Marquis Gu had not yet reached the age of thirty, dealing with the rebels might be very efficient, but it might not be possible to restrain a high ranking official who had climbed out of a heap of corpses like Fu Zhi Cheng — but that did not matter, in the end, he still owed the old marquis for his support.

Kuai Lan Tu was absolutely certain that Fu Zhi Cheng would not dare to harm Gu Yun. Although most of those belonging to the previous Marquis' faction had already withdrawn from the army due to old age, the relationships were complicated, their might still remained. If he dared to be ungrateful and harmed the old Marquis' only son, the chaos arising from inside his Southern Frontier Army would be his downfall.

In addition, even if that Fu was arrogant, would he dare think that the measly Southern Frontier Garrison had the ability to rise up and shake the foundations of Great Liang?

Just as they left, a wooden bird as large as a palm turned its eyes, fluttered its wings and flew into the sky engulfed in blood and smoke, quickly turning into a little black dot and disappearing.

At the same time, Fu Zhi Cheng in the Southern Frontier Garrison received the news that the carriage of the Marquis of Order was robbed. He was utterly shocked, instantly jumping up and grabbing the scout’s collar: "Where is the Marquis now?"

The scout said: "The Marquis shot and killed Xing Zi Lin, but somehow afterwards, he continued to stay in his den and did not leave, even replacing the original flags of the bandits with the battle flags of the Black Iron Camp."

After Fu Zhi Cheng heard this, his face twitched for a moment, then he raised his hand and swiped all the cups on the table to the ground, his voice filled with hatred: "Little success but plenty of failures!"

The scout did not dare to breathe out, quietly knelt on one side, and watched the commander of the Southern Army walk back and forth in his room, resembling a caged beast. Fu Zhi Cheng was not at all surprised to hear Gu Yun had cleaned through Xing Zi Lin's den, Gu Yun getting robbed for real would be a shocking, never-before-seen story.

The question was... what was the meaning behind the Marquis' action?

Why didn't he continue on his way, but stayed in the den?

If it was only for the purpose of interrogating the bandits, why should he change the flag?

Who was he waiting for? What was he waiting for?

Gu Yun came in the name of giving condolences. Why did he bring along the flags of the Black Iron Camp?

Since the battle flags were here, was the Black Tiger Emblem also here?

Was there truly only a few guards and a coward next to him?
