Chapter 557: Cautious
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Shao Shuting’s scalp went numb when he saw the two little devils looking at him calmly. ‘This young man…’
Xue Wufu couldn’t keep it a secret at all, so Xue Sifu and the others also looked over.
Shao Shuting wanted to smack his forehead.
Shiye tried his best to keep a straight face. ‘I can’t laugh. I shouldn’t laugh.’ These were the soldiers that the general had his eyes on. It seemed that the general’s vision was getting worse.
Xue Wufu thought he was already very restrained because he didn’t ask Shao Shuting anything until they went to Xue Dagui’s house. It wasn’t until Shao Shuting entered his room that he couldn’t hold back anymore and asked anxiously, “Okay, I can’t take it anymore. What’s the matter? Sanfu and I are both here now. Tell us quickly, I need to know!”
This made Shao Shuting doubt his own judgment of people.
However, Xue Wufu was really full of energy. He had been making ice the whole day and riding horses in the evening, but he was still so excited to know.
Shao Shuting felt that he should take Xue Wufu away.
Then, Shao Shuting glanced at Shiye.
As Shiye listened to Xue Dagui’s thunderous snores, he took out a token from his chest and raised it in front of Xue Wufu and Xue Sanfu.
“What is this?” Xue Wufu immediately took it and looked at it over and over again.
Shiye didnt expect Xue Wufu to take it at all. He only showed it to the two of them, so he let Xue Wufu succeed just like that. Shiye was starting to doubt his life choices…
“Sanfu, do you know what this is?” Xue Wufu had no idea that Shiye was looking at him with a complicated gaze, doubting his life. He only saw that he couldn’t understand the sign, so he asked his tall and mighty Sanfu, who was next to him.
Xue Sanfu only gave him a cold glance before shaking his head, indicating that he didnt know either.
Realizing that they had never seen this before and were illiterate, Shiye said, “The words southern army are written on it. This is the token of the southern army.”
Hearing this, Xue Sanfu’s pupils slightly shrank.
He used to work hard in the town and had heard about the southern army. “I heard that all of them are tough and unyielding.”
Xue Wufu had never heard of the southern army, so he didn’t know what to say. He immediately said, “The southern army? What southern army? Why do you have the southern army token?”
Shao Shuting and Shiye were not surprised by his reaction knowing that Wufu had limited knowledge.
However, from Xue Sanfu’s reaction, they could tell that he knew.
Shao Shuting and Shiye were very satisfied with Xue Sanfu.
“The southern army is the two hundred thousand strong army that guards the
South of Da Ling,” Shiye replied. “My master is the general of the southern Army and is in charge of these troops.”
Xue Wufu was so scared that he immediately knelt down. He didn’t know about other things, but he had heard of the great general. In any case, he knew that he was an extremely high official.
Xue Sanfu grabbed the back of Wufu’s collar and lifted him up, not letting him kneel. His face was expressionless, and his eyes were ablaze. He fearlessly looked at Shao Shuting and said indifferently, “We didn’t recognize this token, so we can’t just do whatever you say.”
Even though he felt that the possibility of Shao Shuting and Shiye lying was very small, after all, Shao Shuting looked like he came from a prestigious and influential family, and even had people in the county government, it was still better to be cautious.
Shao Shuting was even more satisfied with the reaction. This person could not control his temper at times, but he was not entirely brainless.
“That’s true!” Xue Wufu felt that it was very reasonable and immediately had confidence again. He was even worried that Shao Shuting and Shiye were lying to him.. “Sanfu, I’ll go find Xue Yan! He is literate and knows a lot of things!’
