More trouble than he's worth, utterly useless, Wang Linchi's expression was grim.
Yesterday, Murong Xuan had told him he was going to poison the new City Lord, Murong Su. But this morning, Murong Xuan was killed in a counter-attack.
Moreover, his death was swift and decisive; his head was hung on the city gate for public display, the reason cited being the attempted assassination of the new City Lord.
Normally, after Murong Su assumed office, Murong Xuan was supposed to leave for another post elsewhere.
The best outcome would have been to ambush and kill him en route. Unexpectedly, Murong Xuan decided to strike first. Not only did he fail, but his head and body also parted ways.
So, is he planning a showdown with me now?
Murong Xuan's death didn't affect Wang Linchi. He controlled one thousand Mud Gang Warriors who, after a period of training, had begun to show promising results.
Aside from their lack of actual combat experience, they were shaping up well.
