Chapter 491: Making a Feint to the East and Attacking in the West
Since they were going to negotiate with King Li the next day, they all went to bed early that night.
The night is dark and windy, which is perfect for people who hide during the day and come out at night.
"Here I come."
In the quiet night, a slight sound appeared, breaking the silence. Qin Feng immediately straightened his body and shouted silently.
Soon, a few sneaky people appeared in front of Qin Feng.
"Be gentle!"
When landing, the other party accurately stepped on the dry branches that Qin Feng and his team had placed in advance. For fear of alerting the other party, they did not dare to place too many branches. This little bit was enough to let Qin Feng know that someone was coming.
"Could someone be ambushing us?" The man who stepped on the branch didn't dare to lift his foot and looked around vigilantly.
The man who asked him to be gentler also looked around. Before he set out on this journey, he felt that he should not come here, but he was also following orders and had no choice but to come here.
So, when they realized something was wrong, they wanted to retreat.
"Don't talk." The person next to the man held him down and then spoke in their ears.
It’s a pity that in a space without any other sounds to suppress it, their whispers can also be heard by others.
"They are trying to escape!" At that moment, Qin Feng didn't know where this thought came from, but he shouted it out without thinking.
The people present were stunned for a moment after hearing this shout, and Qin Feng seized the opportunity.
"Don't run." Qin Feng jumped out and grabbed a man's collar.
The other party naturally would not surrender obediently and tried to break free from Qin Feng's hands. Qin Feng actually failed to stop him.
"Don't dwell on it too much, go back!"
Someone on the other side was giving orders. They had no intention of fighting with Qin Feng and the others, and were focusing all their energy on escaping.
As a result, a scene of chasing each other appears.
But the night is suitable for exposing some shameful thoughts and also for hiding people's traces.
The movement of Qin Feng and his men also woke up the other soldiers, but the advantage of having more people did not become apparent at this time.
“Where are the people?”
They looked around and in the blink of an eye, they lost sight of each other.
"Search!" Qin Feng shouted sharply, "They must still be here."
But the ending did not satisfy them, and they could hear sounds coming from various places afterwards.
"No."
"Neither here."
"Can they fly without people?"
There weren't many places to hide here, and even though it was dark, it was impossible that they couldn't find anyone after such a long time.
"Make a feint to the east and attack in the west." Qin Feng suddenly stopped recruiting people and turned back sharply in the direction of Jiang Lin.
"Go back!" Qin Feng gave the order quickly.
The soldiers were confused and returned in bewilderment, but before they had taken a few steps, a little fire appeared in front of them, which quickly illuminated the place.
"Prince! Prince and the others are in danger."
Now the soldiers' confusion disappeared, and their slow pace disappeared, replaced by a rapid run.
"The fire is coming! The fire is coming!"
At this time, there was not only firelight, but also candlelight.
While they were looking for water to put out the fire, several figures took advantage of the chaos to escape, but their figures were also reflected in the fire.
"They are there!" Qin Feng shouted, pointing in a certain direction.
But no one noticed him and just kept putting out the fire.
Qin Feng shook his arms and was about to chase after him alone, but the crowd was so mixed that Qin Feng did not succeed and was stopped at the fire.
Before arriving in front of the fire, Qin Feng's mind was still preoccupied with the idea of finding someone. But when he arrived in front of the fire, Qin Feng was suddenly stunned.
In the firelight, he seemed to see a big fire long ago.
At that moment, Qin Feng rushed into the fire regardless of anything.
The people nearby saw him and quickly grabbed him, "Master Qin, what are you doing?"
"I want to go in and save people!" Qin Feng waved his hand and was about to rush in.
"There's no one inside, Mr. Qin, don't move!" The man hugged Qin Feng's waist tightly and shouted loudly.
Qin Feng stopped rushing forward at this moment. He turned around and saw a few people who were staring at him and forgot to splash water on him. He turned back and glanced at the hand on his waist.
"I'm not going in. You can let go now." Qin Feng turned his head and said to him.
The person behind him was stunned for a moment, then slowly let go of the arm that was holding Qin Feng.
The fire burned fiercely. The good thing was that no one was seriously injured. The bad thing was that it took them a lot of effort to put out the fire, and the final losses were also large.
Qin Xiangnuan and Jiang Lin looked at the mess, then their eyes met and they were silent for a moment.
"We'll make them make up for their losses tomorrow." Qin Xiangnuan said slowly.
Jiang Lin nodded, expressing his deep agreement.
"We've been busy all night, everyone should go back and have a rest!" Qin Xiangnuan turned around and said to these dusty people.
The crowd gradually dispersed afterwards, and those who suffered minor burns also received medicine from Qin Xiangnuan.
"You guessed it a long time ago?" Qin Feng stood beside Jiang Lin, exhausted.
"Guess what?" Jiang Lin raised his eyebrows.
Qin Feng stared into Jiang Lin's eyes, then chuckled, mocking his own naiveté. No matter how capable Jiang Lin was, he couldn't be so predictable.
Everything was just a coincidence. Qin Feng could also imagine that the foreign country would not compromise so easily, so he also asked to wait and see.
However, Jiang Lin thought a little more than Qin Feng. The other party's target was not people from the beginning, but just didn't want them to have a smooth revenge.
"Cousin, you should go and rest quickly, because you have to get up early tomorrow." Qin Xiangnuan noticed that Qin Feng had been in a trance for the past two days, and even felt that Qin Feng would collapse at some point.
What surprised Qin Xiangnuan the most was that since Qin Feng met her, he had not asked a single question about Xue'er.
Qin Feng smiled at Qin Xiangnuan after hearing this, "After all this trouble tonight, I'm not sleepy at all now."
Qin Xiangnuan pursed her lips and said, "Then you should go and clean it up too. Were you burned just now?"
Qin Feng looked down at his clothes. There were holes in them, but the skin underneath was intact.
"Then I'll leave first." Qin Feng looked up and said to Qin Xiangnuan.
Qin Xiangnuan squinted her eyes and looked in the direction Qin Feng left, without looking away for a long time.
Jiang Lin looked in the direction Qin Xiangnuan was looking at curiously and narrowed his eyes as well.
"Nuannuan, what did you see?" Jiang Lin asked.
Qin Xiangnuan shook her head, then looked away, feeling a little strange about Qin Feng's appearance.
"My cousin has been acting strange these past few days." Qin Xiangnuan said casually, "Do you know what happened?"
How did Jiang Lin know this? He shook his head at Qin Xiangnuan.
