Only the dead wouldn’t speak and spill secrets!
They were loyal to their master, but not if their master wanted them dead. For a mont, so of them wavered, and so even had thoughts of rebelling.
When the leader saw this, he shouted angrily at Jiang Zhennan, “Jiang Zhennan, don’t you try to sow discord here! If master really wanted to silence us, he wouldn’t have rewarded us with ten thousand taels of gold. That’s contradictory!” Then, he turned around and shouted angrily at those people, “Don’t be incited by him. He just wants to make a chink in our minds. Don’t fall for his trick!”
After he finished shouting at his subordinates, he then said angrily to Jiang Zhennan, “Jiang Zhennan, you’re really asking for it. I was planning to keep your corpse intact at first, but you lost your chance. After all, we only need your head. As for your body, I’m sure it’ll feed plenty of wildlife.”
After that, he raised the big knife and aid it at Jiang Zhennan’s neck.
Jiang Zhennan had lost all energy he had. His entire body was numb. He was bleeding all over his body, and he couldn’t do anything. He knew that he was about to die. However, he was calm.
Many people say that one would reflect on one’s life before dying. Jiang Zhennan was cursed as the ultimate jinx from the mont he was born. This seed fitting for his life.
His mories fluttered around his mind like scattering flowers. Then, he thought of Liefeng. He missed and worried about his partner the most. If Liefeng had only taken him, he would have escaped safely. However, Jiang Zhennan couldn’t leave behind his brothers, the people who always had his back. So he had Liefeng leave first. He wondered if Liefeng was safe. He hoped that it wasn’t captured.
Liefeng was a very clever horse. Everyone in the capital knew that. Many people wanted to get their hands on Liefeng. Jiang Zhennan was worried that Liefeng would be found by that person. Then, Liefeng would be subdued or killed. The chance of the latter being higher.
His blurry eyes were staring at the gaps between the leaves. Through the gaps, the intense sunlight shone on the ground in a cylindrical shape.
He suddenly thought of the young woman he had t once. They were not very far from where they t. It was just the mountain next to this one.
Jiang Zhennan laughed bitterly in his heart. He didn’t think that the young woman would be featured in his mind before he died.
The young woman was the only person who was not afraid of him. She’d call him masked uncle, be angry and even smile at him. In his short life, she was the only person who treated him as a normal person and communicated with him as a friend. That was the first ti he had experienced the joy and pleasure of having friends.
But now, he was about to die.
He would never have the chance to see that smart and adorable young woman again.
The sharp tip of the knife touched Jiang Zhennan’s throat. Jiang Zhennan also closed his eyes, waiting for his head to be separated from his body.
At this mont, a series of tapping sounds entered everyone’s ears. Everyone there knew martial arts. They could tell from the sound that it ca from the hooves of a horse.
The leader imdiately stopped what he was doing. He frowned. ‘Is there soone else in this wild forest with us?’
The sound ca closer to where they were.
Even if they killed Jiang Zhennan and his n now, they couldn’t imdiately destroy the corpses to get rid of the evidence within the short ti fra. The n’s military gear would reveal their identity.
Therefore, they would have to kill this person who was wandering over with the house. That was the only way!
