Chapter 96
A night of spring is worth a thousand gold. After seeing off the guests, Mrs. Wang saw that he was still lingering outside, so she urged him to go back to his bridal chamber.
Standing at the gate, Wang Lang looked at the bride sitting upright on the wedding bed with her head covered with a veil. He took a deep breath and stepped inside. He felt that tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.
Yao Chunnuan fell asleep quickly, but there was nothing she could do. She was destined to only sleep for three hours tonight. After three hours, she had to wake up and clean up the mess.
It was a dark and windy night. Pan Buyi, Meng Yi, He Lun and the others stood on the high ground at the only entrance to the valley and felt only cool.
"Is this it?"
"That's right."
"Then let's get started!"
"no problem."
After confirming it, Brother Pan and Ji Ze went down to deploy it.
Pan Buyi and his men were experts at marching and fighting. Therefore, after discussing with Generals Meng Yi and Ji Ze, they made some adjustments to the original plan, making the ambush more thorough and more likely to block the enemy.
This road is the only way to Black Dragon Village, and it is also the closest to their village. This road has few ambush points and is the lowest risk. It is also the most suitable place for an ambush. It is also close to Black Dragon Village, so if there is any major movement, the village can provide timely support. Black Dragon Village is most likely to take this road.
After Brother Pan gave the order, the young generals began to shout in low voices.
"Hurry up, get to work, everyone, be alert!"
"You all have enough to eat and drink, so work harder for me."
"Think about it, if we let the fat sheep escape, would we be worthy of our people? Would we be worthy of the brothers from the Yichun military settlement who led us to work?"
After being urged by their leader, the Gaoshan soldiers instantly became serious. They moved stones when they were told to, moved wood when they were told to, lay down when they were told to, and squatted when they were told to, all holding back their energy.
Pan Buyi, Meng Yi and others looked at it from above and felt that the army's morale could be mobilized, and nodded secretly in their hearts.
As they began to ambush with leaves on their heads, lying, crawling or sitting, the mountains gradually became quiet.
After an unknown amount of time, there was a faint noise coming from the front.
The bandits of Heilongzhai were really happy today. They were walking back excitedly, each of them carrying, on their backs, or holding the looted property and food.
"Master, this vote is too easy to get."
"Yeah, it took almost no effort." Only a few lives were lost and a dozen people were injured during the forced attack, but compared with the gains, this loss was almost negligible.
"If only every robbery could go so smoothly."
"Captain, who got this information? It's so accurate." He knew the location of the secret vault, the defense of the secret vault, all of these clearly, and he could even tell you one or two of the treasures inside. It was too detailed.
The village chief also felt that the harvest was extremely satisfactory.
After the people from Black Dragon Village had completely entered the mountain stream, a sharp whistle sounded.
An ambush! The bandits instantly stood back to back, facing the hillsides on both sides.
On the Gaoshan side, a loud-voiced man jumped out first, "I opened this mountain, I planted these trees. If you want to pass through here, you have to leave money for passage!"
Bandits: ...
Damn, my words were stolen!
No, who is this person who dares to attack their Black Dragon Village?
"Captain Cao, good evening." Meng Yi, his face covered, came out from his perch to greet him. He had no choice but to refuse the job, but General Pan, like their general, was known for his seriousness and couldn't handle it. He Lun was too polite, and while Pan's younger brother was eager to try, He Lun thought it would be best to let him observe and learn first.
The people in Black Dragon Village did not say anything. They looked at the black arrows with a cold glow pointing at them. A conservative estimate was that there were probably three to four thousand people.
The second in command whispered, "The chief is a tough guy." You know, there are only so many people in their entire village, and it is obvious that the other party is well-trained.
The chief asked, "Excuse me, which tribe are you from?"
They came out tonight to alert people to the major forces in Yichun, just to prevent gangs from attacking each other, but clearly no one from them was out tonight. Where did this group of 3,000 to 4,000 people come from?
"No matter who your friends are, I think everyone who sees it should get a share." Meng Yi pointed at the property they robbed and said with a smile.
Bandits: God damn it, whoever sees it will be punished.
"Friends, have you known about the movements of our Black Dragon Village for a long time?" The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. The village chief was no fool; he began to doubt the source of his information.
But Meng Yi would never tell him, "That's not the case. We just happened to be passing by your precious place and saw that you have made a lot of money, so we wanted to ask for some good fortune from you."
Bandits: I wouldn’t believe you!
"Hey, friends from Black Dragon Village, you can't blame us. Life is hard for everyone, and you take so many things out. Isn't that like a fat sheep crossing the street?" Meng Yi said in a servile manner.
Bandits: Is it our fault?
The bandits in Black Dragon Village were furious at his words. Being robbed was bad enough, but they were also angry. Were they trying to get away with it? They couldn't wait to get back to the village.
They really wanted to chop him into meat paste. The bandits looked at their leaders, their knives ready to move.
"Okay, enough nonsense. Now, I ask you to put down your weapons and belongings." Meng Yi's face changed instantly.
Pan Xiaodi shouted from the side, "Yes, I'll shout three times. If you don't drop your weapons, don't blame us for being rude!"
The bandits cursed in their hearts, "What a psycho! He changes his face so quickly!"
The leaders of Black Dragon Village clenched their weapons tightly. People die for money. The other party wanted to rob them and steal all their property. They had no choice but to give it a try.
He Lun hurriedly said, "Master Cao, don't worry. You've worked hard tonight to get so much treasure. Even if you haven't made any contributions, you've worked hard. So we've unanimously decided that we'll only take half of the treasure and leave the rest to you. We won't take even a tenth more."
The village chiefs exchanged glances. This wasn't unacceptable. If they really fought, both sides would surely suffer losses. If they lost, it would be a huge loss. Anyway, they had easily taken the property this time, and they could still keep half of it, which was worth their hard work tonight.
"Okay, I hope you can do what you say!" The chief was the first to throw down the spear in his hand. Seeing this, several leaders also threw down their weapons unwillingly.
Meng Yi, Pan Buyi, He Lun and others looked at each other and thought, "Tsk, everything was predicted by Master Yao correctly."
"Hurry up, everyone, work faster!" Brother Pan shouted as he jumped down first.
Two teams of about twenty veterans brought by Meng Yi and Ji Ze also went down and demonstrated to them how to quickly pick up the stolen goods.
Cao and his men found that as soon as they dropped their weapons, the enemy moved. Half of them came down to collect the spoils, while the other half still drew their bows and aimed at these bandits, with sharp eyes and no movement.
Damn, this guy's posture in collecting the spoils is so professional! And he's so disciplined, even more well-trained than those bandits!
Gold and silver are small in size but great in value, so just take two-thirds of them!
Jade plate finger ring? Okay.
Gold ring? Yes.
Jade melon cup? Okay.
Pick up, I pick up, pick up, pick up!
The village chief was very upset when he found that the other party only took away small and valuable items, leaving them with those bulky things. However, the things the other party took were only half of the value, so it was not possible to accuse them of breaking their promise.
This skillful posture clearly showed that it was premeditated. He just said those words and disguised himself as someone who was greedy for money, just to deceive them!
When the battle was almost over, the Gaoshan soldiers stopped.
Meng Yi laughed heartily and said, "Thank you, Village Chief Cao, for your hospitality. We'll see you later."
Village Chief Cao chuckled and cursed their ancestors for eighteen generations in his heart.
Bandits: God of Plague, go away! See you later! Who wants to see you later? Go away!
Pan Buyi waved his hand, and the soldiers began to retreat in a well-trained manner. The team that picked up the stolen goods went first, and the archers followed.
From the moment they met to the moment they retreated, the enemy took less than half an hour. The people of Black Dragon Village could only dejectedly pack up the large belongings that the enemy had despised.
"Captain, who are they? There aren't any treacherous gangs like that in Yichun, right?"
"I don't know, but the leaders of the other side all covered their faces. Obviously they were afraid of being recognized by us."
When they packed up and set off again, people from the mountain village also came. Seeing that they brought back so many things, they were all very happy.
The chief village chief and several other leaders were depressed. They had no idea that they had been robbed and their property had been reduced by half.
After learning about it later, he comforted them, saying, "This is already very good."
Several people in charge: Well, ignorance is bliss. Contentment brings happiness. The ancients were right.
Everyone's joys and sorrows are different. As for the Gaoshan people, they were all ecstatic! With just one operation, they'd scooped up 130,000 or 140,000 yuan worth of treasure! And crucially, there were no casualties! It was like picking up money.
When they arrived at the designated location, Yao Chunnuan was already waiting there.
"General Pan, you should leave the city quickly. We will take care of the rest." When Yao Chunnuan came, he also brought them the local specialties, grains and other things he had promised them before. More than twenty full sacks were piled at his feet.
Pan Buyi pondered for a moment and said, "Okay." He looked at He Lun.
He Lun came over with a black cloth bag and put it on the ground, "These are half of the property we seized tonight. Thank you for your help these days." Although Yao Chunnuan and the others had said before that all the spoils would be given to the Gaoshan people, they could not be ignorant.
Yao Chunnuan didn't even look at the bag. She just said, "If you take all of this away and leave it to us, we'll be in trouble. I'm not being polite when I say this; I mean it."
"Okay then." The Gaoshan soldiers all knew that they could not cause trouble for the Yichun military settlement, and seeing that she was serious, they could only pick up the bags again.
"Time is urgent, you should leave the city quickly. There is still a long time to come, and we will meet again when there is a chance." Yao Chunnuan looked at the sky and urged them.
"Well, if you need any help in the future, just send someone to Jiachuan and we will definitely help."
"Yes, you are all friends of the Gaoshan people. The Gaoshan people and the Yichun military settlements have always been good friends."
"Thank you, thank you so much."
Before leaving, they were all very naughty.
"Master Yao, General Meng, General Ji, if you have the chance, you must come to visit us in Jiachuan. We Gaoshan people have many beautiful women and handsome young men. When you come, you can take your pick!"
"Yes, yes, Master Yao, you can choose any man from our Gaoshan tribe! If the one you like is me, I'm not against it."
Yao Chunnuan was at a loss for words. You can do it, but I can’t!
