Free Web NovelChapter 1743: Chapter 1353: This Evildoer Is Too Much of an Evildoer!
With the chanting sound, Shi Wujue, who stood on the steps, grew colder in expression, while those kneeling throughout the courtyard performed grand ceremonies with utmost reverence on their faces!
Quickly, a ray of moon glow sprinkled down, faintly landing upon the long table...
Upon the long table, within the basin, filled with blood water, amidst the hazy red light, a full moon slowly mirrored into form...
Mirror flowers, moon in water, Mirage...
Having instructed his subordinates to stay away from Shi Wujue’s courtyard, Diao Chan felt a little uneasy, so when patrolling, she still discreetly passed by outside that courtyard, maintaining a perfect distance that neither seemed indifferent to the safety of Shi Wujue’s courtyard nor showed an intent to pry into others’ privacy!
"Ah!"
"Why!"
"Ah!"
"..."
Suddenly, a series of startled cries emanated from the heavily guarded courtyard. Hearing the commotion, Diao Chan couldn’t help but glance towards the courtyard. It was unknown when the guards surrounding the courtyard had retreated and vanished, and now the courtyard gates were tightly shut, as if isolated from the outside...
"Commander, could there be trouble?" One of the patrol guards who heard the cries from the courtyard couldn’t help but look at Diao Chan and asked.
"How would I know?" Diao Chan heard this, frowned slightly, contemplated for a moment, but still spoke, "Could it be a murder?"
"Murder? Murder who?"
"Of course, someone who has angered our lord! That trusted aide of Shi Wujue!"
"Then let it be so, he got what he deserved!"
Upon hearing this from her subordinate, Diao Chan thought for a moment, shaking her head, "Even if he deserved to die, because our master is the killer, inevitably, our master and Shi Wujue will grow distant! Besides, look around, all of Shi Wujue’s people have disappeared, likely summoned to witness the ceremony!"
"What of it?" The subordinate asked, puzzled.
"What of it... well, not much either, just that those who dislike our Family Head and Son-in-law might increase a bit..." Shaking her head, Diao Chan uncharacteristically showed a spark of intelligence.
Then, she stopped looking towards the courtyard and resumed patrolling.
Let it be so, after all, it’s their family affair, outsiders like them ought not to interfere!
Moreover, even if Shi Wujue’s subordinates dislike their Family Head and Son-in-law, what can they do? Overturn the heavens?
Do they really think the Dark Night Army is dead?
Thinking this way, Diao Chan felt at ease!
Yet she couldn’t help but mutter, "Woe to beauty, oh woe to beauty, the whole world is filled with fools who don’t appreciate blessings! Take a look, a General like ours, surely won’t court trouble!"
The patrol guards behind Diao Chan, upon hearing her words, couldn’t help but shudder, and their gaze towards Diao Chan turned extraordinarily odd!
Be like Diao Chan?
More manly than men?
Well, truly won’t court trouble!
Even Prince Ma would yield, and ordinarily, would not dare provoke...
The only worry was whether their sole female commander in the Dark Night Army could marry off in this lifetime? Would they ever have the fortune to drink at her wedding banquet?
If she truly can’t marry off, there’s little they can do, given this is how their Commander Diao Chan looks?
If she can’t marry off, she might as well bring someone back?
If truly not, then go snatch someone?
Ah!
Worrisome!
Really don’t know where their Commander Diao Chan’s confidence comes from!
As for what happened in the courtyard where Shi Wujue was, outsiders remained ignorant. After that bout of cries, it quickly returned to peace!
Though that night was somewhat nerve-wracking, fortunately, it passed without danger, counted as peaceful!
Early the next morning, when Diao Chan went to serve Gu Changsheng as she awoke, she excitedly informed Gu Changsheng that she needn’t worry anymore, because that aide of Shi Wujue who offended her was likely dealt with secretly!
At that moment, Gu Changsheng, who was dressing, was momentarily stunned upon hearing the news, then sighed and remained silent!
After Gu Changsheng finished getting ready, Diao Chan brought the news that breakfast was ready, and they could start the meal!
Gu Changsheng thought of going to the Dining Hall to eat, inevitably facing Shi Wujue and Zhou Mu. Although she didn’t want to anguish over the matters between the three of them anymore, at this time, it was still best not to meet, else how awkward would that be? Inevitably leading to loss of appetite!
