Chapter 206: Gu Mian was besieged
Lin Xiaoyue counted the money very slowly. She slowly took the silver note of ten thousand taels from in front of the man. The man's pupils constricted and the sword in his hand began to loosen.
The stinging sensation on her neck disappeared instantly, and Lin Xiaoyue was secretly delighted. She shook the banknote in her hand and continued to lobby: "See? As long as you nod, I will give it to you immediately!"
The man held out his hand and said, "Give it to me! I'll let you go!"
Lin Xiaoyue didn't believe it completely. She took out half of the banknote and said, "I'll give you half first. If you take me to a safe place, I'll give you the rest!"
The man asked warily, "Where?"
Lin Xiaoyue pointed in the direction of the city gate and said, "I want to leave the city. Just take me to the city gate."
The man didn't believe it and didn't put down the sword in his hand. He continued to ask: "You won't save your friend?"
Lin Xiaoyue said with certainty: "Save me! I'll go out of the city to find reinforcements! Don't worry, I won't betray you!"
The man hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Then give me the money! I'll take you there."
Lin Xiaoyue readily placed half of the banknotes in the man's hand and said, "Let's go! If you don't leave now, someone will catch up with us!"
The man stuffed the banknotes into his arms, grabbed Lin Xiaoyue's arm with one hand, put the sword against her neck with the other, and pushed and pulled her towards the city gate.
At the city gate, Liang Jingyao saw hundreds of people coming in a mighty procession. He looked carefully but did not see Lin Xiaoyue and Gu Mian.
Suddenly, Liang Jingyao's eyes fell on the folding fan in Xue Shichang's hand. He frowned and asked, "Where did you get this fan?"
Xue Shichang glanced down at the fan and asked excitedly, "Do you recognize this fan? Are you the Liang Jingyao that Miss Lin Xiaoyue mentioned?"
Liang Jingyao took the fan and opened it, and found that the fan was indeed Gu Mian's, because there was Gu Mian's handwriting and his seal on it.
"Yes, it's me! Where are Yue'er and Amian? Where did they go?"
Xue Shichang pointed in the direction of the ruined temple and said, "They took a little boy to the ruined temple to pick up a little girl. They said they would be back soon."
Liang Jingyao was a little puzzled. Where did the little boy and girl come from? Don't let them get trapped and never come back!
He felt a little annoyed and wanted to find Lin Xiaoyue immediately! But before leaving, he had to make arrangements for these hundreds of people first. "Have you all eaten?"
Xue Shichang shook his head and said, "Not yet."
Liang Jingyao turned around and looked at Zhan Hu, and said to him, "Leave them to Chen Hu and let them train with the Cheetah Army. Let them eat and live with the Cheetah Army!"
Zhan Hu said worriedly, "Master, can these people keep up with the intensity of the Cheetah Army's training? Don't scare them away before even a day of training!"
Liang Jingyao waved his hand and said, "Then let Chen Hu supervise the training. I have to go check on Yue'er and Amian. It's already dark, why haven't they come back yet?"
Zhan Hu asked with concern: "Do we need to call the brothers to go with us?"
Liang Jingyao nodded and said, "I'll take care of a group of people, you go ahead and get busy!"
Zhan Hu clasped his fists and replied, "Yes! Master!"
As he said this, he led more than 200 people to look for Chen Hu.
Liang Jingyao selected a group of people from the Cheetah Army and was about to set off when the person he had been thinking about appeared before him!
"Yue'er! You are so bold! Who told you to point the sword at Yue'er's neck!" Liang Jingyao drew his sword in a hurry and wanted to kill the man who was holding Lin Xiaoyue.
The man got nervous and brought the sword closer to Lin Xiaoyue's neck. "Girl, you have to keep your word! Otherwise, my sword won't have eyes!"
Lin Xiaoyue calmly stuffed the remaining half of the banknote into her pocket and said, "Why would I lie to you? Put down your sword!"
Seeing that the banknotes were in hand, and that everyone here was Lin Xiaoyue's helpers, the man didn't bother Lin Xiaoyue anymore. He put down his sword and turned to leave. "Thank you, Miss!"
Lin Xiaoyue relaxed her neck and said to the bewildered Liang Jingyao, "Why are you standing there like an idiot? Let's go save Master Gu!"
Liang Jingyao still couldn't figure it out, so he pulled Lin Xiaoyue aside and asked, "What are you doing? Didn't you say you were going to pick someone up? Why are you saving Amian again? What happened?"
Lin Xiaoyue was anxious and pulled Liang Jingyao towards the ruined temple. "It's too late. I'll explain it to you on the way! Hurry up!"
Liang Jingyao was helpless and waved to the people behind him, saying, "Hurry up and follow me!"
So, the Cheetah Army, consisting of twelve people in a group, followed Lin Xiaoyue and Liang Jingyao and walked towards the ruined temple.
On the way, Liang Jingyao did not forget to remind Lin Xiaoyue and asked, "You haven't told me what happened to you two yet?"
Lin Xiaoyue was afraid that Liang Jingyao would be angry, so she evaded the main point and said, "Master Gu and I discovered a spy. To avoid alerting the enemy, we went to the ruined temple first. Sure enough, that was the spy's lair! So, we have to carefully investigate the more than 200 people we recruited. There might be spies among them."
Liang Jingyao was a little confused. He felt that Lin Xiaoyue had omitted many things, such as how the spy was discovered and where the recruits were recruited from.
But they were about to reach the ruined temple, and saving people was the most important thing now, so he planned to turn around and continue asking Lin Xiaoyue.
"Emperor Liang is very cunning. Don't act alone again in the future! What should I do if something unexpected happens?" Liang Jingyao knocked on Lin Xiaoyue's head angrily and distressed.
As they were talking, Lin Xiaoyue had already brought Liang Jingyao back to the outside of the ruined temple. "Brother Liang, look, there's a fight going on over there!"
Liang Jingyao had also seen the fighting scene. Gu Mian was almost surrounded and beaten. It was not easy for him to hold on until now!
He sent Lin Xiaoyue up the tree and told her, "Just sit here and don't move! I'll come pick you up after I've dealt with those bastards!"
Lin Xiaoyue knew that Liang Jingyao was afraid that she would run away, so she hugged the thick branch and nodded repeatedly, "Yes! Brother Liang, don't worry!"
Liang Jingyao jumped down from the tree, drew his sword, and shouted, "A Mian, I'm here to save you! Everyone, come on, kill them all!"
Twelve Cheetah Army soldiers followed Liang Jingyao and rushed towards the fighting crowd. When Gu Mian saw Liang Jingyao coming, his body that was almost unable to hold on suddenly seemed to be injected with chicken blood, and the sword in his hand became powerful again!
"Jingyao, be careful with these people, they all have hidden weapons! Damn it, I've been hit several times!" Gu Mian cursed in frustration.
When Liang Jingyao faced these spies, he found that their martial arts were very powerful, and Gu Mian had reached his limit by being able to hold on until now!
He approached Gu Mian while fighting and killing, "Follow me closely! I'll protect you!"
Gu Mian moved closer to Liang Jingyao, and the two of them defended each other from the front and the back, making their killing power even greater!
Although there were several hidden weapon attacks during the period, they were all blocked by Liang Jingyao and Gu Mian. In the end, most of the spies were killed, leaving only a short man.
Gu Mian looked at the man with rage and cursed angrily, "Jingyao, it's this dwarf! If he hadn't disguised himself as a child to trick us, we wouldn't have fallen for it!"
