Seeking the Bloodline of an Enemy?

Head of the Duan Family was dead.

He had been killed by the King's Imperial Guard.

King Shiyu looked at Head of the Duan Family's severed head and was rather satisfied.

He gave the head several hard slaps. "So you dared to laugh at me!"

"Even without the Princess Consort, I'm still bold."

"Chu Qing dares to slaughter the heads of great houses. So do I!"

A minute later, King Shiyu's anger had subsided.

He had someone throw the head back.

"Chu Qing must take the blame for this!"

"Head of the Duan Family was killed by him."

The subordinate fell silent for a moment, then said softly, "Your Highness, even if we hadn't acted, Head of the Duan Family would have died anyway!"

King Shiyu froze. "What happened?"

The subordinate quickly said, "At the time, Head of the Duan Family was returning together with another Head of the Jiang Family."

"Before we could act, Chu Qing made his move."

"He killed Head of the Jiang Family first."

"We were afraid he would kill Head of the Duan Family too, so we hurriedly acted and wiped out Head of the Duan Family."

"We completed your order!"

King Shiyu... fell silent.

The King's Imperial Guard was good in every way.

Except they were not very bright.

Whatever he said, the King's Imperial Guard obeyed.

They did not know how to adapt.

However—

That was not really a flaw. On the contrary, it was an advantage.

The only problem was—

Why was Chu Qing... killing the heads of great houses again?

Could it be that, in his eyes, the heads of great houses were like pigs and sheep, to be slaughtered whenever he pleased?

Did he not respect the heads of great houses even a little?

How could he be so arrogant?
