"Oh, oh? How... how did the plague..."
Before Liu Taofang could finish his sentence, his entire body stiffened at the table. His eyes turned pitch black, and blood oozed from his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. Within just two breaths, he lost all signs of life.
Liu Hong watched him quietly, his facial muscles twitching slightly, as if he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
After a long while, he finally picked up his cup, finished his wine, and got up to walk outside.
Whether it was because of the silvery moonlight cascading down or some other reason, Liu Hong's black hair appeared completely silver-white.
A faint song echoed through the air.
"Once the torches burned red, a sudden wind brought frost over the entire city, and the bells of the Horse Gang rang..."
Song Jinjian revealed his figure from a corner, silently watching him disappear around the bend.
"Liu Wu...
"How dare you ruin the Lord's grand plan? I cannot let you live!"
