The carefree sixth prince, my father respectfully invites me to ascend the throne.

Without hesitation, Yang An stepped into the granary and began searching for the seeds he wanted.

At the same time, a series of chaotic footsteps suddenly came from afar. Upon hearing this, Yang An's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly turned around to look.

"Oh no, I guessed it! Someone broke into the granary." Yang An said in surprise.

"What should we do?"

Yang Hu and Yang Wei looked troubled and turned their gazes to Da Tou.

Big Head stood there expressionless, as if nothing had happened.

"Brothers, charge!" With a low shout, several armored soldiers appeared from the front, their weapons slashing down at Yang An and his two companions.

Yang An and his two companions were startled and hurriedly dodged the attack, but then a barrage of attacks came crashing down on them.

"Quickly hide! Don't let them see the three of us!" Yang An shouted.

After saying this, he parted ways with Yang Hu and Yang Wei and hid in a corner to avoid being discovered by the soldiers.

A moment later, Yang An and the others stared ahead in horror. The soldiers had not noticed the three of them and had instead charged to a pile of grain.

As they approached the haystack, they were all stunned, for they discovered something unusual about the granary.

Meanwhile, outside the granary, the soldier who had been guarding it rushed back.

"Captain Yang, something terrible has happened! All the soldiers in the granary are dead. I suspect someone has broken into the granary."

Upon hearing this, Captain Yang was shocked and shouted, "What did you say? Did you see what the thief looked like?"

"No……"

"How dare you! If that's the case, why didn't you chase after them?" Captain Yang roared in anger, kicking a soldier in the chest.

Pfft!

The soldier was sent flying backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his face extremely pale.

Just then, two figures suddenly appeared not far away; they were Yang Datou and Yang An.

Upon seeing them, Captain Yang's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly ran over.

"Lord Yang, what brings you here? Are you aware of what happened earlier?"

"I heard about it, but why haven't you made a sound? Did they kill you?"

"No, no, we didn't even get a chance to go on stage before these two stole the credit," Captain Yang hurriedly explained.

"Is that so!" Yang Datou looked at Yang An with a half-smile.

"Yang An, they say you killed the soldiers in the granary. Now all the soldiers in the granary have been killed by you. Surrender now, or I will definitely behead you and display your head to the public!" Captain Yang stared fiercely at Yang An, his eyes flashing with murderous intent.

"Hehe... I never thought I, Yang An, would survive such a calamity!" Yang An shook his head with a wry smile.

"Yang An, did you really kill those soldiers?" Yang Datou asked coldly.

"Yes!" Yang An nodded emphatically, his expression becoming exceptionally resolute.

"Very well, since you dare to admit it, then you are doomed today. I will report to the Crown Prince and have you cut into a thousand pieces!" Yang Datou said through gritted teeth.

Yang An shrugged and smiled faintly: "You can say whatever you want, but what I want to say now is that I, Yang An, am innocent!"

"Be bold!"

"You still dare to say you're innocent? I think you won't shed tears until you see the coffin. Now that the evidence is conclusive, do you still want to deny it?" Yang Datou grinned maliciously at Yang An.

"Hahaha, I'm denying it. What evidence do you have? Is it witness testimony, physical evidence, or witnesses?" Yang An laughed loudly.

"Hmph, stop trying to argue. You dared to kill the soldiers in my granary, that's a capital offense, and there's no way to wash away your sins," Yang Datou said arrogantly.

"I ask you, whose granary is this? Yours, His Majesty, or the Crown Prince?" Yang An questioned coldly.

Yang Datou's face stiffened, and he fell silent.

Yang An smiled with amusement and said, "It seems that even you can't prove who the granary belongs to. In that case, I have the right to question why the soldiers in the granary can act on behalf of His Majesty and the Crown Prince?"

"You, you..." Yang Datou was speechless for a moment.

“You say these soldiers are His Majesty’s soldiers, but their uniforms only have the word ‘soldier’ written on them, and you can’t tell where they come from at all. You say they are the Crown Prince’s soldiers, but they are not wearing any insignia of the Crown Prince’s residence. You say they are soldiers of the East City Barracks, but they are not wearing any insignia of the barracks either,” Yang An said calmly.

Yang Datou was speechless for a moment, unable to refute at all, because he simply couldn't find out who these people belonged to.

"So, what right do you have to accuse me of killing the soldiers in the granary? If you continue to distort the truth like this, I can sue you for slander. Then we'll see who comes out on top," Yang An said coldly.

"But you..."

"There are no 'buts'. Produce the evidence, or you're slandering my innocence," Yang An said solemnly.

"We have no evidence; we saw you kill the soldiers with our own eyes."

“What you see isn’t necessarily the truth. If I told you that I just had a fierce fight with the soldiers and that I killed them, but in fact I didn’t kill them, I just fought with them, would you believe me?”

"You're talking nonsense! You're just making excuses. You must have used some kind of sorcery to trick them."

"Alright, stop making excuses. I think you won't shed a tear until you see the coffin!" Yang An sneered.

As he spoke, Yang An flashed and appeared directly next to Yang Datou, then grabbed the man by the throat.

"No...don't kill me, I surrender, I surrender to you," Yang Datou begged for mercy.

Yang An released his neck and said indifferently, "I'm not in the mood to joke with a brat like you. Don't run into each other again, or I won't hesitate to make you blind."

After saying that, he threw Yang Datou down.

After Yang An finished speaking, he left the granary.

Looking at the grain before him, Yang An couldn't help but sigh. This was all grain; if only it were silver.

Unfortunately, this is the Great Liang Kingdom, a place where silver cannot buy grain, and the people here are extremely poor, so they would never sell grain to outsiders.

If we really need to buy grain, we'll probably have to go into the mountains to buy it.

"What a troublesome thing!"

Yang An muttered to himself, then turned and walked out of the granary.

As soon as Yang An came outside, he saw that Yang Hu, Yang Wei, and Da Tou had already left and were now watching from the street.

Upon seeing Yang An emerge, the three of them quickly approached him.

"So, did you get it sorted out?" Yang Hu asked curiously.

"Yes, I've dealt with that kid. For now, no one can cause us any trouble," Yang An nodded in response.
