Next day..
The Swordsmen of the Black Stream had replaced over a thousand troops guarding every corner of the Capital. The – people they sent were stronger than ever before.
Average – their strength is in the final stage high level Swordsman shutter, one shutter is higher than the average strength of – average people - the previous person.
Xu Xiaosi sent people – stronger people to keep watch – guard when there is an incident like yesterday.
“I'm sure we're ready with all the worst possibilities.” Xu Xiaosi smiled in satisfaction as she walked around the Capital looking at the activities of her subordinates.
His subordinates were busy collecting loot and captives from – houses in the Capital as well as from outside the Capital, they collected loot because they liked to enrich themselves.
While, the captive is used as a tumbar to increase his strength, or for his own personal satisfaction.
“Master, it looks like today is everything!.” Say one of his subordinates when the day is near evening.
“Good!.”
Xu Xiaosi returned to the Palace…
The night had already arrived when Xu Xiaosi had also arrived at the Palace.
“How is the Capital?.” Xu Xiaosi was greeted by Xiao Feng with questions about the developments in the Capital.
“All running smoothly, and no intruders!.”
Hearing Xu Xiaosi's words, Xiao Feng nodded in satisfaction. If so, it means yesterday's phenomenon was just the wits of – enemies to trick them and they don't have to worry about it.
“It turns out they were right – right just bluffing!.” Xiao Feng grinned, He did not expect the White Flow Swordsman to also be able to use dirty means just to trick them.
“They are nothing more than a bunch of fools who are also fools in bluffing!.” Cao Pi added.
The entire room was boisterous again due to the sound of their laughter.
That night they were about to talk about the attack plan to the Yin Empire which they would do in 4 days.
“It looks like the preparation is ripe, we have already gathered the entire strongest army!.”
Arrived – just arrived a Palace Guard broke through when they had just started that meeting.
“What's the matter?, do they attack again?.” This time Xiao Feng was quite calm and gave the person a chance to speak.
“Master, not that, but the entire treasure in the storage warehouse, exhausted no left!.”
“What?.” But his calm did not last long, he became furious after hearing that.
Xiao Feng was not the only one – who was furious, The Higher-ups and Nobles also felt the same way, but the one who was the most furious was Xu Xiaosi.
“Omong empty let alone this?, shit!, who did it?.”
Xu Xiaosi stood up from her seat clenching her hands, as she had been making sure that there was nothing suspicious in the Capital all day.
“Master Xu, have you made sure nothing is suspicious?, or have you confirmed that you have managed to steal all the loot?.” one of the nobles named Yang Kang, accusing Xu Xiaosi of being a traitor.
“I can confirm that Mr. Xu will not do that.. It could be that the person who accused him was the real culprit.” One of the other nobles named Yang Lok defended Xu Xiaosi and instead accused Yang Kang as the real culprit.
The Nobles were taking each other down, as one of them would occupy the Emperor's Throne the moment those Black Stream Swordsmen went to attack the Yin Empire.
“Yang Lok, why are you defending him, are you his accomplice?.”
“Xu Xiaosi is my right hand man, do not involve him in your usurpation!.”
A cold voice accompanied every remark that came out from Xiao Feng's mouth which was then standing with a sharp gaze
He trusted Xu Xiaosi a lot, because he had known her for a long time, apart from being a right-hand man and partner, he had also been his friend since childhood.
“Ma-forgive us, Sir!.” They say sorry and kneel on the floor.
Xiao Feng retracted his aura again making the Nobles take short and deep breaths.and after that no one else spoke or charged recklessly, everyone sat back down and shut up.
Cao Pi who is still relaxed in his chair, speaking with a very reasonable and convincing opinion “Master, it seems like the enemy is trying to make us suspect each other.”
“But I haven't seen any enemies all day while in the Capital!.” Xu Xiaosi was sure of that, He had been watching the city closely for a whole day, nothing escaped his eyes.
“Then, how can the item be lost if it is not the enemy who took it?, do you think there is a traitor among us? Or did the item disappear by itself?.”
Cao Pi was still at his initial opinion regardless of how the enemy did it.
Xiao Feng stomped his feet on the floor and the floor was shattered, he said coldly “Stop arguing!, let's just check it out!, all of you stay here and continue this meeting without me and these two people!.”
“Good Mr.” They cupped their hands while bowing their bodies slightly.
Xiao Feng, Xu Xiaosi, and Cao Pi went to inspect the Warehouse…
When they arrived at the warehouse in question, they immediately checked the surroundings.It was true, there was nothing left in the warehouse, the place was clean as if it had never been used as storage for goods. Moreover, there was no trace of the enemy at all in that place, there was only the same Black Flow Swordsman aura mark as them.
Cao Pi frowned, only after examining the place did he change his opinion. “It looks like there really is a traitor!.”
“You're right, I don't feel any trace of the White Flow Swordsman in this place, all traces of the aura I feel are just traces of the Black Flow Swordsman aura.” Xu Xiaosi nodded confirming Cao Pi's opinion.
“Then, who about – guess who did it?.” Xiao Feng who was standing while crossing his arms in front of his chest, threw a question to hear the opinions of the two of them.
“Looks like one of our subordinates!.”
Xu Xiaosi thought that way because she had not seen anyone else in the Warehouse other than her subordinates during that whole day.
“Or, subordinate to the actual perpetrator?.”
Cao Pi agrees with Xu Xiaosi about one of the subordinates who committed the theft, but argues that the subordinate did not move on his initiative, but on the orders of the true traitor.
“Who are you guys suspecting!?.” Xiao Feng just went straight to the point without being stale.
He is the leader of the Swordsmen of the Black Stream, and the one who hates a traitor the most, therefore, he will not let that man linger – long with his life.
“Maybe one of those Nobles?.”
Xu Xiaosi reasoned enough, That noble is a greedy – person, so they could be reckless to do it for the sake of enriching themselves.
“I don't think it, it makes more sense if one of the sect leaders is a Higher-Up.”
Cao Pi had a different opinion with Xu Xiaosi, for him, even though the Nobles were greedy, but they would not do so, because it was too stupid and reckless, Moreover, they could obtain a lot of treasures, but they would not do so, when one of them became Emperor.
It made more sense for one of the higher-ups to do so, as they needed treasures to develop their sect.
“We should check their space ring!.” Xiao Feng did not want to speak for too long, it was better for them to directly confirm the culprit with a proof.
