Soon, Xuanyuan Zhan and Bai Ying were lying on the hilltop again, waiting for the "Holy King" to bring the official grain into the northern lands.
Bai Ying glanced at Xuan Yuanzhan, who was staring intently down the mountain, and asked in a low voice, "Are you really going to listen to them and kidnap the Holy King?"
Xuan Yuanzhan didn't even look up: "You don't want to do it?"
White Eagle confidently raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm different from them. My brothers all listen to me. I can lead my brothers away. But since you want to do this business, then I'll risk my life to accompany you!"
Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Zhan finally turned to look at him.
Seeing the sincerity on Bai Ying's face, Xuan Yuanzhan sighed helplessly, then turned his gaze and said, "There's no need to risk your life! Take care of yourself later, and be sure to stay safe!"
I didn't expect this kid to care about him so much.
With his martial arts skills, he'll naturally be fine!
If they can really capture the Holy King, then he can safely evacuate with his brothers.
As dawn broke, it was soon past midnight, which was also when everyone was most sleepy.
Seeing that everyone was drowsy, Zhang Debiao couldn't help but shout in a low voice, "Cheer up, everyone! The big deal is coming soon!"
His shout instantly snapped everyone out of their daze.
Xuanyuan Zhan suddenly perked up his ears and squinted, saying, "They're here! They're ten miles away."
Everyone stared at Xuan Yuanzhan in stunned silence.
Has he gone mad?
He can hear sounds from ten miles away?
Bai Ying also looked at Xuan Yuanzhan in surprise.
With his martial arts skills, he couldn't hear anything from three miles away, yet he could hear sounds from ten miles away!
Just how powerful is this kid's martial arts?!
After a moment of stunned silence, Zhang Debiao immediately shouted in a low voice, "Listen to the Third Master, prepare everything for me!"
As soon as Zhang Debiao said this, the bandits of Yinhu Village immediately went on high alert.
Bai Ying also chose to believe Xuan Yuanzhan and immediately waved his hand, and the bandits of Liuying Village all became alert.
Suddenly, two cuckoo calls came from the opposite valley.
Zhang Debiao immediately responded with three "Cuckoo" calls, and the Black Panther Village and Wolf Fang Village on the opposite side immediately went on alert.
Everyone held their breath and waited for half an hour before finally hearing the sound of horses' hooves, footsteps, and the wheels of a cart.
Everyone's hearts jumped into their throats, and they all held their breath, staring intently at the valley below.
Zhang Debiao immediately gave Xuan Yuanzhan a wink, but Xuan Yuanzhan ignored him and kept his eyes fixed on the valley below.
Meanwhile, Mu Lingchen, accompanied by his two bodyguards Shan Baishan, Wan Dan's grain, and 100,000 soldiers, entered the valley in a grand procession.
The bandits lying in ambush on the hilltop were completely dumbfounded when they saw the soldiers pouring into the valley.
Is this the big deal the bosses were talking about?
So many soldiers?
Even if they were transporting gold, they probably couldn't win.
Zhang Debiao was secretly pleased to see them entering the valley in an orderly manner.
One hundred thousand soldiers is indeed a lot, but the valley is only so big, and it would be quite difficult for all of them to enter the valley. If a real battle broke out, they would not be able to match one hundred thousand soldiers.
Moreover, the government grain they were escorting was ahead; once all of this grain entered the valley, they could make their move.
Furthermore, they had prepared large stone balls. Once the official grain supplies entered the valley, they would roll the stones down to block the path. This would separate the soldiers in front from those behind, making it easy for their 40,000 men to trap their 10,000!
Moreover, their prince was at the very front; once Su Zhan captured their prince, their retreat would be even easier.
Zhang Debiao seemed to have already seen their victory, and the more he thought about it, the more excited he became.
Once all the soldiers escorting the grain had entered the valley, Zhang Debiao suddenly shouted, "Release the stones!"
Zhang Debiao's voice was very loud, and the bandits on both sides of the valley who were responsible for pushing the stone balls did not hesitate at all before pushing their own stone balls down.
"Boom!"
A rumbling sound came from both sides of the valley at the same time, instantly throwing the soldiers, who had only entered the valley not long ago, into a panic.
Mu Lingchen immediately looked towards both sides of the valley and drew his longsword: "Everyone be careful, there are ambushes on both sides of the valley!"
Soldiers either poured into the valley or were forced to leave.
After the chaos, several large stone spheres blocked the entrance to the valley.
Sure enough, just as Zhang Debiao had predicted, almost 90% of the soldiers were trapped outside the valley.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Debiao and the others were overjoyed.
"It's a success!"
"Attack! Seize the food!"
No one knows who gave the order, but the bandits who were lying in ambush on both sides of the valley rushed down the valley like cannonballs and ran wildly toward the carts of grain.
Once the bandits reached the bottom, they began to loot the grain.
The soldiers were already bewildered by the sudden turn of events, and now that so many bandits had suddenly appeared to steal the grain, they were even more confused. They were in a panic and outnumbered, and had no way to protect the grain.
Shan Bai and Shan Shui were terrified when they saw the densely packed bandits surging down the valley.
"My lord, they're all bandits!"
"So many, so densely packed, there are just too many bandits in the north!"
Mu Lingchen frowned when he saw the bandits.
I knew there were bandits in the north, but I never imagined there would actually be so many.
There must be tens of thousands of people here, so densely packed.
Xuanyuan Zhan must have arrived in the North five or six days ago, but I haven't seen him send any messages.
