Guard Dog

chapter 19*

"What the hell are you doing ?" Yang Xi shouts at Meimei in frustration.

"I am stuck ! I can't move." Meimei tries to wiggle out of the secret passage underground.

"Eat more ! You will be stuck forever ! Come out."

"If I could, I would. I am stuck ! Why isn't the passage big enough?"

Yang Xi was about to retort when Meimei Wiggles out of the passage. "You go ! I will stay here."

"Do we have any other options ?" Yang xi rolls his eyes before entering the secret passage.

He walks through the passage for half an intense without knowing where to go, what to do. But with Xingchen in his new cell, there is no way he can visit this passage.

"What are you doing here ?"

Yang Xi stops as a long sword hits his neck. He looks at his side. A room ? Here ?

"Speak up !"

Yang Xi looks at the masked man "Afreen has transferred Xingchen in a new cell. He can't come here." Yang Xi stops for a moment "Zemin !"

Zemin pulls down his sword.

"Xingchen told me that you died."

Zemin enters the room casually "I asked him to do that. How did you recognise me ?"

Yang Xi rolls his eyes again "You faked to love me, Zemin. I never faked."

"Then you proceed to stab me ? Wow !"

"Well, I am not an emotional fool. You play stupid games with me, you face stupid consequences. Anyways, what's the plan ?"

"Expose Afreen and Le gui !"

"Then what are you waiting for ? If you are alive, go present yourself in the court, release Xingchen from prison then Xingchen can expose them. Easy !"

"No , le gui has someone tailing Zixuan and Yuzu. The moment I come out, they will assassinate them and me. It's not that easy."

"Then kill the tails first."

"We don't know who is/are imposters. It can be more than one. Also there is a involvement of Xi lan."

"No way !" Yang Xi frowns.

"Yes ; he told me."

Yang xi didn't notice there was another person in the room. He gasps "who is he ?"

"Yaad !"

"What happened to he cheeks ?"

Zemin sighs "Xingchen!"

Yang Xi grins "jealousy is a bitch , huh ?"

"Nothing like jealousy. He was just angry because he framed him."

Yang xi scoffs "You are still a characterless bastard. Huh ? Want two fishes at once ?"

"I want nothing!" Zemin shakes his head.

"Yet, you applied medicine to his cheeks. You covered him in warm quilt and even cooked food for him ?"

"I am not cruel like you , Yang Xi. I can't let him die."

"But you have to let Afreen and Le gui die, if you want to live, Zemin. You can't wait for them to make mistakes forever. This way you are risking Xingchen's life."

"We need to calculate our steps. One mistake can be deadly."

"You are just giving excuses !" Yang Xi shakes his head before walking out of the underground room.
