Chapter 1300: Chapter 1301: Doubts...

Meng Zhuqing then said: ”There are over forty bandits with tiny red flame shapes on the soles of their feet, they are undoubtedly Chilin people.”

Chilin people?!

An Jing and Xiao Changyi immediately exchanged a glance, with Changyi asking: ”Have you found out why they possess so many sharp swords and blades?”

This gang of bandits, each and every one, has a remarkably sharp weapon, not just one or two, but all of them, which is indeed a conundrum and truly strange.

Meng Zhuqing shook his head: ”My subordinates have searched their lair but found nothing amiss.”

After Meng Zhuqing left, An Jing said to Xiao Changyi: ”I don’t know how many people together killed those bandits, but it’s clear that those who did are formidable.”

But many bandits had only one wound, and it was a deadly injury dealt in a flash.

Seeing that Changyi was silent, with furrowed brows, An Jing asked: ”Husband, are you thinking about the possibility of a considerable number of Chilin people being among the bandits?”

”Mm,” he paused, ”Do you think these people have any connection with those two groups who attempted to assassinate us before?”

An Jing said: ”It’s possible there is, and there’s also a chance there isn’t.” After all, they had no evidence to prove these people were related to the two groups of assassins who previously targeted them.

Xiao Changyi understood the implications of her words.

An Jing continued: ”Regardless of any connection, the death of people who commit such evil acts is always good news.” It was more than just good news, it was immensely satisfying!

”However, Husband,” An Jing went on, ”Now that Xiyun and Chilin are at loggerheads, how can Chilin people still dare to create havoc in Xiyun? Have they snuck in, or have those people been in Xiyun all the while?”

Ever since Linghe’s betrayal, the Emperor of Xiyun demanded from the Emperor of Chilin that Linghe be extradited to face justice, and the Emperor of Chilin refused, the relationship between Xiyun and Chilin had been as fire and water, utterly incompatible.

Now, several Chilin people have suddenly appeared in Xiyun as bandits, which could escalate into a matter of great significance.

Xiao Changyi did not answer An Jing’s question, he only said: ”I now suspect that those two groups who attempted to assassinate us and these people are all sent by the Chilin Sect to Xiyun.”

It was no wonder Xiao Changyi had such suspicions, and An Jing harbored them as well.

To know that among the second group who tried to assassinate them before, there was also an assassin with a red flame shape on the sole of his foot.

Moreover, these bandits now appear so suspicious.

An Jing fell silent for a moment before saying: ”Chengyu mentioned last time that Chilin has been restless at the border with Xiyun; perhaps, we may truly go to war with Chilin soon.”

Not to mention those assassins and these bandits, the overt actions of Chilin alone, their wild ambitions, are clear for all to see. Chilin covets the ever-improving development of Xiyun and aims to annex it.

Xiao Changyi said: ”The strength of Chilin Kingdom is no longer what it was; their dream of annexing Xiyun is pure folly.”

An Jing said: ”Chilin must be coveting Xiyun, but also weary of it now.”

Among many countries, Chilin was once the strongest, but now, Xiyun is developing rapidly and clearly catching up, making Chilin truly worried about Xiyun.

Xiao Changyi said: ”Chengyu reported yesterday that plenty of soldiers have been dispatched to areas where Chilin might invade, and stationed there. Even if a war erupts, there shouldn’t be any major problems. You don’t need to worry so much.”

”Mm,” An Jing nodded her head. Then, with a smile, she said: ”If it really comes to it, worst case, we husband and wife will lead the troops into battle. United as one, our concerted effort can cut through Gold, and we will certainly defeat Chilin, sending them into a disgraceful retreat!”
