Si Yifeng almost let a laugh from rage escape his lips. Of course, they are worried about their young master safety. They are worried if he is safely alive and if he is, they would ensure that he will be safely dead instead.
Ming Shu could feel the cold air being released behind her. Looking at Si Yifeng's hands that were unconsciously tightened the grip on the rein, Ming Shu concluded that the people in front of her are those who are looking for her Yifeng-ge. She lightly tapped the white hands that were cold and looked at the leader that addressed them.
"How can I tell if I saw him if I don't know who is your Young Master?"
The leader looked troubled with the question. What she said made sense but they couldn't tell her who are they looking to kill can they?
If it was a simple commoner, he could tell her and kill her after, but if they do that with her they will attract the wrath from the Li General and it would make this whole affair more complicated.
Ming Shu saw the tangled face and knew she had inferred right. This group wouldn't disclose who they were looking for lest they left a witness for their crime. Making an impatient face, Ming Shu addressed the leader.
"Since you don't want to tell me who he is, I am positive you can find him on your own. You will excuse me for now, good luck in your search gentlemen"
Controlling the horse, Ming Shu and Si Yifeng made their way through the group, which only silent let them pass.
They were about to pass the last man when Si Yifeng's arm was held. At the same time the last man held Si Yifeng's arm, he felt a cold sensation in his neck.
"What do you think you are doing with my guard?"
Ming Shu has her sword, which she won from her doting grandpa in the assailant's neck.
Her eyes were so cold that the guy involuntarily released Yifeng's arm and shuddered. This was not the eyes that should be present in a 12-year girl. The guy only saw this glare in those of his sect that had killed a lot.
"M-m-miss please forgive this lowly one impudence. He was just startled that your guard resembles the Young Master so much"
"Don't be funny. Why would your Young Master be my guard when you guys are here to protect him?"
"M-Miss is right, please forgive my mistake"
"Humph. Do you have questions left or may I leave?"
Ming Shu looked at the leader. He had two choices now either fight her and discover Yifeng or they would let them got to not burden their contractor.
"Sorry Miss you can go, but since you only have one Knight why don't you take one of us to escort you to your house?"
"I already have a guard"
"I am sure Miss wouldn't disagree that it's better to be safe than sorry in this deserted area. I would hate to hear the news of Miss accident"
'Tsk Cunning fox'
"... all right, I accept. The only condition is that your man doesn't stand too close to me. You guys are smelly and dirty and I don't want to transmit to me"
The leader gritted his teeth with the blunt disrespect but still complied.
"Lao Pin accompany the little Miss to the Ming Manor please"
"Yes, si- Sure Brother"
Without waiting for the man following them, Si Yifeng mad the horse race.
"Why did you let them follow us?"
"It would be too obvious if I declined such a generous offer. Don't worry, your cover won't be blown so easily"
"I hope you are right"
