Chapter 82: Going down the Mountain

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

Qi Cheng’s movements were quick. He had summoned people of the Qiao mountain in an hour, whose competence impressed Ke Ruan a little.

“Brother Qingye, it’s ready.”

Lin Qingye nodded.

Quite a few people were still grumbling.

“What are you doing? Why do we have to go down the mountain with everything going on well?”

“Yeah. Chief never had such an idea. Why is it so sudden?”

“Did these people say something to Chief?”

“We don’t want to go down the mountain.”

“Yes, Chief, we don’t want to go down.”

……

Ke Ruan frowned. So many people were chattering and grumbling, with a firm attitude of not going down. If it was not suppressed, it would definitely be a problem.

He didn’t know whether the people at the foot of the mountain could be reasoned with.

Qi Cheng gestured and everyone shut up obediently. Qi Cheng looked at them and said earnestly, “You people who were speaking here have no family or friends, so you want to be here. What about the others?”

“I know that everyone came to the Qiao mountain involuntarily. Some bygones can be bygones. But what about the people and things that we cannot let go? What should we do?”

“You’ve been here for so long. Haven’t you thought about going back for a visit?”

The mass remained silent.

Qi Cheng continued, “We were all cornered here. Now that we have a chance, why don’t we go down the mountain and reunite with our family and friends?”

“But…” There came the sound from the crowd.

Qi Cheng glanced at the speaker. “If you have any questions, go ahead, ask me. I can explain clearly.”

The man was no longer hesitant and said, “Chief, the bastard official of Yu Liang County bullied us. If we go back, we will definitely not end up well.”

“Yeah, yeah!”

……

“Guys, don’t worry. With me around, I will not let that bastard official have his way. This time, if…” Qi Cheng looked at Ke Ruan with a threatening gaze and said, “If they can’t deal with the bastard official, I will kill him in person and spare all future troubles.”

When he mentioned Li Kan, everyone flew into a rage.

They couldn’t detect the menace hidden in Chief’s words, nor could they hear the “they”mentioned by Chief. What they knew was that Chief said that the bastard official would definitely die.

Chief would definitely kill him.

“Chief is mighty!”

“Long live Chief!”

……

Ke Ruan swallowed his saliva and met Qi Cheng’s threatening gaze. He laughed dryly. He would do it even risking his life, otherwise he dared not even imagine how miserable he would wind up.

“Then, do you have any objections now?” Qi Cheng glanced through the crowd.

“No, we’ll follow Chief.”

“That’s right. We believe in Chief.”

“We trust Chief.”

……

Ke Ruan, “…”

He had the urge to roll his eyes. If they trusted Chief, how come they grumbled so much at the beginning?

“In that case, let’s go down the mountain,” Lin Qingye looked at Ke Ruan and said, “For the sake of safety, Childe should stay by my side.”

Ke Ruan nodded with a gentle smile on his face. Lin Qingye pursed his lips. For some reason, his lips suddenly became a little hot and he shunned the eyes of Ke Ruan.

“General Lin, don’t worry. I won’t run around this time, I give you my word,” he said as he held Si Yuhan up. “You, you can’t run around this time. Did you hear me?”
