"Why aren't they moving?"
In the forest hundreds of feet behind them, someone whispered in a low voice.
Ever since these foreign merchants left Golden Jade Pavilion, they were ordered to follow behind them.
Foreigners were foreigners after all. They did not have the slightest vigilance. Carrying treasures worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, they swaggered on the road. All the way out of the city, the roads they took became more and more remote. They were simply thinking about the people following behind them.
In the wilderness, there was no place more suitable for killing people, robbing treasures, and destroying corpses.
Once they walked a bit further and reached an even more desolate place, they would be able to make their move.
Suddenly, someone whispered, "Why aren't they moving?"
"They put the things down."
"Not good, they seem to have found us!"
The leader was also stunned when he heard the words, but then he slapped a man's head and said, "What are you panicking about? There are only five of them. Even if they find us, what can they do?"
"Let's do it!"
Twenty silhouettes dashed out of the forest and headed in the direction of the five people.
One of the men carefully put aside the bag he was carrying and said, "Brothers, you take a break and leave these people to me."
A man next to him gritted his teeth and said, "Don't do this. Second brother has just broken into the Heaven List. Everyone treats me as a soft persimmon. I have been challenged 18 times in three days. It's really hard to calm down if I don't vent my anger …"
On the opposite side, the twenty people who took out black cloth to cover their faces were surprised to find that the five people not only didn't escape, but even two of them directly faced them …
"Kill!"
The leader whispered and unsheathed his long saber.
After a quarter of an hour, the twenty people had bruised noses and swollen faces. Their clothes were taken off, leaving only a crotch cloth. They were tied to the tree with their hands behind their backs. Their faces were extremely pale, and their expressions were of horror and despair …
"Spare, spare my life …"
They watched as the foreigners tore off their loincloths. They seemed to have thought of something, and their foreheads were drenched in sweat.
"You, don't talk about, morality!" One of the foreign men looked at them and stammered a few words. He patted the long saber in his hand, which made everyone's heart tremble.
…
"Big Brother, why didn't you just kill them just now?" A slightly younger man quickly stepped forward from the forest and asked.
The man shook his head and said: "Twenty lives, the government will definitely investigate to the end. If they find something, won't it cause trouble for the Alliance Master?
Don't worry, after losing so much face, these people definitely won't make too much noise. "
"They got lucky."
The conversation died down, and the footsteps gradually faded away.
After an unknown period of time, a voice came from another part of the forest.
Two figures walked into the forest. One could vaguely see that they were a man and a woman.
"San Lang, don't worry …"
There seemed to be the sound of clothes being taken off, followed by the woman's somewhat worried voice, "San Lang, won't others see us here?"
"I won't." The man's breathing was a little heavy.
"Alright, alright then," the woman said softly, and the rustling sound began to grow louder.
"Can the two of you wait for a moment?"
Suddenly, a voice came from behind them.
The woman's face instantly turned pale. She turned her head to take a look, and in the next moment, a scream could be heard.
"— —"
"You, you, don't run away!"
"Come back!"
"Please help us, we will repay you in the future!"
…
"Twenty servants of the Cui Family were stripped naked and tied up in the forest outside the city. They were found by a woodcutter overnight?"
Li Yi rubbed the space between his eyebrows. He looked at the second young lady and asked, "Are the people you arranged reliable?"
Miss.Liu waved a hand, and the servants of the Li family carried a few large boxes into the room and left respectfully.
She waved a hand, and the lid of one of the boxes opened automatically. There were all kinds of pearls, gems, and jade inside, and the whole room was lit up.
"Alright, let's do it!" Li Yi slammed the table and said.
In the meeting room of the Liu League.
"Do you all remember your targets?" Lü Luo sat at the head of the table and said in a low voice.
"Yes, Chu Zhou City, Golden Jade Pavilion!"
"Qing 'an City, Golden Jade Pavilion!"
"Qing Zhou City, Golden Jade Pavilion!"
…
Not long after that, a dozen people walked out of the meeting room. Carriages drove out of the hall, and each carriage was followed by a dozen people. The carriages traveled in different directions and disappeared on the official road.
…
Over the past two days, from the nobles to the ordinary people, the topic of discussion was still glass.
The brothels always followed the trend of the masses, and the stories told in the brothels also kept up with the times. In the past few days, there were a few legends about glass.
For example, in the "Journey to the West", Monk Sha used to be the Curtain Lifting General in the Heavenly Court, but he was banished from the Heavenly Court because he broke a glass lamp belonging to the Queen Mother of the West. Even in the Heavenly Palace, glass was very precious …
Another example was that if you collected seven glass balls of different colors, you could summon a dragon …
Another legend was that glass was the leftover stone that Nuwa used to patch up the sky …
It was said in the Buddhist scriptures that the Medicine Guru Buddha made a vow when he was practicing the Bodhisattva Path. He wished that his body would be as clear and pure as glass, and that he would use the power of the Fire Net to purify the suffering of all living beings …
Of course, the nobles rarely went to the brothels to listen to such stories. What they cared about was the Wang family's glass bazaar tomorrow.
In the main residence of the Cui family in Jing City.
Twenty people knelt on the ground with their heads lowered, and their faces were pale.
The man with the surname Cui yelled, "Twenty of you can't beat five of them?"
The leader of the group didn't dare to say that the other party had only sent two people, so he lowered his head and said, "Second Lord, we didn't know that those foreign merchants were all powerful martial artists!"
The man with the surname Cui's face was dark. If the glass balls weren't real, they wouldn't have lost anything.
"We've underestimated those foreign merchants …" He looked at the group of people kneeling on the ground and said coldly, "Go and receive your punishment!"
In a manor outside the capital, two men in purple stood at the front, and behind them were ten men in blue and yellow. They all knelt on the ground and said loudly, "Welcome, Your Highness!"
The middle-aged Taoist nun slowly floated down from the sky and walked into the yard. A man in purple tore off the red cloth covering something in the yard, pointed to a towering white jade statue below, and said, "Your Highness, this was carved by a skilled stonemason under my command. It took me three months to carve it. It will definitely …"
The middle-aged Taoist nun glanced at him and asked, "I heard that many temples in the capital have glass Buddha statues?"
The man in purple was stunned and said, "Your Highness, it is true. I've also thought that if I can also make a glass statue for Your Highness, I'm afraid it will attract countless believers. But except for the glass Guanyin statue that the Cold Mountain Temple got from foreign merchants, and the glass statue that the County Count of Chang 'an gave to the Eldest Princess, the others are all from the Imperial Palace, and we can't get in touch with them …
I've also sent people to find foreign merchants, but so far they have found nothing. However, the Wang family of Luochuan is holding a glass bazaar in Hibiscus Garden tomorrow, and we will also participate. We will definitely find enough glass to make a statue for Your Highness! "
"The County Count of Chang 'an?" The Taoist nun frowned.
"Yes, the County Count of Chang 'an, Li Yi." The man in purple nodded and said.
