Bai Xifeng went to the next room. What in the room made Bai Xifeng’s eyes shined brightly. There was a pile of herbs. She looked around.
Thousand Sand Grass, Snowstorm Wind Leaf, Bloodshield Ginseng... Ah!!! It feels like I am in heaven. Bai Xifeng was feeling excited. She did not know in this small town, she could find a lot of precious herbs at once. She happily took everything in the room. All clear.
When she wanted to leave the room, she heard so commotion. It was not at this courtyard but not far from that courtyard. Bai Xifeng was thinking about what she needed to do next.
The commotion seed to be getting closer to the courtyard. Bai Xifeng decided to leave this room and hid sowhere else. When she was getting out, the door to this courtyard burst open. She imdiately entered the room back.
"He is here. He asks the direction of where Lord Dong Han stored his treasure." The man said.
Bai Xifeng sneaked a peek outside. It was the man that she encountered earlier. She was surprised to see the man already woke up. He probably got so help from soone. It seed this Lord Dong Han had a talented person at his side. Well, she could guess it when she saw the pile of precious herbs before.
"Check all the rooms and see if the person steals anything." A man shouted.
Then, Bai Xifeng could hear the people rushing to open the room. She imdiately took out the invisible rune and applied it to her body. The mont she applied it, the door was opened. She could see a group of guards coming inside.
"Captain, this room is empty." A guard shouted informing the captain about the situation in the room.
"What? What are the things that should be inside that room?" The captain asked.
A man looked through the docunt. He then exclaid. "Oh no, that room should have precious herbs inside it."
"Lord Dong Han would be furious when he heard about this. Go and look for the culprit. He needs to be caught. Otherwise, our head will go flying." The captain shouted. He then rembered sothing. "You, go to another room where his partner stayed. We can use him to threaten the culprit."
Bai Xifeng was not worried about Liu Longwei. There was no way that man should stay put when they wanted to use him to threaten her. She would stay hidden and could escape when the ti ca.
"What? That man went missing?" Dong Han smacked his table.
"Yes, Your Excellency." The butler nodded.
"Find him quickly. My daughter will be married to him tonight." Dong Han said.
It seed the guards still hid the fact that the precious herbs had been robbed by Bai Xifeng.
"What happens, Lord Dong Han?" A middle-aged man appeared at the door asking Dong Han.
Dong Han did not get angry at the middle-aged man. He even treated him with respect.
"Oh, Lord Wen. Why are you here?" Dong Han welcod the middle-aged man, Wen Jingguo with a smile.
Dong Han signalled his butler to prepare so tea. The butler nodded and went to prepare the tea.
"I want to request the herbs." Wen Jingguo stated.
"Oh, I will ask soone to go and get it for you." Dong Han stated.
"No need. I will get it myself." Wen Jingguo said.
"Oh... Then, let lead the way." Dong Han stated.
The two of the n walked to the courtyard. They happened to see the captain who had been in charge of finding Bai Xifeng. The captain bowed and greeted them.
"Lord Dong, Lord Wen." The captain said in a respectful tone.
"It seems sothing serious happened. What is it?" Wen Jingguo asked.
Dong Han laughed. "The slaves that I bought escaped. They are going to find them."
"Oh... I see." Wen Jingguo lost his interest. "Let’s go and grab the herbs."
The captain was shocked when he heard that his master wanted to go to the herbs room. He rembered that the room was empty after being robbed by the missing n. He could not his master knew about the matter. He delayed them.
"Lord, how about I fetch the herbs for you?" The captain offered his help.
"No need. Lord Wen wants to go to the herbs room himself to take the herbs. You should go back and continue your work. You still don’t find the n? My daughter wants him tonight. You should go and catch the man." Dong Han stated.
The captain was shaking when Dong Han and Wen Jingguo walked past him. He knew he would be screwed when these two lords arrived at the herbs room.
Dong Han and Wen Jingguo arrived at the courtyard. Dong Han was wondered why so many people here. Usually, only ten to twelve people would be assigned to guard this courtyard. But today, the numbers seed to exceed that.
"What happened here?" Dong Han asked a guard.
The guard was startled when he saw the Lord. He was afraid to tell Dong Han about what had happened here. As the captain said earlier, their master would be extrely angry if he knew what happened.
"Speak! I am asking you." Dong Han said to the guard.
The guard wanted to cry. Why was he be the unlucky one who going to spill the truth to Dong Han about the herbs that had been robbed?
