C243 (2/2)
When the old ranger heard this, he looked conflicted.
In the end, under the persuasion of the young masters and the village head, the old ranger could only sigh and return to pack his things, preparing to lead the group into the mountains.
After lunch, a group of people entered the mountain.
There were only a few people entering the mountain. Other than Jiang Yixin, Guest Warrior Wang, and Young Master Huang, there were only the old ranger, Ye Qing and Jiang Changqiu, as well as 15 of Jiang Yixin's bodyguards who were leading the way.
Altogether, there were less than 30 people.
After all, there were no roads in the mountains, so it was inconvenient for too many people to move forward. Thus, a large portion of the people stayed in Black Wind Village.
Deep in the mountains, Jiang Changqiu, who was walking at the back of the group with Ye Qing, said with a frown, ”My lord, something is amiss. They obviously found the team leader, but why did they bring us along? ”
With his hands behind his back, Ye Qing relied on his cultivation at the late stage of the Yuan Meridian Stage to walk on the steep mountain path as if it was flat ground.
When he heard Jiang Changqiu's words, he shook his head and said, ”That Jiang Yixin never believed a word we've said from the beginning to the end.”
”Think about it. My accent isn't from the Xiangzhou area at all. Do you believe me when I call myself a local? Do you really think that girl is an idiot? ”
”As for the reason why she brought us into the mountain, it was because she wanted to monitor us closely. She was afraid that if we were to spread rumors outside, it would ruin their grand plans.”
Jiang Changqiu's face reddened when he heard this. He had not thought of this at all.
He thought that as the princess of Qiongzhou and not someone from the Tang Kingdom, Jiang Yisheng did not know the difference in accent, so he felt that there must be some conspiracy behind bringing them into the mountains.
