1698 The Head 1
To him, the King was more like a cruel enemy, a stranger than a father. After he moved out of the court, he would not have survived if not for his grandma’s defense. If not for the Shadow Door, he would have been dead many times.
He had no affection for the King, but he had his blood and his mother used to love him.
If there was any possibility, he would want to spare his life.
The Shadow Door would attack the court tomorrow night, and take down the capital.
Today was the last chance he had with him. If he still had a conscience, he would spare his life.
!!
Zhou Huaijin nodded.
He told the hidden guards to lead the way, so that they could go into the court.
The hidden guards were slightly surprised that the Head would really take the risk of visiting the court.
So they had a few hidden guards follow him along the way and together they headed into the court.
The whole capital knew about the Head of the Shadow Door. Though they had never seen what he looked like, they all knew that he was a man wearing a silver mask.
Monsters had attacked the civilians twice, and the civilians were all rescued by the hidden guards from the Shadow Door.
In the civilians’ eyes, the Shadow Door was the most supreme existence. They saved their lives and could keep them safe.
Therefore… on the way to the court, civilians on the road bowed to the Shadow Door people, but never went forward to disturb them.
Zhou Huaijin did not stop them.
It would be great if the Shadow Door had such a big impression on the people.
People from the Shadow Door still wore no expression on their faces, but the guards from the court were shocked – all the civilians were bowing to the Head. What was going on?
They guided him to Qianqing Palace and asked the guards to pa.s.s on the message, telling the King about this.
The King was very unhappy.
He was humiliated, right in front of his own men!
“They can be like this for a few days, but then what?” the King said indifferently.
The guard nodded in agreement.
“Just leave,” the King said to the guard in annoyance.
The guard left, unwillingly.
The guard had thought that if he told the King about this, the King might reward him, but it seemed that the King developed some unhappy thoughts, and he should have left it.
Outside the palace, the guard said to Zhou Huaijin unhappily, “Just go in.” As if he could gain back some of his own reputation in this way.
The hidden guards from the Shadow Door pulled out their swords, but were stopped by Zhou Huaijin.
He did not spare a look at the guard before walking into the Qianqing Palace.
Qianqing Palace was a place he was extremely familiar with. A place he had been to hundreds of times, but he had not expected that one day, he would directly come to Qianqing Palace as the Head of Shadow Door. This occasion happened faster than he had expected.
He walked in step by step.
Zhou Huaijin and his men took the empty seats after they walked in.
The King was sizing up the Head of the Shadow Door.
