Chapter 123

Golden Horses?

It was the first time that Mu Yi had heard that name . He had never lived in Luoyang so it wasn’t strange . Besides, there were many bandits in the world . It would have been strange if Mu Yi had known them .

It didn’t matter who they were . They had prepared a plan to steal the convoy’s goods . It was also impossible to tell whether the dark creature from the other evening was from their group or not .

However, Mu Yi was amused when he saw the big guy . Was he the leader of the group? If he wasn’t, it didn’t matter . If he was, it would be fun .

Even though all the bandits had moved back and didn’t attack Big Slave anymore, it didn’t mean that Big Slave was going to let them off . Big Slave only listened to Nian Nuer and Mu Yi . All the bandits saw that Big Slave wasn’t going to stop so they had no choice but to fight .

“I’ll get you!” shouted the big guy .

He noticed that the battlefield was becoming chaotic again . Big Slave killed more people . Cries of pain filled the air . The big guy lifted his ax again and ran at Big Slave .

The big guy lifted his ax with the vigor of a tiger . It looked extremely heavy . The guy was obviously skilled . Big Slave was stronger, though .

Big Slave glanced at the big guy who was running towards him . His expression didn’t change . He didn’t dodge either . He just raised his fist and aimed at the ax .

The sound of the collision resounded in the area and the ax was knocked away . The big guy was forced back by the force of the collision . He crashed into one of the horses .

“How strong,” said the big guy .

He saw that Big Slave was also completely unharmed . Actually, everybody was stunned . All the bandits looked terrified . They went pale as if they had seen a ghost .

The group of bandits knew how strong their leader was . His ax weighed about sixty jin, still, nothing had happened to Big Slave . After Big Slave clashed with the big guy, he glanced around .

The bandits were terrified . They didn’t feel like fighting anymore . They didn’t need to take so many risks . Big slave was too tough . They couldn’t compete with him . They needed to escape, otherwise, their people would continue to die .

From the very moment when Big Slave had appeared, the result of the battle was decided . The big guy looked at his fellow bandits . He could see that they didn’t feel like fighting anymore . The dozen armed escorts were putting pressure on them as well .

The big guy shouted, “Brothers, dismiss! ”

“Roger!” shouted the bandits in unison .

They retreated quickly . The armed escorts didn’t chase them . Even Big Slave didn’t, he just turned around and went to stand next to Mu Yi .

All the escorts were touched because this was the second time Big Slave had saved them . Some people were injured but at least they were all alive . Nothing had happened to the goods either . Big Slave had saved them again .

“Are you alright?” asked Mo Ruyan .

She hadn’t thought things would happen that way . She hadn’t really gotten involved a moment before but she hadn’t left . Big Slave was the best option to deal with the bandits .

“Master, we’re alright thanks to Big Slave . He’s a hero,” said an armed escort .

“Thank you . We owe you,” said Mo Ruyan looking at Mu Yi .

“It’s alright . I just wanted to avoid a disaster,” said Mu Yi, then he turned around and went back to his carriage .

“Young Master,” said Uncle Cai and some of the others .

They were alarmed . The surroundings were really shocking . There were dead horses and bandits and blood everywhere . It had been a terrifying battle .

“Alright, let’s help our injured friends and leave,” said Mo Ruyan .

She didn’t feel like talking too much . The bandits had left already but they couldn’t be certain they wouldn’t come back . Maybe they would even face more dangers on the way . It was better to leave as soon as possible .

“Roger,” said Uncle Cai with a nod, glancing around .

They left rather quickly . At the top of the small mountain, a shadow slowly appeared . It looked at Mo Ruyan . After staring at Mo Ruyan for a long time as they disappeared over the horizon, the shadow turned around and left .

When the shadow left, Mu Yi sensed something . He glanced around but saw nothing .

The convoy arrived in a small village . Many people were injured so it wasn’t convenient to continue . Even though Mo Ruyan was worried about stopping, she also knew what needed to be done .

If they were frightened, injured and continued traveling and faced danger again, they’d be in trouble . All the injured armed escorts wouldn’t be able to help . They’d be easy prey to predators .

They couldn’t possibly do something like that . They had survived today thanks to Big Slave .

They had taken risks . They had acted heroically, but they were all shocked . Especially when they thought about it after . Many of the armed escorts’ legs were still shaking . If it happened again, they wouldn’t have the courage to fight .

“Master, I think we should have a talk with that little Taoist priest . What do you think?” whispered Uncle Cai .

He had gone to see Mo Ruyan in her room . He had been saying the same thing all day .

After realizing that Mu Yi wasn’t really weak and knowing that Big Slave had incredible fighting abilities, he had come up with an idea . Big Slave could destroy hundreds of ordinary enemies alone . If the enemies had no weapons, he could probably even defeat thousands .

If Mu Yi and Big Slave could help them, they would never have such problems again .

“Talk? About what? Ask them to help us?” Mo Ruyan glanced at Uncle Cai indifferently .

She knew what he wanted to say .

“Indeed,” said Uncle Cai .

“Don’t forget that he’s our client . He paid one thousand Liang of gold,” said Mo Ruyan expressionlessly .

“You can give him the one thousand Liang of gold back,” said Uncle Cai .

Even though one thousand Liang of gold was a lot, the armed escorts’ lives were more important . The price of the goods they were carrying were worth more . One thousand Liang of gold was overpriced anyway . Mo Ruyan had asked for more than usual . Since Mu Yi didn’t seem to mind, she had accepted it .

“It’s too late . Even if we propose that to him, he will refuse,” said Mo Ruyan shaking her head .

“Master…” said Uncle Cai .

“Enough . I won’t change my mind . Besides, I will be more careful in the future . I will personally take the night watch . Uncle Cai, you can go back and have a good rest,” said Mo Ruyan firmly .
