A few days later, in a restaurant in Xiacun Town.
Five men who looked like traveling merchants were drinking in a private room. Sitting at the head was a big man with a dark face, broad shoulders and jackal eyes, looking quite ferocious.
"What did you find out?"
"Reporting to the Great Vajra Envoy, the West Mountain is heavily guarded, with small groups of scouts constantly patrolling the area within a kilometer radius. Official Fu has been holed up in his West Mountain compound and rarely comes out. It wouldn't be easy to assassinate him... I think we should wait until the Poison-Repelling Vajra Envoy arrives before making any plans."
"snort!……"
This sullen-faced thug turned out to be the Great God King Kong, one of the Eight Vajras under the Yellow River Bandit Gong Shenzhang. His eyes widened, his mouth dropped open, and he shouted, "Why are you becoming more and more timid? Over three hundred of my men have already arrived at Xiacun, and you're telling me to wait! My brother Gong is still waiting in Pingling for me to bring that brat back with me. No, we must act tonight!"
"This... the envoy is unaware that there are many guards in training at the foot of Dai Mountain. The security there is even tighter, so we dare not approach. Furthermore, we received the envoy's message a little late, and we don't know if there are any experts in the West Mountain Villa. If there are experts, if the envoy rushes in rashly and gets entangled by them, the guards at Dai Mountain will have time to return to help, which would be disastrous. Please think twice!"
The Great Vajra God was about to lose his temper when a middle-aged man who looked like a scholar to his right patted his hands and said, "We've just arrived, and they're more familiar with the situation here. I think we shouldn't act rashly. How about this? I'll ask the three of you to explore the West Mountain Villa tonight. The envoy and I will take three hundred warriors to Dai Mountain to take a look. After you gather information, you can meet us on Dai Mountain and then decide whether to wait for the Poison-Repelling Vajra God's envoy. What do you think?"
The Great God King Kong thought about it and nodded in agreement. The other three bandit spies who had fought in the front thought about it and agreed that this was the only way. The three of them clasped their fists and left. Only the Great God King Kong and the scholar were left in the private room.
"Bao'er, this matter is not as simple as you think." The scholar spoke, "Think about it, why would Prince Tuoba Qiu of the Desolate Country ask our brother Gong for such a large sum of money for the head of this Fu Xiaoguan? I have heard of this Fu Xiaoguan's name. He is the one who wrote A Dream of Red Mansions and Song of Water Melody and left his name on thousands of stone tablets. This boy is just a scholar. Is it worth the prince of the desolate country to pay such a large sum of money for his head?"
The black-faced giant Vajra is named Song Dabao, and the middle-aged scholar is an aide to Gong Shenchang, named Liu Sanbian.
"Uncle Sanbian means...this Fu Xiaoguan is not that simple?"
Liu Sanbian nodded. "I heard that the Taoist temple master's closed disciple Su Mo has always been by his side. I haven't heard of any glorious achievements of Su Mo, but I think he is no ordinary person. Of course, he is definitely no match for you. I am worried that he will delay you and then lure the group of guards at the foot of Dai Mountain over here. That would be bad. This move is very cautious. It is related to Brother Gong's grand plan. We can only succeed and not fail. We must succeed once, otherwise it will alert the authorities and it will be even worse. So we still need to be more careful about this matter."
"Then... I'll listen to you and take the brothers to Daishan to take a look tonight."
…
As the sky darkened, Fu Xiaoguan meditated in the courtyard while Su Rou continued embroidering by the stream. Suddenly, she looked up into the distance and turned to Fu Xiaoguan, saying, "Those three thieves are spying outside again. Should we kill them?"
Fu Xiaoguan opened his eyes and laughed. It seemed that the bandits really wanted to attack Xishan.
This is the fifth time they have come here, but because the defense of West Mountain has been strengthened, they can only watch from afar on West Mountain and cannot see anything special.
"How about... please go there? But not to kill them, but to listen to what they are planning. They definitely have accomplices. If we can find out where they are hiding and what they are planning, that would be perfect."
Su Rou frowned. Is it so troublesome?
Well, since this guy is pretty good, I'll go there. Anyway, there is a very awesome senior brother here, so I don't worry about any problems arising here.
So she walked towards the door to the backyard while embroidering flowers. Her body seemed to float up as if it had no weight and disappeared in an instant.
Su Rou quietly came behind the three spies after several ups and downs, hiding in a tree, her hands still embroidering, but her thin eyes slightly opened and looked at the three spies.
"I think there are no more masters in Xishan. Su Mo went to the foot of Daishan Mountain and hasn't come back in such a long time."
"Look again, where is the woman in the yard?"
"I guess he went back to his room... What do you think is the relationship between this Fu Xiaoguan and that woman?"
"This rich young man is really comfortable. He always takes a woman with him when he goes out. What else could they be? He must be a mistress."
Then the other two laughed evilly. Su Rou paused with the embroidery needle in her hand and was about to strike. The three people had no idea that the god of death was right behind them.
"The Great God Vajra Envoy said we'd go to Daishan Mountain tonight. What's there to see there? I still think it's best to wait for the Poison-Repelling Vajra Envoy to arrive before we act together. The Poison-Repelling Vajra Envoy is very good at using poison and can directly knock down the group of people at the foot of Daishan Mountain. This West Mountain Villa will be left for us to plunder!"
"Yeah, I don't know why this Great God King Kong is so anxious. I guess he wants to grab the credit."
"Forget it, forget it. Let's go back. Once we've stormed into this West Mountain Villa, you guys go grab the silver and I'll grab that girl. She's bound to be very beautiful, so don't fight with me."
"San'er, what the hell are you thinking? Is it your turn? I heard that the Great God King Kong Messenger likes this. Do you want to die?"
"Let's go, the patrol is going to pass below again. Don't be careless. If we are discovered, we will all die."
The three of them left this place, went down the mountain from a distance around the mountainside, and headed towards the village below.
Su Rou wondered whether she should go find their lair and destroy them all at once, but then she remembered that Fu Xiaoguan said he needed these bandits to train his troops... What a hassle. She returned to the Xishan Villa in a few steps and told Fu Xiaoguan the news she had heard.
Fu Xiaoguan hadn't informed Bai Yulian. He had already told her that bandits might come. So, if the soldiers at the foot of Dai Mountain unexpectedly encountered bandits, what tactics would they use to deal with them? This was a matter of on-the-spot response ability, and it was also the first test for those new recruits.
He sent someone to inform Yan Xiwen, asking him to set out early the next morning to rush to Xishan to give him a big gift.
