“`
“Luo brother, just wait a bit longer, it should be soon…”
“`
Tang Jian swallowed his saliva, wiped the large beads of sweat seeping from his forehead, and spoke with less certainty than he would have liked.
So, under the glaring sun and the warm rays of light…
Barely half an hour had passed.
But at this moment…
The Tang Family’s merchant convoy that Tang Jian had anticipated still hadn’t appeared.
“Hiss…”
“Damn, could I have calculated it wrong?”
“That shouldn’t be…”
This was an outcome Tang Jian had surmised after multiple calculations.
There shouldn’t have been any mistakes.
But why, with the time almost right,
Had the convoy not yet appeared?
“General, it looks like someone is coming…”
Just when Tang Jian was increasingly uncertain, a deputy general by Luo Yong’s side spoke out excitedly.
Hearing this, Tang Jian and Luo Yong looked towards the front.
Indeed, not far ahead,
a merchant convoy flying the Tang Family’s flag was slowly making its way towards them.
And visibly so,
this convoy seemed to be carrying a substantial amount of grain.
“Luo brother, the Tang Family’s convoy… has arrived!!!”
After taking a deep breath of relief, Tang Jian squeezed out a smile and excitedly said to Luo Yong beside him.
“I see it,”
Luo Yong responded quietly with a nod.
Afterward, he focused all his attention on the approaching convoy.
What followed was a calculated move against the unprepared.
With the element of surprise, taking down the entire guard of the Tang Family’s merchant convoy
was not a difficult task for Luo Yong.
The real challenge for Luo Yong was how to transport the enormous amount of grain back to the Luo Family’s granary in Qingshi Town.
Still, it wasn’t entirely unsolvable.
…
After laboring for a full five hours,
Luo Yong and his three thousand elite soldiers
finally managed to quietly transport this batch of grain close to Qingshi Town.
In the process, they had encountered some people from the Tang Family.
Fortunately, those from the Tang Family were few in number and none had a cultivation level exceeding the Intermediate Stage of Bone Refinement.
Dealing with those Tang Family patrols
was not particularly difficult.
…
“So, these grains were all snatched from the Tang Family’s hands?”
Outside a now cram-full grain warehouse of the Luo Family in Qingshi Town,
Luo Ping looked on in astonishment.
“What snatched? This is called borrowing…”
Luo Yong glanced at his elder brother Luo Ping with a hint of resignation.
“Fine, borrowing it is,”
Luo Ping nodded silently, and then with renewed excitement, asked Luo Yong, “After ‘borrowing’ this batch of grain, can we continue to ‘borrow’ from the Tang Family?”
“If we could get another batch of this size…
Our Luo Family wouldn’t be short on grain for a while,”
“Even to last until the next harvest.”
“That shouldn’t be a problem, I suppose.”
“Difficult!” Luo Yong shook his head with a somewhat helpless expression and said, “After this batch is ‘borrowed’ by us, the Tang Family will surely be more cautious and vigilant.
“It’s probably not possible to act again…”
As he spoke, Luo Yong appeared to recall something, then he patted Tang Jian on the shoulder and smiled, “Being able to ‘borrow’ the grain so smoothly from the Tang Family this time, the main credit goes to Old Brother Tang. Without him, we probably couldn’t have ‘borrowed’ this batch…”
“Oh?” Luo Ping turned his head in surprise.
He glanced at Tang Jian standing next to Luo Yong; disbelief flashed across his eyes.
That so-called Tang Jian, in his memory,
was nothing but a big talker, highly sociable, and good at speaking.
Apart from offering up a…
No, to be precise, apart from offering up half a Low-grade Spirit Stone,
he didn’t have any other notable qualities.
And now, to his surprise…
the main contributor to this event turned out to be the big talker.
“Alright, I understand the situation now,”
Luo Ping nodded and took another look at Tang Jian beside him.
He then turned and quietly left the place.
There were still a pile of matters waiting for him to handle within the Luo Family.
This brief departure was already a respite from his busy schedule.
…
“Brother Tang, your contributions will be remembered by the Luo Family,”
“And do remember, if there are more good opportunities like this in the future, make sure to come find me,”
“I must go now, some matters need attending to in the camp…”
Luo Yong patted Tang Jian’s shoulder once more.
After saying that, he left with a hearty laugh.
The current Family Head of the small Old Tang Family, being Tang Jian,
watched Luo Yong leave before lowering his head thoughtfully.
Where had the problem occurred?
Tang Jian still hadn’t figured it out.
According to his calculations, the Tang Family’s convoy should have appeared at high noon, right when the sun was blazing.
But it seemed he had miscalculated the time of the convoy’s appearance.
Thankfully, he had only miscalculated the time and not the place of the convoy’s arrival.
Otherwise…
Given the initial circumstances,
he really wasn’t sure how he would have explained it to Luo Yong.
“In the future, I must be more accurate with such matters,”
“Even a minor error could lead to a completely different outcome in any event.”
