The innkeeper asked one more question: "Sir, what brings you to such a far place?"
"Why ask so many questions? It's not like I'm not paying you for running errands," Song Lao Er said irritably.
Another fellow said, "It's not that we're being nosy, but that place is a bit unsettled. People from the Kui Niu Kingdom often come to the town to disturb the people. We often ride horses, so we know the situation within a radius of three hundred li quite well."
Old Song's eyes darted around. There were people from the Kui Niu Kingdom in Shouyuan Town. That was good news. He had been a little worried about how to cross the border to inform the Kui Niu Kingdom's general. Now that the situation was tense, he was afraid he would be shot before he could even cross the border.
Knowing this, there's no need to take the risk.
As expected, the Song family was blessed by heaven, and their fortunes were about to turn around.
To avoid arousing suspicion from his fellow workers, he gave Song Lao Er a wink. Song Lao Er hadn't thought of this yet, but he could tell that Song Lao Da meant for him to keep quiet.
“So what if it’s not peaceful? Just drop us off there, we’ll be right back after we’re done. It won’t take long,” said Boss Song.
Two horses galloped off towards Shouyuan Town.
They didn't notice that several horses were following them in the distance.
The two people in front are Chu Zhuo and Qiao Lian'er.
Qiao Lian'er decided to go along. Taking Song Lao Da and Song Lao Er was no problem, but she wanted to see the situation on the front lines.
With all seven men in her family on the front lines, it's impossible not to worry. Luckily, she's currently waiting for feedback on the fertilizer and grain supplies, and she has nothing else to do these days.
She had no choice but to break her promise to Guan Song and Guan Xue; she would make it up to the two little ones later.
As if sensing something, Song Lao Er turned around and glanced back. Qiao Lian'er immediately reined in her horse and moved it towards the edge of the cliff to avoid his gaze.
“Brother Chu, we need to slow down. Now that we know they’re heading towards Shouyuan Town, we don’t need to rush. If they find us, things will get complicated.”
Chu Zhuo thought for a moment: "Okay, but that's not enough."
He instructed the two elite soldiers behind him: "Take another route, ride as fast as you can, and get to Shouyuan Town first."
This way, it's easier to catch them red-handed.
The two acted immediately.
There are four guards following Chu Zhuo now, but they are more than enough to capture Brother Song.
Moreover, another thousand men are preparing to depart as reinforcements.
It's best if we don't need it, but it's always better to be prepared.
Because they were in a hurry and were traveling by fast horse, the Song brothers arrived at Shouyuan Town at the end of Hai hour tonight.
Knowing that the Qiao brothers' troops would arrive tomorrow, they were starving and didn't have time to eat. They ate two steamed buns and went to find the people of Kui Niu Kingdom.
After asking around, they found a gambling den where people from the Kui Niu Kingdom often gambled.
Even though it was late at night, the casino was still bustling with people, their excitement undiminished. Everyone craned their necks, their faces beaming with anticipation.
"Big, big, little, little."
"Place your bet now, place your bet now!"
"Let's go!"
The dice cup swung around in mid-air a few times, then landed upside down on the table and was lifted up.
Cheers and sighs of disappointment rose at the same time.
Brother Song watched with drooling mouth; if they weren't busy with important business, they would have wanted to play a couple of rounds too.
In a more open area on the other side, a person sat on a tiger-skin chair, legs spread wide open.
Before him, a man was pinned to the coffee table, his face pale as he begged for mercy.
"No, no, no, please don't chop off my hand! I promise I'll return it by dawn, I'll return it by dawn!"
