st find the person as quickly as you can!!" The young lady didn't care about the wall being drawn, these matters were根本 unnecessary for her to worry about."Alright, almond face, willow-like eyebrows.....Chapter 274 Ambush and Murder Part 2
"No, this won't do. You should carry them back and find someone to prove that these people were killed by the Five Tigers Door Saber of the Qin family!" Xianyao shook his head and said indifferently.
"Young Master, we just failed to recognize your greatness, but you can't harm us either. We have a mother in her eighties and a three-year-old son below, plus our wives who depend on us..." The chief of the peace officers spoke innocently; at this moment, no matter how stupid they were, they felt that Xianyao was not an ordinary person. Could ordinary people know about these things Could they analyze them so thoroughly
People like him are not something small fry can provoke. So, instead of surrounding Xianyao, they stood on both sides.
"If you don't do it, you will still get involved!" said Xianyao.
"Why" the chief of the peace officers didn’t understand.
“Think about it. The reason others secretly inform you is to handle this matter properly. But now that you haven’t handled it, it doesn’t meet their expectations and will make them unhappy.” Xianyao continued to say.
"Ah, no way! We can't speak up and we can't stay silent!" the chief of the peace officers was very troubled and looked towards Xianyao for help: "Young Master, could you think of a solution to help us..."
“Didn’t I tell you Just do what you should. Although this will bring the Qin family into it, they won't bother with small fry like you. They’ll just look into the matter and find out who’s behind it. You can flatter them when they come to investigate, but don’t be too obvious or talk about this incident. Pretend that you know nothing and there won’t be any trouble.” said Xianyao.
"Oh, thank Young Master for your guidance. May I ask how should I address you" The chief of the peace officers nodded, finding what Xianyao said very reasonable. They weren't framing the Qin family; they were just following procedure and thus there wouldn’t be any problems.
“I’m called Xianyao. If you like, call me by my name instead. No need to address me as Young Master because I am not one.” said Xianyao with a smile.
"If he's not a young master then he must be a young lord!" One of the peace officers blurted out.
“No, I’m just a small servant!” said Xianyao. He wasn’t hiding anything; every word was true, but no one would believe it.
"Young Master is really joking!"
In fact, the peace officers all laughed, thinking that Xianyao was joking around.
Xianyao smiled. Let others think what they wanted to think, whether or not to believe him depended on them. Now that he left, there shouldn’t be any problems.
"Then I’ll leave first. Ahead is where we need to stop and rest a bit; I’m feeling a little tired." Xianyao said with a smile.
“We bid you farewell, Young Master. The town ahead is our territory, if anything happens just speak up, we will certainly be of assistance,” the peace officers said smilingly.
"No need. I’ll stay for one night and then leave; I still have to travel," Xianyao smiled and waved goodbye as he left. The peace officers naturally stayed behind to deal with the scene and carry back the bodies.
Actually, there was something else Xianyao didn’t say; he felt that this matter wasn't straightforward. Whether it was from the Qin family themselves or others framing them, if these merchants didn’t have any valuable items, would they do such a thing If not, could anyone be lured out
The answer was obvious: certainly not!
Therefore, there must be something secret within this merchant convoy. This secret surely wasn't small.
However, it didn’t seem to concern him; let them worry about it themselves. He should find a place to rest and then get a good horse for his journey!
"Who was that young man just now Could he tell our arrangement even though he couldn't guess who we are If he continues to investigate, it will be very troublesome for us. Should we kill him"
After the peace officers had finished and left, two people appeared nearby, looking at where the incident happened; one of them said while making a gesture as if wanting to kill someone.
"No need. First off, he didn’t disrupt our plans but rather helped things progress as we wanted! Secondly, such a person isn't simple; whether or not we can kill him is questionable. If we can't kill him, it will only cause us trouble and there’s no point doing that," said the other one indifferently.
If Xianyao were to hear these two people's conversation at this moment, he would be quite puzzled: why are they still mentioning the Fang family Could it be that someone or something from the Fang family is involved in this matter
That would be too coincidental. He hadn’t even reached the Fang family yet and was already entangled in their affairs.
And if he knew about this situation, he would definitely investigate it thoroughly to see if there was any chance of infiltrating the Fang family; however, he didn't know!
"But what if we don’t kill him What if he leaks information out And those constables as well, should we kill them too" The person who spoke earlier said.
“Don’t do it. Doing so would be overkill! Killing them will only serve to tell everyone that something is amiss with this matter, which could backfire on us. Before doing anything, you’d best think it through first!” the other person said... And besides, what can they leak They don't even know who did it. Although that youth has a good mind and figured out almost everything, he still doesn’t know who we are," the other person continued.
"That’s true. Should we send someone to follow him"
“No need for that. If we do so, it might be discovered by him, which would give us away!” The other person shook his head and denied this approach.
“Then what should we do next”
“Do what we ought to do; don’t complicate matters.”
“Alright then!”
To check who this youth is would be necessary, hoping he’s just a passerby and doesn’t get involved in the plan. Otherwise, it will require reconsidering how to deal with him.
Xiaoyao didn't know that he had narrowly avoided getting into trouble again thanks to someone among them still having cool heads; otherwise, he would have been entangled yet again.
In fact, this was beneficial for both sides. If Xiaoyao got involved in the matter, it could escalate and bring unforeseen changes, which Xiaoyao had proven time and again that whoever dragged him into trouble would regret it and suffer misfortune.
The next morning, Xiaoyao came to a place selling mounts; he referred to it as such because while horses were commonly used as mounts on the continent, they weren't the only ones. He saw several other creatures that were types of demon beasts with certain advantages in endurance and speed but required much more trouble to raise than ordinary horses, which could be fed with grass alone. Some even needed difficult-to-obtain foodstuffs, making them unsuitable for commoners.
Xiaoyao had no intention of going through such hassle and just wanted a regular horse. At this moment, he remembered that there was another one in his possession which the young miss requisitioned for her military purposes as it would be wasteful to keep him idle when she needed good horses.
Actually, at the general’s level of the young miss, they could already afford powerful mounts like demon beasts. Although commoners couldn’t raise them, the state could.
Moreover, whenever the young miss went to battle, she didn't use Xiaoyao's horse but a demon beast mount suitable for war; her reasoning being that she was preserving his horse by not sending him into danger where he would surely die.
The statement wasn't wrong since ordinary horses sent to battle as commanders’ mounts were bound to die, even high-quality ones!
But if they didn’t need it for war, why give it to Xiaoyao Who wouldn’t want a horse
Of course, in the end, Xiaoyao had no choice but to accept. It was just one horse and he couldn't argue with the young miss about it; taking it away spared him from looking after it as the young miss said at that time, he hadn’t left home anyway and there was no use for a horse.
Later on, Xiaoyao and Chichi often walked around while playing. Sometimes they even entered cliffs or abysses where mounts would bring much inconvenience. Besides, his agility and speed were already faster than ordinary horses', and with the endless Divine Farmer True Qi, he didn’t need a mount.
But things were different now as Xiaoyao wanted to head for the Fang family via a main road, stopping at scenic spots along the way but not running around everywhere. A horse would be more convenient and could carry some items too.
Even though he could go whenever to offer incense to Chen Shiru, it still wasn’t good to delay too much. Xiaoyao wanted to head there faster and a mount was necessary for this purpose.
Why not use lightness kung fu
Is that even worth asking Xiaoyao just didn't want the hassle. Although lightness kung fu could substitute, it would be too tiring to maintain over long distances as he was still far from Fang Family.
"Sir, feel free to look around," When Xiaoyao came to this mount shop, someone led him into a stall where beasts were kept. The clerk didn't seem condescending but wasn’t particularly enthusiastic either.
Xiaoyao's attire was ordinary; he obviously wasn’t rich and could only afford regular mounts at most, hence the lack of enthusiasm from the clerk who directly took him to this relatively common stall where most people’s wallets could handle. Only a small portion were expensive for those wealthy but still considered normal folks.
Xiaoyao didn’t mind as he was looking for an ordinary horse with good endurance; speed wasn't much of a concern since he didn’t want to ride fast anyway.
So Xiaoyao began picking among the horses while the clerk felt that his assumption about Xiaoyao being just another regular customer seemed right.I think. I shouldn't be so noble, and also, her sister died twenty years ago.""Twenty years ago That definitely wouldn't be your mother, you're only eighteen now.""That's right, only the eccentric Roy...
