As the Deputy Commander of the Right Army, Man Lang was filled with joy.
His heart was filled with joy and joy. Of course, he was happy when he saw that Xiao Tiance had died. This was because he was well aware of Xiao Tiance's background. With Xiao Tiance around, it was impossible for him, the deputy commander, to be promoted to a higher position.
Although he was only the Deputy Commander of the Right Army.
However, if he could become the commander of the Right Corps, the level of benefits and treatment would be on a completely different level.
If Xiao Tiance didn't commit any serious crimes, his position wouldn't be shaken.
But now, Xiao Tiance was beheaded in the Ten Thousand Tea Mountain Villa.
This matter must be very serious. Perhaps Xiao Tiance had provoked someone he couldn't afford to offend.
But for Man Lang, this was a very good opportunity for him to be promoted.
He immediately sent someone to inform Xiao Tiance's father, who was the Great Commander of the Imperial Guards.
Such an important matter must be reported as soon as possible.
Man Lang also ordered the surrounding area to be sealed.
Then, he observed the dozens of corpses on the ground.
Four of them were only unconscious. They were now captured because the place where they were unconscious was only a few steps away from Xiao Tiance's corpse.
"Take him down and interrogate him!"
"Make them tell me everything they know!"
Man Lang said coldly. There must be something fishy about this matter. After such a large group of people died, there was no movement. Don't tell me that the Ten Thousand Tea Mountain Villa didn't know about it. This happened in your territory, so you must be the first to know about it.
There was no doubt about it.
But now, the blood was almost dry, and your people only came to inform me. Aren't you looking for trouble?
Furthermore, how could there be no one patrolling such a large area? As imperial guards, if they didn't even have this bit of vigilance, how could they protect the safety of the Imperial City?
If this matter wasn't handled well, the Imperial Guards would be in big trouble.
After all, the head of the Right Corps Commander had been chopped off by someone.
For the Imperial Guards, if they couldn't protect themselves, how could they protect others?
"There was only one wound on these people's bodies!"
"One strike to kill!"
One of Man Lang's subordinates quickly investigated the area and immediately returned to report.
The 15 Imperial Guards in front of him were Xiao Tiance's confidants, so they were the only ones present at that time.
"Who was the person who was supposed to patrol this area?"
Barbarian Wolf asked.
"It's the third group."
"Get me the leader of the third group!"
Man Lang ordered. Not long after, the leader of the third group was brought before Man Lang.
"You were supposed to be in charge of this area. Why weren't you on duty at that time?"
"Reporting to the Deputy Commander, at that time, the Commander found this lowly one and asked this lowly one to guard the foot of the mountain!"
The leader of the third group hurriedly said. Such a big thing had happened. It was like hanging a knife over his head. It was already very courageous of him not to run away immediately. After all, this area was under his jurisdiction.
"Oh!?"
"He transferred you to the foot of the mountain, so why did he stay here? Could it be that he stayed here to meet his enemy?"
Man Lang coldly said.
However, on the other side, the unconscious Imperial Guards quickly told him everything that had happened. If they didn't clearly explain such a big thing, then they would definitely die.
Therefore, at this moment, these Imperial Guards also told him the whole story.
While Man Lang was listening to the news.
There was a trace of astonishment on his face.
"A maidservant!?"
According to Man Lang's information, these guards were all knocked unconscious. The reason why they were gathered here was to help Xiao Tiance guard so that Xiao Tiance and a maidservant could do things peacefully.
Basically, any man would know what was going on. However, Xiao Tiance was really pitiful. For a mere maidservant, he actually lost his life in the end. It was really hard to believe.
Indeed, the gains did not make up for the losses. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen?
"It seems like the culprit only did it on the spur of the moment."
"That maidservant, what's her name? Capture her for me!"
"As for those guards, the others are all dead. Only a few of them are fine. Since they wanted to silence people, how could they do such a dirty thing? There must be something fishy going on!"
Man Lang did not want to be played like a monkey. The reason why these people were still alive was probably because the enemy wanted to deliberately leave some false signals.
"This time, things have gotten a little out of hand. Now, the people in the Myriad Tea Villa are all important guests. I can't possibly capture all of them!"
Man Lang thought in his heart.
If that was the case, there was no other way. This was a very troublesome matter. Next, he would have to see how the Senior Commander would deal with this matter when he arrived.
Anyway, he had already grasped the general information. Before the Senior Commander arrived, he had to capture the maidservant.
Man Lang thought in his heart.
If he was unable to provide an explanation for this, the First Commander would definitely blame him, Man Lang, once he was angered.
Therefore, before the Senior Commander arrived, he had to get to the bottom of this matter.
In the Banquet Garden.
Li Zongjiu and Kun Arashi were looking at the invitation letter in their hands nervously.
There were already people who had won prizes in front of them.
However, they were only the third and second prizes.
The best prize, a sixth-grade medicinal herb, had not been won yet. Therefore, the two of them were nervously looking forward to it.
"Next, it's the most important moment of this banquet's lucky draw. A sixth-grade medicinal herb!"
"Xianyang grass!"
"The provider of this Xianyang grass is the Hundred Medicine Pavilion. Thank you for your sponsorship …"
The host on the stage was also blabbering a bunch of nonsense, making Li Zongjiu want to rush up and punch him in the face.
After talking for a long time, he finally got to the point. He directly drew a number from a box.
"The number of the winner of the first prize is …"
However, the host did not read out the number behind it.
The sound of iron hooves and armor could be heard from the door.
"Boom!"
The door was opened.
Immediately, a group of armored soldiers rushed in from all directions. The leader was riding on the back of an armored rhinoceros, his entire body brimming with killing intent.
