Xiao Yunzhan frowned and looked towards the foot of the mountain.
How strange!
There were some people lying in ambush sparsely at the foot of the mountain.
The distance between the two men was at least three meters, and these people did not use bows and arrows, and they did not even have swords. They all lay lazily on the ground or on the branches of trees.
According to Emperor Wu of Liang's temperament, if he didn't arrange thousands of people to ambush him, he would at least arrange three or four hundred people to guard the foot of the mountain.
Adding those imperial guards who had chased them on the mountain before, there couldn’t be only these few people.
Could it be a trick?
Are there people lying in ambush nearby?
Xiao Yunzhan observed carefully, then turned to look at his family and said,
"You guys walk slowly, I'll go ahead and explore first."
"Second sister-in-law, Yiran, hold your swords. Be careful of an ambush nearby."
Xiao Yunzhan looked at the family dressed in colorful clothes, his brows furrowed, his eyes full of worry.
Especially his bright green outfit is particularly eye-catching against the withered and yellow hillside.
His eyesight allowed him to clearly see what was happening at the foot of the mountain, and the people at the foot of the mountain could see his family even more clearly.
Such a striking color, anyone with normal vision can see it.
Lin Yiran glanced around and pointed at several imperial guards walking up the mountain.
"Look, someone is coming up, everyone be careful."
There are only five imperial guards here, who are you looking down on?
Lin Yiran looked at the sparse guards at the foot of the mountain, curled the corners of her mouth slightly, and walked to the side of the road.
"Second sister-in-law, all of you squat down and hold the clay pots carefully. I'll show you my skills."
Don’t think she can’t see you if you hide in the trees or in the grass. She can easily take care of five of them.
"Don't worry, Fourth Sister-in-law, the pottery pot is here, and I'm not here... There's no way I won't be here!"
The second sister-in-law squatted on the ground, protecting two clay pots with her hands, looking at Lin Yiran with bright eyes.
Nothing must happen to these two pottery jars, otherwise it will be difficult for my fourth brother and his wife to make something out of it.
Besides, with my fourth brother’s wife around, how could anything happen to her? There is no one that even a god cannot protect.
"Of course, be careful." Old Madam Xiao warned and pulled the two children to sit around the pottery jar.
If they can't help, then just be obedient and don't cause trouble.
"Fourth sister-in-law, be careful." The eldest and third sisters-in-law also gave a warning and sat together around the pottery jar.
Xiao Yunzhan, who was just about to go down to fight the five imperial guards, stopped and looked at Lin Yiran with a puzzled look.
Using a sleeve arrow at such a long distance might not be powerful enough.
The first thing Xiao Yunzhan thought of was the hidden arrow that Lin Yiran had used several times before.
Lin Yiran turned around and grinned at her family, then turned and walked towards a big rock.
"Hey!"
Lin Yiran gritted her teeth, lifted up a large rock that was as tall as a man and as long as a man, and pushed it down the mountain with all her strength.
"Gudong~Gudongdong..."
A huge rock weighing thousands of pounds rolled down the mountain quickly.
The women of the Xiao family looked at the big rock rolling faster and faster, and all looked at Lin Yiran with admiration and gave her a thumbs up.
Lin Yiran grinned proudly, clapped her hands and continued to look for a rounder rock to push down the mountain.
Seeing this, Xiao Yunzhan looked to the other side of the mountain road, casually put his sword on his waist, and imitated Lin Yiran to push the stone down the mountain.
The people hiding at the foot of the mountain cannot shoot them with bows and arrows at this distance.
Xiao Yunzhan picked up a slightly larger stone, put his hands on the stone, his face flushed red, and his back teeth were almost broken.
“Crunch, crunch~”
The huge stone finally shook slightly twice, and the side that was stuck to the ground gradually left the ground.
Xiao Yunzhan roared and used all his strength to finally push the big rock down.
“Huh~”
Looking at the big rock rolling down, Xiao Yunzhan breathed a sigh of relief.
He pursed his lips and looked at his family members for praise.
As a result, Lin Yiran was seen holding a huge round stone and walking to the middle of the road, pushing it hard towards the people walking up the mountain.
Xiao Yunzhan looked at the stone rolling down and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times.
It's so big that he can't hold it.
............
"Brother Jiang, a lot of huge rocks suddenly rolled down from the mountain."
The scout ran up to Jiang Xu in a panic, pointing at the big rock still rolling down the mountain and shouted.
He saw with his own eyes that the little purple man gently pushed the big rock, and the rock rolled down.
Has this foreigner become so powerful?
Jiang Xu opened his mouth wide, looked up at the boulder rolling down, and his eyes gradually became dull.
He really couldn't believe that one person could push such a huge rock.
The jumping little purple man was like a god, and whichever stone he touched would roll down.
Seeing that the stone was about to roll to the foot of the mountain, Jiang Xu shouted at the top of his voice,
“Run!!”
The stunned imperial guards who were squatting at the foot of the mountain suddenly reacted, crawled away from the foot of the mountain, and ran away desperately.
Lin Yiran looked at the imperial guards who suddenly ran out from the foot of the mountain, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
He still knew how to run, and the other side withdrew a group of palace guards.
Lin Yiran raised her eyebrows and continued to roll the stone down the mountain. She wanted to blow away all the imperial guards who were ambushing at the foot of the mountain.
With Xiao Yunzhan's ability, it should be no problem for him to deal with such a small number of imperial guards.
She just had to make sure there was no ambush at the foot of the mountain to avoid a sneak attack on them.
...........
Old Lady Niu drove a carriage with her two concubines, staggering towards the foot of the mountain.
Suddenly, she saw people dressed in the uniforms of the Imperial Guards rushing out one after another from the foot of the mountain. She was so scared that she immediately pulled the reins.
Oh no, could it be that these people are here to arrest her?
She is just an insignificant old woman. Is it necessary to send so many imperial guards to capture her?
Besides, there is no need to wait halfway to catch her. We can just go to the village and catch her directly. That way, we can catch her right away.
After thinking things over, Mrs. Niu immediately concluded that these people were not here to arrest her.
"Madam, they are here to arrest..." Cuixiang, who was sitting next to Madam Niu, saw the palace guards trembling with fear.
"Shut up!" Old Madam Niu glared at Cuixiang fiercely.
"Shut up, everyone! The three of us aren't worthy of the imperial court sending so many imperial guards to arrest us. Use some brains."
The Imperial Guards don't arrest just anyone; it's enough to send some officers to arrest them.
It takes so many imperial guards to capture the Xiao family members, because Xiao Yunzhan is so good at martial arts.
Lu Zhu, who was squatting behind Old Lady Niu, was shocked when she saw the imperial guards. She quickly retreated into the carriage and closed the curtain with trembling hands.
She is a fugitive now, and she will instinctively be afraid when she sees those officials.
Cuixiang swallowed nervously, her legs so weak that she couldn't get up.
She took two deep breaths, lowered her eyelids, shrank her head, and sat beside Old Lady Niu, trembling all over.
