Chapter 397: Xie Yuchuan, you're a little weird
"Xie Yuchuan?"
Xie Yuchuan came back to his senses when he heard someone calling him. He raised his eyes and met two pairs of inquiring eyes at the same time.
Han Qiguang asked curiously, "What are you thinking about, General Xie? I've been talking to you for a long time, but you haven't said anything."
Xie Yuchuan glanced at Xiong Jiushan who was sitting beside him, and suppressed the brief absence of thought in his eyes. He straightened his expression, pondered for a moment, and asked the two of them, "Where are you talking about?"
Xiong Jiushan: “…”
Han Qiguang: “…”
He looked at his good brother.
Xie Yuchuan, something's wrong with you?
Xie Yuchuan ignored his inquiring gaze, and thought back slightly, remembering the topic of the previous discussion among the three of them.
"In my opinion, before dawn, when the sleeper is about to wake up, it is a good time to take action. We can strike first."
Xiong Jiushan and Han Qiguang looked at each other.
The two were silent for a while, and then Xiong Jiushan spoke helplessly.
"This topic has been decided. Now it is said that Wan Lichun, the leader of Qinglong Village, has disappeared."
Han Qiguang couldn't help but glance at him.
Is it embarrassing?
The suspicious eyes seemed to want to see Xie Yuchuan from inside to outside.
Young Master Han was puzzled. He rarely saw Xie Yuchuan like this. He had only been away for two days. Was Xie Yuchuan possessed by an evil spirit, or what?
Xiong Jiushan naturally also saw Han Qiguang's not very "friendly" look, and couldn't help but remind him with his eyes.
Han Qiguang twirled his beard lightly, generously giving Xiong Jiushan some face, and his eyes suddenly softened a lot.
Xie Yuchuan was stunned when he heard this.
However, as someone who had led troops for many years, although the current situation was a little awkward, he did not look flustered. Instead, he clasped his hands in front of him, pondered for a moment, and said in a natural tone, "Wan Lichun is just a puppet. Without him, the enemy would not let us go. Otherwise, they would have withdrawn their sentries long ago and looked for another opportunity. You should have noticed something from the way we walked just now."
Xiong Jiushan nodded and said, "I've sent someone over to check it out."
"It's useless. They are a cunning bunch and are good at mountain roads. We followed them all the way so that we could report anytime."
Han Qiguang avoided Xiong Jiushan's sight and made a silent gesture to Xie Yuchuan under his leg.
【Everywhere is in place.】
Xie Yuchuan saw it and blinked slightly.
The exile team had little time to rest, so Han Qiguang came with a caravan of more than 60 escorts to seek refuge with Xiong Jiushan, and the reasons were ready.
The Panlong Mountains have been in turmoil recently, and they were escorting goods for their boss just to pray for safety, so they sent a tribute of silver and dozens of swords as a request for protection. They believed that there was strength in numbers, and they just wanted to cross the mountain.
At this point, Xiong Jiushan wasn't afraid of outsiders seeking asylum, let alone large crowds, especially since they could produce legitimate identities and documents. These were all secondary; the most crucial point that made him happily nod was that the person was brought here by Taoist Guanghan.
Xiong Jiushan privately believed that Taoist Guanghan, who had witnessed the powerful power of the Xie family's gods with his own eyes, must have been deeply shocked.
Three people formed an alliance to achieve the same goal.
Seeing that he was about to take action, he brought over a team with self-defense capabilities. Xiong Jiushan even suspected that those people were fooled by Han Qiguang.
After checking the identity of the caravan, Xiong Jiushan had someone take them to the back and let them walk with the Min family's caravan.
"When it gets dark, we'll split into two groups and have them follow the other group so we can provide support."
Han Qiguang nodded. "That's perfect. With the soldiers here to support us, there are more men and more women and children among the refugees. If anything happens, they will be a help."
The three of them exchanged a few words, and seeing that the officials around them had already started shouting and hurrying on their way, they stood up on the small hill.
Xiong Jiushan asked Han Qiguang, "Should I give the Taoist priest two people to accompany him in case of any emergency?"
Han Qiguang subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when the words came to his lips, an idea came to him and he said, "Thank you for your care, sir. I will listen to you. It would be best if you could pick two smart ones."
Xiong Jiushan nodded and immediately asked someone to call two smart soldiers over. After giving them some instructions, he handed the man over to Han Qiguang.
Han Qiguang accepted it with a smile. When he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something and turned around to stop Xie Yuchuan.
Xie Yuchuan looked puzzled:?
Han Qiguang looked around and asked him mysteriously in a low voice, "Is the family god here right now?"
Although his voice was low, Xiong Jiushan, who had not left yet, could hear it. He looked around and then looked at Xie Yuchuan.
Xie Yuchuan remained silent, frowning slightly.
"Is there something wrong, Taoist priest?"
The tone was strange. Han Qiguang was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook his head and didn't take it to heart.
He smiled and said, "Nothing, I just wanted to remind you that gods generally don't like to see bloody and filthy things. I wonder if the Xie family gods have the same preference. If they don't like to see killing, then General Xie should make plans for tonight's bandit suppression as soon as possible."
Xie Yuchuan: ...
Han Qiguang felt happy when he saw his expression.
"Master Xiong, General Xie, I will take my leave now. I will use the signal fire as a signal."
After Han Qiguang left, Xiong Jiushan and Xie Yuchuan returned side by side.
Xiong Jiushan glanced at the unclear expression on Xie Yuchuan's face, looked up at the gathered crowd, hesitated for a moment, and felt that Taoist Guanghan's reminder before leaving made some sense.
But if the Xie family god is not here... he is not completely sure about suppressing the bandits.
It's really difficult.
He looked at Xie Yuchuan again, and thought of the spear given by the gods in his hand, and immediately gained more confidence in Xie Yuchuan.
Regardless of what he was thinking, when the two separated, Xiong Jiushan hesitated for a moment and then expressed his thoughts.
"If the general is confident about this bandit suppression mission, why not ask the gods to protect the elderly, the weak, women and children and help them escape safely? This way, we can go into battle lightly and without any worries."
Xie Yuchuan's eyes darkened, and he asked, "It seems that the Lord has a little more trust in me, Xie Yuchuan."
A person who had previously refused to cooperate with the gods was now actually starting to consider the concerns of the Xie family's gods. At this moment, Xie Yuchuan was still a little moved.
He nodded slightly and said nothing.
"Sir, after this night, we must hurry up."
Xiong Jiushan's expression paused slightly, then he suddenly understood and nodded.
The two of them went back to each other.
The exile team set off again. They rested for a while, ate and drank enough, and walked a little faster in the afternoon. However, what surprised everyone was that the speed of travel today was not fast. Because of this, the team walked and stopped frequently and did not feel too tired.
Xie Yuchuan looked back from time to time on the way.
He turned around, and Xie Wenjie beside him also turned around.
I wonder what Sixth Brother is looking at?
Xie Yuchuan walked for more than an hour, but the family god did not appear again, and he couldn't help feeling a little strange.
The family god said before that he was going to visit grandmother and others. Could something have happened there?
