A sinister laugh came from inside the door. "As I expected, he would react like this. If we proceed according to the plan, there will be no peace in the General's Mansion tomorrow night!"
The man in black nodded, "Yes!"
Sure enough, before dawn the next day, Xiao Duo really led his troops out of the city in a high-profile manner and went to the so-called bandits' lair!
But they were destined to come back empty-handed. This was a trap set by those people. There was nothing here, it was just to attract Xiao Duo's people over.
The actual weapons transportation route is another mountain road.
They had dug through the mountain and were trying to transport the weapons out from the middle of the mountain.
A large amount of military equipment was being transported out of the city, and someone was shouting in a low voice in the mountains.
"Hurry up, hurry up! While the people in the Black Armor Camp are confused by us, quickly send the things out!"
"What are you afraid of? Their people are already on the West Mountain. Even if they know something is wrong, we have already been transported out. They can't catch up even if they want to."
"Now that they have messed up their job, Lord Xie can show his face in front of His Majesty and impeach Xiao Duo for his incompetence."
"Yes, yes, if you show up and retrieve these instruments, you will have done a great deed!"
Xie Qingxu snorted coldly, "Who told them to be so confident? I just want to trick him!"
There was a mad look in his eyes, "I am obviously more powerful than him, why does he have the guts to be so proud in front of His Majesty!"
Just as Xie Qingxu finished speaking, a roar came from the mountain.
Several escorts were suddenly knocked to the ground, and then a deep voice sounded in the cave: "Thank you, sir, your contribution is not small."
Xie Qingxu's face changed, and he turned back angrily. Seeing someone quickly subdued his men, he shouted angrily: "Who dares to block my way!"
A tall figure walked out from the shadows, wearing black armor. It was Xiao Duo!
He looked at Xie Qingxu coldly, his voice as cold as ice: "Master Xie, it seems that you played this play very well, but it's a pity that I am not easy to fool."
"Xiao Duo!"
Xie Qingxu's expression was unpredictable, "Why are you here?! Aren't you supposed to be..."
Before he finished speaking, he realized that he had said something he shouldn't have said and immediately shut up.
Xiao Duo looked at him with a half-smile, "Shouldn't I be over at Xishan?"
"Your people are too stupid. They really thought I was on the right track, so they didn't even investigate and brought us here directly."
Xie Qingxu cursed inwardly, "Idiot!", and then forced a smile, "General, you misunderstood. It's just a misunderstanding."
Xiao Duo shrugged, "Misunderstanding? I don't think so."
He turned to the soldiers who were accompanying him and said, "Stop them and take back all the weapons without leaving any behind!"
Seeing this, Xie Qingxu's eyes flashed with panic, and he immediately shouted: "What are you doing!?"
"Thank you, sir. This is a violation of the law for personal gain. You are so brave to smuggle military equipment."
Xie Qingxu sneered and suddenly raised his voice: "Brothers, you have followed me for so long, you are still afraid of them, take these people down for me!"
Following his order, Xie Qingxu's men immediately drew their weapons and engaged Xiao Duo's men head-on!
The two teams quickly engaged in battle, weapons clashed, and fire flew everywhere!
Xie Qingxu wanted to escape in the chaos, but Xiao Duo drew his sword and chased after him!
As the swords faced each other, Xie Qingxu gritted his teeth and said, "Xiao Duo! Don't go too far. Don't forget that I have my own abilities!"
Xiao Duo sneered, swung his sword across, and pushed Xie Qingxu back several steps. "Really? Then why is Lord Xie running away?"
A hint of cruelty flashed across Xie Qingxu's eyes, and he stared at Xiao Duo and sneered: "Do you think you can trap me today? You are wrong!"
Before he finished his words, he quickly took a few steps back, waved his hand to command his men to continue resisting, in an attempt to escape!
Suddenly, he glanced towards the cave entrance on one side, with a hint of anxiety in his eyes, as if he was looking for something.
Xiao Duo keenly noticed his movements, and thought to himself that something was wrong. He immediately swung his sword towards Xie Qingxu's defense line and approached suddenly!
"Master Xie, where do you want to escape to?" Xiao Duo smiled coldly, and the tip of the sword almost touched Xie Qingxu's robe.
Xie Qingxu's eyes narrowed, and he already had a plan in mind!
He turned around suddenly, raised his knife and rushed towards the exit of the cave, his steps were extremely fast, as if he was prepared!
At this moment, there was more than one person chasing him, and he was still thinking about how to fight back.
However, his actions did not escape Xiao Duo's eyes.
Xiao Duo narrowed his eyes, and then ordered the soldiers behind him to quickly surround the cave and block any possible retreat routes.
"General, Xie Qingxu seems..."
"Yes, I understand."
Xiao Duo raised his hand to interrupt him. His voice remained calm, but the light in his eyes was as sharp as ice.
Then, he commanded the other soldiers to divide into two teams, one group surrounded the cave entrance, and the other group quickly went deep into the cave to prevent the remnants of Xie Qingxu from escaping.
At this moment, bursts of noise suddenly rang out from deep in the cave.
Xiao Duo sneered in his heart. As expected, Xie Qingxu had planned it all along!
At the same time, on the other side of the cave, several figures were lurking in the dark, hiding very low-key.
"Thank you, sir, for telling us to use the second plan. Xiao Duo is not easy to deal with!" One of the men in black whispered, his words full of vigilance.
"We'll take action once Xiao Duo's men rush in," another man in black replied.
Xiao Duo's army finally formed a siege at the entrance of the cave. Several soldiers hurried over and reported the situation in the cave: "General, Xie Qingxu is missing, but there seems to be someone else deep in the cave."
Xiao Duo frowned, a trace of uneasiness flashed in his eyes: "Be careful, don't fall into an ambush!"
"Yes, General!"
The soldiers in front nodded and rushed into the cave with swords in hand.
"General Xiao! There's something weird here!" The soldier walking in front of the cave suddenly shouted.
Xiao Duo's eyes darkened, and he immediately drew his sword and shouted to the people behind him: "Be careful!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw rocks flying all around!
Dark shadows rushed out from all directions and pounced on them like tigers.
Xiao Duo and several soldiers retreated quickly, but the enemy's attack was so fierce that they were forced to retreat step by step.
"Protect the general!" A soldier from the Black Armor Camp roared and rushed up quickly to block several men in black.
Xiao Duo frowned, dodged quickly, and swung the sword in his hand, stabbing at the opponent's vital point.
The opponent was stabbed and immediately vomited blood and fell to the ground!
In the chaos, Xiao Duo saw the other passage from which these men in black came out. He immediately had an idea in his mind and took a few people into the dark mountain passage!
Sure enough, Xiao Duo met Xie Qingxu inside who had not had time to leave!
"Stop hiding." Xiao Duo said coldly.
