The Hunted Hunter
Chapter 88. The Heart of King Yan Xi
The commander who was the leader of the troops in charge of guarding the gate immediately saluted the general and immediately inquired about the situation.
"There were three young warriors who were around 19 or 20 years old who had committed a massacre against the Yun noble family. And they're trying to leave this town." Said the general.
"Has anyone just left this town?." Ask the general.
"There's generals! But that person was the commander of Liang Kun and also his ten subordinate soldiers who were going back to the village they guarded with supplies as they were normally under." Said the commander.
"Is nothing suspicious?." Ask the General.
"According to the servant's observation, there is nothing suspicious of the general." Said the commander.
"Well if it's like that. But we still have to catch up and have to check on them." Said the general while ordering the gate to come out and chase after Liang Kun's entourage.
About forty minutes had passed, four soldiers whose armor was worn by Ma Guang's group immediately welcomed Ma Guang's group.
They quickly reused their own armor and returned to travel.
While Ma Guang and three other people immediately rushed from the place while carrying bags containing gold coins loot.
"It is fortunate that we have been trained hard when the formation of the quality of our bones. Otherwise, my body would have fallen out from carrying this bag of gold coins." Xia Jiao.
Yuan Jiali immediately smiled and nodded her head in response to Xia Jiao's statement.
While Ma Guang and Su Tian were carrying each of the four bags containing gold coins.
Twenty minutes later, Liang Kun's entourage finally heard the rumbling sound of horse legs running towards them from behind.
Liang Kun and his entourage immediately stopped and stared at the group.
After the group approached, Liang Kun finally recognized the leader of the riding party.
After already being near, Liang Kun immediately saluted the general.
The general saw and counted the number of Liang Kun's entourage was still the same according to what the gate guard commander said.
"Commander Liang Kun! Looks like you are in a hurry to get back to the village! What made you so quick to return to the village?." Ask the general.
"I'm sorry general! The servant wanted to return to the village immediately so that we would have enough time to rest. For they will also take the place of the duty of guarding the other soldiers." Liang Kun replied.
"Do you know what just happened in the city?." Ask the general.
"Hamba doesn't know the general! If I can figure it out, what exactly has happened?." Ask the commander.
"There are three young warriors who have committed a massacre in the Yun noble family!." Said the general.
"What's!? How could that possibly happen? Who would dare to do that?." Said Liang Kun with his face that showed great shock.
"Where should there be an order from the general to the servant?." Asked Liang Kun who was in a respectful position.
"Anyone under the age of 23 and under should be detained and do not let them leave the village you are guarding." Said the general.
"Hamba is ready to carry out his orders!." Liang Kun.
Finally the general's entourage returned to Ji city.
While Ma Guang and three others continued walking in the forest not far from the main road and they also heard what the general and Liang Kun were talking about.
The four soldiers immediately went into the forest to help bring the bag of gold coins that were under by the two girls as well as some that were under by Ma Guang and also Su Tian.
After a few hours later when they were close to entering the village. The whole bag of gold was put in the wagon.
While Ma Guang and three other people entered the village by jumping over the village guardrail and immediately returned to the inn they occupied.
Their looted gold coins were directly below out of the village and awaiting the arrival of Ma Guang's entourage to retrieve them.
Morning has arrived.
An uproar occurred in the royal capital of Yan. Because the four families that became the pillars of the kingdom had been destroyed just overnight.
The king of the Yan kingdom was furious with what had happened.
He ordered to temporarily close the royal capital and directly inspect the entire area in the royal capital.
This incident made the king of Yan Xi very devastated, he said, this was due to the political situation that occurred in the imperial capital of Zhou which made some nobles who controlled several cities had established themselves as kings. And also the movement of the Chu kingdom and also the Qin kingdom that began to invade several small cities adjacent to their respective territories.
While the Qi kingdom itself was cleanly tense with the nobility of Lai, namely Gong Furou who had established himself as the king of the Lai kingdom.
The Qi Kingdom had yet to take any military action against Lai as the Chu kingdom itself was waiting for the right momentum to invade the territory of the Qi kingdom.
While the Yan kingdom itself is very careful with the movement of Zhongshan and Dai who are in the western part of the Yan kingdom.
So the destruction of the four pillars of the Yan kingdom was very influential for the Yan kingdom.
After a few days of inspecting the entire place that was in the royal capital of Yan. Finally they stopped the activity, because they did not get what was in accordance with the king of Yan expected.
"Are the three young men demons or demons? So you can't find him?." The king spoke with great fury to all the high-ranking officials present in the royal palace hall of Yan.
"Not even Your Majesty! Are we supposed to convey this to the Qi kingdom! So that they can crack down on the young warrior?." Say one of his ministers.
"Are you not thinking about the political situation that is happening in the imperial capital? Do you want to trigger a war with the Qi kingdom? The Yellow Bamboo Sect was one power that became the power of the Qi kingdom. And that was the reason the Chu kingdom did not attack the Qi kingdom. Not to mention they had strategists in battle. Do you think the Qi kingdom will grant our request? It's like we're taking a suicide step." Said the king Yan Xi.
"So what should we do, your majesty?." Ask one of the great generals.
"We will hire great warriors from the Wuzhong region, Guzhu and also from the Xiongnu tribe and warriors from Gojoseon who want to get paid to kill Ma Guang and his group." Said the king Yan Xi.
King Yan Xi immediately ordered one of the small generals to look for warriors who would be willing to pay to kill Ma Guang and his group.
While Ma Guang and his entourage have now come out of the territory of the Yan kingdom with the loot that was escorted directly by the commander Liang Kun.
Their journey was a bit of an obstacle when they were in Guanping city, but all of that could be overcome by Liang Kun. Ma Guang and four others were undercover to avoid being identified by security forces in Guanping.
