Chapter 227 (1/2)

The Robbery (2)

That’s right. The raids were never successful, which meant the Ai La Empire had conducted raids but could never wipe all of the robbers out!

After all, this mountainous area had a very complicated terrain so hunting down the mountain robbers who were familiar with the landscape was a very difficult task!

It made sense. The existence of these robbers and thieves had their purposes- at least to some people, it was very reasonable for them to be there!

The most powerful, influential people controlled one, two or many bands of thieves here. They attained their goals by force.

It wasn’t just because of money, but often for secrets that can never be revealed!

To pass through such a risky location, people would usually have guards with them unless they were very poor commoners.

And if they were aristocrats, they’d definitely have guards!

In a carriage sat a rich young man and a lady. There wasn’t anybody around the carriage, just the 3 people, including the coachman.

The carriage looked very old and worn out from the outside, but both the young aristocrats were wearing very luxurious clothing!

If they were disguising themselves as commoners, then they should’ve changed into something more regular. That way, they might have a chance against the robbers.

This meant that both had no intentions to hide their identity. Why would they want to come here alone, without any escorts? And why would they use such an old carriage?

It’s simple. You’ll see!

They weren’t just anyone, they were Ye Lang and his spirit girl. No one knew she was a reanimated spirit though, and Ye Lang had given it something a rich lady would wear.

Ye Lang had received many looks along the way, constantly attracting attention. Of course, it was the spirit girl that was turning heads.

Under regular circumstances, Ye Lang would call it Little Xin!

He seemed to give nicknames that started with ‘Little’...

“Sir, Ma’am, why didn’t you hire soldiers and bodyguards,” asked the coachman nervously. He was driving the carriage at top speed, terrified.

The coachman had never seen anyone who wouldn’t hire soldiers for a journey like this!

“We don’t need to. Don’t worry, if anything happens, we’ll be here to protect you!” said Ye Lang casually, while Little Xin sat next to him without moving, she was so calm!

Hmm. The coachman thought they were perhaps too calm!

Especially the girl, she didn’t move at all!

He didn’t know that without instructions from Ye Lang, she wouldn’t move even if the mountains fell unto her.
