Chapter 339: 339 is going to take action now Chapter 339: 339 is going to take action now However, Sikong Mo, who had been frightened by Ye Jiu and had decided not to associate with him any longer, was now sitting in his study, holding a slip of paper and silently chuckling.
Ye Jiu still cared about him in his heart after all, otherwise, he wouldn’t have made a special effort to have medicine sent to him, and even included instructions on how to take it. It’s just that the handwriting was almost too atrocious to look at!
The outbreaks of Poisonous Insect Poison on his body were infrequent, and Qing Li said that after the Poisonous Insect lost its toxins, it would enter a weakened state and need some time to recover. Therefore, the time until the next outbreak would only be longer.
So for a short time, these medicines were unnecessary.
At dusk, Head Escort Lu came back with his men, all of them visibly excited, and then handed over Ye Jiu’s original investment.
One could tell just by looking that these men had made a hefty profit.
Yet, Ye Jiu was not satisfied.
Ye Jiu’s actions were intended to give some benefits to Head Escort Lu’s men, but Head Escort Lu had allowed Dongzi and his group to also take advantage.
If silver coins could quell their sordid thoughts, then so be it, but the greed evident in the eyes of a few had clearly intensified, which elicited a cold laugh from Ye Jiu.
Indeed, the human heart is not so easily satisfied.
And with some people, the more they are given, the more it fuels the greed in their hearts.
At the crack of dawn the next day, Ye Jiu’s team set off, and at the same time, Sikong Mo also received news of her departure.
However, Sikong Mo had no intention of leaving immediately. His physical condition was one reason, but there were also matters within the Royal Residence that needed to be addressed.
Lest some people get too overbearing and forget their status, always dwelling on thoughts they should not have!
In just two short days, the ceramics at Huirong Hall lay shattered on the ground once more.
Sikong Yun’s face twisted as she threw down the last vase from the Multitreasure Pavilion, her eyes filled with hate as she looked into the distance.
Very good, truly worthy of being her good son.
Did he think that by eliminating her operatives in the Royal Residence he could control her?
Such a fantasy, Sikong Yun’s eyes wildly flickered with her unabashed hatred.
She wouldn’t kill him just yet; she wanted to make him suffer as she had, slowly destroying everything of his, to let him taste the bitterness of a fate worse than death!
Wasn’t the honor of the Royal Residence what he valued most?
She was determined to make him watch as the glory of the Royal Residence crumbled before him, utterly powerless to stop it!
Thinking of that fool, Prince Two, indeed he was a splendid pawn.
Although Nanchang’s civil strife temporarily prevented them from waging war with Dongyue, it was fine, everyone knew the chaos in Nanchang would not last long. Without supplies, she was curious to see how that wretch would maintain the unassailable glory of the War Prince Residence.
Within the forest, a group was hastening along.
As the sky gradually darkened, Head Escort Lu rode his horse a few steps faster to the side of the carriage where Ye Jiu sat and asked, “Young Master, it’s getting late, and there are neither villages nor market towns ahead of us; I’m afraid we’ll have to camp in the woods tonight.”
Ye Jiu pulled the curtain back on the carriage, looked at the dark night outside, and said, “It’s alright, Head Escort Lu knows more about traveling than we do. You just proceed as you see fit.”
“In that case, Lu will take the liberty,” said Head Escort Lu, straightening up and signaling for a halt, “Everyone off horses, set up a fire and go hunting; we’ll rest here tonight.”
“Yes,” came the uniform response.
Meanwhile, through the curtains of the carriage, Ye Jiu could see the malice in the eyes of Dongzi and a few others.
Ye Jiu had a premonition in his heart that these men probably wouldn’t be able to hold back much longer, but that was just as well. If they dared to make a move, he could deal with them all at once, saving him the trouble of having to be on guard against them the entire way.
