"This way, hero!"
The wind and rain were fierce.
The Imperial Palace.
A steel blade was pressed against Su Chen's neck as he led thirty Heavy Armor Guards toward the Crown Prince's Study.
The Imperial Study and the Crown Prince's Study were separated by only two palace pavilions.
"Kid."
"Don't try any tricks, or you'll lose your head."
The First-Grade Armored Soldier's temples throbbed as he looked at the unguarded Crown Prince's Study, and then at the heavily fortified Imperial Study in the distance.
He felt like he'd been tricked.
"I'll ask you one more time. Is the Crown Prince here?" he asked.
"He is."
"I, Sikong, swear on my life!"
Su Chen always located people by the direction of their Longevity Fire.
"Sikong, is it?"
"We'll trust you this once."
The First-Grade Armored Soldier left a single Heavy Armor Guard to watch Su Chen. The rest, steel blades in hand, snuck into the Crown Prince's Study.
The study.
