Chapter 232: The Master Who Loves Money
The next round of shift change is her only chance to escape.
Two quarters of an hour later, when the shift was changing, Ji Yuntang took advantage of the chaos created by the two waves of people and successfully slipped out of the Blood Rain Gate.
When Xue Feihua woke up, she felt a burning pain on her face, as if it had been swollen by something.
She took a look in the mirror and saw her red and swollen face. Her pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly.
His fingertips touched his cheek, and Xue Feihua sneered.
"Heh, that's interesting."
How dare someone from the Blood Rain Sect hit her, the sect leader?
She suddenly thought of the little bastard who drugged her last night. A scornful smile appeared on her red lips, but a hint of excitement flashed in her eyes.
People in this sect are terrified when they hear her name. How many years has it been since she met such a courageous subordinate?
"Little bastard, you'd better pray that you don't fall into the hands of this sect master, otherwise..."
Before she finished speaking, a subordinate came to report.
"Master, something terrible has happened. The warehouse has been robbed!"
Xue Feihua's whole body trembled. She quickly touched her waist and found that all her keys and tokens were gone.
She instantly became furious and shouted, "Damn you little bastard, you'd better not let me catch you!"
It's okay to hit her in the face, but it's absolutely not okay to rob her purse!
God knows how much she loves money, money is her lifeblood.
No, it's more important than her life.
Xue Feihua put on her clothes and looked at her face in the mirror. She thought for a moment, then took out a veil and put it on before she went out.
"How much silver was stolen from the treasury?"
The subordinate was so frightened that he stammered for a long time before he could utter a complete sentence.
"Reply... reply to the Sect Master. Everything is... gone."
Xue Feihua was so angry that she kicked him in the chest.
"What did you say!!! Say it again!!!"
She suspected that she had heard it wrongly, otherwise how could she have heard the news that all the silver in her warehouse was gone.
The subordinate was kicked several meters away and spit out blood, but he didn't care about anything else and quickly knelt on the ground to explain.
"Master, it's true. All the silver in the warehouse is gone. Even the boxes have disappeared."
"Even the few night-shining pearls that were embedded in the wall and could not be removed were pried away by someone."
Xue Feihua was furious, "Are you all a bunch of good-for-nothings? How could so many people patrolling allow the warehouse to be robbed?"
"What's the point of this sect master keeping a bunch of good-for-nothings like you? It really makes me so angry, so angry!"
When the subordinate heard her call herself "Master", he was extremely frightened and kept staring at her enchanting face.
Xue Feihua realized this only later. Her face turned cold and she said, "Get out of here!"
The subordinate responded and ran away, crawling away.
Xue Feihua rushed into the warehouse and found that it was empty. Even a mouse would be so scared that it would shake its head if it came.
She was so angry that she punched the pillar, and a big hole was instantly smashed through the pillar.
Eighty boxes!
A total of eighty boxes of gold, silver and jewelry!
She is prepared to spend her whole life here living a miserable life and waiting to die!
Unexpectedly, it was all gone overnight!
Although she didn't know how the things in here were stolen, she felt that it must be related to the little bastard who beat her last night.
"You little bastard, we've become enemies now!" Xue Feihua gritted his teeth in anger.
Just then, another voice came to report!
"Master, something terrible has happened!"
"Get lost! Is there anything that could make this sect master more upset than the theft of eighty boxes of gold, silver and jewelry from the warehouse?"
The subordinate said in a panic: "Our people found that a group of imperial court soldiers were coming up the mountain, heading towards our Xueyu Sect."
With a loud "bang", Xue Feihua felt like his brain was about to explode.
First she was beaten into a pig's head, then her entire warehouse was robbed, and then people from the imperial court came to kill her.
Three bad things happened all at once. Was this an attempt to kill her?
"If I had known, I would not have taken over this broken Blood Rain Sect. Not only did I not get any benefit after all this time, but all the money I worked so hard to earn was gone."
Xue Feihua muttered in great dissatisfaction. The subordinate was too far away to hear her words clearly, so he asked again.
"Ah, Master, what did you say?"
"Nothing. I asked you to call your brothers to take out all the weapons in the gate and prepare to defend against the enemy."
"This group of imperial soldiers came with ill intentions. Today, either they die or we die. We must kill them all without leaving a single piece of armor."
When Xue Feihua said this, she seemed to be thinking of something in the past, and there was a hint of gloom in her eyes, which added a bit of hostility to her whole temperament.
Her men didn't notice it and immediately turned around to make arrangements.
This was not the first time they had faced off against imperial officials and soldiers.
On the contrary, I don’t know how many times this has happened.
Therefore, they already have their own set of combat experience.
When Luo Jingshen led five thousand men up the mountain, he was full of confidence. All the way he was thinking about how to kill the people from the Blood Rain Sect without leaving a single piece of armor behind when he met them later.
The people he brought today were all Xuan-class cavalrymen from Dongchen State, and their strength was second only to the Long Yue Army brought by Luo Junhe.
The soldiers who have been tempered in the battlefield have a strong iron-blooded spirit. When facing the mixed group of killers from the Blood Rain Sect, they will surely kill them all without leaving a single piece of armor.
It was precisely because of this idea that Luo Jingshen was very high-profile along the way. He did not listen to the deputy general's words to take a detour or hide his body and wait until dark to go up the mountain.
The road in the mountains was not easy to walk on, and there were a lot of snakes, ants, and mosquitoes. Fortunately, there were soldiers leading the way in front, so Luo Jingshen had a relatively smooth journey.
But what Deputy General Pei Yuanfeng said next made Luo Jingshen feel unhappy in an instant.
"Your Highness, the Blood Rain Sect's base camp is one thousand meters ahead. The enemy's terrain is higher. They are in the dark while we are in the light. We can't move forward any further. We must formulate a battle plan to capture them all in one fell swoop."
Luo Jingshen's eyes darkened and he stared at him coldly.
"Is Deputy General Pei teaching me how to do things?"
"The Blood Rain Sect only has less than 500 people. We can tell from the people who died last night that they are just people with mediocre martial arts skills. How can they compare to our experienced Xuanzi Army soldiers?"
"They have discovered us now. If we don't catch them all at once while we're on the mountain, what if they all run away in fear? Wouldn't my trip be in vain?"
Pei Yuanfeng: "..."
He really wanted to ask Luo Jingshen whether the lives of five thousand soldiers were more important or his trip was more important. Before he could say anything, he saw Luo Jingshen had already led his men forward.
Pei Yuanfeng was helpless. Due to his experience of leading troops on the battlefield, he knew that this journey would not be easy.
