C1057 Don't ask me for help when you have the ability

Yan Yuan replied softly. After muttering to himself for two seconds, he said: "I suspect that they are Second Brother's men."

"Second brother?"

Liu Ruo Qing frowned her eyebrows, "He's currently trapped in the overlying water, how could she have the mind to bother about us? Even if he wanted to kill us now, shouldn't she go and kill Sixth and Eighth Brother instead?"

Yan Yuan shook his head and said: "Sixth brother can think of taking advantage of the situation like this, second brother can think of doing so, so naturally second brother thinks of us, who are in the same situation, plus Sang Ji has escaped from Sang Luo, second brother can also guess that it was us. Once Sang Ji returns to the king's courtyard and takes Sang Luo down, it would also mean that there is hope for us to take advantage of the situation like the sixth brother, so second brother naturally wants to take advantage of this to kill us."

Sang Ji believed in them, but that did not mean he believed in Sixth and Eighth Brother. Therefore, if he died, even if Sang Ji managed to take back the King's Court, he might not agree to let the Easternum's soldiers into the Turtle City.

Even if Sang Ji agreed in the end, it would already be past the best time for battle. He thought, this was the reason why second brother did not hesitate to send hundreds of people to kill him.

Judging from the number of assassins tonight, second brother was obviously going to kill him.

Thinking about that, Yan Yuan laughed bitterly. Tian Clan's affection was thin, it was true that he was not wrong, but his brotherhood could not compare to how he felt about that position.

When you mentioned Sang Luo, I suddenly thought of the two dead and one injured Ye Protectors that Sang Ji mentioned earlier. The cultivation of Ye Protector was not low in Turkic, and with so many guards protecting them, they were actually so easily killed or heavily injured. Do you think they were Second Brother's men?

When Liu Ruo Qing said till here, her eyes lit up, "Maybe Second Brother and Sang Luo had teamed up a few months ago."

Second brother naturally knew that Sang Luo had been wanting to seize the Easternum's border all this time, and even wanted to invade the Central Plains. Thus, as long as he helped Sang Luo and the others with their sweat, it would naturally cut off the possibility of the Easternum's army making a detour and entering the Central Plains.

"I have thought about this guess of yours, so Sang Ji has to call for reinforcements to take back the Turkic King's Court as soon as possible."

"I hope so."

However, his biggest weakness was that he cared too much about his family. Back then, Sang Luo had tried to take his life several times, but after becoming a khan, he still managed to keep Sang Luo alive.

If he had been ruthless enough to kill Sang Luo back then, he wouldn't have faced such trouble today.

The next morning, the guards were already waiting for them outside the door. They packed their bags and set off for Yuzhou.

"Hey, hey, hey, wait, wait. Why did you leave in such a hurry? Why aren't you waiting for me?"

Just as they left the inn, the sound of the old man complaining came from behind them.

When they turned around, they saw that the old man had already been cleaned and dressed in a dark gray suit. His messy beard had already been tidied up.

He was clearly an old man, but his spirit was excellent. His face was red and the wind was blowing beneath his feet.

Talking about "wind under my feet" …

Liu Ruo Qing was surprised to find that the old man walked very quickly. Although he was running very fast, his lower body was extremely stable.

She suddenly remembered what he had said. If he hadn't been stabbed with a needle into his coccyx, how could he have been so easily taken away by the Turkic soldiers?

It was likely because the other party wasn't his match that he thought of a way to seal his martial arts.

"What's going on with all of you? Why did you leave so early in the morning and not wait for me? Do you want to leave me behind?"

Liu Ruo Qing was amused by the old man's bold and confident question. They had met by chance, and now that they had important matters to attend to, it was natural that they would not bring a stranger like him along.

"Senior …"

Liu Ruo Qing was about to say something, but she was snatched a step ahead of him. With a cold face, she faced the old man and said: "Senior, we originally saved you from the account of the Turtle Swamp, and that was already the best of kindness. Now, you can go wherever you want to go, we have things to take care of, we don't have time to greet you."

Although Yan Yuan called him senior, his tone was not polite.

The old man glanced at him and snorted: "I'm not following you but the girl."

He turned and said to Liu Ruo Qing: "Girl, just let me follow you. I promise I won't give you any trouble, I might even be able to help you."

"This …"

Liu Ruo Qing looked at the old man. Normally, she would be able to make the old man follow, which would only be a matter of more than one person per meal.

After thinking for a moment, Liu Ruo Qing said: "Senior, you saw what happened last night. There were assassins trying to kill us, you will be in danger if you follow us."

The old man didn't seem to care at all as he said, "They are here to kill you, not me. Why would I be in danger?"

As he said that, he narrowed his eyes and stared at Liu Ruo Qing. He said: "Girl, you don't want to bring me along, right?"

Liu Ruo Qing facepalmed, this was the first time she saw an old man who was so thick-skinned and yet so stubborn. To put it bluntly, they were strangers that had met by chance, so what if they didn't bring him along?

Yan Yuan was not as easy to talk about as Liu Ruo Qing, he directly said to the few hidden guards beside him: "Stop him."

After he finished, he pulled Liu Ruo Qing away.

Just as the guards were about to attack, they saw the old man's figure flash agilely. They did not even manage to touch the corner of his clothes, and by the time they had recovered, the old man was already right in front of Yan Yuan.

Such speed even stunned Yan Yuan for a moment.

The guards beside him were all the best in the entire camp. How fast was this old man that not even his guards could stop him.

The old man stood in front of him, he was a little shorter than him, and when he saw standing there with his hands on his waist, he said to him with a dissatisfied look: "Kid, you really make me unhappy!"

He raised his chin, and the white beard that was hanging down slightly shook. It looked really funny.

Liu Ruo Qing stood at the side and only smiled faintly but did not speak. Seeing the old man pointing at Yan Yuan, he continued: "If it wasn't for this girl, do you think I would want to follow you guys."

He looked at the impatience that slowly flowed out from Yan Yuan's eyes, and continued to speak: "Fine, you won't let me and I follow you, if you have the ability, don't think of begging me if you have anything else, even if you beg me I won't care about you, hmph!"

After saying that, he turned and left. After walking a few steps, he walked back unwillingly, pointed at Yan Yuan, and continued: "You will definitely beg me for something."

Yan Yuan frowned his eyebrows impatiently, his eyes showing a disapproving sneer, he looked at the old man and became even angrier, "I'm going."

After saying that, he left in a rage without even looking back.
