Chapter 811: Chapter 811 Lion Camel Ridge (1)
....Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Zhou Ying did not hesitate to drug them and take all their silver.
She wanted to see if there were any other accomplices in Ping Yang Prefecture or if they would pillage or steal. She could deal with them openly if they dared to do that.
After breakfast the next day, Zhou Ying handed Guoguo over to Mrs. Lin to look after while she went to the study room and entered her inters.p.a.ce with the excuse of checking the accounts.
Through her Mother G.o.d Temples, she quickly found Master Liu and the others. At this time, the group had already set off as bodyguards. However, because the mask was too obvious, Master Liu had obviously put on a hat.
Zhou Ying took a look at their goods. A few fur mats were on top, but there were just stones on the bottom.
What shoddy disguises!
When they arrived at a small town, the group of people only realized that they had lost all their money after a meal.
Through wrangling, they had no choice but to give the shopkeeper a fox fur and exchange it for a certain amount of dry rations.
“Did you hear anything last night?” Master Liu asked after they left the town.
“No, I slept very soundly last night.” One of them replied.
The others echoed the same.
After Master Liu heard this, he remembered that he had slept quite soundly. He chuckled. “We’ve been hunting geese all day and finally got pecked in the eye by one.”
“You mean we were robbed?” A subordinate asked in disbelief.
While they weren’t on alert 24/7, they were definitely light sleepers.
No one realized that their money had been stolen. If they were to kill them, it was terrifying just thinking about it.
“Could it be someone from the government?” Someone asked uneasily.
“Stupid; if it were the government, they would have arrested us long ago.” Another subordinate replied.
“Master, what should we do now?” Another asked.
“When we reach the next county, sell all the furs and then go to the Lion Camel Ridge of Qian Province to set up an ambush.
“Be alert along the way and see if anyone is following us. If there is, try to catch them alive.”
“Yes.” Everyone responded and set off.
However, this time, they were much more on alert. The ten people surrounded the carriage, with the goods on the carriage as the center. At the same time, they were intently scanning the people coming and going.
After Zhou Ying knew their plan, she told Gu Chengrui about it and went to get busy.
At night, Zhou Ying was done with her work. Gu Chengrui was still awake. She brought him back to her inters.p.a.ce and asked, “What kind of place is Lion Camel Ridge? Are there bandits there?”
“Yes, I found a map today and asked the bodyguard agency. Lion Camel Ridge is the only road from the north to Qian Province, so there are many bandit nests now after the snow disaster.
“However, as long as the travelers paid the toll, they wouldn’t be robbed.
“Of course, there are many accidents, so…”
“They want to get rid of you for being a bandit.”
“That’s right. This way, it’ll be challenging to find them.”
“Got it. When will you arrive? I’ll be your eye in the sky then.”
“I plan to visit Chengsi tomorrow, so it will be about three days before we reach Lion Camel Ridge.
“How about this? I’ll let you know the day before we cross the Lion Camel Ridge.” Gu Chengrui continued, “I want to contact the nearby garrison and get rid of these bandits. Otherwise, it will be troublesome if Master Liu uses them.”
“They might be using those bandits.
“As long as they get to kill you, those bandits will have no choice but to go against the Imperial Court.”
“Yes, this is my concern, so we can’t let those bandits live either way.” Gu Chengrui nodded in agreement..
