Listening to hidden meaning in Mu Cangâs word, Yu Xiang quickly replied, âChief, you are good at joking. Of course, Empress Dowager didnât have this intention. Speaking the truth, everyone outside only knows you by your name and never seen you in person. As long as you find a suitable person to masquerade, it will be sufficient to defeat Luo Xi Yan.â The Empress Dowager also was afraid that Mu Cang would change his side at the time, giving her trouble. After all, it was the empress dowagerâs idea to steal the gold.
Mu Cang didnât reply for a moment. Once again, he waved his hand at the young man. The young man walked to Yu Xiangâs side and lightly smiled, âOfficial Yu must be tired. How about taking a break to drink the water then we can discuss again?â
In his heart, Yu Xiang knew Mu Cang wanted to send him away to take some time to think. This proved that Mu Cang was considering his offer. Facing Mu Cang, Yu Xiang politely smiled, âGood, I will wait for Chiefâs good news.â
As Yu Xiang figure disappeared into the caves, a tired sound asked, âWhat do you guys think?â
Wu Ji bent down to pick the confidential letter, skimming through its content and whispered, âTruthfully speaking, the Empress Dowagerâs proposed method is not bad.â
Snatching the confidential letter, Yan Ge glanced over it. However, contrary to Wu Jiâs, he strongly opposed it, âLooking at any direction, I donât see any benefit. We were the one who transported the gold. With this gold, our people will not have to plunder anymore for years. We already possess the swords and arrows. Although Su Ling is not an easy opponent, we donât know whether we will lose. The gold is on our hand now, however, I think about it this method is not worth it!â
Yan Ge was just finished his sentence, when the usually calm Wu Ji shouted, âThey want to use fire and roast the forest! This forest was not only the habitat of countless lives, more importantly, it is our family clanâs root. Our patriarchs were buried here. Their souls remain here. How can gold be compared to our home!â He couldnât forget the fire ten years ago. It remained for 5 days and nights. The sky looked bloody red. The air filled with burning suffocating smells.
Wu Ji knelt on one knee. One of his hand cupped the other handâs fist (sign of respect) and seriously said, âPlease re-think about it, Chief!â
Wu Ji had said things to this point. Yan Ge couldnât continue to persist, kneeling while saying, âPlease re-think about it, Chief!â
The high-status person slowly got up, stepping down the steps one by one. His eyes looked profound and sly, âWe can give the gold to them, but⊠we cannot let them pay so lightly! For Yang ZhiLan, we can help her once. However, she isnât someone who really keeps her words. Wanting to frame Lou XiYang is her problem. Whether she succeeds or not will depend on her intelligence.â
Following his slow steps, a black robe slightly revealed a bright green light across the wrist which disappear quickly under the robes.
