Lou Zigui brought the two pageboys into the kitchens where a cook was overseeing the stove. Seeing the trio, he asked, “Is there any business?”
Lou Zigui approached the cook and said nothing beyond raising his sword to the man’s neck. The cook didn’t even scream before he fell back into a dead faint on the ground.
Σ(°△ °|︴, went the two pageboys. What’s going on?!
Lou Zigui then turned back and knocked them out too, then tied them all up and gagged their mouths, leaving them in the kitchen.
“Supreme Commander,” Old Huo ran out, garbed in the guards’ clothes of the Grand Preceptor’s estate. He quickly gave a respectful greeting with hands clasped.
“Have you brought everyone?” Lou Zigui asked.
“Yes.”
“Remember not to hurt any of the kitchen staff later,” Lou Zigui urged once more.
“Yes,” Old Huo obeyed. Lou Zigui patted his shoulder and headed for the back courtyard. Meanwhile, Old Huo glanced inside at the unlucky chef and pageboays. It looked like they’d be unconscious for a while, so he clicked his tongue and shut the door before silently slipping away.
Lou Zigui retraced his steps back to the courtyard door leading to Chen Lu’s quarters, where there was already a hubbub of voices within. Afraid of being caught, he remained standing in the shadows outside while listening to Grand Preceptor Xie flip out. “Née Xu, don’t be too impudent!”
“I don’t understand what the Grand Preceptor means by those words,” Lady Xu didn’t back down. “I am the Great General’s wife and official consort. Whether it’s for sentimental values or a legal standpoint, what’s wrong with me raising his mistress’s son and daughter?”
“There is no mistress!” Chen Lu cried out helplessly.
“Supreme Commander,” Ning Xiaoyao suddenly appeared in front of Lou Zigui and almost patted his shoulder before he caught her hand first.
“How’s the situation inside?” Lou Zigui asked.
Ning Xiaoyao was jubilant as she imitated Lady Xu tearing Chen Lu a new one. “She slapped him so hard that Chen Lu’s face is swelling up, ah.”
Lou Zigui had heard of Lady Xu’s fearsome reputation, but he still found it hard to imagine a wife beating her husband swollen.
“Let’s go,” Ning Xiaoyao wanted to haul Lou Zigui atop the walls so they could see more of the show.
“Where’s that pet mouse of yours?” Lou Zigui asked absently after catching a glimpse of her empty sleeve.
“Oil Jar’s watching the show from the roof,” Ning Xiaoyoa said. “Originally, he was planning to take advantage of the chaos and bite the Grand Preceptor, but I stopped him. There are too many guards down there, he’d be no match for them all if they got snappy.”
A single mouse can be trampled with one foot. Does verbal warfare play into the mix at all? Once again, Supreme Commander Lou found it impossible to follow up with Miss Ning’s words.
“Slapslapslap,” Ning Xiaoyao was still imitating Lady Xu beating Chen Lu. As Lou Zigui watched her hand waved back and forth, he felt a breeze splash against his own cheeks and suddenly started to worry. This girl’s still young. What if that tigress Lady Xu has a bad influence on her? (Author: Hey hey, Supreme Commander, did you already forget the superhuman scene of Miss Ning whacking people with bricks?!)
