The Big Boss glared with his small eyes and shouted angrily, "Quiet down, what are you all yelling for!"
"Big Boss, the Second Master is dead, don’t you want revenge for him?"
"Bullshit, he was my brother for over ten years, we’ve been through life and death together, he’s dead, I’m more upset than any of you." Saying this, he smashed the teacup in his hand onto the ground.
"Clang!"
Water mixed with broken pieces of the teacup splattered everywhere.
The Big Boss was angry, and with that, no one dared to make a sound.
He scanned everyone harshly before sitting back down, saying grimly, "Prepare yourselves, the kitchen is ready with delicious food, after you’ve eaten your fill, make sure your weapons are checked. Tonight at midnight, I’m going to wash Hu’s Bay in blood."
The horse bandits got excited hearing this plan from the Big Boss. They had thought the Big Boss was really afraid of the governnt office after the Second Master died!
All of a sudden, the horse bandits were eager, preparing to raid Hu’s Bay tonight.
Not having disturbed the villagers for days, they were itching for action.
They responded in unison, "Wash Hu’s Bay in blood, avenge the Second Master."
Hu’s Bay, Yunlai Inn.
After dinner, Long Rui and his group gathered at the city gate. They had killed the Second Master of the horse bandits today, and to let the people vent their anger, the county magistrate had actually hung the head of the horse bandit at the city gate.
Long Rui estimated that the horse bandits would definitely attack Hu’s Bay tonight.
Thus, he asked the county magistrate to prepare well.
They decided on a tooth for a tooth.
At Eagle Beak Cliff, they had been attacked by horse bandits using wood and stone, killing two and injuring countless others.
To avenge the attack on the mountain, the governnt officials were proactive, constantly carrying stones and blocks up the city gate.
The villagers who heard about the potential attack on Hu’s Bay tonight were very nervous, and spontaneously ca over to help with baskets.
The baskets were filled with stones and blocks.
The officials widened their eyes, having spent half a day moving things by hand, exhausted, and not having moved much up there, but using baskets was different, each basket held many stones and blocks.
Then, they quickly ran back ho to bring more baskets, and soon the city gate was piled high with stones and blocks.
So strong young n volunteered to stay and keep watch.
The county magistrate was of course pleased! Many officials had been injured during the attack on Eagle Beak Cliff, and the County Yan was short-handed, so more people ant more strength, and the safety of the populace was also assured.
Long Rui surveyed the situation at the city gate, then went down. Xuexue was still waiting for him on the ground!
Long Rui: "Dear, it’s still early, you should go back and rest for a while!"
Xuexue: "No, I can’t sleep anyway."
Back at the inn, she’d be worrying about the situation here, better to wait here!
Zi Xia was a bit worried about the young lady, saying, "Young lady, you should go back and rest for a while, if the horse bandits co, I’ll call you, what do you think?"
Long Rui was distressed about Xuexue staying up late, he urged, "Dear, be good, listen, go back and rest for a while, when the horse bandits co, let Zi Xia call you up, isn’t that good?"
They both urged, and Xuexue didn’t argue further.
"Alright, be careful, I’ll bring you a midnight snack later."
Being idle anyway, Xuexue decided to go back and personally make a midnight snack and bring it over for everyone.
Zi Xia caught up, saying, "Young lady, I’ll escort you back."
Xuexue waved her hand, "No need, it’s just a few steps, I’ll be there soon, you stay here with them and keep watch!"
