83 Chen Xius decision (2/2)

It was just then, that the sound of someone lighting a match could be heard. Following that Chen Xiu saw the tiny flame on the match lighting up the wick of a lamp.

Once this happened, the room began slowly illuminating and revealed everyone that was inside the room.

Gulping hard from realizing how many men there were in this room other than him, Chen Xiu felt that something definitely wasn't right.

”You've finally woke up fatty.”

Frowning from hearing the word he hated the most, Chen Xiu bit in the cloth which was stuffed inside his mouth and patiently waited.

”I'm not going to waste either of our time by talking crap. I want you to answer all of my questions, about the palace, its structure, number if soldiers inside it, the number of queens, and so on.

'Humph! You think I, the great eunuch Chen Xiu, would betray my own kingdom? Never!'

As one of the men moved close and pulled out the rag from Chen Xiu's mouth, another one of the men said, ”Start with drawing a blueprint of the palace, and everything inside it.”

After saying so, the same man who spoke just now came forward and placed a bottle of ink on the floor, and put a quill and paper scroll in Chen Xiu's hands which were untied.

Holding the items he was given with his right hand, Chen Xiu threw them away without the slightest hesitation and coldly snorted.

”Forget about trying to make me turn into a traitor. I'll never do that.”

Saying those words Chen Xiu carefully observed to try and see what sort of expression his kidnappers would have.

Unfortunately, against all of his expectations, Chen Xiu's captors didn't seem angry in the slightest and had the same smile on each of their faces as if they had expected for this to happen all along.

”You think you are going to be considered a hero, because despite being powerless you didn't betray your kingdoms? Laughable.”

”Just spare the both of us the unnecessary trouble and cooperate with us fatty.”

”We can even give you enough money to leave this kingdom, and settle down as a rich merchant in whichever kingdom you want.”

”Take our offer fatty. Someone as old as you, this is the last chance you'll have to earn some money and enjoy yourself before you die.”

Chen Xiu wasn't old with white hair on his head kind, but he understood that the men were saying.

For a non-cultivating eunuch like him, who was reaching his fifties and still hadn't become the head eunuch, or obtained the favour of any of the queens or concubines, his future looked pretty bleak, if not completely hopeless.

Unless something happened which made someone inside the palace see some sort of worth in him, he would be forced to spend the rest of his life far away from the society in a house with the other old eunuchs and wait for the sweet taste of death to take him away.

Still, even though his future looked so disappointing and revolting, Chen Xiu shook his head and spoke with a great amount of determination.

”I. Will. Not. Betray. My. Kingdom!!!”
