Chapter 49: How is it possible? Why havent you come back yet?
Suzakuin.
Master bedroom.
The window is open, and two pairs of eyes are looking out together.
Seeing that the danger was gone, He Shen touched his bald head and said, "Oh, it has to be Mr. Xin, otherwise my life, including yours, will be in danger."
Next to him was a man shrouded in black, who was the steward of Prince Chu's Mansion.
"Mr. He, don't these words seem a bit redundant!?"
"Except for the Fan Yang Lu family, the other six families don't know about the defense of the Vermillion Bird Courtyard, so it is expected that they will fall into disgrace."
"The most important person for us to guard against tonight is Fan Yanglu's strength left in Chang'an. Since they have not come, there will naturally be no danger tonight."
"Of course, the other six companies should not be underestimated."
"If they react and deal with the Suzaku Institute as if they are facing a formidable enemy, how can the Suzaku Institute... be left intact!?"
The old man spoke seriously and was not complacent about this slight victory.
actually.
At this time, you need to worry even more!
Because the King of Chu went north and took away many of the forces of the Chu Palace, the power of the Chu Palace in Chang'an City became weak, and this would require a high profile to make money, which would offend many aristocratic families, and the situation would be more dangerous than before.
There are not as many people as before, and they are more high-profile than before...
In the past, when the King of Chu was still alive, he was quite afraid of the Fan Yang Lu family.
Now that he is gone, the power of the Chu Palace has become weak again, and it is even more necessary to be cautious.
"Haha, what sir said is that He X has learned a lesson."
He Shen responded with a smile.
"It's not necessary, it's just a reminder."
"Well, this is no longer the best time for assassination. It's time for me to return to Prince Chu's Mansion. However, Mr. He... don't let down your guard. The Fan Yanglu family and their clan members never take the ordinary path."
The old man put up his hood again, turned around and left.
"Sir, please go slowly. I won't send you off."
He Shen greeted the old man away with a smile again.
After everything is done, go back and have a good sleep.
………………
Boling Cui.
Main Mansion.
The head of the Cui family in Boling and the head of the Li family in Longxi drank several cups of tea, but still no soldiers from the Xuanzi camp of the Broken Star Camp returned.
This made the head of the Bolingcui family feel embarrassed.
The clear wine glass filled with wine reflected the uneasy eyes of the head of the Bolingcui family.
unusual!
So abnormal!!
It’s been almost half an hour since we left, why hasn’t the news come back yet?!
This is not the style of the Broken Star Battalion. The Broken Star Battalion pays attention to being resolute and resolute. Most tasks are completed within half an hour and never keep him waiting for a long time.
Could it be...
All killed?
In an instant.
The head of the Bolingcui family thought of a possibility, but quickly shook his head, frightened by the thought in his heart.
No, it’s impossible, absolutely impossible!
"Master Cui, maybe... the guards from Broken Star Camp were delayed on the way. Let's have another drink and they will almost be back."
The head of the Li family in Longxi quickly stepped down.
"Yes, yes, yes! One more glass of wine!!"
"They are probably the guards of the Broken Star Camp. They haven't been on a mission for too long recently and their skills are a bit rusty. We can just wait and they will definitely return."
The head of the Boling Cui family was like a child grasping at a life-saving straw. He nodded quickly and filled a glass of wine for the head of the Li family in Longxi. After the two parties touched it, they began to taste it. This time, the two parties had a tacit understanding and the speed was extremely slow.
Take one bite at a time and sip it into your stomach.
Such a slow drinking speed is unheard of and unseen!!
But if you drink at a slow pace, you will always finish drinking.
A cup of it.
A quarter of an hour passed.
The surroundings are still calm, where are the guards from the Broken Star Camp returning?
"One more glass of wine?"
"Okay! Let's have another glass of wine, and I, the soldiers of Broken Star Camp, will definitely be able to return!!"
The two heads of the house filled their glasses again and clinked their glasses.
Another cup, two cups, three cups, four cups...
No matter how many drinks they had, the surroundings were always calm.
Eventually.
When the head of the Li family in Longxi was bleary-eyed and about to fall asleep on another invitation, the head of the Boling Cui family did not agree.
Just listen to a "bang" sound,
The head of the Bolingcui family broke the wine glass and said angrily: "Why! Why don't you come back?"
"Is it so difficult for you to deal with the Suzaku Institute?!"
He was roaring and venting his dissatisfaction.
Before.
He boasted about Haikou, and he boasted about Haikou in front of the head of the Li family in Longxi, saying that he would definitely return with more than a dozen cups of tea.
The result...the result?!
Not to mention a dozen cups of tea.
There were dozens or hundreds of cups of tea. Even the head of the Li family in Longxi almost fell asleep and no one came back!!
Shame!!
angry!!
anger!!
At this time, the head of the Bolingcui family felt a burning pain on his face.
"Ahem, Master Cui, don't worry too much. Maybe they were delayed on the way. Maybe..."
At the end of the story, the head of the Li family in Longxi didn’t even believe it himself.
The truth is that too much time has passed.
It's been nearly two hours.
With the speed of the Broken Star Camp, even if you go to kill people outside the city, you should still be back?!
Not to mention the Suzaku-in Temple, which is just around the corner.
"Master Li, I appreciate your good intentions. You and I should pay more attention to the facts."
"If they haven't returned yet, they are probably at the Suzaku Courtyard!!"
"Even if it's not, then they deserve to be damned if they make it easy for you and me to wait. It's better not to come back!!"
The head of the Bolingcui family's eyes were red and he had murderous intentions.
Even if the six Broken Star Camp guards returned at this time, he would find a reason to deal with them. The six of them had caused him too much face!!
"Where is Choi Ha!!"
The head of the Bolingcui family shouted.
Soon a member of the Cui family walked in, bent down and cupped his hands and said, "Master, I'm here."
The head of the Bolingcui family took a deep breath and tried to calm down: "What's going on over there in the Suzaku Courtyard? Please call us as soon as possible."
Cui He was very clear about this matter.
He is the main person in charge. He is responsible for annexing and contacting the Broken Star Camp, assigning tasks, mobilizing, and helping to match the logistics personnel, etc., all are completed by him.
"Go home, Lord, this mission will be set off by the Broken Star Battalion guards and Cui Yun in charge of logistics."
"And, an hour ago, I received a message from Cui Yun and the others, saying that they could not contact the guards of the Broken Star Camp. To be more specific...it was because the guards of the Broken Star Camp had crossed the wall of Suzaku Court, that is...
Unable to contact."
Cui He did not dare to raise his head and reported cautiously.
"Can't be contacted? Are they dead? They died in Suzaku Academy!?"
The head of the Bolingcui family had sharp eyes.
Cui He was so frightened that he sweated profusely. He wiped his forehead and said, "According to speculation, there is a high probability... that he is dead."
