Chapter 776: Simply let go and go big!

~6 min read 1,090 words

The night was as dark as ink, the stars and moon blocked by thick clouds.

At an inconspicuous corner of the east wall of the Old King's Mansion, two heads, one large and one small, silently emerged, both wrapped up tightly.

The Great King craned his neck to look, Little Gold's big head piled atop his own; a man and a beast surveyed the surroundings with grave seriousness, while Wei Shen lounged behind, arms crossed, lying flat as he waited for a lift.

After the patrolling unit outside had gone far away, the Great King hurriedly grabbed a corner of Little Gold's black headscarf and earnestly urged.

"Remember! Our mission this time is to disturb the enemy, not harm anyone. Everyone inside is our own people; we're just playing with them, we still need people! Got it?"

Little Gold, its head cocked from being pulled, gave a silly nod, not really comprehending much.

"You take us in… this way, you also bring along your lagging cousin; later have him buy you a Feed Beast Pill for travel expenses!" Well, Ling Yin wouldn't have to waste that money.

"If you say anything else, Little Gold Sir might not understand; but if you talk about food, even a level-ten comprehension would still get twisted." Upon hearing that, Little Gold turned to size up Wei Shen, determined to remember the face that owed it a debt.

Wei Shen finally grew impatient.

He grabbed the Great King, who was about to climb onto Little Gold's back, and said, "Hold on! Am I paying my own way?"

"Otherwise? It's not like I summoned you." No time to wrangle with him; Bai Li·Da Li Shi·Jing casually dragged his cousin up.

No sooner had he settled on Little Gold's back than Wei Erha instantly forgot his huge debt.

The mighty beast's pressure weighed on me like a mountain on my shoulders, my heart involuntarily tightening. This is Little Gold Sir, capable of crossing dozens of miles in an instant! I'm actually riding Little Gold Sir?!

Seeing him dazed, the Great King hurriedly urged, "Hold tight to me!" No sooner had the words left his mouth than Little Gold moved.

Its back arched and sank; I felt the muscles beneath me surge, wind rushing past my ears, as Little Gold leapt straight up onto the wall of the Old King's Mansion.

The sole wall of the Old King's Mansion worth mentioning was crossed as easily as walking on flat ground……

The Great King fumed: "This is too aggravating! No need to even step in the middle for leverage……" Not an ounce of respect for the palace his royal father built for him!

Wei Shen's mind held only one thought: Little Gold Sir is truly the essential tool for banditry, looting, arson, killing, and plunder!

Little Gold Sir stood on the wall for a moment, then without even looking down, went "thud" and landed, not absorbing any impact at all. The Great King, furious, grabbed a handful of its long fur, shouting, "Ancestors! Land lightly!"

Little Gold turned its head, its sole visible large eye blinking innocently; at this moment it again failed to understand human speech.

Aside from night patrols, the camp had fallen completely into sleep. The Great King, familiar with the gates and roads, directed the way, probing deep into the encampment. First stop: the War Horse Stables. He knew the five thousand war horses and saddles, etc., of the Xiongnu cavalry were already in place.

The Great King led the team smoothly into the Horse Stables, just thinking where to leave a "Kilroy was here" mark, when Little Gold's tail unconsciously flicked~

Clang—clatter—!

Several pieces of equipment on the rack toppled over.

"What's the commotion?!" a patrol soldier's harsh shout came from afar.

Little Gold, feeling guilty, retracted its tail; the head wrapped in the black headscarf shrank back. The Great King kicked it angrily, and the creature, feigning weakness, lunged into the neighboring haystack. Just moments ago an unbreakable battle alliance, they instantly turned on each other.

Even if the Black Wind Horse's legs were superb, it still feared the Ferocious Beast. The horses in the stables were suddenly startled, began to whinny uneasily; the camp, which had been peaceful, was now fully awake.

Wei Shen puckered his lips at Ling Yin, saying, "From the moment we set out, I could tell from their outfits that tonight would be a good show, or rather a comedy. If this happens again, Ling Commander should notify me to join the spectators—sole enjoyment is no match for shared fun~"

Ling Yin's face was expressionless·JPG

……The Great King, speechless, asked the heavens. His grand plan—had it not even begun and already ended?!

No, he would absolutely not resign himself to fate!

Simply let go and go big!

The Great King grabbed Little Gold's hind legs and shoved it toward the door. "Charge out! Let's throw them into utter chaos! See how long they take to organize a full-camp counterattack!"

The Great King contributed a tenth of the effort, the remaining nine-tenths automatically supplied by Little Gold Sir; it lunged forward, and the wooden door of the War Horse Stables burst apart! Little Gold Sir, covered in straw, leapt out of the Horse Stables and collided head‑on with the soldiers who had come to investigate.

In the thick night, all that could be seen was a dark, hulking mass bursting out of the Horse Stables. The patrol squad exclaimed in shock, "Did the war horses run out?!"

Little Gold Sir dared not open its mouth at the frail humans; a flick of its tail sent two people flying! It then casually swiped its claws at a couple more—under the beast's claws, humans had no power to resist.

The villainous Great King seized the moment to leap out and shout, "Let's take over the camp, tonight we'll score big! Food, drink, horses, weapons—all ours! Charge! ~"

Most of the soldiers lying on the ground were from the Northern Border Army; after their bewilderment, they finally reacted.

"It's an enemy raid! Someone's broken into the camp! An enemy raid! ……"

"Sound the gong—!"

"Enemy raid! Wake up!"

Wei Shen watched wide‑eyed as a man and a beast stirred up the commotion of ten thousand troops; meanwhile the great Little Gold Sir, despite the Great King's many shouts, only caught the four words "food and drink", twitched its nose, turned, and charged straight for the kitchen.

How could Little Gold Sir not know where the goodies are?! Even though it smells nothing like fragrance.
