Chapter 263 Liang Jingyao is in trouble!
At night, the moon begins to climb up the branches, and the stars light up the dark sky.
Lin Xiaoyue had already finished dinner, but Liang Jingyao still hadn't come back. Lin Xiaoyue was still sitting outside with her chin hanging down. Even the drunkard was restless and paced back and forth.
"Dad, I want to discuss something with you." Lin Xiaoyue spoke almost in a pleading tone.
The old wine monster knew what Lin Xiaoyue wanted to say without asking, and refused without hesitation: "If you don't even want to go to the mountain to find Jingyao, I will never agree!"
Lin Xiaoyue said dejectedly: "Do you have any other good ideas? Brother Liang can't get into trouble. It's been so long, we have to go out and look for him!"
The drunkard rolled his eyes and said with a helpless smile, "Have you forgotten that Jingyao gave you a carrier pigeon? If you're really worried, just send the pigeon flying. If even the pigeon can't come back safely, then we have to find a way to go up the mountain and do our best to rescue them!"
Lin Xiaoyue slapped her forehead and said in frustration, "Why didn't I think of this! I'll write a note right now!"
With that, Lin Xiaoyue returned to the tent, picked up a pen and wrote the four words "Return safely", then took out a carrier pigeon from the space and tied the note to the pigeon's calf, "Fly, go find Brother Liang!"
The carrier pigeon flapped its wings and flew out of the tent.
On Yangming Mountain, Liang Jingyao was experiencing the most brutal battle. Those fake refugees who retreated from the city gate had indeed returned to Yangming Mountain. Without the cover of the city wall, these fake refugees from the Jianghu Order attacked even more unscrupulously, so that Liang Jingyao had no way to retreat, and there were only a few people left with him. If no reinforcements arrived tonight, he might even die!
Suddenly, a carrier pigeon fell from the sky and landed on Liang Jingyao's shoulder. Liang Jingyao recognized the carrier pigeon at a glance. It was the one he gave to Lin Xiaoyue!
Liang Jingyao tore off the note from the carrier pigeon. When he saw the words "return safely" written on it, Liang Jingyao's eyes reddened slightly. There was still a fierce battle in front of him. Writing a letter for rescue was unrealistic in this situation. So, Liang Jingyao wiped the blood on the pigeon's feathers, and then sent the pigeon out with force, "Go!"
When the fake refugees saw the interaction between Liang Jingyao and the carrier pigeon, they immediately felt something was wrong. They wanted to shoot arrows to stop the carrier pigeon, but Liang Jingyao was faster and shot the arrow directly into the air and dropped it to the ground.
Liang Jingyao shouted coldly: "Who dares!"
These fake refugees came from all over the world and had never seen Liang Jingyao's majestic and intimidating gaze. They were frightened and stood still for a moment. It was during this time that the carrier pigeon successfully flew high into the sky.
After a while, the carrier pigeon slowly landed on Lin Xiaoyue's shoulder.
Lin Xiaoyue excitedly held the carrier pigeon in her palm, but after searching around, she found no reply!
"Dad, Brother Liang read my note but didn't reply. What's going on? Could it be that someone else got the carrier pigeon?" Lin Xiaoyue became more and more worried the more she thought about it. She thought of all the bad possibilities.
The drunkard took the pigeon and examined it, then said, "There's no reply, but didn't you see the blood all over the pigeon? Maybe Jingyao is in danger and doesn't have time to reply! This blood must be his reminder to us! Let's go, let's gather the team and go into the mountains to rescue Jingyao!"
Lin Xiaoyue stopped the drunkard and said, "Dad, it's not safe up there. You don't know martial arts, and you don't have any hidden weapons for self-defense. You'd better stay here! I promise to bring Brother Liang back safely!"
The drunkard carried the medicine box on his back and said disapprovingly, "How can I not go? If Jingyao gets hurt, I can treat him on the spot! Anyone can not go, but I can't! Besides, I made that wooden hairpin of yours. Who said I don't have a hidden weapon for self-defense? Let's go! If you keep nagging, I won't let you go!"
Lin Xiaoyue smiled helplessly. The drunkard took Liang Jingyao too seriously, even to the point of risking his life!
"Okay. I'll go find Zhan Hu to recruit troops now!" Lin Xiaoyue ran out in a hurry.
When Zhan Hu heard that Liang Jingyao was in danger, he quickly assembled his troops and said to Lin Xiaoyue, "Miss Lin, everyone who can go is here. And I'm sorry, my master told me to guard the city gate before he left, so I can't go up the mountain with you. But don't worry, the people I give you are all capable of fighting and will definitely not hold you back!"
Although Lin Xiaoyue felt a little regretful, she still understood that the city gate must not be lost, otherwise all the efforts for so long would be wasted!
"It's okay, Zhan Hu, just stay here with peace of mind. I will definitely bring Brother Liang back safely!" Lin Xiaoyue said firmly.
Zhan Hu clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Miss Lin, for your hard work!"
Lin Xiaoyue said goodbye to Zhan Hu and led a group of people to the place where the fake refugees lived on Yangming Mountain.
Sure enough, the place was already in a blood-thirsty state, with corpses strewn all over the ground. There were only a few people left who had been brought by Liang Jingyao, and the more than one hundred people that Lin Xiaoyue brought up the mountain were simply a timely relief!
"Hurry up and help Brother Liang. Kill all those counterfeit goods for me. You'll get a reward of 100 taels for every head you chop off! Charge!" Lin Xiaoyue shouted at the top of her voice.
The Cheetah Army was already eager to protect their master, and now that they learned there was a reward, they were even more excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood, and all rushed forward with swords in hand.
"Dad, there is cover over there, it's more hidden, let's go there to watch the fight!" Lin Xiaoyue was worried about the safety of the drunkard, so she didn't rush forward, but pulled the drunkard to hide in a hidden place.
And while the drunkard wasn't paying attention, Lin Xiaoyue activated the space invisibility function and hid both of them.
The drunkard was so focused on fighting Liang Jingyao in front of him that he didn't notice Lin Xiaoyue's little move at all.
After watching for a while, the drunkard remembered the agreement of one hundred taels and said with a pained look on his face, "Girl, are you really going to give one hundred taels per head? Isn't that too much?"
Lin Xiaoyue said nonchalantly, "This little money is nothing! Besides, special cases require special treatment. We brought over a hundred people to the mountain, so there will be fewer people at the city gate. So we must make a quick decision and get back as soon as possible!"
The old drunkard sighed and said, "You're right. No matter how good Zhan Hu is at fighting, he can't stop a huge army! I hope your method works!"
Lin Xiaoyue was still very confident in her method. Before she traveled through time, she liked to read history books. At that time, she read an article that said that when the Qin State was fighting, military merit was calculated based on the number of heads. At that time, military merit was the only way for ordinary people to become high-ranking officials and gain wealth, so this method greatly motivated ordinary people at that time.
Now he was using this method to stimulate the Cheetah Army. Although one hundred taels of silver was not as much as a high official position or a generous salary, it was indeed not a small amount.
Moreover, in the Dongsui Kingdom, there is no military pay for recruiting soldiers, but the whole family does not have to pay taxes and labor service, so paying one hundred taels per head is already a lot for them!
