Chapter 601: I Anticipated Your Anticipation

  "Your Highness, everything is ready. We can swing into action at any time." The person who came was Xiao Shijie's trusted aide.

 Xiao Shijie's eyes darkened. "Proceed. What about Chu Min's end?"

 "The spy sent news that Chu Min is already waiting at the east city gate."

 "Good."

 The banquet hall was still filled with singing and dancing. Just as the guests were toasting and jesting with each other, sounds of shouting and fighting suddenly erupted from outside the door.

 A figure was thrown in from outside the courtyard and smashed heavily against the banquet door.

 "Argh!"

 "Who's there?" The Imperial Guards immediately became wary and drew their long swords.

 The people in the hall immediately tensed up when they heard the commotion.

 The singing and dancing also stopped abruptly.

 The sounds of fighting outside the door became more and more intense, and everyone's hearts were in their mouths.
