Chu Jinjin replied politely, "We have different positions, General Lü, you're too kind."
"I knew you were indeed the Imperial Envoy, but I was under someone else's control and dared not come to pay my respects," Lu Tianlei sighed. "Fortunately, Lord Chu is skilled in martial arts, otherwise I would have committed a heinous crime."
Chu Jinjin didn't know what their relationship was, but Lu Tianlei's attitude clearly meant there was nothing to worry about anymore.
With Jie Du and Lü Tianlei on board, it seemed like there was nothing left for her to do. The two of them were drawing diagrams and analyzing things on the ground, and quickly finalized a specific plan.
It feels so good to not have to worry about anything.
Time waits for no one. Soon, Lü Tianlei led his men away to make arrangements, while Chu Jinjin took Jie Du back to Black Tiger Mountain Stronghold.
Few of the villagers could sleep; they might lose their heads tomorrow. Of course, except for Li Dahua, who had insisted on waiting for Chu Jinjin to return, but she didn't last long before her snoring became deafening.
A group of people waited anxiously for news of Chu Jinjin's return, accompanied only by the sound of snoring.
Upon seeing Jie Du returning with them, the chieftain jumped up immediately: "Jie, Chief Jie?"
Even though we only met once, the impression was so deep.
"It's been a long time, Boss." Before Chu Jinjin could even speak, Jie Du greeted her and went straight to the plan that was about to be implemented.
There was almost no resistance.
Given Chu Jinjin's status as an imperial envoy, and the current predicament of the mountain stronghold, there is no other way out.
Soon, the mountain stronghold awoke, and countless people ran around.
Li Dahua was also woken up. She was quite grumpy when she woke up, and luckily it was Chu Jinjin who woke her. Her angry face immediately turned into aggrieved when she saw Chu Jinjin: "Husband, why did you take so long to come back?"
Jiedu: "Husband?"
Chu Jinjin had completely forgotten about this on her way here, and pointed to herself helplessly, saying, "She thought I was a man."
Li Dahua rubbed her eyes hard, then snuggled up to Chu Jinjin like a big cat, letting out a satisfied sigh of relief.
She was the biggest weapon in tonight's operation. After offering a few words of comfort, Chu Jinjin took her outside to find a suitable weapon.
The head of the gang once wanted to make her a special weapon, because what kind of person would she be, hitting people with a tree all day long? But whether it was an iron rod or a spear, Li Dahua was not used to it. She was used to the fan-shaped attack of the tree canopy, which could hit a large number of people at once.
Hearing that a tough battle was coming, Li Dahua didn't ask any questions. She pulled up a tree that was three or four meters tall, and proudly hoisted it onto her shoulder: "Husband, you can hide behind me later. Dahua is really good at fighting."
Chu Jinjin nodded with a smile. Fortunately, she was on her own. With only this tree, she had no other choice but to run away.
At the same time, I felt a strange sense of emotion.
I feel guilty for the dependence that Li Dahua has on me, which I can't quite define. I know she'll leave once this is over. What will happen to Li Dahua?
I'm afraid of developing feelings.
Li Dahua was abandoned by her parents and is mentally immature. She doesn't know what would happen if she disappeared again.
The bandits barely slept, assembled quickly, and silently descended the mountain. Once they saw the agreed-upon signal, they immediately launched their attack.
Chu Jinjin and the other two were at the very front.
The deafening roar startled countless birds into flight, and everything went incredibly smoothly.
The 20,000 troops from the north were only thinking about guarding against Chu Jinjin. They never expected that there would be a defection from the county government. For a moment, they didn't even know what was happening, let alone react. They groggily ran out of their tents and saw the county government troops rushing towards them, thinking they were their own people.
Then, he was slammed to the ground.
Of course, some reacted quickly, after all, they had the advantage in numbers, but soon, the people from the Black Household stronghold arrived.
Li Dahua knew no martial arts at all, relying entirely on brute force. She swung the small tree branches with a whooshing sound, sweeping away large areas at once, making it impossible for anyone to get close. Even if someone shot an arrow at her, it was either blocked by the branches or shot down by Chu Jinjin.
Chu Jinjin was truly enlightened at this moment.
Li Dahua didn't unleash her true power during the day.
Jiedu's actions also impressed her.
The iron spear taken from the mountain stronghold resembled a dragon; although it wasn't as powerful as Li Dahua's, it still possessed the imposing aura of a wolf among tigers.
Looking at herself in comparison, she was far inferior. If it weren't for Li Dahua protecting her, she would have inevitably gotten injured.
Screams echoed throughout the room.
Chu Jinjin had the upper hand and caught everyone off guard. They quickly advanced to the center of the army, where Zheng Tiangui was located.
"Li Dahua, keep up with me!" Jie Du had already spotted her and charged forward with a low roar. After a few steps, he turned back and saw Li Dahua charging back.
She discovered there were even more people behind her, and with more people, it was more fun to beat them up.
Jie Du: "..."
Fortunately, there was Chu Jinjin.
It was still dark, but Chu Jinjin's eyesight was not significantly affected, and she saw Zheng Tiangui, who was surrounded by a crowd and dressed in armor.
"Lu Tianlei, do you have a death wish? You actually colluded with the bandits of the Black Household Mountain Stronghold." Zheng Tiangui remained calm under pressure, his roar carrying the unique aura of a superior, "Come on, take him down, regardless of whether he lives or dies."
Lu Tianlei laughed loudly: "General Zheng, a wise man submits to circumstances. I have already verified Lord Chu Jinjin's token, which was indeed personally bestowed by the current emperor. If you still want to live, quickly lay down your weapon and come to pay your respects."
Chu Jinjin had mentioned it during the day, but hearing it from Lü Tianlei's mouth made it many times more credible.
Although the expressions of the people around him were not visible, their demeanor had clearly changed.
Zheng Tiangui roared, "Bullshit! Lü Tianlei, I have a secret order from the Governor-General that this Chu Jinjin is an imposter. Don't you believe the Governor-General?"
Both sides have their reasons.
Chu Jinjin didn't have time to wait; Zheng Tiangui clearly knew everything and couldn't be persuaded.
At this moment, Zheng Tiangui was under tight protection, and there were people everywhere he looked.
But this is also where Li Dahua can best demonstrate her abilities.
Upon receiving the order, Li Dahua, full of energy, rushed to the front and began scanning the dense crowd.
The generals behind them did not flee, but instead raised their shields to defend themselves. However, the next moment, they felt an immense force that was completely irresistible. Either their shields flew out of their hands, or they flew away with their shields.
Jie Du seized the opportunity, took the lead, and his spear moved so fast that it was almost impossible to see his shadow.
Without the shield, Chu Jinjin could finally unleash her hidden weapons. Luckily, she had brought her weapon pouch with her. She had already used up all her darts, but she had plenty of needles to target the enemy's facial features.
In an instant, Zheng Tiangui's formation was thrown into chaos.
The battle was almost one-sided.
Zheng Tiangui stopped shouting and started to flee. There was no end in sight behind him, and there were still warhorses. As long as he escaped the encirclement, how could they catch up with him?
At this point, the situation has escalated beyond simply resolving the crisis of the bandit gang being trapped; Zheng Tiangui must be apprehended.
"Dahua, don't follow me. Wait for me and protect Jiedu." Chu Jinjin shouted, not caring whether Li Dahua listened or not. She picked up a long sword for self-defense and moved like lightning, plunging into the enemy ranks in the blink of an eye.
