Chapter 200 The Temperamental Tiger Descending the Mountain
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.
Tiger Descending the Mountain's most capable henchman captured a woman dressed in tattered clothes.
Although the dress was tattered, it didn't reveal that the material was of excellent quality.
County Magistrate Pang recognized the man at a glance, and his expression suddenly changed.
Didn't we hear that all the kidnapped people have been rescued? Why is Fang Luxue still in the hands of the bandits?
He looked at Xue Jiang, wanting an explanation from him.
Xue Jiang knew it was his mistake, but at that time he had just fought a big battle with Xia Shan Hu and was slightly distracted, which is why he didn't count the number of people.
This was definitely my fault!
Before the officers and soldiers could make a move, the tiger blew a whistle, and the three-headed wolf leaped towards Fang Luxue.
Both sides of the hostages were protected by wolves, making it difficult to know where to begin.
Wan Qiqi's life or death was none of Pang County Magistrate's business, but Fang Luxue's life or death made it difficult for Pang County Magistrate to give an order.
But retreating now would mean all their efforts would be in vain!
Seeing their hesitation, Xia Shanhu sneered twice, "If you want Fang Luxue to live, let your magistrate come and talk to me himself!"
As soon as he finished speaking, escorted by the wolves, he took Wan Qiqi hostage and disappeared behind the boulder.
After he left, the other bandits gradually retreated up the mountain.
The bandits all knew that as long as Lianshan remained unconquered, the government troops would be powerless against them.
Besides, they had just taken advantage of the chaos to seize several cartloads of grain, enough for the remaining brothers to get through the winter.
The officers and soldiers all looked grim, unsure of what to do, and were waiting for County Commandant Pang to give orders.
County Magistrate Pang remained silent for a long time.
Suddenly, he raised his eyes and stared at Xue Jiang, his tone icy as he said, "Instructor Xue, shouldn't you give us an explanation?"
Everyone agreed to attack the mountain together, but when the government troops and Geng Laosan were fighting, only Xie Xing and a few heroes were there, and the people from the martial arts school were nowhere to be seen.
Even Xue Jiang, the leader, was nowhere to be found.
Later, news came that all the kidnapped people had been rescued and that they could now focus their efforts on attacking the mountain. However, they discovered that the most important person was still in the hands of the bandits, as was Xue Jiang's apprentice's wife.
What on earth is going on?
In a battle to suppress bandits, they knew nothing and seemed to be used as pawns. In the end, they couldn't even rescue the county magistrate's daughter.
Xue Jiang's gaze followed the tiger as it descended the mountain, as if he were following it up the mountain.
Only after Magistrate Pang finished speaking did he come back to his senses, concealing the faint worry in his eyes. He put his hands behind his back, glanced at Magistrate Pang, and said coldly, "Why don't you tell me, Magistrate Pang, why do the bandits know so much about the plan we discussed?"
Although Xue Jiang cooperated with the government, it did not mean that he was afraid of the government. He still maintained his own attitude on matters that needed to be questioned.
Although Xue Jiang was in the Hefeng Town Martial Arts School, he was a celebrity in the county. Everyone knew that his martial arts school was upright, punished the strong and helped the weak, and worked for the benefit of ordinary people.
He was quite famous even throughout the entire state capital.
County Magistrate Pang was displeased upon hearing this and angrily retorted, "Xue Jiang, what do you mean! Do you think I'm colluding with bandits?"
Xie Xing replied, "We have never said that anyone is colluding with bandits, nor have we ever said that you are colluding with bandits."
He took out a silk handkerchief to wipe the bloodstains off the blade, then turned to Chen Yongnian and said, "Don't worry, he won't harm your wife now." He paused, then added, "With her intelligence, she was able to bring those young masters and ladies out, so she's naturally capable of protecting herself."
Despite this, Chen Yongnian was still very worried.
The woman's face was pale and bruised, which showed that the tiger had really gone all out.
Xie Xing's words were not only for Chen Yongnian's ears, but also to tell everyone that Wan Qiqi was the one who was able to rescue so many people quietly.
Pang, the county magistrate, had heard a little about Wan Qiqi, but he thought she was just a village woman and couldn't possibly have any real abilities.
Recalling her appearance carrying the wolf cub, the wolf pack turning around and killing Geng Laosan, and then attacking the bandits, it was indeed unexpected.
If such a person were a man, he would surely achieve great things.
Unfortunately, it was a woman!
Although County Magistrate Pang did not continue arguing with Xue Jiang, a rift developed between the government troops and the martial arts school.
He ordered the scene to be cleaned up and the number of injured people to make subsequent arrangements.
He then ordered his soldiers to surround Lianshan Mountain, preventing even a bird from flying out, before sending a letter to the county.
Although he was a county constable and had certain powers, he still had to report such changes to the county magistrate for a decision.
In contrast, the mountain stronghold was in complete chaos.
Without Geng Laosan's calm intervention, Xia Shanhu became noticeably more irritable.
He threw the two prisoners to the ground, where they fell and were completely disoriented.
The little monkey stood to one side, shivering, holding the wolf cub.
He had never seen the chief so angry, as if he wanted to tear down the mountain stronghold to vent his anger.
The tiger descending the mountain no longer cared about the child present.
He sat on the throne, his gaze sweeping fiercely over Wan Qiqi and Fang Luxue.
He had always known that Geng Laosan's way of doing things was somewhat extreme, but also extremely clever.
Because of him, Lianshan has been able to grow stronger day by day.
The two of them had worked together through thick and thin, sharing joys and sorrows, and together they built Lianshan into a thriving enterprise.
But unexpectedly, Geng Laosan died today at the hands of the wolves he had raised.
The culprit is the woman in front of us.
The woman he himself had abducted to the mountain!
"Boss, what should we do with these two women?"
After he finished speaking, no one spoke for a long time.
Wan Qiqi finally recovered.
She felt that the tiger coming down the mountain really wanted to kill her.
She almost, just a hair's breadth away, and suffocated to death!
Thankfully, she pulled through!
Wan Qiqi lay on the ground, panting heavily.
