When the second in command heard his men say something was wrong, he immediately looked at the banknotes in his hand.

"What's wrong? These banknotes have been checked."

"Second Master, something is wrong. Look, this banknote is different from the one we had before."

“The texture of this paper, and these, here…”

The second in command and some others took the banknotes and looked at them carefully.

The more they looked, the more uneasy they felt, and the words on the banknotes became more and more blurred.

"No, light the fire quickly and dry these banknotes, otherwise, everything will be ruined..."

The second in command yelled madly.

His men immediately took out a tinder, lit some dry grass, and the fire soon started.

Everyone gathered together and took the silver bills in their hands to the fire to roast them.

"Second Master, this banknote is not fake, is it?"

"These notes are fake."

"No, it can't be fake."

The second in command thought about what happened today, and he became even more angry. What on earth was going on? How could it turn out like this? Could it be that someone in their mountain stronghold was collaborating with the enemy? No, someone had surrendered to the government?

Otherwise, how could things be so one-sided? In the past, when they fought with the government, they could obviously escape, and as long as they escaped across the river, the government could not do anything to them. Moreover, there were more traps and quagmires in the mountains...

He looked at the fire and suddenly a vicious plan came to his mind.

"You, pour kerosene on those cloths, put them on the bows and arrows, light them, and shoot those arrows to the opposite mountain..."

Hearing what the second in command said, many of his men were stunned.

"Yes, the Second in Command is right. If we don't want to be caught, we have to use this tactic."

"Not only can we throw the arrows dipped in kerosene to the other side, but once we run to an open area, we can also light the fires around us, so that the government officials can't catch us..."

"Yes, yes, yes. The government officials are chasing us so closely now. If we don't use some tricks, we won't be able to escape..."

General Wei had just ordered his men to chase the bandits by boat when he saw smoke coming out of the forest opposite. He had a bad feeling.

He knew that these bandits were armed with bows and arrows. Now that a fire had suddenly started, could it be that these people wanted to burn the mountain?

"The bandits may burn the mountain, so everyone should be careful. If you encounter a mountain fire, you must quickly avoid it..."

"Yes."

When the Jiangnan garrison and Suzhou yamen runners heard General Wei's words, their faces changed.

The bandits burned the mountain. Isn't this too cruel? Aren't these bandits afraid of dying together?

As the smoke on the mountain grew thicker, General Wei understood what was going on.

He immediately sent someone to notify the person who was chasing in the front.

"Be careful, the bandits are setting fire to the mountain..."

"Don't chase too far. Be careful."

"Don't go over there, it's on fire."

The soldiers heard the shouting, looked up, and saw a big fire in front of them. The fire in several places suddenly grew bigger.

"Get out."

"Run that way."

"Quickly withdraw and stop chasing."

The centurions also shouted to their soldiers and pulled their men back quickly.

The soldiers also retreated quickly, and in the blink of an eye, they saw the fire growing bigger and bigger.

Seeing the pursuing soldiers retreat, the second in command burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, they can't catch up."
