章節 410: 410. Day of Peace

By the time Qiao Cong and Min Rou hurried back to Xuanbei City, Sheng Yue had already returned to Nanping City with the severely injured and poisoned He Wei. Mo Yan, who hadn't yet slept and was reading under the lamplight, saw them enter. His expression darkened as he stood up and snapped his book shut with a "pop." "What happened?"

Sheng Yue's voice was low, "It was Min Rou. She was bewitched by Su Liang, and came to assassinate us with accomplices. He Wei didn't guard against her and was hit by a hidden weapon; I was also struck."

"What about Min Rou's mother?" Mo Yan asked coldly.

Sheng Yue shook his head, "Didn't see her. She must have fallen into Su Liang's hands." He then laid He Wei down and lit another lamp, revealing four small bloody holes on He Wei's body. One of the nails had pierced through He Wei's body, with half of it protruding out from his back, while the others were still embedded inside him.
