Chapter 202 Burning Down the Mountain Stronghold
"The big...big boss..."
The bandits stumbled into the main hall of the stronghold, tripped over a pit, and fell to the ground.
But the pain of the fall didn't stop him.
His knees had barely touched the ground when he immediately got up and charged forward.
He hadn't run two steps before he fell down again.
It went back and forth until it stopped in front of the tiger coming down the mountain.
The tiger descending the mountain had a gloomy face and cursed, "What's wrong with you? Didn't I tell you not to bother me before Fang Ziming came looking for me?"
"Boss, they're attacking...they're attacking..."
The tiger descending the mountain, puzzled, frowned and asked, "What's attacking?"
He has a hostage, Fang Ziming's daughter. Do you think these people can just ignore Fang Ziming's daughter and attack the mountain directly?
The bandit's next words confirmed Xia Shanhu's idea.
"Boss, the government troops are attacking! That corrupt official Fang... he's leading the charge and has ordered an attack on the mountain!"
Tiger suddenly stood up. "This old thief doesn't even care about his own daughter's life?"
As he spoke, he strode out.
He stopped after every two steps.
The bandits following behind were walking too fast and didn't have time to stop, so they bumped into the tiger coming down the mountain.
He hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy, "Boss, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..."
Xia Shanhu waved his hand to keep himself calm, then turned his head and asked, "Are the two people who were hanging still there?"
"She's...she's still hanging there!" The bandit looked up, his expression panicked, and said, "To prevent the other woman from playing tricks, we hung her on the cliff. She definitely can't get down without help!"
Tiger Descending the Mountain frowned even more deeply. "Release the wolves and let them go down the mountain to block the government troops. The rest of you, guard the stronghold and make sure they can't break through!"
After giving the order, he strode out.
Just as I stepped out of the hall, a flaming arrow shot straight at me.
The tiger descending the mountain took a step back.
The arrow pierced the ground, yet the flames continued to burn.
"Oil... This corrupt official is actually using oil! He's trying to burn down the mountain stronghold!"
After the bandit finished speaking, he looked back and saw that many thatched huts were already burning under the raging flames.
The tiger descending the mountain knew that Yunhe County alone was not enough to provide the kerosene for attacking the mountain.
There must be foreign aid!
Although today's battle resulted in heavy casualties, the mountain stronghold is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so how could it be attacked so quickly?
"Go and make the arrangements!"
At the tiger's command, the bandits stumbled off to release the wolves.
Tiger felt something was wrong and hurriedly headed towards the mountain stronghold's resting place.
The fire was raging, and the sky seemed to have been blackened by smoke!
At the entrance of the mountain stronghold, Chen Yongnian watched the flames slowly burn, crackling incessantly, and found it horrifying.
He seemed to see the town that had been burned down by bandits, surrounded by fire, with no one surviving.
After observing for a moment, he immediately rushed out into the crowd, intending to break through from an unguarded spot to rescue his wife.
Standing at the entrance of the mountain stronghold, one can see more clearly that there are two people hanging from the watchtower, two people who are nearly unconscious.
Wan Qiqi's arms were numb and she had lost all feeling in them. Her mind was foggy and she couldn't open her eyes.
She started to feel cold all over, and she had a vague feeling that she was really going to die.
But at this moment, she felt the temperature around her rising.
This temperature reminded her of the burning town that night; it was just as warm, yet so horrific.
The darkness in my eyelids was illuminated, as if a flame were shining in front of me.
Not only that, she seemed to hear the crackling sound of burning firewood.
Wan Qiqi slowly opened her eyes in the chaos, and what she saw before her was a field of flowers, like blooming fiery red flowers.
With a clang, a stray arrow streaked across the sky and pierced the watchtower.
The lookout tower was formed by trees, and under the erosion of the flames, a small black circle gradually appeared.
Then the blackness gradually spread, and flames began to rise.
Immediately afterwards, an arrow struck the rope binding Fang Luxue.
As the flames burned, the rope snapped, and Fang Luxue fell onto the observation platform.
But she had already lost consciousness and was completely unaware of the danger that was about to befall her.
"Fang...Fang Luxue...wake up, wake up quickly..."
Wan Qiqi tried her best to call out, but she couldn't wake the person up as she had expected.
Her voice was already hoarse, and her words were as soft as a mosquito's buzz, only she could hear them.
"Fang Luxue... Fang Luxue..."
Wan Qiqi did not give up, calling out again and again, trying to wake the person.
She knew that if Fang Luxue didn't wake up, the one who would truly die would be herself!
If the flames from the arrow were to strike her, she would fall off the cliff and be shattered to pieces.
"Fang Luxue... wake up... wake up quickly..."
Even though she called out to him a thousand times, she still couldn't wake the unconscious person.
Just then, Wan Qiqi saw the little monkey below the observation platform and hurriedly said, "Little monkey, come and help!"
Her lips moved twice, but no sound came out.
The little monkey seemed to hear her, and carrying the wolf cub, it scurried up to the observation deck, looking at Wan Qiqi with a puzzled expression.
The wolf cub broke free from his arms, jumped down, sniffed Fang Luxue repeatedly, and finally stuck out its tongue to lick her cheek.
Wan Qiqi felt her vision becoming increasingly blurry. Even with the little monkey right in front of her, she couldn't make out its face. "Little monkey, wake her up!"
She believed that if an adult had come, they could have saved her, but instead, it was a seven or eight-year-old child.
Even if Fang Luxue wakes up now and is with the little monkey, she might not be able to pull herself back.
But at least this way, she still has a glimmer of hope.
