Chapter 717: Crazy People
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Moreover, such a thing had happened today, so he was naturally even more worried.
“Okay.” Xue Yan nodded again. He also felt that the possibility of such a thing happening was not high.
The greatest possibility was that someone had discovered Empress Shao’s presence and was here to kill her.
The second most likely possibility was to kill Empress Shao along with the Xue family.
The possibility of killing the villagers was really small.
However, it could not be ruled out that some people were just that crazy. Therefore, although this possibility was small, it could not be ruled out.
The main thing he could not guess was that someone had come to inquire about Sanfu and the military camp today. The wall had even been scraped down. It was obvious that someone had observed Empress Shao. What was the reason?
However, he had to admit that her words just now not only made him completely at ease, but also made his heart feel very at ease.
There was nothing to worry about for now.
If they wanted to fight, they would have to go through Jiang Yue first.
“Let’s go and take a look around the village.” Jiang Yue said. It was not enough to just look behind their house. They had to look around the village. It was almost impossible for them to hide in the village and keep an eye on their house, because it would make the spy easily discoverable. After all, it was an unfamiliar face.
“Sure.”
Even after leaving their house, Jiang Yue’s voice was still very soft. “We should write a letter to Shao Shuting later and ask about Sanfu’s situation in the military camp.”
Someone had actually come here to inquire about him and the military camp.
Xue Yan also thought it was weird, and while continuing to walk forward, he also said very softly, “After we finish writing, I will ask Xia Han to help us send the letter to Quanping Inn.” She would send it over at night.
“Yes.” Jiang Yue had no objections.
Xia Han and the others knew that she and Xue Yan were complicated children, and also knew that Jiang Yue was skilled, but like the Empress, she kept her mouth shut and didn’t make their family feel uneasy at all.
Moreover, Xia Han still had some skills. Xia Han had a sword, but usually because of her and Xue Yan’s request, she never took it out.
It was very appropriate to ask Xia Han to send it over on horseback at night.
After strolling around the village, they didn’t find anything strange. There shouldn’t be anyone watching their house at this point, so Jiang Yue and Xue
Yan decided to go home.
It was getting dark.
Some children in the village were happily kicking a ball in the middle of the village. The ball was blown up using a pig’s bladder and tied with a string.
The village chief had slaughtered a pig in the morning. Their grandfather, Xue Da, was even invited to eat the pig’s meat. Their family also went to buy some pork. It happened that the bladder was still intact, so they gave it to the children in the village to play with.
“Xue Yan! Xue Yan!” Xiulan’s grandson, Xiao Dou, kicked the ball out when he saw them. He immediately stopped playing with everyone and ran towards them.
“What’s wrong?” Xue Yan stopped and asked.
Jiang Yue also stopped.
Xiao Dou was a year younger than Xue Yan, so he immediately complained angrily, “Xue Yan, let me tell you, I met a big brother I’ve never seen before this afternoon. He lied to me and said that he would teach me how to spin a top, but in the end, he didn’t teach me anything. He only asked me a few questions and left. I was so angry that I couldn’t spin that top well anymore. When my father found out, he said that he would teach me tomorrow. I’ll be able to spin a top soon!”
Xiao Dou was happy again before he could finish his sentence.
Who was this man?
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan grasped the main point and looked at each other.
“Xiao Dou, what question did he ask you?” Xue Yan asked..
