Su Qi's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that they'd been discovered before they even started? This didn't make sense. She and Gu Beiheng had been careful enough.
The sound of a crossbow arrow breaking through the air came rapidly.
Gu Beiheng held Su Qi in his arms to prevent her from moving, and also sent a signal not to enter the space.
Su Qi was held tightly in Gu Beiheng's arms, unable to move. Her little heart couldn't stand the stimulation. What if it was pierced?
The crossbow arrow shot diagonally to the rear.
"Hahaha. Good eyesight, but I'm going to eat all your food." A one-eyed man jumped out from the back.
At the same time, many men armed with bows and machetes appeared around the open space.
Like the one-eyed man, they were both wearing shorts and fur jackets that wrapped around their sturdy bodies.
A comparison.
The Dashun State's official team is a bit underwhelming.
At least he lost in terms of body shape.
It's obvious that the officers usually eat too much and don't exercise, while the one-eyed man and his men are so strong.
The officer in the middle didn't take the one-eyed man seriously, sizing him up with disdain. "How dare you rob the government grain? You're committing a heinous crime that could annihilate your entire clan."
The one-eyed man didn't care and didn't hesitate at all.
"I am one of the same clan. Come and destroy me if you dare."
Behind the one-eyed dragon are bandits who rob and loot. The well-being of the tribe members has nothing to do with them.
They were in dire straits and no one from their tribe came to their aid.
Who cares about genocide?
"Boss, we robbed them of their silver and food, and killing these soldiers will cover our losses." People without shoes have a natural hostility towards soldiers. "I'd rather die on my silver."
The one-eyed man raised his sword, his eye gleaming with murderous intent. A voice like a bell rang out, "Kill him!"
The battle between the two sides began.
Su Qi and Gu Beiheng looked at each other, unaware of the oriole behind them.
This is a good time to harvest grain.
Gu Beiheng took advantage of the cover of night and walked over with Su Qi in his arms. He put the food on the carriage into the space.
The two sides were fighting fiercely over there and had no time to care about here.
Gu Beiheng easily dealt with several officers and soldiers who were guarding the grain.
The two hid beside the carriage.
The carriages were unloaded and stacked in rows. Su Qi moved her hands and they all disappeared.
The two of them immediately disappeared into space.
Someone happened to look up and see the missing food, and was so frightened that he almost swallowed his tongue. "Boss, there's something fishy about the food."
This man failed at this critical moment and was cut in the neck by the one-eyed man's side.
Before he collapsed, he couldn't believe what he saw.
The head rolled around several times before it stopped.
"Damn it. What a waste." The man who chopped people spat, picked up the knife and started a new round of fighting.
Su Qi and Gu Beiheng came out of the space.
Looking at the two groups of people still fighting at the scene, they smiled at each other and left.
More than a dozen people from the one-eyed man's side ran over and tried to harness the horses to the carriage, so that they could quickly grab some food and leave.
A dozen people came to the open space.
A row of officers and soldiers slept on the ground.
Look at the open space again.
The carriage disappeared.
Only the wheel marks on the ground remained, nothing else.
A dozen people looked at each other in disbelief at what they saw.
So you just hit me alone?
Where is the food?
Where is the silver?
Where is the carriage?
"Boss, there is no food." A small leader among a dozen people shouted in a shrill voice.
The one-eyed dragon was in a fierce battle with the chief of the government when he heard a fatal roar from his own men.
His heart began to beat rapidly, and he glared at the officer who was fighting with him and roared, "Your mother and father. You dare to lie to me? I'll kill you, you bastard."
The government officials were also puzzled. Could it be that the grain was taken away without any noise?
But I didn't have time to think about it and just tried my best.
The civil servant hiding in the jungle behind quietly poked his head out.
Patting his chest with an anxious look on his face, he pulled his attendant beside him and whispered, "These evil bandits are too fierce. Let's collect more silver. Just say that they stole it all."
The attendant beside him nodded and said, "Sir, fortunately I took two boxes of silver ingots first. There should be two thousand taels of silver in one box." The two men lay in the grass, with their hats on their heads slightly exposed in the grass.
The sounds of fighting outside drowned out the two people's whispered conversations.
Next to them was a thick bundle and two wooden boxes.
Su Qi and Gu Beiheng fell behind the two of them.
He looked at the two of them as if they were idiots.
Su Qi squatted down and poked the man in the official hat with her finger. "Hey. Did you only take four thousand taels of silver? I see your appetite is not enough, right?"
"Can I tell you whether it will stop or not?" the man replied impatiently.
Then it was like the pause button was pressed.
Only his eyeballs moved, and the expression of the attendant beside him turned cold. Just as he was about to move his hand, Gu Beiheng broke it with force, "Don't move. I won't hold back."
The long-servant opened his mouth in pain, and his jaw was removed by Gu Beiheng again, so he could only let out a low cry of "ah ah ah".
Gu Beiheng stared coldly at the man in the official hat and said in a deliberately hoarse voice, "If you dare to shout, your head will be broken like your hand."
The attendant didn't dare to shout anymore.
"You bold lunatic, do you know that killing an official of the current dynasty is a capital crime? And you even want to implicate your family and clan members." The official trembled unconsciously, and his voice trembled.
I was pretty scared.
A forehead full of sweat in the middle of winter.
Su Qi chuckled, "No matter what the crime is, you will not live to see it."
Su Qi tapped his cheek with the dagger in her hand.
His voice grew cold. "Why is there so little food for disaster relief?"
Su Qi and Gu Beiheng took a look just now and realized that if the food provided by the imperial court was disaster relief, it shouldn't be so little.
The official's face looked pale in the night. He bit his lip and said, "All the food is here. There is another batch of food that has been transported by water, and it is still behind."
Su Qi clicked his tongue several times.
The voice became more and more severe, and the dagger in his hand slapped harder.
"Do you think we're fools?" Su Qi stabbed the official's cheek with the tip of the dagger, blood seeping out of the tip. "Blood is black, so it seems your heart is black too."
Su Qi whispered viciously, "There's only a hundred dan of grain here at most. The imperial court mobilized a large army for disaster relief, and they only get a hundred dan of grain? Do you think the people are blind?"
"There's more behind, there really is more behind." The official didn't even dare to touch the color of his blood.
I felt a little damp and hot in my pants.
I was so scared that a stream of liquid came out.
There was a strong smell of anger in the air.
Su Qi stood up and kicked the man a few times, then pinched his nose and put the two bags into the space.
Gu Beiheng stepped forward and used his hands to restore the dislocated bones in a few strokes. He only used it twice and covered the official's mouth.
The attendant beside him didn't dare to say a word.
What kind of evil spirit is this?
The means are so vicious.
"If you don't tell the truth, I will bury you alive." Gu Beiheng said coldly, pinching the official's chin.
The official's forehead was throbbing and his vision went dark.
"If you dare to faint, I will bury you alive now."
It was too scary, the official said coldly, biting his tongue to prevent himself from fainting.
He said with a mournful face, "Sir, please spare us. I didn't have any other choice. Before we even reached Hulu Mountain, the people from the old prince Rongshan came over."
Poor official, anyone he meets could crush him to death.
"The old prince's people said he needs this batch of grain." The official cried with tears on his face.
Gu Beiheng scolded impatiently: "Get to the point."
"Only fifty dan of this batch of grain is grain. The other fifty dan is rice bran, wheat bran, and the like." The official gritted his teeth and revealed everything. "The remaining one thousand four hundred dan of grain has been sent to the villa of the old prince Rongshan via another route."
