At this moment, the place has already become quiet, and the young men who came here to spend money have already gone about their business.
In a quaint attic in the backyard, looking out the window, a man in a white robe and a man in a red robe were playing chess all night long, and from time to time one could hear a few curses from the man in the red robe.
"Why are all the men in your Baili family so sinister? Are you really that dark inside?" Looking at the chessboard in front of him where he was about to lose everything with just one move, Xuanyuan Yexiao spoke harshly with disgust.
Baili Feng smiled slightly, feeling quite good: "How dare you complain when your skills are not as good as others."
"No, no, another one."
Baili Feng frowned: "One more plate and it will be dawn."
"The person hasn't come back yet anyway?" Xuanyuan Yexiao was not happy.
They had only played one game of chess since dinner, and he was frustrated that he and Baili Feng were completely evenly matched. But for some reason, every time the game seemed to be on the verge of a draw, Baili Feng would always win by a piece or two. This had greatly undermined his pride and confidence.
"The sky over there has turned red, so I'm sure there will be a result soon. Even if you don't want to sleep, I do too!" Baili Feng said lightly.
"Baili Feng, how can you be so selfish? I've been with you until this late at night, and now you're waiting for news and you're not letting me sleep. You abandon me right away. You'll be struck by lightning for abandoning me like this!"
Baili Feng was speechless: "Xuanyuan, it would be a shame if you didn't become a woman in this life!"
"It's a pity, but you're not my mother, so you shouldn't be so nosy. I don't care, let's play another game!" After saying that, Xuanyuan Yexiao set up a new game despite Baili Feng's objection.
Baili Feng shook his head, and under the coercion of the other party, he started a new round of game.
"Your Highness, A-Gu is back." The old madam stood respectfully outside the door, waiting for her master's instructions.
"Let him in." Baili Feng responded as he placed his chess piece.
As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened and the man in black who came in was the one Xuanyuan Yexiao had ordered during the day to follow Qian Yeming and Murong Xiao to protect their safety while not alerting the enemy.
The man clasped his fists and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, all the assassins have been beheaded."
"All dead?" Xuanyuan Yexiao, who was about to make his move, raised an eyebrow and said, "Qian Yeming can't be so unreliable, right? He killed them all. Doesn't he need to leave one alive to interrogate or bring back to the capital?"
"What does beheading mean?" Baili Feng grasped the word. Ah Gu would not use words carelessly. Killing them all meant killing them all, but beheading them all was another matter entirely.
Just as he was about to answer Xuanyuan Yexiao, he didn't know why all those killers had to be killed, but the master also asked a question, so A Gu decided to answer the easy one first.
"My Lord, it was indeed a beheading. None of the 50 assassins survived. In the end, Qian Yeming even ordered his men to pack up all 50 heads and return them to their master."
Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Yexiao whistled with emotion.
"It seems this Nanyue Crown Prince isn't as kind as he appears!" After saying this, he glanced at Baili Feng with a hidden meaning. Thinking of someone's "bad taste" that was being ridiculed today, he couldn't help but laugh.
Baili Feng rolled his eyes at Xuanyuan Yexiao and said thoughtfully, "It seems that he knows very well who sent these assassins in black.
