These dozen or so guards were indeed highly skilled, but when faced with an enemy several times their number, they were no match for them.
Moreover, Ning Ye's men were already far superior to those so-called elites, so Chu Yuesheng naturally did not expect to be able to defeat Ning Ye by relying on his own men.
But even a fleeting moment was enough. The guard who had been protecting Chu Yuesheng grabbed Chu Yuesheng's hand and began to dash through the crowd.
This person's agility was quite superb. Even amidst the chaos of battle, he remained calm and composed, leading Chu Yuesheng in a series of charge attacks, and they were about to break through the encirclement.
Seeing this, Ning Ye naturally couldn't let the other party leave easily. These dozen or so guards were loyal and held Ning Ye back.
Even so, what can we do?
These people were no match for Ning Ye, and he easily headed straight for the strategist.
Just then, the guard who had been running forward suddenly turned around and threw out more than a dozen dark objects, forcing Ning Ye to stop and dodge.
In that instant, the other party completely broke free from Ning Ye.
Seeing that you have no chance of catching up with the opponent, Ning Ye had no choice but to give up, but the results achieved tonight were enough.
After all, Ning Ye didn't just target this strategist; he also sent Xiao Qing with a team to their supplies.
Although the torrential rain made it impossible to start a fire, adding some ingredients was still possible. Whatever it was, the other party would never dare to use it if they weren't sure beforehand.
After Ning Ye and the others left, all that was left was a mess. Before, there were still a few people left, but now there were no casualties at all, which shows just how useful the grenade was.
Chu Junbao didn't show much reaction to this failure, but instead ordered people to investigate what caused the problem.
But even if you investigate, what can you possibly find out?
After the grenade explodes, all you can find are small steel balls.
Looking at the small steel balls his subordinates had gathered, Chu Junbao really couldn't figure out what kind of opponent he was facing.
"Strategist, let's ask for reinforcements. I don't think we can defeat them with our current numbers."
Chu Yuesheng nodded and said, "Judging from the situation last night, if the other side has a lot of these things, then we will have no chance of taking Qingyuan County. But I think these things must be limited, otherwise they should have brought them out long ago."
Chu Junbao naturally believed in this theory, and had no choice but to believe it, because he simply could not accept that the other party possessed a considerable and terrifying array of weapons.
As for abandoning Chu Junbao and Chu Yuesheng, they never even considered it. After all, things had reached a point where there was no way to back down. If they really retreated, they would never come back to Qingyuan County again.
Back at the mansion, Ning Ye still felt a pang of heartache. After all, throwing away so many things at once would be painful for anyone.
However, the effect must have been quite significant, which provided some comfort to Ning Ye, otherwise he would have been in excruciating pain.
Just as Ning Ye was considering what to do next, Wang Wu arrived. "My lord, there's something I don't know if I should tell you, but I think it's very important."
"Alright, you've gotten quite the art of using fancy words now. Just say what you have to say. I have other things to think about right now, so don't waste my time."
"It's like this, young master. Some time ago, the third brother sent someone back with a secret letter. The letter said that the general has a daughter who is currently with him. It is said that she has something to ask you, but we don't know what it is yet."
Ning Ye asked with some doubt, "Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"
Wang Wu nodded seriously and said, "That's right, that's what the letter said. I'm also curious about what relationship that young lady could have with you, young master."
Ning Ye frowned. He was absolutely certain that he had no connection with that young lady whatsoever. Since she wanted to find him, he might as well give her a chance. What difference would it make if he brought a weak woman with him?
"You can send a message to Lao Hu and tell him to bring it over. No matter what it is, I won't blame him."
"Since you put it that way, then I will tell him so. But if something really happens, are you sure you'll be alright?"
Ning Ye said irritably, "I've never even left Qingyuan County. I've traveled more roads than you have. How could I possibly know that so-called 'Miss'? Are you out of your mind?"
Wang Wu scratched his head and said, "As a subordinate, I naturally have to ask more questions. It wouldn't be good if something embarrassing happened."
"Get lost. Use your little tricks elsewhere. Get back to what you're doing and stop spouting nonsense, or I'll have to deal with you in a bit."
Wang Wu chuckled and said, "No, young master is only thinking of you. How can you blame me? Since you don't want to hear it, then I won't say anything more."
Wang Wu naturally dared not say anything more. If he dared to say another word, Ning Ye would kick him.
Meanwhile, Hu Laosan was indeed still taking Miss Lin sightseeing, and he didn't seem to find it boring at all. However, he dared not take her there until he received Ning Ye's reply.
He really couldn't understand how Lin Ruxin could be so energetic in such hot weather.
"Miss Lin, we've been at a stalemate for several days now. Can't you really give in a little?"
Lin Ruxin fiddled with a jade pendant and said, "It's related. I know you're waiting for news, and I think it shouldn't be too long. Don't worry."
Hu Laosan said with some surprise, "How did Miss Lin know I was waiting for news?"
"Your ears have always been quite sensitive, so you might not be able to hide anything from me from what you've been up to."
Old Hu sighed and said, "My young master is a good man. If Miss Lin has any ill intentions, I advise you to completely abandon them. Otherwise, even if it costs me my life, I will never let you go."
Lin Ruxin said with some surprise, "I never thought that Ning Ye would be so important to you."
