The man gave a cold snort without any mercy.

Su Qiao held her breath.

Just as those people were about to leave.

Suddenly, the pheasant started struggling again.

It was like a provocation.

They came to Su Qiao's side.

I just happened to pass by those people.

Those people turned their gazes towards them.

They were all people who lived on the edge, and they immediately spotted Su Qiao and drew their knives.

The three approached Su Qiao.

Su Qiao could run away, but there were only Yao Cuifen and Daya, one big and one small, over there.

Given how suddenly it happened, they might not be able to escape.

The other direction is where these people are.

Su Qiao looked at the drooping vines.

There is also a half-height slope.

Before these people could react, he grabbed the vines with one hand and the basket with the other, and swung over.

He kicked one person away in an instant.

The man crashed into a tree and didn't get up for a long time.

She then slammed her basket down on another person with all her might.

In the end, only one person remained.

Seeing that Su Qiao had dealt with his brother in no time, the man dared not underestimate her.

The blade was pointed directly at Su Qiao.

Su Qiao pulled a wood-chopping knife from behind her waist.

Without saying a word, he rushed forward; this person was clearly skilled in martial arts.

Su Qiao could vaguely see some traces of the boxing techniques that Lu Xiangze had practiced.

Su Qiao knew where her weaknesses lay.

A swift and decisive victory is needed.

Su Qiao, who possessed martial arts techniques, had a slight advantage.

Successfully subdued the man.

Su Qiao dislocated his arms and legs.

The other two followed the same method and then used vines to tie the person up.

On the other side, Lu Xiangze was looking at some documents when he suddenly felt something was wrong with the space.

I was shocked when I looked.

If he wanted to, he could actually see Su Qiao clearly. He was caught off guard and saw three people bound hand and foot beside her.

The leader immediately begged for mercy.

"Lady, please let us go. We didn't mean to point the knife at you."

"What are you doing here? Who are you waiting for? Who are you trying to save?"

The man knew immediately that Su Qiao had probably heard everything.

He was instantly filled with rage, but he was powerless to do anything about it, as Su Qiao had already dislocated his hands and feet.

He immediately started playing the emotional card, saying, "Why don't you release us all? I can give you money, a lot of money."

"Oh? What do you do? How come you have so much money?"

The man thought she was interested and immediately sat up straight.

“What we’re doing is amazing. If you complete these tasks, you’ll even have a house in the city in a few years,” the man said confidently.

It was as if what he described could actually be realized.

As if afraid that Su Qiao wouldn't believe him, he added again: "You look like a military wife, so it's even more convenient for you to do this. You can make a lot of money with just a few messages."

"You can have supplies too. We have a black market here, and they're managed. Just tell me what you want. Bicycles and radios are minor things."

The man became increasingly smug as he spoke, leaning back slightly, seemingly certain that Su Qiao would agree.

"How can I be sure whether what you're saying is true or false?" Su Qiao looked unconvinced.

This infuriated the man.

You can't challenge his authority. He still has some influence in this area.

He immediately listed his subordinates and mentioned one of their strongholds.

Many people know that place, and he assumed Su Qiao knew it too.

Unfortunately, Su Qiao shrugged.

"I'm new here, I've never heard of this place." This immediately infuriated the person.

The man instantly became furious and verbally threatened her without any real force.

"You think you can mess with me? Believe me, if you don't release us soon, you're dead!"

At this point, the man seemed to remember something, and instantly regained his initial expression.

He became smug and self-satisfied.

It seems like they made an appointment.

I just don't know how many there are, or how easy they are to deal with.

Just as Su Qiao was worrying about how to tell others, Lu Xiangze's voice rang out.

"Qiaoqiao, are you alright? Wait for me, I'll be right there."

Su Qiao was immediately overjoyed, but she communicated with Lu Xiangze telepathically within the space.

God knows how anxious Lu Xiangze was when he saw that Su Qiao was in danger.

The moment I saw it, I wanted to fly there.

Lu Xiangze suddenly stood up.

Ding Yuxiao wondered what had happened to him.

Lu Xiangze had no way to explain, so he could only make an excuse that he wanted to pick up Su Qiao and take her home.

The young couple had a good relationship, and he couldn't very well stop them, so he had no choice but to agree.

After leaving the military camp, Lu Xiangze headed straight for the back mountain.

Throughout the journey, they continuously synchronized their location information with Su Qiao.

She paused for a moment when she passed by Yao Cuifen.

How did Deputy Regiment Commander Lu know they were here?

Upon seeing Yao Cuifen, Lu Xiangze knew that he was very close to Su Qiaoqiao.

But to avoid arousing suspicion, he still asked Yao Cuifen about Su Qiao's whereabouts.

Yang Cuifen had no suspicions and assumed that he had come along the main road.

He then pointed in a direction.

"Just now, Qiao Meizi went over there to chase after pheasants."

After thanking him, Lu Xiangze quickly headed towards Su Qiao's correct location.

"Qiaoqiao".

Su Qiao sat on the ground not far away, holding a pheasant in her hand.

That's what caused her to have to fight this battle.

She absolutely has to eat it when she gets back.

Su Qiao turned around, a few strands of hair still messy on her face.

Lu Xiangze saw that she wasn't hurt, but he was heartbroken. His wife was right beside him, yet he hadn't been able to protect her.

He suddenly rushed down the hillside.

The three, who were still quite lucid, stared at Lu Xiangze's four pockets.

The secret passage is terrible.

Just as they were about to take the person back, Li Dajun suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

When she saw Lu Xiangze, she looked a little embarrassed.

Just then, Lu Xiangze grabbed the man, and Li Dajun assumed that this was the man he had arrested, so he didn't suspect anything.

The man's mouth had been gagged.

But he kept shaking his head.

Su Qiao noticed it, but found it a bit strange. Why did this person seem to be greeting Li Dajun?

She looked in Li Dajun's direction but didn't notice anything unusual.

The man suddenly became listless.

"Is there anything I can help you with?" Li Dajun asked.

Lu Xiangze lifted the people up, only to find that their feet were also immobile.

Su Qiao chuckled.

Well, I went a little too far.

Lu Xiangze naturally didn't mind.

Tie the three of them up again.

Then he said to Li Dajun, "I suspect these two people are enemy agents. Let's take them back first."

What Lu Xiangze said is reasonable.

After all, there were no civilians living around here, and the sudden appearance of several people who were not from the military was indeed suspicious.

With Li Dajun's help, the three of them prepared to descend the mountain with their "spoils of war".

Upon seeing the three men, Yao Cuifen was startled. How could so many things have happened in such a short time?

"Sister-in-law, it's not safe on the mountain today, you should go home quickly."

Yang Cuifen nodded frantically.

Su Qiao followed obediently and harmlessly behind Yao Cuifen.

Yao Cuifen, afraid that she would be scared, held Daya's hand in one hand and her hand in the other.

Su Qiao was both amused and exasperated, but she cooperated nonetheless.

After all, it was someone's kind gesture.

Yao Cuifen was going crazy; something always seemed to happen every time she went up the mountain. Could she be getting into trouble with some backstabber this year?

But she only dared to think it in her heart, and dared not say it out loud.

Su Qiao and Yao Cuifen parted ways at the intersection.
