Chapter 303 – A Person from the Flaming Horn Tribe (2/2)

“Third young master, are they from the Flaming Horn tribe?” asked the slave named “Chi Shi.”

“Yes, they are my allies and I asked them to accompany me for this trip,” said Su Gu.

Shao Xuan found that Su Gu spoke to Chi Shi in a gentler way. Compared to the attitude Su Gu had while speaking with Wu Shi, his attitude at the moment was quite different.

But it was understandable. Chi Shi, being the slave of the Lord, was superior to Wu Shi.

“Well, I hope you three can stay away from the spring pool,” said Chi Shi indifferently. His tone showed that there would be no room for manoeuvring.

“Why?” asked Su Gu. He knew that other people were barred from entering the spring pool area, but what Chi Shi said was strange. *Did something happen, that I still don’t know about?*

Chi Shi didn’t answer him but kept staring at Shao Xuan and the other two defensively.

“Alright, we’ll go to the room over there and take some rest.” Shao Xuan didn’t wait there, taking Lei and Tuo, and walked towards the resting place that Su Gu showed to him before.

Shao Xuan waited for a while in the sand house, and then a visibly angry Su Gu came by. It seemed like the conversation between Su Gu and the Head slave was not pleasant.

“What’s the matter?” asked Shao Xuan.

“N-No…it’s nothing.” stuttered Su Gu.

“Third young master, since we are allies now, I hope you can share with us some of the important discussions,” said Shao Xuan.

“Well…I know that, of course….” nodded Su Gu.

“So, third young master, I want to ask, why is that Head slave so guarded against us?”

When Su Gu was about to answer him, Shao Xuan stopped him and said, “Don’t tell me he is like that with all the tribes. The way he looked at us just now, made me feel that he was only taking precautions against our Flaming Horn tribe.”

The Head slave named Chi Shi extremely emphasized the words “the Flaming Horn tribe” just now. It was obvious that there was something related to the Flaming Horn tribe which happened, but the three people didn’t know.

Su Gu thought about it, he asked Wu Shi to go outside and guard the door, and then said to Shao Xuan, “Some assassins hid in the palace water supply team’s water supply container and caused some trouble.”

Su Gu didn’t talk more about that, but Shao Xuan got the gist of it. He asked, “So that Head slave thinks we have some relationship with the assassins?”

Su Gu nodded.

“But only three people of the Flaming Horn tribe came to your city. All the other tribes can attest to that,” said Shao Xuan.

“I didn’t say it was you. If they were sure that you three were involved in the assassination attempt, you would have been immediately arrested by the slaves,” explained Su Gu.

“Then what’s the reason?” asked Shao Xuan.

“It is because of a person who is related to your Flaming Horn tribe. According to the rules of your tribe, he probably isn’t a member of the Flaming Horn tribe any more, but the slave masters and the slaves still think you are all from the same group. ”

“Who is it?” asked Shao Xuan.
