Chapter 17
“Take him down!” I shouted.
Shadow Scale, his wrist wounded, flew into a frenzy and attacked with wild slashes.
His martial arts moves were extremely cunning and vicious, completely unlike any military style.
Xiao Zhang and I joined forces to fight him, while the other Constables in the hall surged forward as well.
After a fierce struggle, we finally subdued Shadow Scale completely.
We tore off his human-skin mask,
revealing a completely unfamiliar, sinister face beneath.
……
The enemy spy organization was uprooted.
Cui Sheng, Shadow Scale, the fake Captain Yin, and twenty-eight others
were sentenced to death and reported to the Imperial Court.
The secret letter retrieved from Xu Minghao’s corpse was urgently submitted to the Ministry of War.
However,
three days later, news arrived:
That secret letter was a fake!
The deployment information inside was wrong!
We were all stunned.
Could even the secret letter inside Messenger Xu’s corpse have been swapped?
Where did the real one go?!
Could it be that the spies still succeeded?!
