“Boss,” one of them chuckled, “we didn’t mean to come back late. On our way back, Rat and I ran into some people from Xiahe Village and were thinking of leading them to Dinghe Village to take a look.”

“Yes, boss,” the rat said, clasping his hands in a fist salute. “Old Wolf and I originally wanted the people from Xiahe Village to raid the grain, but who knew they were so useless. They went into Dinghe Village, took a quick look around, and came out without accomplishing anything.”

These two men were newly promoted confidants of One-Eyed Wang and knew the weight of that batch of grain.

One-Eyed King frowned. "Our important matter is paramount. We can't afford any mistakes at this crucial juncture. From now on, you all need to be more careful in your actions."

"What are you afraid of, boss? Don't we still have the county magistrate backing us up?" Old Wolf asked, puzzled.

One-Eyed King hissed, "Fool! If we can't rebuild our ranks, we'll both die! From now on, don't mention the county magistrate again, understand?"

The fact that those goods were lost in his possession already displeased the county magistrate. If he couldn't do anything for the county magistrate, he would have no chance of survival.

Upon hearing this, the two quickly agreed and began to report on their trip.

"The people over there in Huang Wenshan have been starving for a long time. As soon as they heard that we could provide them with plenty of food, they immediately agreed to come. However, they need to pack their things and will not be able to arrive for another two days."

"Stone Mountain is similar, but they have fewer people there, so they can come over tomorrow."

"As for Wanjingshan, Chengliangshan, and Tazishan, they said they would consider sending us a message later, but I think they're out of food, so they'll probably still come."

After hearing what the two men said, One-Eyed King felt relieved and stood at the gate looking towards Dingshui Village.

He was convinced that the items were definitely in Dingshui Village, and once he had gathered his men, he was determined to retrieve them!
