He just looked at the assessment questions the other party asked today and guessed the intention of the three to ask for bribes, and asked her to bring gifts.
The way of officialdom is not uncommon for Xue Mingfei. Her natal family is a family of petty officials. If she were not worried about her beloved son at the time and was in chaos, she could have guessed a few things at the time and afterwards. But her intentions were easy to guess, and it would be difficult to move forward without gifts. Xue Mingfei, on the other hand,
I'm very curious as to what exactly that man gave, so that even a high-ranking official from the empire could be so rude.
After the two parties exchanged a few more polite words, Concubine Xue Ming stood up and left, feeling confident that as for her prince, Concubine Xue Ming was not too worried. With that man here, Concubine Xue Ming believed that they would be able to return safely.
At this time, Yan Guiyi, who was camped fifty miles away in the west city, was not very happy. After walking for a long time, they walked out of fifty miles away. However, the bandits' activity range on the wanted order was as far as two hundred miles away.
With their traveling speed, let alone suppressing bandits, whether they can make it in three days is a question.
The reason why they move so slowly is because there are always people in the team who don't listen to the instructions and are dragging their feet.
Yan Guiyi knew that his team was made up of people from the market, and the quality was not high. But it took half a day to travel fifty miles on a mount, which was outrageous. Two of them were the most procrastinating, so he paid for it.
But the other party didn't take him as a little kid seriously at all, let alone command.
Not only did he walk slowly, but he often made trouble with others. As soon as it got dark, he shouted that he would set up camp and not leave. At this time, the other princes were probably already two hundred miles away, busy looking for the gang.
Yan Guiyi even suspected that the other party was deliberately causing trouble, so he whispered his doubts to Su Junbao.
"Did you see it too?" Su Junbao asked, with approval in his eyes but his expression remained calm.
"I can tell, although they are dressed in ordinary clothes, their tone of voice is completely different from other people!" Yan Guiyi said.
Although he is a down-and-out prince, ordinary people still show a certain amount of respect when they see him, but they are not as confident as these two people and do not take him seriously at all.
"You guessed it right, those two people were sent by other families to infiltrate our team!" Su Junbao said in a voice so thin that it was almost inaudible.
"Then let's...!"
Yan Guiyi was so anxious that he almost stood up, but Su Junbao motioned him to sit down first with his eyes.
"Don't worry, I already knew that it would be useful if I kept them with me!" Su Junbao said.
Under his eyes, Yan Guiyi gradually became quiet again. He knew that it was always right to listen to this person.
"Little prince, don't stay alone. Come and have a drink with us. You are too young to drink. It's okay to ask the half-human maid to drink with us. Anyway, it's boring at night, so don't be idle!"
While Su Junbao and Yan Guiyi were talking, the two spies sent in by Tong Minghai were watching a few team members sitting not far away, drinking soju, and they were very happy. One of them even raised a bottle of wine and shouted, causing a burst of laughter.
Laughing happily.
Some people looked at Alessa with fire in their eyes. This woman was tall and a bit different, but she looked pretty at night. She had a well-developed and strong figure, and her face had an indescribable strange beauty. Finally,
The main thing is that she is the only woman here.
Under the gaze of everyone, Alessa involuntarily shrank behind Su Junbao, really afraid that she would be asked to come over to accompany him. She was just a slave doing rough work, but she couldn't handle these people.
Yan Guiyi turned around and looked at them coldly. He looked at these people with more and more disgust in his eyes. He spent money, but he didn't have the slightest taste of a master. These yelling people are more like the people giving orders here.
"We have to go on a journey tomorrow. If you are all drunk, why are you going to go tomorrow?" he asked.
"Then don't leave. The mountains and rivers here are beautiful. It would be nice for us to stay for a few more days to eat, drink, and have fun. You don't have much chance to become the king anyway, so you might as well enjoy yourself while you still have time, don't you think?"
One of the two people sent by Tong Minghai answered, his smiling eyes full of unspeakable ridicule and ridicule. Yan Guiyi looked at this face and felt a surge of anger. He looked at Su Junbao's calm eyes and said,
I endured it again.
He snorted coldly, turned his head, and ignored the other party.
The others who didn't speak looked at the helpless little child with pity in their eyes. He was a typical evil slave who deceived his master. But he was a child with no useful adults around him, so what could he do?
"Just let them drink, drink more, I'm afraid they won't drink!" Su Junbao whispered in Yan Guiyi's ear.
It was late at night, everyone went to bed, and everyone else rode horses. Only Yan Guiyi rode a chariot, Su Junbao's chariot. Yan Guiyi slept in the car, but Su Junbao did not get on the car, leaning against it.
Sitting in the car, it seems like sleeping but not sleeping.
After a while, Su Junbao heard the sound of someone getting up at night. He opened his eyes slightly and saw that it was one of the two people. They drank too much, so it was normal for them to get up at night.
The man stood up in a daze and staggered towards the outside of the camp. It seemed that he was still drunk. Everyone else was asleep. Su Junbao smiled slightly and followed him quietly.
The man didn't go far when he came to a bush and stopped in front of it. He spread his arms towards the roots of the tree. Suddenly, his body twitched violently and he wanted to shout, but a hand was pulled from his mouth.
His back was tightly covered, and at the same time, a sharp blade penetrated his heart from behind and poked out from the front.
It was accurate and cruel. Such a knife would kill anyone. The man only struggled a few times before his body softly closed his eyes.
"Since you like it here so much, why not stay here!"
Before he died, he seemed to hear a voice telling him that if he was given another chance, he would rather not say what he said tonight.
If you don't understand the simplest principles of taking people's money and helping them to eliminate disasters, you will definitely have to pay a price.
It wasn't far enough here. Su Junbao carried the body, used his body skills, and jumped two or three to a mountain stream, and threw him down. Without even looking back, he quietly returned to the camp, waiting for the next opportunity. No need.
It didn't take long for the second man to follow the same example and follow in the footsteps of his companions and be buried under the mountain stream.
After doing this, Su Junbao stretched himself. It was getting late and he really needed to take a nap. He still had a lot of work to do tomorrow.
The next day, when people got up, they found that everyone else was there, but those two people were missing.
"It's strange, where did Lu San and the others go? They haven't seen anyone all morning?" someone asked.
"Maybe they are lazy and are deserters!" Su Junbao added seemingly intentionally or unintentionally.
He said it casually, but in other people's ears, it was a different story. Everyone who heard it looked at each other, their eyes flickering, thinking about something.
