At this moment, Xue Ping was entirely unaware of the storm he had unleashed with the executioner's blade he had raised by his own hand, let alone that the blade would ultimately swing toward himself.
He was frustrated beyond measure. As soon as Shichen ended, he immediately lowered his head and hurried toward the Xue Residence's carriage.
No sooner had he left the Ministry of Revenue than the Military General standing guard followed him, and upon seeing him, began to alert those around: "That treacherous cur has come out; no need to watch the other gate anymore. Brothers, hurry over!"

Before long, a crowd was hastening after him, all their attention focused on him!
