Chapter 38 She Wouldn't Even Leave a Mouse for the Dog Emperor
As the secret guards on duty in Prince Xiao's mansion, hearing the word "bold" was a compliment to them. Xiao Wu was not afraid at all. The dagger in his hand flew and he easily fended off two guards who rushed forward with swords drawn. He also watched from the corner of his eye as his delicate princess walked along the palace wall and nimbly entered the palace gate.
Her little princess has short legs, but she can move things around quite quickly.
There were five guards guarding outside the palace gate. Three of them surrounded Xiaowu and the two sides started fighting. It was the first time that the guards had seen such a reckless assassin. He wanted to break into the palace, but instead of sneaking in through the corners, he came here openly and forced his way through the gate?
Is this person's brain damaged?
But his skills are pretty good, he can handle three people at once with ease. Maybe he is a young master from some underworld family? So stupid and foolish.
The attention of the other two guards was also drawn away, and they didn't even notice that someone had slipped in behind them.
Seeing that the little princess had successfully sneaked in, Xiao Wu was too lazy to play cat and mouse with these people anymore. He waved his hand and ran away without saying a word or leaving a piece of clothes behind.
Guards: “…”
The fight was in vain!
The captain of the guards looked in the direction the man in black had disappeared, his brow furrowed. He didn't know why, but he suddenly had a bad feeling. They returned to their posts and looked around. Seeing no one else suspicious, he lowered his voice and instructed the others, "No one is allowed to tell anyone about what happened just now. Understand?"
The subordinate didn't realize the seriousness of the situation and asked in confusion, "Why?"
The captain of the guard slapped him on the back of the head, "Are you stupid? Did you hear about the theft of the national treasury a few days ago?"
"I heard about it! Didn't they say that the emperor has arranged for secret guards to investigate?" News from the palace cannot be spread outside, but how could they, who have been working in the palace all year round, not know the inside information?
The national treasury was robbed a few days ago, and there is no clue at all. No one even discovered it, just like seeing a ghost... Although the emperor suppressed the news, they all knew the seriousness of the matter. The palace of the great Zhou Dynasty was robbed of the national treasury without a trace. If it were to be made public, it would not only damage the reputation of the royal family, but also might attract the covetousness of several border countries.
Prince Xiao is still unconscious. If a war breaks out, the consequences will be unimaginable.
But none of this matters, and has little to do with these small errand boys. They just want to do their job well and return home safely. If they report the news of encountering an assassin, they will inevitably be taken away for interrogation during this sensitive period.
It’s better to have less trouble than more!
After hearing the captain's analysis, the other four guards suddenly understood and nodded in agreement, "That's right, nothing happened during our shift tonight."
Xiao Wu, who ran away and then secretly flew back, hid in the shadows. When he heard what the guards said, he almost burst out laughing.
Ha ha--
The dog emperor, no one is on the same page with him!
I wonder what happened to the little princess after she went in? I wonder if she met any of their people?
After Su Wanyan entered the palace gate, she did not rush in immediately, but continued to move forward along the palace wall. Her first stop, of course, was to go straight to the dog emperor's treasury.
Tonight, she wouldn't leave even a mouse for the Dog Emperor.
