Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

Jia Xingtian's tone was extremely heavy, and then he suddenly widened his eyes and questioned the soldiers below.

"What do you guys do for a living?!"

Hearing Jia Xingtian's furious roar, the soldier's armor was already covered with cold sweat, and he lowered his head deeply and said repeatedly.

"Please calm down, Mr. Jia! The army has already sent people to search for information about Princess Yaoye!"

"Search with all your strength?" Upon hearing the soldier's words, Jia Xingtian slammed the armrest of the stone chair, stood up and shouted angrily: "The princess has been missing for a whole week and there is no news at all. Is this how you search with all your strength?!!"

"Asshole!!!"

Listening to Jia Xingtian's angry roar, the soldiers below trembled, but did not even dare to raise their heads.

Everyone in the Holy City of Gama knew how much Jia Xingtian loved his two great-granddaughters, and he was training the eldest princess Yaoye as the future royal heir.

And now, Yao Ye has suddenly disappeared for almost a week without any reason. All the troops have tried their best to search but have not been able to find any clues. How can Jia Xingtian not be anxious?

"call"

After venting his anger, Jia Xingtian covered his forehead and forced himself to calm down.

Calm down. Don't be anxious now, because it's useless to be anxious.

The most urgent task is to find Yao Ye's whereabouts as soon as possible. If Yao Ye really encountered an accident, Jia Xingtian, who is already old, might be so angry that he would lose half his life.

At this time, a guard came in and looked at Jia Xingtian respectfully.

"Mr. Jia! Someone wants to see you!"

"who is it?"

Jia Xingtian raised his eyebrows slightly, and the guard immediately reported.

"It's the princess's personal maid! She said she knows the princess's whereabouts!"

"Huh?!" Jia Xingtian's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately shouted, "Let her in!"

"Yes!"

The guard responded sternly, turned and left the room, and a maid walked in a moment later.

There was a calm look on his cold face. He knelt down in front of Jia Xingtian and spoke slowly with respect for him in his tone.

"My humble servant has met Master Jia."

"Don't go through all this nonsense!" Jia Xingtian suddenly waved his hands and asked anxiously, "Tell me! Where is the princess?!"

"Reporting to Jia Lao, His Highness Yao Ye concealed his identity a week ago and went to the Tagor Desert alone."

"Tagore Desert?"

Hearing the maid's answer, Jia Xingtian was suddenly stunned.

Why go to the Tagor Desert at night?

The moment this question popped up in Jia Xingtian's mind, he suddenly thought of something and his face became particularly ugly.

The snake people

"Damn it! How many times have I told her! Don't get involved in this!"

Jia Xingtian's shoulders were shaking and his chest was rising and falling.

How can a fighting master like you get involved in the affairs of the snake people? ! That is something that three generations of successors of the Jiama royal family have tried their best but failed to solve! ! !

The mastermind behind the slave business is the Yunlan Sect!

What's more, the territory of the snake people is full of dangers. What can a fighting master like you do if you run over there? !

How many times have I told you to wait for the right time! When the time is right, I will take action to deal with this matter! Why won’t this girl listen? ! !

Jia Xingtian cursed his troublesome great-granddaughter madly in his heart, then looked at the maid and questioned her coldly.

"Since you knew the whereabouts of the princess, why did you say you didn't know when I asked you before?!"

In order to train Yaoye, Jia Xingtian asked Yaoye to lead a group of troops personally and organized training for the soldiers every day.

Therefore, the soldiers noticed Yao Ye's disappearance the day after he disappeared, and they conducted a series of searches and inquiries, and Yao Ye's personal maid was naturally no exception.

But when asked before, the maid answered that she didn't know.

Now, Yao Ye's whereabouts were clearly reported.

Obviously, she had been hiding it on purpose before!

Knowing this, Jia Xingtian's anger continued to grow, and an invisible pressure rose up, causing the soldiers beside the maid's hearts to tremble constantly.

Jia Lao was really angry.

But the maid still had that indifferent look on her face, and she lowered her head and answered.

"The princess has instructed the servant to report her whereabouts to you if she has not sent back any news after a week of leaving. Before that, her whereabouts must be concealed as much as possible."

"Asshole!!!"

The armrest of the stone chair next to Jia Xingtian's hand shattered instantly, and the whole room was shaking slightly because of the fighting spirit he exuded. His anger had soared to its peak!

"As a personal maid, you actually followed the princess's nonsense. What crime should you be punished for?!"

That's the eldest princess! The future queen of the Gama royal family! Her safety is of utmost importance!

As Yao Ye's personal maid, she should have dissuaded Yao Ye from his willful behavior. At the very least, she should have reported everything she knew as soon as Yao Ye disappeared.

And this maid actually let the princess do whatever she wants!!!

"I know my crime." Facing Jia Xingtian's questioning, the maid did not make any excuses, but responded softly: "If His Highness Yaoye encounters an accident, I am willing to die to atone for my crime."

"Apologize, apologize! It's easy to say!"

Jia Xingtian stood up and strode down the stairs.

Yaoye is the future queen of the Jiama Empire! If something really happens, what can I do even if I kill you? !

"We'll deal with your matter later."

Jia Xingtian glanced coldly at the maid kneeling on the ground.

Now is not the time to hold people accountable.

The top priority is to ensure Yao Ye’s safety as soon as possible!

"Quick! Pass the order!" Jia Xingtian looked at the soldiers beside him and shouted, "Bring three armies or not! Bring five armies! Go to the snake tribe's territory in the Tagor Desert! Make sure the princess is safe!!!"

You know, the total number of Jia Ma Empire's military establishment is only ten armies! Jia Xingtian actually directly divided half of them for Yao Ye!

Yaoye is so important to the Gama royal family!

"Yes!!!"

The soldier did not dare to hesitate and responded immediately.

Just as I was about to get up, a powerful voice suddenly came from outside.

"Mr. Jia, you must not mobilize so many troops like this!"

"Ok?"

Jia Xingtian glanced sideways and saw an old man with a dignified face strode into the hall.

His identity made all the soldiers of the Gama Empire respect him.

The supreme commander of the Gama Empire’s army, Marshal Lionheart Nalan Jie!

Chapter 167 Doubt Cannot Be Abandoned

Jia Xingtian looked at Nalan Jie with a hint of impatience in his eyes.

"Why? Marshal, do you think the princess's safety is not worth my using half the army?"

When Jia Xingtian asked this, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

Why does it feel like Nalan Jie looks a little sad?

In response to Jia Xingtian's question, Nalan Jie spoke in a serious voice.

"The safety of the princess is of course very important, but the current situation has changed dramatically. The army must not be transferred to the Tagor Desert."

After saying that, Nalan Jie took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Jia Xingtian.

"Jia Lao, this is the news from the snake people received by the soldiers stationed in the Tagor Desert today."

Jia Xingtian raised his eyebrows slightly, reached out to take the report handed over by Nalan Jie, and read the contents with a frown.

"The leader of the Snake Tribe, Yue Mei, was labeled a traitor of the Snake Tribe and was killed by other leaders?"

Jia Xingtian stared blankly at the report in his hand.

Are these snake people leaders out of their minds?

Over the years, the Snake People have been able to barely maintain a balance with the Gama Empire by relying on the combat power of the eight tribal leaders and the Snake People Queen. Even so, the Gama Empire is still superior to the Snake People in overall strength. Therefore, the Snake People can only ensure the continuation of their race in the harsh environment deep in the Tagor Desert.

In other words, to the Snake People, it is not only the Snake People Queen that is important, the eight leaders are also indispensable. If any one is missing, it will be a huge blow to the Snake People!

And now these people actually executed one of them with their own hands? What on earth did Yue Mei do?

Jia Xingtian was filled with doubt and continued to look down, his brows furrowed even more tightly.

"Yue Mei protected Xiao Yan, the brother of Xiao Jing who massacred the Yakaqiu tribe?"

Jia Xingtian knew Xiao Ji's name.

Jia Xingtian knew everything that the Motie Mercenary Group had done in the Tagor Desert over the past six months.

Recently, Xingtian has even considered whether the royal family should secretly support the Motie Mercenary Group to assist her in eliminating the barriers between humans and snake people as much as possible.

The problem of the snake people was something his father wanted to solve when he took office, but it has been delayed until now for various reasons.

Now, a woman could actually gain the trust of the snake people who were full of hatred towards humans through her own efforts in just half a year. This was quite remarkable in Jia Xingtian's view.

However, the secret support was not implemented due to many considerations.

One of the reasons is that Xiao Ji's younger brother Xiao Yan is engaged to Yunlan Sect's young master Nalan Yanran, and it was Nalan Yanran who took the initiative to ask for marriage. This shows that the relationship between the two is very close.

Indeed, Nalan Yanran’s grandfather Nalan Jie is the Lionheart Marshal of the Jia Ma Empire. He has devoted all his efforts to protecting the Jia Ma Empire for so many years. Jia Xingtian would definitely not doubt him.

But his granddaughter, was another matter.

At least Jia Xingtian himself didn't know Nalan Yanran very well, so naturally he wouldn't trust her without any doubt.

Just because Nalan Jie won't go along with the Yunlan Sect doesn't mean Nalan Yanran won't.

Having sat on the throne for so many years, Jia Xingtian knew better than anyone that human hearts were something that even family members could not restrain.

Jia Xingtian has seen too many examples of people destroying their own families for the sake of their own careers.

After all, Nalan Jie and Nalan Yanran are two different people.

Even so, Nalan Yanran is Nalan Jie's granddaughter.

Even though Nalan Jie repeatedly assured him that his granddaughter would never go along with the Yunlan Sect, Jia Xingtian still couldn't let down his guard.

Today, the Yunlan Sect is growing stronger and stronger. With just one sect, its power has already threatened the Jiama Empire! How can Jia Xingtian not be on guard?

Jia Xingtian was disgusted by what the Yunlan Sect did behind his back, but he could do nothing about it.

If tough measures are really used to punish the Yunlan Sect, it is very likely to trigger an all-out war between the Jiama Empire and the Yunlan Sect.

By then, the Gama Empire may not only have to face the Yunlan Sect, but also the Snake People!

Therefore, for the sake of the country, the Jia Ma royal family can only maintain the current peaceful state on the surface, can only turn a blind eye to the dirty deeds of the Yun Lan Sect, and can only find ways to solve them in secret.

It was because of Nalan Yanran that Jia Xingtian could not trust Xiao Yan.

Because he couldn't trust Xiao Yan, Xing Tian couldn't fully trust Xiao Ji, which was why he couldn't decide to support him secretly.

But Jia Xingtian didn't want to miss such a rare opportunity.

If Xiao Ji is sincere, the opportunity to eliminate the barriers with the snake people is right before his eyes!

We had been planning to send someone to conduct a thorough investigation of the Motie Mercenary Group in the near future, but at this critical juncture the eldest princess disappeared.

"General Nalan." Jia Xingtian turned his eyes away from the report and looked at Nalan Jie, "What do you think about Xiao Yan's massacre of the snake people tribe?"

As for the human son of Dou Wang who came later, he was simply ignored by Jia Xingtian. He didn't even have a name and he was already dead. From the reports, it was unclear what role this human son played in this incident, so there was no point in discussing it.

Therefore, Jia Xingtian's focus was placed on Xiao Yan as written in the report.
