This simple sentence made Niu San feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and his already cold body began to shiver.
"I dare not deceive you, sir. I truly saw with my own eyes that there was a large amount of gold and silver inside!"
Lu Tu stepped forward and tied a slipknot in the horse's reins, then secured it with stones at the joints. With a wave of his hand, he commanded, "Light the fire!"
The moment the firewood behind the warhorses was lit, the intense flames caught everyone's attention.
Although the warhorses were trained, their fear of fire was ingrained in their very bones. In an instant, several warhorses galloped toward Hejia Village at an extremely fast speed.
