Who wouldn't be angry after reading this letter?
Qin Jian gritted his teeth and paced back and forth in the courtyard, asking, "How long has he been gone?"
"It's been two hours."
Lou Chong closed his eyes. After such a long time, everything that needed to end had ended.
The Liang Prince's mansion caught fire tonight, and everyone in the city knows it. It's said that assassins went in waves, but none of them came out alive.
When they heard this news, they didn't know how they felt.
"What are you waiting for? Gather your men and come with me to the Liang Prince's mansion to rescue them!"
"yes!"
Everyone immediately became excited. This was exactly what they had been waiting for. With Qin Jian leading the way, they could openly and legitimately rescue Third Master.
Although doing so could easily expose their identities, they couldn't care less about that now; all they wanted to do was save lives.
We demand to see him alive or dead!
Shunyu Gambling House can currently muster three hundred men. Some will remain at their post, while the rest will go out to gather information and prepare to infiltrate the Liang Prince's Mansion to rescue people.
As dawn broke, the people gradually rose to work. They couldn't make too much of a fuss, so they all went out in plain clothes and mingled in the crowd.
The Liang Prince's Mansion was heavily guarded, and getting in was not easy.
Qin Jian suddenly remembered that Lu Baichuan had told him about the mischievous youngest son of the Prince of Liang, who apparently dug a tunnel to go out and play.
As for how they knew, that was thanks to the gambling den.
The servant of the youngest son of the Liang King went to the gambling den and lost money. Unable to leave immediately, he had to leave a secret to offset the loss, according to the rules of Shunyu Gambling Den. So the servant told them about this secret passage.
Originally, they thought it was just a tunnel dug by the young master out of playfulness, and it shouldn't have much of an impact. Who would have thought that this secret would cost his master his life?
Qin Jian immediately sent someone to find the tunnel. He thought that Sun Qi was so smart that he would not go in directly to his death. Going through the tunnel was the safest option.
However, he hadn't listened very carefully at the time and didn't remember where the tunnel was. There wasn't enough time to go through the files now, so he could only send people to search for it in person.
"Second Master, news has just come from the Liang Prince's residence that the Liang Prince has been assassinated!"
When a scout came to report, Qin Jian was frantically searching for the entrance to the tunnel. Where exactly did that brat dig the tunnel? Why is it so hard to find?
Upon hearing the news brought by the scout, he subconsciously waved his hand: "Who cares if he's dead or alive? Finding Sun Qi is the most important thing! What? The Prince of Liang is dead?"
He belatedly came to his senses and stared blankly at the scout: "When did this happen?"
"Half an hour ago, I heard that the assassin was not caught and it seems that he escaped. Now the Liang Prince's mansion is in complete chaos."
"He ran away? Hahahaha, that kid Sun Qi is really something!"
Qin Jian immediately burst out laughing. He was convinced that the person who killed the King of Liang was Sun Qi, and that Sun Qi had successfully escaped. So, Sun Qi must be alright.
But if it happened half an hour ago, why hasn't Sun Qi come out yet?
Were you injured or was something else holding you back?
"Hurry up and find the tunnel entrance. Let's find the person first!"
Qin Jian is now increasingly convinced that Sun Qi is alright. How could someone who could directly take the head of the Crown Prince of Nantai be so easily killed in the Liang Prince's mansion?
He will definitely come back alive!
"Second Master, someone's here!"
A sudden exclamation came from not far away. Before Qin Jian could even get close, he heard Lou Chong's voice again: "It's Third Master!"
They were still searching for the entrance to the tunnel, and were worried about not knowing where to start, when they saw a hand with prominent veins sticking out of the bushes, which startled them.
Lu Baichuan was exhausted and even if he came out, he couldn't escape danger quickly. He could only hide in the grass to rest for a while. He vaguely heard a familiar voice and then he took the initiative to reveal his identity.
It was Lou Chong and his group.
After confirming it, he could no longer hold on and fainted.
Qin Jian rushed over in three strides and, upon seeing the unremarkable face, immediately recognized it as his brother. He quickly ordered his men to lift the man up and head towards the gambling den.
The people who carried him noticed that his muscles and skin seemed to have atrophied, and he looked extremely haggard.
The gambling den had its own doctor, who treated the person as soon as they got back. The external injuries weren't very serious, just some small cuts. The most serious injury was on the arm, which was a bit deep, but not fatal.
But the person remained in a coma and could not wake up no matter what they did; their atrophied muscles and skin were also difficult to stretch out in the short term.
"Third Master used forbidden techniques, which caused great damage to his body, which is why he is unconscious."
The doctor sighed, thinking he was pushing himself too hard; he clearly didn't need to do that.
Qin Jian watched from the bedside, muttering, "Could it be that he learned the art of bone shrinking?"
After saying that, he looked at Lu Baichuan in disbelief, touched his arm, and found that the flesh on his body was shrunken and hard, indicating poor blood circulation.
He couldn't help but grit his teeth, really wanting to beat this man up to vent his anger.
He knew about obtaining the manual for the Bone Shrinking Technique, and at the time he felt it was strange and unreliable, maybe just something those gamblers had casually obtained to deceive people. He never expected that Sun Qi, that fool, would take it seriously and even start practicing it.
Are people this cunning even when they're being a spy these days?
Originally, all I had to do as a spy was send the intelligence back. But this guy is something else. He killed the Crown Prince a while ago, and now he's killed the Prince of Liang. I wonder how much merit he'll gain when he gets back!
Oh no, he's been dragged into this mess without even realizing it. They're currently at the same level, but when they get back and rewards are distributed, they might become superior and subordinate... Waaaaah...
He was so sad and angry!
But looking at the person lying unconscious in bed, whose body had been ruined like this, how could he not be angry?
What was on his mind that made him so eager to go back?
Actually, wanting to go back doesn't necessarily have to be like this. At worst, they could just tell Prince Chen and find someone to replace them. Why do they have to be so extreme?
He was internally cursing and complaining, but when he heard the doctor say there was still a possibility of a cure, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
After realizing what had happened, he slapped himself in the face and cursed, "He's already getting a promotion behind your back, why are you still worried about whether he lives or dies? What bad luck!"
After saying that, he stormed off in a huff.
Lou Chong and the doctor exchanged a glance and smiled somewhat helplessly.
Lou Chong asked, "How long will it take for Third Master to recover?"
"It's hard to say. The duration of this abstinence is too long, far exceeding what a normal person can accept. Some of the meridians in the body have atrophied, and we need to observe it further."
As he spoke, the old doctor sighed. This Third Master was truly terrifying when he was reckless.
