Chapter 615

Xinye’s defenders surrounded Liu Mang’s group after Guo Yi gave the order.


“Sir. Protect yourself.” The stable boy saw what was going on and took his distance. He did not want to be caught up in the battle.


“I want to see who dares!” Zhou Cang shouted as he stood in front of Liu Mang.


“You even dare to resist? You must be rebels! Kill them all!” Guo Yi was ruthless. He who wanted money was now prepared to kill.


“Wait!” Liu Mang narrowed his eyes as he looked at Guo Yi. Though he was angry, he did not show it on his face.


“Hm?” Guo Yi looked at Liu Mang suspiciously.


“General. I did not steal this horse but found this horse during my journey. So it is your horse. Since we have met, I should return this horse to its rightful owner.” Liu Mang said as he cupped his fist at Guo Yi.


“Oh?” Guo Yi could not help but be amazed at the young man. He had believed that these easy marks would become angry and even try to fight when he covet their horses. He would either throw them in prison or kill them depending on the situation. After all, he also had many soldiers under his command at Xinye. He never expected the young man to surrender so readily.   Guo Yi was already being very rude. Now that the other side had surrendered so readily, he did not want to make things more troublesome.


“Milord?” Zhou Cang looked at Liu Mang in confusion. They did not take the fastest route to Shouchun and chose to come here instead. Now they even lost their horse. How were they supposed to return to Shouchun? Are they going to walk back? It was not even possible to buy any horses now. Guo Yi was not placed in his eyes at all. He was confident that if he worked together with Liu Mang and Guan Hai, they could easy capture that Guo Yi.


“So you simply found the horses! In that case, I won’t argue!” Guo Yi nodded. Since he already got the horses, there was no need to kill people.


“General! These people are suspicious. We should arrest them!” The gatekeeper from earlier became anxious. He had informed Guo Yi about the horses and allowed Guo Yi to benefit. So he was expecting some kind of benefit from himself. He believed that these outsiders were pretty rich.


“Hm?” Guo Yi glanced at the gatekeeper. As both he and his people were all greedy, he naturally understood them. He knew that his men wanted the outsider’s money.


“Handle this matter yourself.” Guo Yi did not want to interfere nor did he want to disappoint his men. After all, it was this person that told him about the horses.


“Thank you General!” The gatekeeper smiled and thanked his superior.


Each person gets three mu1 of farmland so three people would give nine.


“Men! Arrest these people!” The gatekeeper ordered.


“Hm?” Liu Mang could not understand what was going on. Didn’t these people want horses? He gave away his horses so easily because he was afraid of returning to Shouchun and was procrastinating. Guo Yi had kindly given him an excuse to avoid returning to Shouchun by taking away his horse. He also didn’t have enough money to buy another horse.


Yet after giving his horse away, he was still getting arrested?


“Oh how pitiful to be taken away by Zhou the Exploiter!” The busybodies among the common people commented when they saw the gatekeeper’s actions. Zhou the Exploiter was well known in Xinye due to his greed. He could not do much when the Governor was around but was free to act since the Governor had gone missing.


“Do they want to kill us?”2 Liu Mang furrowed his brows. If this was the case, he would have to fight his way out.
