When Ning Que found Shangguan Yangyu, this upstart of Tang was toping in the House of Red Sleeves. His characteristic triangular eyes looked even more obscene when blurred. His beard was soaked in liquor and swept on the table like a brush pen. It made him look even more funny and disgusting.
The Tang Empire was undergoing very severe obstacles. Everyone from the Imperial Study to every ministry was running around and staying up all night. He could not understand why Shangguan Yangyu was here. But due to the urgency, he did not bother asking.
Upon seeing him, Shangguan Yangyu became almost sober. He wanted to go to the toilet but did not dare. Instead he asked, "What are you up to, Mr. Thirteen?"
Ning Que answered, "I need to kill some people."
His understatement was like thunder to Shangguan and made him completely sober now. There was a tic in his lower abdomen and he shivered. He felt like he already did his business in the toilet.
