Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord-Chapter 1941: General’s Mansion

The guard heard the General’s command and was about to step forward to open the door of the iron cage and pull out the men in black for interrogation. However, before they could open the door, the men inside suddenly fell to the ground, their bodies convulsing continuously, their expressions seemingly in great pain.

Situ Yongjie was startled and quickly shouted to his subordinates, "Quick, quick, lift the iron cage up and see what’s happening!" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"Clang, clang, clang."

A guard pressed the switch, and the large iron cage emitted a piercing noise and began to slowly rise, stopping above the roof beams.

Situ Yongjie stepped forward to take a closer look. The men in black were painfully curled up together, bleeding from all seven orifices...

"Speak, who are you really? Who sent you?" Situ Yongjie stepped forward and grabbed one of the men in black, his eyes wide with tension, asking urgently.

"Hehe...!"

The man in black looked at Situ Yongjie, cracked a blood-filled smile, and as he was about to say something, a rattling sound came from his throat, and soon his head slumped over, taking his last breath.

Situ Yongjie was stunned. Were they really Dead Soldiers, as Xuexue had said? Could the Prime Minister truly have hired them?

Doubts swirled in Situ Yongjie’s mind.

The so-called Dead Soldiers were actually Assassins, part of an organized group with strict rules and with someone overseeing them. If they completed their mission, all was well, but if they failed, the only outcome was death. They received rigorous training, and their mindset differed from ordinary people. They generally didn’t fear death. If a mission failed, they would bite into the poison hidden in their teeth, leaving no trouble for their clients. Their reliability was almost frightening.

Because of this, their price was very high, beyond the reach of most. Those who could afford them were all high-stake clients.

The men in black had perished instantly.

The guards were dumbfounded by how ruthless these men were to themselves.

The steward was also shocked and hastily asked, "General, what should we do?"

Situ Yongjie snapped back to reality and shouted loudly, "Quickly, quickly, call the young lady back."

"Yes."

The steward hurriedly ran out.

Just as Situtu Xueer had left, the steward caught up with her not far away.

"Young... young... young lady, the... the General is calling you back." The steward, having run so fast, was gasping for breath, his old face flushed red.

Xuexue turned around, yawning into her hand, and said helplessly, "What’s the matter? Is Father changing his mind again? Didn’t we agree? I’m not interrogating prisoners. I’m so tired I could die."

"No, no, young lady, something happened." The steward looked as if he was spinning in circles with urgency.

"What happened?"

She had just stepped out; what could have happened?

"Those Assassins are all dead."

"Dead?"

"Dead, not a single one left." The steward finally caught his breath.

"Eh! What’s going on? Just now they were fine, and in the blink of an eye, they’re all dead?" Hearing this news, Xuexue was startled.

Zi Xia was also extremely surprised and asked the steward, "Steward, what exactly happened?"

The steward briefly recounted the recent events: "Young lady, don’t ask, just hurry back. The General is waiting for you!"

Xuexue sneered and thought, it seems the Prime Minister has gotten smarter this time, not using his own people but hiring Assassins from outside.

"They’re all dead. Why go back? Tell Father to drag those bodies out and bury them."

With that, Xuexue walked away without turning back.

The steward was dumbfounded. He had gone to such lengths to catch up with the young lady, only for her to walk away just like that?

Zi Xia glanced at the pitiful steward and also added, "Listen to the young lady, just go back and report!"
