C338 A bunch of bastards (2/2)

Gradually, the ground of the valley began to disappear. Large patches of reeds began to appear, and the air was filled with the smell of fish.

West Riding Pool was almost there.

When it was almost eight o'clock, Jiang Xiaobai climbed up a huge tree that was over thirty meters tall, and looked north.

And sure enough, about a kilometer ahead of them, there was a wide expanse of water shining silver in the moonlight. Next to it was a wasteland hundreds of meters away, with a few dilapidated adobe houses, two tents, and what had once been a stable.

However, the stable was empty. There didn't seem to be a single horse.

Jiang Xiaobai laughed, it seemed that he had suddenly barged in a few days ago. After Brother Qiang stole a horse, all of the remaining horse dealers ran away.

However, as long as the stable was still there, the Portal of Space-time was still there.

Jiang Xiaobai jumped down from the tree and started running in the direction of the stable.

After around ten minutes, Jiang Xiaobai arrived near the stable. Just as he was about to find the exit of the stable and pass through it to return, he suddenly heard an angry roar coming from inside a grey house in front of him.

”This is so infuriating! They're just a bunch of robbers. If they don't even leave us with a single strand of hair, how are we going to survive?”

”Sixteen horses and three cows, it's just five taels of silver, and it's even more of a purchase. Ha!”

”I can't take it anymore. Since they don't want to leave us any hope of survival, then I will fight them to the death!”

”Right, killing one is enough, killing two will earn one!”

”We can't kill them. Tomorrow, we'll go to the city and report them!”

”sue him? ”They are the troops that went to the north to exterminate the bandits. As usual, they eat in the wild. They don't even have a temper towards you for nothing, not to mention that they even gave you five taels of silver!”

”They are also called the army. They are so poor that they can't even wear pants anymore. I hope they can recover their Yi Zhou and dream on! ”

There were at least five or six people inside, all of them swearing and discussing their revenge plans, but they couldn't come to a consensus.

Outside the adobe room, Jiang Xiaobai became more and more angry the more he heard about it.

The Xiang Army they were talking about, could it be Chang Zilong's army?

Five taels of silver had bought sixteen horses and three cows. What was the difference between this and robbery?

This is too much, if this kind of army were to travel all the way to the Yi Zhou, how many villages would be harmed along the way, and how many citizens would be displaced?

Was it an army that the commoners wished they would die an early death for, or an army that they needed?

No, he had to go over and take a look. He had to warn Chang Zilong that such a thing couldn't happen again.

Thinking about it, Jiang Xiaobai circled around the adobe room and continued to rush towards the north.

After around 10 minutes, when Jiang Xiaobai climbed up another big tree to the north, he was infuriated by what he saw.

There were tens of families in the small village four or five hundred meters in front of them. They were completely surrounded and occupied by Xiang Army, and thousands of torches were set against the orange sky, as Xiang Army soldiers continuously entered and exited the farmhouse. The miserable cries of chickens and dogs were mixed with the crying sounds of the farmers.

”A bunch of bastards!”
