The Favored Little Peasant Seizes the Heroine's Script!-Chapter 512 - 464: Fishing for Trouble

"Who is it?"

"Yin Wuji?"

Yu Budong, who had narrowly escaped death, hid in his little lover’s room, pondering who was behind targeting him.

Though he was the Deputy Director of the Sound Listening Bureau, he had always gotten along well with others and had not made any mortal enemies over the years.

But the recent assassination attempt had truly aimed to kill him.

Although the assassins on the surface came from Great Yin, the whole affair seemed too coincidental.

Yu Budong had risen from a minor clerk in the Sound Listening Bureau to Deputy Director through numerous trials of life and death. His exceptionally accurate sense of danger had helped him avoid death repeatedly, ultimately leading to his promotion.

Even though there was no evidence pointing to Yin Wuji, Yu Budong felt that the person behind this was indeed Yin Wuji.

"I must leave!"

Feeling that staying in the Capital could cost him his life, Yu Budong, after much deliberation, decided to distance himself from this troublesome place.

As the Deputy Director of the Sound Listening Bureau, he had ample reason to be away from the Capital for extended periods.

That night, Yu Budong quietly left his little lover’s room.

He took a secret passage he had prepared long ago.

The exit of the secret passage was located in a slum area of Qianyang City.

This slum was a mix of all sorts.

Yu Budong didn’t know if danger was still waiting for him, but he was extremely cautious because his life was at stake.

Before dawn, Yu Budong hid inside a wagon filled with night-soil barrels. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Nobody knew that this wagon transporting night soil barrels had been arranged by Yu Budong and was specially designed to hide people.

After hiding, even if someone inspected it, unless they dismantled the wagon, it would be hard to discover the hidden compartment beneath it.

This wagon’s undercarriage utilized the art of visual deception.

When the wagon transporting night soil passed the city gate, the inspections there were indeed much stricter.

In the name of catching Great Yin’s assassins.

The city guards were diligent, and even the night soil wagons that used to be ignored were thoroughly checked this time, with every barrel being poked and stirred by the guards’ spears.

Hiding in the hidden compartment under the wagon, Yu Budong tensed up upon hearing the commotion outside.

Though he heard they wanted to catch Great Yin’s assassins, Yu Budong didn’t believe it.

These days, naive people have long been wiped out.

A quarter of an hour later, the night soil wagon in which Yu Budong was hidden finally exited the Capital.

The workers transporting the night soil drove the wagon to its destination before dispersing.

The night soil in these barrels would naturally be collected by nearby villagers, who would return with the cleaned barrels to the city in the afternoon.

Yu Budong waited until everything was quiet outside before cautiously crawling out from the hidden compartment under the wagon.

The entire journey had left Yu Budong thoroughly suffocated.

Although he hid in the hidden compartment, the wagon had been transporting night soil for years, and the compartment was already infiltrated with that rich stench.

"Where to next?"

Yu Budong was a decisive person.

He didn’t want to confirm if he was being targeted.

Truly smart people make up their minds and don’t regret it. Because regret won’t change what has happened and might even get oneself into trouble.

"Maybe, I should take a trip to the Hanhai Desert!"

Thinking about Wei Huo leading people to the Hanhai Desert, Yu Budong knew where he should go, and he had ample reason.

Wei Huo, once the Great General of Daxia.

Although he had stepped down, he still held terrifying influence in Daxia. His every move could greatly impact Daxia.

For such an important figure, it was completely reasonable for him, the Deputy Director of the Sound Listening Bureau, to personally keep an eye on him.

Thinking of this, Yu Budong immediately chose to head west.

Of course, before heading to the Hanhai Desert, Yu Budong, in his capacity as the Deputy Director of the Sound Listening Bureau, sent a secret memorial to Emperor Xia.

He had no evidence showing that his assassination attempt was due to Yin Wuji, but he still informed Emperor Xia of his suspicions. As for determining the truth of the matter, that would be Emperor Xia’s responsibility.

After sending the secret memorial, Yu Budong completely changed his appearance, becoming a wandering warrior and joining a merchant convoy heading to the Hanhai Desert Countries as a guard.

Many merchant convoys traveled from Daxia to the Hanhai Desert Countries, and along the route, numerous bandits and robbers roamed.
