When that person said that, everyone else burst into laughter.
Upon closer inspection, each of them was carrying a considerable amount of grain and valuables.
Some of the bags were stained with blood.
Lin Qixia frowned as she watched this scene.
After they had all left, she murmured with a complicated expression, "They were bandits."
