After leaving the Heavenly Prison, Liu Wei took only ten veterans from the battalion and hurried to an empty house beside the Embroidered Silk Courtyard. Meanwhile, Wang Anquan and the others headed to the site of the decisive battle ahead of time, accompanied by over a hundred men from the Mess Hall Army, and waited patiently.
The empty house beside the Embroidered Silk Courtyard had been bought cheaply years ago by one of Liu Wei's lovers. She had originally planned to earn enough money, marry an honest man, and settle down here. But later, the madam reminded her that the house was too close to her workplace. Stories about her were everywhere in the neighborhood, and no man could really stand that...
After thinking it over, his lover decided the madam was absolutely right. She then used a secret technique she never shared with outsiders to persuade Liu Wei, and sold the house to a military officer from the Mess Hall Army.
In short, outsiders rarely came to this house, and its location was secluded, making it ideal for shady, underhanded business.
Inside the dimly lit, empty house, Qu Acai, commander of the Brown Robe Battalion, slumped in the northwest corner. Six Binding Dragon Ropes bound his entire body, and twelve Source-Sealing Nails had been driven into him. He was in a truly pitiful state.
The second kidnapping of his life had happened shortly after three that afternoon. It had been a sunny afternoon with clear skies and a gentle breeze... Nearly six hours had passed since then.
He was filled with despair. He had sat here thinking all afternoon and still couldn't fucking understand why this sort of rotten thing kept happening to him.
Where exactly had things gone wrong?
Was it that there were too many bad people
