Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 269

Chapter 269: This Is About My Friend, Not Me
A secret guard stared at Liushiliu and said, “Brother, you are from the First Division. Your relationship with Master should be very close. Why don’t you go and see what trouble our Master has encountered?”

Liushiliu thought for a while and said, “Fine. I will give it a try.”

The other secret guards nodded and patted Liushiliu on the shoulder, “Brother, I wish you good luck!”

Liushiliu nodded, gathered up his courage, and leaped up onto the tree.

When he landed on the thick branch where Xuan Ruiquan was sitting, he knelt in front of Xuan Ruiquan and said, “Master, is there something troubling you? How about sharing it with this subordinate? Maybe this subordinate can provide some solutions for you.”

Xuan Ruiquan looked up and saw that it was Liushiliu. He remembered that Liushiliu had a good relationship with Duan Yixin. He thought for a few seconds and said, “I have a friend who had trouble with his fiancée.”

Upon hearing this, Liushiliu immediately knew that his Master’s trouble must be related to Duan Yixin. He nodded and said, “This subordinate is all ears.”

Seeing that Liushiliu didn’t seem to know that what they were talking about was him, Xuan Ruiquan’s expression slowly relaxed.

He thought for a while and said, “My friend has some secrets that he never dared to tell his fiancée. However, his fiancée said that if he didn’t tell her, she might break up with him. But this friend of mine worried that if he told her, she might leave him.”

After saying that, he looked at Liushiliu and asked, “Do you think he should tell her this secret or just pretend that he has no secrets?”

Liushiliu was very surprised when he heard this. He never expected that his Master would have such a problem. It seemed that Duan Yixin was really his Master’s Achilles’ heel.

After a moment of silence, Liushiliu said, “Master, in my opinion, if Miss Duan has given you the opportunity to tell the truth to her, you should tell her everything. With how kind Miss Duan is to you, you must consider your future instead of succumbing to present fears. Keeping secrets from her will damage your relationship.”

Xuan Ruiquan glanced at him and said, “This is about my friends, not me.”

Liushiliu suppressed his laughter and lowered his head to hide his smile, “Yes, this subordinate made a mistake. Please forgive me, Master.”

After saying this, he secretly looked at his Master. Seeing that Xuan Ruiquan was in deep thought, Liushiliu waited patiently.

A few minutes later, Xuan Ruiquan said, “Thank you for your advice.”

Liushiliu raised his head and saw Xuan Ruiquan’s face was calm. He nodded and said, “This is what this subordinate should do. I am very happy to be able to help Master solve this problem.”

Xuan Ruiquan patted Liushiliu on the shoulder, then picked up his sword and jumped down from the tree. When the other secret guards saw their Master finally coming down, they all secretly gave Liushiliu a thumbs up. Indeed, only those from the First Division had the courage to advise their Master.

When Xuan Ruiquan landed lightly on the ground, the secret guards clasped their fists and said, “Master.”

Xuan Ruiquan looked around and did not see Jian Qi’s figure. He looked at them and asked, “Where is Jian Qi?”

“Answering Master. Captain Jian Qi went to find our breakfast.” Liushiliu answered.

Xuan Ruiquan nodded and asked, “Liushiliu, how is your investigation going? Have you found the whereabouts of that woman named Liang Jiaying?”

Liushiliu took out a small box from his bag and said, “This is the secret message I stole from the group of assassins who brought that woman out of Yunshan Village.”

Xuan Ruiquan took the box from his hand and opened it. Seeing that there were many letters inside, he opened them one by one and read the contents. After putting the last letter back into the box, Xuan Ruiquan asked, “Where did you get these?”

Liushiliu replied, “This subordinate followed their traces and found them at a relay station near Qian Shan County. Before they left, this subordinate stole these letters when they were busy.”

Xuan Ruiquan handed the box back to Liushiliu and said, “Send this box back to the Dali Si. Have you found any information about that woman and those assassins?”

Liushiliu put away the box and said, “Those people are the assassins from Xue Lang Pavilion. However, their mission does not seem to be to protect that woman but to bring her back to their headquarters instead.”

Hearing this, Xuan Ruiquan raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, “Why do you think so?”

Liushiliu remembered what he had seen when he was lurking around the relay station and had accidentally seen what had happened to Liang Jiaying.

Thinking of the happy expressions of those assassins when they tortured Liang Jiaying with Bone Corroding powder, Liushiliu couldn’t help but feel that Captain Jian Si was a kind man. At least Jian Si didn’t torture their prisoners for no reason.

Seeing that Liushiliu didn’t answer, a shadow guard poked his back and whispered, “Brother, Master is still waiting for your answer.”

Liushiliu came back from his thoughts and said, “Master, when this subordinate was following them, I saw with my own eyes that they poisoned that woman with Bone Corroding powder. After a night of torture, that woman lost her tongue, her body was eroded, and she no longer resembled a human being. However, the assassins still brought her with them instead of killing her.”

“Judging from their actions, this subordinate guessed that it would be enough for them to bring the woman back alive. As for how to do it or what method to use, it doesn’t matter.” Liushiliu frowned and ended his report.

Listening to Liushiliu’s report, Xuan Ruiquan slowly rubbed the hilt of his sword and thought, ‘The events in this life are very different from those in the previous life. It seems that everything changed after I solved the plague in the north. Those changes I made before should have some impact on the future.’
