Chapter 150 Robbery?
Chapter 150 Robbery?
"Maybe." Arataki Ichito scratched his head and came closer: "But how do we develop it further?"
"Wait for the opportunity, that day will come." King Hao smiled mysteriously and turned to leave.
[Yes, this will be arranged]
Luo Kun looked at everyone and said seriously, "Save your energy, we'll continue our journey tomorrow."
Araki Ichito patted his chest and responded confidently, "I understand. I'll go buy some fresh ingredients later." His eyes revealed excitement, "Uncle Luo Kun, you must pay close attention to my newly acquired cooking skills.
After saying that, Ara Taki Ichito rushed out to buy ingredients. After a while, he returned with bags of fresh ingredients, his face filled with a satisfied smile.
Over here, Luo Xiaoyue had already tied on her apron, ready to show off her skills. The servants also gathered around and volunteered to help. The kitchen suddenly became lively, with the sounds of cutting and washing vegetables intertwined.
Luo Xiaoyue expertly picked up a kitchen knife and cut the ingredients into even pieces, her movements neat and tidy. The servants busied themselves passing around seasonings and cleaning pots and pans, working in perfect harmony.
Meanwhile, Luo Kun was chatting leisurely with a white-haired old man, who was sitting in a rocking chair, rocking gently, his face full of traces of time.
Luo Kun smiled and asked, "Old man, are you familiar with the road conditions around here?"
The old man narrowed his eyes slightly, reminiscing and said, "It's very familiar. I've walked this area for most of my life. When you go tomorrow, be careful of that path. It's been raining a lot recently, so it's a bit muddy."
Luo Kun nodded gratefully. "Thank you for your reminder. Is there anything special we should pay attention to along the way?"
The old man coughed lightly a few times and said slowly, "There is another valley where there are many ferocious beasts. You must be careful."
Luo Kun listened carefully and nodded from time to time to show that he understood.
At this moment, waves of tempting aroma wafted from the kitchen. Ara Taki Ichito stood aside, his eyes fixed on Luo Xiaoyue's every move, and she kept muttering, "This dish must be delicious. The cooking skills I learned are definitely correct."
Arata Ichito said to himself: "It looks simple enough. I'll cook when I get a chance."
……
After saying goodbye to the old man, they set out on a new journey in the first rays of sunshine in the morning.
At first, the path was relatively flat, and their steps were brisk and powerful. Luo Kun walked in front, his gaze fixed firmly ahead, guiding the group. Ara Taki Ichito, on the other hand, was full of energy, humming little tunes and occasionally skipping along the way, seemingly possessed of boundless energy. Luo Xiaoyue and the servants followed closely behind, all chatting and laughing, the atmosphere light and cheerful.
However, as the journey progressed, the terrain became increasingly rugged. A steep slope loomed before them, and the rocks beneath their feet became loose. Luo Kun cautiously tested each step, reminding those behind him to be cautious. Araki Ichito put aside his playful behavior and climbed with a focused expression. Luo Xiaoyue, though struggling, gritted her teeth and persevered, not wanting to fall behind.
After climbing the hillside, they encountered another turbulent stream. The water rushed, making a gurgling sound. Luo Kun searched for a place to cross the river, finally finding a shallow ford where the current slowed down. He was the first to step into the water, steadily advancing step by step. The others followed closely behind, holding hands. The icy water soaked their trouser legs, but no one complained.
Beyond the stream, they found themselves in a dense forest. Tall trees blocked out the sun, leaving only patches of sunlight filtering through the leaves. The air was filled with a damp scent, and the ground was covered with thick fallen leaves, rustling with every step. They carefully avoided overgrown branches and thorns, keeping a constant eye out for any wild animals.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, we finally emerged from the forest. Everyone was exhausted, but the thought of the road ahead gave them courage.
After another long trek, they finally saw the bridge, which spanned a deep gorge. Below the bridge was a turbulent river with a deafening roar.
Luo Kun stopped and said with a gasp, "Let's take a break first and cross the bridge after we have recovered our strength." Everyone found a stone to sit on, some drank water, some wiped their sweat.
Arata Ichito looked at the bridge and said, "We're finally here. After crossing this bridge, we should be one step closer to our destination."
Luo Xiaoyue nodded, "Yes, but this bridge looks a bit dangerous, we have to be careful."
After a short rest, they stood up and walked towards the bridge entrance. But at this moment, a group of treasure-stealing gangs suddenly appeared and blocked their way.
The members of the treasure-stealing group, all ferocious-looking and armed, blocked their way. At this time, the sky was covered with dark clouds and the wind was howling, adding a bit of oppression to the tense atmosphere.
"I built this road and built this bridge. If you want to pass through here, you have to leave some money for passage!" The leader of the treasure-stealing group shouted loudly.
Luo Kun frowned, took a step forward, and said in a deep voice: "How dare you rob people in broad daylight? Do you have any respect for the law?"
The treasure-stealing group burst into laughter. "The law? In this wilderness, we are the law!"
Ara Taki Ichito and Luo Xiaoyue smiled at each other, a sly glint in their eyes. Ara Taki Ichito crossed his arms and said, "You think you can rob us? You're really overestimating yourself."
Luo Xiaoyue also echoed: "Come on, let us play with you."
With that, the two of them flashed and charged into the treasure-hunting group. Their movements were agile and varied, seemingly random dodging, yet they always deftly avoided the raiders' attacks. The surrounding trees swayed in the wind, their leaves rustling, as if they too were tense for the intense battle. Aratake Ichito dodged left and right, occasionally making faces, annoyed the raiders to their core. Luo Xiaoyue, on the other hand, darted between the enemies like a fluttering butterfly, making it impossible for the raiders to even touch her hem.
The treasure-stealing group was fooled around by the two of them, and they were exhausted and out of breath, but they didn't even touch the corner of their clothes.
"These two guys are so cunning!" someone in the treasure-hunting group shouted.
"Don't be in a hurry, catch it slowly!" another person shouted.
However, no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't touch Huang Long Yidou and Luo Xiaoyue at all. At this time, the dark clouds in the sky were getting lower and lower, and the atmosphere was getting more and more solemn.
Just when the treasure-stealing group was about to collapse, Huang Long Yidou and Luo Xiaoyue's eyes suddenly changed and became fierce in an instant.
Huang Long Yidou threw a punch, hitting a member of the treasure-stealing group in the abdomen, knocking him to the ground. Luo Xiaoyue kicked another person in the chest, sending him flying.
The two men's attacks were like a sudden storm. The treasure-stealing group had no time to react and were knocked to the ground one after another.
"Hmph, you dare to rob us." Huang Long Yidou said disdainfully.
Luo Xiaoyue clapped her hands, "You're a guy who doesn't know his own limitations."
