"yes……"
Xie Lingqin remained hidden in the shadows, listening to the orders being given among the Imperial Guards, her eyes cold and piercing.
It seems they became suspicious after examining the two charred corpses.
Therefore, if Bai Yu truly believes that tonight's swift victory is the best opportunity to send them out of the city, then he is sorely mistaken.
However, if we don't act tonight, the entire city will be in grave danger when they launch a massive search of shops later.
