Path of Sovereigns

When the guard saw the 70 or so brigands return, he asked, “Why is it just you guys? Where’s the Second Master?”

The brigands, who had been instigated into rebellion by Zhao Fu, understood that this moment would decide their futures, so they did not dare to make a mistake. One of the brigands at the front smiled and said, “The Second Master told us to come back first to report the situation!”

One of the guards nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll go and let the First Master know.”

“Wait!” One of the brigands quickly grabbed the guard before signaling to the other brigands to go in and carry out the plan.

“What is it, brother?” the guard asked with a confused look on his face.

The brigand smiled, put his arm around the guard, whispered into the guard’s ear, “The Second Master, the Third Master, and the 4,000 brothers who went out have already died. A powerful sir has surrounded our stronghold; if you want to live, do as I say.”
