Chapter 331: Chapter 47: Two Arrows Kill Cao Rong!
He stepped out of Luoshui County.
Jiang Ning quietly waited on a high slope, anticipating the arrival of a potential follower.
Less than a hundred ters from his side flowed the tumultuous Luoshui River.
This was the battlefield he had chosen, a battlefield with an escape route.
The water was his ho ground.
Ti passed slowly, mont by mont.
Jiang Ning had waited a long ti, and the sun gradually descended from overhead toward the west.
“Liu Linn didn’t co?” A flicker of surprise crossed Jiang Ning’s eyes.
“Could it be that the Fifth Grade strong person from that night, who followed and attacked , wasn’t acting on Liu Linn’s orders?” He stood on the slope, gazing toward Luoshui County and muttering to himself.
Since that night, after the assault by a Sixth Grade Martial Artist, who also had followed Liu Linn in daylight,
Jiang Ning had to be cautious of Liu Linn.
Even though Liu Linn had been quiet for many days, rely developing his Yellow Heaven Sect and spreading its doctrines outside the city,
Still, Jiang Ning dared not take him lightly.
To take lightly a Fifth Grade strong person who commanded Inner Breath and made even Hong Minghu extrely wary, could prove fatal at a given mont.
Therefore, after leaving the city today, Jiang Ning was extrely careful.
He was well aware that leaving the city was the best opportunity for his enemies to strike at him.
Thus, upon leaving the city, he imdiately selected a terrain advantageous for him.
Situated on a hillside with a clear field of vision, his sight allowed him to observe the surroundings well, and anyone approaching could hardly escape his eyes.
This terrain also suited his archery skills.
Close by, the undulating Luoshui River was positioned such that if sothing went amiss, he could jump into it imdiately.
Once in the water, his combat power would multiply significantly.
His ability to preserve his life was unmatched by anyone.
Using these advantages, he dared to wait here for the possible appearance of Liu Linn.
If Liu Linn showed up, he could also test the sharpness of the Fifth Grade Internal Strength Realm.
He wanted to see how big the gap was between himself and Liu Linn in the Fifth Grade Internal Strength Realm, and approximately what level his strength was at.
At this point, he no longer had a clear idea of the true level of his martial prowess.
With various unique thods enhancing him, the Martial Arts Realm was no longer sufficient to asure his strength.
After half an hour more,
Liu Linn’s figure still had not shown up.
“It seems my previous concerns were unnecessary; Liu Linn didn’t intend to act against . The person from God Worship Sect who attacked that night might not have been acting on Liu Linn’s orders!”
As this thought flashed through his mind, Jiang Ning turned and headed toward the official road.
According to what Feng Jiuge had said, Cao Rong was now leading a hundred cavalry straight toward Luoshui County via the official road.
In Jiang Ning’s view, it was undeniable that once Cao Rong arrived at Luoshui County, he would definitely seek him out.
After all, the Cao family’s current predicant was well-known in Luoshui County, as it had been caused by him leading a team.
The entire family, hundreds of people, were imprisoned precisely because of him. How could Cao Rong just let it go?
But Jiang Ning was not afraid even if Cao Rong ca with a hundred cavalry.
What he really feared was that Cao Rong would not play by the rules and instead of attacking him directly, would target his elder brother’s family.
Normally, one should not involve family in disputes.
However, Jiang Ning did not trust Cao Rong to adhere to this norm, given the role he had played in causing the Cao family’s downfall.
Under such circumstances, how could he expect Cao Rong to play by the rules?
In the next mont,
Jiang Ning continued along the official road’s path at a asured pace, conserving as much energy as possible.
Covering long distances on foot, even a warrior at the Inner Strength level couldn’t maintain it for long if exerting too much force.
…
Outside Dongling City
In the military camp,
“Vice Officer Jin, calculate the ti. Where should Deputy Captain Cao be by now?”
“Replying to the Capital Commandant, based on the daily bird ssages, Deputy Captain Cao should be less than a day’s journey from Luoshui County by now. If he marches through the night, he should reach Luoshui County by tomorrow morning.”
At that mont, the middle-aged man with a weathered face, sitting in the main seat with a majestic posture in the tent, suddenly stroked his chin.
“I hope Deputy Captain Cao can bring so trouble to Tiger Hong upon returning to Luoshui County.”
“That should be possible!” The slightly bowed vice officer continued: “Deputy Captain Cao has been promoted by the superior and has now reached the Sixth Grade. A Sixth Grade warrior in the small Luoshui County can indeed be considered a strong figure. Unless Hong Minghu himself actions, few people have the ability to confidently defeat Cao Rong.”
Hearing this, the middle-aged man with a large saber sitting promptly nodded slightly in agreent.
Because in his view, a Sixth Grade warrior, let alone in a small county like Luoshui County, even in a larger county, would be a skilled warrior.
Such a figure venturing into a small county could not only dominate but also stir up significant sequences and bring so trouble to the local Inspection Office, while also testing the attitude of the Inspection Office.
As part of the military of the Great Xia Country, holding military power, they were unwilling to see an institution capable of supervising them appear.
…
Canglang Martial Arts Hall.
“Commander He, what is this about?” Wang Jin looked at He Jinyun who suddenly barged into the martial arts hall, his face full of anger.
Facing the furious Wang Jin, He Jinyun gave a mocking smile.
“Master Wang, don’t be nervous; I’m not here to find you!”
“What is your purpose in coming to my Martial Arts Hall then? Speak plainly!” Wang Jin said.
He Jinyun chuckled: “No particular reason! It’s just out of respect for Master Wang, so I specifically ca to inform you that the cook in your Martial Arts Hall is a mber of the God Worship Sect, harboring the aura of the Evil God in her body, with a potential risk of aberration in the future!”
