Purple Dawn Till Dusk: Dearest through the time

Chapter 78: Bandits

"Actually he was a smart little guy, sometimes he was managed to instigate his wet nurse to go outside occasionally, the wet nurse would oblige. Initially, even though he was almost always managed to slipped away from his bodyguards, there were always guards from crescent moon who watched over him and his wet nurse also wasn't someone that simple, all of this to make sure his safety. In that way, Tianyao not gave much thought about his son behavior. Perhaps Tianyou saw his own reflection in his son when he was Mugi age" Elder Dam chuckled when a flash of memory from the past, when he saw Xiao Tianyou for the first time, flashed crossed his mind.

"What an amazing understanding between father-son relationships" Senja muttered to herself.

Night kick in, but the conversation between two people became more interesting.

Therefore, elder Dam asked someone to brought to them night snack to accompany them gossiping.

"One day, Mugi was instigated his wet nurse again to ran off like usual. Mostly he would just wander around the street or buy something at the market when he has satisfied then he would came back on his own, nothing to worry about that because 2 crescent moon guards were hiding to protect him if something happen.

However, that day he ran from his wet nurse to the empty house and 2 crescent moon guards who supposedly with him were killed without chance to retaliate. I need to tell you that, crescent moon guards martial arts are above average spy agents, they are special armies who was trained personally by Tianyou, thus there were no way they die without a chance to fight back even though the enemy was way too tough for them"

"Or, the enemy was someone they know so they put their guards down and the enemy took that chance to launched sneaked attack at them" Senja said calmly assessing another options of that situations.

Elder Dam's heart sunk. "Child, if that person was an insider, who would so dare to provoked Tianyou in his own turf? The people around him knew, how ruthless he was when it come to violent" Elder Dam shook his head. "I don't think it was an insider"

Senja smiled slightly and shrugged her shoulder "Just saying what I thought"

Elder Dam smiled back at her and patted her head lovingly "I know that your reason not totally impossible, but it's hard to accept"

Senja didn't argue with him about this because she didn't really know the situation itself. "And who save him then?"

"It was Rindi, your second step sister she was happened has a mission near that area. She saw Mugi walk inside the abandon building and she followed him, you can guessed what happened next" Elder Dam sipped his tea and cleared his throat "There was a street gang of bandit waiting for him inside. They were tried to kill him fortunately Rindi came in time to save Mugi's life"

"But, grandfather it was a bandit? What they have anything to do with imperial family?" If they were merely a street bandit, they wouldn't have courage to offend even an official, let alone imperial family.

"That was a question too, but Tianyao assumed that they were recognized Mugi as a lost child"

"It looks fishy. Why didn't investigated it further?"

"We wanted to do it but, all the bandits were death"

"All of them? Is she very skill in martial arts?"

Elder Dam nodded. "You can say so. Currently, she is one of the leaders in Black Sword Clan"

Is my life in danger if I make her my enemy? Senja thought to herself, she really needs to be careful.

It looks like finding a shelter not made her more saver.

"But why Mugi came to place like that?"
