Chapter 464 - 354. Imperial Music Bureau
The emblem on the chest of a Sixth-rank Military Officer.
Legend says that a tiger gives birth to three cubs, one of whom will be a bia, a tigercub without stripes, often abandoned by its mother, which mostly does not survive.
But those bia who do survive, living off bones and rough meals, grow ferociously vicious and battle fiercely; they have no intact skin while alive, and no unbroken bone after death.
Chen Ji did not pay attention to the carriage at first, but as he passed by, he heard a familiar voice say, "Young master, the old master heard you’re visiting the Imperial Music Bureau to watch an opera today and specially sent me to wait for you outside the Governor Mansion. He also instructed that from now on, your outings will be taken care of by me."
Chen Ji slowly turned his head, only to see someone with a bamboo hat, keeping their head low as they emerged from the side of the carriage.
Si Caogui.
A haunting presence.
Chen Ji furrowed his brow; had Si Caogui transformed himself into the Chen Mansion’s coachman? Or had he been hiding within the Chen Mansion’s coachmen’s quarters since coming to the Imperial Capital?
But the Chen Mansion is not a place one can just walk into; how could he infiltrate the Chen Mansion so easily after only being back in the Ning Dynasty for a month? Unless someone from the Military Intelligence Department within the Chen Mansion could make decisions.
Who could it be?
