Intermission: Madam Wu (4)

"Oh? You've met him?" 

"Once for something. Anyways, he isn't very good at fighting and doesn't even have the most men in his army. He's just extremely smart. Like, really, really smart. I wouldn't be surprised if he's trying to overthrow the emperor… which is also why the old man constantly has to go back and forth since he trusts him the most." 

"So we should stay wary of him?" 

"Yes, please do. You'll underestimate him when you first see him, but please take my word for advice. Don't fuck with him any further… you do not want him to be going after you all the time… and I guess for now, you can sleep with me. I have tons of guards around my room, so no assassin will be able to get through." 

"Thanks," I bluntly responded and packed up my stuff before moving over to Wu's bedroom, which was… well… pretty fucking big.
