<h4>174 An Interesting Piece</h4>


    "Who are you?" Lan Gao Ya said cautiously. She doesn''t have much time to spend here in case that annoying emperor sends some people to chase after her. However, who is this person that could guess about her secret so correctly?


    The person in front of her is a man wearing ck clothes all over. She can''t see his feature or anything, but she can sense a thick bloodthirsty aura from him. If her guess is not wrong, he must be an assassin.


    "Did you forget about the one cing a knife in your cousin neck?" the person said calmly.


    Lan Gao Ya minds rotate quickly before her eyes showed an understanding. He is one of Jun Min''s people. What did hee here for and how could a mere subordinate possibly knows about her escape route? The people on Jun Min side are not ordinary.


    "I remember," she said calmly.


    "Do you know why Ie here?"


    This person is someone from Jun Min side. If hees here to kill her, she won''t be able to retaliate for anything. Even if she tries to dig deeper into the Jun Family, she hadn''t had any precaution towards this family, rendering her to not have any card in her hand.


    Her eyes narrowed a little for she understands that she won''t be able to do anything in front of this man. But, she is not one to surrender to the word of fate. There is no way she would let him kill her when she hadn''t avenged her family death.


    "Did youe to kill me?" She asked slowly.


    "No."


    "What did youe here for?" Lan Gao Ya feels slightly relieved, but she didn''t ease her body at all. If something bad were to happen, she wouldn''t be able to go from here.


    "Ie to buy information from you."


    Lan Gao Ya thinks hard about the Jun Family. She had sent several people to investigate them, but the result nearly made her feel grim. Most of the spies were killed and the others were lost. The information about the newest condition of the Jun Family is almost none, especially in thest few years.


    She opened her mouth, "What information do you want to buy?"


    "Six years ago, a messenger from the Lan Family came to the Jun Family. Do you know what is the news that messenger brought?"


    Lan Gao Ya eyes narrowed and her mind rotates even more quickly. She still remembers that incident because she was already the one taking care of the information agency by then. However, does this person know that kind of information would inevitably bring trouble to their family if it was leaked out?


    Although she doesn''t have any prove, just the rumor would be enough to make people doubting about the Jun Family. That is if this was a few years before since any news targeted at Jun Family right now would be seen as people trying to tarnish their reputation because the young general is no longer here.


    "I do, but what is the benefit of me giving the information to you? Mind you, there is no one else who knows aside from me," the girl showed a cruel smile, instantly makes the man understand that she had killed the others who know about it.


    It was actually unneeded for he didn''t have any intention to use violence. He pointed towards the side, "that will be for you."


    Lan Gao Ya eyes followed the man''s finger. She can see a fine horse tied to the tree at the location several meters from them. Because the horse was staying still during these times, she hadn''t realized that there is that animal near them.


    She prepared her escape in quite a hurry, so she knows that she will still have a long journey ahead.The horse could greatly help her in her journey.


    "Deal."


    Before long, Lan Gao Ya already leaves the area using the horse. Lan Gao Ya smiled happily. Since she doesn''t have any ce in Ming Kingdom anymore, it''s time to move. They never really ept her and since they are giving her this chance, of course she will use it.


    Feeling happy, Lan Gao Ya disappears into the forest. And the news about her cannot be found anywhere for the next few months.


    Standing rooted in his ce, Yasha didn''t move for a good several minutes. He looks towards the girl in front of him.


    "Miss…"


    "It''s alright, I already kind of expecting this to be the case," Jun Hua smiled wryly. Maybe this is the reason her mother wants her to find her happiness. She had lost hers before she could get it just because of the change in the reign.


    Jun Hua sighed. All along, the one who speak is Jun Hua. She only uses Yasha to stand in that ce in order to not allow Lan Gao Ya knows that she is the one who holds the control of the Jun Family in the secret.


    "Let''s go from here. The guards from the imperial family are going to arrive soon."


    Yasha nodded his head and followed after Jun Hua as they return to Jun Family residence.


    …


    Pce


    "Tell me how that girl escapes?" the emperor is terribly angry at the sudden news. How can the important figures from Jun, Lan, and Nanglong family didn''t appear at all?


    Little did he know, there are some of them, but they didn''t move from their respective ces. Since the emperor is hell bent on chasing that girl, they think that it will be better to let her go and bother the emperor.


    The Lan family wants to intervene, but they are caught up by the wave of people and didn''t manage to get close with Lan Gao Ya thus allowing the girl to escape. Now that she had gone, there is nothing they could do anymore.


    The emperor is angry, not only because of the failure, but because of that incident. Given how Lan Gao Ya manages to escape the circle with who-knows help, he truly regrets his decision to let the girl alive at that time.


    Chasing the officials out, he looks towards Strategist Wu.


    "That day, if I didn''t allow her to live, would today incident happen?"


    Strategist Wu cannot answer that question. He had just returned back to the capital from doing a job and now he had to face with a lot of troubles. He sighed. "Your Majesty, you shouldn''t look down at woman. Even if they have fair appearance and look weak, they can be really powerful behind."


    The best example of his word is Lan Gao Ya. Even with his intelligent, he didn''t manage to uncover the secret Lan Gao Ya had before she escaped. How much does she knows about the information agency of Lan family? Did she obtain all of them or only a portion of it?


    Strategist Wu knows that whichever one that is, she will surely be someone so problematic. The reason the emperor move against the Lan Family is indeed because of their capability in gathering information. Now that Lan Teng already in charge of the Lan Family, they try to recreate it using the same way, but the result had beencking.


    If the real one is still existed, they are going to have a lot of trouble ahead. Strategist Wu sighed at the thought of his workload increased even more. Ever since those people act against them, the number of people who stays in the emperor side had been decreasing rapidly. He should quickly think of a way to recover them soon enough.


    The emperor is really angry. But, it''s toote. He had allowed another disturbing piece that wants to kill him out in the wild.
