Chapter 512 - 512 513 Too Ordinary_1

Chapter 512: Chapter 513: Too Ordinary_1 Chapter 512: Chapter 513: Too Ordinary_1 Yu Ze pointed to the signboard and asked, “Is this the imperial gift of the Golden Plaque?”

Muniang nodded, “It seems so.”

Then she whispered softly, “The Emperor’s handwriting isn’t as good-looking as yours.”

Yu Ze curled his lips, about to speak, when the gate of Rong Mansion opened. A servant was seen escorting a man in plain clothes out. From his attire, he seemed unremarkable, and because he left in a different direction, Yu Ze still observed his side profile, which was nothing special, just an ordinary face that one could easily forget in a crowd.

Since the man was only seen off by a servant, it appeared he wasn’t an important figure. Neither his clothing nor the attitude of Rong Mansion towards him seemed out of the ordinary.

Yet Yu Ze’s gaze deepened slightly, fixating on the man’s departing figure for quite some time.

Muniang blinked, “What are you looking at?”

“That person just now is from Qilian Kingdom.”

“What?”

“I saw the tattoo on the back of his hand. That’s a tattoo that only a man from Qin Village would have. It’s a unique village in Qilian Kingdom where men live only for the battlefield. As such, each person is born with the character for ‘war’ tattooed on them. He has obvious sword calluses on his hands, he must have been handling a sword for years, and that face, it’s too plain, it’s fake.”

Yu Ze calmly relayed all this while Muniang listened, dumbfounded, “How do you know about that village?”

“I’ve fought wars with Qilian Kingdom for ten years, couldn’t I have learned a little something about them?”

Muniang glanced at Rong Mansion, her mind suddenly at a loss, “But that man came out of Rong Mansion; could he have some connection with them?”

Yu Ze’s eyes darkened, “I’m afraid it’s Qilian Kingdom that might have a connection with Rong Mansion.”

“Then why don’t you follow him and find out?”

Yu Ze shook his head, “The men from that village are extremely loyal to their homeland. Their usual approach when facing enemies is to kill, and if they can’t kill, they kill themselves. You can’t get anything out of him, and you’d only be alarming the enemy.”

Muniang paused, as she had never seen Yu Ze on the battlefield, nor had she ever realized his thoughts could be so meticulous. All these strategies seemed to come to him with startling clarity and ease.

Suddenly, Yu Ze smiled and looked at Muniang, “What, suddenly admiring your husband?”

Muniang turned her head away, feigning ignorance, “Admire you for what?”

Yu Ze chuckled and pinched her chin to turn her face back toward him, “When the opportunity arises, I’ll take you to the borderlands and show you more interesting things.”

Muniang’s eyes lit up, but then she remembered her not-so-good experience during the last visit to the borderlands, and she complained, “I don’t want to go. What’s so fun about that? There was nothing enjoyable about the last time.”

Not only was she worried about Yu Ze’s injuries, but she also had to deal with that bitch He Suxue!

Yu Ze pinched Muniang’s cheek, “Last time was my fault. Are you still angry? Next time I bring you along, it will definitely be to see something fun, be good.”

Muniang then huffed lightly and pulled Yu Ze away.

But after only a few steps, Yu Ze suddenly halted. Muniang asked, “What’s the matter?”

Yu Ze continued walking calmly, simply grasping Muniang’s hand a bit tighter, “Someone who doesn’t know any better has set their sights on us.”

Muniang’s heart tightened, “Could it be that person you saw just now? Did he notice us, and for precaution, he sent someone to silence us?”

Yu Ze snorted, “If that person is so stupid as to be in such a state, he doesn’t deserve to claim he is from Qin Village.”

Muniang was taken aback, “What do you mean?”

“Just look behind.”

Muniang immediately turned her head, only to see several figures hastily hiding to the side.

Muniang was embarrassed; their skill in trailing someone was truly unmatched.

“It is quite stupid.”

Yu Ze pulled Muniang into a nearby alley and said, “Let me teach them a lesson first.”

Seeing Muniang and Yu Ze enter the secluded alley, the figures were overjoyed, thinking their opportunity had come, and quickly followed.

But as soon as they entered, they found Yu Ze leisurely waiting for them, as if enjoying the sight.

The one leading was Wanshan. He clenched the stick in his hand and gestured to the men behind him, saying, “Take them down for me!”

Because Rong Liming knew that Muniang was skilled, this time he did not send those useless servants from before, but rather guards from the mansion, each with some ability.

Rong Liming only wanted to beat up Yu Ze to vent his anger, so naturally, he didn’t allow them to bring knives, but just sticks, which could cause excruciating pain if they hit the body.

With Wanshan’s order given, these men naturally wouldn’t defy it. They immediately grabbed their sticks and charged forward.

Yu Ze didn’t move an inch, serene like a living Buddha, which made the assailants’ hearts waver. This man showed no reaction at all, which was unsettling.

However, since they had already charged out, there was no reason to back down. Even though they were fearful, they had to press on. Maybe he was just pretending to be calm. After all, there were many of them, and they were all trained fighters. What was there to be scared of?

Thinking this, they all steeled their resolve to teach Yu Ze a harsh lesson.

But before they could even get close to the hem of Yu Ze’s robe, Yu Ze threw a palm strike, and the whole group was sent flying. Some of those who were at the forefront even suffered internal bleeding from the impact.

Wanshan was thrown several meters away by the Inner Strength, instantly dumbfounded. The young master hadn’t told him this man was so formidable!

Yu Ze casually walked up to him and said indifferently, “Who sent you?”

Wanshan naturally wouldn’t divulge anything, as Rong Liming was a man who cared greatly about his face. If this clandestine act of beating someone was exposed, Rong Liming’s reputation would be greatly damaged. Keeping tight-lipped was the most basic rule, and Wanshan was well aware of it.

Wanshan simply clenched his teeth and said, “What do you mean who sent me? Nobody sent me; I came here on my own accord.”

Yu Ze bent down and pulled off a Waist Badge from his body, “Rong Mansion’s men? Rong Liming?”

Wanshan’s face turned green, his neck stiff as he insisted, “It’s none of our young master’s business. I came by myself!”

Yu Ze couldn’t be bothered to entertain him and tossed the badge back at him, “Today was a lesson. Go back and tell your master that if he dares to target me again, or covets something he shouldn’t, my next move won’t be so light.”

With that, he ignored Wanshan and casually walked away with Muniang. Wanshan trembled with anger, but even more prevalent was fear. How skilled must this man be to handle them all so effortlessly? Had he actually made a move? They couldn’t have even touched the hem of his robe! Wanshan was filled with regret, wishing he had never taken this job. Now, with his injuries, he would still get a scolding from the young master upon returning!
