Chapter 89: Prepare for Battle

Several people hid in an alley. The bald man was panting and sweating from exhaustion. Most of his anger had been dissipated in the chase.

He suddenly realized that now was not the time to look for Ma Laowu, and what he had to do now was to protect himself.

If he fell into the hands of those people, he would be in danger.

Even if they were rescued by the master and his men afterwards, it would be difficult to recover the goods.

Baldy felt that he could not afford such a huge loss, so what he had to do now was to quickly find the head of the family and report the matter.

He asked the head of the family to give him some advice on how to recover the goods. At the very least, he had to borrow the power of the Ji family to recover the goods. He would not accept this loss, and neither would the Ji family.

After making up his mind, the bald man calmed down, stood up, quietly left the alley, and headed towards the Ji family's old house.

Horse-faced man followed the bald man, so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe. He did whatever the bald man told him to do, and the same was true for the others.

Even the most calm people realized that something was wrong. They had not received any news about the major operation.

There were so many soldiers on guard duty on the streets, and they didn't receive any information at all. The target of this operation was basically clear.

Will this be a good ending for them?

The bald man led his people to a large mansion. The mansion was tall and wealthy, and one could tell at a glance that the people living inside were not simple people.

There are stone lions, horse posts and a small square in front of the gate of the leading courtyard.

Nowadays, if you dare to put a stone lion in front of your door, you must have some ability to be so arrogant.

After Xu Lin noticed this, he immediately used the Qi-reading technique, and after seeing this, Xu Lin exclaimed that he was a good guy.

The aura of riches told Xu Lin that there was no poor person in this estate and that every household was wealthy.

It’s a pity that Xu Lin didn’t know the history of this county town, otherwise she would know that everyone living here has the surname Ji.

Xu Lin chose a direction with the most concentrated precious energy and moved forward. With the help of the magic talisman, she moved very fast and reached the destination in just two or three minutes.

Xu Lin climbed over the wall and entered the yard, which immediately caused a burst of dog barking. It turned out that the good guys were not just one dog, but several vicious dogs.

Almost at the same time as the dog barked, several figures rushed out of the room, and the leader shouted,

"Who are you? Come out quickly, I'm watching you."

They looked around vigilantly, and one of them even rushed to the doghouse to check.

"Little thief, stop hiding. You've been exposed." The man continued to deceive.

Xu Lin curled her lips. She also came to the dog's kennel and without saying a word, she used a silver needle to shut the dog's mouth.

As the barking of the dog disappeared, the men did not return to the house. Instead, they walked around and found nothing unusual before returning to the house.

Xu Lin found that they did not sleep after entering the house, but scattered around the room.

There were clearly only a few of them in the room, so why were they standing in such a strange position?

This position is like taking a walk.

Xu Lin narrowed her eyes, thought for a while, and began to use the space black hole to check the situation underground.

I want to see what they are guarding.

As one black hole after another appeared and disappeared, Xu Lin finally made a discovery.

There was actually a ten-square-meter secret room in the basement of this compartment, with five people sitting in it.

The oldest was in his sixties or seventies, and the youngest was in his thirties. They all looked heavy-hearted.

"Grandpa, something is wrong this time. We didn't get any information beforehand." Ji Chuan said in a deep voice.

"Something is wrong. I called your uncle but couldn't get through. I'm afraid this is a bad sign."

Old Master Ji stroked his beard, his brows were twisted into knots, and his wrinkled face was full of heaviness.

He just couldn't figure out what went wrong.

The other people also looked unhappy. They whispered to each other, trying to guess what had happened.

At the same time, we are also evaluating the possibility of something happening to the Ji family.

At this moment, Ji Chuan suddenly lay on the ground and looked carefully, with his ears pressed to the ground. Soon his face changed drastically and he whispered:

"Grandpa, it's bad. I heard dense footsteps running towards us. I'm afraid it's..."

His face was filled with fear. "I'm afraid a large force has been dispatched."

The other four people in the room jumped up in surprise, even the head of the Xiu family, who was in his sixties or seventies, jumped three feet high.

You can't tell at all that he is a man whose half body is buried in the earth.

"Are you really heading to the Ji family?"

"How is it possible? We have someone above us in the Ji family."

"Yes, that's not possible. The second brother is the second in command of the municipal party committee, and the fifth brother is the top leader of the county. If something really happened, they would not have failed to notify us."

"Yes, it's impossible not to inform us!"

The four of them said it was impossible, but the fear on their faces did not diminish at all.

Family members know their own affairs, and they know very well that if something happens to their family, it would be a heinous crime.

It's over, it's over! The head of the Ji family sat down on the chair, his face pale, as if he had seen a ghost.

Ji Chuan stood up from the ground and brushed off the dust on his body. His expression was not much better than the others, but he was young and full of blood after all.

He looked at the other four people, especially his grandfather, the head of the family. At this moment, Ji Chuan felt that his grandfather was really old and could no longer do well.

I can no longer shoulder the responsibilities of the head of the household.

Now it's his turn to take action.

Ji Chuan cleared his throat and coughed. Seeing that no one else noticed, he raised his voice and said loudly:

"Now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to fight. Let's quickly notify every household and prepare for battle."

"Fight?" Patriarch Ji looked at his most satisfied grandson with a wry smile on his face and asked:

"No matter how powerful our Ji family is, we are not stronger than the army. How long do you think we can last?"

"We can hold out as long as we can. Our Ji family is not unprepared. As long as we drive through the blockade, we will have a chance to escape to the island country, right?"

Ji Chuan stared at the head of the Ji family seriously, "Grandpa, the weapons stored in our Ji family's warehouse are not for display.

Our chances of getting out are too great.”

The head of the Ji family was stunned by what he said, while the others were delighted. Not to mention that this was also a way out.

In short, as long as they are not caught, they will have no worries about their future.

The Ji family is a wealthy family with not only a presence in the island country but also personnel in the port city. The most important thing for them now is to rush out.

Thinking in this way, everyone quickly regained their spirits and became full of energy.

Xu Lin, who was eavesdropping, tilted his head. What the hell? They still have a lot of weapons stored in the Ji family warehouse.

It is a weapon that can be used to fight against regular troops. That is not acceptable. It must be taken away.

Even if they are left to gather dust in a warehouse, we cannot allow the Ji family to use the weapons to cause chaos.

Xu Lin turned around and left without saying a word. She wanted to put away her weapon first.

Weapons and swords, sharp weapons, Xu Lin muttered silently in his heart, and his little hands kept calculating.

It didn't take long for her to figure out the location of the weapons, and Xu Lin ran to the armory without saying a word.
