Chapter 38: Journey to the South(2/2)
The old man who took the supplement did not panic, as if he was confident, and asked without changing his expression, "I wonder how much my head is worth?"
“Very valuable.”
The bearded man smiled, but his eyes fell on the plain-clothed scholar driving the carriage, "This must be the jade-faced young scholar next to you, Mr. Cao Jun, right?"
The scholar in white turned a deaf ear, but the expression of the old man in scholar's robe changed slightly.
This jade-faced little scholar was his personal bodyguard. He was also a member of the martial arts community in his early years, but he didn't practice swordsmanship. He specialized in concealed weapons and was somewhat famous.
Later, he hired him with a large sum of money and served as a retinue. After that, he disappeared from the world, and very few people knew about it.
This group of people knew the true identity of the jade-faced little scholar, so they were obviously well prepared.
Moreover, the people in the world are all wandering clouds and wild cranes, with a high and arrogant heart. Those who can be asked to sacrifice their lives for the people in the court are actually not very skilled. Just like this little jade-faced scholar, who is good at using hidden weapons, he is really right with others.
In fact, there is not much advantage in fighting. This is what the old man is most worried about.
"Actually, it's more valuable to capture him alive. Why don't you come with Mr. Situ? Maybe he will give in and save his life. After all, the man who paid for it admires Mr.'s talent very much." The bearded man rolled up his sleeves.
, holding a knife in his arms.
The Lord Situ mentioned by the bearded man narrowed his eyes and looked uncertain.
He was originally a very virtuous and highly respected old man in Daxia, but he failed in the court and was demoted to serve in the northern battlefield by the monarch of Daxia.
From time to time there were rogue bandits in the north, and as an old man, he could only die.
The Prime Minister of Jin Pan State was his old friend for many years. After learning about this incident, he sent a message to him, telling him that His Majesty the Emperor of Jin Pan State admired him very much and hoped that he could take up a position in the Jin Pan State court.
The old man kept busy and took only two of his closest relatives with him, and went south in the name of traveling. He planned to meet the Emperor of Jin Panguo first, and then pick up his family after the matter was finalized.
He had long heard that the Emperor of Jinpan State had a huge backing. Although he was a vassal state of Daxia, the Emperor of Daxia was very jealous of, even afraid of, this person. If he could gain a foothold in the Jinpan State court, then his
At least the family's lives are safe in Daxia.
The old man actually had some guesses about the identities of these people blocking the way. They were probably enemies of the Great Xia Kingdom, or simply the monarch knew his purpose and adopted clumsy methods.
Before leaving, the old man had already anticipated this, otherwise he would not have taken the jade-faced little scholar with him.
But the other party was so confident that it was inevitable that he would be heartbroken.
The old man is not worried about the life of his old bones, but is afraid that his family will be harmed later.
In the smoky court, there is no such thing as bad luck for the family.
