Chapter 32: Madness
Yu Qianqian had also heard about the Eagle Guards. Everyone said that they were a group of murderous executioners. Words like heartless and evil were simply tailor-made for them.
But those were just rumors. Yu Qianqian only listened and did not take them seriously.
But now she couldn’t help but waver.
Seeing is believing. The weak Grandma Liu in front of her did not look like a criminal at all.
If the Eagle Guards could even hurt her, then they must be really crazy.
As the commander of the Eagle Guards, Duke Lang’s madness must be even more terrifying. The thought of marrying such a demon immediately made the noodles in her mouth taste bad.
She couldn’t help asking.
“Granny, did the Eagle Guards really break your leg?”
When Grandma Liu heard the words “Eagle Guards”, her thin body could not help but tremble.
She stammered, “N-no.”
Lian Niang hurriedly said, “Young lady, don’t misunderstand. My grandmother broke her leg herself, not because of the Eagle Guards.”
“But they just said that it was because of the Eagle Guards…”
Lian Niang had no choice but to tell her everything.
So this had something to do with the anti-government poetry case.
Ever since the anti-poetry case was linked to the a nearby wine shop, the Eagle Guards had been coming to investigate the case almost every day.
Not only did they turn the wine shop upside down, but they also carefully checked the nearby residents and merchants.
This noodle stall was naturally no exception.
The old woman could not see. When she heard that the Eagle Guards had arrived, she thought that she and her granddaughter had been targeted by them. She was immediately frightened and fell to the ground in a panic, breaking her right leg.
Logically speaking, the old woman should be recuperating at home, but she was worried about her granddaughter setting up a stall alone and insisted on following her with a walking stick.
Realization dawned on Yu Qianqian. “So that’s what happened!”
She breathed a sigh of relief. “I suppose not all rumors are true.”
When everyone spoke of the Eagle Guards, their tone was filled with resentment and fear.
One of them cursed in a low voice.
“Although the Eagle Guards didn’t break Granny’s legs, if those Eagle Guards hadn’t suddenly appeared, Granny wouldn’t have been so frightened that she fell. Those dogs will suffer retribution sooner or later!”
The man next to him immediately hit him and warned, “Don’t talk nonsense. People might hear you.”
The Eagle Guards had spies everywhere. There was once someone who was captured by the Eagle Guards because they spoke nonsense in private and never returned.
For a moment, no one in the stall spoke, leaving only the sound of Yu Niaoniao and Dang Gui slurping their noodles.
At this moment, a customer saw two figures not far away. His expression changed and he exclaimed.
“The Eagle Guards are here!”
Everyone was shocked. They turned their heads in unison and saw two men in black brocade robes walking over.
They did not know the two men, but they knew the Eagle Guards’ garb.
The young lady who was cooking the noodles was frightened. Her originally red face instantly turned as pale as paper, and the spatula in her hand fell to the ground with a clang.
From her terrified look, one would think that she saw a ghost in broad daylight.
The diners were all terrified.
They did not dare to stay any longer. They hurriedly threw down a few copper coins and fled.
Seeing how anxious they were, it was as if there were ghosts chasing after them.
Yu Niaoniao and Dang Gui stopped what they were doing and looked at the two people approaching.
They recognized at a glance that the leader was Prince Lang.
