The leaders of the three major noble families agreed on a course of action and immediately put their plan into motion, asking Brother Mao to send a whopping thousand subordinates to serve as bodyguards for their families.
If that perpetrator dared to cause trouble, they would ensure it would be a one-way trip for him, like trying to hit a dog with a meat bun!
Of course, they also knew that if Xie Xun, the Deputy Commander of the Eastern Territory, could be killed, ordinary guards couldn't possibly protect them.
But things having reached this point, they had no choice but to fight with their backs against the wall.
After all, obeying orders meant death, and disobeying them also meant death, so they might as well go all out!
However, the junior members of the peripheral families were not so composed.
If the leaders of the three families complied, they would be safe, but now, they too were dragged onto the same battle boat.
