Chapter 20 Doubts

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

Maybe it was because the environment was way too quiet, Ke Ruan felt a little awkward. He then asked, "General Lin. Those people were not just some regular bandits, right?" 

Obviously, they were not good at acting up and could easily seen through. 

Lin Qingye nodded. A faint sneer crossed Ke Ruan's face, "We just got out of the city. It looks like someone has no patience at all."

"I would die for you." Lin Qingye said with no emotion, but Ke Ruan heard firmness and seriousness in it. 

Ke Ruan slapped Lin Qingye on the shoulder and said, "I have no doubt about that. "

Ke Ruan then sneezed suddenly. Lin Qingye helped Ke Ruan to his feet, feeling a little annoyed. He said, "Young master, better go back to the carriage to change your clothes."

Ke Ruan nodded, then hurriedly walked towards the carriage. He subconsciously looked at Si Yuhan and found that he had fallen asleep in the corner. Ke Ruan cautionsly changed his clothes without any noise, then gently held the little boy in his arms. The center space was just big enough for two of them to sleep in. 

He put the blanket on both of them, and then hold Si Yuhan a little tighter. 

Feeling Ke Ruan's even breath, Si Yuhan immediately opened his eyes. The moonlight sneaked through the cracks of the carriage. Si Yuhan looked at the face in front of him, felling a little unreal.

What was he up to?

For the first time in his entire life, Si Yuhan had a feeling of doubt and uncertainly, towards himself. 

Usually, he had no doubt about the things he did. If he didn't like someone, he would just kill him without second thought. 

What's worse, the man lying beside him was the one he wanted to destroy the most, day and night. 

But he just couldn't do it.

Ke Ruan! Ke Ruan…

Si Yuhan repeated this name in his heart again and again. He felt strong hatred. He wanted to tear him into pieces. 

Alright. Forget about it.

Now was not a good time to kill him. Today he might be lucky. Tomorrow, maybe not. 

Si Yuhan closed his eyes annoyingly. But as soon as he did this, the scene in which they were both soaked in the river emerged in his head. He just couldn't get rid of it. 

Those cold fingers. The red lips were hot like fire. 

Damn it!

Si Yuhan opened his eyes all of a sudden. He sat up and coldly stared at Ke Ruan who was sleeping soundly. His fingers clenched automatically.  

Si Yuhan had been avoiding him for a few days. Ke Ruan couldn't figure out why. Especially on the day after the bandits issue, Si Yuhan's face was colder than ever. When Ke Ruan tried to talk to him, he would reply with either "ok" or "yes". 

Ke Ruan thought all the efforts he made turned out to be utterly useless. The leading character didn't take it seriously at all. 

When they arrived at Yuliang County, the country magistrate came out to welcome them. When he sighted Lin Qingye, he hurridely came forward to greet him with a bow. 

"General Lin."

Yin Qingyes was a decisive leader. As soon as he arrived, he devoted himself to the matter of crashing mountain bandits. 

Ke Ruan's identity couldn't be revealed for the matter of safety. He acted as one of the Lin Qingye's subordinates, standing besides him and carefully listening to the whole situation. 

"When did the burglars first appear?" Lin Qingye asked.

"General, the bandits of Liang County appeared a few months ago. I've already sent many guards to the region to hunt them down, but in the end, they got killed by the bandits instead.  I wouldn't report to the emperor if I have any other idea to deal with them. Those bandits were outrageous. They set fire, rob ordinary people of everything, and kill innocent people. What's worse, they even rob us officers." The county magistrate's fat face was trembling out of rage.  

Ke Ruan didn't like the county magistrate without knowing exactly why. Maybe it was because he didn't look like a good person. He must have eaten a lot to be so fat. His clothes could barely bear him. 

Lin Qingye frowned and asked, "Do you know how many bandits there are?"

The county magistrate paused a bit, and then said awkwardly, "General, forgive me for being so useless. The bandits have already took over Qiaoshan, where it is easy to guard but hard to attack. No one has been able to get into that place so far."

That was suspicious.
