"Speak softly, don't alert anyone."
"Brother, are we here to kill those horses?"
Two figures slowly climbed down along the courtyard wall.
They tiptoed towards the stable where the thin horses of Great Thousand were kept.
The two whispered to each other.
Only to hear the person on the left say, "Why didn't the poison we used last time work?"
"Don't worry, this time the poison is lethal enough; as soon as those horses eat it, they'll surely die,"
the person in the black robe on the right assured confidently.
"Originally, the poison was milder to avoid detection by acting slowly.
This time we can't have any more screw-ups, or else Blade Guest Xu might be angry."
Hearing their conversation, He Shitou, hidden in the courtyard, turned pale.
He slowly stood up.
Originally, he couldn't believe Blade Guest Xu would be so ruthless.
But their conversation couldn't be wrong.
He Shitou had no intention of hiding, stepping forward boldly, his footsteps echoing.
