Chapter 101 Unlucky Jia Xu (2/2)
Li Ru yelled at the disguised man, yet he did not say anything. However, he pointed at the table with his shaking finger, which had a scroll on it.
Li Ru grabbed the scroll and opened it, then a package made from pieces of clothes dropped down. He ignored the package and continued to read.
”Hey, you morons! Do you think you can kill me that easily? Nope! I'm gone, biatch! I'll be taking this baby with me. You can find yourself a new random baby to replace the prince!
By the way, I've poisoned the poor sod with my goo poison. The more he moves, the more the poison effect escalates. I also paralyzed him with a few random anesthesias I made. Be sure to feed him the antidote in the package or he will die before the sunset.”
The expression of Li Ru distorted. Crow's feet on the face of Li Ru extended all over his face as if he was over a hundred-year-old geezer. Veins and lines bulged and his face color turned from red to blue from anger.
”SEARCH!!! FIND THEM! NOW!”
”AS FOR THIS IDIOT, LET HIM DIE!!”
Li Ru screamed as he stomped out of the tent. His voice echoed the entire logistic camp and reached the main camp, which was located a kilometer away.
…
…
The culprit, Jia Xu, was dressing like a servant among a caravan. His face was painted with coal and vegetable oil, and he bent his back forward to look like he was an elder. Twenty percent of his hairs were already white, so he painted them into grey, so he would look like an elder.
He tricked the guard soldiers into drinking his poison, which they thought it was wine, and coaxed them into disguising as himself. Or else, they would die from poisoning. Eleven of the twelve soldiers died by his poison right away while the one remaining survived.
Jia Xu dressed the last survivor to look like himself and made a dummy prince in his arms. After which, he left a trolling message to satisfy his ego and snuck out of the camp by disguising as a guard soldier.
He managed to locate a caravan which was heading toward the yellow river. Then he disguised himself as a helpless old man with a grandson to hitch a ride.
As a result, he was taken in by the people on the back of the caravan.
Beside him at the moment, a young mother was breastfeeding two babies. One was her child while the other one was a child that came with Jia Xu.
Both of them were sitting in an open cart with many housewives and elders on board. These people were also a part of the caravan soldiers' family members.
”Such a cute little boy. How old is he?”
”He's probably a few months. I forgot when he was born.”
”Oh, where is his mother?”
”His parents are dead. They were killed by bandits. I picked him up to adopt him, but as you can see. I'm getting old.”
Jia Xu spoke in a weak voice as if he was so exhausted in life, which made everybody nearby looked at him in sympathy and pity.
”Then you should come with us!”
Jia Xu raised his eyebrows as he gazed to these people.
”Excuse me for asking, but where are you all going? I see that there are many soldiers escorting us and many supplies. It was unusual for a trading caravan.”
The people on the cart smiled. An elder woman who looked like she was the leader of this group answered his question.
”All the carriages and carts here are Zhang Ji's servants' family members. Lord Zhang Ji has been entrusted with a mission, so we have to go with them.”
Jia Xu opened his eyes wide in shock. He just escaped from Dong Zhuo Camp. However, he ran into one of Dong Zhuo Army's logistic groups afterward. He could not help but curse at his fate and luck.
'What rotten luck I have. What kind of karma did I do in my previous life to suffer like this? I want a place to live in peace, dammit!'
His brain worked in a high-speed the moment he understood his position. He continued to think and calculate while his mouth opened up and asked for more information.
”I see that we're crossing the Yellow River, but where are we heading?”
The elder woman smiled and answered.
”We're going to Julu City.”
