The bandit walking in front heard the movement behind him and thought that his brother had fallen. When he turned around, he was already lying in a pool of blood.
The bandit shuddered and looked around warily, but he did not see a single person.
He looked at the closed door in horror and his throat slid. He did not even dare to collect his companion’s corpse and fled in a panic!
“Where’s Zhang Daniu?”
A bearded man asked. He was in his late thirties and was burly and fierce. He looked like he was not to be trifled with.
It was the Second-in-charge of their group of bandits.
The bandit gestured around his neck and suppressed his fear. He whispered, “Second-in-charge, there’s… an expert inside!”
Second-in-charge frowned and said in disbelief, “I’ll go meet him!”
The young man at the side pulled him back. “Chief has instructed us not to complicate matters tonight. Since the expert didn’t appear, he probably doesn’t want to interfere in our business. Zhang Daniu must have provoked him himself. It’s unreasonable for us to go.”
Second-in-charge thought for a moment and nodded seriously. “Third Brother makes sense! Let’s go!”
With Jiang Guanchao’s hearing, he could hear these people no matter how softly they spoke.
He really couldn’t be bothered with such a lousy thing.
It would be best if they left tactfully. If they didn’t, he didn’t mind killing more.
He looked down at the little guy in his arms.
Wei Xiaobao ate her hands, her eyes wide open and extremely energetic.
The situation was a little abnormal… Jiang Guanchao subconsciously asked, “Aren’t you going to sleep?”
Had he actually spoken to a baby?
Jiang Guanchao frowned.
Wei Xiaobao’s eyes lit up even more, and her voice was soft. “Wuwuwuwu.”
“I won’t sleep or abandon you.”
A moment later, Jiang Guanchao leaped and flew down from the roof.
His figure was tall and straight. Even his qinggong was pleasing to the eye.
He sent the corpse flying with a palm and came to Yun Shuang’s door. He stepped over the blood on the ground and was about to knock on the door.
Suddenly, he looked at the sleepy little guy in his arms and frowned. He carried Wei Xiaobao back to his room.
He placed Wei Xiaobao on the bed and the two of them stared at each other.
Wei Xiaobao was super fierce. “Wuwa!”
Jiang Guanchao snorted and turned around to get a handkerchief to wipe the little fellow’s saliva.
At this moment, a strong wind blew open the unlatched door.
Jiang Guanchao went to close the door.
However, when he returned to the bed, he was surprised to find that Wei Xiaobao was no longer on it!
Wei Xiaobao was already eight months old and could crawl everywhere. He quickly went down to take a look and looked under the bed, but he did not even see Wei Xiaobao!
Of course, he wouldn’t think that Wei Xiaobao had run away herself.
How could an eight-month-old baby have such ability?
He looked at the beam and roof, then at the door he had just closed.
Could it be… that the door was not blown open by the wind just now? Had someone been here?
However, he did not notice it at all!
Even Wei Xu and Elder Qiu could not come and go freely under his nose. Who was that person?!
Jiang Guanchao thought of that group of bandits.
Could it be that there was a peerless expert hidden among them?
Jiang Guanchao chased after her with a cold gaze.
At this moment, the group of bandits had already taken a carriage and returned to their stronghold.
The operation tonight went very smoothly. They had not waited for a month in vain.
After doing this big thing, they would not have to worry about food and drink for three years.
Their village was not far. It was near the courier station and could be reached after passing through a forest.
A bandit said, “Second Boss, the horse is running faster and faster.”
Another bandit said in high spirits, “Even a horse knows to do something big. Hurry up and go back to claim credit!”
Second-in-charge laughed out loud!
The third-in-charge felt that something was wrong, but he could not put his finger on it.
The carriage sped all the way and arrived at the village unimpeded.
Second-in-charge jumped out of the carriage. “Brothers! Unload!”
The bandits jumped down excitedly.
The brothers in the stockade swarmed forward.
“Let us do it! Rest!”
Second-in-charge patted Third-in-charge’s shoulder. “Third Brother, call Big Brother!”
The third-in-charge said, “Big Brother is here.”
The boss was older than them and looked to be in his forties. He was extremely burly and had a hideous scar on his face.
“Brother!”
Second-in-charge strode over and greeted him.
“Brother.”
The third-in-charge followed.
“Yeah.”
The boss nodded and looked at the big boxes that had been moved down. There were more than ten of them. “Are they all here?”
Second-in-charge waved his arm and said, “They’re all here! Not a single one is left for Huang!”
Old Master Huang was that salt merchant.
With such a sum of money, even the knowledgeable boss could not help but be a little excited.
He came to the first box and personally opened the lid.
However, to his surprise, the box was empty. Not to mention gold, there was not even a lousy copper coin!
“Brother! How is it? Are you very shocked…”
As the second-in-charge spoke, he grinned at the box. Then, his smile froze.
Damn it!
Where was the gold!!!
The first-in-charge glanced at him and the third-in-charge suspiciously.
The two of them felt their hearts skip a beat.
“This, this… They must have moved it wrongly!”
Second-in-charge broke out in cold sweat. He and Third Brother were not greedy for gold!
They were innocent!
“Brother, look at this box!”
He immediately opened the second box.
It was… empty!
The big boss clenched his fists.
Third-in-charge was also dumbfounded.
He and Second Brother had personally checked it. Every box was filled with gold bars, but now, two boxes of gold had disappeared?
Soon, Third-in-charge realized that he was wrong.
It was not that two boxes of gold had disappeared, but that all the gold was gone!
Was he seeing a ghost!
What was even stranger was that there was a sticky child lying in the last box.
Wei Xiaobao held a gold bar in her chubby hand and said cutely, “Wu wu ~”
“Ah—”
Second-in-charge fell to the ground in fear. “Ghost—”
When the other bandits saw the sudden appearance of the child, their first reaction was also Damn, what the hell!
Their second reaction was… that this brat was a little good-looking… fair, fat, and milky. She was prettier than all the children they had seen.
If this was a ghost, that would have really been shocking!
The big boss clenched his fists. “This is the gold you brought back?!”
The third-in-charge hurriedly said, “Brother, believe us. We really didn’t do anything. We did move the gold into the carriage. We don’t know what’s going on… If you don’t believe me… you can ask our brothers!”
“I don’t think you have the guts!”
After the big boss finished speaking coldly, he looked coldly at the little baby in the box. “Someone tampered with it and left a child behind to humiliate our Black Wind Stockade! How bold! Kill this child!”
Second-in-charge looked at the whining Wei Xiaobao and said awkwardly, “Brother… this… can’t go down…”
“Useless thing!”
The boss grabbed a torch from his subordinate and walked towards Wei Xiaobao.
At this moment, a voice as cold as ten thousand years of ice sounded with a terrifying pressure.
“If you dare to lay a finger on her, I’ll destroy your entire stockade!”
