The figure continued to move his legs quickly until he stopped near a horse carriage. However, he first turned his head towards a man with a thin posture who was standing not far from his current position. “Is everything okay as long as I'm away all day? ” He asked with a serious look.
While the person being questioned immediately opened his mouth quickly. “Se... All is well, they are afraid of you and dare not do anything! ” He answered, with his face full of tension.
Satisfied with the answer he heard, he immediately entered the horse carriage and said to the man. “Then it departs so quickly, do not waste much time in this place!! ” His orders coldly.
“Good, sir! ”
...»»————>❀<————««...
Rui who was inside the horse carriage also closed his eyes for a moment, then he sighed heavily while saying. “If only the empress would allow me to kill him instantly, then this matter would end quickly!..” He leaned his body, looking for a comfortable position to calm down. “.... But this victory should look fair, the king should only die on the battlefield!” Mumbled again.
Arriving at the destination, the coachman immediately stopped the footsteps of the horse pushing the carriage. Rui who was in it immediately came down, and stepped into a residence that he now lived in.
But before that, both of his eyes glanced for a moment towards the two guards standing on the left and right side of the door. “I didn't think they were so obedient! ” He muttered as he saw the guards bowing respectfully to him with fear. “But that is not surprising, given the safety of their families that I threatened! ” Mumbles again with a cynical smile.
Rui continued to walk towards somewhere, a place that was located in a dark underground. In fact, the firelight from several burning torches was not enough to illuminate the entire room.
And when his footsteps stopped right in front of an iron bar whose entrance was firmly locked, he saw a seedy-looking man looking at a small candle with a blank stare.
“Why are you here?! ”
Suddenly the man opened his mouth and asked in such a cold tone. The look of his eyes that originally looked empty now began to sharpen when his gaze caught the figure he hated.
“Why? is after locking me up now you will kill me ha?!!! ” Ask again in a slightly raised voice.
Rui who heard the question from the man just smiled, and said. “Which way I might kill you! ” one of his hands touched the dirty iron bars, then he chuckled and said again. “You are still useful, if I kill you then I will have a little trouble finding someone else to use!” Say again.
The figure of the man snorted, and showed his cynical smile inside the darkness. “Do you think, with this cheap trick of yours you will be able to fool our king?!... ckckck, of course not!!.. sooner or later he will know, no, and at that time don't expect your head to escape from his sword!!! ” Threatens him, with emphasis on every word he puts out.
Does Rui feel afraid?.... cih! of course not!!. to him it was nothing more than empty talk in his ears.
He suddenly laughed to himself, and said. “Am I not very suitable to play the role of your only child?... although it was a little difficult at first, but it was not a big obstacle for me!” He moved his hand that touched the iron bars earlier, then patted it to remove the dust attached. “Your position as the right hand of the king has now turned to me, your destruction is only a matter of time... in a room that is ‘narrow’ and this ‘dark’!! ” He said again, then stepped away leaving the figure of the man who was now looking at him with an annoyed look.
The figure of the man who spoke to Rui earlier was none other than the right hand of King Bai Zhen himself. So what really happened?.... How did it end up in there?... And how could Rui take his place?
Was this all one of the plans that An xia made?

On the other hand, the Zhuang emperor who was inside the war tent was now focusing on paying attention to each and every location of the battle to strategize further.
Beside him stood a general, with armor enveloping his body as a defensive fortress. Even though it was so late, his two eyes did not show any drowsiness at all.
Instead, the glare of his sharp eyes was emitting a burning spirit flame. “Your highness, am I now allowed to order my soldiers to start moving?!” He asked, who had been patient to hear the decision.
Emperor Zhuang who heard the question immediately averted his eyes, he paused for a moment, then opened his mouth and said. “Alright, bring some troops to taste and run as planned! ” Saying.
Then the general asked a second time. “Then, do we have to come back again after finishing it?” He asked while frowning.
Emperor Zhuang slightly shook his head, one of his hands raised and waved as a gesture of ‘not’.
“After you finish it, then order your troops to stay in that place!” Answer again briefly and firmly.
The general who had heard the command and direction nodded his head, then immediately left the tent and rushed to carry out the mission as planned.
Now inside the tent only leaves Emperor Zhuang. One of the Emperor's hands was raised and rubbed his stiff neck, then he sat his body on a chair while muttering. “Just been apart for a while, but I miss him so much! ” He now touches his chest, feeling a strong heartbeat as his mind imagines a soft voice and the charming face of the wife.
After a long time he began to close his eyes, trying to live out every fantasy in his own mind.
But a moment later, he suddenly opened his eyes and shook his head quickly as he said. “This all has to be resolved quickly, it could be crazy if I continue like this!! ” Mumbled again, after realizing that his fantasy was getting out of control.
