Chapter 7, Shache

Thank you for your graciousness, Your Majesty. I shall certainly convey your message.

Tomorrow we will enter the city to pay our respects to the ruler of Shache.

I do not care whether there are shadow guards or not, raising an idle person is inconsequential, so there is no need to be overly cautious, after all, you have nothing to lose

Jia Ye cast a faint glance and nodded in gratitude

A killer relies not solely on martial skills

Wherever it may be, I simply miss Elder Jiang, whom I have not seen for a long time, and I take this opportunity to extend my greetings. I hope you will not take offense, esteemed envoy

The respect shown to the two envoys is indicative of the influence of the demonic sect in the various countries of the Western Regions

The sovereign is too courteous. On behalf of the教王, I wish Princess Sha Gong much happiness and longevity, and may she enjoy peace and joy for a long time. "Jia Ye took out a list of gifts from his bosom, and the attendant presented it to the sovereign. "This is the congratulatory gift from the教王, may Sha Che and our教永 remain good neighbors.

As night fell, she sat cross-legged on the wide bench in meditation, substituting this for sleep

The distant lights remain boisterous, and this night is destined to be one in which some find it difficult to sleep

Why are you saying these things to me

To believe that success can be achieved solely through enthusiasm is undoubtedly a form of folly

At that time ... ... why did you save me

After a long silence, she slowly replied. "I am not a good person either, but... those who have survived the slave camps and the elite camps should not die in such a disgraceful manner"

The punishment for failure in the teaching system is quite severe; not only do they waste opportunities due to mission failure, but they also alert the enemy, making subsequent assassinations even more challenging

The sovereign said, "You flatter me; it is we who have arrived hastily and startled the host, thus it is we who have been discourteous." Jia Ye responded with grace and composure, his words carrying a certain dignity. Although his demeanor was still youthful, it commanded respect.

"This is my close minister, Shavari." The sovereign forced a smile, giving a symbolic reprimand. "You must not be disrespectful to the esteemed envoy"

Looking towards the Western Regions, no one is unaware that a pair of black wings symbolizes the most fearsome demon deep within the Tianshan Mountains

Yes

Without waiting for the other party to bow and apologize, Jiaye signaled that it was of no concern

Only when all three elements are present can an assassination be deemed qualified. Novices in the assassination group always have the highest casualty rate, as those who rely solely on their reckless bravery and passion to carry out the assassination often meet their demise the quickest

Who is this esteemed person? She remained expressionless and responded with a question instead of an answer

The attendants at the banquet will presumably be replaced by guards. To carry out an assassination under such unprecedented vigilance would indeed be fraught with difficulties, and she smiled silently.

Do not think it is out of goodwill; I merely have a habit that even in using others, it must be with their willing consent

"What does this statement mean?" Sha Wali inquired calmly

This is certainly the case. Our church has always maintained a good relationship with your country and has a long-standing understanding. The Pope has repeatedly mentioned the sovereign, always speaking highly of him.

Jia Ye submitted the imperial edict at the official post station. The welcoming clerk's expression changed drastically upon receiving it, and he involuntarily trembled, reporting to his superior in a quivering voice.

The sovereign was filled with uncertainty and exchanged a glance with a close minister. ... During the exchanges of tribute, there were indeed envoys from the Demon Sect visiting during festive occasions, but at this moment ...

Who

The common people greet visitors from afar with smiles, embodying peace and happiness. They mostly speak highly of the ruler of www.hetushu.com, suggesting that the King of Shache enjoys considerable support from the populace

She let out a faint sigh, as if harboring some regret. "It is inconvenient to elaborate on internal matters, yet we did not anticipate that this would cause distress to the sovereign; this is our fault"

Polite and courteous, yet clearly unable to conceal his nervousness, he only managed to calm himself slightly after a nearby scholar cleared his throat

After a long silence, the young man spoke again

He and the monarch conferred for a long time. The monarch believed that we merely sought to obtain the gold beads and were passing through, not specifically targeting Shache. However, Shavari held a different view and persuaded the monarch to strengthen security, deploying troops overnight to protect the palace. Tomorrow's banquet will be our last opportunity to meet the monarch

When the dawn once again shines upon the eaves, the young man raises his head

However, she slowly articulated the second half of the sentence. "My coming here is purely coincidental"

She slowly bent her arm, forming a fist.

Jia Ye listened to his report, seemingly unsurprised, as he lowered his gaze to look at the palm of his hand

Dare I ask, esteemed envoy, what brings you here... The sovereign could no longer contain himself

"Shawari." She pondered silently for a moment. "His skills are quite good. You should use your agility to get closer, and be sure not to alert him. Observe whom he interacts with, what he says, and what arrangements he has made. Finally, have the spies investigate his background."

May I ask if the teaching king is satisfied with the tribute from Shache this year

There is half an hour left until the banquet, very good

Jia Ye revealed a hint of a smile, "Originally, we were on our way to Dayuan for business, but we happened to encounter Elder Jiong and his entourage being urgently summoned back to the mountain by the king, making it impossible for them to split their attention. Therefore, we were instructed to visit along the way, so as not to lose the courtesy due to the ruler."

a rather hot task

Among the various factions within the Demon Sect, it is well known that only the notorious assassin group, renowned in the Western Regions, consists entirely of young individuals

Jia Ye sat in meditation and ate without seeing anything. In the evening, he still went to the market to buy a plain handkerchief.

Dozens of people from Shache, waiting for their affairs to be processed, looked on in confusion as the station chief, with an expression bordering on fear, respectfully invited the two outstanding young men and women, who confidently stepped into the official sedan chair and proceeded directly into the royal palace

Thank you for helping me see clearly what I am facing. He spoke each word deliberately

Thank you, Your Excellency. After your long journey, please enter the palace and rest. The sovereign relaxed slightly, stood up with a smile, and said, "It is already late today; our country will host a grand banquet for Your Excellency tomorrow to wash away the fatigue of your travels."

He was stunned for a moment upon hearing the news, then quickly rushed into the carriage and shouted at the driver to head to a separate villa

Not bad

Once the three kingdoms unite and form a secret alliance, the ministers supported by the religious kings within the various nations will inevitably face purges, and the hard work of several years will be at great risk, significantly impacting the influence of the demonic sect.

What else is there

The ruler of Shache is a middle-aged man in his thirties

"I beg your pardon, Your Excellency. In the past, most of Elder Jiang's subordinates were from the Western Regions, and it is indeed rare to see two such young talents like you." The civil official's eyes were fixed intently on her

For this reason, Shache was brightly lit, holding celebrations that lasted for three full days. The luxurious banquets continued day and night, and the festive atmosphere extended from the palace to the common people

The arrival of the two esteemed envoys at hetushu.com is truly a delightful surprise. I regret not being able to welcome you in person and hope for your understanding.

"Shuying, go monitor a person"

Please teach me how to become a true killer

In the faint light and shadows, her features were indistinct, yet her voice was clear and composed, possessing a calmness that was entirely incongruous with her age

All day long, he sat motionless at the edge of the bed, like a puppet that has lost its puppeteer

"In fact, the adult is right; we are indeed subordinates of Elder Kui." As soon as these words were spoken, it was tantamount to directly admitting to being assassins, and the faces of the surrounding Shache people turned pale.

The residence is quite luxurious; even the dignity of royalty pales in comparison.

The Shadow Guard and the Assassination Group are different.

In a single day, the news of the serious illness of the King of Yutian spread throughout the streets and alleys, and finally reached Shavali in the evening

"Shuying, go and instruct the shadow agents to spread rumors throughout the city, claiming that the King of Utyan is gravely ill and may pass away at any moment. Tomorrow, continue to monitor Shavari and observe any movements he makes. Inform the attendants that we require rest after our long journey, and we shall decline all engagements except for the evening banquet."

The sun rises and sets

Infiltration without a trace, a decisive strike, and a meticulous retreat

Jia Ye lifted her gaze from the map and smiled faintly

Yes

How is it?

The assassination group has yet to recover from the severe blow it suffered two years ago, and simultaneously targeting multiple objectives has proven quite challenging. Moreover, creating too many enemies has caused alarm among various nations, leading to a counteraction that is not a wise strategy. Therefore, it is extremely difficult to strike the right balance in this endeavor

Such an insult is worse than killing a person. Even the most resilient individuals have their limits of endurance. It is essential to maintain a degree of respect for this kind of spirit, and that is all.

It is essential to fully assist the master in executing tasks, requiring excellent coordination. The most fundamental aspect is to carry out orders without question. The shadow guard acts as an extension of the master's hand, executing commands regardless of understanding.

The dishes served were sumptuous and enticing. Jia Ye sampled a bit of each but then set down his jade chopsticks, seemingly lacking much interest. Once he finished eating, he immediately gave instructions.

Currently, his experience is too limited to handle matters independently; the only thing he can do on this trip is to observe and contemplate.

Historically, all interactions with various countries have been overseen by Elder Jiang. Are you two subordinates of the Elder?

The hands are very small, with delicate and pitiable fingertips, resembling jade-carved green onions.

A secret correspondence from hidden spies in Shache reports that the state of Khotan has recently sent envoys to secretly meet with the ruler of Shache, conspiring to jointly resist the demonic cult. This matter even involves connections to Shule.

Shawari is not a native of Shache, but rather a merchant. Under the guise of a nominal court official, he has frequented the palace for less than two months, establishing extensive connections and forming alliances with many other high-ranking officials. It is said that he is generous in his spending and often visits restaurants and entertainment venues.

"This is excellent. I kindly ask you to speak highly of me in front of the king, so that our friendship may be everlasting. I am deeply grateful from Shache." As he slightly raised his hand, an attendant immediately presented a golden tray, piled high with large gemstones, shining brilliantly.

Jia Ye did not say anything superfluous and explained the task in the briefest manner

Jia Ye seemed to suddenly remember, breaking into a faint smile. "I have come to congratulate the sovereign on the joyful arrival of his beloved daughter, and there is no other matter."

The queen of Shache recently gave birth to a princess for the ruler of the nation
