Chapter 275 The Horse is Gone
Zhao Li's identity was extraordinary to begin with. Being able to stay by his side was a symbol of power, and no one who knew his identity would want to leave his side.
So after hearing what he said, she quickened her pace, but the snow in the wild was so thick that no matter how much she wanted to quicken her pace, she couldn't.
Lin Bao and his group hid behind a snowdrift. When they heard the sound approaching from afar, they all frowned.
Especially when he heard that voice, Lin Hu felt that it sounded somewhat familiar. He wanted to look up, but the location didn't allow it.
If they just climbed up and lay down on it, the snowdrift wouldn't be able to stop them!
Lin Long sensed Lin Hu making a sound, turned around and glanced at him, only to see his head constantly sticking out.
He grabbed a handful of snow and threw it at Lin Hu, then mouthed a warning to behave himself.
But this guy wouldn't listen at all. Not only was he restless, he got up and ran away. The other four people just watched as Lin Hu crouched down like a thief and ran off to the other side.
The group didn't know what he was going to do, and they were worried that he would reveal his location, so they watched warily and listened carefully. When they saw Lin Hu run to the other side, the remaining four people immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Hu just wanted to know who was speaking, and when he saw Zhao Li, his lips twitched.
Damn it, how could it be this bastard? Why is this bastard here instead of staying in the county town?
In this freezing weather, with so many henchmen behind him, can he really handle it?
Lin Hu had already learned about Zhao Li from his time at Yichun Garden. No matter what it was, as long as it wasn't good or top-notch, this bastard wouldn't touch it.
Later, he left with his men without telling this bastard, but unexpectedly, the bastard also ran away.
But what is he doing here with his men? Is it also for the grain?
If that's really the case, that person deserves to be beaten!
Completely unaware that he was being targeted, Zhao Li was still thinking about finding the grain as soon as possible.
But when he heard his subordinate's report, he completely lost it.
"What did you say? Someone beat you to it? What exactly happened?"
"Master, we've already investigated the area; it's just wheel tracks. However, those carts have been pushed away and their whereabouts are unknown..."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Li felt a pang of heartache. He had gone through so much trouble and suffering to find this place, only to have someone else beat him to it.
So why did he come here? Was he just asking for trouble?
Undeterred, Zhao Li went to the scene himself and indeed saw many messy footprints and a series of wheel tracks.
He punched a tree trunk next to him: "Investigate, investigate it right now."
"Find out who it belongs to. No matter who it is, you must get it back for me."
Damn it, anyone who dares to take his things has a death wish. His things are only things he doesn't want; no one ever takes them from him.
Lin Hu, who was following behind, rolled his eyes when he heard what Zhao Li said. He was so weak himself, yet he had the nerve to blame others. He even suspected that this burden had dragged those people down, which was why they were late.
After all, the Zhao clerk in Yichun Garden was a weak and helpless man. Someone like him should be sitting quietly at home with a heater.
Instead of coming to this freezing, remote mountain forest to fight with others for something.
Lin Hu hadn't returned, so Lin Long decided not to wait any longer. They left Lin Bao behind, and the other three took the grain and left first.
They took a mountain path on their way back, but they didn't bring the grain into Gujia Village.
Cui Dazhu was somewhat surprised to see Gu Zhan arrive. After leading him inside, he looked at him and said, "Hey boss, you don't come here without a reason. You've come here for more than just a stroll, haven't you?"
"I brought some things with me, and I hope we can leave them here for a while."
Gu Zhan didn't beat around the bush and directly stated his purpose. Upon hearing his words, Cui Dazhu glanced behind him.
Upon seeing those large sacks, he knew what was inside.
"Boss, boss, can you please let me go?"
"No matter what, there are dozens of lives lost here. Although we are bandits to outsiders, look at us, do we really look like bandits?"
Aside from some farm tools, there are only a few wood-chopping knives on the entire mountain. Although they can hurt people, they are incomparable to those trained knives.
If they were to keep this, let alone whether they could even keep it safe, they really couldn't. What would they do if someone came looking for it?!
Cui Dazhu said there was no one on the mountain and he couldn't agree. Upon hearing this, Scarface burst out laughing: "Tsk, how dare you be a bandit with a coward like you?"
"Whether you accept what Young Master Gu left here or not today, you can't escape it anyway. We've already come all this way, and here we are."
"Do you think you can escape if someone really investigates?"
Whether they left anything here today or not, the fact remains that they were here. If anyone finds out, they'll be in trouble anyway.
Upon hearing this, Cui Dazhu's face turned completely black!
She looked at Gu Zhan with a resentful expression: "It's not impossible for me to agree, but I have to leave someone here."
Leaving someone here would give him peace of mind; who knows, they might be able to save his life in a critical moment.
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhan readily agreed, but he left Scarface behind.
Hearing what Gu Zhan said, Scarface was completely dumbfounded. He had only gone out for a short while, how could he not be able to return!
He still needs to go back to get married, so he can't stay here too long. What if his wife thinks he's changed his mind and runs away on his own?
No matter how unwilling Scarface was to stay, he ultimately did so. He watched them descend the mountain, then turned to look at Cui Dazhu.
When the man realized he was being watched, he looked up and chuckled, a smile that looked like that of a complete idiot.
On the other side, Lin Hu secretly followed Zhao Li out of the woods, thinking that Zhao Li would leave after he went out.
But when they went outside, they discovered that their horse was gone.
"Where's the horse? Where did it go? And where are the people who just stayed behind?"
Looking at the messy footprints ahead, Zhao Li was so angry he almost vomited blood.
