522 Little Sly Jiang Killing Everyone (2)
“Get out,” the man in black said coldly.
Little Sly Jiang obediently got out of the car.
Seeing her cooperation, the man in black snorted in satisfaction. He pushed aside the bushes that were used as a smokescreen and led her in.
Inside was the sacrificial soldier camp built by the Second Old Master. Sacrificial soldier camps might not be common in the Great Zhou, but they were everywhere in Nanzhao. Any family with a little background would nurture sacrificial soldiers loyal to them. However, ordinary sacrificial soldiers from large families had a quota of no more than twenty. Otherwise, once they were discovered, they would be severely punished by the law.
Helian Beiming’s official rank was special, and he had more than thirty sacrificial soldiers. This was specially authorized by the Emperor. He gave ten spots to the West Manor, but who would have thought that the West Manor would secretly build such a huge sacrificial soldier camp?
The sacrificial soldiers camp was just like its name. It was mainly populated by a large number of sacrificial soldiers. There were the most basic sacrificial soldiers, as well as silver-masked sacrificial soldiers that were rare even among the commoner and the pugilistic world. Most of them were sacrificial soldiers who had been in this camp for more than two years. Most of the people below two years could not withstand the training that was like death. They died or fled, were captured, and were killed.
Other than the sacrificial soldiers, there were also a few poison masters who controlled the sacrificial soldiers living here.
Of course, there were many other very precious things in the camp. Otherwise, why would it be the Second Old Master’s nest?
The man in black was the Second Old Master’s trusted sacrificial soldier. He was at the Second Old Master’s beck and call all year round and had a high status in the sacrificial soldier camp. Wherever he walked, many sacrificial soldiers would bow to him.
They all saw the delicate hostage behind him and for some reason, their hearts skipped a beat.
The man in black came to a storeroom. “You’ll stay here tonight. The outside is filled with sacrificial soldiers who kill people like flies. I advise you not to walk around if you have nothing to do. Otherwise, don’t blame me for not reminding you if you die in the hands of anyone!”
With that, he left Little Sly Jiang in the storeroom while he kindly locked the door for her. If prey like her was not properly isolated, it would be easy for the violent sacrificial soldiers to tear her into pieces.
The man in black left to report to the Second Old Master. As soon as he left, the lock on the storeroom door opened.
On the other hand, after the people from the East Manor confirmed that Madam Jiang had been kidnapped, they hid it from the Old Madam and brought the guards to look for Madam Jiang. The little snow fox could track a person’s aura, but once she got into the carriage, it meant that her aura was isolated.
The group stood at the fork, not knowing where the other party had kidnapped Madam Jiang. Other than Yan Jiuchao, Helian Beiming, Yu Shaoqing, and Yu Wan were all extremely anxious, afraid that a weak woman like Madam Jiang would suffer in the other party’s hands.
“Let’s split up,” Helian Beiming said.
Yu Wan agreed. “Uncle and Dad will go south. Yan Jiuchao and I will go north.”
“I’ll leave the sacrificial soldiers to you.” Helian Beiming and Yu Shaoqing only brought the guards in the manor.
Yu Shaoqing had no objections to this arrangement. His wife was important, and his daughter was equally important. He naturally hoped that the most powerful sacrificial soldiers could accompany his daughter. As for his wife, he would find her and save her himself.
Yu Wan was a little worried about her uncle and father. Yan Jiuchao pulled her hand. “Let’s go. Nothing will happen.” They were not the ones who were in trouble.
“Go.” Yu Shaoqing waved at his daughter.
Now was not the time for romance. Finding her mother was more important. At the thought that her weak mother had actually fallen into the hands of a group of fierce thieves, Yu Wan could not delay any longer.
Yu Wan got into the carriage. When she turned around, she saw Yan Jiuchao leisurely strolling over. She could not help but say, “Yan Jiuchao, why aren’t you anxious?”
Yan Jiuchao paused. “Oh, I’m so anxious.”
Yu Wan : “…”
That’s not what your expression says…
“I just believe that Mom is blessed by the heavens. She’ll be fine,” Yan Jiuchao said as he patted her shoulder.
Yu Wan : “…”
Was it an illusion? She felt that this fellow was not looking for her mother, but to watch the commotion.
The two of them got into the carriage and headed north. The further north they went, the closer they were to the center of the Imperial Capital. This place was a completely different world from the area they lived in. It was bustling with activity and there was a lot of traffic. Pedestrians rubbed shoulders with each other. Halfway through the carriage, they could not walk anymore.
If the assassin had also taken this path, then his carriage would have been difficult to walk through.
What would he do? Would he abandon the carriage and walk, or would he change to an alley?
Yu Wan asked the sacrificial soldier to bring the carriage through the alley and look out for her mother’s movements. She and Yan Jiuchao asked about her mother on the prosperous street.
