Forcing back tears, he took a deep breath before continuing, "Then I will make sure your entire Zhao family pays with their lives!"
After saying that, he helped the old lady continue walking towards Doctor Wang's house!
Zhao Bing's wife was initially bewildered when she received the slap from the old lady.
I don't know why the old lady hit her.
Until Wen's kick later...
She finally understood.
Something happened to Tian's little Guoguo, and it's related to Zhao Bing.
Zhao Bing's wife panicked immediately.
She's just a woman, and when her husband gets into trouble, all she can do is seek help. But the only person who can help her is implicated by Zhao Bing... What should she do?
Tears welled up instantly, and she hurriedly knelt down and crawled to Wang Youcai for help.
"Village head, village head, I beg you, I beg you, you must save my Zhao Bing, I beg you, I beg you."
He kept kowtowing as he spoke.
Wang Youcai quickly helped her up and explained that it wasn't that he didn't want to help, but that he had no other choice.
Zhao Bing's wife didn't want to give up.
No matter how Wang Youcai tried to pull her up, she wouldn't get up. Having no other choice, Wang Youcai took her to Yang Qiuci's house for help.
Both the Tian and Zhao families were extremely anxious.
Meanwhile, on General Cui's side...
The guard who continued to track the man in black left marks along the way, and General Cui led his guards to follow the marks.
The man in black went deep into the mountains.
General Cui didn't even hesitate before chasing after them.
Yang Zhao hurriedly stopped him, "General, there are large wild beasts such as hungry wolves in the deep mountains. It would be dangerous for us to go there rashly!"
He wasn't preventing General Cui from entering the mountains, but rather needed to make some preparations first.
General Cui, reminded of this, also remembered it.
They all had knives, but if they encountered a large group of wild beasts, knives alone were simply not enough.
Therefore, it is best to have arrows that can be shot at long distances.
General Cui looked around. There were some dry branches nearby that could be used to make arrows, but there was no bow.
Just as he was thinking about what to use to make the bow…
Xie Shuyan suddenly appeared.
Xie Shuyan, holding a handful of pebbles in his left hand and a slingshot in his right, stuffed them into General Cui's arms. The border guard also explained:
"This pebble will catch fire, use it!"
General Cui didn't notice him at first, but looked down when he heard the voice.
I saw it was Xie Shuyan…
To be honest, General Cui's first reaction was, "Why is this kid here?"
They didn't notice the pebble in his hand at all.
Xie Shuyan knew that General Cui would not easily believe him, so he quickly put down the stones and took out a bamboo tube from his pocket.
The bamboo tube contained white oil that looked like lard!
He poured the oil onto the pebbles, picked up two and struck them, then immediately used a slingshot to send the struck pebbles flying.
A miraculous scene unfolded.
The stone that was knocked into the air quickly ignited and turned into a small fireball.
And he aimed at a tree trunk.
The stone hit the tree trunk, instantly burning a hole the size of a fist.
General Cui and his personal guards were all stunned.
What was the substance Xie Shuyan applied to the pebbles that could ignite them with such power?
But now is not the time to delve into it.
General Cui gave Xie Shuyan a deep look and asked him if he had any extra slingshots.
He thought the pebbles Xie Shuyan took out were just ordinary pebbles; the key was what was inside the bamboo tube.
Xie Shuyan pulled out two more slingshots from his pocket.
This is all his possessions.
General Cui then borrowed the contents of the bamboo tube from him and ordered his guards to quickly gather some stones, which they used to enter the deep forest.
Xie Shuyan, however, said...
"Regular pebbles won't do; we have to use these!"
As he spoke, he emptied all the pebbles from his shirt and pants pockets and gave General Cui a detailed explanation of how to use them.
Actually, it's the same as before. General Cui didn't ask any more questions. He picked up an oiled pebble, collided it with another pebble, and then aimed it at the tree in front of him and sent it flying.
General Cui was stronger than Xie Shuyan.
The tree trunk he hit not only had a fist-sized hole punched in it, but the pebble also went straight through the trunk!
This surprised Xie Shuyan.
The other guards were alright; they all knew their general was an excellent shot.
General Cui tested it and then didn't delay any longer.
He had a total of three slingshots, which he divided equally among Yang Zhao and two other guards who were good at shooting, and then picked up stones and went into the forest.
Yang Zhao, however, wanted to give his slingshot to General Cui.
He was a skilled shooter, but the general was the best shooter among them, and the stone's power could protect him in dangerous situations.
They can be in trouble, but the general must not be in trouble.
General Cui understood his thoughts, and he put away a few pebbles, patted Yang Zhao on the shoulder, and said, "This general has no need for a slingshot!"
Even without the aid of a slingshot, he can still generate enough force.
Knowing General Cui's temperament, Yang Zhao didn't say anything more.
General Cui and the others can enter the forest, but Xie Shuyan cannot. He is too young, and there will definitely be danger if he enters the forest!
General Cui then sent one of his personal guards to escort him back.
Xie Shuyan scurried up a nearby tree like a little monkey, saying that she wouldn't go back or run around.
He's waiting for his wife here.
General Cui had no choice but to leave a personal guard there to watch over Xie Shuyan while they quickly entered the deep forest.
They continued following the signs deeper into the forest.
As expected before entering the forest, they encountered a herd of wild boars not long after they entered. Fortunately, Xie Shuyan had some small stones.
The attack by the wild boar herd was a close call, but ultimately harmless.
As they ventured deeper, they encountered another wave of hungry wolves.
The wolves were far more ferocious than the wild boars. General Cui personally led several guards to slash at the wolves with swords, while another guard, who was responsible for shooting, was tasked with killing the alpha wolf.
The alpha wolf is difficult to deal with, and its head is thick and its flesh is tough.
The flint used by the guards was aimed at the alpha wolf, which immediately dodged. Although wounded, the wolf was not seriously injured and was soon able to continue its attack.
General Cui cannot afford to linger in battle.
He then personally dealt with the alpha wolf.
And whenever an opportunity arose, they would immediately order their guards to shoot the alpha wolf in the head, eyes, and other vulnerable areas.
General Cui was highly skilled in martial arts. With the help of a marksman, he hit the alpha wolf in the eye and successfully killed it a quarter of an hour later.
With the alpha wolf dead, the other hungry wolves scattered like sand.
They were all quickly killed by the guards.
The group continued following the signs and finally arrived at the entrance of a cave after a quarter of an hour.
The mark disappeared outside the cave.
General Cui pulled out a pipe that looked like a sleeping potion from his pocket, turned it on, and a plume of white smoke drifted out.
The smell of weeds quickly filled the air.
The guard who had been tracking the man in black smelled the scent and immediately ran out from his hiding place by the mountain.
Yes, the drug was their signal.
The guard clasped his hands in salute to General Cui and immediately said, "General, the man in black took Tian Guoguo into the cave and hasn't come out since!"
No sooner had the guard finished speaking than cries of pain came from inside the cave.
"Ah, ahh..."
Everyone immediately became alert.
General Cui also frowned, looking as if he was about to rush in.
The guard quickly said, "General, don't worry! Ever since Tian Guoguo was captured and taken inside, screams have been coming from the cave from time to time!"
That's not all.
He asked General Cui and the others to listen carefully to whether the screams were male or female.
Only then did everyone notice…
It was a male voice?
The guard's expression became somewhat enigmatic, and he said to General Cui again, "General, I secretly went in to take a look earlier..."
He paused suddenly at this point.
