"The Emperor's Guard?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the soldiers by the campfire changed their expressions dramatically.
Clearly, the Emperor's Guard had a notorious reputation.
Li Muyang frowned and turned to the prison cart beside him, where the little girl inside immediately explained in a subdued voice.
"The Emperor's Guard is the personal guard of the Emperor, only obeying His Majesty's commands, specializing in killing the loyal and good on behalf of the Emperor..."
The girl's response left Li Muyang with a question mark above his head.
The Emperor's personal guard? Sent specifically to kill a convicted official?
Was the Emperor of the Tianyuan Dynasty so petty? Punishing a subject wasn't enough by slaughtering all the male members of his family and banishing the female members to the frontier—all to be followed by sending someone out for an assassination?
Hearing the great name of the Emperor's Guard, the soldiers were obviously frightened.
