Light Dance Jiajing
Chapter 38 Rebellion
Ah Jin still showed some hesitation, and asked: "Who is your young master?"
The old man smiled but did not answer. He thought to himself that if you knew the identity of Meng'er, you probably also knew who Zaiji was. However, few people knew his identity as the young master of the Holy Church. How could you, an outsider who had not yet joined the army, tell you? Seeing that he did not answer, Ah Jin knew that he did not trust him, so he did not ask any more questions. After burning incense, they walked out tacitly.
Zaiji may have been tired of playing in Hangzhou, and he was going to Suzhou again in two days. Naturally, he took Meng'er and Zaihou with him. Meng'er was coerced. Fortunately, Ajin and Alai were loyal enough and did not abandon her and run away. But even if they followed, the difference in strength was too great compared to Zaiji. Meng'er had been thinking hard, but she couldn't think of a way to get out. She still didn't understand why Zaiji had nothing to do every day and took them around the world. What was he trying to do? Was he just to hold her back? She thought it wasn't the case, but Zaiji didn't tell her the reason, and she couldn't run away. Seeing time passing day by day, Meng'er couldn't help but become more and more anxious.
Meng'er had taken Zaihou to Suzhou for a few days, but they left in a hurry because they were in a hurry to go to the next place. Meng'er said with regret that she would come back to have a good look around when she had time in the future. She didn't expect to come back so soon. However, it was also a trip with Zaiji, but she felt uncomfortable. The mountains didn't look like mountains, the water didn't look like water, and the local specialties were tasteless. Meng'er hid her emotions at first, but gradually she couldn't keep her composure. She was anxious because she still had to take Zaihou to Miaojiang. Looking at Ajin and Alai, the two of them seemed very tired after eating and playing with her. Meng'er wondered if they didn't leave just to get free food and drinks.
At night, Ah Jin and the old man stood opposite each other. The old man still smiled and asked, "Have you thought it through?"
Ah Jin sneered, "You think you can recruit me with just a few words? Look at me, I'm just a three-year-old child. Even if I'm a good bird, I still have to choose the right tree to roost in."
The old man understood the implication of his words, that is, he was not determined to serve Meng'er wholeheartedly, it only depends on whether you have the ability to subdue him, the old man laughed and said: "You two are from outside the Great Wall, you came here as a escort, and you traveled in the Central Plains after you finished your job." Ah Jin's pupils shrank when he heard it, the old man continued: "You were just hired by that girl to do errands halfway, haha, am I right or not?" Ah Jin was silent, this time he came out as a escort, he and A Lai concealed their real names, and used the names of A Lai and A Jin, they had only been in the Central Plains for a short time, they didn't expect that the fat and fair-skinned old man in front of them would dig out their details, but fortunately they made careful arrangements before coming out, so he was not afraid of anything.
The old man waited patiently to see Ajin's reaction. He was becoming more and more satisfied with the young man in front of him, because Ajin was only slightly stunned when he heard his identity was revealed, and then there was no fluctuation on his face. It was not easy for such a young man to suppress his emotions so well. Now the Holy Church is in need of people. He found out that these two people came from outside and often took on some business of escorting merchants and occasionally took on work from the escort agency. The old man especially felt that they were not from the Central Plains and had fewer complicated relationships, which was very beneficial to the cause of the Holy Church, so he was thinking more and more about how to recruit them for his own use.
Ah Jin did not deny it and said, "Yes, we were hired temporarily by that girl."
The old man asked, "Did she hire anyone else?"
Ah Jin knew that this would be exposed sooner or later, so he simply admitted generously: "No, it was just the two of us."
The old man asked again: "Do you know where she is going?"
Ah Jin thought that this group of people could find out his whereabouts. How old was this little girl, and with a younger brother, it would be even more difficult for her to escape their control. Ah Jin didn't know much in the first place, and judging from the momentum of this group of people, the little girl's words were probably untrue. He didn't need the old man to ask him one by one, so he simply confessed: "She said she wanted to take her younger brother to detoxify, and said that your young master was her brother, and that her stepmother couldn't tolerate them and poisoned her younger brother. I don't know the rest."
The old man nodded slightly after listening to this. The princess who ran away secretly, and brought the third prince with her, naturally would not reveal her identity to outsiders, and she did not hide the poisoning. This means that she trusts them quite a lot. Ah Jin's confession made the old man very satisfied, but he was not ready to reveal too much to Ah Jin. He only said: "That girl must have paid a lot of money to hire you. If you are willing to continue to follow her, it's up to you. Don't worry, my young master is just using that girl for fun, he won't kill them, you can continue to travel with us."
When Jin returned to the room, Alessong said in a low voice, "I'm relieved that my eldest brother is back. Why did that old man come to you again? That group of people are very strange. I don't think he has good intentions."
Ah Jin said, "You can see that they are strange. I also wonder what they are doing. I originally thought they were some underworld gang, but later I felt that it was not the case. No gang needs to be sneaky all the time. Wherever this old man goes, he always disappears for a day or so. And that young master, besides looking for trouble with that girl, do you think he has anything else to do?"
Alai's expression tensed and he asked, "Could it be aimed at us?"
Ah Jin shook his head and said firmly, "No, we might as well wait and see. Don't act rashly. They will show their suspicion sooner or later."
Alai said: "Our people have been scattered around. I have left a mark for Tuobu, asking them not to come looking for us. What should we do next?"
Ah Jin said, "Let them disperse. This old man is not easy to deal with. He can detect any disturbance. Now he just regards us as ordinary warriors. This is good. Don't make trouble."
The following days seemed leisurely, but time went by faster and faster. Meng'er knew she couldn't escape so she just followed resignedly without saying much or asking many questions. Surprisingly, Ajin followed very patiently. However, Meng'er found that Ajin and Alai frequently contacted the old man around Zaiji. Meng'er observed for a while without making any expression and finally came to an answer that she was very unwilling to accept: Ajin and Alai had defected to the enemy.
Relying on Zai Ji's great power, Ajin and Alai no longer avoided Men'er and swaggered in and out of Zai Ji's room, as if they were Zai Ji's right-hand men. Men'er was so angry that she fell backwards. Zai Ji must have known that she was alone and powerless against these two traitors, and he was just bluffing before. Zai Ji had two capable subordinates, and especially seeing Men'er's look of secret hatred and frustration, he was in a good mood.
