This was probably God’s will. Yuan Shanchuan reached out his hand and took the painting away under the night when both parties were not paying attention.
Then, he slowly retreated, step by step, away from the forest and ran in another direction.
By the time he returned to his senses, he had already escaped far away.
In such a situation, Yuan Shanchuan had no choice but to interfere.
He was cautious because he had a bodyguard friend who had heard much about their escort journey. Recalling those details, he muddle-headedly hid some traces.
He knew that this was gambling on his life. He might end up like the two bodyguards if he was not careful.
But since things had come to this extent, he had no choice.
He didn’t know if he was lucky or if the two parties who fought that night had suffered heavy losses and couldn’t find him anymore. In short, Yuan Shanchuan had been hiding for a few days and hadn’t revealed his whereabouts.
He didn’t dare to go home either, afraid he would bring trouble to his family.
Therefore, he had to return to the city as soon as possible and find the county magistrate to hand this painting to the Lord.
After taking a long detour and hiding in the forest, Yuan Shanchuan finally arrived at the city gate of Jiangyuan County after spending all the money he earned.
Seeing that victory was in sight, Yuan Shanchuan almost cried tears of joy.
However, his good luck ended here.
Before entering the city, he saw the robbers guarding the gate.
Yuan Shanchuan was so frightened that he dared not enter the city and could only run out.
He looked very suspicious among the crowd entering the city.
Those people immediately sensed that something was wrong. They looked in his direction and walked over cautiously.
Yuan Shanchuan was panicking. He lowered his head and wanted to escape as soon as possible.
“Then I saw a group of carriages. They didn’t look like they were to be trifled
with. I didn’t know what was going on In the convoy. A few people were gathered there talking, and the last carriage transporting junk was temporarily left unguarded. My brain went blank then, and I hid in the carriage.
Shu Yu was stunned when she heard this. She asked uncertainly, “This convoy is the black market’s convoy?”
“Yes.” Yuan Shanchuan nodded.” There was a big box in the carriage. I didn’t dare to move after I hid inside. I didn’t expect that the robbers wouldn’t come forward to search me as soon as I hid the carriage. I thought that this convoy was going into the city and wanted to find an opportunity to come out after entering.”
Who knew that the convoy did not enter the city gate at all? Instead, they drove towards the suburbs and finally stopped in this manor.
Da Niu asked curiously, “Are you saying the carriage entered this manor directly? But our carriage can’t enter the bamboo forest outside.”
Yuan Shanchuan said, “I don’t know about that. The carriage I hid was indeed parked in this courtyard.”
Shu Yu touched her chin. “It seems that there is another entrance to the black market.’
She looked at Yuan Shanchuan. “What happened after that? Have you been in the black market all the time?”
“l originally wanted to take the painting and quietly leave when they weren’t paying attention. Who knew this courtyard was so strange that I couldn’t leave.’
Shu Yu took a sip of tea. “Of course, you can’t walk out. When we came in, there was a special waiter to lead the way. It was obvious that there were traps or arrays in the courtyard. Ordinary people would get lost if they were not careful..
