Chapter 20: Idiot Part Two
“Now, I know that the spy from Mongo-Yuan isn’t that little Fang Jie but you, a level 5 major of Great Sui. Li Xiaozong… now that this happened, I can’t even help you. Allowing enemies to kill key officials of Great Sui; you can’t escape death even if His Majesty likes you.”
Li Xiaozong sighed and explained, “If I didn’t change my mind, I would have died. Even if I have to die, dying a few days later is better, right?”
Wu Peisheng sneered, “You are sure that you can kill me? Don’t say that you never thought about it. Since you decided to release Fang Jie and watched Mu One and Mu Two get killed, then you wouldn’t let me go.”
“Since you know, why did you send Mu Three to the west gate?”
“You can’t kill me. Besides, I will kill all the rebels tonight.”
“No wonder…” Li Xiaozong sighed, “You are that rune master who advanced years ago, right? You hid well; no wonder His Majesty values you so much. An eunuch is a top-tier level 6 rune master? Not many people would believe this. I knew that the Capital has many hidden tigers and dragons, but I just found out that some of them are hiding as eunuchs.”
…
Wu Peisheng slowly untied his big cloak and threw it onto the snowy ground. He said, “Li Xiaozong, you should know that you have no chance of winning when fighting a rune master.”
Li Xiaozong nodded and said, “Even ordinary people know that warriors are no match for rune masters if they are on the same level. However, we aren’t on the same level. You are at top-tier level 6 and not level 7. Even though my chance of winning is small, there is still a chance.”
“You are wrong…” Wu Peisheng laughed with pride and said, “Top-tier level 6? That was three years ago. I saw the documents in the Ministry of War; you were already at level 6 when you were in the Martial Arts Academy. With these three years of practice, I’m sure that you advanced to level 7. Unfortunately for you… since His Majesty gifted me a velvet vest three years ago, I got extremely happy and broke into level 7.”
Li Xiaozong’s face changed color, and he retreated subconsciously.
“You want to retreat now? It is too late.”
Wu Peisheng sneered and slowly raised his right hand before pointing at Li Xiaozong. His hand was pretty; it was slender and clean. If purely judging by the appearance of this pair of hands, people would assume that they belonged to a woman.
The fingernails were cut extremely short, and no dirt could be seen at the edges. The fingers were slender, and the hands were slightly thick. It could be seen that he cared a lot about his hands.
When Wu Peisheng raised his hands, Li Xiaozong did one thing – escape!
Li Xiaozong stomped the ground and already appeared dozens of meters away in the next second. He was so fast that even Wu Peisheng praised, “People in Chang’an are saying that your future is unpredictable, and Principal Zhou even said that if you don’t die before 30 years old, you might become the youngest governor-general of Great Sui, a dashing rank 2 official. Too bad that Principal Zhou is correct. You can’t live to 30 years old.”
Li Xiaozong didn’t reply and continued to run. He was already dozens of meters away; naked eyes couldn’t even capture his whereabouts.
However, it seemed like Wu Peisheng wasn’t worried. He slowly curled up four of his fingers and only left his index finger straight. Then, he used his right index finger to slowly draw a rune in mid-air.
At this moment, Li Xiaozong was already more than 30 meters away.
When Li Xiaozong was about to move the fourth time, he suddenly detected the danger behind him. At this critical moment, he suddenly fell onto the snow as three icicles flew past him. Although the three icicles weren’t huge, if he didn’t dodge in time, they would have stabbed into the back of his head, the back of his neck, and the back of his heart.
This was how rune masters battled. It was hard to guard against them.
Li Xiaozong sighed and explained, “If I didn’t change my mind, I would have died. Even if I have to die, dying a few days later is better, right?”
