded and immediately went to arrange it.

Later, the battle started.

Naturally, Long and the others wouldn’t wait outside all the time. They entered the house three minutes after Ying Feng shouted at those men.

In order to reduce the casualties of the Shadow Guardians, they attacked with fire first.

They didn’t only rely on fire to attack. Therefore, the house didn’t become a sea of ​​fire, but many places were burned.

Fighting was just like this, which meant a terrible loss of human life and was extremely cruel.

Long, Liu, and Ouyang stood outside. Liu found a tall tree and brought Long up there.

Standing on a high place, Long could clearly see the situation inside. The house had been in chaos.

At this time, s.h.i.+ appeared.

Long once again saw s.h.i.+ killing people ruthlessly. s.h.i.+ chose to… kill anyone who rushed towards him!

Standing in the tree, Long took a deep breath.

Liu said softly, “He… is controlled by the demon in his heart.”

Long shook his head slowly. “No… he is sober.”

Liu was stunned. “He is sober?”

Long nodded and smiled bitterly. “Well, that’s what he said.”

Liu pursed his lips. “I didn’t expect that the thing that worried me the most really happened…”

Long looked at him. “No, I believe him. He only kills those… who deserve to be killed.”

Liu wasn’t so confident as Long, so he didn’t speak.

Long said slowly, “Let’s just watch…”

Liu and Ouyang looked at each other.

Ouyang slowly shook his head.

Liu smiled bitterly and wouldn’t say more because he didn’t intend to do so. He also hoped that what Long said was true.

With both hands behind his back, Long looked down at the courtyard.

Over there, s.h.i.+ was killing his enemies ruthlessly.

Long watched him and let a long breath out.

Long found that even if his empress was killing, he was still extremely beautiful.

Long couldn’t help thinking that maybe he had been infatuated with this man…
