The spring breeze was warm, blowing over a multitude of flowers and grasses.
But as it reached Li Xuan, he couldn't help but shiver.
He had expected that General Yuan would suffer intense retaliation, but he hadn't thought... it would be so fast, so ruthless, so absolute.
Had General Yuan not considered the possibility of retaliation?
It's impossible that he hadn't considered it.
Precautions were naturally taken.
But even so, his entire household was still slaughtered.
Li Xuan heard the news just after saying farewell to Zuo Hong and returning to the Hundred Flowers Mansion. At this time, everyone on the streets within the inner city of the Hundred Flowers Mansion was discussing this matter, making it hard for him not to hear.
The carriage wheels creaked as they rolled over the stone street. In the darkness, Li Xuan's throat moved; he took a deep breath and spoke softly, "Xiaoyao, go to the Cao Mansion."
He needed to get closer, to take another look.
...
...
Cao Mansion.
