Chapter 392 391 Setting fire and making trouble,

Fang Qingping changed her usual taciturn manner and patted her chest, "As long as it is your order, I will do everything I can."

When she was working as a yamen runner, she knew that An Xin was the female official who was exiled from the capital. At the beginning, she was abducted to the mountain by An Xin and his men and asked them if they were willing to work with her.

At that time, they had their own things to do, and no one knew how An Xin knew that this group of people were mixed up in the government office, secretly resisting the violent and cruel Xin County Magistrate who oppressed the people.

By some strange coincidence, she discovered that she was a woman and the daughter of the former garrison commander of Lingnan. She seemed to have vaguely guessed what had happened in the Fang family that year.

The keen insight makes me admire.

Now let's not talk about An Xin asking her to ambush here and ambush the bandits who are heading to Yuechengling between the three mountains. Even if she was ordered to charge into battle and attack head-on, she would gladly accept the order.

An Xin: "Okay, then you stay here..."

Zhang Qingping and Liu Yawen were both people left to Fang Qingping by her father. They both saw that An Xin's exile to Lingnan was not simple. Now that they saw Fang Qingping being valued by her, they were happy for their young lady.

It’s just a little strange how An Xin knew that when the bandits on other peaks were attacked by them, the bandits on the other two peaks would go to help instead of standing idly by.

Because they were too curious, they also asked.

Fang Qingping and everyone else looked at An Xin in confusion, and they didn't understand why she was so sure.

An Xin glanced at them meaningfully and said calmly, "Will those bandits go to rescue us? You will know when the time comes."

Let Fang Qingping and his two hundred men ambush here.

An Xin left with the last hundred or so elite soldiers, and walked lightly all the way to Yuecheng Ridge, which was sandwiched between Qitian Ridge and Dupang Mountain.

Seeing that the distance was about the same, An Xin raised his hand and asked everyone to stop. If they went any further, they would be discovered by the people on the mountain.

"You guys wait here, I'll take ten people to go up there and do some trouble," An Xin said calmly, very seriously, "There are only three or four hundred bandits on a mountain, you guys can take advantage of the chaos to attack them, cartilage acid will have some effect on them, we need to make a quick decision."

"Yes, sir." Several elite leaders bowed and accepted the order.

These elite troops privately raised by Emperor Sheng'an in the suburbs were still very confident in killing these bandits. They had also heard of this female official who was quite trusted by the emperor, and everyone still listened to her deployment and arrangements.

An Xin took ten elite soldiers and sneaked into the bandit’s lair.

Looking at the empty, defenseless bandit stronghold.

An Xin felt more confident that the two bandits nearby would come to rescue him.

Animals can sleep soundly only if they have no natural enemies.

The natural enemies of the bandits are the government and the local fiefdom lord, King Liang.

Now seeing that there wasn't even a single person on guard here, An Xin curled the corners of his mouth. Even a fool could guess the situation here.

These bandits or people disguised as bandits, I wonder who is the mastermind behind them.

They have the same master. If this side is attacked, why won’t the people on the nearby hill come to support? Aren’t they afraid of being punished by their master behind the scenes?

All of An Xin's guesses were verified.

An elite soldier received An Xin's instructions and set fire to the most influential and best wooden house in the village, which should be where the leader lived.

An Xin was not afraid that the fire would burn all the trees on the mountain, because the bandits would cut down the surrounding trees when building the stronghold and separate it with high walls made of earth.

In ancient times, open flames were used for lighting and cooking. They knew more about fire prevention in the mountains than modern people do.

Besides, An Xin didn't really want to burn these people to death.

However, if we make some noise, the bandits in the two nearby mountains will hear and see that we are being attacked. Only in this way can An Xin's plan of ambush and wait for the enemy to tire out succeed.

An Xin only ordered four or five of the hundreds of wooden houses in the village.

As the fire grew, it finally alarmed the people inside.

"ah!!"

"The fire broke out. The fire broke out."

"What the hell, how could the house catch fire so late at night?"

After finishing the job, An Xin and his gang went into hiding.

They said that it had little to do with them, they really just threw a little fire on the eaves, as for how it caught fire, "..." maybe it was the wind's fault.

The crackling flames instantly turned a dozen or so wooden houses next to each other into a sea of ​​fire.

The screams and noises of people running out of the cabin echoed in the silent night air, scaring away an owl in the nearby woods.

At this time, the fire illuminated the night sky red, and the bandits in Yuechengling were in chaos with screams and curses because of the sudden fire.

On a dark night, nothing could be more eye-catching than a fire.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

The fire set by An Xin and his men also caused people on the other two peaks who were up at night, or bandits who were awake because of some nighttime activities, to discover the abnormality here.

The first bandit leader who was set on fire and almost burned into a roasted pig in the house ran out with his strong body and directed people to put out the fire while cursing.

But there was only a gurgling spring on the mountain, which made it inconvenient to put out the fire.

An Xin wanted to lure the people on the nearby mountain into his trap, but he didn't really want to set fire to the mountain.

The reason why they chose to set fire to the bandit leader's place was because there were few wooden houses nearby, and even if the fire was not put out, it would not burn for long.

The elite soldiers below heard the sound of a bird chirping transmitted by An Xin and his men.

When I saw the flames rising into the sky from the mountain stronghold and heard the chaotic noises coming from above, I knew that things had become chaotic just as An Xin had said.

One hundred elite soldiers were hiding in the mountains not far from the stronghold. After receiving the instructions, they rushed up the mountain at a very fast speed.

“Kill! Kill!”

Having undergone special training, they were like human meat grinders to these panicked bandits who ran over without weapons, splashing blood wherever they went, reaping the fruits of their labor as they reaped the fruits of these bandits who in the past had come down the mountain to rob and did not regard the lives of the common people as human lives.

“Ah…ah…”

"Ah!!" The screams spread throughout the wilderness and mountains.

An Xin narrowed his eyes when he saw the bandits react and run into the house to take out weapons, which turned out to be the same broadsword.

Damn, most of the people behind the scenes don’t take the imperial court seriously.

Look at which bandit’s weapons are all swords and knives forged in the same way.

Just by looking at it, An Xin didn't even need to guess that the man not only used these blatant bandits to rob the people of their food but also raised private soldiers.

At the same time, he also guessed that there must be iron mines in Lingnan. Although these swords were not well-made, they were not something that a group of bandits could easily own.

"It's you."

The bandit leader, with a ferocious face, covered his arm that was chopped and bleeding. Perhaps he was frightened by the killing ruthlessness of this group of elite soldiers and was about to hide at the foot of the hill and wait for rescue.

He saw An Xin coming towards him again with a smile on her lips but a cold and indifferent look in her eyes.
