202 Extermination

She said in a coquettish voice, looking extremely unhappy.

After hearing her words, the two strong men felt that she was completely different from the person they were looking for.

Their young lady was soft and sweet, and her character was timid and kind. Although the lady in front of them wore delicate clothes, she did not act the same.

She was so ugly that her face was almost covered by a veil, but she still dared to boast shamelessly about their young lady.

“Many thanks, miss. Do you recall if there were any servants following her when you first met her?”

“There were no servants, and she looked very miserable. It’s obvious that she met mountain bandits or something. That day, she was near the post house and wanted to board a caravan to go to Yang City.

“But I heard from her that something happened to her near a small county. I can’t remember exactly where it was. After all, not everything is worth remembering. By the way, did you guys hear about it from that place?”

“We came from the North,” the man who had just asked the question said. “If I may ask, did my lady tell you what she planned to do in Yang City?”

“Why would she tell me about this kind of thing? Although she is delicate and weak, she must be very tough. Maybe she has gone back to Yang City to get reinforcements to suppress the bandits.”

The man’s expression changed, and without thanking Yue Jiaojiao, he dragged the other person to the door.

“The distance from Wangshan Town to Bei City is much further than that of Yang City. Since she’s returned to Yang City, should we send a message back immediately?”

“We still don’t know if what that woman said was true or false. If we rashly send a letter back and something goes wrong, both of us will be dead. Let’s go to the relay station to find out if that really happened. If what she said is true, we will immediately set off to Yang City tomorrow to confirm it.”

“The family head said that if we find her, we should bring her back to Bei City. When that time comes and we find her unwilling…”

“There’s a way if she’s unwilling. He only told us to bring her back, but he didn’t say how.

When the two of them were talking, Yue Jiaojiao shifted her feet and pretended to pass by them inadvertently. In reality, she had been listening to their conversation the whole time. However, they were being very cryptic with their words, and Yue Jiaojiao couldn’t tell what they were talking about even after listening for a long time.

Yue Jiaojiao watched the two of them leave, and before she could do anything, Zhao Zhan entered the inn, grabbed her wrist, and brought her into the room.

“I heard everything. They were talking by the door and didn’t notice me standing against the wall. I often listen to the movements of animals on the mountain, so I can listen to tiny details.”

Zhao Zhan repeated their conversation and looked at her with a serious expression.

“I have an idea. From here to Yang City, if we ride at top speed, we can reach there in two days.

“I will send you to the Heart Hall later, and then I will follow them to Yang City. I will come back after I find out the news there. The round trip will not take more than seven days.”

“You want to follow them? You’ll be discovered.” Yue Jiaojiao was worried. “You don’t even know your way around Yang City!”

“I won’t be discovered. I know their destination, so I’ll be ahead of them all the way. Even if there is anything, it will be them following me and not me following them.”
