Chapter 197
Of the thirty-six martial masters from Golden Horse Riders Department that went to Iron Cloud, twenty-six were now dead! Three Command Horse Riders were all killed . As for the two King level leaders, one was killed, and the other one, if he could not escape… his life would be in jeopardy as well…
This was the biggest loss in the history of Golden Horse Riders Department’s existence! Having a King level leader die while out on a mission was even more impossible . Cheng Yun He could imagine the crazy reaction that Golden Horse Riders Department would have once they heard of this news…
Thinking about his own situation, Cheng Yun He felt immensely helpless . He had come to Iron Cloud Citadel with an important task, but, since he got here, he immediately fell into this bad situation without getting anything done!
From the first day he came here until now, he was pushed into a quagmire by Kong Shang Xin’s unwarranted actions . At this point, he had sank deeper and deeper without any means of pulling out .
He frowned and walked leisurely as he muttered, “Perhaps, I have to… take a risk?”

Afternoon came, and Du Shi Qing arrived . Iron Cloud Citadel was currently in chaos so Du Shi Qing would naturally come with bodyguards .
Fire Saber Great Master Gao Wei Cheng and four guards were blocked at the front of Bu Tian Pavilion; they were politely led to a hall for tea .
Seeing the situation, Gao Wei Cheng said angrily, “We are acquainted with your Minister Chu; why did he use us to climb to a high position here at Iron Cloud Citadel and immediately forget all about us? This is the action of a petty person . ” (TLN: I think I just found a good word for “small person . ”)
Gao Wei Cheng’s words made everyone at Bu Tian Pavilion glare at him angrily . The gazes were especially aflame for those who were wearing bandages; they hated the fact that they could not chop this thin, feces-spraying mouthed man into pieces .
“Sir, regardless of who you are, if you say one more bad word about the Minister here, we cannot guarantee that you will walk out alive!” Chen Yu Tong said solemnly .
Gao Wei Cheng snorted with a face full of condescension but did not say another word .
At this time, Chu Yang and Du Shi Qing were sitting opposite each other in another room .
“Senior Du, I want to know, what weakness do you have that Diwu Qing Rou has a hold over you?” Chu Yang slowly asked a long time after watching Du Shi Qing patched him up .
“Weakness…” Du Shi Qing’s hands trembled .
“Exactly . I found it strange that given your character, you would allow Diwu Qing Rou to bully you…” Chu Yang said casually, “Especially last night, His Majesty’s condition changed at such a time; this left me even more confounded…”
“Ah…” Du Shi Qing looked up at the heavens and let out a sigh . He remained solemn for a long time and finally said, “My mother, wife, and child are all at Golden Horse Riders Department… My mother is almost eighty this year… The most infuriating thing is my only son, who is twenty-three this year, has been brainwashed and has joined the ranks of Golden Horse Riders Department! He is a Silver Horse Rider! And my daughter-in-law… is also a Silver Horse Rider of Golden Horse Riders Department…”
“My life, my family have all fell into ruin…” Du Shi Qing sighed loudly and said with frustration, “What ability do I have? Who lives their life for the rest of the world? They are just a small minority; the rest live for their parents and their families… Other people might not need this, but I, Du Shi Qing… cannot be like them . ”
Chu Yang quietly sighed .
Du Shi Qing was definitely stuck with no way out! If it was a simple matter of his family being taken hostage, it would be easier to solve . They would only need to send a few martial experts to secretly rescue his family . While this was still difficult, it was not impossible .
However, the issue was his son and his daughter-in-law were loyal to Golden Horse Riders Department… This was the root of the challenge . Even if he was able to rescue them, it would be no different from rescuing two spies…
“If you don’t betray him, but disappear instead… how would that be?” Chu Yang asked cautiously .
“If that is the case, they would be safe…” Du Shi Qing laughed, “But how do I disappear? This is an issue worth some considerations… How could Diwu Qing Rou be easily fooled?”
“We don’t necessarily don’t have a way . ” Chu Yang gently knocked on the edge of his bed and said casually, “What position does Fire Saber Great Master Gao Wei Cheng have in Golden Horse Riders Department?”
Chu Yang’s remarks were certain!
Du Shi Qing smiled a bitter smile and said, “Sure enough, it cannot be hidden from your eyes! Gao Wei Cheng is also a Golden Horse Rider . But this person comes and goes as he pleases . Plus, while his martial arts skill is not exceptional, his ability to control fire is nothing to look down upon . Even more so, it seems that Gao Wei Cheng comes from some mysterious place with a massive force backing him… I only know this much . ”
“Maybe not! Mysterious place?…” Chu Yang sneered and said, “If Gao Wei Cheng really comes from there, his status is probably very low . How can people from there be so weak? Plus, if they do come out from there, there would be a lot of support; how could he be by himself?”
“Do you know about that place?” Du Shi Qing asked .
Chu Yang solemnly nodded and said, “All of Golden Horse Riders Department’s missions are told to you by Gao Wei Sheng? How about the other four guards…”
“I am not certain . ” Du Shi Qing smiled wryly, “I know what you want to do, but you need to be careful . The forces behind Gao Wei Cheng… you are currently not their opponent . ”
