Chapter 105: Strong Wind
After reaching the top of the mountain from halfway up, the way down was much easier. Looking at the dotted border towns at the foot of the mountain from afar, everyone in the exile team looked relaxed, while most of the officials had gloomy faces.
"Brother, how about we take action while we're resting halfway down the mountain?"
Chen Er followed behind Wang Gang and asked in a low voice. He had no mind to appreciate the beautiful scenery from top to bottom. He was only thinking about revenge.
The wound caused by Wen Chengyun still hurts a little. Although it is said that revenge is never too late for a gentleman, as an official, he needs to return to his hometown to report after completing the escort mission.
Once he returns to the capital, the next escort mission might be to some barren land with high mountains and long rivers, and revenge would be a distant dream.
As soon as this topic started, the other officials also pricked up their ears and listened. The closer the people from Prince Qingping's Mansion were to their exile destination, the fewer opportunities they had to take action. They had been escorted all the way, so who would be willing to let a cooked duck fly away at any time?
"You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry... If it really doesn't work, forget it. We've caused a lot of trouble to the Qingping Palace family along the way. Your life is more important."
Wang Gang narrowed his eyes slightly. He had been thinking about it a lot since the last hunting attempt failed. After much deliberation, he still felt that he should not involve his brothers.
Most of the brothers were after the money, which could be earned or not, but he and Wen Chengyun had a deep blood feud, and he had originally thought of killing two birds with one stone: revenge for his younger brother and a chance to collect a bounty. But now it seemed that revenge would be difficult to avenge...
As soon as Wang Gang said this, the officials who were still a little eager to try looked at each other in bewilderment. Even the eldest brother wanted to give up? In terms of martial arts and strategy, they couldn't even match the eldest brother. Was there any point in making such a fuss?
"Why is Big Brother saying such depressing things? Isn't that plan Li Kui proposed earlier a good one? It can kill people without them even noticing..."
Chen Er frowned slightly, obviously not expecting Wang Gang to drop out at the last minute. His eyes rolled around and he quickly came up with an idea.
Since Wen Chengyun is a skilled martial artist, we can just poison him first. Whether it's in the water or the food, it won't have anything to do with the officials. After all, everything that comes into the Qingping Palace is taken care of by Cheng Weiyao alone...
The officers were whispering in front, while Cheng Weiyao moved closer to Wen Liyu and whispered instructions. Although she did not stop, Yu Guangque kept an eye on the officers' movements.
Just by looking at their expressions, you can tell that there must be someone with evil intentions among them...
"It looks like we're not far from our destination. On the way down the mountain, our family should stay together as much as possible to prevent any accidents."
"I know what's going on. If there's any emergency, please take good care of Cheng Ming..."
Wen Liyu's smile as she looked at the scenery faded a bit, and her expression became much more serious.
The situation currently appears calm only because there are so many people. In broad daylight, it's difficult for the police to break the law knowingly. If they get the right opportunity, they will definitely kill...
As soon as he finished speaking, thick clouds suddenly rolled up from the horizon, rapidly swirling. The originally bright sunlight was obscured in an instant, and the trees around him began to shake...
"It seems like a strong wind is coming, please take good care of your belongings!"
Wang Gang narrowed his eyes and shouted loudly, sighing that what he wished for came true. Maybe it was because his younger brother was in heaven and took the initiative to give him the opportunity?
The donkey carrying the bag began to grow irritable, shaking its head and stamping its hooves, refusing to move forward. The officer leading the donkey, apparently unaware of this, stubbornly dragged it along while cursing, "You wild beast! You're failing at the crucial moment! Get out of here! Do you really want me to whip you?"
A long line of birds flew across the sky, flapping their wings and scrambling to leave, as if they were fleeing. Turning back to look at the donkey that had been quite obedient along the way, Cheng Weiyao had a bad premonition in her heart.
Human feelings and judgments mainly rely on the five senses of sight, hearing, smell, touch and taste. Regardless of whether they are animals swimming in the sea, flying in the sky or walking on the ground, most of them have the ability to sense subtle vibrations and changes in the earth, air and water.
All signs indicated that it was no longer suitable to travel, so Cheng Weiyao shouted at the top of her voice.
"Everyone, please stay away from the stone steps and find a flat place nearby to take shelter..."
But at this time, flying sand and rocks were already coming with the whistling wind, and the footsteps and shouts of the exile team began to become impatient and noisy.
"Cheng Ming! Hide quickly! Come to me!"
The Imperial Concubine took Wen Chengming's hand and planned to take emergency shelter nearby as Cheng Weiyao said, but she didn't expect that the strong wind would blow away Wen Chengming's precious books.
"Oh no, my book!"
Wen Chengming let go of the Imperial Noble Consort's hand in a hurry and reached out to grab her, but as soon as he let go, he was blown back by the strong wind in the blink of an eye according to his small body size, and the distance between him and the other people in the Prince Qingping's Mansion widened a lot.
Wang Gang, who had been planning this for a long time, saw Wen Chengming who was alone and kindly wanted to go over and kill him alone, but before he could go over, Wen Chengming was grabbed by the adults of other exile teams.
"Young Master, hold my hand tightly, the disaster will soon be over..."
The lady hugged her child in one hand and grabbed the collar of Wen Chengming's shirt as he staggered backwards with the other. Cheng Weiyao had taken good care of her in normal times, and this was the time to repay her kindness, so it was natural for her to lend a hand.
"Come to me, you orphans and widows. When the storm is over, your man will come to you..."
Wang Gang waved to his wife with a worried face, and Wen Chengming was indeed alert. Although Wang Gang was not among the officers who had taken action before, as the leader, he might be the one behind the scenes.
"Young Master?"
The lady felt Wen Chengming's resistance and frowned in confusion.
"We are closer to here and do not need the protection of the police."
At the critical moment, Wen Chengming's little head was still smart, and he pulled his wife to hide behind a big rock nearby.
Wang Gang's face darkened slightly. Wen Chengming, this little guy, was very cunning, but his legs were on his body. If the other person was unwilling to fall into his trap, couldn't he take the initiative to attack?
It's good to be behind the big rock. It will be harder to be discovered when I take action because I can hide my body. This strong wind is really the east wind that God is helping me! Thinking of this, Wang Gang's pace quickened a lot.
Chen Er, who was always keeping an eye on his big brother's movements, followed closely behind him with a few brothers who also wanted to make money, their eyes full of eagerness to try. He knew that with his big brother's personality, he wouldn't give up easily. Was he planning to make a fortune on his own?!
