Xiao Naihe didn't reply. His purpose was to win the martial examination so as to settle those things and repay Yun Weixue's favor indirectly.
"The three envoys are gonna join in the contest. I guess something is going to happen later. But the more chaotic, the better, the chaos will do good to us."Qin'er couldn't help laughing.
All the contestants had to enter the hunting ground when the time came. Qin'er wouldn't enter it. Because on one hand, she was not offspring of an aristocratic family, on the other hand, she wasn't interested in this incident.
Yun Gongsheng and Yun Yonghuai couldn't enter the hunting ground either. The age limit for the martial examination was under thirty years old, and the former was too old for the contest. The latter had a very low cultivation base. Most of contestants were in the Earth Spirit Realm, and Yun Yonghuai, who was in the Occult Spirit Ream, would a drag on Yun family.
As the beat of a drum rang, contestants started to go into the hunting ground in succession. Nervousness took all of them, because the result of the martial contest would truly determine the destiny of those aristocratic families.
From the early days of the establishment of Dubhe Country, more than half of the aristocratic families had been managing the sites, businesses firms and mining camps which were allocated by the imperial court. They paid a certain amount of tax every year, and pocketed the rest of profits.
Once they lost in the martial contest, they would lose their industry interests, which explained why everyone was so nervous.
When people were entering the contest filed, Yecheng, Song Ruofei and Wang Jingguo disappeared.
So did some patriarchs of other families. But no one noticed their absence.
Wang Jingguo, Yecheng and Song Ruofei sneaked into the hunting ground together in accordance with the instructions.
"His Lordship commanded us to kill the three foreign bodyguards, and then transform into their appearances to assassinate the emperor!" Song Ruofei's tone was very cautious. Both killing foreign bodyguards and assassinating the emperor were very horrible ideas.
With a grave look, Ye Cheng said in a low voice, "Those three bodyguards are super fighters. We are also in the highest level of Sky Spirit Realm, but each of them is able to fight against the three of us. "
"That's right, so other masters of the aristocratic family which answer to His Lordship will come in as well. For one thing they will help us kill the three guards, for another they're going to execute the killing order and weed out all the backbone families, including Yun family." Song Ruofei was filled with anger, and his killing intent began to rise.
The resentment fetched in Ye Cheng's mind as well. Yun family murdered Ye Jinyan and Song Peng, and might have raped Ye Jinyan's immortal bamboo jade card.
"His Lordship also orders us not to harm Yun Weixue and send her out safely. This girl is the most difficult to handle with. It's a pity she is His Lordship's student."
Originally, both Ye Cheng and Song Ruofei wanted to get Yun Weixue's immortal bamboo jade card. But because of their lord's order, they had to give up. If they killed Yun Weixue and riled the lord, they could hardly survive.
"Now we don't know where the foreign guards are. Let's go about the work separately and fire off a signal flare to notify others when we find them!" Wang Jinguo, who had been silent, suddenly uttered.
Ye Cheng and Song Ruofei made eye contact and then nodded their head.
"Then I'll go to the east side. I'll see you later!"
After finishing his words, Wang Jingguo slipped into the forest and vanished from the view of Song Ruofei and Yecheng.
Wang Jingguo looked at a strange silver bell in his hand with a smile, "It seems that Fangfei has found Xiao Naihe. I must catch Xiao as soon as possible and force him to tell me where the jade card is."
Wang Jingguo ran like the wind.
At a fast pace, he sought out Wang Fangfei and his underlings by the silver bell in his hand in a short time.
Xiao Naihe was besieged by people led by Wang Fangfei soon after he entered the hunting ground. He didn't know the identity of those people until he saw Wang Jingguo, and then he immediately discerned the conspiracy.
"Well, there must be something shady about this martial contest. Maybe Si Qin'er is right." There was a scornful smile on Xiao Naihe's lips.
Even Wang Jingguo could enter the contest filed, which meant this martial examination was a camouflage.
The signs suggested that something was going to happen in this martial examination, and just like Qin'er said, it was a conspiracy to cause chaos.
