Once the soldiers' attention was drawn to Jia Yi and his group, Jiang Bai chose a good spot, threw on a climbing rope, and rushed up the city wall like a ghost.
A soldier spotted her, but before he could even shout, she twisted his lower leg and broke all four of his limbs.
At this moment, Ji Yanwen and Ming Yu also climbed up from below.
"Walk."
Jiang Bai whispered something, completely ignoring the battle between Jia Yi and the soldiers, and then floated down with the two of them, slowly approaching the Changping Granary in the county town, following the shadows in the city.
"This batch of grain amounts to two million shi (a unit of dry measure), and the Wang family will definitely send a large force to guard it."
"This is the entrance to the warehouse."
Ji Yanwen took out a map he had drawn in his pocket, compared it with the actual map, and pointed in a direction.
Mingyu looked at Jiang Bai.
Jiang Bai looked in the direction of the warehouse and tapped his finger.
"There were two hundred people around the warehouse alone, and dozens of archers were lying in ambush on the surrounding houses."
"There are also guards inside, about two hundred men."
Changping Granary was a place specifically for storing the county's grain. It was quite large and could easily accommodate several hundred people.
Even because the official grain of Nan'an County was robbed, the little grain left in the Changping Granary was handed over, and now it is completely empty.
That's why the Wang family dared to put their grain into the Changping Granary.
After all, no one could have imagined that there would still be grain in the long-empty Changping Granary.
"With so many people, if we were to rob the grain, we might alert them."
Mingyu frowned.
No matter how strong Jiang Bai is, it's impossible for him to take down so many people in an instant.
Especially since these people are scattered throughout Changpingcang, even if they don't resist, it will still take them some time to travel.
"Don't worry."
Jiang Bai patted Ming Yu's shoulder lightly, took out several specially made masks, and gestured for the two of them to put them on.
Then she sensed the distribution of people around her, chose a relatively moderate spot, took out a bamboo tube from her bosom, uncorked it, and carefully placed the bamboo tube on the ground.
As the stopper was pulled out, the bamboo tube, hidden in the darkness, began to emit smoke.
The smoke was enveloped by the darkness of the night, and the surroundings were completely dark, without a single ray of light, so those hiding nearby naturally could not find them.
The Chen residence.
Master Chen knelt respectfully in the study. In front of him, a burly man sat in a chair, toying with a sharp dagger in his hand.
He looked at Master Chen with amusement, a cold smile playing on his lips.
"The Sixth Young Master disappeared after coming here, and you think you can just say you don't know anything and that's it?"
The man had a scar that ran from his brow to his right cheek, and half of his eye was destroyed and covered with a piece of cloth.
His face was full of fierceness, which made people feel intimidated.
Cold sweat dripped from Master Chen's forehead. Hearing this, he trembled as he explained, "Sixth Young Master left Nan'an County several months ago. I... I truly do not know where Sixth Young Master went."
He felt both fear and hatred.
Their Chen family also has an official in the capital. Even if they are not as powerful as the Wang family, how could they allow a servant to humiliate them like this?
He harbored resentment in his heart, but dared not show the slightest sign of it on his face.
Fortunately, this person hadn't come specifically for Wang Shaoyang, nor was he a sensitive person. He didn't notice the hatred in Wang Shaoyang's heart and sneered, "That's for the best."
Just as he finished speaking and was about to suggest that he find a pretty girl, he heard hurried footsteps outside the door.
"Sir, something has happened."
A guard pushed open the door and entered, his face full of solemnity.
"Someone is robbing the grain."
He suddenly stood up, and Master Chen only felt a cold wind blow by before the person in front of him disappeared.
At Changpingcang, the poisonous smoke Jiang Bai released knocked out many people, but perhaps because it was used in an open area, about a hundred people were not drugged.
“You go and load the grain, I'll deal with them.”
Jiang Bai rushed forward and knocked a guard unconscious with a single punch.
Mingyu and Ji Yanwen didn't say much. Ji Yanwen covered for Mingyu as he rushed into the granary.
This batch of grain had just been stored away and was intended to be given to the barbarians by the Wang family, so it was all neatly stacked in bags. Even so, Ming Yu had to place his hand on the bags in order to collect all the grain and put it into his spatial storage.
"Yanwen, you guard the door and make sure no one gets in."
Ji Yanwen nodded and let Ming Yu in alone.
The fighting outside grew increasingly intense, but Mingyu inside calmed down.
He calmly placed his hand on the grain sack, and with a thought, he stored it in his spatial storage.
Because he had alerted people, Jiang Bai had just dealt with the guards when new guards appeared.
She took a stick and placed it outside the door, her eyes fixed on what was ahead.
On the distant rooftops, a group of people suddenly appeared silently, their faces covered with black cloths, their eyes as still as deep wells.
"Wang family assassins."
She narrowed her eyes and tightened her grip on the stick.
These people glanced at her indifferently, then ignored her and headed straight for the warehouse.
Jiang Bai's expression changed slightly.
That bastard, there are too many people and the warehouse is too big; she can't protect it all by herself.
He cursed under his breath, but his hands didn't stop moving. He slammed the stick down hard on the assassin at the front.
A flicker of emotion crossed the assassin's eyes. He didn't flinch, but simply raised his hand, and a crossbow bolt from his sleeve shot towards Ji Yanwen inside the granary.
Jiang Bai slammed the stick in his hand down hard on the assassin's body, and the assassin immediately fainted.
Countless assassins charged forward relentlessly, ignoring Jiang Bai's attacks and focusing solely on rushing into the granary.
"Sir, aren't we going?"
Scarface had arrived at the scene long ago, but he was just watching from a distance and had no intention of making a move.
"Don't worry, there are a million bushels of grain inside. These few people can't take it away."
His face showed his true feelings, his gaze fixed on Jiang Bai, and he was shocked.
This thief is incredibly strong.
"Are you done yet? I can't hold on much longer."
More and more assassins were appearing in front of Ji Yanwen. His martial arts skills were not particularly high to begin with. Back then, only twenty assassins had managed to beat him and Jiang Bai half to death.
Now there are at least thirty or forty people rushing inside.
If he hadn't had his back to the door, he would probably be surrounded by enemies by now.
Yu, looking at the towering stack of grain in front of him, gritted his teeth.
The Wang family sent more people than they had imagined.
He didn't want to give up just like that.
Judging from Ji Yanwen's voice outside, he really couldn't hold on any longer.
Jiang Bai naturally heard Ji Yanwen's words, and immediately left the area outside, rushing into the granary before the assassins could get there.
He wielded the stick with incredible speed, sweeping away a large number of assassins in front of him and creating a vacuum.
"you……"
Ji Yanwen stared wide-eyed in surprise.
Aside from that one time when the two fought side by side, this was the first time he had seen Jiang Bai at his peak.
"Don't get distracted. If you do, you might not even get a single assassin."
Ji Yanwen's face darkened slightly. If you can't speak properly, then don't speak at all.
So what if he's not strong? He's not trying to become the top martial arts champion.
