Chapter 14: The Host Arrives
Han was out of the furs and into his trousers before Fu finished the sentence.
Mo sat up slowly, with the white hair down his bare back and a look on his face.
"Leave it to me," Mo said.
"He's a marshal of the Court."
"He's a man with his ear against my wall."
Han pulled on his armor one strap at a time and kept his voice level.
"Fu. What did you find?"
"The blades from the Frost Gorge," said the voice, close and cheerful.
"Kept in the archive for three hundred years. Both snapped."
"Each one stained with the other man's blood."
Han's hands stopped on his belt.
"I read them the day I wrote my report," Fu went on.
"I am a patient man, Zhaohe. I wrote that the Lord fell without a wound."
"Then I kept my mouth shut, and I waited."
"For what?"
"For one of you to break the seal and walk out. Then there would be two hearts, loose, for the taking."
Mo's red eyes went flat and very quiet.
"Heaven has ranks above a marshal," Fu said.
"A man who eats one immortal heart climbs one of them."
"A man who eats both climbs past all of them."
"You're mad," Han said.
"I'm ambitious. Open the door, or I will drop the ceiling on you, and take what's left."
