Chapter 16 The situation has changed Jiang Jincai enters the mountain
Old Qiantou looked at Quan Sihai and Jiang Nan and said: "In this case, Ding Kun will follow the young master to attack the back village. Only Quan Sihai and Jiang Nan will finish in the front and middle village. Can you two prevent the big boss from running away?"
?”
Quan Sihai's eyes lit up, and he confidently said to Old Qiantou: "You burst into the back village, with only a dozen people at most. Leave the rest to me. If you can still let the thief escape, then I will fight for these decades."
Is the fight in vain?? ”
"Xiao Si, please don't be careless. This is the first time that the young master has led a group of people into battle. If you lose someone, you can go back and forth wherever you come from." The butler stabbed Quan Sihai in a cold voice.
"Brother Kun, please don't do this, otherwise I will issue a military order." Quan Sihai felt a little embarrassed.
"Okay, that's it, let's arrange..." Lao Qiantou explained the plan again, and everyone thought it was feasible.
Only Ding Kui shouted in his heart: "Hey, hey, hey, why don't you ask my opinion?"
However, the experts present all agreed that Ding Kui, the puppet coach, could only issue orders as planned.
Early the next morning, Lao Qiantou left the camp with his archers and went out first as a scouting force. The rest of the large force did not get ready until lunch.
The original plan was to rush to the front village of Funiu Mountain before dark, but just halfway through the journey, I ran into an old money man who came out first.
The news that Lao Qiantou brought back was somewhat unexpected. There were many advanced traps set up near the front village of Funiu Mountain, indicating that there was at least one archer in the village whose strength was close to that of Lao Qiantou.
After a brief discussion between the five-level masters leading the team, the team preparing to attack the mountain retreated back to the mountain col.
"I checked the traps. They should all be made by one person, and this person has reached the level of a sunset archer. According to Jiang Jincai, the hunters in the village are at most the level of trainee archers. It seems that everything is fine.
It's as simple as we thought." Old Qiantou said solemnly.
"Jiang Jincai, can your boss find any other helpers?" the housekeeper stared at Jiang Jincai and asked.
"I don't know, I've been here in Funiu Mountain for all the years I've been here, but I haven't heard that the master has any friends on the road, but he does have quite a few enemies."
"Old Qiantou, is it not a problem for an archer of this level to instantly kill a warrior below level four?" Quan Sihai frowned.
"Except for me, you, Ding Kun, and Jiang Nan, it is difficult for anyone else to escape if he is locked in. We can only protect the people around us. But as long as he shows up, I may be able to pester him and ask me to suppress him.
, we cannot provide you with support.”
"It seems that Funiu Mountain is prepared. We can't take action easily until we understand the situation." The housekeeper was still staring at Jiang Jincai at this time.
The housekeeper was the person Jiang Jincai feared most. A few golden needles could seal his fighting spirit. He would also feed him some unknown herbs from time to time, and warned him that if he was disrespectful to Ding Kui, he would die without a burial place.
Jiang Jincai was actually quite unjust in his heart. He could hold onto the lap of the Protector of the Country and not chase him away. If anyone was disrespectful to Ding Kui, he would probably be the first one to jump out. Now his idea is just to make some achievements and go back.
No more rough work as a slave.
After getting the hint from the housekeeper, Jiang Jincai quickly said flatteringly: "My lords, please don't be impatient. Why don't you let me go to the village to inquire about it and try to find a way to spread the word? Even if I have no merit in Funiu Mountain, I still have hard work. As long as I
If you make up a good excuse, the boss won't do anything to me."
"Okay, you can go back and find out what masters have come to the mountain stronghold recently, how many people there are, and whether the defense of each village has changed?" Quan Sihai also didn't want too many casualties among his own people when attacking the mountain stronghold.
No one had any objection to this. The housekeeper and Lao Qiantou taught Jiang Jincai how to make up excuses and how to deliver messages. Quan Sihai and Jiang Nan led people to make simple tools for attacking the mountain.
In the early morning of the next day, Jiang Jincai, dressed in rags and disheveled, quietly slipped out of the camp and headed to the cottage alone.
Funiu Mountain has lush vegetation, steep mountains, and tall woods. Even the cliffs are covered with unknown herbs. It is said that there are very ferocious monsters deep in the mountains.
Funiuzhai is located on the outskirts of the mountain range and has controlled the nearby area for nearly twenty years. Birds and animals are almost extinct. The most abundant living creatures are fresh fish in the mountain streams, except for various insects all over the mountains and fields.
Before arriving at the village, Jiang Jincai was discovered by the minions patrolling the mountain. The second master of Funiu Mountain was not a wasted man, so the minions escorted Jiang Jincai back to the former village.
Arriving at the front gate of Qianzhai, the third and fourth masters were already waiting there.
"Second brother, I haven't seen you for half a year. Where have you been? How did you end up like this?" The fourth master didn't know Jiang Jincai's mission this time.
"Second brother, why are you coming back alone? There has been no news about you, and the boss is very unhappy." The third master was secretly glad that he was originally asked to lead the team down the mountain on this mission.
"Hey, forget it. Is there anything to eat? I'm really hungry." Jiang Jincai didn't pretend at all. He was really full of grievances.
"Come on, hurry up and prepare the wine and food. Second brother, please go and clean up first. Brother, I will prepare a banquet for you." The third master arranged for people to prepare the wine and food while leading Jiang Jincai into the village.
After finishing cleaning, Jiang Jincai changed into clean clothes and came to the hall of the front village. The third and fourth masters had prepared a table of wine and food waiting for him.
"Fourth, why are you here in the front camp today? Or maybe you knew I was coming back today and came here specifically to greet me." Jiang Jincai walked over to the main seat and sat down without any politeness. He looked at the fourth master who was accompanying him at the bottom and asked strangely.
"This matter, hey, it's been almost a month since I came to Qianzhai." The fourth master toasted Jiang Jincai with a glass of wine and continued, "It's not those two evil stars."
"Oh? Those two evil stars?" Jiang Jincai's heart moved and his ears perked up.
"Second brother, you don't know. Two evil stars came a month ago and told the boss that our village was in danger of being destroyed and asked us to be more vigilant. A few old brothers didn't take it seriously and contradicted them. They all let
They killed each other." The third master explained to Jiang Jincai at the side.
"What, they dare to kill people in our village, and the boss doesn't care?" Jiang Jincai slapped the table, looking a little indignant.
Seeing Jiang Jincai like this, the third boss quickly whispered in his ear: "Shh, keep it down, those two are masters, I think they are not far behind the first boss. And the boss also believed in their words, so he
The four factions came to the front stronghold to strengthen the defense of the front stronghold."
"Oh, where are these two evil stars now?" Jiang Jincai continued to ask.
"Those two evil stars usually don't interact with the brothers. They hide in the back village and don't come out. The boss also goes over to talk to them secretly from time to time." The fourth master looked around and lowered his voice to Jiang Jincai.
"By the way, second brother, I heard from the boss that this time you hit the iron plate, and you might even be in it." The third boss changed the subject and asked about Jiang Jincai.
"Hey, that's right. I had the idea prepared a long time ago. I saw the opportunity early and was able to escape. The others couldn't catch it." After saying this, Jiang Jincai drank a glass of wine.
"Second brother, what are you..." The fourth master was a little confused about the situation.
"Fourth Brother, I won't be able to explain this to you for a while. Anyway, I made a big mistake this time."
"Yes, fourth brother, please don't ask so many questions. The crisis in our village this time is related to this matter. The boss is not in a good mood. Whoever mentions it will be unlucky." The third boss looked sad, somewhat like a rabbit dying of a fox.
feeling.
While the three brothers were chatting, a little boss of the cottage ran into the hall. This little boss was someone close to the big boss.
"Several heads, the eldest master wants to meet with the second master, and specially ordered the younger one to come over and send a message."
Jiang Jincai, the third and fourth masters looked at each other, then stood up, clasped their fists and said: "I will go over and explain to the boss. If the cottage is implicated this time, brother, I have nothing to say, just those people under me."
Brothers, please entrust your two good brothers to take care of you."
"Second brother, don't say such unreasonable things. If the boss really takes the blame, the fourth brother (third brother) and I will definitely put in a good word for you. We are all brothers. If anything happens, we will fight together." The two heads of the household also stood up.
He cupped his fists and saluted, and generously issued a bad check. As for what he was thinking in his heart, it is unknown.
The sun had set on the back of the mountain early in the morning. The Funiu Mountain Zhongzhai was a large valley surrounded by mountains. The largest cave was built into a conference hall. Jiang Jincai was taken directly to the conference hall, where the headmaster and the military advisor were waiting.
he.
Torches were lit all around the meeting hall, and the hall was very quiet. Only the crackling sound of burning resin could be heard from time to time. The dancing flames danced without wind, shining on the face of the uncertain head, making people even more unpredictable.
What is he thinking.
"Tell me, second brother, where have you been for such a long time, and why are you the only one back?" the boss asked seemingly calmly.
"Master, I think there is something wrong with this matter!
The news we received at the beginning was that there were no warriors around to protect Diedi, but things were completely different. After we arrived at our destination, they were already prepared, just like they had packed their bags and waited for us to come to their door.
As soon as we found the courtyard where we wanted to live, the Zhao brothers fell into a trap and were shot by a wind-listening archer. I had no time to react. Then four or five charging warriors jumped out and stared at Gao Lai in the lord's mansion.
Xi Ye gave the signal and when I saw something was wrong, I immediately asked the remaining brothers to retreat separately.
In order to avoid others seeing where we were coming from, I kept running away in the southeast direction. Sure enough, the Wind-Listening Archer led a few people and tracked me down in the direction I ran. After running for a month, I couldn't get rid of them, and finally ran away.
When I arrived at the Pingzhang River, I threw all my weapons and equipment into a mess, then dived into the water and swam for several miles before I got rid of them.
At that time, I ran along the Pingzhang River to Yangyuan Prefecture, and hid near a village for a few days. I made sure that no one was catching up with me, and then I dared to go back. The customs clearance documents I brought with me were muddy in the water, and I couldn't walk on the main road.
, just ran back in hiding all the way." Jiang Jincai followed the old Qiantou's instructions and made a fuss about it himself.
