Chapter 928 - Came to Catch Adultery (1/2)

Zhang Heng had been eagerly waiting for the reward. He didn’t expect to get a big slap instead of a reward.

He asked in confusion, “General, you said that Qin Haodong is still alive now? That’s impossible. I’ve already cut off his head.”

Jiang Bin kicked him to the ground and said angrily, “Bullshit. General Xiahou and I just met Qin Haodong. Let alone his head, he didn’t even lose a single hair.”

Zhang Heng said, “That’s impossible. I’ve already beheaded him.”

Xiahou Hongxiang said gloomily, “Where is the head?”

“I threw it on the roadside but I can get it back now.”

“Take us there,” Xiahou Hongxiang said.

Zhang Heng got up from the ground. Then, he led Xiahou Hongxiang and Jiang Bin towards the shrub he had passed by last night.

When he arrived, the strong smell of blood was still there. He jumped into the shrub and picked up a head with dried blood.

“General, look! I did kill him…” Zhang Heng said as he raised the head in his hand.

When Jiang Bin saw the appearance of the head clearly, he was instantly unable to restrain his rage. He then sent Zhang Heng flying once more with a hard kick.

“Take a look! Who the hell did you kill?”

Zhang Heng didn’t know why he was kicked. He looked down and found that he was holding Li Gao’s head in his hand.

Jiang Bin said angrily, “Zhang Heng, I asked you to kill Qin Haodong but you killed Li Gao. What do you mean by this?”

“I… General, the one I killed was Qin Haodong…”

Zhang Heng was completely dumbfounded. He had clearly seen Qin Haodong lying on the bed and then cut off Qin Haodong’s head. How did Haodong’s head become Li Gao’s?

Jiang Bin gave him a distasteful look. “You are such a waste. What’s the use of keeping your head!”

After that, he waved his hand behind him. Immediately, seven or eight guards rushed over, pressed Zhang Heng to the ground, and cut off his head.

Xiahou Hongxiang didn’t even spare Zhang Heng a glance. He furiously returned to his Lord Mansion. Jiang Bin followed closely behind him.

“Please forgive me, General,” Jiang Bin said.

“Forget it.” Xiahou Hongxiang said with a gloomy expression, “That Qin Haodong is incomparably cunning. It seems he has some hidden means that we are unaware of.”

Jiang Bin gritted his teeth and said, “General, Why don’t I just take our men to surround him tonight? Let’s see what he has?”

“You can leave now. I’ll think about it first.”

Xiahou Hongxiang waved his hand impatiently and asked Jiang Bin to leave.

He really wanted to kill Qin Haodong. However, he didn’t want to make too much trouble for himself and get into trouble with Princess Xingyue.

Just as he was thinking about how to kill Qin Haodong quietly, a black shadow suddenly appeared in his room.

This person wore a black robe and a ghost mask on his face. He exuded a ghostly aura from head to toe.

“The man is from Ghost King Sect.”

After realizing the identity of the man, Xiahou Hongxiang immediately tensed up. His Genuine Qi surged wildly. He was ready to take action at any time.

However, the man on the opposite side said, “General Xiahou, don’t be nervous. I’m here to talk about cooperation with you.”

“Cooperation?” Xiahou Hongxiang said, “I can’t think of any reason to cooperate with anyone from Ghost King Sect.”

However, he did not dare to act rashly, because the man on the opposite side exuded a powerful momentum, whose cultivation was not lower than his. The man must be prominent in the Ghost King Sect.

The man in black said, “General Xiahou, just a few days ago, Qin Haodong killed the ghost slaves of our Ghost King Sect and Zhong Xiaodie, the Ghost Concubine of our Ghost Lord. Do you think it’s possible for us to cooperate?”

Xiahou Hongxiang’s expression changed. “Do you also want to kill Qin Haodong?”

The man in black said in a cold voice, “No one can get away scot-free after killing the people of our Ghost King Sect.”

Xiahou Hongxiang quickly calmed down. Although he really wanted to kill Qin Haodong, Ghost King Sect was the enemy of Tortoise Kingdom after all.

He said, “Your Ghost King Sect is now wanted by the entire Tortoise Kingdom. It’s good enough that I don’t kill you. It’s impossible for us to cooperate.”

The man in black was not afraid at all. He continued, “I know what you are worried about. Our Ghost King Sect will attack Qin Haodong tonight. As long as you watch at the sidelines and don’t send anyone to help him, it will be fine.”

Xiahou Hongxiang came up with an idea. As long as he was not involved with the people of the Ghost King Sect, he would not be caught red-handed by others. This cooperation was still feasible.

He said, “I can accept your suggestion but you must promise not to hurt Princess Xingyue and the others.”

The man in black said coldly, “The only person we want to kill is Qin Haodong.”

“Deal.” Xiahou Hongxiang said, “I’ll remove the city guards from the courtyard tonight, so it will be convenient for you to take action.”

“Sure!” the man in black said and then quickly disappeared from the room.

Xiahou Hongxiang walked around the room twice in deep thought and felt that there was no loophole in the matter. After calling Jiang Bin to his room, he told him what had happened just now.

“General, do you think the man of the Ghost King Sect is trustworthy?” Jiang Bin asked.

Xiahou Hongxiang said, “Although the people of the Ghost King Sect are cunning, I heard from Xiao Yulong that Qin Haodong did kill 12 ghost slaves of the Ghost King Sect and Zhong Xiaodie, the Ghost Concubine of Ghost Lord, in the Seven Storeys Pagoda.

“With their vengeful characters, Ghost King Sect won’t spare the boy. Besides, we don’t need to do anything. Thus, others won’t have any evidence against us.

“I feel like we can give it a try. You transfer the courtyard’s city guards tonight. Let’s have the Ghost King Sect kill Qin Haodong for us.
