Shi Haowen and the others forgot about eating, they pulled the carriage carrying five hundred thousand silver taels, and ran for their lives, afraid that they would be surrounded by these experts who were hiding deep inside the mountains. It was nothing for them to run around with nothing left to do, if these people were to take the five hundred thousand silver taels, they would be dead for sure.

It was unknown how long they had been running, nor in which direction they were running. In short, it was completely dark now, the night in the mountain was especially dark, and also especially cold. Compared to the day, it was two different temperatures, and right now, they were even able to light a fire.

"Stop running, I can't run anymore!" Shi Haowen pulled Guard Commander who was beside him and said, he was saying that he would not run away anymore, the injuries he received during the day were dull and painful, especially the rocks that were shot by those unlucky children, they felt like they hit his bones when they hit flesh.

Guard Commander saw that there was nothing he could do, he only needed to order the group to stop, and at the same time, instructed the people behind: "The two of you go look behind, have the mountain people caught up yet?"

"Yes, captain!" The two people at the back of the group obeyed and left.

"Let's find a place to rest!" Guard Commander looked around and said.

"Captain, why don't we go find some food or see if there are any nearby villages. Most of our brothers are still naked, it will be hard to stay in the mountains until daybreak if we continue like this." A guard suggested.

"Alright, you guys go ?" Guard Commander nodded in agreement, but before he could finish, someone interrupted him.

"No, we definitely can't find the village. If we discover the village, we must hide as far away as possible." Shi Haowen said as he opened his mouth to stop his in shock.

Master Shi, that kind of village is a special case, maybe next time we can properly talk about it with them, it won't be a problem to make it hot to eat! Guard Commander frowned and said.

"That still won't do. We absolutely can't find the village. Right now, we have five hundred thousand silver taels with us. You're not afraid, but I'm afraid!" Shi Haowen looked like a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water, he shook his head like a rattle drum.

Okay, listen to Master Shi. You guys go out and find some food to eat. Guard Commander ordered helplessly.

Watching the few guards leave, Guard Commander started to doubt his actions this time. Thinking back to outside of Fengyang City, they had all sorts of unfortunate events that occurred, and all this time, it was as if there was a pair of eyes staring at his group of people, and those traps, concealed weapons, and snakes did not appear out of thin air, but were all directed towards them. It seemed like there was a group of powers that had targeted their five hundred thousand silver taels, but who exactly was this group of people?

Thinking about that, Guard Commander opened his mouth and asked Shi Haowen: "Master Shi, don't you feel that it's a little strange?"

"What's strange?" Shi Haowen still had not reacted when he subconsciously asked.

"Think about it, before we arrived at the Fengyang City, our journey was smooth sailing, but after obtaining all this silver, first, it was the decimetine that was ambushed by the victims, and then, we barely got to the Fengyang City Guards and barely made it to the north. Before we even reached the north, unlucky things started happening non-stop, traps, concealed weapons, and even snakes and fires. After a series of attacks, we have fallen to this state! Don't you think it was all a coincidence? " Guard Commander started speaking from the Fengyang City, grooming and guiding Shi Haowen's train of thoughts. He spoke very carefully, afraid that the other party would not understand what he was saying.

"Not bad, not bad, I really didn't think of this if you didn't say it. All of this really seems to be controlled from behind the scenes." When I was being surrounded and annihilated in the village, I was preparing to lead some people to charge out of the encirclement, but at that time, someone outside of the village suddenly said that they wanted to support us. This time, we were caught off guard and were unable to successfully break out of the encirclement by surprise. Shi Haowen said without beating around the bush, but neither he nor the Guard Commander noticed that all of the guards in bottoms with four horns were looking at Shi Haowen with disdain.

"There's actually such a thing?" Looks like we've been watched. This will be very disadvantageous for us! " Guard Commander said after pondering for a moment.

"But you don't have to worry about that. As long as we get to the rescue site as soon as possible, with the protection of the army, even those scumbags wouldn't dare to do anything to us!" Although Shi Haowen was a little worried, he didn't care too much about it. At this point, they had already left the Fengyang County, and in another five days, they would probably reach the designated location of the reinforcements. At that time, they would be able to sleep peacefully.

"That's true, but what about now? "All my men are riddled with wounds. Most of them haven't eaten anything decent in the past few days, and two-thirds of them don't have any clothes or weapons. If someone comes to rob us, how are we going to deal with them?" Guard Commander was not as optimistic as Shi Haowen, he glanced at his battered subordinates and slowly said.

"This ?" Does this old brother have any wise ideas? " Shi Haowen had also noticed the people around him, and his pants had been taken from one of the guards, causing the naked people to gather in groups of two or three, warming themselves up, such an escort party, this kind of escort party, not to mention protecting Silver Coins, it would be good if he did not starve to death or freeze to death.

"We need to know who those people around us are who are always harassing us." Guard Commander whispered beside Shi Haowen's ear in a mysterious manner.

"Yeah, that's right, but the other side is very cunning. They ambushed us all the way. Let alone knowing who they are, we didn't even see a shadow of them. We aren't even sure if they're still around us." Shi Haowen nodded his head, then shook it and said with a bitter face.

"We'll set a trap for them. As long as they show up, we'll think of a way to kill them. Even if we can't kill them, we'll at least know who they are!" Guard Commander said confidently.

"Brilliant! Let's do it!" Although Shi Haowen didn't know what the plan was, he had a general idea of what it was.

Thus, Shi Haowen and the Guard Commander whispered to each other for a long time. No one knew what they said, but the two of them would occasionally shake their heads and occasionally nod their heads, and then just kneel on the ground and draw. It was very lively, but what puzzled everyone the most was that in the darkness of the night, how did they manage to see what was drawn on the ground?

On a hill not far away from the guards of the King's Manor, two men in black clothes were lying in the grass. They were wrapped in thick quilts and were watching over the guards of the mansion from the bottom of the hill.

"I say, in the past few days, you've been bringing people to that crappy village. What have you been doing?" One of the men in black asked.

"You don't know about that, do you? That village is not ordinary, and I accidentally discovered it too. That village has quite a few experts! " Another man in black answered.

"That's why you brought a few people to harass the village every day, and even left behind the words' idiotic X '. Thus, when the guards of the manor just entered the village, they were mistaken to be one of us, and those villagers even called us' idiots', haha ?" You really know how to play! " The man in black who spoke first was suddenly enlightened.

"What do you mean you don't know how to play or not? Frankly speaking, it's just a routine. This year, if you don't know how to play, it would be a disgrace for you to go out." Furthermore, I'm always working under the Pavilion Master. If I still don't know something new, then I'll really become a 'idiot'! " Another man in black said with a face full of pride. However, this also confirmed the saying, 'the nearer one is, the darker one will be'.

"What should we do next?" The man in black who spoke first asked.

If we follow these people and delay them until the people from the Blood Illusion Valley arrive, then we won't have anything to do with each other anymore, and it will be much easier by then. Then, only by following the vines and finding the place the pavilion master is looking for can we send people to inform the Pavilion Master! The other black-clothed person tightened his blanket and repeated the plan.

"Okay, then do you want to make a move tonight?" The man in black looked down and said.

"No need, there's no fire and there's nothing to eat. Those people on the bottom of the bed, even if they're not half starved, they'll probably freeze by tomorrow morning." The other black-clothed person's collar tightened as he snickered.

"I think a few of them left just now, I think they went to eat. What if they find something to eat?" The black-clothed man from before asked worriedly.

"You are really stupid. They don't have fire, so it would be a waste to hunt them down. I don't believe that they would eat them alive. In such a dark place, finding a fruit was even more unrealistic. It was impossible to tell whether there was poison in the fruit or not! Furthermore, there are only three villages within a radius of fifty kilometers, and even over a hundred li, including the village during the day. The other two villages are very far away, where do you think they would go to get food? " The other man in black shook his head speechlessly.

"You've already figured out the situation of this mountain range?" The black-clothed man said with admiration.

"That's a must. Why else would I be able to follow Pavilion Master?" The other man in black shook his bangs proudly and said.

"I'm impressed!" The black-clothed man clasped his hands together and asked, "What do you think the two leaders are muttering about?"

"I don't know, and I can't see clearly either. The distance between them is too far, I must be thinking of something bad to do!" "You better watch out. I'll go to sleep first and take over your shift later. Don't let those bastards get away. We won't be able to explain ourselves then!" The other black-clothed person looked at him for a while before he shook his head and said.

"Don't worry!"
