C41 (1/2)
The sky was clear and clear. A few white clouds floated under the blue sky, looking like a giant cotton candy.
Yi Xiaoqiao stared at the cotton candy in the sky and kept gulping it down.
Damn it!
Didn't they say before they came that the rich men of the Greencloud Stronghold were covered in oil and gold? From her point of view, it wasn't just gold, it was dog shit! He was about to step on the other party's foot if he wasn't careful.
The bed was actually made of stone, and it hurt her entire body when she slept. What was even more depressing was that this mountain didn't even have food for her mouth, and this huge Green Cloud Stronghold was completely dependent on drinking wind to survive. She had not even eaten a mouthful of hot food yesterday and had already drunk two mouthfuls of cold water.
No wonder when it came to silver, Cui Huang and the bandits' eyes lit up. How could they not light up? They needed to repair this crappy place.
”He's back, he's back!”
Just as Yi Xiaoqiao was feeling dizzy from the hunger, a voice came from behind the tree. A man with a petite stature and agility like a monkey ran over.
Yi Xiaoqiao stood up and said, ”You're back. Is there anything to eat?”
She had brought a lot of steamed buns and dried rations with her, but she was distributed before even entering the village yesterday.
”Nope.” Skinny Monkey did not get annoyed after being stopped by Yi Xiaoqiao. Instead, he chuckled and said, ”There's money, three hundred taels. When the chief has seen it, I will go and buy it.”
Seeing the happy look on Qian Chao's face, he forgot about Yi Xiaoqiao's current identity.
Yi Xiaoqiao's little face lost all her interest and she squatted down to continue poking at the weeds on the ground. She couldn't eat silver nor was she tall if her stomach wasn't full enough to give her a mountain of gold and silver.
Qin Shiyun leisurely caught up to him. He glanced at Yi Xiaoqiao from the corner of his eyes, obviously confident that he could capture Yi Xiaoqiao.
”Tribe leader, take a look. Three hundred silver taels!” Skinny Monkey took off his bundle and placed it on the ground. A few silver ingots rolled out from within the bundle, shining in the sunlight.
Cui Chen picked it up and examined it. He nodded his head in satisfaction and asked, ”From where?”
”Qin Feng's Divine Divination had calculated that there was wealth in the East. Under the earth, we went to the mountain and dug out a bundle containing several hundred taels of silver. The divine divination is truly accurate!”
”Isn't it too godly to dig out money so easily?” Someone whispered.
”That's right, we don't need to fight over it anymore. We can just go and dig it out!”
The bandit began to discuss in a low voice.
Yi Xiaoqiao glanced at the expression on Qin Shizhen's face and thought to himself, ”It's not that strange for a mountain to dig out gold and silver ore, but for you to dig out silver ingots …”
He's lying to a ghost!
”How is it, little girl? Do you still want to compete with me?” Qin Lang stroked his beard as he raised his eyebrows to look at Yi Xiaoqiao. His eyes were brimming with vigor and were suffused with a black and cold light.
Just the few villages at the foot of the mountain, he had already changed. Those were all the sound of poor people clinking, three hundred taels of silver. Unless she went to snatch away the big families in Yu City, she would definitely not be able to win against her.
Yi Xiaoqiao slowly stood up and looked Qin Lang in the eye. She spat out the roots that had no water in them and said, ”It's only three hundred taels, yet you are all so happy. Your world is too low.”
”Oh? Hearing your words, you have something better? ” Cui Chen came over, looking at her with his single eye, full of expectation.
Yi Xiaoqiao was scared from one of his eyes staring at her. She rolled up his eye patch and said, ”Your eyes are not the same color as your face. Do you know that?”
It wasn't like he was blind or pretending to be a one-eyed dragon.
”Stop talking, what other good stuff do you have? Tell me, if you can't work it out, we're going to get married tonight. Qin Shizhe told you, you wannabe.”
Your head!
He really wanted to pry open his head. How could he believe Wangf's words?
Such superstition did not make him look like a hero who robbed rich and poor. He was just like a common bandit that had not been enlightened.
”If you want to get the news of the treasure from me, that's fine too, but you have to promise me. First, you can't have any ideas about me. Second, I want to buy shares in your Greencloud Stronghold.”
”Investing?”
”I want to be a bandit with all of you, but I don't want to be your wife. I want to be a hero, and none of you are allowed to bother with me.”
”Sure, if you can lead my brother and live a good life, not to mention being a female hero, I'll ask Chen Congzhou to give you his chair.”
Having been called out, Chen Congzhou felt not in a good mood, ”Stronghold Chief, this isn't a good arrangement. Why don't you give your chair to her?”
”I can give it to her, but aren't you third?”
Chen Xianwu was speechless and made a compromise.
”What other requests do you have? I think so. ”
”Thirdly, we should capture this man first and deal with him after I win.”
”Hey, chief, I just brought you three hundred silver taels!”
Qin Lang turned around and ran. Zhang Mo kicked him with his foot, knocking him onto the ground. ”Tie him up. Don't let him get away.”
Qin Lang glared at Yi Xiaoqiao as a hidden killing intent flashed in his eyes.
Cui Chen strode in front of him, saying, ”Qin Shizhe, I'll have to inconvenience you, but you can rest assured that if she loses, I'll definitely tie her up like this and give her to you!”
Qin Lang stopped staring at Yi Xiao Qiao and took this loss.
”Yes, I have. Follow me.” Yi Xiaoqiao led the way down the mountain.
The Azure Cloud Mountain was located at the north of Yu City and was revered by the world because of the rumors about the gods and the bandits. Usually, there were not many people around and only one or two people could rob them.
