Jiang Si's tone was so calm and so firm that the man was shocked and blurted out, "How did you know?"
He was afraid of death, but he dared not reveal the secret of his tribe. He just spoke up just to confuse these people and put the blame on Wu Miao.
But how does this young man in front of him know that he is a Xue Miao?
The calmer Jiang Si acted, the more frightened the man became.
Yu Jin suddenly leaned down to look the man in the eye, stroked his chin and asked slowly, "Did your clan leader send you to assassinate me?"
The person I was originally planning to kill actually took the initiative. Is this going to cause trouble?
As a result, Yu Jin's hesitation completely disappeared.
"Tell me why."
The man pursed his lips and said nothing.
He won’t tell you even if you kill him!
Jiang Si was not surprised by the man's behavior.
These tribes believe in the true God and are very steadfast in their character. They will not say anything that they shouldn't say, even if it means enduring the pain of having their hearts eaten by thousands of snakes.
The Xue Miao tribe must have had sufficient motives to attack A-Jian, otherwise they would not have had to confront the prince of the Great Zhou.
In the past few days, Jiang Si learned many things from the Great Elder that he had never known in his previous life. His mind raced and he had some vague guesses.
"Is it because of that hexagram?"
The man was stunned and looked at Jiang Si as if he had seen a ghost.
He couldn't figure out how this seemingly ordinary boy knew this.
The man's reaction made Jiang Si more certain of his guess, and he said coldly: "You Xue Miao want to get rid of the Seventh Prince of the Great Zhou who can bring dawn to Wu Miao, right?"
The Xue Miao and Wu Miao belonged to the same tribe many years ago. Later, because they were dissatisfied with the tradition of female dominance, some talented men split away and formed the Xue Miao tribe.
It’s a pity that the most talented ones are always the saints of each generation, so Xue Miao is always suppressed by Wu Miao.
If there is one tribe that is the most thorny in the eyes of the Wu Miao among the more than ten tribes, it must be the Xue Miao. Of course, the Xue Miao will try every means to get rid of anyone who is beneficial to the Wu Miao.
If it were in his previous life, Jiang Si didn't know the existence of this hexagram, and he wouldn't have guessed it so quickly, which shows the importance of the information.
At this moment, Jiang Si couldn't help but wonder: What are the other two hexagrams? If he knew the two hexagrams, all those confusing secrets would surely be solved.
"Who are you?" The man stared at Jiang Si closely, his heart sank.
Even the great elder Wu Miao was not sure that they knew the meaning of this hexagram, so how did this young man know it?
He stared at Jiang's face, wishing he could see through her.
Jiang Si ignored the man's question and thought of a past event: "So, it was you who found a woman who looked a bit like the Wu Miao Saint to get close to the King of Yan?"
She still had a fresh memory of the shocking incident at Baiyun Temple. Later, she and A-Jian worked together to capture the two men, but in the end they did not get anything out of them.
This was not the only time Ah Jian was assassinated.
Jiang Si glanced at Yu Jin.
Yu Jin's face was gloomy, but he smiled playfully: "I was wondering why some inexplicable flies always appeared after returning to the capital. Now I finally know the source."
The man's scalp numbed at Yu Jin's smile and he bit his lower lip hard.
He had no way of knowing what these people knew, and as for the rest, he would never say a word.
There was a slight clicking sound.
The man's expression was distorted, and he wanted to say something, but found that he could no longer make a sound.
What's wrong?
This question emerged in the man's mind before he fell into complete darkness.
In that brief moment, he suddenly realized what had happened: the Seventh Prince of the Great Zhou had broken his neck without asking a single question.
This person must be sick... How can you interrogate someone like this...
These thoughts completely disappeared as the man lowered his head.
Yu Jin took out a clean white handkerchief, wiped his hands, threw it beside the body, and said calmly, "Deal with the person."
Long Dan responded with a “yes” and dragged the still-warm body of the man out.
Jiang Zhan licked his lips and said, "Prince, why did you kill someone before you even found out anything?"
Jiang Zhan had seen a lot of blood since he came to the south and fought on the battlefield, but this was the first time he had seen someone being killed so cleanly during an interrogation.
Yu Jin smiled and said, "It's enough to know who is going to deal with me. There's no point in asking more questions."
Jiang Zhan disagreed and said with some worry: "But if the Xue Miao tribe wants to deal with you, these alien races have endless magical methods, which are hard to guard against."
After he came here, he was well taken care of by his superiors. His superiors had specifically told him not to provoke the people of the tribes living between Da Zhou and Nan Lan, so as to avoid being plotted against without knowing who did it.
The prince killed the man without asking questions clearly, which will definitely cause trouble in the future. It will be even worse if Fourth Sister is involved as well.
Jiang Zhan couldn't help but glance at Jiang Si as he thought about this. He couldn't help but move his eyes downwards, imagining the black bug in his sister's sleeve, and silently withdrew his gaze.
Maybe, he was overthinking...
Yu Jin smiled indifferently: "It doesn't matter how many magical methods you have. Long Dan, protect the princess. I'm going to go out for a while."
"Ah--"
Yu Jin patted his ginger-like hands and said, "Don't worry, I'll be back after I kill someone."
Jiang Zhan wiped his face and said, "Wait, Prince, who are you going to kill?"
He spoke in such a relaxed tone, just like his old friends saying, "I'm going to stroll along the Jinshui River and come back soon."
"Leader of the Xue Miao tribe." Yu Jin replied to Jiang Zhan calmly.
Jiang Zhan almost stumbled and fell, and grabbed Yu Jin's sleeve and said, "My Lord, it's not so easy to kill the head of the human family. I think this matter needs to be considered carefully—"
Jiang Si handed a sachet to Yu Jin and said softly, "Go early and come back early."
Jiang Zhan slowly turned his neck and looked at Jiang Si woodenly.
Seeing this, Jiang Si comforted him, "Don't worry, second brother. A-Jian knows her limits."
Hearing Jiang Si say this, Yu Jin was overjoyed and smiled slightly: "Well, I'll be back before dawn, so I won't be late for my trip."
Jiang Zhan had not recovered from his shock until Yu Jin disappeared into the night.
Is this a question of whether this will delay their journey? How could Fourth Sister just let the prince leave like this?
"Fourth sister——"
"Um?"
"I always thought I was pretty reckless—"
"Second brother has been much better lately." Jiang Si smiled and comforted his brother.
"No, I mean... isn't it too hasty for the prince to do this?"
"Don't worry, second brother. Ah Jin is not a reckless person. It's late. Let's go and rest. We have to travel tomorrow."
Jiang Zhan returned to his room and sat down. He then realized belatedly: The prince is not a reckless person, and he has been much better recently. Fourth sister is obviously partial to him!
Mr. Jiang was sulking for a while, then thought that no one was there to comfort him, so he fell asleep angrily.
Unlike those who were in deep sleep, Yu Jin was running fast in the deep winter night.
Killing a person is sometimes difficult and sometimes easy.
But he likes to cut off the Gordian knot. No matter how many tricks Xue Miao has, once that Toad Mouth dies, he will definitely not have time to take care of her for a short time.
