Chapter 356 Bandits
Mo Shu immediately stepped in front of Jia Hu.
"They're bandits! Master, hide quickly!"
It's like when it rains, it pours. Are they dressed like bandits? Now that there's a fire, even the bandits have come down from the mountain.
Jia Hu decided to hide first, but the bandit seemed to be watching him closely, mounting his horse and charging straight at him.
When Jia Hu looked up and saw the bandit leader's malicious gaze, he immediately understood that these bandits were after him, and that they might have started the fire.
Jia Hu acted decisively, grabbing Mo Shu and running towards the guards. The guard leader also noticed something was wrong and immediately turned around, shouting as he rushed towards Jia Hu.
At the shouts of the leader's guards, the guards rushed towards them. Seeing the bandits reach their master, the guard leader immediately swung his sword, piercing one of the bandits, who fell to the ground, horse and rider tumbling. The remaining bandits, on horseback, were already upon them. Mo Shu was kicked by his horse and lay on the ground, his life hanging in the balance.
Jia Hu had just shouted, "Mo Shu!"
He was grabbed and pinned to the horse.
The other guards, wanting to do the same, feared that the swords, being merciless, might injure their young master.
The bandits charged into the crowd, hacking at anyone they saw. Guards rushed to stop them, making the scene even more chaotic. In the chaos, the bandits who had captured Jia Hu were shielded by the surrounding bandits and fled into the distance.
Jia Hu tried to struggle, but a sharp pain in his neck caused him to faint, and he knew nothing more.
The bandit looked at his prey with satisfaction. Although several of his brothers had died, he had made a great contribution this time because of Jia Hu.
The bandits ran all the way out of the city and arrived at another mountain, where Zhen Chenhao was waiting.
Zhen Chenhao looked at the unconscious Jia Hu and smiled with satisfaction:
"I knew it, you guys would make it a piece of cake."
The leader took off his mask and said:
"Reporting to you, sir, we set the entire clinic on fire, and now the whole street is ablaze. That man must have perished in the flames. With a fire that big, no matter how capable he was, he couldn't have escaped."
Zhen Chenhao laughed heartily:
"You've all worked hard and made contributions. Once this is over, I will definitely reward you according to your merits and make sure you don't suffer any losses."
The leader looked at Jia Hu in his hand and said:
"My lord, we originally thought of killing Jia Hu, but after thinking about it, we think he is a good hostage. If we keep him, he can be a bargaining chip in case things are exposed."
Zhen Chenhao nodded in agreement and explained:
"You're right, let's keep him for now; he'll be useful if necessary."
He's the grandson of the Duke of Rongguo, and the Jia family cherishes him like a precious jewel. However, this lad has some unusual qualities; you must be careful and not be deceived by him.
The leader immediately assured him:
"Don't worry, sir. He's in our hands. No matter how capable he is, he won't be able to cause any trouble."
"Okay! Then I'm relieved. In that case, I'll head down the mountain now, otherwise it might arouse suspicion if I stay too long."
"Thank you all for your hard work, brothers. I'll be staying here on the mountain for a while. I've had food and supplies prepared."
The people Zhen Chenhao sent to impersonate bandits this time were all top-notch figures from his training unit. As for the others, they had already been divided into batches and hidden in various places.
The news that a street in the middle of the city had caught fire quickly reached the Zhen family.
Jia Zhen was playing in the courtyard when only the guards rushed back, anxiously gathering their men.
Her brother was missing! Jia Zhen immediately rushed out. "Where is my brother?"
