CHAPTER 82: Ambush on the Imperial Throne!
As they sped along, Chu Yang took out a water pouch and tossed it to Gu Duxing, saying, “Duxing, give everyone a sip. The enemy might catch up at any moment!”
“Got it!” Gu Duxing didn’t know what it was, but he understood that Chu Yang’s actions had a purpose. He took a sip himself and then passed it to Dong Wushang, who also took a sip before tossing it to Rocky Luo.
They went around in a circle, and each person had a sip of water.
Only then did Gu Duxing ask, “Boss, what’s the use of this water?”
“A sip can protect against all poisons for one hour!” Chu Yang replied softly.
“Indeed, it’s from the Ou Clan!” Gu Duxing’s expression turned cold in an instant.
Poison protection… there was no one else it could be other than the Ou Clan.
“Surely the Ou Clan wants to seize the resources in your hands?” Dong Wushang said solemnly. He was usually taciturn, but he was very perceptive about such matters.
“Exactly.” Chu Yang nodded.
“The Ou Clan is truly ungrateful!” Ji Mo spat angrily, saying, “If it weren’t for you, Boss, Ou Duxiao would have been embarrassed on Dingjun Mountain representing the Ou Clan! Now the Ou Clan actually repays kindness with enmity; they are truly despicable!”
Gu Duxing chuckled and said, “However, the Ou Clan seems to have overthought it. If they directly confronted us in a battle, they might have had a chance. But instead, they foolishly sent out Ou Duxiao, trying to lure us into their manor for an all-out ambush, taking advantage of the terrain…”
“What a pity that their plans were outsmarted. Boss discovered this in advance, allowing us to scatter and escape. In the end, Boss went in to trade, and they were left furious but too afraid to act… Hahaha…” Dong Wushang suddenly understood and couldn’t help but laugh with satisfaction.
“Boss, it seems you’ve gained something from entering the Ou Clan?” Rocky Luo asked curiously.
“Not much, just spent eight billion in the Ou Clan! Bought more than half of their rare materials.” Chu Yang smiled. “And I conveniently took a few things from their medicinal herb vault…”
“Impressive… Boss, you truly are impressive…” The four brothers gave a thumbs up in admiration, completely in awe.
To go to someone else’s home, into their treasure vault, and actually steal their belongings… this skill was indeed rare.
Of course, they had no idea how much Chu Yang had stolen; they assumed he had only taken a little. They couldn’t even imagine that their boss was greedy enough to raid their entire medicinal herb vault…
What he called ‘taking a little’ was far from just ‘a little.’
Now, the Ou Clan’s medicinal herb vault was completely empty, except for the Heavenly Fragrance Jade Boxes.
Well, there should still be some ashes in each jade box…
“If we continue for another three hundred miles, we should reach the Yin Wind Forest; that should be a good place!” Gu Duxing said. “The terrain there is complex and suitable for guerrilla warfare!”
He paused and added, “However… there’s one thing we need to be cautious about. Since the Ou Clan is planning to act, they should know that ordinary thrones are just easy pickings for us! Therefore, they will definitely deploy imperial level experts! And not just one!”
“This battle is extremely dangerous, and it’s very likely we could be completely wiped out. Even if we are lucky, there will definitely be casualties! Everyone should be aware of this!” Gu Duxing said. “Now, if any of you want to withdraw, you can do so now and take another direction. We won’t stop you or force you!”
These words were clearly directed at the ten thrones of his own family. He knew his brothers wouldn’t back down.
After saying that, there was a long silence.
Gu Duxing’s heart sank as he said, “There’s no need for anyone to force themselves. After all, in matters of life and death, there might be unforeseen circumstances. And if any of you leave, if we face any mishaps, I would appreciate it if you could inform the family; I would be immensely grateful!”
