24 Flawless (1/2)
”So, you are saying that the men from the sacred order ate together with her?” Xia Jiang was shocked and his face darkened after hearing the report from his spies.
” Yes master.” a man in black answered as he broke out into a cold sweat. Never in his life did he see someone so ruthless as his master towards their own children.
Xia Jiang thought for a while as he never could have imagined that they are on such close terms with each other. He felt that he need to change his plans.
” Draw back, no need to follow them anymore. It's not good to spy on them with the sacred order around them. I'm afraid that they noticed our presence already.”
” For now I will let them be and not disturb them if they mind their own business without disturbing Xia family.” Xia Jiang spoke coldly.
” Yes, master” all the guards replied in unison.
” Leave” After hearing Xia Jiang's orders all the men left the room in an instant.
Just as Xia Jiang predicted, Jun Moyin and Ah Jin noticed the presence of spies around them as soon as they reached Wu Gong's house.
On their way back Jun Moyin's face was replaced with a serious expression ” Ah Jin it seems that I made a good decision by visiting them. That Xia Jiang sure is arrogant. Nevertheless he will not make a move because now he will be convinced that we are serious in protecting them.”
”Yes, young lord. Now he will know his place.” Ah Jin replied coldly.Jun Moyin nodded and both of them rode towards their mansion.
Next day in the military camp:
All the men were standing in the tent with stiffened expressions on their faces.
A young man sat opposite of them while studying all the reports with a serious expression on his face.
Though the young lad before them was only 19 years old all the experienced soldiers around him could not help but break out into a cold sweat.
