Chapter 39 Something Was Not Right

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

At night.

Ke Ruan asked a waiter to disguise as himself and stay in his room. Lin Qingye was not someone who could wait with patience. So if he decided to go and do something, he would go tonight instead of tomorrow night as he said. And Ke Ruan decided to follow him.

He disguised himself as a guard and stayed at the end of the team so he could follow up without letting Lin Qingye notice him at the same time.

At the foot of Qiao Mountain, Lin Qingye sent a few soldier to climb the mountain while others stayed here. To be honest, Ke Ruan was really nervous. According to the book, Lin Qingye died here. The book didn’t describe it in detail, but Ke Run assumed that it was because the bandits here were too fierce and malicious.

He didn’t know if he could save Lin Qingye.

Si Yuhan was hiding on a tree nearby in the dark. He could see Ke Ruan’s face clearly.

He didn’t understand why Ke Ruan insisted on following Lin Qingye no matter what. Lately, Lin Qingye was almost shadowed by Ke Ruan.

In no more than fifteen minutes, all those soldiers came back — in a whole new look. They were all a mess, with blood and mud on their faces, holding each other to keep balance.

Lin Qingye frowned and asked, “What’s going on?”

One of them clenched his teeth and said, ” General. The bandits were too sly. The whole mountain was covered with traps. We didn’t have a chance. ”

Lin Qingye was silent for a moment, then said, “Go get some proper treatment.”

“Yes! Your Highness.”

Seeing the general suddenly went silent, Ting Yi then said, “General, we need to give the matter further thought.”

“Go back.”

Ke Ruan relieved a little. He was being worried that Lin Qingye would just went up impulsively. After all, it was too late. He couldn’t even see those soldier clearly.

Ke Ruan came back to the inn before Lin Qingye, quickly changed his clothes and walked to Lin Qingye’s room.

“General Lin.”

Ke Ruan walked directly into the room, then saw Lin Qingye was sitting on the chair in his black robes. The flickering candle light added to his loneliness.

Hearing Ke Ruan’s voice, he got up and bowed, “Young Master.”

Ke Ruan took a step forward and gave him a hand. Lin Qingye suddenly straightened his body and said, “It’s late. Can I help you with anything?”

Ke Ruan took another step forward and sat on the chair, “Please sit down, General Lin. I have something to tell you.”

Lin Qingye sat down in the chair opposite.

Ke Ruan said, “General Lin, I’ve heard something from the commoners that those bandits are not as vicious as the county magistrate told us. They did rob from him. They did abduct pretty girls. But, oddly, the common people don’t hate them that much. Have you ever thought about why?”

Lin Qingye roared, “I don’t care why. They robbed from the government and abducted people’s daughter. Aren’t those enough? These crimes cannot be forgiven and they should be sentenced to death.”

Ke Ruan sighed. He was gathering information for days. The more he knew, the more he felt weird. It was common sense that people should be afraid and hateful to those bandits. But people here seemed to admire those bandits when talking about them. Ke Ruan did saw fear in their faces. But it was not the fear of the bandits, but the fear of telling the truth.

“General Lin, I know your personality. I know you hate them. But I have a strong feelings that this thing is much more complicated.”

Lin Qingye frowned and seemed pretty unsatisfied. He said, “You should just stay here and be safe. I can take care of those bandits.”
