1618 Deep Into the Enemys Nes (1/2)

A dozen Black Armor Guards surrounded them without saying a single word.

”What is going on?” asked Linghu Shuang in a worried manner.

”I have no idea as well.. I have never offended them before…” replied Chen Xiaobei, baffled.

”Master Baihu! What are you trying to do?”

Bai Linsu could finally recognize the person that stood behind her.

”Master Baihu? Embroidered Uniform Guard?” asked Chen Xiaobei.

They were supposed to receive orders directly from the king and they served only the king. Hence, they were considered to be the most secretive group of people. Considering that they were the king's most trusted allies, they were given the mandate to capture anyone, take charge of a prison, watch over hundreds of officers, and even collect covert military intel. Throughout history, the Embroidered Uniform Guards were supposed to know the secrets of all officers in the nation because of their ability to collect intel effectively.

They could put the highest-ranking officer into a prison or even commit a death sentence to an entire family. That was why everyone was afraid of the Embroidered Uniform Guards. From the bottom to the top, their ranking system was Xiaoqi, Zongqi, Baihu, Qianhu, ZhenFu Shi and Zhihui Shi! This man that Bai Linsu addressed as Master Baihu was be considered to be a mid-tier Embroidered Uniform Guard.

However, he started acting in a very arrogant manner when he met Bai Linsu. It seemed like he had no regard of Bai Linsu's status. Clearly, they were not afraid of anyone except for the king of Green Hill Starfield.

After waiting for some time, the man did not answer Bai Linsu's question. So, she had to lower down her voice before asking him again.

”Master Baihu, how can I help you?”

”Motherf*cker! Do you guys even know the rules? Master Baihu is standing! How dare the three of you sit down and ask him questions? It seems like you guys have a deathwish!” said a muscular man.

With a frown on her face, Bai Linsu then stood up slowly. Upon seeing that, Linghu Shuang stood up as well. As for Chen Xiaobei, he insisted that he would not stand up for him. This was his nature after all. If someone treated him rudely, he would not be afraid of treating the person in an even ruder manner.

”Please don't get me into trouble. Stand up please!” whispered Bai Linsu.

Immediately, Chen Xiaobei stood up because he did not want to drag Bai Linsu into unnecessary trouble.

”Can you please talk to us now?” asked Bai Linsu for the third time.

”Hmph! I have an order from the Prince Regent! The order is to capture Bai Linsu and her allies!”

”What?! Master Baihu, there must be some misunderstanding! I just met the Prince Regent! He was the one that allowed me to leave the palace!”

”Are you trying to say that I'm making up the order? You should know that accusing a Black Armor Guard is punishable by death!”

”No… I'm not saying that you are making up the order. I just want to know why!”

”Why? I don't know the reason behind it! I am asked to capture you, that's all! That's the order!”

”Fine! I will come with you! As for my disciple and my friend, can they…”

”No! They are your allies! According to the order, I'm supposed to capture them as well! No one is allowed to walk away from us!”

”This…”

Bai Linsu would not say yes to the Black Armor Guard since Chen Xiaobei and Linghu Shuang were now dragged into her trouble.
