Eroge: I can Travel To The Ancient World-Chapter 315: Brewing Conspiracy

Beyond the perimeter of Nanhai City, the forest becomes dense. The nearby hill was one of the best places for bandits to ambush the escort carts.

Since it’s beyond the perimeter of Nanhai City, the city guards also don’t come to check here often. The nearby forest turned into a camp for bandits.

Alas, the bandits that face Jia Hao today truly had the greatest misfortune.

Before they could move, they suddenly saw one of their mates’ heads flying, with blood spurting like a fountain from the severed neck.

" Wh-What?"

Their spines chilled when they saw Jia Hao walking towards them, his saber gleaming with an ominous red glow. Suddenly, he blurred from his position, leaving behind merely a faded afterimage.

*BOOM!"

" KHUGHH!"

The saber moved like a strike of a cobra, stabbing the heart of one bandit. At the same time, Jia Hao’s left hand moved, crushin the chest of another bandit like a strike of a hammer.

After reaching the stage of Enlightened Monk in Golden Arhat Vajra Body Art, Jia Hao’s physical body, without any internal energy, is the same as the pinnacle of Profound Awakening Realm. Not to mention, since he is in the Yunlan Continent, he can use entirely of his power.

The moment his punch fell on the chest of the bandit, the bandit folded like a piece of cardboard. The bone shattered in an instant as he fell on the ground, vomiting blood with chunks of organs.

The leader of the bandit finally reacted when he saw three of his men dying in an instant.

" Fuck! Everyone! Run!"

" It’s a master! He knows martial arts!"

Even before the leader could finish his sentence, he had already started to run. He realized he had finally kicked an iron wall.

’ Fuck! Fuck! FUCK! Which motherfucker’s face did I see after waking up today?’

’ Damn it! Even though he is a martial arts master, he won’t be able to catch me in this dense forest, right?’

He might not be able to fight with those martial arts masters, but the leader had faith in his running skills. After all, being a bandit, one needs to know when to attack and when to run.

This is his forest, so he knows all the ways in and out. He knows which path he should take, which would slow down Jia Hao.

Suddenly, he felt like tumbling forward. As the leader’s face was plastered on the ground, he groaned in pain.

" Ugh, Wh-What happened? There weren’t any bumps here." The leader tried to stand up, but felt like everything was looking a bit taller.

Finally, a few seconds later, pain stung his brain as he looked below.

Below his knees, there was nothing. His pair of legs was behind him, lying on the ground in a pool of fresh blood.

" ARRGHHHHHH! MY LEGS!!!!"

" You run pretty fast."

The bandit leader saw Jia Hao walking towards him, his saber looking surprisingly clean. As if he didn’t just slaughtered, 5 men a few breaths ago.

" Unfortunately, my saber is faster." Jia Hao reached him and sheathed his saber. Cupping his fist, he showed his gratitude.

" Thank you for giving me the Horse Riding skill."

" Ba-Bastard! Yo-You!"

Before the bandit leader could finish his curse, Jia Hao grabbed his neck and twisted it, killing him instantly.

A silver color card appeared above his corpse, a shining [Seasoned Horse Rider] skill card. Without any hesitation, Jia Hao picked it, rushing back to his horse.

*TROT! TROT! TROT! TROT!*

Jia Hao felt a significant increase in comfort and control as he rode the horse into the forest path.

Cai Yixue looked outside of her carriage as she finally saw the city. ’ Ugh, we finally arrived. I am really tired from this journey.’

’ Haah, only if he were here with me.’ Cai Yixue brooded as she saw the scenes fleeting. ’ After marriage, as husband and wife, we never went out together, did we?’

’ After I return, I should do something for him.’

" Young Lady, we have arrived at the inn."

" En."

Cai Yixue nodded as she got out of the carriage. She was surprised as she saw four maids wearing bright white clothes bowing before her.

" You guys..."

" Greetings, Eldest Lady Cai. We are here to receive you. Your room has been prepared." One of the maids spoke respectfully.

" I didn’t arrange anything, though?" Cai Yixue raised her brows. The maid shook her head, " Everything is arranged by the Third Prince."

Cai Yixue’s eyes turned cold when she heard that. However, she didn’t react to anything. " Very well, let’s go. I need to rest now."

" Yes, Lady Yixue." All four of them spoke in unison.

The city was bustling with a festive atmosphere. After all, the Province Governor was arranging the banquet. Everyone from the Western Province and a part from Southern Province were coming to this banquet.

Not to mention, since an Imperial Prince is also arriving, everything was much more sophisticated.

At the estate of governor, one courtyard was tightly guarded.

A bathtub filled with flower petals, scented incense creating a mystical mood. The water rippled as a young man lay inside it.

" Your Majesty..."

The young man opened his eyes when he heard the sound of his subordinate. " Cai Yixue arrived?"

" Yes, Your Majesty." The retainer replied. " Also, I have gotten the news that Prince Qing won’t be able to leave the capital."

" Good, looks like our plan is going smooth."

The young man was none other than Li Yuan, the Third Prince of Great Yan Kingdom.

Holding a jade cup, Li Yuan took a sip from it. Closing his eyes in satisfaction, he smacked his lips.

" I can’t believe they manage to produce such a wine. It’s slightly below the wine that the elves from Moon Frost Forest brings to the Imperial Family."

" Your Majesty, why worry?" The retainer bowed. " Once you get Lady Yixue, you will naturally get everything that belongs to the Cai Family."

" Hahaha, Good! Good observation." Li Yuan nodded as he slid the cup away.

" Along with Yixue, I will gain the military power of one of the three great families. After that, my dearest eldest brother won’t be able to do anything." Li Yuan stretched his arms as he saw the petals drifting away from the ripple.

" As for that commoner bastard..." Li Yuan clenched his fist. " Hahaha, I will see him... I will."

" The Shen Family, the Martial Bu Family, they are here, right?"

" The Bu Family’s third young master has arrived. The Shen Family’s young master shall arrive soon, too."

" Very well, we must prepare the stage." Li Yuan tapped his finger on the edge of the tub. " The Cai Family has grown a lot in a short period of time. If we don’t crush them now, it will be impossible to do it in the future."

" Tell Lian Luoqiu to prepare the medicine. We will be needing it tomorrow."

Li Yuan’s eyes flashed with cold light when he remembered what happened two years ago.

" Two years, I have been looking for this moment, and it finally came."

" Hmph, you have survived the Monster Tide, so what? Let’s see how you are going to escape this time."
