Chapter 983: You Guys Can Go Home, There’s No Need for So Many People

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Ye Siming rode a horse and led his two elite troops to shuttle through the rain along the mountain path with the city patrols and their troops.

The horses’ hooves splashed across the puddles, the rain fluttered, and the mountain was misty.

The city patrols first brought Ye Siming to a higher peak in the mountains.

The soldiers got off their horses. The place was very dark like cold dark clouds.

The rainy wind blew over, and Ye Siming’s robe fluttered. Under his jade headgear, the youth’s eyes were calm.

Like a wolf, he examined the continuous mountain range under his feet with a cold gaze.

“Marquis, this is the place where we first discovered traces of suspicious people.” The city patrol pointed at a short forest on the opposite side of the mountain.

“They are dressed like ordinary woodcutters, farmers, and hunters, but they don’t have the corresponding equipment on them.”

Woodcutters didn’t take hoes, farmers didn’t plow the fields, and hunters didn’t have much equipment.

It was as if he was just wearing a simple set of clothes.

“These people can only blame themselves for not meeting each other. Every time, they would come to the vicinity alone and only take a walk before leaving. Moreover, there are such people on all three sides of the capital.

“Their similarities are that their identities are suspicious, like they’re deliberately pretending, but they didn’t do anything at all.”

After the city patrol finished speaking, he asked, “Marquis, what are your plans? If the enemy doesn’t move, should we not move either? Or should we wait for an opportunity?”

Ye Siming suddenly raised his eyebrows.

Due to the city patrol’s words, he thought of Gu Nuo’er.

Previously, when he was playing chess with her, the little thing said, “If the enemy doesn’t move, I won’t move either!”

At that time, Ye Siming couldn’t help but sneer.

However, after he took the initiative to attack…

The white chess pieces under the child also launched a fierce attack.

Gu Nuo’er looked up with her fair face and muttered, “If the enemy moves, I’ll move erratically!”

He thought of her black and lively eyes flickering with a dexterous light.

There was also the anger she showed when the white pieces were surrounded on the chessboard.

Ye Siming couldn’t help but smile.

He wondered if the child had woken up yet.

He had to hurry up and go back.

The city patrols at the side were stunned.

Why was the marquis smiling…

He heard that when Marquis Yongye smiled, it meant that he wanted to kill…

The city patrols trembled and waited for his order.

Ye Siming retracted his gaze and turned to gesture to Qin Song and the other soldiers.

“Catch them alive.”

Qin Song and the soldiers immediately shouted deafeningly, “Yes!”

There were more than 30 soldiers in the two troops.

They actually didn’t need Ye Siming to deploy them. They consciously split into groups of five and there were a total of six elite teams.

Qin Song instructed, “Move to the north, south, east, and west. The remaining two teams will be in charge of scouting the enemies.”

Then, they got on their horses and split up.

The city patrols couldn’t help but ask, “Marquis, your men has set off. Is there anything we can help with?”

Ye Siming turned and threw a glance at him. “You guys can go back. There’s no need for so many people.”

The head of the city patrols was really stunned this time around.

Marquis Yongye sounded too confident.

There were multiple occasions on the mountain in the suburb where people with such strange behavior were found.

They must be planning something big!

Moreover, it was in such a big mountain which was convenient for hiding.

Was Marquis Yongye not afraid of being ambushed?

The city patrol laughed dryly. “His Majesty has ordered this subordinate to assist the marquis. How can we leave early?”

“In this subordinate’s opinion, we should stay behind and protect the marquis’s safety.”

Ye Siming raised his eyebrows, looking unruly. “You guys are going to protect me?”

The city patrol nodded awkwardly.

If he were to leave just like that, His Majesty would punish him for neglecting his duty!

Ye Siming looked at him for a moment and sneered. “Up to you.”

The youth looked at the dense forest again, his thin and long eyes filled with an unconcealable coldness.

He was good at catching people, especially in the mountains. This was simply Ye Siming’s home ground.
