Chapter 4 (2/2)

”Ha ha, I'm very grateful the Crown Prince hadn't abandoned me, he had even given me such a heavy responsibility!” Gu Hai laughed, before suddenly speaking in a low voice, ”Unfortunately, I still have not completed the Crown Prince's task. If the Crown Prince doesn't see the herbs, this Gu is going to be in big trouble!”

While talking, Gu Hai intentionally raised his right hand, as if he inadvertently exposed the ring on his right index finger.

This ring was a jade ring which Gu Hai had bought in the past. Its whole body was made up of high-grade Hetian Jade. It was quite expensive, but for Gu Hai, it was naturally nothing!

The fourth brother among the five members of the Feral Wolf Squad was the fencer for the Black Wind Camp. He had a knack for understanding rare treasures, with one glance he noticed that Gu Hai's ring was worth a lot; it was certainly extraordinary, something that some ordinary people could not possess.

The fourth brother whispered to the other four, his words clearly indicating that the ring was worth a lot!

The Feral Wolf Squad's five members once again glanced at the still calm Gu Hai. Suddenly, they believed at least eighty percent of Gu Hai's words. Even though, because of the value of the ring, they still held a hint of greed, but once they thought of the Imperial Guards coming straight towards them, they immediately suppressed their greed. After all, life was more important than wealth!

”Mister Gu, do you have any plans? If in a short while you're unable to join others, it might be better to go and sit in our place. We will definitely serve mister well!” The Feral Wolf Squad's Captain said. He wanted to invite Gu Hai to the Black Wind Camp. After all, this was not the Black Wind Camp's site. If they arrived at the Black Wind Camp, whether it was the enemy or friends, they would have to follow their wishes.

”Thank you for your kindness. However, this Gu is duty bound to remain here. If I can't find those herbs, this Gu  won't be able to explain himself to the Crown Prince.” Gu Hai respectfully declined the invitation, ”To tell you the truth, King Chen will probably not last long. If Gu is unable to find those herbs early, then the Crown Prince will have to ascend to the throne!”

”That! Then I and the others say goodbye in advance.” The five members of the Feral Wolf Squad took a glance at each other before deciding not to provoke someone who was probably one of the Crown Prince's retinue. So they prepared to leave!

Gu Hai cupped his hands and said, ”Gentlemen, goodbye! If opportunity precedes in the future, you can look for me in the Royal Capital.”

”Good, if there is an opportunity, we will definitely go. However, Mister, if by chance you have some time, please come to the Black Wind Camp. And please keep this token. With the help of this, mister can freely enter the Black Wind Camp!” The Feral Wolf Squad's Captain handed a bronze token to Gu Hai. On one side of the bronze token, 'Black Wind' was engraved. This was the proof of the Black Wind Camp!

”I could ask for nothing more!” Gu Hai accepted the token.

”Then we will take our leave!” The five people simultaneously cupped their hands, turned around and left. One of them picked up the already dead tiger on his shoulder, and the five of them rushed down the mountain!

Watching the five leave, Gu Hai turned around and looked at the dumbfounded Tang Chu. He smiled and said, ”Let's go, the problem is already resolved!”

Finally, Tang Chu woke up from his shock. He asked in surprise, ”Uncle Gu, are you truly the Crown Prince's retinue? Did you really came to find herbs for the Crown Prince?”

”Ha ha, don't you know, I have never even heard of the Chen Empire's Crown Prince's name before today, how can I find herbs for him!” Gu Hai laughed and said.

”So, how does Uncle Gu know so much? Even Crown Prince is searching herbs for the King Chen?” Tang Chu was still suspicious!

”That's what the five men told me! I never said anything.” Gu Hai said.

”Ah! Now I understand. Uncle Gu you bluffed them. And they foolishly acted in sync with Uncle Gu unknowingly!” Tang Chu seemed to understand.

”Ha ha, truly so.” Gu Hai laughed and said, ”However, we should also leave now. Let's talk about it after we've descended down the mountain!”

So the two people then walked towards the foot of the mountain...
