At this moment, in an obscure inn in the capital city, a group of people were holding a secret meeting.
"Boss, what should we do now? I heard that the people from the Dongfang family have also started their investigation!"
One of the men in black spoke up. He had a long scar on his face, which looked extremely terrifying.
"What are you afraid of! The Dongfang family is nothing to us. What do we, the Wolf Guards, have to fear!" the leading man said.
He was wearing a mask, with only a pair of eyes showing. There was a sense of vicissitude in those eyes.
"So what should we do next? Where on earth is the young master?!" another man in black asked.
But the masked leader didn't intend to answer him. Instead, he said to everyone, "We are upholding the legacy of the Golden Wolf Guards. The young master is the son of the former leader. So you don't need to have any doubts. All you need to do is follow the orders! Now, go!"
After his words, those people had nothing more to ask. They knew that even if they asked, they wouldn't get any results. So they left the room one by one.
After they all left, the leading man slowly took off his mask, revealing a somewhat vicissitudinous face. There was a deep wound at the corner of his mouth, as if it had been pierced through the cheek by some weapon.
He sat on the stool, picked up a cup of tea and drank it quietly. His eyes were flickering, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"What are you thinking about, Left Envoy Tian?"
A young man's voice suddenly rang out. Then a young boy walked out from behind the screen. He looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, but there was a maturity in his eyes that was different from his peers.
As soon as Tian Gang saw him, he immediately bowed and said respectfully, "Your subordinate welcomes the young master!"
"You still know I'm the young master? During the days I've been away, you've let the Wolf Guards become so arrogant!" the boy called the young master widened his eyes and shouted angrily.
There was uncontrollable anger in his tone.
"Your subordinate wouldn't dare!" Tian Gang immediately bowed and calmly replied.
"You wouldn't dare? Then why did you give the emperor a slow - acting poison? He won't die quickly. Are you giving him a chance to get an antidote, or do you still have some expectations for the royal family of Dongsheng?!" the young master said sarcastically, with disdain in his eyes.
After hearing this, Tian Gang raised his head. With a determined look in his eyes, he replied, "Your subordinate's life was saved by the former master. How could I deceive the young master! "
Saying this, he reached out and touched the scar on his mouth. His face suddenly became a bit out of control. He widened his eyes and continued shouting, "The pain of losing my wife and the hatred of being disfigured, I've never dared to forget for a single day. So how could I have any lingering affection for the royal family of Dongsheng? Your subordinate will always regard them as lifelong enemies. Giving the emperor the slow - acting poison is just to increase the pain of him and those around him. After all, this poison was given to me by a Western Region poison master. How could there be an antidote?!"
As he spoke, his eyes were full of pain, as if the things that had happened to him were just yesterday, and as if his face was still hurting.
The young master, Meng Yu, looked at the man in front of him and the scar on his face. He had once told him that the scar could be removed with medicine, but he didn't want to. He said he wanted to keep the scar to remember the pain those people had brought him.
Thinking of this, he calmed down. He hooked his lips, reached out his hand and helped him up, saying, "I naturally believe you, Left Envoy Tian. But now the Wolf Guards have just risen. Compared with the former Golden Wolf Guards, we are far inferior. As the young master, I'm naturally a bit worried. Since we have the same enemies and the emperor is about to die soon, we can avenge our great hatred and then live a carefree life."
Meng Yu said this. Although he was just a young boy, the thoughts in his eyes were hard to fathom. He really didn't look like a boy of his age.
It was no wonder. When he was still young, his father was killed and his family declined. For him, the Golden Wolf Guards was his home. So from then on, he made up his mind to make his enemies pay the price.
And Tian Gang, as an old subordinate of his father, had taken care of him and taught him martial arts and everything. He was like a kind teacher to him.
That was why he didn't allow this man to deceive or even betray him in the slightest.
"Why did you suddenly come back today, young master?" Tian Gang asked.
Meng Yu picked up a cup of tea and sipped it slowly. Then he said, "I've already corresponded with the people from the Southern Neighboring Country. They already know the current situation of the emperor of Dongsheng. But what they will do depends on their choice."
He said it casually, not caring at all that his few words might trigger a war between the two countries, with countless casualties.
Tian Gang didn't have any qualms about his words. He hated the entire royal family of Dongsheng deeply. So it was not a bad thing for the Southern Neighboring Country to start a war. In this way, all his hatred would be swept away.
"What's the current situation of the Dong family?" Meng Yu asked again.
"It's okay. They're just a bunch of useless people. They won't pose any threat to us." Tian Gang replied.
But the young boy sitting in front of him sneered. Then he said, "We'd better be more cautious. Find a chance to get rid of them to prevent any accidents."
Tian Gang nodded after hearing this.
For the Dong family and the current Wolf Guards, the Dong family had ordered the Wolf Guards to kill the emperor and the queen. They thought they were the controllers.
But they didn't know that they were just a push. Even without them, the Wolf Guards would still assassinate the emperor. They were just a perfect scapegoat. In this way, the Wolf Guards could escape and reappear in the world as a new assassination organization.
Thinking of all this, Meng Yu drank the cold tea in his hand. His lips curled up fiercely, and he felt extremely pleased.
Tian Gang looked at him and felt an indescribable emotion. He had watched him grow up. He had seen him change from a well - behaved child to a person who could kill an entire family without blinking an eye.
Although they were just in a cooperative relationship, both aiming to defeat the same enemy, seeing him like this, Tian Gang still felt a bit melancholy.
He might never have a child in his life. Meng Yu was like a son to him. Now that he had become like this, Tian Gang didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse.
