Chapter 388: The Price
The prince laughed, the little ones are just ordered to track down the fugitives, how can they find anything else. Since the people are not here, the little ones will not bother too much. Leave. β
The head catcher who took the lead snorted, with a little sneer on his face, but as everyone knows, there is already a lot of cold sweat on his back.
Xiao Chumo's words clearly carried an undisguised threat. Such a cold tone and momentum made his voice tremble.
The reason why he dared to speak to the dignified regent like that when he came in just now was only because he had already taken refuge in Situ Ye, and this trip was because he decided that Yu Panxi was hiding in the regent palace. He thought that as long as he could find out people and things, then Xiao Chumo would have absolutely no room to turn over.
That's a dignified regent, and being able to trample such an invincible person under his feet is definitely something that can make him show off for the rest of his life. Not to mention the benefits he can get after this is done!
Such a thought is really easy to confuse people's minds, so that this head catcher has completely forgotten to leave a way back for himself. However, it was only at this time that he finally remembered that this Xiao Chumo was not only the regent, but also a general who galloped across the battlefield, and the god of war of the people of the entire Ning Kingdom!
Even if he was already terminally ill at the moment, this terrifying momentum alone was enough to deter the enemy. He doesn't even have to do it himself, any soldier under him can easily take his life!
The thoughts in his heart became more and more terrifying, and the head catcher didn't even have time to wait for Xiao Chumo's reply, so he turned around directly and wanted to leave quickly.
His master has a special identity, and the regent does not dare to act rashly, but he is different! At the end of the day, he's just an inconsequential pawn! Only by getting out of here can he save his life!
The head catcher couldn't help but shout in his heart, but as soon as he took the steps under his feet, the cold voice came into his ears from behind him: "Does this king allow you to go?" β
Finished!
The head catcher couldn't help but tremble, but now that he was still in someone else's territory, even if he was reluctant, he could only turn around and ask, "What else does the king and the prince command?" β
When he said this, he couldn't help but curse secretly in his heart. Why is he so unbreathable, now it's okay, if the regent really blames him, I'm afraid that if I don't die, I will have to peel off my skin!
The thoughts in his heart were not spoken, but the expression on his face changed again and again, how could Xiao Chumo, who had always been cautious and careful, not notice it?
It's just that for such a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, I'm afraid that Situ Ye will not reuse it, and the things he tells will not be very careful. Even if he left people behind, he would probably not be able to ask for anything useful.
"This king has not been out of the palace for many days, but he doesn't know that the officials of the yamen in the capital have actually changed? You can't help but say that you brought people to break in and make a mess of the king's palace, and you want to leave without finding such a fluttering sentence? β
Xiao Chumo's cold snort made Yu Kuai feel like a cold sword across his neck, and the clothes behind him were completely wet with cold sweat.
The yamen at the feet of the Son of Heaven, even if the official in charge is not of high rank, it is definitely a very popular position, how can it be changed so easily? It's just that the official who was originally in charge of the yamen was unwilling to take refuge in Situ Ye, and refused to follow the latter's orders to send officers and soldiers out to search, and now Situ Ye has been placed under house arrest in his own home.
Because he looked at the direction of the wind and took refuge in his master early, the errand of the search would fall on him. Who would have thought that this errand would be so difficult to do, now I am afraid that both sides will no longer be able to accommodate him.
"This king knows that because of this king's serious illness, I am afraid that many people in the court have begun to move. Since you have the heart to repent, then I will give you a chance to atone for your sins! β
Xiao Chumo did not hide the change in the attitude of the ministers of the DPRK and China towards him in recent days, and there was no anger on his face when he said it.
The head catcher looked up at him carefully, and saw that he didn't seem to be angry, so he couldn't help but swallow his saliva in fear and asked, "What should the villain do?" Please also ask the prince to make it clear. β
Now that the regent has spoken, as long as he can do what he tells him, then today's matter should be written off. This was his only chance, and he naturally wouldn't give it up easily.
"It's very simple, this king is used to fighting and killing on weekdays, and he doesn't pay much attention to the big truths of civil officials. Since you know that you did something you shouldn't have done tonight and bumpered with this king, leave an arm behind! β
When he said this, the expression on Xiao Chumo's face did not fluctuate in the slightest, as if he was saying that it was as simple as letting him cut a piece of tofu. However, those outsiders who heard his last words could not help but break out in a cold sweat.
Especially the head catcher who was pointed, when he heard his words, his face had become extremely pale, and he only felt that his legs seemed to be a little weak, and he was almost about to kneel.
"Wang ...... Lord Wang, thisβthis kind of thing is not a joke...... Yes!! β
A heart-rending scream rang out in the hall, and as the sound came out, a bloody arm fell to the ground with a slightly dull sound.
The guards of the Regent's Mansion stood aside expressionlessly, if it weren't for the long sword in his hand that was still dripping blood, I was afraid that no one would be able to see it, and it was he who cut off the head-catcher arm with a sword.
Without an arm, this is no small skin injury. The blood that had flowed from the wound alone had already stained the spot where the headhunter was standing a dark red.
None of the people he brought with him dared to make a sound, not even the atmosphere, only the screams from the mouth of the head catcher still echoed throughout the hall.
Xiao Chumo's expression was indifferent, looking at the head catcher who was holding his wound and wailing, his eyes seemed to fall on an inconsequential ant: "This king never jokes. But since you admit your mistakes so sincerely, then hurry up and get out with your people! β
The people standing behind the head catcher were shocked. Is this called sincere confession? If it weren't for the guard's quick move, they wouldn't have been able to dodge with the kung fu of a three-legged cat like them, who would want to lose an arm for nothing!
However, no matter how much dissatisfaction they had in their hearts, this bloody scene was enough to give birth to fear in their hearts.
One of them finally came back to his senses, and carefully thanked Xiao Chumo for his words, and seeing that the latter had no intention of continuing to block, he hurriedly greeted a few people, and fled from the regent mansion with the missing arm catcher.
