Chapter 789: Twelve-Character EvaluationChapter 1544: Professional Green Hat Wearer

A light cavalryman rode at full speed, and in the blink of an eye, Wu Yong arrived at the place reported by the scout.

Here, of course, there was no one.

Wu Yong raised his hand and ordered, "Everyone, three people per group, disperse and search. If you discover any suspicious targets, alert immediately. If after an incense stick's time there are still no findings, return here to concentrate and wait."

Yes!

Yes!

The well-trained Yan Yun Sixteen Riders were fully experiencing their prowess at this moment.

Though it was only a small squad of thirty, their movements were strictly controlled, coordinated perfectly, with not the slightest hint of panic or carelessness.

Just this tactical acumen alone would have earned a unit the title of the Empire of Qin's foremost cavalry.

After Wu Yong issued his command, he appeared to nonchalantly choose a direction and rode out on horseback.

Soon, Wu Yong arrived at a mountain pass. As he was looking around, a light laugh came from somewhere.

"Brother Wu, you truly still remember the agreement we made back then."

Hearing the sound, Wu Yong turned his head abruptly and looked at Zhou Changshou walking out of the shadows. He said in a deep voice, "It's really you!"

“Of course it is me.”

"The fireworks are the signal. When you see them, start from where they're launched and head southwest one mile, turning left as you go. I'll be waiting for you here."

"This was five years ago, you knelt before me begging for my help, the terms of our agreement, do you remember I certainly haven't forgotten."

Wu Yong gritted his teeth and said: "Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you directly You have to know that now, no matter who it is, as long as they can bring your head back, the prince will reward them heavily. Do you still dare to come find me"

"As for outsiders, I wouldn't dare. But you, I do."

Zhou Changshou said calmly, "Five years ago, out of a momentary compassion, I casually planted a willow tree. Now it has blossomed and borne fruit. Even I myself at that time did not expect that there would be a day when you would come into use. It can be seen that all these are destined by Heaven. Since it is destined by Heaven, then you will not betray me."

Wu Yong said solemnly, “Although I, Wu Yong, am not a great hero, I also understand the principle of repaying kindness. Zhou Changshou, back then you were the first advisor to the prince, deeply trusted by him, and even took over the power entrusted by the prince to oversee the Yan Yun Sixteen Riders.”

"But now, you're merely a wanted fugitive, with no way to escape the wrath of the king. I come to meet you now to settle our past grievances. You have been kind to me, and I will not kill you. Nor will I inform the king of tonight's events. Just go. Pretend we never met."

Zhou Changshou let out a light chuckle and said, “Five years ago, you colluded with a concubine from Ning Wangfu. The king almost discovered your affair. To save the lives of your entire Wu family—seven people in total—you came to me for help. I ultimately helped you cover it up, even using a ruse to make the woman appear dead. Not only were you not implicated and spared your entire family, but you also lived a carefree life with that concubine.”

"Wu Yong, my gratitude towards you knows no bounds. To say you saved my life would be an understatement."

If Li Chen were here and heard this, he would surely be astonished.

This King Ning, huh Seems like he's a real expert at wearing green hats.

Just been put a hat on by Zhou Changshou, but who would have thought that five years ago, Wu Yong had already put one on him.

Wu Yong listened to Zhou Changshou's words, his face twitched incessantly, but what Zhou Changshou said was all true, he couldn't refute it.

At this moment, Wu Yong looked up at Zhou Changshou's eyes, where a fierce light had already appeared.ency. He shall be executed by Lingchi."When he heard about the massacre of the Yi Nine Clans and the sentence of Lingchi execution for the palace maids, a hint of fear and guilt flickered across Hu Pi...
