Chapter 446 (2/2)
Eleven robbers. Just within minutes of their encounter, two were incapacitated, one was dead. Eight now surrounded Shao Xuan and Guang Yi. Out of the four around Guang Yi, one suddenly charged at Shao Xuan.
A flash passed his waist. If Shao Xuan hadn’t dodged quick enough, the sword would have pierced right through him. However, while Shao Xuan dodged it, the bag he carried was cut.
Before Shao Xuan caught the bag flying in the air, several silhouettes rushed forward to block him, another used his sword to knock the bag away. It landed in one of their hands.
Nearby, there was another bull carriage approaching. It was a carriage heading towards King City with guards escorting it. There were many guards like this now. If they saw that a carriage from the Golden GRain fields was being robbed, they’d definitely come help.
“Go!!”
Seeing someone approach, these people did not hesitate to leave their fake carriage and the half-dead bull, disappearing like lightning. In a blink, they’d already run off in a distance. When the other carriage arrived, they were gone.
Guang Yi panicked and chased after the bag but Shao Xuan pulled him back.
“They can take it. Don’t chase after them.”
“But, inside…”
“There are no seeds inside, no Thousand Grain Gold,” said Shao Xuan.
“Isn’t that the bag you’re always carrying around?” asked Guang Yi.
“Yes but it’s just a bag. I’ve switched out the things inside.”
When he heard this, he finally calmed down. “Then what’s inside?”
“I got some good stuff from the butler before we left.”
At the Golden Grains fields, when it heard the other bull’s cry, Ji Ju’s ‘Yellow Earth’ wanted to sprint out immediately. Its brother was bullied, as the boss of this area, of course it had to come protect its brother.
If it wasn’t for Ji Ju, who was out for a meal, standing at the gate, the field’s gates would have been bashed open by the bull.
Ji Ju did not let Yellow Earn out but let his butler send their men over. This was ridiculous! Who dared rob a carriage owned by the Golden Grain fields?!
The butler was furious too. He had just guaranteed Shao Xuan’s safety and this happened. This was a slap to his face!
However, when their men arrived, the robbers had already sensed this and left. If it wasn’t for the rubble on the floor and the cries of their bull (who sounded like it was telling on the robbers), they would’ve thought nothing happened.
There were no clues on the dead robber.
In an inconspicuous yard within King City, two guards hurried into the house.
“Young Master, Master Yuan…”
Before the guard finished, there were hurried footsteps approaching. The doors burst open with a kick.
“Ji Yuan, what the hell are you trying to do?!” roared Ji Jing, seeing the newcomer.
Several people stepped forward to protect Ji Jing.
Ji Yuan looked at the men around Ji Jing, then glared at her. “The roads had already been blocked off, yet you dare send your men to rob Shao Xuan?!”
Panic flashed in her eyes but she suppressed her fears. “What nonsense is that? I did not send anyone. “
“You did not send your men, you borrowed someone else’s authority!”
“Shut up, weren’t you thinking of getting the bag too? Or how would you know what happened”
Both of them argued but another person rushed in, panting.
Ji Jing’s eyes shone with excitement when she saw the person. Before she spoke, Ji Yuan acted first to snatch the bag hidden in the other person’s clothing.
“Ji Yuan, you dare take my stuff!” Ji Jing snatched the bag over with her guards.
They fought for the bag. Somehow, someone tugged on a string peeking out of the bag.
Poof!
Like a cannon, everything inside exploded.
The house was not large. In a second, the pungent smell of organic fertiliser filled the room, powder splattered on every person.
There was a heavy smell of manure and farm in the house.
Ji Yuan, holding the bag: “...”
Ji Jing, splattered with manure: “...”
Everyone else, face turning green: “...”
