Xiao Yuyan subconsciously took half a step back, she was truly afraid that Hua Ruge would attack her the moment he arrived, so this matter had happened before.
"Song Ming, he has always been bullying me like this. Help me teach him a lesson." She pulled the man beside her over and said in a delicate and barbaric manner.
Song Ming frowned, then said to Hua Ruge: "This is her fault, but if you make a move, I will also not tolerate you."
"What are you talking about?" Xiao Yuyan had a face full of disbelief.
"It's rare for her to have someone like you who understands what's good for her. It's good as long as you admit your wrongs. I don't have the time to beat someone up." Hua Ruge said with appreciation.
Song Ming nodded, but no matter how much Xiao Yuyan pleaded, he did not speak up.
Hua Ruge felt that this was a person with integrity and principles. He really didn't know how long he could endure Xiao Yuyan for.
She turned her head to look at the boy, who was a little younger than she was, thirteen or fourteen years old, handsome and good-looking.
"I just don't like her." She winked at him.
She could see that the child had a lot of self-respect, and that if she tried to help, it would be counterproductive.
Hearing her words, the little boy was stunned for a moment. Then, he said, "Thank you."
"Can I invite you to join us? This time, we need an experienced person to lead us into the mountain forest. " Hua Ruge invited.
"How do you know I'm experienced?" The boy's frown deepened.
He remembered that he didn't have any interaction with the person in front of him.
"You have very sharp eyes, and walk very lightly. Your arm has been scratched by a wild beast, which probably means that you have some hunting experience." Hua Ruge analyzed lightly.
This teenager had a determination that exceeded his age. He was definitely a good hunter.
The youth's brows relaxed as he said, "I promise you."
He had never seen such a clever and kind person.
"That's my honor. Let's go." Hua Ruge gave him a friendly smile.
The youth nodded as he felt that he'd never seen such a good smile before.
"My name is Hua Ruge, you might have heard it before. she asked as they walked.
"Yang Yu." The teenager replied.
Returning to the crowd, she said, "The new teammates I've brought will be of great help to us."
"Welcome." Mao Jun took the lead, and everyone started to speak.
Because Yang Yu was born into a poor family with average talent, he was often ostracized. Now that he was treated like this by the aristocrats, he wasn't used to it.
"Thank you." His expression was stiff.
Hua Ruge patted his shoulder and gave him an encouraging smile.
Yang Yu nodded, indicating that he would get used to it.
"Then everyone should go back and rest and pack up. We'll gather in the morning and set off." Tuoba Yu said, regardless of whether it was in terms of strength or position, he was in a higher position, so it was natural for him to give orders.
Returning to the side hall, Hua Ruge decided to sleep for a while. Since all of his belongings were in his storage space, there was nothing to clean up anyway.
Because she was seriously lacking in sleep, she slept until the morning of the second day. Looking at the instruments that were timed in the courtyard, she still had early, so she planned to bid farewell to Tuoba Rui.
Although this bastard was a big tailed wolf, he took good care of her. Hua Ruge decided to not fuss about it anymore.
"Dang, dang, dang!"
She knocked on the door. It was unlocked and opened directly.
Inside, there was only a female servant of the palace cleaning the room, but there was no trace of Tuoba Rui.
If he was there, he wouldn't let a woman in.
"Where are the Battle King people?" Hua Ruge asked.
"In reply to the young master, His Highness left last night. You must have some business with the overseer." The servant girl replied respectfully.
Hua Ruge raised his eyebrows, thinking to himself, why is this person not even greeting me, what matter is he in such a rush for?
"Brother, you're here."
Mao Jun called out, but when he came back to his senses, she had already unknowingly walked to the entrance of the palace.
"What are you thinking about?" Mao Jun asked as he patted her shoulder.
Hua Ruge cursed himself in his heart, exhaled, and said: "Think of your plan this time."
"Usually you're the one with the most ideas, but this time you have to come up with a good idea." The one who spoke was Tuoba Yu who was walking over from behind.
Hua Ruge nodded his head, then asked: "Battle King left last night, did something urgent happen?"
"I haven't heard anything urgent. Maybe it's because we're on the verge of a mission. If Uncle Huang has nothing else to do, then he left." Tuoba Yu said uncertainly.
Hua Ruge did not say anything else.
"Let's go." Tuoba Yu said.
The students scattered and left the palace, which had been suppressing them for a long time.
This was because five hundred gold coins was only enough to open the teleportation circle once, and then only five people could pass through at a time. Ten people would cost a thousand gold coins, and although there were a few nobles who weren't short on money, it wasn't worth it.
Therefore, everyone had no choice but to buy horses and ride their horses to the south, to the border of Selian City, which was the closest to the capital. It wouldn't take long for them to ride a fast horse.
Seeing that almost everyone had left, Hua Ruge said: "Let's take the teleportation circle."
"It's only been ten days from here to Lin An City. Spending a thousand gold coins is not worth it. Moreover, the money is all spent here. We won't have any more to spend in the future." Tuoba Yu calculated.
The few of them could have brought out the money, but it wasn't worth it.
"I have the money, so I'll leave it for you first. Wait until we take the bandits' money, then you can return it to me." Hua Ruge said.
Ever since the bet last time, she had millions of gold coins. Naturally, she didn't lack this small amount of money and wasn't willing to ride on horseback for more than ten days.
As a result, they quickly arrived at Lin An city, which was very close to the capital. Compared to the other border armies, there were more guards here, and the neighboring Shang You knew that this was a difficult situation to deal with.
Lin An city was known as the Jackdaw Mountain, so he decided to rest here and formulate a strategy.
Although there weren't many experts in the Raksha Gang, there were at least ten thousand of them. It was simply impossible for ten people to forcefully attack and even find a place to hide treasures.
A few people in an inconspicuous inn were discussing countermeasures in their rooms.
Mao Jun said first, "I will go and check the terrain of the Jackdaw Mountain tonight. The defense of such a large mountain will definitely not be present in all aspects. As long as there's an opening, we will take advantage of the darkness and set up a sneak attack.
"Brother Mao, you have great attainments in military strategy." Hua Ruge first nodded his head in confirmation, then said with cold water. "But you used a method that requires a thousand people, not ten."
Tuoba Yu nodded his head: "There are indeed too few people."
Mao Jun withered.
"I have an idea." Su Nianxia said in high spirits: "We can disguise as a caravan and let them steal us away from the mountain. Then, we can take advantage of the moment when they relax their guard at night to run out and steal their treasures before escaping."
"Little big brother, this won't do." Su Nianxia looked at Hua Ruge and asked.
Hua Ruge shook his head without even thinking: "According to what I know, the Raksha Gang is only interested in long-term business and is afraid that the two countries might not be able to achieve anything big, so they won't rob the merchant group. They will only want some money."
"And even if they were starving and wanted to rob us, they would either let us go or kill us. They wouldn't rob us from the mountain."
Su Nianxia withered.
Everyone went silent for a moment, then Tuoba Yu said: "I think the problem is that there are still too few people, it is too difficult for a dozen people to snatch something from such a big mountain, we just need to wait for a few strong teams, if we join hands, then we can split what we get then."
After he finished speaking, he looked towards Hua Ruge.
Hua Ruge still shook his head: "Those people might not listen to our commands, if the will of the people does not work the opposite way, if we do not hit him with our first strike, he will have his guard up, and then we will not be able to hit him."
Seeing her blabbering nonstop, they asked in unison, "Then what can you do about it?"
Hua Ruge smiled mysteriously: "Of course I have a way."
"What method?" The few of them listened to her reject so many of them as if they wanted to hear what she could do.
Hua Ruge pushed Su Nianxia to the front of the crowd and said: "We will disguise ourselves as a group to send off our bride. With our young miss Su's beauty, attracting bandits would be much easier for us to climb the mountain."
"This is too risky." Tuoba Yu frowned.
"The bandits can't hurt me, it's not dangerous. I want to play with this." Su Nianxia was the first to state her stance, her small face revealing two dimples when she smiled, her cute appearance made people unable to resist pinching it.
Hua Ruge was very satisfied with her looks.
"But if we go up the mountain like this, we'll be able to snatch the treasure?" Mao Jun was skeptical.
"Don't worry Brother Mao, this is just one of the many links. Although it might not succeed, it is definitely the most detailed one." Hua Ruge said confidently, this was also the reason why she came to Lin An City so early.
There's a lot to do.
"As long as you have the best idea, I'll listen to you." Tuoba Yu nodded in agreement.
Since Hua Ruge knew that so much was not feasible, then he must know that there were still loopholes that he could take advantage of.
"Then everyone will listen to my arrangements for the time being." Hua Ruge asked for everyone's opinion.
Even though Hua Ruge's strength was not that high, he had always been an influential figure. Thus, these people nodded in agreement without even thinking: "Then, we will follow Brother Hua's instructions."
"Alright." Hua Ruge clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention, and said: "I will now draw up a list, and everyone will go to Lin An City to purchase some items, then we will gather at the forest at the east side of the city."
She simply wrote down some of the items needed to send off the bride, as well as some very expensive dowry items. Then, she made everyone focus on buying them. If they found any mistakes, they would fill them in.
After handing over the list to everyone, Hua Ruge took out bags of money and Purple Crystal Cards from his storage space and gave them to him.
The few of them were stunned when they saw the tens of thousands of gold coins. A small clan's wealth was only this much, yet Hua Ruge actually brought so much money with him, and he might not even take all of it out.
No wonder he was so stubborn. He was rich.
Very quickly, all the people left, leaving only Hua Ruge and Su Nianxia in the room.
"Little big brother, I want money too." Su Nianxia looked at her eagerly.
"We have more important things to do." Hua Ruge pinched her nose and said.
Su Nianxia had a puzzled look on his face as he asked, "What's the matter?"
Hua Ruge winked at her: Go find a matchmaker for you.
