"There won't be any large-scale attacks during the day!" Qin Zhixing announced. "The Dos have been choosing to launch night attacks these past few days, keeping us from getting any rest!"
"Then, my lord, why don't you go and get some more sleep?" Xu Chu said.
Lin Mo nodded, "You should get some sleep too!"
Seeing that Xu Chu was about to object, Lin Mo immediately interrupted him, saying, "This is an order!"
Xu Chu frowned. "Alright then!"
Lin Mo glanced at the mountaintop; perhaps Bai Qi was there again.
He realized how tired he was, and thought, "I need to get some sleep, even if it's just for a few hours."
Afterwards, Lin Mo went back to his room, lay down on his narrow bed, and immediately fell asleep.
Dreams are strange and formless, filled with bizarre voices, calls and shouts, and deep, resonant horns, their monotonous, deep bass notes lingering in the air.

Looking closely, it was already night, and the candles in the room were already lit.

The guard responsible for protecting him lay limply across the narrow passageway, head up, looking at him. Head up, looking at him! Lying face down. His head was twisted a full 180 degrees.
"Xu Chu!" Lin Mo shouted, "An assassin!"
However, no one responded.
"Stop shouting, Your Majesty the Great Xia Shu King, they can't hear you!" A man's voice entered Lin Mo's ears.
Lin Mo turned around abruptly and looked in the direction of the sound.
"Please allow me to introduce myself!" the voice said again. "I am He Xiao, the Venerable Master of Xuanhua Palace, paying my respects to Your Highness, the Prince of Shu!"
