"Nonsense, how could we leave such words? That would utterly diminish the prestige of our Black Wind Village."
Startled, some couldn't help but jump up.
"What did Thirteen do! This is too disgraceful."
"Did we not agree to write in bold lettering on the screen in Yangxin Hall that the heroes of Black Wind Village wish the Empress Dowager a happy birthday?"
"Yes, big enough that the Emperor can't pretend he didn't see it, ensuring he can't ignore it as if nothing happened. Thirteen, how did you manage to mess up big brother's plan for amnesty."
"Has Thirteen relapsed into his bad habits? Did he drink a few sips of cat urine and forget big brother's instructions?"
"We, on the other hand, heeded big brother's words and didn't dare drink a single extra drop."
The group argued back and forth, entirely forgetting they were in the great prison of the Capital Governor Mansion, discussing matters involving beheading.
