C382 Arrival site

Along the way, Shi Haowen and the rest all suffered from cold eyes, taste the bitterness, and so on and so forth. Although these people were angered to the point of bursting their lungs, in order to not cause trouble, they tried their best to endure. However, no matter how much he endured, he still had to eat his fill. Perhaps he could get better in the mountain forest, or even hunt some wild beasts to satisfy his hunger. Now that he had entered a town, where could he go to hunt wild beasts? Only people could be beaten!

At first, they even wanted to trade for some food, but the result was unsatisfactory. Not to mention that they couldn't get the leftovers from the cold rice, even the steamed buns that had been stepped on countless times were taken to the dogs by someone and not left for them.

In the end, everyone was so hungry that there was nothing they could do. All of them collapsed on the roadside, pretending to be dead. In the end, Shi Haowen thought of a way to let Lu Baihuan's wife strut around in a certain brothel for a few days before finally making a meal of himself.

"I say, Master Shi, why don't we sell this slut to a brothel? We should change the fare so that we can hurry on our way and reach the rendezvous point as soon as possible." One of the guards crossed his legs and suggested.

That's right, Master Shi, I see that the harlot is rather popular. In just a few days of hard work, she was already fought over by those local customers. The other guard echoed.

They had endured so many days and finally managed to get a full meal. Now they knew that money was not only used to squander money, but they could also get a full meal at a crucial time. This group of men were really hungry and afraid, seeing how Lu Baihuan's wife was acting and could even sell for such a high price, they were immediately overjoyed, afraid that there would be no store after the village, thus they all suggested.

"Hmph. I don't want to easily let that slut go. A thousand people riding on a thousand people and a hundred thousand people pressing on one another might be a painful thing to others, but to her, it is the thing she wished for. How could there be such a good thing?" Shi Haowen firmly shook his head and replied.

He hated this woman to the extreme in his heart. If not for these people robbing and robbing his people, he wouldn't have lost that five hundred thousand silver taels. On the other hand, Shi Haowen was a villain among villains, and revenge was his greatest 'advantage'. Whoever made him unhappy, he would definitely make that person very unhappy!

Therefore, Lu Baihuan's wife, the only person he captured, became his target of venting his anger on, and completely disregarded her as a person along the way. However, this woman was a complete slut. Other than feeling a little uncomfortable at the start, after her mental state and living habits had been adjusted, she did not seem to resent the way these female prisoners were abused at all. Instead, he cooperated with Shi Haowen in particular.

As a worker in a temporary brothel, not only was he not afraid, he even took the initiative to cooperate, which allowed the old procuress to give a satisfactory price to work hard.

However, he couldn't really kill this woman. Firstly, it was too easy for her to die, and secondly, he might need this woman to help them vent their anger, which meant that he had to keep his life. This was his only option.

"Are we going to rely on her to sell us all the way and let us brothers eat our fill? Isn't this too disrespectful! After all, we are still guards of the Duke Palaces! " A guard was a bit shy. Although the guards of the mansion also did some dirty work, he rarely participated in it. This time, it was truly out of the ordinary, so he refuted.

Don't argue anymore, we can't let this woman go just like that, with her here, we can explain to His Highness the specific reason behind the failure of this mission, and regardless of whether she accepts it or not, as long as there's no problem with her identity, we can prove that the five hundred thousand silver was stolen by the people from the Blood Illusion Valley. This way, we might be able to retrieve our lives. Guard Commander stood out and shouted to the guards, at the same time explaining to the guards who were opposed to the situation.

"That's right, captain's meaning is my meaning. This woman cannot be let off so easily. I want to torture her to the point where she regrets being a woman!" Shi Haowen interjected in agreement, and at the same time revealed a cruel smile. Seeing this smile, everyone knew that the round of that woman's suffering was about to start.

"But Captain, what about my expenses and food along the way?" The guard who had objected previously asked.

"Isn't there such a bitch? Along the way, we specially searched for brothels to stay at. Firstly, we would hide our identities. Secondly, we could earn fees and food! "Two birds with one stone!" The Guard Commander pointed to the lady in the corner and said.

He was one of the leaders of the mission, although he said that he was helping Shi Haowen in completing the mission, he was actually also here to monitor Shi Haowen. He had followed the prince for many years, and was once his personal Guard Commander. He was greatly valued by the king, and at the same time, he had heard and learnt from the prince how ruthless he could be. He could not say that he was in favor of these slave-like prisoners, but he also did not go to the extent of resisting them.

Besides, they had no money right now. If they wanted to reach their destination successfully, they could only use extreme means. Comparing their mission to carrying out a secret mission, they could not ask for help from the local officials. When the time came to investigate the relevant matters, it would be easy for some of the enemies of the Prince to connect the dots. The consequences would be quite serious.

That was why concealing their identities was extremely important to them! Now that the task had been completed, if these matters were brought to the attention of the Prince, then it would be difficult for them to renounce their crimes even if they were to die.

"Yes, captain!" Since their captain had already spoken, how could they have any objections? They simply replied in unison.

"Let her stay another night. We will set off early tomorrow morning! "Don't forget to settle the bill with the bawd for the next few days!" The captain nodded his head in satisfaction, pointed to Lu Baihuan's wife and ordered his two subordinates nearby.

He was hinting for the two subordinates to carry the woman back to the brothel for work. Even if they were to leave early in the morning, they could not delay this time in the evening.

"Understood!" The two subordinates stood up and bowed.

? ?.

Just like this, Lu Baihuan's wife, who was considered quite famous in the martial arts world, became a money making tool for the group. Other than changing everyone's clothes, even the rations they packed were enough for them to eat before settling down in the next town.

A man was either not a shameful person or was disgraced and was not a person. To be able to calmly sell someone else's wife as a slave, this was a very shameless realm. Of course, Shi Haowen's group was currently immersed within, and they did not get tired of it.

There were even some who offered suggestions to brothels, asking Lu Baihuan's wife to play a role in the play, tying up, and lashing of extremely disgusting BT. Like this, Lu Baihuan's wife was praised and strongly recommended by the brothels' bawd.

In addition, it also improved the quality of their nightlife on the way here, giving the majority of the customers a very exciting experience. It also contributed its own sweat and energy to the northern brothel business.

Although the journey was relatively slow, he still had a carefree life. He didn't lack anything to eat, drink, or play. It was much better than the five hundred thousand silver taels that he had been escorting!

However, there would always be a day when good days came to an end, and there would also be an end to the road. After a long trek, they finally arrived at the rendezvous point they had agreed upon earlier. However, it was a few days later than the original rendezvous point.

Looking at the desolate wasteland, everyone was at a loss. It was so much later than they had planned, and there was still no one and no news yet, so how could the army that had come to assist them be waiting here foolishly?

"Old Shi, did you remember this location correctly? Let alone humans, even wild beasts rarely touch this place! " Guard Commander looked around and asked curiously.

The place they were in didn't have any lush vegetation at all. It was as if they were in a saltwater field. Under the scorching sun, it was like a scene from hell, and no living beings could be seen moving about.

It was hard to imagine that someone could exist in such a place with such a hot temperature and open field of vision. Besides, it was obvious that there was no cover on the plains. Of course, there were no signs of human activity.

"That's right, I've confirmed it with them several times, the location is definitely the right one. It's just that we came too late!" Shi Haowen nodded and answered, while guessing the reason why there was no one around to support him.

His Royal Highness' mysterious army was his trump card to keep him alive. Even if he had to give up everything, he still had to ensure the survival of this army. So, this time, the rendezvous point was arranged to be here. Because it was desolate, desolate, and there were no birds or beasts, no one would foolishly run over here. So, one could be at ease with the rendezvous point.

"Then what do we do now? You want to return home? If we were to return to the capital from here, it would take us at least one or two months to do so with our two legs. By the time we do, I'm afraid it will be too late to report this matter to the King! " Guard Commander frowned, his heart was stifled as he asked Shi Haowen.

Moreover, they were in a race against time. The later they notified the prince, the more passive they would be, especially in their military operations. If they really wanted to return to the imperial city, that one to two month difference in time might cause them to miss something important!

And although they believed that the person who took the huge amount of money was from the Blood Illusion Valley, but 'thief gets dirt, thief gets double', there was only a woman in her hands, and she insisted, the money was not taken by her Blood Illusion Valley people, so how useful could such a proof be, and where was the evidence?

To be honest, these people did not have any confidence in this matter, but with the method of 'fighting to the death', in order to survive, they had to force themselves to blame it on Blood Illusion Valley. Who asked them to be the first to attempt to snatch the silver, it was no longer important, since they had done so, they would have to bear the consequences of this matter!
