Golden Horses?
It was the first time that Mu Yi had heard that name . He had never lived in Luoyang so it wasn’t strange . Besides, there were many bandits in the world . It would have been strange if Mu Yi had known them .
It didn’t matter who they were . They had prepared a plan to steal the convoy’s goods . It was also impossible to tell whether the dark creature from the other evening was from their group or not .
However, Mu Yi was amused when he saw the big guy . Was he the leader of the group? If he wasn’t, it didn’t matter . If he was, it would be fun .
Even though all the bandits had moved back and didn’t attack Big Slave anymore, it didn’t mean that Big Slave was going to let them off . Big Slave only listened to Nian Nuer and Mu Yi . All the bandits saw that Big Slave wasn’t going to stop so they had no choice but to fight .
“I’ll get you!” shouted the big guy .
He noticed that the battlefield was becoming chaotic again . Big Slave killed more people . Cries of pain filled the air . The big guy lifted his ax again and ran at Big Slave .
The big guy lifted his ax with the vigor of a tiger . It looked extremely heavy . The guy was obviously skilled . Big Slave was stronger, though .
Big Slave glanced at the big guy who was running towards him . His expression didn’t change . He didn’t dodge either . He just raised his fist and aimed at the ax .
The sound of the collision resounded in the area and the ax was knocked away . The big guy was forced back by the force of the collision . He crashed into one of the horses .

“How strong,” said the big guy .
He saw that Big Slave was also completely unharmed . Actually, everybody was stunned . All the bandits looked terrified . They went pale as if they had seen a ghost .
The group of bandits knew how strong their leader was . His ax weighed about sixty jin, still, nothing had happened to Big Slave . After Big Slave clashed with the big guy, he glanced around .
The bandits were terrified . They didn’t feel like fighting anymore . They didn’t need to take so many risks . Big slave was too tough . They couldn’t compete with him . They needed to escape, otherwise, their people would continue to die .
From the very moment when Big Slave had appeared, the result of the battle was decided . The big guy looked at his fellow bandits . He could see that they didn’t feel like fighting anymore . The dozen armed escorts were putting pressure on them as well .
The big guy shouted, “Brothers, dismiss! ”
“Roger!” shouted the bandits in unison .
They retreated quickly . The armed escorts didn’t chase them . Even Big Slave didn’t, he just turned around and went to stand next to Mu Yi .
All the escorts were touched because this was the second time Big Slave had saved them . Some people were injured but at least they were all alive . Nothing had happened to the goods either . Big Slave had saved them again .

“Are you alright?” asked Mo Ruyan .
She hadn’t thought things would happen that way . She hadn’t really gotten involved a moment before but she hadn’t left . Big Slave was the best option to deal with the bandits .
“Master, we’re alright thanks to Big Slave . He’s a hero,” said an armed escort .
“Thank you . We owe you,” said Mo Ruyan looking at Mu Yi .
“It’s alright . I just wanted to avoid a disaster,” said Mu Yi, then he turned around and went back to his carriage .
“Young Master,” said Uncle Cai and some of the others .
They were alarmed . The surroundings were really shocking . There were dead horses and bandits and blood everywhere . It had been a terrifying battle .
“Alright, let’s help our injured friends and leave,” said Mo Ruyan .
She didn’t feel like talking too much . The bandits had left already but they couldn’t be certain they wouldn’t come back . Maybe they would even face more dangers on the way . It was better to leave as soon as possible .
“Roger,” said Uncle Cai with a nod, glancing around .

They left rather quickly . At the top of the small mountain, a shadow slowly appeared . It looked at Mo Ruyan . After staring at Mo Ruyan for a long time as they disappeared over the horizon, the shadow turned around and left .
When the shadow left, Mu Yi sensed something . He glanced around but saw nothing .
The convoy arrived in a small village . Many people were injured so it wasn’t convenient to continue . Even though Mo Ruyan was worried about stopping, she also knew what needed to be done .
If they were frightened, injured and continued traveling and faced danger again, they’d be in trouble . All the injured armed escorts wouldn’t be able to help . They’d be easy prey to predators .
They couldn’t possibly do something like that . They had survived today thanks to Big Slave .
They had taken risks . They had acted heroically, but they were all shocked . Especially when they thought about it after . Many of the armed escorts’ legs were still shaking . If it happened again, they wouldn’t have the courage to fight .
“Master, I think we should have a talk with that little Taoist priest . What do you think?” whispered Uncle Cai .
He had gone to see Mo Ruyan in her room . He had been saying the same thing all day .
After realizing that Mu Yi wasn’t really weak and knowing that Big Slave had incredible fighting abilities, he had come up with an idea . Big Slave could destroy hundreds of ordinary enemies alone . If the enemies had no weapons, he could probably even defeat thousands .
If Mu Yi and Big Slave could help them, they would never have such problems again .
“Talk? About what? Ask them to help us?” Mo Ruyan glanced at Uncle Cai indifferently .
She knew what he wanted to say .
“Indeed,” said Uncle Cai .
“Don’t forget that he’s our client . He paid one thousand Liang of gold,” said Mo Ruyan expressionlessly .
“You can give him the one thousand Liang of gold back,” said Uncle Cai .
Even though one thousand Liang of gold was a lot, the armed escorts’ lives were more important . The price of the goods they were carrying were worth more . One thousand Liang of gold was overpriced anyway . Mo Ruyan had asked for more than usual . Since Mu Yi didn’t seem to mind, she had accepted it .
“It’s too late . Even if we propose that to him, he will refuse,” said Mo Ruyan shaking her head .
“Master…” said Uncle Cai .
“Enough . I won’t change my mind . Besides, I will be more careful in the future . I will personally take the night watch . Uncle Cai, you can go back and have a good rest,” said Mo Ruyan firmly .
