At dawn,
A group of horse thieves secretly surrounded the entire town.
This group of people seemed to be used to the killing business, but they killed the town's defenders in just a cup of tea.
The people in the small town were not afraid of this.
Most people looked numb, and only a few people had a flash of fear in their eyes.
"Tell me, did you see a woman in white yesterday?"
Scarface held the long knife and pointed it at everyone.
But the people present shook their heads.
At this moment, one of the petty officials spoke tremblingly,
"Uncle, we have never seen this woman in white, but last night, some outsiders came to our town."
"Stranger?"
Scarface raised his eyebrows, and interest immediately flashed in his eyes.
There is no doubt that the other party is a businessman.
If not, who would come to this shabby place like Luozhou?
Wait, since he is a merchant, he should have a lot of goods on hand.
Scarface's eyes lit up and he immediately asked:
"Did those foreigners bring carriages? How many carriages and people are there?"
When the clerk heard this, a trace of struggle flashed in his eyes.
But soon, he succumbed to Scarface's intimidation.
"Uncle, there are not many of them, no more than ten people at most, but they brought a whole three carriages."
"That carriage is like a hill. There might be something in it."
Hearing that there were only three carriages, a trace of disdain flashed across Scarface's face.
"A mere troika, even if it is all used to load cargo, how much is it worth?"
"But... it's not a wasted trip after all."
"Who is that? Go and ask them to come out. Just tell me that I want to see them!"
After hearing the order, the clerk immediately ran in the direction of the inn.
Not long after, the news of the horse thieves besieging the city reached Yang Dong's ears.
"It's strange, everything is fine, why suddenly there is a riot among horse thieves?"
"Could it be that old guy Ji Zhong found out about my route?"
He pondered for a moment, then shook his head slightly.
"No, I deleted the mark on purpose. Ji Zhong shouldn't be able to find it."
"Don't think too much about it."
Yan Bingyue suddenly spoke, and a strong murderous intention flashed in her cold eyes.
"These horse thieves have nothing to do with the old prince and the others."
"They just come to Luozhou to do the thin horse business."
"It was these bastards who poisoned me yesterday and harmed me..."
Yan Bingyue glanced at Yang Dong and immediately looked away.
Yang Dong frowned, and the memory of the thin horse appeared in his mind.
The so-called thin horse can be understood as a kind of slave that has been cultivated since childhood.
These girls who were sold or snatched had to receive training from the thin horse merchants at a very young age.
They were divided into different levels based on their appearance, body shape, background, and other factors.
In addition to bed-related matters, advanced people also learn music, chess, calligraphy and painting. The lowest level, however, learns how to make a fire and cook.
After these thin horses are trained, they will be put on the shelves for sale.
All the profits belong to the Shouma merchant. But those poor girls just jumped from one fire pit into another fire pit.
After thinking about this, Yang Dong felt a little more clear.
No wonder these horse thieves would chase Yan Bingyue. According to her character, she must have let go of the woman they caught.
Otherwise, there is no need for them to go to war and surround the entire town.
"This matter has nothing to do with you. I am responsible for everything I do."
Yan Bingyue suddenly spoke, her tone cold, with a chill that would repel people thousands of miles away.
"None of these horse thieves are easy to mess with. Even if you become a fifth-level martial artist, you are still no match for them."
"When I get out, I will create an opportunity for you to escape."
"In this way, I have made up for my responsibility to you."
After finishing speaking, a flash of determination flashed in her eyes. He stood up immediately and walked out the door.
Seeing this, Yang Dong dodged and stopped in front of Yan Bingyue.
"Wait, you spent the whole night with me for nothing, and you made up for it so easily?"
"I'm telling you, I don't agree with this."
He said and handed over a fox fur cloak.
"Your skirt is torn, put on this robe first."
Yan Bingyue looked slightly startled, took the fox fur cloak and put it on her body.
A hint of complexity flashed in her eyes, she pondered for a moment, and then asked:
"You want to get involved?"
"But this matter has nothing to do with you."
"Who said there is no connection?"
Yang Dong smiled coldly, looking at the horse thief in the distance, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
"You think this king has traveled thousands of miles, why did he come to Luozhou?"
"I am here to help the victims on behalf of Your Majesty."
Having said this, he suddenly knocked three times on the next door.
The next moment, Hong Laoliu appeared in front of Yang Dong holding a chicken leg.
"Boy, what's the matter?"
"Business is here, do you want to do it?"
Yang Dong said lightly, but Hong Laoliu's eyes immediately widened!
He swallowed the whole chicken leg in one gulp, wiped his oily hands on his clothes several times to make sure there were no oil stains, and then said seriously:
"Boss Yang, if you need anything, just arrange it!"
Seeing such a huge change in his attitude, Yan Bingyue was stunned.
This old beggar is so talented!
Could it be that he had a special identity? Otherwise, why would Yang Dong suddenly call him over?
Yang Dong didn't know the doubts in Yan Bingyue's heart at this moment. He just pointed at the horse thief not far away and said:
"Are you sure you can kill these horse thieves?"
"Horse killer?"
Hong Laoliu looked puzzled, and then seemed to have thought of something, and a touch of interest immediately appeared on his face.
"But some low-class things, old beggar, I can turn them into powder with just a few moves!"
"That's it, then one person and one penny."
Yang Dong said and immediately grabbed a large handful of copper coins.
The old beggar's eyes widened when he saw the copper coins.
"Um...Boss Yang, how about two cents per person?"
Yan Bingyue listened to the conversation between the two, with a hint of surprise on her cold cheeks.
Who is this old beggar, so confident in facing this group of horse thieves?
Could it be that he is really a hidden master?
Thinking of this, even the frost beauty Yan Bingyue couldn't help but feel a little hot inside.
"Old senior, if you can really kill all these horse thieves, I have twenty taels of silver here for reward."
"Twenty taels!??"
Hong Laoliu's body trembled suddenly, and his hands actually trembled slightly.
"Girl, please wait a moment!"
He said this, picked up the teapot with his backhand, and poured a cup of hot tea.
"I will definitely be back before the tea cools down."
After saying that, his body disappeared in a flash.
At this moment, Scarface was enjoying the breakfast served by the clerk.
Although they are all sorghum flour cakes that get stuck in your throat, they are still considered delicacies in Luozhou today.
Just then, an old beggar suddenly appeared.
Without saying a word, he raised his dark soles and kicked them up...
