Chapter 1036 - 1038: Amusement (3)
Saknu glanced coldly to the side, and a eunuch standing by immediately went over, took the small slip of paper, and presented it to the Great Khan with both hands.
Everyone knew that the Great Khan had a terrible temper. After handing over the paper slip, the guard bowed his head and quietly retreated to the side, trying his best to minimize his presence.
A moment later, a loud "snap" was heard as the purple sandalwood and gold table in front of the throne shattered, followed by a burst of wild laughter from the Great Khan.
"Hahaha, woman, I’ve finally caught you!"
A daring guard stealthily looked up and saw the Great Khan’s face, which was unpredictable as a storm cloud. He gritted his teeth and enunciated every word, "This time, let’s see where you can run to?"
However, the Great Khan did not know that at this moment in Xiaoyaoshan Manor, the housekeeper Daru was pacing back and forth in the manor, his face covered with mutton-chop whiskers full of irritation.
If he had known that those four men had not succeeded and had lost the woman, he wouldn’t have written to the Great Khan to claim credit. By now, that pigeon letter was probably already in the Great Khan’s hands, and he must be overjoyed. The Great Khan would surely order him to bring the woman to Shengjing, but now that the woman was lost, where could he find her? If he angered or disappointed the Great Khan, he wouldn’t be able to bear the consequences!
Shen Luming, the County Magistrate of Qing County, felt just as agitated.
As a minor seventh-rank official, he had always been trying to survive between the Jin Kingdom and Liaodan. He dared not offend the woman who was to be the mother of the future Emperor of the Great Jin Nation, nor did he dare offend the Liaodan people, who would kill without blinking.
The Liaodan people who had attempted to kidnap Mu Caiwei were still locked up in the dungeon, like a hot potato that he neither could accept nor discard.
