Chapter 171
171 Who are you and what are you hiding
No sooner did the man turn to look at Liu Yuyang, the latter narrowed his eyes as he looked at the man. He did not know why but for some reason, he thought that he has seen this man before, but where?
” You two do not seem like bandits,” Liu Yuyang took his sword out from its sheathe and then raised it such that he was aiming the tip at the neck of the man who was standing in front of him. ” The things that you stole all belong to my sister and I cannot allow you two to take them, hand it all over or I will have your head and deliver it to my sister.”
Zhai Tianyu ground his teeth, of all the warehouses from which he could have stolen money, he just have to steal from the warehouse that had things that belonged to Liu Hui Ying. But then again who would have thought that Minister Liu will keep such a big amount for his daughter, just how much that man adored his daughter?
If he was wrong then Liu Hui Ying had at least twenty thousand or even more gold taels in her dowry and the silver taels were simply uncountable. If not his grandmother wouldn’t have kept the money in her hands, the Money that the Queen owned was too much to be given to her.
But what happened had already happened, there was no way he would be able to change it. After much pondering, he realised that there was only one option left in front of him and that was —
He took his own sword out of its sheath and then aimed it at Liu Yuyang who was already aiming his sword at him, when Liu Yuyang noticed his actions, his eyes narrowed as he sneered, ” I see, you have a lot of guts to steal from the Liu family.”
As soon as he spoke, he pounced at Zhai Tianyu with agile footing he reached Zhai Tianyu within seconds and even though Liu Yuyang looked calm and fragile, his swordsmanship was not a joke. Not only did he attack with apt precision but all his attacks were ruthless and cruel, if Zhai Tianyu was not his opponent, the other person would have died by now.
Zhai Tianyu dodged the sword that was aimed at his throat by blocking Liu Yuyang’s sword with his own. Zhai Heng made a move but Zhai Tianyu shook his head, he might be working as a thief tonight but he was not a bandit who will kill his victim by making use of the fact that his opponent was alone.
” As expected,” Liu Yuyang caught the small movements of the two men and his eyes narrowed even further as he started to put more pressure on the sword that he was holding. ” You two are not bandits are you?” Then he raised his hand and then added swiftly. “Let’s see who is behind this mask.”
.....
However, as soon as he raised his hand to take the mask off of the man who was standing in front of him, the man twisted his body such that he turned to the left and then dodged his hand sending his sword back.
Liu Yuyang understood that something fishy was going on, if the man was a simple bandit he would not have shown such a huge reaction just because his face was being disclosed to someone. His eyes flickered with a strange glint as he rushed at the man again and started attacking him with renewed enthusiasm but the more he tried to see who was the one who was behind the mask, the more the man tried to hide his face.
“What are you hiding?” Liu Yuyang asked as he swept his sword at the mask of the man who leaned his body back and dodged the attack that was aimed at his face. Seeing him dodge Liu Yuyang took advantage of the fact that the man could not defend himself and stretched his hand to take the mask off but as soon as he stretched his hand to take the mask of the man off, the one who was behind him threw a small bomb at him.
When Liu Yuyang heard the slight hiss of the bomb that came rolling under his legs, he immediately took a step back and flew over to the roof of the abandoned hut that was on his left.
The two bandits took advantage of the fact that Liu Yuyang was away from them and then ran away using their exceptional Qing Qong just as the small bomb exploded sending the dust and pebbles flying all over the surrounding.
Liu Yuyang covered his face with his sleeves and then waited for the smoke of the bomb to vanish before he jumped off the roof and then walked over to the corner where the dagger that he has sent at the man sticking. The dagger’s tip had a small piece of cloth that was cut off from the sleeves of the man who was hiding his face.
He took hold of the cloth and rubbed it with his thumb and fingers before he narrowed his eyes and looked at the cloth whose fabric was much finer than the one a bandit could even use.
” A rich man huh?” he mused as he tilted his head to the side. ” Why would a rich man steal from Hui Ying’s treasury?”
....
Liu Hui Ying who was sneaking out of the courtyard suddenly felt her eyes twitch as she looked behind her, she did not know why but suddenly she felt as if she has made a big loss.
” What’s wrong?” Jia Li asked her when she saw that Liu Hui Ying was not jumping from the roof of her courtyard. ” Why are you looking behind?”
“Nothing,” Liu Hui Ying turned to look in the front and then hopped off the roof of the wall that was covering her courtyard and then said, ” I just felt something important was taken away from me.”
“Stop talking about that...”Li Gang muttered while pointing to the horizon as he said, ” Look at that, that pearly orb is back.”
