Without hesitation, Lu Baichuan replied, "Sure."
Although he didn't bring much medicine powder with him this time, he was given other things that his wife had told him to bring, and each of them would be very useful.
As he spoke, he released the pigeon in his hand, watching it fly away, only hoping that the pigeon would be brave enough to avoid being snatched by an eagle halfway.
Let's go.
Lu Baichuan packed up his things and headed straight for the bandits' hideout on the mountain. Qin Jian quickly followed, eager to make a big splash tonight.
He licked his lips, still feeling somewhat worried.
After getting married, he had more to worry about. Tonight's plan had to succeed, otherwise what would happen to his newlywed wife?
The two quickly went up the mountain, found a relatively safe place to wait for nightfall, and kept an eye on the people's situation with their telescopic vision.
So far, I haven't seen any women killed, but being bullied is inevitable.
"Those bastards!"
Qin Jian cursed indignantly. If these people had always been bandits and caused trouble, that would be one thing, but these people used to serve in the army.
In any case, even if Xun Wang wanted to seize the throne, he wouldn't let his subordinates go too far, otherwise he would offend the people and lose their support, and his great cause would be ruined.
Yet there are still these people who, after becoming outlaws, target ordinary people as their first target.
"Stop watching, get some rest, or you won't have any energy tonight."
Lu Baichuan lay on the lawn, sounding drowsy.
Qin Jian was truly impressed by his calm and unhurried demeanor.
To be able to sleep even in this condition, one has to admit that one's mental fortitude is truly remarkable.
However, Qin Jian soon lay down as well, forcing himself to sleep even though he couldn't.
After waking up, it was almost time. Most of the bandits were asleep, leaving only a few on night watch. They were quite lazy and gathered together to compare sizes.
To avoid making a scene, Lu Baichuan took out a highly poisonous powder and knocked everyone out.
These people deserved to die; they deserve no mercy.
"Go find the woman who is being held captive first, I'll go check on the situation."
Lu Baichuan whispered instructions to Qin Jian, who nodded.
After observing with his telescope for an entire afternoon, he roughly knew where the women were being held. Except for a few who were taken out to keep company, they were all locked up together.
Once Lu Baichuan was sure he was gone, he went straight to the bandit leader's house.
To catch the thief, first catch the king. That's how he got through Nantai back then. And now, with the weapons and medicine his wife provided, his chances of winning are even greater.
The things his wife gave him were too advanced; even Qin Jian couldn't let him know about them.
He slipped into the shadows and walked through the village by the moonlight.
The deafening snores all around him were just enough to mask the small noises he made as he moved around.
The faint sound of a woman's suppressed sobs could be heard. The bandits seemed to be used to it, so they didn't mind and slept peacefully.
Nowadays, there are very few women in the village, but many bandits. Basically, only those of high status are qualified. Therefore, if you hear a woman crying in a house, the bandit inside must be of a high status.
Lu Baichuan first identified several houses where women were crying, which meant they were still awake. He couldn't let them see him take action.
He went up to the roof and sprinkled some sleeping pills inside.
Because the quantity is so small, it can only be used sparingly, with only a little bit in each room.
But it was enough to make these defenseless women faint temporarily.
That short time was enough for him to get moving.
He pushed open the door, swiftly killed the man with a swift stroke of his knife, and then quickly moved on to the next room.
I don't know exactly how many leaders there are, but there aren't many. Once the others have lost their leader, things will be easier.
He moved swiftly, not even keeping Qin Jian waiting for long, and quickly went out, then took out a tinderbox and set a fire.
"We've found their place, but it's inconvenient to take them down the mountain right now. Let's go back and discuss it... Holy crap? Why are you covered in blood? What were you doing carrying me?"
We agreed beforehand that we shouldn't act rashly tonight, but only sneak in to check the situation before discussing a strategy.
When he came in, Lu Baichuan tricked him into finding someone, and he actually believed him. He never expected that this guy would do the job behind his back!
And the raging fire must have been the bandits' granary. He didn't even have time to be shocked before he ran away without saying a word.
With the fire so large, so many people in the village will find it soon, and even if the two of them are incredibly skilled, they won't be able to escape.
"Fire!"
Some people were awakened and saw a fire. They rushed to put it out, while others woke up to find water.
The weather was dry during this period, and it was indeed easy for fires to start on the mountain. No one even suspected that someone had done it intentionally.
Then came several screams from women: "Murder! Help!"
People came running at the sound and found that their leader's head had been cut off and was placed on the table.
Only then did they realize that someone had ambushed them!
"Be on guard! Someone has entered the village!"
That being said, many people are already panicking. With the leaders gone, what can these lowly underlings do?
Qin Jian and Lu Baichuan had already left the village and were safe, but Lu Baichuan suddenly pulled out a whistle and blew it hard, immediately revealing their location.
A few people stayed behind to put out the fire, while the others grabbed their weapons and rushed out to chase after the people.
"Holy crap! What are you doing?"
Qin Jian was stunned and couldn't understand what kind of crazy move Lu Baichuan was making.
He considered himself to be quite similar to Lu Baichuan, but he really hadn't expected what happened tonight. There were so many people on the other side; it was far too risky.
"Stop talking nonsense, run!"
Lu Baichuan grabbed him and ran forward with his head down, but he was afraid that he was running too fast and the other party would not be able to catch up, so he had to stop and wait for them.
The bandits were furious, never imagining they would be made fools of.
"stop!"
The people chasing behind were almost out of breath and wanted to give up, but then they thought that they had already caught up to this point, and giving up would not be worth it, so they had no choice but to continue chasing.
As it turned out, Lu Baichuan and his group did manage to get there, but they somehow anticipated something, and suddenly an explosion occurred on the ground, sending them flying.
Fortunately, by sheer coincidence, it flew into a pit that was five or six meters deep.
This was a pit that Lu Baichuan had dug in advance, just so it could be used at this moment.
With the first group of people blown up, the rest dared not act rashly. Lu Baichuan gave the order: "Go!"
A dozen or so guards emerged from the woods and engaged in combat with the pursuing band of thieves.
These people had taken a long detour through the mountains and were exhausted. Although there were many of them, they were not very strong in their ability to resist. The guards had a hard time dealing with them, but it was not too difficult.
Qin Jian then realized what he was planning, silently said "6", and joined the battle with his sword.
