Jiang Yue was momentarily unsure whether or not to wade into this mess. Undoubtedly, this village had committed a multitude of heinous crimes, and the bearded man was fighting in the name of ridding the people of harm, standing on the side of justice.
Furthermore, these people charged into battle to maintain the peace of the city they built.
However, if the two of them got involved and Jiang Nian's identity was exposed, no one knew what kind of trouble they would get into.
A quarter of an hour later, another dozen people came up. Among them were villagers from Changle Village. Jiang Yue still remembered their faces.
The group of people whispered to each other for a few words, then the bearded man moved, and the group walked towards the village.
Dozens of people against three hundred? He probably hasn't figured out the details of this village yet.
Jiang Yue was still struggling, but she finally nudged Jiang Nian's ear and said, "Let's go up and take a look."
Jiang Nian followed silently behind.
As the dozens of soldiers were walking, someone stumbled upon a trap, his foot got stuck in it, and he was caught in a trap. The trap bit into his flesh, blood flowed, and the pain was so excruciating that he couldn't help but scream.
Birds were startled and flew away in the woods.
Li Zhi's eyebrows jumped, and he quickly pulled him up and covered the man's mouth, but the half sound was enough to wake up the patrolling bandit guards.
The guards quickly struck the gong to wake up the people in the village.
"Someone is going up the mountain! Someone is going up the mountain!"
Everyone was sleeping soundly and was awakened by the sound.
"What?! Someone broke into the village!"
"Get up quickly, someone is coming!"
The boss Ah Hao hurriedly put on his pants and rushed out with his men holding a big knife.
He looked into the room of the newly appointed "Old Four". No one came out and there was no movement. His eyebrows jumped, and he ran over and kicked the door open. The room was empty, there was no one at all!
The third brother also rushed over, his face ferocious, and roared, "Brother, I told you this guy is unreliable! Don't trust him! Who knows! Those people outside might be brought up by him!"
“Bang!”
Ah Hao slapped him again with a stern expression, "Stop talking nonsense! Save your energy for killing people!"
Li Zhi and his men, several dozen, knew they had alerted the enemy, but the arrows were already on the string and had to be fired. With swords and spears, they surrounded the village.
As the two sides faced off, Li Zhi appeared confident of victory, but a sense of foreboding lingered deep down. There were too many bandits on this mountain.
Ah Hao glanced at Li Zhi and sneered, "You officers and soldiers have such a hard time. You have to work hard in the middle of the night without sleeping. It seems that your life is not as good as ours..."
Although Li Zhi is rough, he is not stupid. He said this to provoke people.
He said with a righteous look, "It is our responsibility to rid the people of harm. We can't possibly be lumped together with you bandits. No matter how tiring or hard it is, it's all worth it!"
"Besides, you bandits have snatched your good life from the people. You live in fear every day. It must be hard on you, right? How can you sleep at night? No wonder you all come out of your den at the slightest sign of trouble. You're like rats crossing the street, everyone shouts and beats you! Hahahaha!"
"Hahahahahaha! Rat, rat, rat!"
The soldiers around Li Zhi also knew the importance of morale. As soon as the general finished speaking, they started to make fun of the bandits on the opposite side.
The bandits felt the pain in their hearts and their faces turned red.
The third brother was furious. He pointed his knife at the other side and shouted, "Brother, what are you waiting for? Kill them!"
Ah Hao also said angrily, "Charge, brothers! Kill these soldiers and defend the village!"
“Charge!”
Li Zhi also raised his hand and shouted, "Go! Kill the rats!"
"Kill the rat!"
The two groups immediately engaged in a melee.
Dark shadows loomed, the moonlight gradually dimmed, and Jiang Yue didn't know how they could tell which of them were their own...
However, reinforcements continued to appear in Fengyun Village, and the officers and soldiers were unable to follow up.
The bandits pushed the officers and soldiers step by step into the trap.
There were "thump" sounds and screams everywhere. Li Zhi realized that something was wrong, but it was too late to retreat.
He reached out to pull up a man who was about to step into a trap, but was stabbed in the chest by the bandit.
He knelt on one knee, supporting himself with a knife, and blood was flowing from his chest.
"General! Are you okay?" A man kicked the bandit down and wanted to help the general up, but was refused.
"Hurry down the mountain and deliver the message!"
"yes!"
Li Zhi gritted his teeth and ignored the pain that was like scraping his bones.
Ah Hao stared at him, feeling very happy, and took the opportunity to rush over, raising his knife to chop him down.
The knife light reflected into Li Zhi's eyes. He subconsciously closed his eyes and couldn't help cursing.
This time he lost his life in the hands of bandits. What a huge loss!
Suddenly I thought of my wife. She is not yet thirty years old. She can still remarry while she is still young and find an ordinary man to live a peaceful life with. She doesn't have to suffer like she does now, worrying about a man every day.
Then I thought of my youngest son, who was only seven years old this year. If the stepfather his mother found treated him badly, he wouldn't be able to stand up and beat him up...
Ah Hao raised the corner of his mouth. He hated these officers and soldiers who looked like dogs the most. "Go to hell!"
"Ah——" He was startled by a wolf howl and stopped holding the knife in his hand.
A giant wild wolf rushed towards him from the left with its mouth wide open and knocked him away.
"Bang!" Ah Hao's back hit the tree trunk, and he felt like his internal organs were about to fly out.
Li Zhi opened his eyes and looked at the wolf's back, his eyes almost popping out!
A wolf even bigger than him! He had never seen such a beast in his life!
The wolf looked back at Li Zhi, then turned back and rushed into the village. He was very precise, picking off the bandits one by one and tearing them apart.
The situation suddenly reversed and the bandits were in trouble.
"Wolf! The wolf is coming!"
"Run!"
The bandits panicked and huddled together, running towards the village. Ah Hao had just taken advantage of the chaos and was helped up to sneak away.
"General!"
There were only about twenty soldiers left of Li Zhi, who retreated and helped him up.
The thirty or so reinforcements who had been responsible for guarding the rear also rushed over, stunned. "General, my God! What's going on?"
Li Zhi slapped him on the back of the head with his left hand, "I'm not your mother! What are you still standing there for? Go in and kill these bandits!"
“Kill!”
“Charge!”
Li Zhi chopped off the sign of Fengyun Village with a knife and it fell to the ground.
The wild wolves led the way, while the officers and soldiers followed in behind. Half an hour later, the ground was littered with corpses, and the thirty or so surviving bandits were escorted to an open field and their weapons confiscated.
The bandit leader and his gang escaped through a small road, and Jiang Nian did not chase them.
The sun is rising and the day is bright.
The officers and soldiers sat on the ground tiredly, watching with wide eyes the big wolf running out of the village without looking back.
"General, this wolf is here to help us. It only kills bandits!"
Li Zhi relaxed his tightly held breath and murmured, "This is a divine beast, full of intelligence, protecting this mountain. If it weren't for it, we would have been wiped out."
After saying this, he fainted.
The scar on his chest was clearly visible after daybreak. It was so deep that the bone was visible and it was still bleeding.
