Chapter 207: Are there any more spies?
Liang Jingyao knew that Lin Xiaoyue had concealed a lot in her words just now, but now was not the time to dwell on it. He pushed the wounded Gu Mian away and said, "You still have the nerve to talk like that? Stay away! I'll take care of him!"
Gu Mian walked to the side, stuffed a detoxification pill into his mouth, took out a bottle of blood-replenishing pills, poured them all into his mouth, and then watched Liang Jingyao deal with the dwarf Lai Yu while practicing his skills.
Although Lai Yu is only 1.3 meters tall, he can always escape from danger by taking advantage of his height.
Therefore, Liang Jingyao was unable to gain the upper hand. He winked at the twelve Cheetah soldiers and said, "Attack! I don't believe we can't catch him!"
When Lai Yu saw more than ten people surrounding him, he began to panic. After all, no matter how good he was at hiding, he couldn't withstand the crowds!
Forced into a corner, he began to throw out all kinds of hidden weapons. Since he couldn't survive, these people couldn't expect to have an easy life either!
"Go to hell! All of you go to hell!" Lai Yu roared like crazy.
Liang Jingyao noticed something was wrong and asked sternly, "No! Emperor Liang's men can't possibly have so many hidden weapons. You're from the Jianghu Order! It's said that the Jianghu Order has a Qiji Sect that specializes in developing all kinds of hidden weapons! So you're from the Jianghu Order? Who paid you to kill us?"
Lai Yu was already very angry. He didn't want to pay any attention to Liang Jingyao's questions. He just wanted to kill these people. As long as he killed them all, he could go back and collect the bounty. This time the bounty was more than ever!
"Die, all of you!" Lai Yu's face became more ferocious, and the hidden weapons in his hand became more powerful than the other.
Liang Jingyao watched his men fall one by one. He jumped into the air, and the hilt of the sword was knocked open. The poisonous needles inside flew towards Lai Yu like rain.
Lai Yu was feeling very proud and had no time to dodge, so he fell to the ground with an unwilling look on his face.
Liang Jingyao checked the several Cheetah Army soldiers lying on the ground. Although he had recruited many new people, the Cheetah Army had been with him for so many years and were the most elite group of soldiers except the Silver Slash Guards. So as long as he could save them, Liang Jingyao would never give up!
"Hold on a little longer, I'll have someone send you back to heal your wounds!"
At this point, Gu Mian had recovered about 70% of his strength. He stood up and said, "I'll take them back to the valley for treatment. You go back to the city gate first, in case the Left Prime Minister suddenly leads his men to attack."
Liang Jingyao nodded and said, "Well, there's not much road left to the valley, so be careful on the way!"
"I know. You should go back quickly!" Gu Mian carried a wounded soldier on his back. Then, the other uninjured Cheetah Army soldiers also carried a wounded soldier on their backs. They walked towards the valley in the moonlight.
Liang Jingyao walked back to the tree he had just been to, jumped back and forth, and brought Lin Xiaoyue down.
"That assassin was from Jianghu Ling. It's a pity that we didn't find out who paid for your lives!" Liang Jingyao said depressedly.
Lin Xiaoyue said, "It was Emperor Liang who spent ten thousand taels of gold. I think he wanted to buy your life, but this little dwarf ran into us first."
Liang Jingyao turned around to look at Lin Xiaoyue, smiled and scratched her nose, "Are you willing to tell the truth now? Then why was that man willing to let you go?"
Lin Xiaoyue slapped her head and hurried back to the place where the fight had just taken place. She searched back and forth and finally found the body of the man who had just given her the banknote!
She pulled a stack of banknotes from the man's arms and said cheerfully, "Haha! The money's back! It was this man who told me that Emperor Liang spent 10,000 taels of gold. I promised to give him more than 10,000 taels of gold as long as he would let me go! So he was tempted!"
Liang Jingyao laughed dumbly and said, "Yue'er is really smart! Let's go back!"
Lin Xiaoyue grabbed Liang Jingyao and said, "Let's go to the dilapidated temple and see how many beggars are still inside?"
Liang Jingyao raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why? Do you think there's something wrong with the rest of the people?"
Lin Xiaoyue nodded and said, "Just in case, take them all away!"
Liang Jingyao thought so too. He walked into the dilapidated temple and counted the number of people. There were about a dozen or so people left. "Come with me!"
The beggars were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and kowtowed, begging for mercy: "Please let us go! We are not in the same group as them! We are just beggars who have no food to eat!"
Lin Xiaoyue frowned and asked, "Are the ten people who followed us at the beginning real beggars, or are they fake? Tell me the truth if you want to live!"
The beggars shuddered with fear and immediately replied, "We don't know those people! They should be with them!"
Lin Xiaoyue's heart suddenly tightened, and she looked at Liang Jingyao in frustration, "I'm sorry, Brother Liang, I let a wolf into the house! The city gate is dangerous!"
Liang Jingyao hurried back and shouted to the dozen or so beggars, "Follow me! Otherwise, you will die here!"
The beggars had no choice but to get up from the ground one by one and follow Liang Jingyao towards the city gate.
On the right side of the city gate, there is a house used by the city gate officials to handle official business. Now it has become the place where Chen Hu holds meetings.
Zhan Hu, accompanied by more than 200 people, stood outside the door and shouted, "Brother Hu! I've brought people to you! Come out and see!"
Chen Hu opened the door and asked in surprise, "Where did it come from? This is great!"
Zhan Hu smiled and said, "Miss Lin and Master Gu found us. The master wants us to live and eat with the Cheetah Army and train together. I think we should investigate first before making any plans! Otherwise, if a spy sneaks in, we will be in a passive position!"
Chen Hu agreed and said, "You're right! Go get them some food, and I'll question them one by one!"
Zhan Hu nodded, turned and walked towards the kitchen.
Chen Hu went back into the house, got a pen and paper, and shouted to the two hundred people, "I've already gotten you some food. Now line up and come register with me! Those who register will be given accommodation!"
Xue Shichang took the lead and shouted, "Good!"
Chen Hu glanced at Xue Shichang, who was shouting the loudest, and waved at him, saying, "You go first! What's your name? Where do you live? Who asked you to join the army? Why do you want to join the army? Who else is at home?"
Xue Shichang said with a smile: "My name is Xue Shichang, Shi means secular and Chang means prosperous. I live in Xuejia Village. Today, Miss Lin and a young man came to my house and asked me if I wanted to join the army. They promised to give me money. My father's medical treatment costs a lot of money. I wanted to treat him, so I agreed to join the army. In addition to my wife, son, and parents, there are four people in my family. Oh, by the way, I helped Miss Lin find the 205 people at the back, and she even gave me a reward."
As Chen Hu took notes, he asked, "Can you write?"
Xue Shichang nodded and said, "I will! If Dad hadn't spent all the family money on medical treatment, I could have studied for a few more years and maybe even passed the imperial examination!"
Chen Hu took out two pieces of paper, gave them a pen, and said, "Go over there and write down their names, as well as where they live and how many people are there in their family. Be as clear as possible!"
Xue Shichang took the paper and pen and replied repeatedly: "Yes! I will write it right away!"
