Watching Zu'an taunt the numerous palace guards like they were his grandsons, Qiu Honglei, hiding in the shadows, smiled slightly. This guy's ability to infuriate people was truly first-rate.
She didn't waste the opportunity the other party had given her. Taking advantage of a gap in the guards' defenses, she quietly climbed over the wall and escaped.
Seeing her leave safely, Zu An secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As more and more soldiers surrounded him, each gripping their sword hilts with hostile expressions, he coughed lightly: "You all are indeed dutiful. I came here today to test your reactions, and your persistence has satisfied me. Remember, it must be like this: no matter who comes, unless they carry an imperial edict, no one is to be let go tonight! Do you understand?"
"I heard you!" He suddenly raised his voice at the end, startling the group of guards who instinctively answered.
"Thank you all for your hard work. I'll go to the other palace gates to inform them." Zu An said without batting an eye, quickly turning and leaving.
The numerous palace guards: "..."
You're insane!
What kind of time is this to be testing us like this?
Damn it, they even gave us a good scolding. Were they just making fun of us?
However, considering the other party's status as a top-ranking envoy, they could only dare to be angry but not speak out.
The palace guards' anger level increased by 666+666+666...
Looking at the tens of thousands of anger points that had been deposited into his account, Zuan felt refreshed. Sure enough, the more people who mocked him, the more anger points he would get. He thought he should try it out in the military camp on the outskirts of the city sometime; he figured he would get an explosion of anger points there.
However, he soon began to think about rescuing his master, Qiu Honglei. The palace was so big that finding her would be quite troublesome.
He came to the East Palace intending to ask about the specific details of the battle, but when he saw the East Palace razed to the ground, he was filled with confusion.
The power of a battle between an emperor and a grandmaster is terrifying.
Just as he was about to ask someone, a messenger in embroidered robes with a bronze badge rushed over: "Sir, I've been looking for you for a long time."
Zu An was taken aback: "What do you want with me?"
That's the downside of being an Embroidered-Robe Envoy; everyone wears masks and uniforms, making it impossible to tell who's who.
The man bowed and said, "The Emperor wants to see you, but we have been searching for you for a long time without success."
Zu An's heart skipped a beat: "I'll be right there."
He followed the emperor all the way to the imperial study. Before he even entered, he could hear the emperor's furious voice coming from inside: "Is my palace a marketplace? Those assassins come and go as they please? Do you even want your heads anymore?!"
