Chapter 73 — Assassination in Flower Lane
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 4
"He must die. Shen'er killed his son. If Shen'er leaves the city, he is certain to give chase, and that will be the day of his death. The Wasteland is not a place Imperial Preceptor Jingping may set foot in. He had best go back where he came from. " Shen Mu looked from the blind old man to Granny Zhu, unable to guess what they were really plotting.
And yet, strange to say, in the past Granny Zhu had never brought the blind old man when she came to the city, while this time she had deliberately done so.
Shen Mu had not given it much thought earlier, but now the more he considered it, the more suspicious it seemed. The blind old man had been in the gambling house the whole time and had never gone out—how could he know what had happened in the city lord's mansion? Or had the blind old man been inside the mansion at that very moment?
"Shen'er, go to sleep early.
By tomorrow, your granny may be the lord of Crimson Dragon City! " Shen Mu slept in the outer room, Granny Zhu in the inner chamber.
He had just begun to feel drowsy when suddenly he heard Granny Zhu tossing and turning in the inner room and whispering to herself, "Too excited to sleep!
Tomorrow your old lady won't just be hauling Crimson Dragon City's dragon pillars back home—the whole city is going to take the surname Si!
No, I really can't sleep, hee-hee-hee-hee.
