Chai Yan, Hang Baiqiu and Cheng Jiu were in the village buying food needed to go into the mountains, while Guan Maochun and Yu Tie stayed at the inn and watched Hong Biao.
Cheng Jiudao: "Sir, the scones you bought last time are good. How about we buy some more."
"Okay, let's go a little further and we'll reach the bakery." Chai Yan had no objection.
Hang Baiqiu said, "No, the scones are too dry. You have to drink a lot of water after eating them. It's too inconvenient!"
The inconvenience Hang Baiqiu mentioned was that she had to find a place to pee after drinking too much water. As a woman, she was naturally better off than a man.
Cheng Jiu understood what Hang Baiqiu meant, but he still felt that the scones were to his liking, so he asked, "Sir Hang, what do you mean by eating dry food without drinking water?"
Hang Baiqiu has always been difficult to deal with Cheng Jiu, and he was unhappy when he heard this: "When did I say that you don't need to drink water to eat dry food? What I mean is that you can't drink too much water, otherwise...otherwise
inconvenient!"
Cheng Jiuqing said calmly: "Anyway, I don't find it inconvenient."
"you......"
"Forget it, forget it..."
Just when Hang Baiqiu wanted to fight back, Chai Yan, the peacemaker, intervened.
"Isn't it just a few scones? If you like to eat, bring some. If you don't like to eat, don't bring it. How can such a simple question lead to a quarrel?" Chai Yan said.
After saying that, Chai Yan gave Cheng Jiu a wink, meaning that you are a big man, don't worry about women all the time and look stingy!
Cheng Jiu understood what Chai Yan meant, so he nodded and said nothing.
Then, Chai Yan took out some money and gave it to Cheng Jiu, saying, "Go buy some scones and come back...you can see the shop if you go straight ahead."
Cheng Jiu nodded, took the silver and left.
When Cheng Jiu walked away, Chai Yancai said: "Sir Hang, what do you want to eat? Just tell me and I will buy it for you right away!"
"No!" Hang Baiqiu was a little tempered.
"Really?" Chai Yan asked in a slightly exaggerated voice, raising his voice.
Hang Baiqiu frowned and said, "I said no, then I won't. How could you..."
As soon as I said this, I heard a "whoosh" sound coming from the sky in the distance, and the sound was very sharp!
Chai Yan turned around when he heard the sound and asked in confusion: "What is this sound?"
Hang Baiqiu looked at the sky where the sound came from and said seriously: "It's a sounding arrow!"
"Sounding arrows?" Chai Yan was very surprised: "Who fired the sounding arrows?"
Hang Baiqiu shook his head: "I don't know, but something must have happened!"
When Chai Yan heard what Hang Baiqiu said, he immediately said: "Let's go and have a look!"
"Yeah!" Hang Baiqiu also had this intention.
So, the two of them accelerated towards the direction of the sounding arrow.
Cheng Jiu, who heard the sound of arrows, also ran over from a distance, waving and shouting: "Sir, wait for me!"
"Follow me!" Chai Yan turned around and shouted, then continued running forward.
Soon, the three of them left Tianjia Village. Soon, they saw many armed soldiers from the South Camp gathering at the foot of Lintai Mountain.
Running closer, Chai Yan saw Feng Bin's figure, and he immediately shouted: "Feng Bin!"
Feng Bin turned around and saw Chai Yan, and immediately ran towards the three of them and said, "Master Chai, why are you here?"
Chai Yan asked: "What happened?"
Feng Bin immediately said: "Master Chai, Lu Tang suddenly led people to attack. It seems that he wants to break out and escape!"
"Where is Captain Liu?" Chai Yan asked again.
Feng Bin said anxiously: "Liu Xiaowei has already brought people over! Sir, I have to go over..."
After saying that, Feng Bin said no more, grabbed the spear and ran forward with the crowd.
Hang Baiqiu immediately said: "Chai Yan, let's go over and help, we can't let the bandits escape!"
Cheng Jiu also geared up and said, "Yes, sir, let's go too!"
Chai Yan immediately responded: "Okay!"
The next moment, Chai Yan, Hang Baiqiu and Cheng Jiu ran towards the battlefield ahead at full speed...
The place where Lu Zhang broke out was located at the foot of the mountain northeast of the Nanying garrison. By the time Chai Yan and the others arrived, the Nanying soldiers led by Liu Hongxuan had already started fighting with a small group of rogue bandits.
At the front of the battlefield, Liu Hongxuan was holding a sword and was fighting the enemy bravely. All the bandits who fought against him could not survive more than three rounds under his sword, which meant he was a bit invincible.
Hang Baiqiu saw that there were rogues on the other side of the hillside, but Liu Hongxuan didn't seem to notice them, so she immediately chose to leave the team and ran towards that side.
"Where are you going?"
From the time Chai Yan noticed Hang Baiqiu leaving and called her, Hang Baiqiu had already ran away more than ten feet.
At the same time, Chai Yan also discovered the rogue bandit on the other side, and immediately said: "Cheng Jiu, follow me!"
Before he finished speaking, Chai Yan and Cheng Jiu also ran out.
Hang Baiqiu's fighting power was astonishing. As soon as she rushed up the hillside, she stopped the bandits from breaking out. The dagger with a cold light flew up and down in her hand. Compared with Liu Hongxuan's ability to kill enemies, it was even better!
A moment later, Chai Yan and Cheng Jiu, who rushed up, also appeared beside Hang Baiqiu and joined the battle.
Liu Hongxuan on the other side quickly discovered Chai Yan and the others, and immediately assigned a team to assist the three.
But as soon as the new forces joined in, a rough voice came from the top of the hillside: "Retreat, retreat immediately!"
Liu Hongxuan looked up when he heard the sound. He pointed his sword at the man and shouted an order: "Brothers, catch Lu Dan!"
Chai Yan also heard Liu Hongxuan's voice. He quickly punched the bandit who was fighting him to the ground and looked up the hillside.
"That person is Lu Dan?" Chai Yan only saw a tall and burly figure, but because the distance was too far, he couldn't see his face clearly.
Hang Baiqiu glanced up, and then rushed towards the hillside, but at this time Lu Dan had already turned around and retreated, and his figure quickly disappeared.
Not long after, Liu Hongxuan led the soldiers in the battalion to the highest point of the hillside.
However, Liu Hongxuan stopped there and had no intention of pursuing further.
Immediately afterwards, Chai Yan and the others came to the top of the hillside and stood beside Liu Hongxuan.
"Master Chai, are you not injured?" Liu Hongxuan immediately turned around and asked in concern.
Chai Yan shook his head and said it was okay.
Seeing that Liu Hongxuan and the soldiers stopped chasing, Hang Baiqiu became a little anxious and asked unwillingly: "Liu Lieutenant, why don't you continue to chase?"
Liu Hongxuan frowned and said: "Sir Hang, we can't pursue them any further. They have set up many traps in the mountains. If we pursue them rashly, we will definitely cause many unnecessary casualties."
Hang Baiqiu was unwilling to give up, and just when he was about to kill, these useless bandits actually ran away!
Cheng Jiu also felt the same way. Why did the battle end before it even started?
Liu Hongxuan wiped the blood on his sword, put it into its sheath, and said to the soldiers beside him: "Clean the battlefield and count the number of people!"
"Obey the order!" The soldier immediately accepted the order and did as he was told.
Liu Hongxuan asked Chai Yan: "Master Chai, why are you here?"
Chai Yan said: "Oh, we were on the street just now, and suddenly we heard the sound of arrows you fired, and then we came over."
Liu Hongxuan shook his head and said: "Master Chai, that noisy arrow was not sent by us, but by the rogue bandits!"
"Rogue bandits?" Chai Yan was very surprised. He thought for a moment with a puzzled expression and asked, "That's strange, Lieutenant Liu. Aren't these bandits trying to break out? They rushed down silently, maybe they caught us by surprise.
?Why do you have to fire an arrow to alert the enemy?"
Hang Baiqiu and Cheng Jiu thought about it carefully and felt that this approach was very wrong...
Lieutenant Liu thought seriously for a while, and then he suddenly felt confused and exclaimed: "No, we have fallen into a trap!"
