Chapter 567 - 177 Chen Jie: Nan Batian didn’t expect me to sneak attack, did he? (Please subscribe)_6
Crack!
Lord Yelu, upon hearing the words, grew so furious that he smashed the teacup in his hands onto the ground, exclaiming angrily, "Good, good, good!"
Lord Yelu repeated the word three times, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
After a long while, Lord Yelu said, "Well done, Sun Tiechui. I never truly knew you. To think that after all these years, I had never realized that you were a member of the Zoroastrian Sect, a demon person! I have let down the court!"
"At the outset, Chen Jiusi had said Sun Tiechui was from the Zoroastrian Sect, which I didn’t believe, and even thought he was one of us. Now that I think about it, I was really foolish!"
Seeing Lord Yelu like this, Qimu Ge said, "Master, you can’t blame yourself entirely; you manage innumerable matters daily. How could you oversee everything?"
"But, my Lord," resumed Qimu Ge, "Now that we’re talking about this, something comes to my mind. Remember the day we inspected Sun Tiechui’s blacksmith shop? One of Nan Batian’s men mysteriously ran away, do you remember? Later, when we searched his blacksmith shop, it turned out to be fruitless. Could it be that Nan Batian had tipped him off in advance?"
Qimu Ge raised this question while looking at Lord Yelu, who frowned and also recalled the incident. At the time, he hadn’t taken it seriously, but now looking back, it seemed suspicious.
"And another thing, Lord, the situation at the East City Gate today is also very peculiar. Do you really think Nan Batian withdrew all his men just to capture Chen Jiusi?"
"Does capturing Chen Jiusi necessitate that many men? He even left no Fishing Guild Disciples behind. Do you think he might have deliberately left a back door for the Zoroastrian Sect to escape from East City Gate, using the capture of Chen Jiusi as a pretext so that we won’t suspect him of intentionally letting the Zoroastrian people escape?"
