Chapter 26: Outsmarting smartness
Its night time and we are at the enemy base right now
The scene here is quite a happy and joyous one and no one could say that these soldiers will be putting their life on the line in tomorrow's battle
"Soldier, after tomorrows battle, let's go home okay!!!" a man, probably general, said to his soldiers making sure that his soldiers moral are up
But they all don't know that they are not the only one who is in this plain dry land
There are various shadows that are approaching them while staying low and all of them had worn black clothes around them making it harder to notice them
Who are they?
They are '5 Shadows'
"You brought the herbs?"
"yes, I have"
"Assassin team, be on your guard and make sure that those who are left alive are dead, especially their general"
"Don't worry"
"We will attack at midnight. For now, all team shall stay flat on the ground"
Mao Xue and XuHai are the only ones that have come in this attack, as the rest are in their places maintaining things
Behind them are 100 men and females in the team. All of them have crossbows swords with the, as for assassins/females, they have poisons and daggers
The herb they are talking about is a special type of herb that is used to make people fall asleep when burned or used in liquid items when crushed
At midnight, when the night is full and various men have fallen asleep
Mao Xue and Xuhai begin their attack
They first burned the herb a little so it won't attract any attention and then waved the smoke into the enemy direction
"ouaaaa… why am I feeling so sleepy" a guard/soldier on duty said as he looked at the sky
Soon, he and many other people started falling asleep
"Let's go" Mao Xue said to his men and then begins the show of blood
At Hao Tai's mansion-
*knock-Knock*
*knock-Knock*
*knock-Knock*
Someone is really trying hard to break the door or trying bets to wake the person inside the room wake up
"Little brother… Little brother…" Hao Tai called HaoJiazhi as she kept on knocking on the door
Finally, Hao Jiazhi opened the door and asked the reason for this late-night visit but to his surprise, Hao Tai is not alone but she also has a female soldier by her side
"Bai Hong came straight from the border and she told me that a fight broke in the enemy army and a few men's killed the whole army
Was it you who did this?" Hao Tai asked Hao Jiazhi
Hao Jiazhi gave a smile and said "Nope, how can I? I was sleeping all day here.
But, now that the enemy is done… this province is safe"
Bai Hong didn't smile at this as she could clearly tell from Hao Jiazhi's expression that it was him
It's not like she is angry at him but rather she wants to know why he doesn't want to take credit for it
"Little brother, if you are the one behind that attack then I am really thankful for helping me but this could make things really difficult as the Liaohua Kingdom won't tolerate it
Hao Jiazhi gave smile and said "Sister, I told you didn't I…
I am not the one behind that attack
I did nothing, but now that this problem is done… I hope you could help me in something (referring to his deal)"
Hao Tai didn't push her words on him anymore and said "Ok, let's talk in the morning then… Sorry for disturbing you"
Hao Tai bid her words and was about to leave when HaoJiazhi said something to her
He said "Big sister, let me give you a piece of advice… Don't believe in people around you as there are not many who are really loyal to you… Good night"
His sudden word made Hao Tai all confused but soon she and Bai Hong understood what he meant, only pure stupid people won't understand
The reason for this sudden advice is due to the keen senses of Hao Jiazhi
In the past few days, he had noticed some change in servants face, as new people came to work here in place of someone else and these new people are taking some good amount of interest in him
Especially when he is sending his eagle and crow away
. . .
At the Dongping Kingdom-
"A letter from my friend him..." Lu Long said as he looks at a scroll
He opens it and then gives a wide smile
"What happened, my lord? something good?" His attendant, XuYijun, asked as he puts a cup of tea on the table
With a smile, Lu Long said, "4th prince wants to establish his business relationship with me and needs help in opening his own store in the capital city.
I should help him, right?"
"yes, my lord" Xi Yijun said with a smile
Lu Long is fighting with his brother for the throne of this kingdom.
Though there are only 2 heirs, still both of them excel in their own field and both of them are giving each other a hard fight. Both of them have the highest chances of getting the throne
So, if Lu Long is able to somehow subdue HaoJiazhi the son of Song Xia, the women who hold the economy of Tengyuan Kingdom
Then, his chance of getting the throne will become 100%, as he will be bringing a golden parrot to his kingdom
Or that's what he thinks as he is laughing like an idiot villain
After all, it's not just him who knows that he knows what the other one not knows
In truth, both of them know about each other
(Damn I am getting confused now)
Lu Long thinks that he can outsmart the smartness of Hao Jiazhi as he knows his true self but in truth, Hao Jiazhi has long outsmarted his out smartness with his great smartness
(Now my brain is shutting down due to this out smartness)
How did Hao Jiazhi outsmarted Lu Long before they confront each other?
Know it in the next chapter

Chapter 27: All scared
Province Kuwon, Governor's Office-
Chen Hu is a middle-aged man and has a happy family, one wife, and one son.
Also, he is the governor of the province
Chen Hu right now is in his office, was reading some documents about the province when someone suddenly came and told him what happened last night
After hearing everything, Chen Hu sends the servant back to his work and sits on his seat
"Idiots!!!! Can't even do a simple job" Chen Hu said as he smashes his palm on the table
He then took a long breath and calmed himself down
Then he starts thinking about something while thinking he said "That 4th prince is really something… But who were those people he called?
Seems like it will take some time till Emperor Jin Zhi will take this kingdom"
Chen Hu calmed himself and then took a brush, ink, and paper. Then he started writing something on it and then gave it to someone
Nighttime-
Chen Hu is on his chariot, going back to his house
After some time he reaches his house, a mansion, and then goes inside his room
"Honey, I am here…" Chen Hu said as he takes his robe off but he got no response
"Where are you??? Chen Bao (Son, 5 years old)????" he calls out his family but no one responded
"The hell!!!" Chen Hu shouts as he enters his bedroom and saw everything here and there
Chen Hu is now fully sure that something wrong has happened and made his steps towards the guards outside his house
"YOU IDIOTS!!! Where are my wife and Son???!!!" Chen Hu shouts at his guards
The guards smiled and said "What are you saying, my lord? We were always here, nothing is wrong"
Seeing the smile of his guards, Chen Hu became furious and wanted to beat the shit out of him but suddenly he noticed something
"Who are you?" Chen Hu asked as he noticed that the person who is his guard is not the one he had hired
He looked around and then noticed that all the guards, even coachmen (chariot) everyone is different.
"Who are you all???" Chen Hu asked as he steps backward
Fear is all over his face
The guards around him smiled and then turned away from him, and go back to their position
Without facing him, one of the guards said "Don't worry, your wife and your son are with us. They are all right but… if you do something, you know what could happen
Be a good boy and just go back to your room. We will tell you what to do, later on, Go Back, people are staring at us"
Chen Hu became all scared and gulped his dry saliva
He looked at the guards and then nodded, he is in no position to make a deal here so he just did what he was told
Next day-
Chen Hu noticed that the guards he saw last night are no longer there and the old guards are back to their positions
He doesn't know what is going on
At first, he thought it was a dream as his room was also back to its normal condition but when he didn't find his wife and son and got a letter. He knew it that things are really worst right now
In the letter, it said that if he had sent any type of reports about the 4th prince is being sent to anyone, then call it back right now or else…
Chen Hu didn't waste any time and just went straight to his office and called the same man who took the letter yesterday
He pulled out as much as money possible to bring back the letter and then made a fake report and sent it back, after all, he has to say something to emperor Jin Zhi (Emperor of Liaohua)
The day ended and he is back to his home where he has no one waiting for him
He sits in a corner in his bedroom and started crying. He kept on calling his wife and son's name but no one answered his call
And so the night passes
The next day, he again gets a letter saying that he should send his guards away and make sure that no one is at home
He immediately announces a holiday and sends all of his servants home
And in the next moment, an attack on him took place, making him unconscious
After some time-
��Wooow, horses are really strong"
Chen Hu heard some noises and opens his eyes, it was all blurry but still, he could see some figures and soon his blurry vision got clear
And there he saw a very familiar face, 4th Prince Hao Jiazhi
Hao Jiazhi smiled at Chen Hu and asked "Awake?"
Chen Hu wanted to speak something but couldn't do so as inside his mouth is clothes, making him unable to make any type of voice
The area he is in right now seems to be stable as there are only horses around the place
In front is, Hao Jiazhi who throws away as smashed pumpkin in front of the horse and then puts down a watermelon and asked the horsemen/trainer to smash the watermelon (by horse)
The horse easily smashed the whole watermelon into pieces
Hao Jiazhi smiled and asked the horsemen "his legs are really strong, but can it break things that are much harder than watermelon?"
The trained nodded and then Hoa Jiazhi waved his hand, and then 2 men appeared dragging a man towards the horse
Chen Hu clearly remembers the man's face that is being dragged; it is his spy that was sent to Hao Tai's mansion to keep an eye on her and Hao Jiazhi
Soon he looks around and finds out that there are 5 more people who are being tied and kept in one place, all of them are his spy
The man that has been dragged to the horse had his mouth covered with a piece of cloth, so he couldn't speak anything and his hands were also tied
The man's head was put down in front of horse legs, the man tried to scream and free himself but nothing happened
Hao Jiazhi grabbed the head of that man in one place and told the trainer to do the job, the trainer smiled and then commanded his horses to smash what is in front of him
*splash*
Blood spilled everywhere and the man became all still. He is dead
Then, Hao Jiazhi looked at a female and said "Bring that bitch, she was always behind me making me really angry all the time"
His servants followed the command and brought her in front of the horse
*splash*
And again, blood spilled everywhere and someone died again
This scene kept on continuing, till no one was left and to Chen Hu, who is seeing all this, is all scared and pissed himself
It was a nightmare to him in the daytime
