Chapter 271
Chu Yunsheng asked Edgar to guard outside the room for the entire night that night. He wanted to have a good rest for one evening. In the past two days, he didn’t have a proper rest. So he was extremely exhausted. In this castle, only when Edgar was outside his room, was he able to fall asleep.
However, the power struggle between the higher-ups of the castle was like earthquakes in the oceans, causing tsunami-like aftermath sweeping through the entire castle.
Even in the dark night, many people still didn’t dare to sleep. A lot of people were forced to choose sides again, and those who were used to being loyal to Lei Ming were almost eliminated at night. The air inside the castle was filled with the blood smell and it seemed to get heavier and heavier as time passed.
Everyone inside the castle knew that from today, the old man, who looked like he didn’t have many days left in this world, would be in charge of the castle. Lei Ming was completely dead. Although Luo Hengshen was still alive and got a huge reward from the fire messenger, he didn’t get to be the new castellan.
The family members of Lei Ming and Fu Hanbiao were relocated to Luo Hengshen’s place and heavily guarded by Luo Hengshen’s men in time. Although Chu Yunsheng mentioned that the fire messenger would not go after their families, there were still a lot of people seeking chances for revenge in the dark.
In terms of those people who used to have very good relationships with their brothers, Luo Hengshen didn’t have enough men to help them all.
No one knew how many enemies exactly did the Lei Ming brothers have. Ambushes and assassinations happened all the time, and it didn’t seem to reduce any as time passed.
Originally it was the 7 slaveholders trying to split the resources that the Lei Ming brothers had. But soon, some other people also started to join in the looting.
“Luo Hengshen once we open the gate, we will not be able to catch spies. You are scared that we caught the spies, right?” One of the slaveholders said sarcastically.
“Huh! Someone is definitely behind this revolt. But who knows if it is the spies or someone else in the castle!” Luo Hengshen snorted.
There was no sign of them coming to an agreement anytime soon, and Chu Yunsheng also didn’t want to lose so many people. So he immediately said, “Luo Hengshen. Open the gate!”
“Yes!” Luo Hengshen responded, but he didn’t leave. He was looking at Chu Yunsheng and said, “they won’t believe me, you need to give me something that they know that it’s yours or the fire messengers.”
Chu Yunsheng had already used up all the tokens, the only thing he had with him right now was the fire messenger’s sword.
