Qin Xiaoyao coughed awkwardly and said, “Ahem… In the future, you can call me ‘Leader’.”
The four of them looked at each other.
“Yes! Greetings, Leader!” they quickly said.
Only then did Qin Xiaoyao nod.
“You may rise,” she said.
The four stood up.
Qin Xiaoyao took two steps forward.
Suddenly, she grabbed the arm of the leader, also known as Huang Fei.
Then, under the four people’s terrified gazes, she quickly helped Huang Fei to correct his dislocated bones.
Huang Fei was initially quite frightened, but when he felt his bones return to their original positions, he immediately realized Qin Xiaoyao’s good intentions.
He hurriedly bowed and thanked Qin Xiaoyao.
“Thank you, Leader!”
When the others saw this, they also instantly realized the truth and heaved a sigh of relief.
Qin Xiaoyao’s gaze swept across the four of them.
“The news I’ve received is that the Second Prince is stationed at the High Pass Town on the border with his army,” she said.
“But I don’t know the route to get there.
“Moreover, I’m also lacking some transportation tools.
“So, I am thinking of buying a few horses from the nearest town. After that, we’ll ride our horses to rush there.”
The four of them were shocked.
After exchanging glances, Huang Fei stepped forward and cupped his hands at Qin Xiaoyao.
“Leader, your arrangement is very reasonable. Greenhill Town is less than one mile away from here.
“But the Liao army is about to arrive, and the town gates of Greenhill Town have been closed since yesterday.
“Even if we rush to Greenhill Town now, I’m afraid we won’t be able to enter the town.
“Therefore, even if Leader has enough money, I’m afraid you won’t be able to buy a horse.”
Qin Xiaoyao frowned.
Did Greenhill Town seal its town gates like Mountain Spring Town?
Damn it! Even if she could fly into the town, she wouldn’t be able to bring the horse out of the town.
“However, if Leader wants to get a horse, I know of a way,” Huang Fei suddenly said.
Qin Xiaoyao turned to Huang Fei.
“Go on,” she said.
“Although we can’t enter Greenhill Town now, there’s a Wang Clan Village outside the town. It’s the property of the richest man in Greenhill Town, Landlord Wang.
“Last night, I brought my three brothers over to take a look.
“There are many people in the village, and they have horse carriages and ox carts. It won’t be a problem to get five horses.”
If it wasn’t for the fact that the other party had more people and was vigilant, he would have led his brothers to attack.
The four of them were not strong enough, so it was naturally difficult for them to succeed.
However, with their Leader around, the situation would be different.
At that time, it would be up to their Leader to decide whether to buy or rob, right?
Qin Xiaoyao glanced at Huang Fei and quickly nodded.
“Alright. Let’s go take a look.”
She just wanted to get the horse as soon as possible. As for whether it was by snatching or other means, she didn’t feel any pressure on her conscience.
At most, she would arrange for someone to compensate them the money after the matter was over.
“Yes! We’ll lead the way now!” Huang Fei said hurriedly.
As he spoke, he made a hand gesture.
Huang Shi, Huang Daqiao, and Huang An followed him and led the way upfront
That was great. Their Leader was going to take them to rob the Wang Clan Village.
Next, not only would they have horses, but they would also be able to eat a good meal.
Qin Xiaoyao didn’t know what these people were thinking and followed them.
As the group’s pace was very fast, they soon arrived at the place.
After entering the village, Qin Xiaoyao walked to the front and openly looked around for the residence inside the village.
There were indeed quite a number of people in the residence. When the servants at the entrance saw Qin Xiaoyao and the others, they chased them away before the visitors could even explain their intentions.
Before Qin Xiaoyao could say anything, Huang Shi had already stepped forward and started shouting.
“Who arc you shouting at? Our Leader is here to buy a horse from your Landlord Wang. If you know what’s good for you, hurry up and inform your caretaker. Otherwise…” Huang Shi said arrogantly.
He even rolled up his sleeves.
This show of might immediately made the servant fearful.
When he saw Qin Xiaoyao and the others did not appear friendly, the servant finally took a step back.
“You… you guys wait here.” Then, he turned around and ran into the courtyard.
Huang Shi smiled smugly before turning around to look at Qin Xiaoyao with a fawning expression.
He looked like he wanted to be praised.
Qin Xiaoyao didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
The five of them waited for a while and soon, someone came out of the residence.
It was a middle-aged man, and under the lead of a servant, he led a group of guards and dashed out.
There were more than a dozen of them flexing their muscles, and all of them were armed with weapons, looking incredibly impressive.
Qin Xiaoyao watched as her own group of five was surrounded by this group of people, but she didn’t panic.
On the other hand, Huang Fei and the others were very frightened.
However, they all still stood around Qin Xiaoyao in a protective wall.
Qin Xiaoyao scanned her surroundings and pushed aside Huang Fei, who was blocking her way. She then looked at the middle-aged man standing at the entrance.
She cupped her hands and bowed to the other party, saying in a neither servile nor overbearing manner, “My surname is Qin, and I’m from Mountain Spring Town. I passed by your village and learned that you have horses, so I came specially to buy them.”
“I hope you can do us this favor, Sir.”
When he heard her, the middle-aged man’s expression was very unfriendly.
“Hmph! Our family’s horses are used to pull carriages. There are so many things in the village that need to be moved into the town. Where can we find extra horses to sell to you?
“If you know what’s good for you, leave quickly. Otherwise…” At this point, the middle-aged man’s eyes turned sinister.
Among the five people, four of them were holding weapons in their hands. They looked sallow-faced and emaciated and were obviously refugees. It would be a wonder if they could afford a horse.
He suspected their intention to buy horses was a lie, and in reality, they wanted to rob him of his horses.
Hmph! These people did not even know their own abilities, yet they dared to barge into the village.
If they angered him, no one would care even if he really killed them.
Qin Xiaoyao’s expression clouded over.
“Otherwise what?” She narrowed her eyes and looked at the middle-aged man with a menacing look.
Her original intention was to negotiate. Even if they couldn’t reach an agreement on the price, she would leave a letter for them to go to Mountain Spring Town to collect the rest of the money.
However, it was obvious that the other party was not even willing to talk to her.
She was not such a reasonable person. Now that she needed a horse and this person was not willing to sell it to her, he was deliberately going against her.
And for those who opposed her, she would never make things easy for them.
The middle-aged man was stunned for an instant.
He immediately recovered himself and found it laughable.
He had so many subordinates. Why would he be afraid of a thin and weak shorty?
“Otherwise, I’ll make sure you leave this place horizontally!” The middle-aged man threatened.
The middle-aged man was embarrassed and angry when he recalled how he had been frightened by Qin Xiaoyao earlier.
“Get them! Beat them to death!” he then said.
As soon as he said this, the guards surrounding Qin Xiaoyao and the others all sprang into action.
Qin Xiaoyao quickly pushed Huang Shi and Huang An away, helping them to avoid the attacking rods.
At the same time, she reached out to grab the two rods that the guards were swinging toward her. With a light twist, she flipped the two guards over.
When she saw another guard charging at her, she raised her leg and sent him flying off with one kick.
After that, Qin Xiaoyao didn’t stop. She dodged nimbly and counterattacked again.
Very quickly, the dozen or so guards were all thrown to the ground.
“Ouch!” After the guards collapsed to the ground, they all wailed in pain repeatedly, and not a single guard was able to get up..
