Chapter 1971: Catch, catch the fish!
"Why?"
Gao Changwen was anxious.
"When you threw the silver, the refugees around all saw it. In the wilderness, an orphan and a widow carrying 'great wealth'—do you think they can survive the night?"
Gao Changwen's expression changed, and he hurriedly said, "Brother, you must act quickly! I wanted to save her, not harm her!"
Gao Yang said unhurriedly, "As you said, your brother is the world's number one poison strategist, cold and heartless. Why should I save her? Unless..."
Gao Changwen couldn't care about bargaining now and said urgently: "As long as you act, Brother! Besides my kidneys, my firm buttocks—whatever I have on me, you can take it all! Brother, human life is at stake!"
"Brother, human life is at stake!"
A smile appeared on Gao Yang's face, and he shouted outside, "Chen Sheng."
"Subordinate is here!"
"Go, ride a horse and escort that woman for a distance, ensuring she leaves this place safely."
"As you command!"
Chen Sheng received the order and immediately rode off.
Shangguan Wan'er and Chu Qingluan looked at each other, the corners of their mouths lifting in unison.
Clearly, he wanted to act himself, but he had to extort a favor from Gao Changwen—this man, he really has a sharp tongue!
"..."
The carriage moved away.
The woman holding the child in her arms, after a brief moment of ecstasy, immediately felt a bone-chilling cold.
A group of refugees was staring at her with extremely greedy eyes.
A man who was relatively strong, holding a sickle in his hand, was the first to approach her, his mouth twisted hideously, "Hand over the silver! Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"
The woman hugged her child tightly, clutching the silver in her hand, and cried, "This is life-saving money given by a noble person. I beg you, let us orphans and widows go."
"Let you go?"
The man spat, "In this ghostly weather, it gets colder every day. No one has an easy time this winter. You want to survive, but who the hell doesn't want to survive? Hand over the silver!"
For a moment, the surrounding refugees also became restless, closing in step by step.
That little bit of silver meant warm firewood, meant food to survive! It was enough to make people take risks!
The woman closed her eyes in despair.
Whoosh!
Just at this moment.
An arrow, like a bolt from a bow, struck the sickle in the leader's hand with terrifying speed!
And then!
It nailed firmly into the ground beside his feet, the tail of the arrow trembling!
Chen Sheng rode over and said coldly, "You dare to rob a reward from the Duke of Dingguo's residence? Are you tired of living?"
Boom!
As soon as these words were spoken.
All the refugees present were shocked, gasping for air.
They didn't expect that carriage to be from the Duke of Dingguo's residence!
Didn't that mean the Living Yama was sitting inside?
"Get lost!"
Chen Sheng shouted coldly, and the group of refugees retreated immediately.
"The Young Master has ordered me to escort you for a distance. As for the rest, whether you live or die depends on your own fortune." ===== CHAPTER 1973 =====
