“Then why would you say that?”

Old storyteller laughed, “To entertain everyone, of course!” He cast another glance at Murong Yun Shu.

Murong Yun Shu lowered her eyes, rotating the tea cup in her hands, as though she was deep in thoughts.

“Mistress, what do you think Master has done to King Liang, Jr.?” asked Lu'er.

Murong Yun Shu's eyes flickered after hearing her question, the corners of her mouth lifted, and replied her question with another one, “What do you think is most important to an ambitious nobleman?”

Lu'er cocked her head and thought for a second, “Hmmmm, his post?”

Murong Yun Shu shooked her head and mildly said, “He was already planning to rebel, he wouldn't care about his post.”

“Then what?” asked Lu'er, puzzled.

“His troops.”

“Oh yeah! That make sense! He couldn't rebel without his troops! You think Master killed all of his troops?” Lu'er beamed, she was so proud of her Master right now.

Murong Yun Shu faceplamed.

North Guardian smacked the back of his own head, “Oh, that's right.
He bought it, boss did leaving a 100-taels note in teh box after he took the Commander's seal.”

Murong Yun Shu busted out laughing.
A hundred taels for a million soldiers, what a fair trade.
She had seen many robbers in her life time, but never someone who was so “fair”.
Any thing could happen in this whole wide world!

1.
The commander's seal was usually made out of bronze or gold, usually in the figure of tiger and split into half.
The king kept one half of it and the commander kept the other half.
The king gave his order to the commander by sending his half of the seal to the commander.
Upon matching up the half sent to him and his half, the commander would carry out the king's order.
