Chapter 102: Searching (1)_1
On the third floor of the tea house, Yan Junyu watched the chaotic scene unfold, his brows furrowing as some extremely bad scenarios flashed through his mind. His previously languid expression turned severe.
Tucking away the Jade Bone Fan, Yan Junyu ordered the manservant with his head bowed, "Go to the WuChengBingMaSi and tell the one surnamed Xiao, just say that I was attacked. Have him order a check on every person leaving the city gates, and detain anyone suspicious."
Guan Yu blinked in confusion and was about to ask "Why?" when seeing his master’s stern expression, he quickly suppressed his questions, responded with an "Understood," and hurried out.
Glancing at the still chaotic street and having lost any desire to invite his hedonistic friends for a river excursion, Xiao Junyu left after laying down a silver ingot.
Assassination attempt?
In the WuChengBingMaSi, Xiao Ruiyuan’s eyelid twitched as he listened to his subordinate’s report. He hadn’t expected a playboy in common people’s eyes to be the target of an assassination, and wondered what tricks that person was up to now.
While thinking this, Xiao Ruiyuan was aware that the person in question would not use this to amuse him, so he quickly dispatched messengers to the four city gates to issue the order for a thorough search.
Afterward, he quickly gathered three hundred subordinates and personally led them towards Qu Shui.
Since the pacification of the troubles in the South, Xiao Ruiyuan, as the hero with the foremost contributions, naturally received the emperor’s generous commendation.
Not only was he promoted three levels to become a Third Rank General, but also, after a series of meticulous arrangements, he smoothly took over the Bureau of Military Office, becoming the commander in charge of three thousand government officers, managing the security of Jing City.
