"Don't worry!"
Liu San said darkly, "There are people of mine in their caravan. Li Yuan would never dream that I know every move he makes!"
"Chief, someone's coming!"
At that moment, a lackey came running over. The several people who had been arguing all turned to look.
The Silver-Haired Elder, who had spoken up as a mediator earlier, asked, "How many are coming? Is it the Li Family's caravan?"
"A fairly large caravan—around twenty carriages. Leading the way are a black leopard and several wolves."
The lackey responded, "The wheel tracks of those carriages are very deep. They're all being pulled by snow-stepping horses, so the cargo must be very heavy."
"It's them!"
Liu Sanlong looked excited. "That fellow somehow recruited a beast tamer. He must have gone mad—he actually didn't hire an escort agency."
"A leopard! Wolves!"
The Silver-Haired Elder furrowed his brows. He always felt that things weren't so simple.
"A leopard and wolves? Who knows how many of those things I can kill in a day!"
Lai Wu stepped forward. "Since Elder Silver isn't willing to take charge, then my Lai Family Stronghold will take the lead. Brothers, let's go!" With that, he ignored everyone else's gazes and led his men away.
"Let's go!"
The bald Huang Sa was the second to respond. He also left with over a hundred men.
As if it had triggered a chain reaction, one bandit chief after another led his men away. Seeing this, Liu Sanlong followed them as well. This time, to ensure nothing went wrong, he had spread the news far and wide, and the number of bandit leaders who came was greater than expected.
Liu Sanlong didn't care, though. He would be the one handling the stolen goods in the end, so he couldn't possibly lose out.
