After a long while, Yuan Shu finally finished and began to get up and put on his clothes.

Xie Yutai's daughter was also exhausted and lying on the couch, panting. Her gaze toward Yuan Shu had changed from fear to submission and admiration.

After getting dressed, Yuan Shu turned his head and glanced at the couch.

"You've done well. I'll consider sparing your father's life!"

"Thanks!"

Upon hearing this, Xie Yutai's daughter also sat up with a joyful expression and knelt down to thank Yuan Shu for his kindness.

"Alright, you should rest now!"

Yuan Shu waved his hand, straightened his clothes, and then walked outside.

As soon as he stepped outside, Ji Ling greeted him with a joyful expression.

"Young master, we've struck it rich!!"

Yuan Shu raised an eyebrow: "Oh? How was the harvest?"

Ji Ling licked his lips: "The brothers found three million taels of silver, five hundred thousand taels of gold, ten thousand pearls, five thousand pieces of various jade stones, and countless grains and bolts of cloth in the city..."

"This Xie Yutai is so wealthy, could there be a silver mine nearby...?"

Upon hearing the numbers reported by Ji Ling, Yuan Shu was taken aback for a moment, then began to ponder.

Just then, Chen Xi, an illegitimate son of the Chen family, rushed in.

"Brother Highway, a large group of men is heading this way!"

"The Han army?"

Yuan Shu was slightly taken aback, and quickly asked, "Who is leading the team?"

Chen Xi took a breath: "According to the brothers' report, their banner has the character 'Yuan' on it. I guess it is very likely Brother Benchu."

"Is that your elder brother?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Shu was slightly taken aback.

His previously cold expression vanished instantly, replaced by excitement.

"Ji Ling, come with me quickly to greet them!!"

After saying that, Yuan Shu rushed outside...
