Wei Sheng beckoned.
A black-feathered, gray-beaked messenger pigeon landed on his left arm.
A double-pupil emblem was faintly visible on the pigeon's lower belly.
This was a special messenger pigeon bred by the Double-Pupil Guards!
Wei Sheng removed the note tied to its leg and unfolded it. The writing leaped into view:
Reading this is as good as seeing me. Return at once!!
Wei Sheng released a pulse of Jin Force from his palm, shattering the note into powder. Startled, the pigeon flapped into the air and flew toward the distant Double-Pupil Guards Office.
The Gengjin True Art the Court Master promised hasn't arrived, yet an urgent recall from the office has come first. Looks like what the Court Master mentioned is about to happen.
As for what exactly that was.
Wei Sheng did not guess. He would know when he returned.
He retrieved the Refined Edge Saber from his room, then headed down the mountain, straight for the Double-Pupil Guards Office.
"Brother Wei!"
At the foot of the office's mountain, Yan Liang seemed to have been waiting for some time. Seeing Wei Sheng, he hurried over to meet him.
Several Black-Pupil Guards stood beside him, all seemingly waiting for someone.
"Brother Yan, what's going on?" Wei Sheng glanced at those Black-Pupil Guards.
"Brother Wei, the Giant Whale Gang has colluded with river bandits, slaughtered innocents, and defied the Imperial Court. Commander Wang has issued a mobilization order, summoning the office's experts to wipe out the Giant Whale Gang!"
As he spoke, Yan Liang pointed at a signboard standing nearby.
Posted on it was Wang Zhongyu's mobilization order.
After reading it, Wei Sheng frowned slightly.
Wipe out the Giant Whale Gang?!
That's one of the Prefectural City's five major powers, reportedly with very close ties to the prefectural administration...
