"Are you trying to find out about the Yan family?"
Su Rou sat opposite Fu Xiaoguan, without raising her eyes, still embroidering stitch by stitch.
"Tell me... there are so many wealthy businessmen in Linjiang, why did they choose to set their sights on my West Mountain? If they wanted to steal grain, I could understand, but it's obvious they weren't. There's not much silver in West Mountain, so why would two of the Eight Vajras come here?"
"Besides, the defenses of the wealthy families in Linjiang are much worse than my place. I thought they would give up and leave after taking a look, but I never thought they would set their sights on my place. So, their goal is not to rob money, but to kill me."
"I still don't know who exactly wants to kill me, but to make these two so-called King Kong run so far to kill me, this is something that not everyone can do. There are not many people in the court who can talk to Master Gong. I don't know what they offer in exchange for my life, but it's nothing more than silver, weapons, or... surrender. These people are bandits. If I die, it will be at the hands of bandits, without any loopholes. If Master Gong is willing to surrender, he will become an official of the court."
"I just want to ask Yan Xiwen to come and see whether he likes this great achievement... or not?"
Su Rou glanced at Fu Xiaoguan. He was so young, but he had so many thoughts. Wasn't he tired of living?
"Are you overthinking this?"
"I hope so. My hair has been falling out quite a lot lately. I'll have to ask Chunxiu to make some chicken soup with Polygonum multiflorum tomorrow."
…
At the foot of Dai Mountain, more than 2,000 soldiers on the training ground were wearing the latest combat uniforms, carrying four types of weapons, and carrying large bags weighing 40 kilograms, standing in neat rows in the night.
Bai Yulian and Su Mo stood at the front of the team, under the dim light, scanning everyone with solemn eyes.
"Night training... Let's go!"
Following Bai Yulian's order, Chen Po took the lead and led the team towards Daishan.
Standing far away on Mount Dai, the Great God King Kong Song Dabao and his three hundred followers watched in astonishment. He turned to Liu Sanbian and asked, "What... are you doing?"
Liu Sanbian didn't know either. He frowned and asked, "Are we exposed?"
"That's not right. They're not running in our direction."
"Let's take a look first, I'm afraid there's something fishy going on."
Su Mo was leading the end of the team. They had no idea that a group of people were watching them on Dai Mountain. As usual, they ran up Dai Mountain. The lights were off and it was pitch black everywhere. There was only the sound of messy footsteps and the friction of people passing through the woods.
Chen Po received Bai Yulian's instructions not to follow the original route tonight, so he changed his route.
This path just led to where Song Dabao was. Song Dabao listened carefully and heard the sound of footsteps. "They are coming towards us."
Liu Sanbian was shocked. He didn't know when the news leaked out to his people. Now he was in trouble.
"Let's retreat first."
"No fight?"
"How can we fight? With so many people, one guy can easily surround us."
Song Dabao turned around and gave an order, and a group of people retreated down the mountain.
After an incense stick of time, the new recruits led by Chen Po passed by the place where Song Dabao and others had been hiding. He didn't know that anyone had been hiding there, so the long team just ran past.
Song Dabao, who was standing at the foot of the mountain, was confused. Why was this guy running around in the middle of the night when he couldn't sleep?
He looked at Liu Sanbian, and Liu Sanbian glared at him. Even though he was known as a wise man around the official, he was no different from Song Dabao at this moment.
The footsteps grew farther and farther away, and then could no longer be heard.
"How about we go up and take another look?"
Liu Sanbian thought for a moment and said, "Okay, it seems they don't know we are here."
So Song Dabao took another three hundred men up the mountain. After about two hours, the lights in the camp below were lit up. Looking around, it seemed that those people had all run back.
Patrolling the mountains?
Who is your king?
This is such a psychopath!
Song Dabao was puzzled, and then he saw the group of people below disperse and return to the barracks. After an incense stick of time, all the lights in the entire camp were turned off. They were probably going to sleep.
"How about we go and rob his camp?" Song Dabao was about to make a move, but Liu Sanbian quickly stopped him. "Don't delay the important task. Wait a little longer. At midnight, we'll bypass this place and head straight to the West Mountain Courtyard. We'll take the head from Fu Xiaoguan's neck and leave immediately. Don't linger in the battle."
"All right."
Song Dabao sat down on the ground, put the iron mace on his legs, took out a roast chicken from his arms, and started eating while drinking.
In the blink of an eye, it was already midnight. He wiped his greasy mouth, raised his mace and waved his hand, "Let's go!"
He hadn't taken two steps when a sharp whistle suddenly sounded in the camp below. Startled, he shouted "Stop!" and looked down.
After a few whistles, the camp was brightly lit again, and then many people were seen running out of the camp and quickly gathered together.
"...No, Uncle Sanbian, do you think they discovered us or not?"
Is this a fucking lie?
Liu Sanbian took a deep breath and shook his head: "They definitely didn't notice us. If they knew we were here, why didn't they just rush towards us?"
Song Dabao scratched his head, "What if they're playing tricks on us?"
Not so boring!
"Let's go down the mountain from the other side and ignore them. Business is more important. Just leave a few brothers here to monitor their movements."
We can't keep struggling like this. If we continue to be led around by these lunatics, the day will come.
Song Dabao thought about it and realized that this was the truth, so he took a group of people and went down from the south.
The lights in the camp went out again. Chen Po led this group of new recruits to start night raid training. They quietly moved to the south of Daishan and ambushed there.
This is one of the night training subjects. Tonight is no different from the previous ones. These soldiers have adapted to emergency assembly and fighting.
They were like cheetahs, crawling in groups of five in the night and quietly moving forward.
Fu Xiaoguan explained to Bai Yulian that this type of operation would occur frequently, typically targeting castles or enemy camps. It required both patience and resilience. Because the targets were often far away, soldiers needed to approach them without being detected by the enemy, allowing them to launch surprise attacks.
Bai Yulian firmly implemented Fu Xiaoguan's idea, because he had rehearsed it several times in his mind. It was feasible, but also very dangerous.
Now Chen Po is in the front and Su Mo is behind him.
Suddenly, Su Mo heard footsteps coming from the mountain. He made a quick gesture, which reached the last column.
All the soldiers changed their body orientation the moment they received this gesture, they took out their bows and put arrows on them.
