Chapter 160
The two men left the Dali Temple.
"Anan, have you thought of a solution?"
"Your Majesty has granted me the right to act at my own discretion, so let's go to Prince Hao's mansion at night to look for evidence."
"Exploring Prince Hao's mansion at night? Are you crazy? If you are discovered, not to mention investigating the case, your life might be in danger."
"Are you afraid?"
"What am I afraid of? If you want to do it, I will sacrifice my life for you. I will always be on the same front with you."
"Okay, you have the guts. Let's get ready and start at midnight tonight."
"Then I need to prepare some more equipment in case of emergency."
In the dead of night, two figures appeared on the roof of Kanglefang. After a few leaps, they stopped outside a courtyard wall.
The two were dressed in black, wearing headscarves and masks. When they saw that there was no one around, they jumped over the courtyard wall. They acted so secretly that who would have thought that one of them was a female general of the first rank, the commander of the imperial guards, and the other was a military commander.
There were few lights on in the huge courtyard. It was pitch black and difficult to tell the direction, but it was convenient for Chu Shengnan and Bai Ruoshu to act.
The two of them determined the general direction with the help of the moonlight and moved forward quietly. When they met patrolling guards, they hid behind pillars or bushes.
The two men came to a lighted house and heard someone talking in the house, so they went close to the window and listened.
"Are we going to stay here like this? Isn't it embarrassing to be seen by others?" one of them said angrily.
"The search outside is so strict that if you go out you will be caught if you are not careful. Being caught is a small matter for us, but if you delay His Royal Highness King Hao's business, you will not be able to get enough heads even if you have ten." said another person.
"This is too depressing. I have to stay in this room all day, I can't go anywhere, I can't do anything. I'm going crazy."
"Just bear with it for a while. When this is done, you can do whatever you want."
"No, I have to go ask His Royal Highness King Hao when to start." He said and was about to open the door.
"Don't be impulsive." As he said this, he tried to stop him and grabbed the man's arm.
The man was angry, so he pushed him away, opened the door, and walked forward with big strides.
"Lao Liu, come back." Another person chased out.
Chu Shengnan and Bai Ruoshu had already hidden on the beams.
The man who chased out grabbed the man named Lao Liu again.
"Third brother, don't stop me."
The two started fighting as soon as they had a disagreement.
The noise of fighting attracted the patrolling guards, who drew their swords and surrounded the two men.
"My two lords, what's the matter? Let's talk it over nicely. Don't use violence." The leader of the guards advised.
"I thought I would be able to show my talents working for His Royal Highness King Hao, but I didn't expect it to be so frustrating." Lao Liu said as he tried to get rid of his companions.
"Just bear with it for a while. Once you've accomplished your mission, you can ask King Hao for credit. Then you can get whatever you want."
"I can't stand it, please get out of the way."
"Sixth Brother, don't be so impulsive."
"Go and report it." The leader of the guards whispered to a guard beside him.
"My two lords, please stop arguing and fighting. If you have anything to say, let's go to His Highness and talk it out."
"Okay, I'm just about to go find His Highness."
The two stopped fighting and followed the leader of the guards to the outside of King Hao's study.
"Your Highness, Master Miao San and Master Dong Liu are here."
"Invite them in."
"My Lords, please."
The man named Dong Liu pushed open the door and strode inside. Miao San could only shake his head helplessly as he watched him.
"What has happened to make Mr. Dong Liu so unhappy?" Prince Hao said with a smile while pouring tea.
"I would like to ask Your Highness, when will you send us out of the city?"
"You want to leave? Is it because I haven't treated you well enough? It must be because those servants didn't serve you wholeheartedly. I will definitely reprimand them later. It's late, you two should go back and rest."
"Your Highness, is this how you treat us?"
"Let me think about whether you are feeling a little lonely in the palace. It doesn't matter. I will send someone to find a few pretty girls tomorrow and I will make sure you two have a good time."
"Your Highness, I'm asking when we can be sent out of the city. Please don't be so evasive."
