Chapter 1425: Wei Xiaobao Is Here
Editor: Atlas Studios
Nie Jinfeng looked at the empty courtyard. Her heart, which had experienced disappointment time and time again, was riddled with holes. It hurt so much that her entire body was trembling.
Elder Qiu’s expression turned solemn bit by bit.
“Why did you leave?”
Wei Liulang muttered, “Did the Wei family not greet you well?”
His first reaction was that Jiang Guanchao was uncomfortable living in the Wei family, so he left.
Coincidentally, Wei Xu returned from court.
Wei Liulang immediately said seriously, “Dad, did you fight with Alliance Master Jiang last night?”
Wei Xu coughed guiltily and straightened his back. “That was called a spar. Besides, he attacked first!”
Wei Liulang asked, “So you chased Alliance Master Jiang away?”
Wei Xu said seriously, “Of course not! Your grandmother is watching!”
Moreover, he clearly sensed that Jiang Guanchao’s martial arts had improved a lot. It would not be so easy for him to hurt him.
“This guy has been on the sea recently. He’s either taking care of Xiaobao or on the way to doing so. How can he have the time to practice martial arts? Did he encounter some good fortune?”
After Wei Xu finished muttering to himself, he suddenly reacted and looked at his son. “You said that Jiang Guanchao ran away?”
Wei Liulang pointed at the clean table. “Yes! He took all the luggage with him!”
Yun Shuang said, “Jiang Guanchao’s departure has nothing to do with the Wei family. He left the island on a mission and never planned to come to the Great Zhou. It was Xiaobao who couldn’t leave him… I didn’t know the way to the capital, so he sent us here.”
Wei Xiaobao being by his mother’s side was the best time for Jiang Guanchao to leave.
“Oh.”
Wei Liulang was relieved.
He looked at Nie Jinfeng, whose eyes were red, and comforted her. “Granny, don’t be sad. Perhaps he’s not your son?”
Nie Jinfeng, who was not comforted, was speechless.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at Yun Shuang. “Mother, did Alliance Master Jiang mention where he was going?”
Yun Shuang shook her head. “No, the Assassin Alliance’s ship left after sending us to the border of the Great Zhou. I don’t know where Qi Yao and the others went.”
Su Xiaoxiao continued, “Did Mother notice when he left?”
Yun Shuang shook her head again.
The Ghostfear suggested, “Why don’t we split up and search?”
After Jiang Guanchao left the Wei family, he went north out of the capital.
He guessed that the Wei family might look for him, so he specially chose a high-grade horse and passed several towns in a day.
In the evening, he found a courier station to stay.
Just as he was about to rest, a group of black-robed men also checked into the inn.
Jiang Guanchao heard their conversation.
They spoke Japanese and were all armed with ninja sabers.
It might be related to the Japanese assassins last night.
The Japanese assassins last night was clearly targeting the Wei family. The Wei family’s matters had nothing to do with him, so he couldn’t be bothered.
He undressed and lay down.
Just as he closed his eyes, he heard a baby’s cry.
He opened his eyes.
“Wuwa—Wuwa—”
The baby’s cry came from the direction of the Japanese assassins.
The eight or nine-month-old baby cried his heart out.
It was not Wei Xiaobao.
She didn’t cry easily. Ordinary people couldn’t withstand her cries.
He saved Wei Xiaobao because he owed Yun Shuang a favor. What did this child’s life and death have to do with him?
He was a killer.
Not a Bodhisattva.
“Let go of my children—you let go of my children—ah—”
The woman’s miserable cries echoed in the courtyard.
There were guards at the courier station.
The outcome was obvious. They were no match for the Japanese assassins.
“Woah—”
The child cried until he could not breathe.
Jiang Guanchao was distraught. He walked out with a cold expression and kicked open the other party’s door!
The few Japanese assassins looked at him.
The others instinctively asked in Japanese, “Who is it?”
Jiang Guanchao said coldly, “Let go of that child and get out of the courier station. I don’t have the patience to tangle with you. If you can understand, get lost. If you can’t, I can only kill you!”
Among them, there were people who understood the language of the Central Plains language. They translated it to their companions in Japanese.
His companions all revealed ferocious expressions and touched the ninja knives behind them.
Jiang Guanchao gave them a deathly stare.
Fifteen minutes later.
Jiang Guanchao stepped over the corpse under his feet expressionlessly and calmly left the room.
“Hero!”
The woman chased after him with the rescued child and kowtowed in a choked voice. “Thank you for saving my life!”
Jiang Guanchao said calmly, “I just find it noisy.”
The woman said gratefully, “Recently, a group of people came out of nowhere and focused on catching babies born in August. Many children in the neighboring village have gone missing. If I hadn’t met you today, I’m afraid…”
Jiang Guanchao stopped in his tracks. “Born in August?”
The woman nodded. “Yes, a few of the missing are children born in August.”
Suspicion flashed across Jiang Guanchao’s eyes.
Wei Xiaobao’s birthday was on August 29th.
Could it be that the Japanese assassin had sneaked into the residence last night to target the little fat girl?
“Abba-Abba.”
He felt he must have been possessed and actually heard the little fat girl’s voice.
Jiang Guanchao cleared his mind.
