"Keep charging." Commander Li knew that if he didn't charge out, he would die.
But suddenly something was thrown at the entrance.
"Torch..."
Before I could figure out what the torches were for, I saw a fire at the entrance to the crevice. Then, several jars were thrown at me, and the flames shot up high. The man in the front couldn't dodge and his clothes caught fire. He screamed and backed away, and the people behind him retreated in fear, fearing that they would be affected...
Commander Li drew his sword and stabbed him in the throat...
The man fell down, but his body continued to burn.
Commander Li suddenly thought of something.
However, it was too late, the fire from the corpses illuminated their direction.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh…
The sound of arrows breaking through the air was heard. Under normal circumstances, they could have avoided it, but now, the crevice was narrow and rocks were rolling down the mountain, making it impossible to avoid it. Two more people were hit by arrows, so Commander Li simply pulled them over to block the arrows.
However, the rocks from the mountain still fell down...
Zhuang Yan stared blankly at everything in front of him, his mouth open and not closing for a long time.
Suddenly someone patted him.
He screamed in panic.
"ah…"
When I turned around, I saw a human face...
A familiar face.
Su Zhuo smiled and said, "Young Master Zhuang, you've come back to your senses..."
Zhuang Yan gasped for breath. He had never felt that Su Zhuo was so pleasing to the eye.
Zhuang Er was also pulled up.
The two brothers looked at the entrance to the crevice like fools.
There were flames shooting up into the sky.
At first I could still see a few people, but later there was none left.
Until the fire is small and the entrance is open.
Su Zhuo ran over with a knife.
A large net covered several people, and then they were beaten with sticks. Zhuang Yan felt pain just watching...
"They...they..." Zhuang Yan was speechless.
He saw several people dragging out a net, inside which was the half-dead Commander Li and several of his men.
"I'm still breathing." Su Zhuo wiped the sweat from his face.
Only then did Chen Yan come out from the darkness.
He looked at the two sons of the Zhuang family. Zhuang Er was speechless and looked at Chen Yan nervously, afraid that Chen Yan would kill them to silence them.
But Chen Yan didn't. He said to Su Zhuo, "Take the two young masters of Zhuang to the carriage to rest."
Su Zhuo took the two people away.
Zhuang Yan glanced back and saw Chen Yan and a few other men standing before Commander Li. In the dim firelight, they looked like a few slender ghostly shadows...
The day finally dawned.
When Zhuang Yan woke up, he was already on the carriage returning to the city.
The second son of Zhuang remained silent, lowering his head, looking embarrassed and decadent...
"Chen Yan...they..." Thinking of what he saw yesterday, Zhuang Yan felt terrified.
Is Chen Yan crazy? Why is he so bold?
He led his men to kill Commander Li!
Zhuang Er spoke up, "Remember, we haven't met Commander Li and his men, nor have we met any bandits. You were taken to the ruined temple by another group of bandits. Later, the bandits started fighting among themselves, and you and Shi Xiaowu escaped together. Do you understand?"
Zhuang Yan was stunned and wanted to ask something, but when he saw his second brother's ugly face, he shut up.
After returning to the city, the second son of Zhuang went to find the eldest son of Zhuang and told him the details of what had happened.
Boss Zhuang's face darkened. "Although this seems flawless, there are still loopholes. If it's discovered, we won't be able to take the responsibility."
Zhuang Er frowned. "If we chase them now, maybe we can still find them..."
Of course he knew that he was being used as a tool.
Same as Fulai Inn.
Everyone is his chess piece.
Everyone!!!
Now, Hangu City is in chaos. Commander Li of the Northwest Army and his son are dead, and the Qingfeng Mountain bandits are all wiped out. Chen Yan avenged his brother and got the bandits' silver...
They've taken all the benefits, while the banker has been busy all day, almost losing his life yesterday, but has nothing to show for it except taking the blame...
Nothing!!!
Zhuang Er survived the disaster, but was extremely angry.
"I'll take people to catch him now." The usually steady Second Master Zhuang also lost his composure.
Boss Zhuang shook his head: "Don't forget, father hasn't been found yet."
Zhuang Er paused.
Yes, this matter has nothing to do with his father. Where did his father go?
I didn't think much about it when it happened, but now I think...
"Dad was taken hostage by Chen Yan?" Zhuang Er was furious.
Boss Zhuang nodded, and he thought of someone.
This person lived in his house, could contact his family without arousing suspicion, could drug his father and knock him unconscious without a doubt, could take his father away from the banker's house, and leave right under their noses...
"Su Wei!!!" Zhuang Er gritted his teeth.
It’s Su Wei!!!
Boss Zhuang nodded.
He remembered that pretty and well-behaved face.
I remembered Chen Yan saying that he was worried about Su Wei being alone outside so he sent her to stay at the Zhuang family for a few days...
They thought Su Wei came to the banker's house as a hostage, and naturally put her in the position of weakness...
This woman had always been obedient and looked extremely insignificant. She looked so frail that people subconsciously thought she was a useless vase, an insignificant person, and ignored her...
In fact, she is Chen Yan's woman.
Could she be a simple character?
Zhuang Er exhaled.
I didn't even have the energy to argue with Shen Yan.
“Poor mountains and bad waters breed unruly people.” Zhuang Er sighed, “That’s absolutely true.”
Young Master Zhuang said, "Now let's think about how to cover this up. This isn't the Fulai Inn, and it's not easy to fool the Northwest Army."
