He was afraid that if Jiang Yue found out, she would come after him.
Everyone was afraid of something.
Most warrior were trained from a young age and were only loyal to their master. Naturally, he did not believe in ghosts and G.o.ds. However, it was a little odd for a three or four-year-old girl to act like this.
He stood tall and asked again, “Xue Yan isn’t a strange kid?”
“We’ll if you really want to know, that kid has always been a genius. Otherwise, everyone wouldn’t call him a child prodigy for no reason. I really don’t have anything else about him apart from that.”
“If he’s so smart, why did he leave the academy?”
“He used to, but after that little girl went to his house, I heard that he stopped studying. Some people said that he didn’t want to study anymore and wanted to be a farmer. Some people said that he didn’t want his family to bend over backwards to support his studies anymore. Some people said that because there was an additional mouth to feed now, he had to stop studying to reduce the burden for his family. Anyway, ever since he stopped studying, the little girl has been following him wherever he goes. They didn’t know that she was possessed, or they would have left her on the streets early on.”
After hearing this, the warrior, which was Prince Yi’s man of sacrifice, was certain that Xue Yan wasn’t the one that changed, the outlier was the little
Once he meets his master, he would tell him everything he learned.
Originally, the warrior had planned to return to town. However, when he remembered that Jiang lived close to Locust Village, he had an idea.
The warrior smiled and said, “Jiang, may 1 ask a favor from you? If you are willing to help me, I will immediately give you an extra five hundred silver for your efforts. How about it?”
Jiangs eyes widened with the money sign. He hurriedly said, “What favor? Tell me!”
“l want to stay at your house for a few days, but you have to tell everyone that I’m your relative.” He lived in Willow Village. Perhaps he could find an opportunity to kill Empress Shao and the child in her stomach.
In any case, he would have to die trying. If he couldn’t do it, it would delay his master’s plans.
Jiang was a big man with no brains. When he heard this, he didn’t think too much and immediately agreed, “That’s all? Easy! You can come home with me now. I’ll say that you’re my aunt’s youngest son. He doesn’t come back often, no one will suspect a thing!’
“Forget about going today. I have to go back to town to get something first. I don’t have enough money. We can meet up tomorrow and I’ll give you the five hundred then.’
He had to go back to get more money, so Jiang naturally agreed immediately.
However, when this warrior returned to the inn in town, he told another warrior what he had heard and his plan.
“It’s a little risky,” said the other warrior.
“If I don’t have the chance to make a move, then I’ve been training all these years for nothing. How will the villagers there confirm if I’m actually Jiangs cousin?”
“That’s true. If you don’t have the perfect chance to make a move, you must not act rashly and retreat quickly.”
“Got it.” After a pause, the warrior continued, “Then you should hurry back and report to our master what we know. I’ll stay for three more days at most.
If I don’t have the chance to make a move in three days, I’ll go back too.”
“Alright..”
