Chapter 1288: Killed?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When they passed by the town, they told Sifu, who was at the main store, that Wufu had disappeared. Sifu also knew that things were different now and did not need to accompany them on long trips. Still, he was afraid that something would happen to the family after they left. Therefore, he did not go with them. He only told them to be careful.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan then ordered the Cloud Guards and Dark Guards in Xinyuan County to listen to Sifu and Princess Jin’s orders during their absence before continuing their journey to Beicheng.
Beicheng was to the North of Da Ling. They had to pass through Jingyue, Changyu, and then the border before they could enter Beicheng’s territory.
At that time, they would pretend to follow Da Ling’s merchant band into Beicheng.
Although there were no merchants in Beicheng who dared to do business in Da Ling, many merchants in Da Ling still did business with other countries. It was because the country was strong that they were not afraid of the outside world, especially since the whole world knew that Da Ling had cannons. If they really fought, Da Ling could destroy whichever country they wanted. No one would dare bully Da Ling because of that.
Previously, when he learned that Fu Ying had ascended the throne as the Empress of Beicheng, Xue Yan had sent many people to Beicheng secretly in case the two countries would go to war again in this life. After all, knowing oneself and knowing the enemy would lead to victory in every battle. Therefore, when they went to Beicheng, there would naturally be people inside to update them with what they already know.
However, Fu Xu lived in Prince Xu’s mansion in Beicheng Imperial City. Even if he entered the territory of Beicheng, he would need at least two to three days to reach Beicheng Imperial City.
In addition, they would have to cooperate with the search at every checkpoint along the way. They might even have to queue up, which would delay their mission…
All in all, even if they rode horses, it would take them at least half a month to reach Beicheng Imperial City.
In Beicheng…
In a corner near Prince Xu’s estate, two masked men in black cloaks were staring at the towering estate.
The masked man leaned lazily in the corner with his arms crossed. He looked up at the sun directly above his head and said, “He should be awake by now. Let’s go.” Although they still had a few days to go, it wouldn’t be good if he stayed in that state. As long as someone out about them, it meant that they’d get in trouble.
The other person wearing a mask, who was still focused on watching Prince Xu’s Imperial Residence, did not seem to hear his words. He only said indifferently:
“I don’t think so.” The man said. “In the past, that man was always by his side. We didn’t dare to attack him or even get close to him. Now that he’s so skilled, can the two of us be his match?”
Underneath the mask, the other person’s expression was a little ugly.
“I don’t know who he is. He can’t be killed no matter how hard I try.” The masked man complained. Then, he began to drag his companion along. “Alright, let’s go. Let’s go. I feel that our plan should be effective this time. There’s really no need to keep an eye on him.”
As soon as they left, Xue Wufu woke up in a room in the backyard of Prince Xu’s estate.
Xue Wufu was awakened by hunger and his stomach was growling.
However, before he could open his eyes, he heard the sound of the door being pushed open and an unfamiliar voice.
“Let’s leave it in this room. It’s close to the front.”
“Okay then.”
Then, there was the sound of something being thrown down heavily.
Xue Wufu found it extremely strange.
