Outside the military camp, after receiving Lin Jinyue's plan, Lin Xueqing waited there with a group of people.

Several people were squatting in the tree.

Liu Erzhuang's legs went numb from squatting.

Lin Xueqing brought only the village's elite this time, all of whom were skilled in movement and had excellent archery accuracy.

Lin Xueqing looked at Lin Gousheng, who was trembling.

He frowned: "Gousheng, can you still fight?"

Lin Gousheng's legs were trembling as he said in a shaky voice, "Yes, definitely! I can definitely fight! Watch me shoot them all through with one arrow!"

Liu Erzhuang laughed: "You're shaking like this, don't expect us to have to send someone to carry you later."

Lin Gousheng stammered, "No, no, you can rest assured!"

Distracted by Liu Erzhuang and the others, Lin Gousheng's legs stopped shaking so much.

Lin Gousheng turned eighteen a month ago. When he reached the age, he chose to join the army. He had little experience, but he was very talented and had a great talent for archery. So Lin Xueqing brought him out with her.

This kid is just inexperienced; he's only trying to save someone, but he's gotten this nervous.

Lin Xueqing wasn't too concerned, after all, they still had a trump card—smoke bombs with anesthetic effects.

However, these smoke grenades should not be used lightly.

They need to conceal their identities this time and try to avoid trouble.

If I use it, I'm afraid it won't be convenient to take it out again next time I encounter a similar situation.

At this moment, Liu Erzhuang hurriedly said, "They're here, they're here, but... their condition doesn't seem quite right?"

Nowadays, glass is not difficult to make, and several people can each have a telescope.

Through the binoculars, Lin Xueqing saw hundreds of soldiers moving slowly forward together, each with a pained expression, clutching their stomachs.

Every now and then, someone would leave to take care of personal matters in the grove, and then jog to catch up with the main group.

Gu Shao, who was tied in the middle, was covered in injuries and walked with a limp, but he had no other problems.

No wonder it was later than they had expected.

Lin Xueqing also brought Gu Shao's uncle, Gu Yanfeng, with her this time.

He told Gu Yanfeng, "My sister must have done something to them. They don't look good. We can handle them easily."

Gu Yanfeng was somewhat shocked.

It wasn't just their prop called a "telescope" that surprised people.

Seeing that Lin Xueqing remained calm throughout, it seemed that storming the execution ground was not a difficult task for him.

Lin Xueqing said to Gu Yanfeng, "We don't need smoke grenades now. Try not to hit vital organs with those soldiers. Shoot them in the legs. Saving lives is the most important thing."

None of them had ever killed anyone, and they thought that these soldiers were just following orders, so there was really no need for them to kill anyone.

When the group got closer, Lin Xueqing ordered them to shoot arrows: "Be careful not to accidentally hurt General Gu. Just hurt the people around him."

These soldiers were given a strong dose of drugs, and none of them could withstand it.

Several men stood on the tree and kept attacking with crossbow bolts. Before long, the entire army was in chaos.

Gu Yanfeng and Lin Xueqing, dressed in black and masked, went together to rescue people.

Gu Shao was somewhat surprised when he saw the two of them.

He stared at Gu Yanfeng in disbelief: "Uncle, you, you..."

Lin Xueqing took the person away, while Gu Yanfeng stayed behind to cover their retreat.

Without his notice, his black mask fell off.

Gu Yanfeng didn't linger in the fight, kicking one enemy after another, and quickly left under the cover of the archers.

These arrows were not the unimproved crossbow bolts provided to Gu Shao and his men; they were similar to bows and arrows, but much more lethal.

Similarly, most people wouldn't be able to tell that it's a crossbow.

The woods here are dense, and the soldiers are all suffering from stomach problems, with many also injured, making it impossible for them to catch up.

Lin Xueqing immediately led them away from the planned route, not bothering to explain much to Gu Shao.

On the other side, inside the military camp.

Xie Hong ate the most lavish meal, but also had the worst diarrhea.

He came out of the outhouse, and he could barely stand.

Upon emerging, he learned that Gu Shao had been kidnapped, and he flew into a rage.

Xie Hong never suspected that Lin Jinyue and the others had kidnapped Gu Shao, after all, even if the two of them had caused a great disturbance, they were just refugees.

Now they can barely be called merchants.

But Xie Hong didn't take these people seriously at all.

Xie Hong listened to Deputy General Gao's report with a frown.

Even his trusted confidant, Deputy General Gao, was quite nervous at this moment.

"I heard... Gu Shao calls that man 'little uncle'."

Xie Hong slammed his hand on the table, about to explode in anger, when his stomach growled again, and his expression changed several times.

Finally, unable to resist any longer, he went to the outhouse with a sullen face.

When Lin Jinyue arrived, this was the scene she saw, and she almost burst out laughing. Wasn't this exactly what they deserved?

The sight of Lin Jinyue gave Deputy General Gao a headache. He asked coldly, "What are you doing here without the general's orders?"

Lin Jinyue said with a smile, "I'm here to ask the general for permission to return to Yunhe Village."

Without a second thought, Deputy General Gao refused outright: "Forget it. The general won't let you go back. If you know what's good for you, stay here obediently. If you cause any trouble..."

His gaze suddenly turned cold, and his tone was full of threat.

Lin Jinyue said unhurriedly, "It's all uncertain. My father and I have made a new discovery: glass can only be made in Yunhe Village. I'll talk to General Xie about it, and maybe he'll agree."

After thinking for a moment, Deputy General Gao went out directly, only instructing the two guards at the door to keep a close eye on the person.

He didn't want to get into trouble right now, and it just so happened that Lin Shucheng and his daughter had run into the line of fire. He would wait until General Xie had finished venting his anger before coming over.

Lin Jinyue sat in a chair, and after a while, Xie Hong lifted the curtain and came in.

His face was deathly pale, and he was still cursing and swearing: "Where's the army doctor! What's he doing? Hasn't the medicine been prepared yet?"

When he saw Lin Jinyue, his expression turned even uglier.

For a fleeting moment, Xie Hong even thought that this matter might be related to Lin Jinyue.

But he quickly rejected it.

She's just a country girl, how could she have such great skills?

Lin Jinyue recounted the story of the glasswork: "To be honest, we discovered the glasswork by chance. It's not that we're unwilling to hand it over, but we can't guarantee that this method will be 100% successful."

Xie Hong was feeling very uncomfortable at the moment and didn't want to listen to her nonsense. He was a little impatient: "I'll let you go when you finish making it."

Lin Jinyue looked troubled: "General Xie, it's not that I don't want to do it, it's just that I really can't. Moreover, the process of making glass is very dangerous and may endanger the people around us. Several people in our village have already died... If we rashly change the formula and something happens, I'm afraid I'll lose my head."

Lin Jinyue asked somewhat shyly, "How about this, I'll give you another method first, how about making salt? Once we've figured out how to make glass, we'll tell you first."

It must be said that Xie Hong was pleased with Lin Jinyue's attitude.

This wild girl made him lose face a lot before, but now that Gu Shao is no longer backing him up, he has no choice but to obediently bow his head.
