A dark glint flashed in the woman's eyes: "It's probably... around 70,000 to 80,000 jin."
The third leader was shocked. "There are actually seventy or eighty thousand catties left?"
Xie Xiao smiled and said, "Alright, let's go move his."
Later, Xie Xiao asked the female spy a few more questions and ordered her to be kept in the cell.
After the female spy entered the cell, a gray figure ran over. The woman said something to the man, and he quickly left...
This is Ziyang Peak.
Li Ruo, who hadn't had a good night's sleep in a long time, slept until the sun was high in the sky and was dreaming of counting gold and silver jewels.
I was suddenly awakened by a series of urgent knocks on the door.
She yawned as she opened the door, angrily asking, "What is it?" She was still half asleep; even her own mother gave her a cold shoulder.
"Sister, hurry up and see who those people are!" Li Yi pulled her and rushed up the tower.
Li Ruo woke up halfway and looked through the binoculars. She saw a boat coming from the water's edge halfway up the mountain, and a large group of people getting off the boat.
"Don't panic, it must be some wealthy family."
Hmm? A wealthy family? They sent her a treasure?
Li Ruoquan woke up.
She also saw someone making contact with them, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Miss Qiu. So she wasn't dead after all.
Li Ruo became somewhat interested.
A telescope is a great tool; even though it's cloudy and not raining today, I can see quite clearly.
They seemed quite excited, and Miss Qiu's hand even looked like it was pointing in her direction.
Li Ruo immediately instructed her grandmother, sister-in-law, and younger brother not to go out. She then took five bows and arrows, five quivers, and several bulletproof vests from the storeroom and calmly walked out.
"Old Wang, get everyone assembled quickly." Li Ruo gave each of the four guards a piece of soft armor and tossed one to Liao Fusheng. "Soft armor, impervious to swords and spears, put it on quickly."
Under Liao Fusheng's flickering gaze, she instructed Zhou the hunter to lead the men to set mousetraps, while the Ziyang Women's Group stayed behind to protect the women and children.
Those people were fast, and they didn't even take the main road leading to Black Wind Village, but went straight to the path leading to Purple Sun Peak.
Do you think she's easy to bully because she's outnumbered?
The enemy force was large and imposing, with nearly a hundred guards leading the way, which was considered a lot for an ordinary wealthy family in the Great Yin Dynasty.
Only powerful princes like the Prince of Runan and the Prince of Jiangning would have their own personal guards.
"Stop! This is a private residence. Don't take another step!" Old Wang shouted.
A man emerged from the group. He was probably not even thirty yet, and he looked quite presentable. His clothes were also very neat, befitting a wealthy family with a boat.
He saw that Li Ruo had people and weapons, so he waved his hand to stop the people behind him.
It seems they're planning to start with the softer approach.
Miss Qiu, that bitch, followed closely behind, on the verge of tears, "Brother Zhen, it's her, Li Ruo, who was abandoned by Song Zhijing. She stole all our things."
Li Ruo smiled and said, "Oh, you dare to come back? Did you find someone to back you up?"
"Miss Li." The man smiled slightly, his eyes constantly scanning Li Ruo and the house behind her.
“I am the eldest son of the Zhen family. We did not mean to cause trouble. It is just that the Qiu family is an old friend of the Zhen family. They have asked us for a favor, and we cannot sit idly by.”
"The Zhen family?" That name sounds familiar.
A woman appeared behind the man, grabbing Miss Qiu's hand. "Don't be afraid, my older brother will back you up. Li Ruo, don't you recognize me?"
Ha, another "acquaintance".
Li Ruo recognized her immediately. Wasn't this Miss Zhen from the jewelry family who had "gifted" her a gold hairpin from the Prince of Runan's mansion?
Miss Zhen said, "Brother, I heard that she is no longer the prefect's wife, and the general's mansion is gone. So why should we be polite? Let's just kick them out, and this house will be ours."
At first, the Zhen family did not believe that the flood would last so long, so they went to the small hillside next to the village to take refuge. However, the water level was so high that they had to go to the high mountains. The family was settled in the north mountain, but they did not have enough food and were exploited by Song Zhijing. The eldest brother had no choice but to lead his thugs to plunder everywhere.
It was Song Zhijing who suggested that he come to General Mountain.
Unexpectedly, I ran into Miss Qiu on the road. She said there was a house there, which belonged to that good-for-nothing Li Ruo!
She hasn't washed her hair for days. If we take over her house, she can finally wash her hair and get a good night's sleep.
"You're ugly, but you've got pretty dreams," Li Ruo laughed. "Your good friend Miss Qiu must have been hiding a lot from you, right?"
Otherwise, why would they come here so rashly?
They had no idea what her background was like at Ziyang Peak.
Miss Qiu shuddered and hid behind the Zhen family members.
"What are you hiding?" Miss Zhen didn't take Li Ruo seriously at all, she just wanted to wash her hair, her eyes wide open, "Li Ruo, your Li family has fallen on hard times, and the Song family doesn't want you anymore, how dare you be so arrogant?"
Young Master Zhen pushed his sister back a little and forced a smile, "Miss Li, our Zhen family has many members and great influence, why do you want to make things difficult for yourself?"
His gaze fell on Li Ruo's face. "Such a beautiful girl, I can't bear to hurt you. How about this, you let me in, and after the flood, I won't mind that you've been married before. I'll take you as my third concubine."
"Brother—what's wrong?"
Young Master Zhen raised his hand. "I, Zhen Huan, am a man who cherishes women. How could I bear to see such a delicate young lady homeless and destitute? Li—"
"roll!"
The voice didn't come from Li Ruo, but from Liao Fusheng next to her. As he spoke, he even shot an arrow.
Then a loud "Ouch!" was heard as Young Master Zhen clutched his leg and howled, "My toe! My toe has been hit by an arrow!"
The Zhen family members: ...
Li Ruo was also greatly surprised. Wow, her cousin could actually shoot arrows. What else did he know about her?
