Chapter 1520: 738 Using Troops Like a Deity! (Two Updates)_4

Before that, he just needed to find a place to hide himself well.

...

The men in black and the peddler had searched the entire sorghum field before realizing they had been fooled.

There was nothing in the sorghum field!

No human figure, not even traces of someone having hurriedly passed through!

Furthermore, the peddler came to an even more infuriating realization, "Nobody came to rescue them; they escaped on their own!"

The man in black asked, "Why do you say that?"

The peddler snorted coldly, "If someone had indeed found that courtyard, do you think after so much time, there wouldn’t be any people from the Official Government coming to search?"

The man in black suddenly saw the light.

The peddler’s eyes filled with malice, "It must be that damn brat! Once I catch him, I won’t just slaughter him!"

The two headed towards the forest.

The forest was full of ancient trees that touched the sky, branches and leaves shading the sun, even the temperature was much cooler than outside.

As the man in black walked, he said, "Actually, we don’t necessarily have to find the Little Princess ourselves, it would be fine if other prominent families find her. After all, our goal isn’t to gain merit in this matter."

The peddler said, "We might not need this merit, but we must ensure that the Han Family doesn’t get it either! If they find the Little Princesses and redeem their crimes with this merit, then what was the point of all our efforts?"

The man in black thoughtfully said, "That’s true."

The peddler chuckled, "At the very least, the Han Family shouldn’t benefit, and ideally, we should take the credit ourselves."

As they spoke, the two walked farther and farther. _{fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm}

On a century-old parasol tree, a man in his forties, along with a guard, swooped down from above.

The middle-aged man looked towards another large tree, "Yang Family head, isn’t it hot up in the tree? Still hiding?"

There was a moment of silence from the branches, and then a man in his fifties dressed in dark cyan brocade was brought down by two guards.

He greeted the middle-aged men with indifferent politeness, "Dong Family head."

The man addressed as Dong Family head smiled, then looked around in all directions, "Everyone might as well come out, there are many mosquitoes in this forest, and hiding behind trees and getting bitten is not worth it."

As soon as he finished talking, three more men came forth with their family guards, some from up in the trees, some from behind the trees.

Dong Family head smiled and glanced over the three men, "Chen, Du, and young brother Feng, and little Geng."

The first three were about the same age as Dong Family head, all in their prime. Only Geng Family head was twenty-three years old, and thus, the youngest family head among the ten great families.

It wasn’t that he was exceptionally capable, but rather that all the elders of the Geng Family were gone, leaving only him and his older brother by blood to depend on each other and uphold the family through shaky times.

Dong Family head said with a cheerful smile, "It seems everyone has been keeping an eye on them since they entered the forest. Surely you all heard what they just said. I might as well clarify for everyone, the man disguised as a peddler is a master hired by the Mu Family from the underground Martial Arts Arena years ago, a lightfooted expert."

Chen spoke up, "So, the Mu Family is behind this; they want to deal with the Han Family?"

Dong Family head laughed, "It appears so at the moment."

Du asked, "Why would the Mu Family do this?"

Dong Family head smiled, "The Concubine Wan just had an accident, and the Mu Family immediately made a move against the Han Family. Didn’t it occur to anyone that there might be a connection?"
