Chapter 500: Besieged on All Sides (Nine)
On the Di Family’s side, they were carefully recounting the encounter with the bandits.
However, what he didn’t know was that at the mont, not far from the small town at the opening, there were more than one hundred people rushing in.
Each of these hundred people held a sharp blade in their hand, charging nacingly towards the small town.
They had just passed the opening when a group of horsen suddenly erged from the side and quickly engaged them in battle.
The combat was completely one-sided!
Quickly, the over one hundred people were completely subdued by the opposing group.
Above the opening, a figure clad in white stood with his hands behind him.
He raised his head and looked at the night sky, where a light rain was falling. This day was changing!
“Young Master, there are one hundred and thirty-two of them, and they have been wiped out. Please give us your instructions!” A man who looked like a gang leader quickly reported to the figure in white.
The figure turned around and casually surveyed the scene: “Leave a few n to deal with the traces carefully, and don’t cause unnecessary panic!”
“Yes, Young Master!”
The man quickly accepted the order and left.
“Wait.”
The figure in white suddenly called out to him: “Have you found out where these people ca from?”
“Reporting to the Young Master, our brothers have already found out. It seems that these people are dead soldiers trained by that guy, and as for the place where they were trained, our brothers are still investigating. Once we have news, we will report imdiately.”
“Hmm, there’s no need to report back. As soon as the location is found, utterly eradicate them, leaving no armor behind.”
“Yes!”
The man hurriedly took the order: “However…”
“Just say what you have to say, don’t stamr!” The figure in white rebuked impatiently.
Startled, the man quickly reported: “Yes! Our subordinates found out that this matter seems to be related to the Master…”
“Hmm? Are you sure?”
The figure in white raised his head and scanned the surroundings, taking in everything nearby.
“Good! Really good! It’s just too good! Co on, let’s go settle accounts with him!”
After saying that, he turned around and swiftly flew off into the distance.
“But… Young Master!”
The man was in shock and quickly chased after the vanishing figure.
Inside the Di Family ho.
Di Yelei carefully narrated everything that happened on the road to Liu Sisi and the rest.
Of course, he did not reveal that it was Nan Tianzong that ca to the rescue, but everything else he could tell Liu Sisi, he did.
Liu Sisi glanced at the people beside her, seeing the worried expressions on Ms. Gao and Granny Hu, she hurriedly waved for everyone to withdraw.
“You can all go now, make sure to recover well. Especially Er Niu, there’s no need for you to go to the county in the near future, just rest at ho.”
“Yes, Madam.”
Da Niu and Er Niu left the room with their heads hanging. Before leaving, Er Niu seed to want to say sothing but didn’t in the end.
“Ye Lei, where were Da Niu and Er Niu when you were injured?”
After the two left, Liu Sisi asked softly.
Di Yelei shook his head: “The situation was urgent at that ti, so I focused on dealing with the bandits and didn’t pay attention to what the two were doing. So…”
In fact, if it weren’t for Da Niu and Er Niu holding him back, he would have just escaped directly, and the situation wouldn’t have been so dangerous.
His escape skills were honed while hunting.
However, he understood that Sisi originally ant well by letting him bring Da Niu and Er Niu along. The outco could only be attributed to their physical weakness.
Besides, he was now a sub-captain, and it wouldn’t do to not have any servants around.
Liu Sisi thought for a mont, “What if I buy so more skilled servants to co back with us?”
If there were a few highly skilled martial artists to protect Ye Lei, such incidents might be prevented. They were lucky this ti to have encountered soone offering help, but they might not be so fortunate next ti.
Di Yelei shook his head, “No need! Sotis having too many people can be a burden. Just Da Niu and Er Niu accompanying is enough.”
If possible, he would rather not have any servants at all.
However, he did rember one thing. Old Tang seed to be quite old, yet he could still walk briskly. It seed he was no ordinary person.
But who exactly was he? Why was he hiding in that desolate and resourceless armory?
The two had their own thoughts and tossed and turned before finally falling asleep late at night.
The next day, before dawn had broken, Di Yelei left his house and headed straight for the pass.
Last night, three horses had died there, especially the jujube red horse that had been with him for many days. Now that it was dead, he should at least give it a proper burial.
But before that, he still needed to go to the governntal office.
Liu Sisi left the house with a heavy heart and went to the bookstore.
Along the way, from ti to ti, she heard people whispering as if discussing sothing.
As soon as she arrived near the bookstore, she saw Aunt Cao coming out of a small alley and grabbing her.
“Sisi! Sisi, co over here, quick!” Aunt Cao, who sold planed noodles, called her over.
“Grandma, aren’t you selling planed noodles today?” Liu Sisi hurriedly walked over with a smile.
Grandma pulled her behind herself and peeked her head out. She then spoke mysteriously.
“Sisi! You sure ca early today. By the way, has your husband gone to the county town today?”
Liu Sisi’s heart skipped a beat, but she kept a surprised expression on her face.
“He went to the county? Grandma, did sothing happen?”
“There was an incident at the pass by the county town! Have you heard? My, my… the people who ca back after seeing it said that there were rivers of blood and dead bodies everywhere! If only we knew who was so unlucky to be robbed of their fortunes and dignity, and then completely killed by the bandits!”
Aunt Cao shook her head and sighed as she spoke.
“Really? I haven’t heard of this incident. Grandma, who told you about the robbery and the dignity?”
“Who else has to tell ? Isn’t everyone saying this? Those bandits simply deserve to die, they’re utterly brutal and ruthless… Sisi, Sisi! Don’t you think so?”
Aunt Cao talked for quite a while before she realized Liu Sisi’s expression was off.
“Oh! Yes… that’s true. But Grandma, I have things to do in the store. I’ll go take care of that first. You should go back and get busy too.”
Having said that, she didn’t wait for Grandma Liu to call out from the rear, and stepped into the bookstore.
Inside the bookstore, Di Cheng was busy at the counter, continuously wiping off dust. Seeing Liu Sisi coming in, he quickly greeted her.
“Good morning, Third Auntie.”
Liu Sisi’s face was pale, and she spoke solemnly to Di Cheng, “Di Cheng, quickly close the shop and co with to the pass!”
“What’s wrong? Third Auntie.”
Di Cheng’s smile disappeared. He had a hunch that sothing had happened.
“It’s your Third Uncle…”
