Start with Yan Liang, the Sims of Yuan Shao's youngest son

Chapter 96

On both sides of the winding path are green forests. The weather has gradually turned cold, and even the bugs have stopped making noise.In the depths of the mountain stream, there seemed to be the sound of a zither, faintly transmitted, the tone was soothing, melodious and pleasant, Wu Yue was in a trance, and almost forgot why he came.

She asked in a low voice, "Why is there no one on the way?"

Yuan Ke said cautiously: "I don't know, but since there are bandits entrenched here, it is impossible not to set up a checkpoint. We are not familiar with this land boundary. We would rather walk slowly and be careful of the trees on both sides. and the treetops overhead."

They turned a corner and the terrain gradually became steeper.Yuan Ke didn't want to let the villagers make mistakes, so he said: "The terrain here is dangerous, and it's the best place to guard the road. I'll go and see the situation first, and you bring someone here to wait for me."

Wu Yueyin asked worriedly: "Be careful too!"

Yuan Ke took three steps and made two steps, and rolled into the bushes in front of him.As he walked slowly through the trees, he tried to perceive changes in the surrounding environment with his eyes, ears, and even every pore in his body.After about thirty or forty steps forward, as he expected, four bandit soldiers with long knives sat under the tree boredly, yawning again and again.

It seems that this is the first hurdle to enter the stockade.

Yuan Ke slowly drew out a pair of daggers hanging from his waist, planning a surprise attack, but at this moment, Wu Yueyin's scream came from behind:
"what--"

When the incident happened suddenly, Yuan Ke and the four thieves were taken aback.The four listless guys exchanged winks, grabbed their long knives and ran down the mountain!

Yuan Ke knew that it was time to make a decisive decision at this time, otherwise something bad would happen, so he gritted his teeth and drew out his two sabers in front of his chest. Driven by the fierce airflow, the branches and leaves of the shrubs rushed towards the faces of the four people like a rain of flowers!
At the time when they were distracted, Yuan Ke jumped out suddenly, "Puff puff puff" three times, and made a solid cut in each of the three hearts, then turned around, replaced the knife with his arm, and slammed the rest The man's ribs.Hearing a click, at least two of the man's ribs were broken, and he passed out on the spot.

Yuan Ke hurried back to Wu Yueyin's side, and seeing her pale face, he asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Wu Yueyin took a few heavy breaths, wiped off the sweat from his forehead, and said, "A snake passed under my feet just now, but I can't find it now."

Yuan Ke pulled her up and joked: "I thought the bandits on Qingsong Ridge were the scariest, but I didn't expect there to be even more terrifying snakes!"

Wu Yueyin's face turned red and white for a while, and he couldn't think of words to refute for a while.In order to ease the embarrassment, she changed the subject and asked, "Did you see the bandit?"

Yuan Ke nodded and said, "Come with me."

Wu Yueyin followed him to a big tree, where he saw a bundle of firewood piled up in disorder, with three corpses crookedly lying beside it.Yuan Ke pointed to the grass next to him and said, "Here, there is still a living person there."

Wu Yueyin dragged the dead bandit out of the grass, slapped him on the face twice, and woke him up.This guy pretended to wake up in a daze, and when he moved a little, his sternum hurt again. He was about to cry, but he saw Wu Yueyin staring at him with frowning eyes. Behind her, it was the one who killed three times just now A wounded Yuan Ke?He was so frightened that he choked back the "Ouch" sound that was about to come out, leaving only tears and snot flowing down.

Seeing his slovenly appearance, Wu Yueyin frowned even more tightly.She forced her to ask: "How many people are there on this Qingsong Ridge now? If you don't tell the truth, you will be buried with the three of them!"

The bandit was so frightened that his voice trembled: "Woman, please forgive me, we, we have 200 people here now..."

"Why did I only see the four of you?"

"There are two hundred in the camp halfway up the mountain, and another hundred in the camp on the top of the mountain..."

"Nonsense!" Wu Yueyin questioned with a fierce look on his face, "I said two hundred just now, and now I say three hundred again, without a word of truth in my mouth!"

The bandit couldn't hold back anymore, he got up straight away, and began to kowtow like a chicken pecking at rice, wailing, "Heroes spare me", "There are old men on the villains, and there are young men on the bottom", etc. Cliché, unhelpful and comical at the same time.

Seeing Wu Yueyin's serious face, Yuan Ke felt that he wanted to laugh in his heart, which was quite different from the previous appearance when he was frightened by the snake and turned pale.The bandit was already incoherent, he didn't want to waste any more time, so he said, "Tell the truth, we won't make things difficult for you, I promise you."

The bandit wiped away his tears and said: "The little one dare not lie to the two heroes. There are indeed a hundred brothers in the camp on the top of the mountain, but they all went to fight the autumn wind yesterday, so there are only 200 people left in total. The little one didn't How dare you lie!"

Yuan Ke nodded, and asked again: "Is Tang Jiang there?"

"exist."

"Besides him, are there other leaders?"

"There are three leaders in Lingzi. The eldest Tang Jiang, the second Li Hu, and the third Yao Xing are all in the village."

"Is it on the side of the mountain or on the top of the mountain?"

"Tang Jiang is on the top of the mountain, and Li Hu and Yao Xing are on the mountainside."

Yuan Ke remained motionless, as if thinking hard.After a while, he pointed to the pile of firewood and asked, "If outsiders go up the mountain, will you pass on information by lighting this pile of firewood?"

The bandit showed a surprised expression on his face, and said: "You can't escape the eyes of the heroes! On the way up the mountain, there are five piles of firewood like this. If we light this pile of firewood, Li Hu and Yao Xing will bring people down, and at the same time Send someone to report to Tangjiang."

"Are there any traps and ambushes along the way?"

"There are no ambushes, and there are only five groups of people as outposts in total. Well, there will be more traps if you walk a little further up..."

Wu Yueyin felt troubled in his heart. As the saying goes, it is easy to hide from the back, but hard to defend from the back. Tell her to face these thieves head-on. With Yuan Ke and so many folks around, she is not afraid.But the trap, once stepped into, will be more ominous.

She wanted to hear Yuan Ke's idea, but when she turned her head, before she could speak, she saw Yuan Ke lighting a fire with a flint, and in a blink of an eye, a wisp of green smoke curled up.

"You!" Wu Yueyin was surprised and anxious, and said angrily, "Didn't you attract all the people on the mountain?"

Yuan Ke said proudly: "The mob is nothing to be afraid of. You take everyone to hide and take care of this kid!"

Wu Yueyin gritted her teeth and said: "Since we came together, we should fight the enemy together. Even if we die here, we have nothing to say!" She cut the bandit's neck with her palm, knocked him unconscious, dragged him into a bush beside him, and then He raised his gun and stood beside Yuan Ke.

In front of them, the sky-shaking footsteps from far to near startled the sparrows in the forest.
