Chapter 31: Life-saving grace, pledge of life

Gu Hua was blocked in the secret passage for a while by Shah Rukh who walked into the room to go to sleep, and he was unable to get out because of the frustration.

After Mu Feng led his men away, the bearded man said with a look of shame and apology: "I will find a way to return the money I charged you for leading the way when I return."

“As for the goods you lost, I really can’t afford to compensate, but I’m not one of those people who shirks responsibility or doesn’t take responsibility.

I will sign a contract to sell myself when I return, and work like a slave for the owner of the goods you lost, and use my whole life to repay the debt."

The bearded man's words made Mu Feng and Fang Kuan, who originally thought that he and Shah Rukh were working together to steal their goods, change their minds slightly.

However, their faces were still grim. They shipped the goods for the transaction but did not bring back the payment. How could they have the face to explain to their masters?

"Hey, isn't this Hu Da?"

Everyone looked at Balin, who was holding a bandaged wrist and leading a group of younger brothers, with a mocking and sarcastic look on his face, blocking the way in front of them.

"Big merchants, you must have sold your goods at a high price when you traded with Shah Rukh."

"Hahaha--"

Anyone could see that these people must have received news that their goods had been robbed, and were waiting here deliberately to laugh at them.

.........

Gu Hua hid in the cellar until she heard snoring from above. She then moved her stiff body and crawled out of the secret passage as quietly as possible.

In order not to crush the little ones in her belly, Gu Hua slowly moved sideways out from under the bed.

I stood up and vaguely saw a person lying on the bed.

Touching his big belly, Gu Hua didn't plan to attack this northern barbarian in order to avoid unnecessary trouble.

But things went counterproductive.

The moment Gu Hua successfully slipped out of the room.

Shah Rukh on the bed woke up as if he sensed something. He looked sideways at the room and found nothing unusual, so he closed his eyes and prepared to go back to sleep.

After Gu Hua came out, he went to find his own goods that were left behind by Shah Rukh in a robbery manner, and then put them all into the space without any hesitation.

Gu Hua was about to jump over the wall and run to freedom when he suddenly heard a voice behind him shouting, "Hurry up, there are thieves breaking in."

With a roar, the courtyard was instantly brightly lit again.

Out of vigilance, Shah Rukh, who was originally planning to continue sleeping, decided to get up and check.

As soon as I looked over, I found a figure climbing over the wall.

Gu Hua ran to the main street of the town and soon heard the sound of pursuit behind her. She immediately turned into an alley to avoid being seen by others.

The noise of Shahrukh's men holding torches and searching for people woke up the other people living in the town. However, everyone just stuck their heads out to look, as if it was commonplace and no one ran out to inquire curiously.

Gu Hua hid in the dark alley, watching the flickering torches getting closer and closer to him, and immediately climbed into a small courtyard next to him.

The man who was originally sleeping in the room suddenly opened his eyes, turned over and got out of bed, dragged his shoes, opened the door and walked out, "Who are you?"

Gu Hua stood in the yard, staring expressionlessly at the man whose face she couldn't see clearly in the darkness. It wasn't that she didn't want to hide, but the whole yard was bright, and except for hiding underground, she really couldn't find a place to hide.

"..."At this moment, Gu Hua's mother tongue was speechless.

Just when Gu Hua and the man were staring at each other affectionately in the dark, Shah Rukh's men holding torches walked into the alley where she had just hidden.

"I just heard some noise over here, how come we can't find anyone in the blink of an eye? Could this thief be able to fly?" The big man with bloodthirsty eyes kicked the younger brother who was talking away and said, "Stop talking nonsense, search every house."

"That bastard stole the goods that we robbed today without spending a penny. I don't want to be tortured to death by the boss Shah Rukh. I must catch the thief today."

"Dong dong dong" came the knock on the door.

Originally, Gu Hua thought she had seen it wrong. The person looking at her was not a person, but a piece of wood.

However, when someone knocked on the gate, the man immediately pulled her into the house and said in a low voice: "Don't go out if you don't want to be caught."

Then the man turned and strode out of the dim room.

Gu Hua was confused...she had met a good person.

"Creak," a sound.

The dilapidated gate was opened. Before Shahrukh's men could speak, Gu Hua, who was hiding in the house, heard a thunderous shout of "Get out!"

"Qi...Qi Yan, don't be so arrogant. Don't think we are afraid of you just because you are good at fighting."

Zhu Long, with a fierce face and bloodthirsty eyes, roared with bluffing. If he hadn't seen the tall man in front of him subconsciously take a half step back, the younger brother following him would have really believed what he said.

“Don’t make me say it a second time.” The man’s voice became deeper and more dangerous.

"Our boss Shah Rukh's goods are lost. We must search today..."

"Bang!" The dull sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

The man retracted his foot, frowned, then put the shoe that had fallen to the ground after kicking someone back on his foot, turned around and closed the door in one go.

"Ouch, ouch, are you pigs? Come and help me." Zhu Long, who was kicked to the ground and held his stomach in pain, stared with bloodshot eyes at the yard where the man named Qi Yan lived.

"Just wait, one day I will kill you and chop your body into pieces to make up for today's humiliation."

Zhu Long was finally reluctantly helped away by his younger brothers.

The man lit a candle in the room. Gu Hua looked at the man in front of him who was different from the average Daxuan man. His facial features were as clear as a sculpture, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a high nose bridge, which made his face look more resolute and handsome.

The man's face was extremely gloomy and tense, making the scar on his forehead look even more hideous, and his whole body exuded a coldness.

"Pity."

Qi Yan looked at the tall woman with delicate and dignified features and fair and delicate skin standing next to the wooden table in her home, dressed in men's clothing. Her eyes flashed with confusion and she asked, "What's a pity?"

Gu Hua smiled mischievously, "It's a pity that I'm pregnant now, otherwise I would have given myself to you in return for saving my life."

"Cough cough cough..."

The man coughed violently, and his not-so-pale face turned red. "You...you..."

Gu Hua saw a tall man with strong arms and muscular chest muscles bulging under his underwear. He looked very powerful.

But I didn't expect that I would blush because of a casual and sarcastic remark I made.

"Don't get excited, I'm just joking." Gu Hua hurriedly explained.

She had heard before that men who blush when teased should not be easily provoked, otherwise it would bring trouble to oneself.

Although he didn't know whether it was true or not, Gu Hua still looked at the man's house, which looked like it had been ransacked, and changed the subject...
