Just as Grandma Fang and her companions were escorted back to the capital by carriage by the guards and monks, a group of thugs who had been lurking on the opposite hilltop could no longer hold back. One of them came to the leader and said anxiously, "Boss, the huge rocks and trees on the road were destroyed, and you said there was nothing we could do. Okay, we won't bother with it. But now, even the women of the Marquis of Anping's mansion are trying to escape, and you don't care? Are you just going to watch them flee back to the capital? If the chief knows about this, he will tear us to pieces."
Things were going smoothly at first, but in the end, something unexpected happened. Chen Jing was feeling irritable, and now he heard that even the brothers he had always regarded as brothers were blaming him. He couldn't help but get even more irritated and shouted angrily: "Did I just watch? Do you think I don't want to do things beautifully? But you said, there are only a few people in total, what do you want me to do? Do you think I'm Jiang Ziya, who can turn beans into soldiers and invite heavenly soldiers to help? Liu Erniu, don't just talk, if you have a way, just say it, I'll listen to you."
"Boss, Erniu is also anxious. Our deal makes a lot of money. If we do it well, we can gain the trust of the boss and then we can enter the power of Mingyu Tower. We can walk around the six southern provinces with impunity." The dog-headed military advisor also came over and tried his best to persuade the two bosses.
"Damn it, this is just a ghost. How could there be a loophole in such a good arrangement?" Chen Jing slapped his thigh, his eyes fixed on the group of women who were rushing down the mountain from the back. He suddenly shouted, "Gouzi, Gouzi, come here and see if the old lady, the wife of the Marquis, and the wife of the Crown Prince are among the people going down the mountain? If that's the case, we have no choice but to fight to the death."
"Do I need to see this? Now that they have discovered that things have changed, why don't they rush to escape? There are still two carriages left, enough for the important masters to sit. I said that we should have destroyed all the carriages. It would be best to trap them all in the mountain. You insist on saying that the snipe and the clam quarrel and the fisherman benefits. There are so many servants and monks. What if they are united and difficult to fight? The remaining two carriages can make them divided for the two carriages, and then they may fall by themselves. Now it's good. It helps those women. If we start chasing them, how can we have the advantage of attacking the mountain? What if the prince of Anping Marquis in the capital comes out to help, we will really become the snipe and the clam caught by the fisherman."
Liu Erniu was complaining. Chen Jing got angry and shouted, "Shut up. Even if all the women got into the carriage, no one would be loyal to them. We can kill them when the time comes. Erdan. Count the horses and get ready to go."
"yes"
Someone in the back agreed. Chen Jing discussed with his military advisor Gou Tou and was about to organize his troops to attack and intercept. He heard Gou Zi scream beside him. He turned his head and saw a young man who was puzzled and said, "Boss, there seem to be two people missing from the female relatives. The wife of the prince and the beautiful brothel girl are not here."
"You are ignorant. You only remember a prostitute from a brothel. She was redeemed three years ago." Liu Erniu slapped Gouzi on the head, turned around and looked at Chen Jing, only to see that the boss's face was flushed with anger. She stamped her feet and said angrily, "What are these women doing? Do they have any basic knowledge to escape? With only a prince's wife and a concubine left, do you really think we can't break through that broken temple?"
"Could it be that they were so eager to escape that they abandoned the prince's wife and concubine? After all, the concubine came from a brothel, so it's normal for her to be abandoned at this time." Doghead stroked the goatee on his chin, thinking with an unfathomable look on his face. Judging from his posture, he does have the demeanor of a military strategist, but it's a pity that he looks too ugly. That unbearable face that makes people unable to look at it destroys his superior aura.
Liu Erniu said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? Even if that concubine can be abandoned, what about the prince's wife? It is said that the prince of Anping loves his wife as much as his life and fears her as much as a tiger. If she refuses to stay, who dares to keep her? That's the prince's wife. If she falls into our hands, will the reputation of the Anping Marquis's mansion be preserved?"
"Boss, look at the hillside behind, that's Duan Tingxuan's wife and aunt, they really haven't left."
Gouzi screamed again and pointed at the hillside in the distance. Looking in the direction of his finger, Chen Jing, Liu Erniu and Goutou all widened their eyes.
On the steep hillside, two women stood side by side. They could not see each other's faces, but could see the slender figures with their clothes fluttering in the wind. Behind them was a large group of people, probably maids. The two women looked like fairies who could fly away with the wind at any time.
"Dog, did you see clearly? Could it be that those two women and the girls beside them changed their clothes and put on a show for us?"
Chen Jing asked in a deep voice. Everyone was confused, not understanding why the two women would stay. And if they wanted to stay, they should stay. Shouldn't they be hiding in the room, crying and trembling in fear? Why did they run to the middle of the mountain to pretend to be Chang'e? This courage and calmness seemed to be beyond the description of "stupid and bold".
"Don't worry, Boss. I can tell whether a fly is male or female even if it flies by from a mile away. Those two women are the wife and concubine of the young marquis. It's absolutely true." The young boy patted his chest and assured. Chen Jing was also clear about his eyesight. Otherwise, how could such a young man with no special skills join their elite group, the Dog Slaughter Gang?
"If this wife of the Crown Prince is not crazy, then she must have seen through our purpose, so she deliberately stayed here to let us attack the temple with all our strength, giving the other women in the family a chance to escape."
Chen Jing touched his big bald head and sighed, but heard Liu Erniu sneer: "She is dreaming. No matter how much Duan Tingxuan loves her, can she be more important than the old lady and the Marquis' wife?"
"You wishful thinking." Chen Jing snorted, looking at his second brother beside him and said unhappily, "She is indeed not as important as the women who escaped, but now that you have a choice, do you dare to chase the carriage? Aren't you afraid of being intercepted and killed along the way?"
This question stumped Liu Erniu. He hesitated for a long time before stamping his feet and saying, "Anyway, I listen to the boss. We'll do whatever the boss says."
"Since you have listened to me, then stop talking nonsense. Everyone, get ready. Leave the horses here first, and then we will focus on attacking Pushan Temple. Remember, we only have this night. By tomorrow morning, people from the capital will definitely come. By then, no matter whether the mission is completed or not, we must retreat immediately. If we fall into the hands of the soldiers, you know what to do."
