Dawn was barely breaking, and a fine rain fell without end.
A powerful, imposing general strode like a dragon and a tiger into the Nine Gates Commander's residence.
His face was dark, and his steps grew ever faster.
He had just received word that all eighteen warriors he had painstakingly cultivated were dead!
The little bastard had escaped with his life, and now it was his own eyebrows that were on fire!
"Commander."
"What is it?" After washing, Wang Ziteng entered the hall in a long robe.
Liu Guangda dared not conceal anything and told him the truth:
"I'm in trouble this time. That brat from the Jia Family has fabricated charges and cobbled together a pile of so-called 'irrefutable evidence.' He's determined to arrest a meritorious servant of the state!"
Wang Ziteng knitted his brows and demanded angrily:
"He isn't even qualified to set foot in the Capital's Three Great Camps. What leverage has he found against you?"
Liu Guangda fell silent.
He did not even know what evidence the little bastard possessed.
Xie Tong must have confessed, which meant the ambush against a Hundred-Household Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard had been exposed.
"I sent men to surround and kill him. He escaped," Liu Guangda said in a low voice.
Wang Ziteng stared coldly at him. "Either don't do it, or finish the job. You couldn't even clean up after yourself!"
After a brief pause, he said sternly:
"Does he think hacking and slashing with a saber makes him formidable? When you were fighting on the battlefield and risking your life for the country, he was still drinking milk in someone's arms! Still reciting the Three Character Classic in school! What have you to fear?"
"I don't care what crimes you've committed, nor do I want to know.
