Real Empress from a Noble Family-Chapter 372 - Did Not Take Him as an Idiot!
Chapter 372 Did Not Take Him as an Idiot!
At this moment, in a temporary campsite a hundred miles from Shazhou, Jiang Yadan was kicking soldiers one by one fiercely who knelt on the ground, “Crap! You are a group of crap! What have you achieved? How many days you have already taken? Not to mention going to rescue them, can you even find them? Does Kuang Qingwu know sorcery? Or are you all blind, deaf, or oafish?”
Though many of them fell in a faint because of his kick, he still felt furious. He shouted, “Where is my whip? Go and get my whip!”
His young servant, Jiang Gan, held the whip, kneeling to him. He was trembling because of fear. He didn’t dare to give it to him, “Young master, please relieve. The second master and the sixth master have already urged them to hurry up. I think several days later they will…”
“Several days?” Jiang Yadan kicked him on his chest without a word and then he sneered, “My eighteenth sister has been in favor since she was born. She has suffered a lot on the way. Moreover, she is kidnapped! We still haven’t rescued her. I don’t even know how to explain to my parents and my nephew. But you, son of b*tch, tell me that several more days are needed?”
Jiang Gan knew his master well. Though he spared no effort to serve him these years, if he riled Jiang Yadan when he was furious, he would be killed, too. The Eighth Young Master wasn’t short of young servants.
He didn’t mind the pain in his chest. He kowtowed on the ground, coughing with blood, “I’m sorry! Young Master, please forgive me! I was mindless to speak that! I deserve to die!”
He treated his young servant in such a cruel way. Jiang Yadan would certainly not care much about these trusted subordinates of Jiang Yayue and Jiang Yaqing. He thrashed their faces and heads with the whip. Though these guys were elite soldiers the first branch and sixth branch cultivated in the Western Army, they were still human beings. How could they bear the pain caused by being whipped on their head by a man with a horsewhip which contained iron inside?
Being whipped several times, four to five people were beaten to death.
At this moment Jiang Gan even couldn’t protect himself. He didn’t dare to say anything, not to mention those guys who followed Jiang Yadan to go westward from Jing City. However, the subordinates of Jiang Yayue and Jiang Yaqing couldn’t stand it, “Young Master, we tried our best to find them, while the heister, Kuang Qingwu, was so…”
“If you can’t find them, then go to hell.” In the heart of the first branch and the third branch, these guys were elite soldiers that they spared no efforts to cultivate. They cherished the soldiers like treasure. However, in Jiang Yadan’s eyes, they were just like roadside plants, poultries, and livestock. For the eighth young master in Jiang Family, beating several of them to death every day could smooth him down and they could say that they did not live in vain.
He was already furious because of his eighteenth sister who got lost and their failure to find any trace. Seeing that they dared to stop him, Jiang Yadan sneered. He dropped the whip and brushed out the long knife from the waist of the guard. He was about to cut off the one’s head, who just made an explanation, “If I can’t find them after your death, I will kill your whole family.”
“Yadan!” The soldier was greatly frightened, but he ducked and tried to revolt subconsciously, while a shout was heard. And then he came to his sense to stop. He hung his head to cover up the enmity in his eyes. As a henchman of the first branch and third branch, he already held a grudge against the fourth branch. He was trampled by Jiang Yadan at this moment and so definitely he would hate him.
But he knew even if his masters dared not to handle Jiang Yadan. Though he was a dandy, he was the trueborn son of the fourth branch. Unless they wanted to break with the fourth branch drastically, they could not harm him at all.
He was in his thought while there was a sharp pain shot through his shoulder.
“Yadan, what are you doing?” The one who rushed here to rescue those soldiers was Jiang Yayue. After all, Jiang Qizheng was kidnapped. Jiang Yadan was unwilling to go to Shazhou. He had to stay here to wait for news. As his elder cousins, Jiang Yaqing and he should come here to take a look at him.
They had proper business to deal with and so they could not pitch camps here like Jiang Yadan but took turns to visit him.
It was Jiang Yayue’s turn this day. As he was afraid of being urged by Jiang Yadan, he made excuses of finding the eighteenth sister on his own after he arrived. And when the time was enough, he came back to the camp to take leave.
He didn’t expect that while he was dragging his feet, he heard Jiang Yadan killed someone again.
He accumulated these soldiers in the Northern Army as his foundation. He wanted to take advantage of them to take down the Western Army. They couldn’t be beaten or killed by Jiang Yadan randomly like livestock!
“Now Qizheng has not been found yet. We are all miserable!” Looking at the corpses lying on the ground and those soldiers who would be disabled for the rest of their life, Jiang Yayue had excruciating pain in his chest.
Had it not been for the overall situation, he would grab the knife in Jiang Yadan’s hand to stab him severely!
But at this moment he could not do it. He even had to keep his temper to comfort the black sheep, “If you kill all these guys, will anyone else here rescue Jiang Qizheng?”
“These days there is no news. What is the meaning of keeping these crap guys?” Jiang Yadan didn’t show any respect at all. Hearing these words, he gave the soldier a few more stabs. He killed the guy in front of Jiang Yayue and blood even splashed on his face!
He held the knife and said disdainfully, “I would rather keep several dogs than keep them here.”
Jiang Yayue knew this cousin was arrogant. But he stayed in the Northern army for years and only knew him in the letter from his family members. He didn’t see the scene that Jiang Yadan went to find his sister-in-law in the first branch to get even with her. At that time, he was so unruliness. This day he finally saw how snooty his cousin was. He almost fainted with anger.
“Even if he were a dog, he should be mine! Do you have any respect for me?” Jiang Yayue roared. He stared at Jiang Yadan with blue veins standing out on his temples.
And then Jiang Yadan threw the knife on the ground in front of him. The knife almost cut his feet with a bang. He took on a mad expression, “You are my brother. I just kill several of your dogs. Why are you yelling at me? Have you treated me as a brother?”
Jiang Yayue finally knew how difficult and aggressive he was. However, he couldn’t punch or hurt him, not to mention kill him. In case he would kill him after running out of his patience here, he sensibly shut up and asked his retinue to leave.
Jiang Yadan only had no more than twenty guards left. He could not stop him. Though Jiang Yadan tried to block them by scolding, they all left there.
“Please cease to be angry, my master! Extreme anger will hurt you!” Jiang Gan’s chest was still very painful, but he had to serve a cup of tea. These years Jiang Yadan was obsessed with eroticism. Though he was at the prime of life, he was in poor health. If he was sick because of anger, a servant like him must die!
As a result, though Jiang Gan was so frightened, he had to try to persuade him to calm down, “Maybe we will find them soon…”
“You are silly!” Seeing that around him were all guards he brought from Jing City, the furious expression on his face disappeared. He sneered, “Even if those guys in the Western Army were pigs, if I let them smell the clothes of my eighteenth sister, they would have found clues! So many people took so much time. Do you believe they can’t find her?”
He put on a cold face, “They don’t want to find her at all!”
Jiang Gan was shocked, “But they are Princess’s cousins…”
“Though I don’t care about those things in my family, I know that Duck of Xihe gained his position by exchanging the life of his sister who was killed by her mother, old Princess Yang. Jiang Yadan ridiculed, “This kind of person can kill their own daughters to gain power, not to mention just a cousin!” Jiang Yadan was just obsessed with erotism and didn’t have ambition. Though he knew the right direction, he didn’t want to go. But he was not an idiot!
Though Jiang Yayue and Jiang Yaqing controlled him, their behavior was so abnormal. Did they treat him as a fool? Especially Jiang Yayue protected his subordinates urgently just now while he did not mention Jiang Qizheng at all. Jiang Yadan was sure that there must be something abnormal!
“How will they treat you, young master?” Jiang Gan woke up after being reminded. He was shocked. Thinking that at this moment Jiang Yayue could decide whether to kill his master and him or not, he freaked out.
“They don’t dare to!” Jiang Yadan sneered, “I was born in the fourth branch. If they dared to kill me, my father and grandfather would punish them without mercy. Moreover, my father owns the whole Western Army. He can kill all the members in the two branches if he makes an order. Otherwise, how can I stand here safe and sound? How can I kill Jiang Yayue’s subordinates in front of him?”
Jiang Gan queried with trembling lips, “But, young master, you are controlled by them. You just killed so many guys they cultivated…” He thought in his mind, “At present, you are staying in their lair. Please have some consciousness that you should have some respect when you are under their control! It would be too late if they were pushed too far!”
“They are just pawns of the first branch and the third branch! They deserve to die!” Jiang Yadan killed so many people before and he didn’t even take it seriously, “Just now the expression Jiang Yayue put on was so fierce that I thought he wanted to fight with me. But he endured. We can see that though they arrest me in this place, they don’t dare to hurt me!”
“What should we do next?” Jiang Yadan knew his identity would protect him from getting hurt by the two cousins. But Jiang Gan was not so sure. As Jiang Yadan said, the expression on Jiang Yayue’s face which meant that he wanted to kill Jiang Yadan was so clear. Even if he endured this time, who knew whether he would kill Jiang Yadan or not after he thought about this thing and got angrier?
If he didn’t kill Jiang Yadan, he might kill someone who served Jiang Yadan, like him, his servant, to vent his anger.
So, he was so anxious.
Suddenly Jiang Yadan sneered, “Next, you go to tell Jiang Yayue that I am so anxious about Jiang Qizheng that I am in poor health. Ask them to find some gorgeous girls to serve me!”
“…” Jiang Gan almost spurted out blood because of anxiety. He thought, “It is the most urgent time while you still want to flirt. Hearing what you just said, I thought you were an heir after all and though you were confounded usually, you could take on the responsibility at this critical moment.”
He didn’t know he was wrong. After telling Jiang Gan to send word to Jiang Yayue, Jiang Yadan was thinking, “So many days have passed, my eighteenth sister may be… But there may be a way I can find her and I must try my best until something bad happens. Even if my family knows the situation and no matter how shrewd Yashuang is, he can’t help me solve this issue. Now the guards I have are not able to beat them. If I want to get rid of them to find Qizheng, I have to depend on someone else!”
“In Shazhou, I have to find the brother of my nineteenth sister-in-law, Qiu Jinglan! I guess he must try to get in touch with me. However, those guys outside fix their eyes on me. I am afraid that he can’t come in as well.”
“Besides, I don’t know how many soldiers and supplies the first branch and third branch can use. If Qiu Jinglan is not a match for them, it is the best choice to cover up the contact between us. So, I have to force Jiang Yayue to find some girls to serve me. After all, this is normal as I did the same thing when I was in Jing City. Even if there will be spies in the first batch, I always love new girls. I will ask him to change girls every day. Unless Qiu Jinglan died, otherwise, he would arrange someone to talk to me!”
For this sudden attack, Jiang Yadan never doubted Qiu Jinglan, the one who wanted to kill the two brothers without regarding the power of the Jiang Family only because that Jiang Yashuang sent Qiu Yelan back home at midnight.
How could such a brother do something to hurt his sister?
Qiu Jinglan, who was counted on by Jiang Yadan, was thinking of Jiang Yadan as well, “I wish he is shrewd. After all, I can’t contend against Marquess Qin. What I could persuade and do is so limited. Otherwise, once somebody gets the goods on me, I will be killed. Jiang Yashuang, whether your plan will realize depends on how calculative your foppish brother is!”
