Chapter 360: Xu Qi'an's Ambush Plan
# 360. Xu Qi'an's Ambush Plan
*A month ago... Sanhuang County lies on the outskirts of Chuzhou. Such strict inspections—are they searching for someone or trying to block someone?*
*I’ve been spending my days trekking through the deep mountains and forests, barely paying attention to whether there are checkpoints on the official roads.*
*Whoever they’re searching for, it’s certainly not me... Or am I overthinking? Though there’s a possibility they’ve added me to their “blacklist” recently.*
*In any case, searching for one person or two doesn’t change much for me.*
Xu Qi’an drummed his fingers on the table as he analysed the situation and outlined his short-term objectives:
*Tomorrow, I’ll head to Xikou Commandery. If there’s indeed an issue there, it might very well be the site of the Blood Runs Three Thousand Miles case. If that’s true, there could be danger. Should I bring the princess consort along?*
*Hmm, I can leave her at a safe inn near Xikou Commandery when I get close. The princess consort is a valuable chess piece—if used wisely, she might save my life. I can’t leave her behind.*
Seeing Xu Qi’an deep in thought, Cai’er remained obediently silent, sitting quietly at the side.
