In prime minister Su Tian's study room….
Prime minister Su angrily crumpled a sheet of paper he was writing on and threw it into the heap of papers that had the same miserable endings, silently building a hill in a corner of the room.
After leaving Su Yan's room, he had been trying to write a letter but he couldn't write a satisfying letter even after so many attempts. He dropped the ink pen on the ink slab and got off the chair.
"Did you say they refused to accept my mission again?" His frustrated voice sounded in the quiet room that had no one but him alone in it.
The voice of a man drifted from outside the moon door of the study room. "Yes, master. This time they killed the messenger bird and…" the voice paused.
"And what? has the cat got your tongue?!" he snapped.
"...And the spies we sent after the messenger bird were killed." The voice reported.
"I expected it, you may leave." Prime minister Su said and rubbed his aching temple after the guard stopped talking.
