Cheng Yaojin and five hundred soldiers also slowly gathered here.
This is still at the foot of the mountain, but it has already entered Lishan Mountain, so it is quite secretive.
Here, Fang Yuan and others heard the screams on the mountain more clearly.
Occasionally, you can see human figures in the cave, waiting for opportunities halfway up the mountain, looking for treasures.
"What do we do next?"
Cheng Yaojin said in a deep voice.
Li Shimin had already told him when he came, asking him to listen to Fang Yuan more.
"For the time being, our mission is to prevent the jade seal from being taken away."
"Send out scouts and pay attention to the situation around us. Kill anyone who comes close!"
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
At present, we need to send someone to keep an eye on the situation in the treasure secretly.
Therefore, some people are needed to sneak into the chaos and be with the rangers who are interested in the treasure.
However, there is no need for Fang Yuan and others to worry. Li Shimin has already arranged for bad people to mix in. If there is any news, he will send a message to Fang Yuan and others.
So what Fang Yuan and the others have to do now is to hide their traces in Lishan Mountain and wait for news of the bad guys. Finally, they can find the enemies who ambushed the imperial court and kill them all.
"Okay."
Cheng Yaojin nodded heavily.
Order the scouts to do the work.
But as soon as the order was given, the sound of arrows raining down was heard.
"咻咻咻"
Bows and arrows shot down from the mountain towards Fang Yuan and others.
Some bows and arrows hit the trees and inserted into the trees, reducing the danger for Fang Yuan and others.
"Secret!"
"Find a big tree to block it!"
Fang Yuan immediately ordered.
Du Chuke had an accident before.
Now that we have bows and arrows again, there won’t be two accidents in the same place.
After the order was issued, Cheng Yaojin reiterated that the soldiers did not panic and used the big trees to block the bows and arrows, without any casualties.
"His grandma, who came up with the method of shooting arrows in the mountains?"
Cheng Yaojin looked towards the mountain and snorted coldly.
Shooting arrows in the mountains is a waste of arrows and will have no effect.
Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyan looked at each other and smiled awkwardly, remembering the reason why Du Chuke returned home in vain.
"Kill!"
Suddenly.
Bows and arrows stopped shooting.
Then a group of people ran down the mountain.
They dress normally, just like ordinary people.
But each of them is holding a sword, and you can tell at a glance that it is not simple.
There were probably hundreds of people, and it was difficult to see clearly because of the many obstructions.
"General Cheng, I leave it to you."
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
When it comes to marching and fighting, setting up formations to kill people, Cheng Yaojin must be the better one.
"One team stays behind to provide support at any time!"
"The rest, follow me and kill his mother!"
Cheng Yaojin immediately ordered.
His army of 500 was divided into five groups, each with 100 men.
They have all been selected and trained, and their coordination with each other is relatively good.
After Cheng Yaojin issued the military order, the four armies rushed out in an orderly manner, roaring to the sky.
"Kill!"
The two sides started a war.
Halfway up the mountain, life or death is immediately uncertain.
"Xue Rengui, you come too!"
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
Xue Rengui has the style of a fierce general.
His bravery can play a great guiding role.
On the battlefield, morale is very important. One person can influence those around him.
The people around you will then affect the people around you, which can easily affect the entire battlefield, and the final victory rate will be greatly improved.
"Yes!"
Xue Rengui shouted yes.
He picked up the Qinglong Yanyue Sword that Fang Yuan had made for Xue Bowu before and rushed forward.
The Qinglong Yanyue Sword was waved in Xue Rengui's hand, like splitting the air. An enemy was cut in half by him, which was rough and terrifying.
"My husband is really wise and discerning. There is Xue Bowu in front of me and Xue Rengui in the back."
"Such a person, if given a little push, will become a powerful general at least."
Du Miaoyan looked at Xue Rengui's bravery and sighed.
She thinks that Xue Rengui will not be her opponent, but she also feels that she cannot be as tough as Xue Rengui.
With a wave of the weapon in his hand, the opponent's body will either be split into pieces, or his head will roll, making people tremble.
"Let's cultivate feelings and loyalty for a few years first."
Fang Yuan nodded with deep understanding.
Xue Rengui and Xue Bowu are both born with supernatural powers.
If such a person is simple-minded, it will be difficult for him to rise on his own.
But with Fang Yuan as the Minister of Household Affairs helping behind the scenes, the future has unlimited prospects.
However, helping others is definitely not something you do casually. You have to help your own people in order to get good results.
The time I spent with Xue Rengui was too short, there was no affection, and there was not much loyalty at all.
"Sure enough, there is still an ambush!"
"First team, attack from both wings!"
Cheng Yaojin fought bravely on the battlefield.
He didn't notice Xue Rengui appearing behind him.
His main energy is to observe the battlefield to determine the opponent's strategy.
Sure enough, after a quarter of an hour of fighting, the other party dispatched a team of about a hundred people to join the battlefield.
The number of people between the two sides was about the same, so Cheng Yaojin immediately mobilized the first detachment he had left for support to attack from the left and right.
Attack from three directions, and the opponent will be attacked on three sides, leaving only a retreat up the mountain. However, the retreat up the mountain is easy to come down, but difficult to go up.
Strategically, Cheng Yaojin has gained a great advantage. As expected, this victory belongs to Fang Yuan's side.
However, the accident still happened.
"咻咻咻"
Another wave of arrows rained down.
Some of the arrows hit the trees, and some of them came towards Cheng Yaojin and others.
Compared with the first wave of bows and arrows, the number of bows and arrows this time is less than half.
"Gan, it's secret!" Cheng Yaojin was shocked. He quickly found a tree to hide and complained: "His grandma, he even killed his own people?"
Xue Rengui and others were shocked and looked for places to hide.
The enemy didn't seem to expect that one of his own would fire arrows, and he hid in shock.
For a time, there were some casualties on both sides because they did not expect to shoot arrows again.
But it is obvious that the enemy side suffered a greater blow, because they did not expect that their own people would shoot secret arrows.
However, a dramatic scene occurred. Among the same group of people hiding under a tree, there were soldiers and enemies.
The soldiers were not stabbed in the back, so they were the first to react. They killed a few easily before they reacted.
The killing started again, and everyone relied on the big tree to fight, ready to hide in the tree at any time.
"Miaoyan, you go up and see how many people are shooting arrows."
"If we can solve them, we will solve them. If we can't solve them, we will come back and move our positions."
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
After this wave of arrows, victory has completely belonged to Fang Yuan's side.
The only trouble is that we don’t know when the archers above will release arrows again, which is very disadvantageous for Fang Yuan and others’ hiding.
"How about your safety?"
Du Miaoyan also has ideas, but she is more worried about Fang Yuan's safety.
"I'm not being targeted, so there won't be any safety issues."
Fang Yuan shook his head and said.
He is not being targeted, and there will be no security issues here.
"Yes!"
"I'll go and come back quickly!"
Du Miaoyan nodded solemnly and left.
Fang Yuan looked at the battlefield again and saw that the wind direction of the battlefield changed greatly.
Under the leadership of Cheng Yaojin and Xue Rengui, the morale on our side is booming.
The enemy's morale is very low either because he is invincible, or because someone shoots an arrow in the back.
"Those who want to keep the whole body surrender quickly!"
Cheng Yaojin laughed loudly.
The two axes in his hands danced lifelike.
Under his fighting, no enemy can withstand his one round.
While feeling extremely proud, he noticed Xue Rengui's bravery and discovered that the enemy was unable to evade even one move under Xue Rengui's attack.
Yes, one move, not one round!
After noticing this problem, Cheng Yaojin was greatly surprised.
Where did this young warrior come from, so brave and terrifying?!
The killing still started, but it ended quickly, and the enemy surrendered almost at the end.
"Strange, why don't they shoot arrows anymore?!"
Cheng Yaojin looked towards the mountain curiously.
At this moment, more than fifty enemies were captured and surrounded.
If arrows are fired from above at this time, many of these people will definitely die, and some of them will die as well.
But they did not fire arrows, which surprised Cheng Yaojin and worried that there would be another accident.
However, at this moment, Du Miaoyan slowly walked down from above, her clothes stained with blood.
"Miaoyan, are you okay?"
Fang Yuan quickly walked up to him and asked worriedly.
At this moment, Du Miaoyan was holding a bloody sword in her hand, with a stern look on her face.
It's like an indifferent and peerless god of death that makes people afraid to look directly at him.
"It's okay, all thirty-five archers have been ambushed!"
Du Miaoyan smiled slightly, shook her head and said.
She put away her sword and became much gentler.
"Du Nuwa, you killed the archer?!"
Cheng Yaojin was greatly surprised.
It's not that he doesn't believe in Du Miaoyan's strength, but he is shocked by it.
Everyone said that Du Miaoyan was very powerful, but I had only heard about it and had never seen him take action.
Looking at it now, it is really terrifying. One person killed thirty-six people, and they were all archers.
No wonder His Majesty asked Du Miaoyan to come too. It would be a big help to have such great strength.
"Uncle Cheng, what should we do with these people?"
Du Miaoyan smiled and nodded, pointing at the fifty-odd prisoners.
More than fifty people are not a small number, and they cannot be carried around all the time.
"How about killing me?!"
Cheng Yaojin frowned and said uncertainly.
He looked at Fang Yuan and decided that Fang Yuan would make the decision.
As soon as the words fell, the fifty prisoners looked horrified and begged for mercy.
"Who ordered you to assassinate us?"
Fang Yuan did not answer, but walked to the prisoners and asked.
"Yes, it's the ink of Bishamon and Denling."
A prisoner answered with a look of panic.
"Who told you whereabouts?"
"Why assassinate us?"
Fang Yuan nodded secretly and continued to ask.
Sure enough, it is the ink of Bishamon and Denling.
This was no surprise, but how did they know the whereabouts of themselves and others so quickly?
"Yes, someone told us."
"As for why, we have no idea."
The prisoner said tremblingly.
More than fifty people, no one can tell the reason.
"Are any of you still here?"
Fang Yuan thought for a while and continued to ask.
"No, I don't know."
The prisoner shook his head and said blankly.
"Let someone escort him back to Chang'an City."
Fang Yuan finally made a conclusion.
There is no need to kill them.
But I definitely won’t take them with me, so it’s best to send them back to Chang’an City.
Send it back to Chang'an City to Li Shimin, or he can torture out some other information.
"That's what I want."
Cheng Yaojin has no objection.
Select ten people from the team and escort them back as an escort.
After the prisoners were sent away, Fang Yuan and others rested in place, bandaged their wounds, etc.
The killing here has attracted the attention of many people, but there is no need to leave the scene specifically.
Because the killing just now shocked many people, and more importantly, Fang Yuan has a large number of people, so there is no need to worry about sneak attacks during the day.
"Shilang Fang, where did your guard come from?"
"I think he has the demeanor of a fierce general and has a bright future."
At this time, Cheng Yaojin noticed Xue Rengui again.
After the fierce battle just now, he felt a little tired.
But Xue Rengui, a young man, didn't look red or breathless, as if he were an appetizer.
With such a strong body, coupled with the bravery of killing people just now, it will definitely be easy to rise after entering the battlefield.
"I also think he has the spirit of a fierce general!"
Fang Yuan chuckled.
This smile made Xue Rengui, who was originally proud, become a little worried.
Xue Rengui is quite self-aware and knows that there is no war in the court now, and the so-called fierce general style is just a lie.
If he had not joined the army during the war, entering the military camp would have been boring training every day, and he might not have been able to eat enough.
The more important point is, what's the benefit of fighting and killing people? Splattering blood and flesh is already disgusting, and you have to worry about being hurt. It's good to stay in Fang Mansion.
Normally, I can eat almost without having to do anything. That is to say, I occasionally have to protect Fang Yuan and do some work. The rest of the time, I am quite free. Therefore, being a guard in Fang Mansion is far more comfortable than being a fierce general.
"Why don't you give it to me and I'll train you?"
Cheng Yaojin chuckled.
Fang Yuan was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Cheng Yaojin to ask for someone directly.
Normally, it is quite impolite to take someone away from someone else's hands.
Just as he was trying to find a reason to refuse, Xue Rengui waved his hands aside.
"Thank you, General Cheng, for loving your talents."
"It's good for me in Fang Mansion, and it's good for me to follow the master and his wife."
Xue Rengui said repeatedly.
He also knew that the man in front of him was the famous Cheng Yaojin.
But you and the other party are not close friends, and even if the other party wants to cultivate you, you may not be able to cultivate him wholeheartedly.
And when you know that you can eat ten people's food by yourself, you may regret it, and you may try to drive yourself away.
People like Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyan who don't mind how much they eat and pay themselves back must be very rare to encounter. Xue Rengui doesn't want to lose the watermelon and pick up the sesame seeds.
"That's a pity."
Cheng Yaojin sighed.
If Fang Yuan refuses, how many more times can he continue to be shameless?
But the people involved said no, and they didn’t look modest, so that’s all.
"Hahaha, it is indeed a pity."
Fang Yuan laughed.
At the same time, I was quite surprised that Xue Rengui refused.
As for the reason, Fang Yuan doesn’t want to think about it deeply.
After everyone rested for a while, they lurked again, waiting for news about the bad guys.
Time passes slowly, night comes soon, and the real dangerous moment of Lishan arrives.
At this time, a bad person appeared and brought news to Fang Yuan and others.
