Chapter 259
"Okay, go ahead." She didn't dare to be negligent at that moment.
The man then recounted the events.
It roughly means that after he disappeared, he encountered people from the imperial secret service who were hunting down his own people.
They then joined forces with the man to push the person in the dark pavilion off the cliff.
The messenger himself had also died, so a letter was given to him instead.
The rest of the content consists of trivial hardships and obstacles.
Finally, he shed two more tears, like a tough guy.
Everyone else also became sad.
Only Xiao Hei, the person who used to raise eagles, and Fan Xiaoxiao, who had already seen the message sent by Xueying, showed a solemn expression.
The three of them exchanged a knowing glance.
Fan Xiaoxiao signaled to them to keep quiet.
With an expression of deep gratitude, she accepted the letter and, with tears welling in her eyes, helped the person up: "Good, good, you've delivered the letter; you've done a great service!"
"Let's rest first, and we'll discuss it after we finish eating."
Jiang You, having heard this, had no doubts and thanked him profusely before lying back down.
Fan Xiaoxiao quickly went back to her study.
Soon, Xiao Hei and another person quietly arrived in perfect unison.
After reading the letter, Fan Xiaoxiao threw it on the table.
He stood with his hands clasped behind his back and his brow furrowed.
"Take a look at them all."
Xiao Hei picked it up, and after the two of them examined it, Xiao Hei's face lit up with anger: "It's fake! Master knows it's dangerous right now, he would never ask you to come and see him!"
"Of course I know." Fan Xiaoxiao may not have understood him so well before, but now she understands that man.
"That shameless traitor with a rebellious nature!" Little Black was furious and strode towards the door. "How could such a person exist among us! I'm going to kill him right now!"
Of all the people, Xiao Hei is the most qualified to clean house!
The other person, though affectionate towards his companion, knew that he had probably already defected to the imperial court.
"Wait a minute." It was Fan Xiaoxiao who spoke.
Xiao Hei, who had reached the door, paused, clenching his fists: "Lady Xiao! Now he wants to harm you! Jiang You is no longer the loyal confidant he used to be!"
"He might have killed other people too!"
"I know how you feel." Fan Xiaoxiao looked at Xiao Hei, whose eyes were bloodshot, and took two steps forward from the table: "Have you thought about it?"
"If it weren't for your Boss Gu sending Xueying to deliver a letter first..."
"We must still be in the dark."
"What does it mean that the other party was able to find this place?"
Fan Xiaoxiao's words were a wake-up call.
Xiao Hei's face turned deathly pale instantly.
She continued, "Just as you would expect, your people would have special markings to record places."
"So, the fact that Jiang You was able to find this place means those people already know."
"Now is not the time for us to kill to vent our anger."
“But…” Xiao Hei quickly advised, “The matter in that letter is clearly a trap! Does Lady Xiao really intend to go?!”
“Go, why not?” Fan Xiaoxiao said firmly. “After they captured and subdued the people, they set up an ambush against us.”
"Then we can certainly use their plan against them!"
"No! It's too dangerous." Xiao Hei quickly shook his head: "They must have made thorough preparations to dare to do this!"
"Moreover, that scoundrel Jiang You has been captured, and he will definitely reveal all the people our master has in the stronghold! He also mentioned the Dark Pavilion! If you go there, you will surely die!"
"Ten deaths without a chance of survival? That's not necessarily true." A sly glint flashed across Fan Xiaoxiao's face.
"Isn't it just planting a traitor?" She walked back to her desk, picked up her brush, dipped it in ink, and said, "Who says a traitor can't be used by me?"
Xiao Hei and the others were greatly shocked.
They had absolutely no idea what this young lady was doing.
Fan Xiaoxiao explained in detail: "The other party has absolute martial prowess, so a head-on confrontation is naturally not an option."
“But since they let Jiang You come here to carry out his mission, they must be worried that there are traps in the village.”
"Moreover, the fact that they didn't expect Boss Gu to send Xueying to deliver the message shows that they underestimated how much Boss Gu values us!"
“Little Black.” She paused, then asked with a smile, “If it were you, what’s the most common mistake you’d make when dealing with prey you don’t value?”
"..." Xiao Hei pondered for a few seconds: "Underestimating the enemy?"
“That’s right.” Fan Xiaoxiao lowered her head and wrote a few more strokes before putting down her pen and blowing on the ink on the letter.
"I have a plan that can kill two birds with one stone: capture them alive..."
She then sealed the letter with sealing wax and gave the instructions in this manner.
Both Xiao Hei and the other person showed expressions of admiration.
Xiao Hei gritted his teeth: "No need for anyone else! I'll lead the team myself."
Fan Xiaoxiao could tell from his frustrated expression.
If Xiao Hei isn't allowed to leave the village temporarily, he might kill him on the spot.
Before leaving, he said fiercely, "It's just that that bastard got to live a few more days!"
Fan Xiaoxiao didn't think so: "Don't worry, we'll let him go back. After it's done, he'll probably be torn to pieces."
Remembering that there were still feelings between them, she comforted him, saying, "However, if he can repent in time, abandon the letter halfway, and turn back to the right path, then it will be a happy ending for everyone."
"I hope so..."
Although Xiao Hei was incredibly fierce, Gu Da Lao's men were not the military after all.
We're all experts who grew up together, so how could we possibly be completely heartless?
...
...
Before he could finish the word "why," the man's eyes bulged and he fell silent.
Blood gushed out of his gaping wound like water, splattering all over him.
"bite--"
The short sword fell to the ground amidst his frantic cries, and his heart felt as cold as if it had been soaked by a lake in the dead of winter.
Jiang You shouted silently.
Until I heard a stranger's voice behind me.
Ah... Now, you can't go back.
Having killed your comrades, how could you possibly survive in those rural hamlets?
Wake up!
What's wrong with wealth and status? You did nothing wrong; they're the ones who are wrong...
Anyone who gets in the way deserves to die, hahaha!
"Ahhh—" Jiang You woke up in the darkness. The wounds on her body were torn, but she was so numb that she couldn't feel the pain.
The suffocating feeling made him realize the reality of being alive in his half-awake, half-asleep state.
He clutched his collar; the sweat on his forehead wasn't cold, yet it made his teeth chatter.
Once he regained his composure, he glanced blankly at the charcoal brazier beside him.
It's been burning for a long time and it's still very warm.
"Having a nightmare?" Someone opened the door and came in upon hearing the voice.
Upon seeing the familiar features, Jiang You fully regained consciousness.
He recalled that person's words, his expression gradually turned cold, and his fingers clenched the blankets tightly.
yes.
He personally killed his arrested colleague.
A man like his master is intolerant of any dissent; if he goes back, he'll only face certain death!
Why not choose wealth and luxury?
No matter how incompetent the court was, the real gold and silver and the ruling position were real.
