Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 194

Chapter 194: The Assassins’ Plan
The leader thought for a long time and said, “We may not be able to kill her. But we should be able to torture her.”

Hearing this, the other assassins all looked at their leader. The assassin sitting next to the leader said, “Lao Da, what do you mean is–”

He didn’t finish his words, but everyone present knew what he wanted to say. The leader sneered and whispered, “Since she looks down on us, it means she didn’t put up a defense against us. The journey back to the imperial capital city is long, and no one knows what will happen along the way.”

As soon as these words came out, the leader’s eyes flashed with a cold, murderous intent. The youngest assassin saw this and asked, “Lao Da, didn’t you say we couldn’t kill her?”

The leader looked at him and said, “I have observed her since we brought her out of Yunshan Village. I found that as long as her life is not in danger, those strange things will not happen. So, what we have to do is to make sure that when we take action, she will not die. As long as she is still breathing, nothing will happen to us.”

Hearing this, the youngest assassin sneered, “That is good. Then… Should we do it now?”

The leader shook his head and said, “Now is not the right time. Let’s wait until nighttime to let her have a taste of our skills. Tonight, we will let her know the consequences of looking down on Xue Lang Pavilion.”

As soon as these words came out, everyone sneered and began to discuss how to make Liang Jiaying’s life worse than death. At the same time, Duan Yixin, Xuan Ruiquan, and Lan Zhuoyu arrived in Yunshan Village and were a little surprised to see the villagers collecting soil.

Lan Zhuoyu was silent for a moment before asking, “Miss Duan, is there no food in your village?”

Duan Yixin thought about his question and answered, “I don’t know about this either. After the bandits attacked our village, everyone lost their property and family members. With the roads flooded, they may not have food right now because they can’t go out to earn money or buy food.”

Lan Zhuoyu looked at the villagers and sighed. It seemed that the lives of common people were no better than those of the Jin Yi Army in the north. While the three of them were watching the villagers dig up the soil, Chi Xiyou saw her from a distance.

He quickly put down the barrel that was half filled with soil and shouted, “Xin Xin!”

Hearing him calling her name, Duan Yixin turned to look at Chi Xiyou and smiled, “Elder Brother Xiyou.”

Chi Xiyou hurriedly walked over, stood in front of her, and asked worriedly, “Xin Xin, where are you going these days? Are you alright? Did that person do anything to you?”

Duan Yixin watched Chi Xiyou anxiously circle around her while asking questions and said helplessly, “Elder Brother Xiyou, you asked so many questions at once. How should I answer you?”

Seeing that Duan Yixin was fine, Chi Xiyou calmed down and breathed a sigh of relief. Just when he was about to ask what happened, he suddenly saw the tall and very handsome man Duan Yixin was supporting. Seeing his arm around her shoulders and his body leaning closely against her, Chi Xiyou’s face darkened.

Judging from his clothes and the sword in his hand, Chi Xiyou knew that this man was extraordinary. However, he would not draw any conclusions until he learned more about him.

Chi Xiyou looked at Duan Yixin and asked, “Xin Xin, can you tell me who these two young masters are?”

Duan Yixin did not notice Chi Xiyou’s vigilance towards Xuan Ruiquan and Lan Zhuoyu and answered calmly, “These are General Lan and General Xuan from the Jin Yi Army. My friend is a subordinate of General Xuan, and he came to me for help three days ago.”

Listening to her explanation, Chi Xiyou’s mouth twitched as he thought, ‘Came to see you? I’m afraid your friend is not here to see you but to kidnap you.’

Although he wanted to say this, Chi Xiyou knew that if he wanted to question Duan Yixin, he would have to wait until there were no outsiders. Thinking of this, Chi Xiyou looked at Xuan Ruiquan and Lan Zhuoyu again. When he saw the black tokens hanging on their waists, he believed that these two men were really generals of the Jin Yi Army.

As far as he knew, the Jin Yi Army was stationed on the northern border and was in the middle of a war against the Xiong Nu. In the past, when Chi Xiyou went to Chun Shan Town or nearby villages, he would often see soldiers from the Jin Yi Army coming to buy military rations. However, the possibility of two generals of such a powerful army coming to their village without reason was almost zero.

Chi Xiyou narrowed his eyes and thought, ‘Judging from the pale look on this General Xuan’s face, he must be sick. But there should be military physicians in the army, so why do they need Xin Xin’s help?’

Unable to find a logical explanation, he glanced at Duan Yixin and then lowered his eyes.

‘These two generals must have ulterior motives for approaching Xin Xin. These days, those people in the imperial capital city are preparing for something big. I have to keep an eye on them in case they come to harm Xin Xin.’

After Chi Xiyou observed Xuan Ruiquan and Lan Zhuoyu for a while, he stepped forward and grabbed Xuan Ruiquan’s arm from Duan Yixin’s shoulder.

Chi Xiyou showed a polite smile and said, “General Xuan, unmarried men and women should keep their distance. Please respect yourself and stay away from Xin Xin.”

Hearing these harsh words, Xuan Ruiquan stared at Chi Xiyou silently and thought, ‘This person should be Chi Xiyou. His martial arts skills are outstanding, and it would not be easy to kill him. I don’t know what happened to his family in my previous life, which caused the Chi family to disappear without a trace from Yunshan Village. Looks like I need to investigate their background further.’
