Bab 411: High with Humbleness {Bonus Chapter}

Huo Jin narrated everything to them. The things he told were unbelievable for Sheng Li, but those were the truth. "How did you find the secret underground routes of the Imperial Palace? Weng Wei could not find them, then how come you find out? And why did you not tell Tan Gengxin about that?" Sheng Li put forward a few questions. 

"As I said, I never intended bloodshed. The First Wife of the First Prince was in the Palace. I wanted her safe departure first, but my master was not ready for that. He wanted to use her as bait," Huo Jin stated. "I happened to find out about secret routes, your highness," Huo Jin did not tell the way through which he found them.

"How?" Sheng Li demanded the answer.

"I sneaked into the barracks and from there found a few maps," Huo Jin replied. Sheng Li scowled at Wang Hao and Commander Yang, who lowered their eyes.
