Chapter 45: Those People Part Three
A group of ordinary people could suppress all their human emotions. They weren’t excited, anxious, or fearful before they moved; they were objects instead of living beings before they showed themselves.
“They aren’t the assassins who we encountered all these years,” Da Quan said with a serious expression, “If these assassins were after us in the last 15 years, we would have all died. These assassins are close to nature and can merge with it. If they are sitting in a tavern, you wouldn’t look at them a second time. When they walk past you, you wouldn’t be alerted. Compared to those assassins who had cultivation strength, these assassins are truly skilled. You would never know when they are going to strike.”
“Therefore…” Da Quan tried to convince Fang Jie. “Should we not go to Chang’an?”
…
“We must go!” After a moment of silence, Fang Jie had a firm answer. He caressed his saber in his arms and calmed down as he said, “Regardless of how terrifying these people are, they have one weakness.”
“What is it?”
“They wouldn’t dare to kill me inside the Capital!” Fang Jie said coldly, “Although I don’t know who they are and why they want to kill me, I’m sure that they are here to stop me from going into the Capital. Perhaps I will bring a ton of trouble to the person behind all this if I get to the Capital, and that is why they must kill me here.”
The thoughts in Fang Jie’s head became clear, and he added after thinking for a bit, “After I get to the Capital, I will participate in the entrance exam of the Martial Arts Academy. If I don’t make it, I will need to report back to the Ministry of War, and I will be sent back to Fangu or to another place. If I leave the Capital, these people will have the chance to kill me again. Also, if I’m out of the Capital, I wouldn’t pose a threat to them. Therefore, they are afraid of me making it into the Martial Arts Academy, and they are afraid of not being able to kill me after I’m in. Besides… it seems like they are sure that I will make it into the Martial Arts Academy. That is why they are in a hurry to kill me… these people are from Chang’an.”
“Why are they sure that I will make it into the Martial Arts Academy? Did they get some clues?”
“Are they afraid of me doing something inside the Martial Arts Academy?”
“These assassins are well-coordinated; they must be members of a governmental agency. Ordinary forces aren’t capable of training them”
“Who do I pose a threat to?”
Fang Jie asked a series of questions.
“Li Xiaozong?” Da Quan hesitated for a second before suggesting.
“Li Xiaozong doesn’t have this ability.” Fang Jie shook his head and said, “It wouldn’t be Great General Li Yuanshan of Right Valiant Guard as well. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have sent out the Elite Infantry Battalion in the first place.”
There were too many questions.
…
At this moment, Li Yuanshan who was in casual attires stood inside Li Xiaozong’s residence in Fangu, and he looked at the map on the wall. He pointed at Wolf Breast Mountain Range and said to Li Xiaozong with a smile, “Perhaps this place will become a battleground soon. The military power of Great Sui will be demonstrated here. Therefore, you need to prepare more. This will be a perfect opportunity for you to advance. After this war, there will probably be long-term peace in dozens of years. Soldiers… we can only shine on the battleground.”
“His Majesty already decided?” Li Xiaozong was surprised.
Li Yuanshan shook his head and said, “Someone in the Capital sent information to me through a secret channel. His Majesty might use Right Valiant Guard to fight this war, so this person gave me a notice out of kindness.”
“Will Fang Jie affect anything?” Li Xiaozong couldn’t help but ask.
Li Yuanshan smiled and explained casually, “We don’t need to worry about it. The memorial to the throne was already given to His Majesty, and His Majesty issued a few orders. Wu Peisheng battled to the death, and so did the other 36 officials from the Capital. Therefore, this incident is already behind us. If His Majesty grows suspicious, who will be in trouble?”
“The Ministry of War!” Li Xiaozong nodded and replied.
“Not only the Ministry of War.” Li Yuanshan smiled and said, “Also His Majesty’s eyes and ears. Those people are the ones who don’t want His Majesty to know the truth the most. They also accepted my silver certificates and helped me lie. If His Majesty finds out, they will be punished first. Don’t worry; how can a little scout from Fangu escape those people?”
“They aren’t the assassins who we encountered all these years,” Da Quan said with a serious expression, “If these assassins were after us in the last 15 years, we would have all died.
