Chapter 787 - 787: Western Army
Early next morning, in Xinyuan County, the shop assistant from the letter shop yawned as he walked to the shop in front of him. He wanted to open the door of the shop and start his business.
As soon as he opened the door of the shop, he turned around and saw a person in a big box beside him. Although he knew this person, he was still shocked.
Thinking that the person was dead, the shop assistant became even more afraid.
It was not until he checked the breathing of the person in the box and found that there was breathing that he heaved a sigh of relief.
Then, he calmed himself down and gently pushed the person in the box. “Sir, wake up. Are you alright?”
The person in the box slowly woke up.
When he woke up and saw the shop assistant’s face close at hand, he subconsciously wanted to pull out his sword and place it on the shop assistant’s neck.
However, even though he had touched the sword, it was not easy to pull it out. The four walls of the box blocked his range of movement.
Only then did this person realize that he was in a box.
Seeing that this person had gone to reach for his sword, the shop assistant was frightened and hurriedly said, “Sir, I swear it wasn’t me. 1 didn’t do anything! I just woke up and came to open the shop. When I turned around, you were already in the box! Ah! Don’t hurt me, please!”
As he finished speaking, the man’s teeth were chattering. He pointed at the man with his eyes wide open.
After the explanation, the man recalled that he was squatting in the corner last night. Suddenly, someone slashed him from behind and he fainted. He didn’t know who did it. When he woke up, the sun had already risen. He wanted to climb out of the box, but he realized that the man was pointing at him as if he had seen a ghost. He frowned, but he subconsciously looked down and saw a letter lying on his body.
On the envelope was written — Benefactor Yunzi of the Heavenly Spirit Temple.
Each word was sharp, like a steel knife that had been unsheathed, ready to kill.
“This is…!” The man’s eyes immediately widened.
Immediately after, the man quickly put the letter into his pocket and climbed out of the big wooden box. He reminded the shop assistant, “Be careful of your head if even half a word of what happened today is leaked.”
“Yes, yes, yes.” The shop assistant kept responding. Even if he was beaten to death, he would not dare to reveal it.
This person was not in the mood to say anything more to this shop assistant and hurriedly left the shop.
Although the Empress Dowager was not in Xinyuan County, she was already in the Yiran area. This person rode a fast horse and went to find their master, the current Empress Dowager.
Two hours later, this person handed the letter to Empress Dowager Yunzi with both hands.
Empress Dowager Yunzi sat at the table and took the letter. She lowered her old eyes and opened the letter while smiling in amusement. “So, the person should be from Xinyuan County, right?”
The person who had been struck by the hand knife said, “Your Highness, if the person who knocked me out unconscious last night is the person we are looking for, it should be.”
“Very good.” Empress Dowager Yunzi nodded, the smile on her face nonchalantly. She opened the envelope and took out the letter as she said, “They didn’t hesitate to reveal their location when sending this letter. This means there’s something big involved.”
The letter was folded twice, and Empress Dowager Yunzi unfolded it step by step.
There was only one sentence in the letter, but it was different from the one she had before — The Western Garrison General is in danger.
She was mentally prepared and knew that it might be something big, after all, the last letter was about the death of the Emperor. However, Empress
Dowager Yunzi was still shocked when she saw these words and stood up..
