Embroidered Uniform Guard: I Can Plunder Talents-Chapter 329 - 84: Encircling the Envoy! The Assassin Appears at the Marquis’s Residence (Part 3)

Chapter 329: Chapter 84: Encircling the Envoy! The Assassin Appears at the Marquis’s Residence (Part 3)

Thinking of this.

Everyone immediately became serious, taking action at the same time to stop Feng Feiyi, and also sending someone to the backyard to inform Marquis Rong’gong.

,,,

"Is Ye Liuyun’s reputation really so useful?"

At this moment, in the backyard.

Marquis Rong’gong, who knew nothing at all, was flipping through the account book in his hand.

He saw that ever since Ye Liuyun took over the case, his own losses had started to decrease bit by bit, and the money was increasing, which made Marquis Rong’gong’s mood a lot better as well.

However.

When he thought of the scene where he was publicly humiliated by Ye Liuyun that day,

Marquis Rong’gong’s expression once again turned rather ugly.

"Hmph! So what if he’s a young Grandmaster, isn’t he just an Embroidered Uniform Guard? Only good to be my lapdog."

If you really want to talk about rank,

The position of Marquis Rong’gong is definitely above that of the Southern Governor.

But Marquis Rong’gong now only dares to complain behind his back. If he had to face Ye Liuyun, he probably wouldn’t dare to say much.

"Hmph! When I have money in the future, I’ll hire a Grandmaster. Let’s see if you can still be so cocky then!"

Money makes the world go round.

Marquis Rong’gong simply didn’t believe it. Throwing money to hire a Grandmaster for one job was absolutely doable.

Just like so many others.

Marquis Rong’gong took it for granted that Ye Liuyun was only a newcomer to the Grandmaster level.

After all, he’s so young.

Breaking through to Grandmaster is already impressive, how could he possibly be any higher?

Who knows.

If Marquis Rong’gong found out that Ye Liuyun was not just an entry-level Grandmaster, but had actually reached late-stage Grandmaster, would he still think this way?

"My lord! My lord!"

Just as Marquis Rong’gong was smugly daydreaming about the future.

The servants of the house came rushing in in a panic.

"Hmm?"

This sudden scene made Marquis Rong’gong’s previously good mood instantly sour.

He couldn’t help but furrow his brow.

"Running around like that in my residence—what is this nonsense? Speak up if you have something to say!"

Marquis Rong’gong truly didn’t believe

that anything major could happen in the Imperial City.

Especially with the emperor’s birthday only a few days away, security in the Imperial City had become stricter than ever. Maybe some small stuff, but definitely nothing serious.

"Re... reporting to the Marquis!"

Getting scolded by Marquis Rong’gong,

The servant didn’t dare say much more.

He quickly composed himself.

And respectfully replied,

"There’s an assassin! An assassin has broken into the manor!"

"What!"

Assassin?

Hearing those words, Marquis Rong’gong was stunned for a moment, then, once he processed it, immediately stood up.

"What kind of assassin? What cultivation? Where are they now?"

Marquis Rong’gong was once a Martial Artist himself—not high ranking, but decent—though after getting the Marquis title he focused on scheming instead, neglecting his training.

Upon hearing someone had come to assassinate him,

Marquis Rong’gong was honestly a bit scared.

After all, the wealthier someone is, the more afraid of death. Marquis Rong’gong was no exception.

He had money and power—the rest of his life ahead to enjoy. He wasn’t about to lose it all now.

The servant, seeing Marquis Rong’gong fire off several questions, dared not hide a thing.

He immediately said what he knew.

"The assassin’s outfit was strange too—I couldn’t see his face. The guards say his cultivation seems Postnatal. When I came to report, that assassin was already heading toward the backyard, sir!"

"Postnatal cultivation?"

All the other information was ignored by Marquis Rong’gong.

On hearing that the assassin was only Postnatal—not even Innate—the Marquis relaxed a lot.

He’d once been a Postnatal Martial Artist himself, or else he’d never have made it as a bodyguard for the old emperor.

Even though he hadn’t trained in years, and maybe couldn’t beat a First-class Martial Artist now, he still felt much more at ease.

In his own residence,

There might not be Innate Realm Martial Artists, but there were certainly Postnatal ones.

Nothing to be afraid of.

"Just a measly Postnatal Realm—what’s all the panic for? No need to yell like that. Do it again and watch your head!"

Recovered, Marquis Rong’gong scolded the servant.

,,,

He really wanted to say—weren’t you the one panicking just now?

But with his contract of servitude still in Marquis Rong’gong’s hands, the servant kept his mouth shut.

Nodded hurriedly.

"Yes, sir! Understood!"

Seeing the servant so obedient,

Marquis Rong’gong nodded with satisfaction.

But suddenly remembering something, his expression soured again.

"Just a Postnatal Martial Artist dares to come assassinate me? Is this a joke?"

At this point, the Marquis started disdaining the assassin for being too weak.

"My lord!"

The servant beside him was quick.

Thinking of something, he leaned close and said,

"Could this be the same person who burned down several of your businesses before?"

"Hmm?"

This caught Marquis Rong’gong’s attention, his eyebrows arching.

It was indeed possible.

After all, there’d been no word from Ye Liuyun about catching the culprit.

So, since Ye Liuyun took over the case and was hard to mess with, instead of burning more properties, the culprit decided to just come assassinate me?

"Damn it!"

Thinking that,

Marquis Rong’gong’s face looked even worse.

Ye Liuyun may be tough, but was I ever easy prey?

"After we catch that assassin, I’ll personally make sure to interrogate him thoroughly!"

While speaking, Marquis Rong’gong raised his fist in the air.

As if he’d already planned out how to torture the guy.
