Chapter 297 Lost? 】
Xiao Yunshuo glanced at her and said, "Let's go back for now and discuss this with Master Chen before making a decision. There are both Northern Rong soldiers and Qu Wenmin's men in this mountain right now. We're outnumbered, and simply hiding won't cut it. So, it's best for us to make adequate preparations beforehand to avoid being caught off guard."
Chen Fenghe nodded. In this situation, especially since they were all exiled people, old, weak, sick and disabled, it was indeed not easy to defeat the enemy with a small force.
However, it is definitely better to make some preparations in advance than to be caught off guard by the attack.
After Chen Fenghe and Xiao Yunshuo had discussed it, they returned to Chen Wu's place with the captured people along with the officers.
The officer was also shocked to see that they had actually caught a man. Xiao Yunshuo only said that it might be a bandit in the mountains who deliberately disguised himself as a villager to investigate. The officer was a spineless man and only wanted to go back and tell Chen Wu and let Chen Wu make the decision, so he did not ask many questions along the way.
When they returned to the place where the exile team was, Yuan Xu had also returned. He went over to Xiao Yunshuo and Shen Fenghe and said, "Master, Madam Shen, I deserve to die. I dealt with the man who chased the officials. But... the official who turned back... I was able to catch up with him at first, but then I lost him for some reason."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yunshuo looked up at Yuan Xu in surprise and asked, "Lost him?"
Yuan Xu’s kung fu is not bad, so anyone who can make him lose track of him must also have good kung fu.
In fact, he might even be better than Yuan Xu.
If that's the case, then... that person alone would probably be able to defeat all the officials including Chen Wu and a group of exiled prisoners.
Why didn't he take action, but just watched?
Qu Wenmin actually has such a skilled person under his command?
What is even more puzzling is that he sent such a skilled person to track down the exile team. Isn't that a bit of a waste of talent?
Could it be that Qu Wenmin doubted his and Yuan Xu's identities and became cautious?
Chen Fenghe also thought of this, but she quickly said, "I think we shouldn't speculate for now. No matter who that person is, he should appear again tonight. We can only fight him as he comes.
Xiao Yunshuo nodded and hummed softly.
The two men found Chen Wu and told him their guess that someone might attack them tonight.
Chen Wu had always respected and trusted them, so upon hearing this, he couldn't help but be horrified: "This... Could it be that those Northern Rong soldiers have discovered us? What should we do?"
Chen Fenghe said calmly, "Master Chen, don't panic just yet. When we were exploring the road ahead and the surroundings, we discovered a relatively well-hidden location that's both easily defended and difficult to attack. Why don't we go there first and quickly set up some traps? That way, if someone does come to attack us, we'll have a better chance of winning."
Chen Wu nodded quickly and said, "Yes! Everything is up to you, Miss Shen."
Chen Wu immediately ordered the exile team to go to the place mentioned by Shen Fenghe first.
It turned out that this was a hidden cave. The entrance was only wide enough for one person to enter by bending over. However, the space inside was large enough, and there were some intricate paths inside, most of which were dead ends. However, one of the paths could lead to the other side of the mountain. At critical moments, one could escape by this path.
