The Story Of Dusk 123 Suicide Mission

Xiao Jun brought Liu Wei and three chosen guards with him while twelve another guards were protecting them from the shadow.

The twelve guards were Xiao Jun's personal body guards that he trained himself, their movement was as light as feather and their martial arts were the top among their fellow, Xiao Jun taught them himself.

In the other hand, Qianru was riding a horse beside Xiao Jun, she didn't have difficulty to ride her own horse as Xiao Jun had taught her this technique since they were still young.

To think about this again, almost everything that Qianru had learnt was taught by Xiao Jun one of the advantages of playing with him and Xiao Tianyao back then.

Qianru glance at the man beside her, his imposing image and sometime unpredictable mind were something that never changed from him, the thing that drew her attention toward him.

She didn't know what they were going to do right now or what would happen, but she trusted him with all of her heart since this was the path that she had chosen.

Because Qianru wasn't allowed to talk, so for one hour of the journey she didn't utter a word and only focused on the road ahead.

As she now realized they were going south, this was the direction between Azura Kingdom and Rockstone Kingdom.

But, what were they going to do? Did Xiao Jun wanted to cross the border and went to Azura?

Qianru startled when Xiao Jun suddenly raised his hand, gesturing them to stop. She pulled the rein and urged her horse to stop.

The neighing horses echoed through the night as the six of them and another twelve guards stopped on the spot.

Qianru tilted her head and looked at her surroundings, they were currently in the empty road with dense of trees area was a few meter away on her left and precipice on her right.

Xiao Jun got off from his horse, seeing this, Liu Wei and the three guards also did the same, so did Qianru with puzzled expression, she was standing right behind Xiao Jun while holding the rein.

A while later, there was five people emerged from the dark among the trees, they were wearing red robe with straw hats covered their faces, no sword hung on their waist.

The five of them strolled across the empty road and stopped three meters away from Xiao Jun's entourage, despite armless they didn't look simple either.

A man with tall and bulkier body took a step forward that Qianru a.s.sumed was the leader of that small group.

"Prince Xiao." That man remarked, slightly nodding his head to show some respect, but not respectful enough to kneel before the Prince.

"Leader Ju Long." Xiao Jun made the same remark before he pulled out a small pouch from his sleeves and threw it at the man named Ju Long.

Out of reflect, Ju Long caught it, but frowned when the pouch already in his hand. "Are you insulting me by giving me money?" He scoffed, weighing the pouch and deepened his frown.

However, the things inside didn't feel like money…

"You should know that isn't money like you thought." Xiao Jun saw his slightly confused expression when he weighed it.

Ju Long didn't pose another questions, instead, he opened the pouch and put it upside down that caused the three items from inside rested motionlessly on his palm.

It was silver token that belonged to those military higher ranks.

"Yuwen Lui, Yu Aotian, Chu Xifeng." Ju Long read the names from the token in his hand. "These people are from Azura Military force." He frowned.

Azura Military Force was different from The Black Sword Clan military, the former was under the Emperor of Azura's command while the later was under Elder Dam.

Therefore whatever action that they took, all of that must pa.s.s Xiao Zi's approval.

"Yes they are." Xiao Jun nodded.

He had put all of his effort to afford those tokens during these past weeks he wasn't with Qianru, aside from intercepting all the messengers from Rockstone to Zodasian and the otherwise.

These tokens were part of his plan.

"What are you going to do with this?" Ju Long put back the three tokens inside the pouch while looking at Xiao Jun, puzzled.

"Gave those tokens to Mo Qian Yuan's spy, make they a.s.sume that Azura has something to do with Zodasian's attack at the Frozen River." Xiao Jun said calmly. His figure, which basked under the moonlight, was almost like a deity.

Only one thing that was off from him, which was the fact that he was planning for a bloodshed battle.

Ju Long scoffed in disbelief. "You know what is mean if I give this tokens to the Emperor of Rockstone Kingdom's spy?"

"Do you think I will make a plan without knowing every detail?" Xiao Jun replied his question with another question.

Of course he had calculated all of that.

If Mo Qian Yuan knew the involvement of Azura's military force with the incident against Zodasian Kingdom at the border, he would have thought all of this as a scheme from Azura and reconsider his declaration of war to Zodasian.

However, in the other hand, Xiao Jun would be put in dangerous situation where his head would be at stake as he was someone from Azura and also has Military power on his disposal.

Even if it was only a suspicion, Mo Qian Yuan wouldn't be playing nice to deal with him, moreover Xiao Jun was in his territory. It would be easy to deal with this Prince if Xiao Zi made a move to attack them first.

Not to mention Azura's Emperor was indeed very eager to kill Xiao Jun, and Mo Qian Yuan wouldn't hold back to eliminate him.

Had he gone crazy to actually give Mo Qian Yuan a tool to diminish him?

"You are crazy…" Ju Long shook his head in disbelief. "I will not do this." He threw back the pouch to Xiao Jun as he intended to walk away from this stupid meeting.

"You promised my master to do whatever I ask you to do." Xiao Jun stared at Ju Long's back as he gestured to the other four people to withdraw with him too.

In this empty road, Xiao Jun's voice rung clearly without a trace of fear when he reveal his plan that could cause his downfall.

"And I promised Ye Xiu to keep your head intact!" Ju Long blurted out angrily, he never thought that Ye Xiu's disciple could be so stupid. "Think again about your plan carefully!"

"Do you think I will make a suicide mission here? Just do what I said and the rest will go as I have planned." Xiao Jun was really determined to run this risky plan.

"Then tell me what you will do?!" Ju Long glared at Xiao Jun, he stomped forward until they stood head to head.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

"You don't need to know that. Just do what I said." Xiao Jun didn't even raise his voice, but Ju Long had a feeling that this Prince wouldn't change his mind, no matter what he would say.

In the end, he gave a long sigh. "I don't know why Ye Xiu praised you as a genius when you are not!" He snorted. "Fine. I will do it. Actually I don't care, whether you died or not, if it wasn't Ye Xiu who ask me I will never do this stupid mission, but because you are insist, you will shoulder the consequences on your own. I am done with you after this."

Ju Long s.n.a.t.c.hed the pouch in Xiao Jun's hand roughly before he turned around and led his small group to go from this empty road.

If it wasn't for his debt to Ye Xiu, for the fact that old man had saved his life, he wouldn't want to be involved in this power struggled.

"Only an advice." Suddenly Ju Long stopped and turned his back to face Xiao Jun again. "It's not wise to bring a woman in the middle of the night like this." Ju Long rested his curious eyes at the pretty boy behind Xiao Jun, who he had been trying to hide.

Qianru who was standing behind Xiao Jun startled and didn't know what to say, she lowered her gazed and remained motionlessly.

"Thank you for your advice." Xiao Jun replied calmly as he turned around and smiled at Qianru. "Let's go." He said and helped her to get on the horse, there was no need for pretense because the other party had known it.

As expected his plan to disguise Qianru as a man failed miserably.
