"These guys aren't sleeping, what are they doing?"
"We crept over quietly, and the villagers didn't notice us." Cao Jie quickly led his men to hide in the darkness.
Wu Zhiguo: "So what if they found out? They're just a bunch of starving peasants. What can they do to us?"
Cao Jie: "We're here to kill Jiang Tian, and to get rid of Li Xue'er and Li Fei'er. Don't expose yourselves."
The other dozens of people nodded in agreement.
They quickly made their way into the village.
The village chief's house is located in the very middle of the east end of the village. It has a large gate and courtyard, so it's easy to spot.
The group tiptoed to the back gate of the village chief's house; it was already late at night.
Except for someone digging a well day and night at the village entrance, everyone else was asleep.
Cao Jie took out a boning knife and gently pried open the bolt on the back door of the yard.
With a creak, the courtyard gate was slowly pushed open.
"Wu Zhiguo, you guys come in with me first. Did you bring any sleeping powder?"
"I brought it. Don't worry, this sleeping gas is enough to knock out a bull, and it's more than enough to deal with Jiang Tian and the other two."
The village chief's house had a three-courtyard layout, and they entered the third courtyard.
Inside Jiang Tian's house, the three of them, having finished their meal, were chatting.
"Brother, my sister and I have a favor to ask."
“Speak,” Jiang Tian said, touching Li Xue’er’s pointed chin.
“We were thinking of sending some things back home in a few days; we’ve been starving for ages.”
"Absolutely." Jiang Tian patted his chest loudly. "You two girls are so gentle and lovely. It's only right that you take such good care of me and your parents."
"I'll go to Erlong Mountain tomorrow first, and then I'll go with you when I get back."
"Great!" The two sisters jumped out of bed excitedly.
"It's nothing, don't worry. I'll take care of this. I'll make sure your parents don't go hungry."
The night watchman's drum sounded at midnight.
"It's late, let's continue." Jiang Tian smiled slightly at the two girls.
The two little girls blushed.
...
Cao Jie and his men crept over quietly.
A series of noises came from inside the house.
Upon hearing this, Cao Jie cursed under his breath: "A bunch of bastards, having a good time now, but I'll cut you all in two later."
Hearing the commotion coming from the main room, Wu Zhiguo and his dozens of men outside started cursing.
They weren't shouting loudly, but the system had already sensed it all.
Jiang Tian was in high spirits.
[Ding, Cao Jie's rage points +1111]
[Ding, Cao Pangzi's anger level +666]
[Ding, Wu Zhiguo's rage value +777]
[Ding, from...]
The system notification sounded more than thirty times.
Jiang Tian was instantly enraged.
Damn, what's going on?
"Big Brother, what's wrong?" Li Xue'er and Li Fei'er quickly sensed it.
"nothing."
Cao Jie nudged Wu Zhiguo and asked in a low voice, "Why is there no movement?"
"I don't know. Whatever, I'll put on some sleeping powder, and after a cup of tea, we'll rush in, kill Jiang Tian, and snatch those two girls."
"Everything in Gao Jun's house is ours. We can take whatever we want when the time comes."
Wu Zhiguo quietly crept up to the window of Jiang Tianzheng's house.
The moonlight shone down.
Wu Zhiguo's shadow was reflected on the window.
Jiang Tian was shocked when he saw it.
He quickly understood what those dozens of system notification sounds meant.
There were many figures in the courtyard, and although the footsteps were not loud, he could hear them clearly.
Li Xueer and Li Feier had already realized that someone had entered the courtyard.
The two little girls were so frightened that their faces turned pale.
"Big Brother," the two little girls trembled.
"Shh..." Jiang Tian quickly covered their cherry-like mouths and quietly got out of bed.
Wu Zhiguo walked to the window, dipped his finger in his mouth, and gently poked a hole in the window paper.
Jiang Tian quietly walked over.
Wu Zhiguo slowly extended a bamboo tube inside, preparing to blow sleeping powder into it.
Jiang Tian reacted quickly, grabbing the bamboo tube and blowing hard.
With a whoosh, the sleeping powder all went down Wu Zhiguo's throat.
Wu Zhiguo started coughing violently.
Before he could even cough a few times and speak, everything went black and he knew nothing more.
With a thud, Wu Zhiguo collapsed to the ground.
"Damn it, what are you doing, you idiot?" Cao Jie cursed under his breath.
"They don't even know how to use sleeping powder properly, what a waste of such a good sleeping powder," Cao Jie picked up the bamboo tube and waved to the person next to him.
The sleeping powder was given to them by Gao Jun. Gao Jun and his son used it to harm countless young girls in Peach Blossom Village.
"Fatty Cao, come here."
"Brother Jie, you have to give me one of Li Xue'er and Li Fei'er, I still don't have one..."
"Damn it, hurry up and stop babbling."
Fatty Cao quickly and slowly inserted the bamboo tube, preparing to release the sleeping gas.
Jiang Tian made a gesture towards the back.
The twin sisters, Li Xueer and Li Feier, quickly and tremblingly climbed off the bed and hid under it.
Jiang Tian opened the system space and took out his composite bow.
He drew his bow and nocked an arrow, aiming at the bamboo tube that was being inserted.
With a whoosh, the compound bow was fired, though the sound was not loud, its power was enormous.
An arrow shot through the bamboo tube, and the force of the arrow propelled it out from behind Fatty Cao's head.
The arrow flew too fast for anyone to see what happened. Fatty Cao only felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, and his body fell backward uncontrollably.
With a loud bang, Fatty Cao's two-hundred-pound body crashed down the steps.
"Damn it..." Cao Jie cursed again, lowering his voice, "Fatty, what are you doing? I told you to blow sleeping powder, did you have to make sure everyone knew?"
Although Cao Jie lowered his voice, it was still quite loud.
Upon hearing this, Luo Xiaohu and the others in the front yard quickly jumped out of bed.
There's some noise in the backyard.
“Brothers, get up with me and go to the Lord’s courtyard.”
...
Cao Jie then waved to Wu Dong beside him: "I'll leave the task of releasing the sleeping gas to you. Don't mess it up."
Wu Dong nodded: "Brother Jie, you should have handed the matter over to me from the beginning."
"Hurry up, stop talking nonsense."
Whoosh... An arrow flew out from inside, heading straight for Wu Dong's head.
Before Wu Dong could react, an arrow pierced his right eye and exited from the back of his head, the arrow covered in brain matter and a piece of his skull was blown off.
With a thud, Wu Dong collapsed to the ground.
"Damn it, what's wrong now? Is there some kind of poison on this bamboo tube that will make anyone who touches it faint?"
