So the two broke up!
By the time Lin Ru arrived at the location, those people had already started packing up!
Because Lin Ru had instructed them before that whenever they encountered this situation, they should finish off the enemies after the battle ended, making sure not to leave a single survivor. Last time, they didn't believe her, and just as they were leaving, they were almost ambushed by a half-dead person!
So after this, everyone tacitly started finishing off the enemies, and those who didn't know what had happened asked the guys next to them and they all joined in the finishing off!
Lin Ru stepped forward and everyone greeted her happily!
"Miss Lin! You're back!"
"Greetings, Miss Lin!"
"Miss Lin, look how obedient we are this time!"
"Yes, Miss Lin, thank goodness. We were reminded by you last time, otherwise we would have suffered a great loss and lost another brother!"
Yes! Yes!
Lin Ru said with a smile, "After you finish off the enemy, remember to search the body!"
Everyone was smiling!
"I understand, Miss Lin. I found quite a bit of silver last time!"
"This time I'm going to search even more thoroughly!"
Lin Ru smiled and nodded, then began to examine what was inside the boxes in the carriages!
She went to the carriage where Yuan Fangqin and Yu Teng were sitting, searched carefully, and found a small box of gold and two boxes of silver!
There are approximately 900 taels of gold!
There are about 4,000 taels of silver!
And then there are some jewelry pieces!
There are some random bottles and jars!
Lin Ru put the gold and silver into her spatial storage, leaving all the jewelry and other items in the car!
Then she continued looking at the carriages behind and found that each of them contained about 1,000 taels of silver! Mixed in were some cloth, jewelry, antiques and other items!
Lin Ru wasn't interested in anything except silver; she put all the silver in the car into her spatial storage!
That's probably another ten thousand taels of silver!
Those fabrics, jewelry, and antiques, unless you meet a knowledgeable person, you can't use them as money!
After she put all the silver from the cars into her spatial storage, Ji Wenxuan returned with his men!
"Brother Ji, did you find anything?"
Ji Wenxuan shook his head helplessly.
"We didn't find anything, and we don't know where he put the box. We haven't even seen a trace of it!"
"Forget it, let's not think about it anymore. Let's hurry up and pull the carriage back!"
"Brother Ji! Something's strange. I just checked these carriages, and there was no silver inside, only some cloth, jewelry, and antiques!"
"Were they robbed?"
Ji Wenxuan was very surprised!
"What? Really? There's no money!"
Lin Ru blinked innocently!
"Yes, I was just a little curious, how much money could an official's wife like that have? I didn't expect her to have none at all!"
The brothers next to him heard this and began to speculate!
"Look, this group seems to be led by that woman. She's the official's wife. Where's the official?"
"It's possible that the money is all with that official. These two people may have separated, or they may have been separated by the refugees, which is why one side has food but no money, while the other side may have money but no food!"
Ji Wenxuan felt that this made a lot of sense. After all, that man was known for being cowardly and afraid of trouble. Since his wife had run away, he must have abandoned the city and fled!
"But it's not like we've come away empty-handed. This grain is enough for us to eat for a long time, and these bolts of cloth, let's take them back to Hongniang and the others, and let each of them buy a piece of clothing!"
"And these jewelry and antiques are also considered valuables. If they were to come across someone knowledgeable, they would certainly be worth a lot of money!"
As they were talking, a few more brothers came back pulling a horse-drawn carriage!
The horses were startled by the arrows and ran away pulling the carriage. The brothers just caught up with them!
There was some silver in these carriages, but mostly grain and the like!
The group pulled the carriage toward a small path known only to those inside the mountain stronghold; it was a path they had deliberately created specifically for transporting goods up there!
So they quickly returned to the mountain stronghold!
Hei Meng led the brothers from the mountain stronghold to stand at the entrance to welcome them!
He burst into laughter as soon as he saw them and walked over!
"Hahaha! Miss Lin! Second Master! You've finally returned! The village has prepared the best wine and food!"
"How is it? Is no one hurt?"
"How was the harvest this time? Did you leave any survivors?"
Ji Wenxuan smiled and pointed to the carriage behind him!
"We've retrieved everything. The brothers only suffered minor injuries and are fine. We didn't leave a single survivor. Boss, please rest assured!"
Hei Meng chuckled and patted him on the shoulder!
"I trust the Second Master to handle things, especially with Miss Lin by my side!"
"Let's go then, let's go inside and eat first!"
Lin Ru smiled, said nothing, and silently followed beside him inside.
Lin Ru's silence caught Ji Wenxuan's attention!
But with the leader holding him close, he didn't have time to ask her what information she had gotten from that woman!
Lin Ru was quickly surrounded by her mother and brothers!
They carefully examined Lin Ru and found no signs of injury except for a few bloodstains on her cuffs and collar.
Moreover, the cuffs and collar were clearly splattered with someone else's blood!
These people were immediately relieved!
"Thank goodness you're not hurt!"
"Next time you go out, you must take us with you. You have no idea how worried we've been at home!"
Lin Ru took Xiaoyue from Bai Shi's arms! She stroked its soft fur, heard its comfortable purring, and smiled with satisfaction!
After teasing Xiaoyue, she looked up and glanced around, but didn't see Bai Chengye or the others!
"Where are my maternal grandfather and Wu Ling?"
Bai patted her hand!
"Don't worry, they're all in the back hill. Didn't you say you wanted them to gather more wood? If they have time, it would be even better if they could make a few carts!"
"So they're currently rushing to cut down trees and make wooden barrels to hold water!"
"They want to get it done today, so that you can leave tomorrow if you want!"
Lin Ru nodded!
She did indeed mean that; the Prince of Shun was pursuing them too closely, and they had already been stuck in this place for a day, so they couldn't stay stagnant any longer!
However, if she were to leave, she couldn't just take the people of Shili Village with her!
If we're leaving, we'll take the entire mountain stronghold with us!
