“Exactly. With peach blossom petals stuck to his shoes, he must have lingered outside the main hall. That’s why I suspected he would go out to report tonight. I didn’t expect to be right,” Li San said, glaring fiercely at Kui Zi.
“Commander, you’re truly wise. It’s no wonder His Highness chose you from among all the servants. Unlike this guy, who can only do sneaky, underhanded things,” one of the men flattered.
Li San’s face showed a hint of pride, and he gave the man an appreciative look. “If we’re talking about wisdom and valor, that would be our His Highness. Now I finally understand. His Highness endured humiliation in Qingzhou all these years just so he could wipe out these powerful families in one fell swoop today.”
“Exactly. He endured for five years, only revealing his brilliance now. His Highness’s patience is truly remarkable,” another man said.
Then someone else added, “With a prince like this, who knows? Maybe His Highness has a chance in the struggle for the throne…”
The man didn’t finish his sentence, as everyone, including Li San, turned to look at him.
Li San said sternly, “Don’t speak carelessly. His Highness is currently biding his time and doesn’t want to get involved in such matters. You’re my men, so it’s fine to say such things in front of me. But if I hear you gossiping outside, don’t blame me for cutting out your tongues.”
The four men immediately fell silent and nodded.
After glancing around, Li San said, “You two, take him away first. The other two, follow me out of the city under cover of night. His Highness has his plans, and these powerful families must have their own schemes. Tonight, we’ll scout out their arrangements.”
“Yes,” the four men replied. Two of them took Kui Zi away, while the other two followed Li San out of the city.
At the city gate, they showed their tokens and exited, heading toward the lotus pond outside the city.
