Chapter 1728: Again and Again Editor: Henyee Translations
The Lord of the Prefect seemed destined to become a spendthrift.
In due time, those who felt wronged by him would settle their scores!
They were not willing to bear such a significant loss.
Learning of the Min Family Tribe’s sentiments, Liuhe Fort carefully considered the situation and formulated a similar plan.
The Tiger Head Tribe had reaped considerable benefits, with their second-in-command being the second person to descend the mountain.
Unexpectedly, he was struck in the abdomen by an arrow, causing profuse bleeding and extreme pain.
Recovery would take at least half a year, prompting him to endure the suffering temporarily.
Revenge, as the saying goes, is a dish best served cold!
Towns close to Anze Province promptly delivered the seeds, while those farther away saw the daily dispatch of escort teams to their respective locations, ensuring swift progress.

The Fan Family and the Mei Family, anticipating Shao Yunduan’s embarrassment, were taken aback.
Initially assuming that the Mountain Kings had refrained from another attack, further investigation revealed the battle had concluded before it even commenced.
What was Lord Shao up to?
His actions were truly unpredictable!
Old Lady Fan, angered by what felt like another slap in the face, refused to back down.
She covertly sent benefits to the Tiger Head Tribe, urging them to act again.
A lesson needed to be taught to the Lord of the Prefect State!
Reluctantly agreeing to the Fan family’s request, the Tiger Head Tribe couldn’t afford to appear afraid of the bookish Prefect, fearing damage to their reputation.
Cao Meng, the second-in-command, bedridden and cursing Shao Yunduan incessantly, now saw an opportunity for revenge through an alliance with the Fan Clan.
He was determined not to let it slip away, no matter the cost.
Unable to take action personally, he delegated the task to his trusted subordinates.
Consequently, his right-hand men, accompanied by the third-in-charge, Jin Shan, and twenty brothers, were dispatched.
Acting on information provided by the Fan family, they attempted another ambush.
Though the number of brothers descending the mountain was limited this time, each one was a meticulously chosen elite.
Their objective extended beyond merely seizing the rice seeds; they sought revenge for the injured second-in-charge.
The second-in-charge insisted that, if the rice seeds couldn’t be taken, they should be set ablaze.
Even if reduced to ashes, they must not fall into the hands of the officials!
Equipped with oil, the plan was to swiftly pour it into the carriage transporting the rice seeds and ignite the fire.
The move was undoubtedly ruthless, but given Cao Meng’s severe injuries and unreleased anger, such viciousness was almost expected.
This marked the final leg of the long-distance escort.
After this journey, the need for long-distance escorts would cease.
Safer routes awaited, with no dense forests or valleys to navigate.
Although Sun Bai, Sun Qian, and the others outwardly relaxed, internally, their training demanded vigilance until the mission’s completion.
Just as goshawks exert their full strength to capture rabbits, the habit of not letting the guard down until the last moment prevailed.
When Jin Shan and his subordinates charged aggressively, Sun Bai and Sun Qian were initially surprised by their persistence and fearlessness.
Yet, they remained composed.
With swift shouts and orders, bailiffs rushed to protect the rice seed-laden carriage, while Sun Bai, Sun Qian, and their companions drew their swords to confront the assailants.
The chaotic battle’s outcome became evident swiftly.
Burning with anger, Sun Bai, Sun Qian, and the others had spared these adversaries once before, but this time, they harbored no intentions of showing mercy.
