The caravan disguised by Su Qiqi, Qin Chuan, General Fan and others was walking slowly in the rugged valley. Surrounded by dense woods and meadows, it blocks out the sky and the sun, and is endless. Being among them, it feels remote and desolate.
Su Qiqi and Qin Chuan rode at the front of the team. The two of them looked into the distance from time to time, paying attention to what was happening ahead.
Behind them followed a larger carriage, in which sat Zheng Miao, Ning'er and Granny Cui. At this moment, Zheng Miao and Granny Cui were still on alert, staring nervously at the car curtain that was blown slightly by the wind, and listening to the movements around them. Ning'er leaned in Zheng Miao's arms and fell asleep amidst the bumps of the carriage.
Behind them was a group of soldiers wearing soft armor, and then the carriage Gu Zhongkai was riding. The coachman driving the car was General Fan's capable lieutenant Zhang Mian. At this moment, he had changed into the clothes of an ordinary coachman and put on a hat to cover up his angular and handsome face.
Walking at the end of the team was General Fan and several of his personal guards. General Fan was now dressed as a wealthy businessman. Compared with his original heroic temperament, he looked a little more gentle and elegant. He rode a red-maned horse and moved forward leisurely, quietly scanning the surroundings with the corner of his eye. Several of his personal guards followed closely behind him with solemn expressions, always paying attention to the surroundings.
Half a day passed, and Su Qiqi and others finally arrived at the foot of Feiyun Mountain. Su Qiqi reined in the horse's reins, looked up, and saw a steep mountain rising straight into the clouds, quite imposing. She pursed her lips, turned to look at Qin Chuan, and whispered: "We have arrived at Feiyun Mountain... I wonder if Tan Dabiao and Dong Liu have already gotten wind of it and are ambushing us, waiting for us?"
After hearing this, Qin Chuan pondered for a while and said: "It is possible, but we have also made preparations... We are not afraid if they come..."
Su Qiqi nodded, and then handed Qin Chuan a small paper bag. Qin Chuan opened it and saw a small amount of reddish-brown powder inside. Qin Chuan got closer and smelled the powder, showing a confused expression.
"Did you grind Qihong Xiang into powder?" Qin Chuan asked curiously.
Su Qiqi smiled slightly and said: "I also added a little ambergris, which can be taken directly with water. It has the effect of rejuvenating the mind and activating blood circulation, and can also quickly improve one's skill and cultivation..."
Qin Chuan was even more surprised and couldn't help but ask: "Where did you learn this? You were not interested in medical skills at all when you were a child..."
"I didn't study before because the medical classics written by those old scholars were too boring and I couldn't stand it. However, since I got that ancient medical classic, I have found the joy of studying medicine again..." Su Qiqi said with high spirits. explained.
When Qin Chuan heard what she said, he showed a look of enlightenment and said, "Then this incense recipe also comes from that ancient medical classic?"
Su Qiqi smiled brightly and said: "Yes, if you are interested, you can study with us another day..."
Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan shook his head repeatedly and said with a smile: "No, I'd better concentrate on practicing martial arts. My head hurts when I read those profound and obscure books..."
Before he finished speaking, Su Qiqi burst into laughter.
Qin Chuan also giggled and scratched his head. Then he said: "Should we go explore the road? See if the people in Feiyun Village have set up an ambush?"
Su Qiqi nodded and said: "Let's go and talk to General Fan first, and then explore the way..."
Qin Chuan agreed, and the two rode side by side towards General Fan at the back of the team.
After discussing with General Fan, the two cooperated with General Fan to settle the team in the pine forest at the foot of the mountain, and then galloped towards Feiyun Mountain one after another.
On Feiyun Mountain, in the meeting hall of Feiyun Village, Tan Dabiao also received a secret report from the spies and learned that the caravan disguised by Su Qiqi and others was about to pass by Feiyun Village. Tan Dabiao hurriedly asked the minions to invite several other leaders to come over to discuss matters.
When it was dark, Tan Dabiao, Dong Liu and others formulated an ambush plan. We are intensively dispatching manpower to set up ambushes at important intersections in front of and behind the mountains.
At the foot of the mountain, Su Qiqi and others were also planning to use the darkness to sneak past the stronghold and were prepared for an encounter.
The night is getting darker. Feiyun Mountain fell into a dead silence. A layer of sweat broke out on Su Qiqi's hands, and the boundless silence made her feel the beat of her heartbeat more strongly. It's like the sound of drums urging war, which makes people's hearts beat with fear.
"Su'er, there is an ambush in the bushes on the left side of that road..." Qin Chuan slid down from a two to three feet tall pine tree and whispered in Su Qiqi's ear.
Su Qiqi followed the direction of Qin Chuan's finger and raised a homemade telescope to take a closer look. Sure enough, figures squeezing together were revealed between the gaps in the trees.
Hey! Aren’t these bandits stupid? Su Qiqi changed her mind and whispered to Qin Chuan: "We may have underestimated Tan Dabiao and the others... The original deployment may need to be adjusted..."
Qin Chuan nodded thoughtfully, and the two of them took up Qinggong again and flew to another taller pine tree to get a bird's eye view of the entire Feiyun Village.
Su Qiqi handed the telescope to Qin Chuan. Qin Chuan took the telescope and quickly shuttled through the pine forest, taking in everything in the village. After making sure that there was no missing corner, he put away the telescope, pulled Su Qiqi and left quietly together.
On the mountainside, Tan Dabiao was bitten several times by grass mosquitoes in the bushes, and he couldn't help but hummed: "These birds and mosquitoes are also here to bully me... When I kill those people who don't care about life and death, I will come to deal with you!" "
He wanted to continue cursing, but Dong Liu pulled his sleeves, lay next to his ear and said: "Master, calm down, don't let these bugs ruin our important affairs..."
Tan Dabiao stopped saying anything and sat angrily on a big rock next to him, staring blankly into the air. Dong Liu looked warily at the path outside the trees, his ears trembling slightly, trying to catch any abnormal noises. The other thieves were bored and waiting for the arrival of Su Qiqi and others, holding swords, steel hammers, spears and other weapons.
While the bandits were waiting and irritated, they suddenly saw blazing fire and billowing smoke rising from a house in the village.
Tan Dabiao couldn't believe his eyes. He rubbed his eyes vigorously and looked again to make sure it was not an illusion. He quickly turned to Dong Liu and asked: "Who the hell set the fire...Brothers?" , follow me to put out the fire!"
Dong Liu stared at the fire place for a while, then hurriedly ran forward to stop Tan Dabiao's actions. He said eagerly: "Master, be careful of those people's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain..."
Tan Dabiao frowned and looked at Dong Liu, and then said in a deep voice: "Then I will take a few brothers to put out the fire, and you and the remaining brothers will continue to ambush..."
Dong Liuzheng wanted to continue to persuade him, but Tan Dabiao had already hurried to the mountain stronghold. He had no choice but to gather the remaining bandits and make new arrangements for the division of labor. The group of people withdrew from their current hiding spot, and under the cover of the pine forest, headed towards the only way Su Qiqi and others could go down the mountain, and met up with the thieves guarding there.
When Tan Dabiao arrived at the fire point, Su Qiqi and Qin Chuan were hiding on a nearby roof, ready for an ambush. As soon as Tan Dabiao and his men entered the courtyard, General Fan's men who were hiding outside closed the courtyard door from the outside and sealed it with a few thick logs.
Tan Dabiao panicked for a moment. He raised the sword across his chest and walked forward cautiously step by step. After taking only a few steps, several of the minions around him fell to the ground after being struck by hidden weapons.
He was luckier, he raised the knife and swung it left and right in time, swinging away the hidden weapon. Then let the remaining minions form a circle with him as the axis, and form back-to-back formations to deal with attacks from all directions.
But something strange happened. They waited for a cup of tea, but no one was seen. The fire became stronger and stronger, and Tan Dabiao became more and more timid. Just when he and his men were panicking, they suddenly smelled a strange fragrance, and then they felt weak and passed out.
Seeing that the bandits fell to the ground, Su Qiqi and Qin Chuan flew down from the roof where they were hiding. Qin Chuan stepped forward and sealed the key points of the thieves one by one, making them unable to move even if they woke up. Then he asked with some confusion: "The strange red incense doesn't have the function of refreshing people, so why did these bandits faint?"
Su Qiqi covered her mouth and chuckled: "Yes, Qi Hongxiang has a refreshing effect, but it also has a hypnotic effect. The key depends on how to mix and use it..."
"Hahaha, it turns out you added some ingredients to it again..." Qin Chuan smiled knowingly.
Then Qin Chuan carried Tan Dabiao on his shoulders and put him into the carriage parked at the door. Vice General Zhang drove a carriage, followed by Su Qiqi and Qin Chuan on horseback, and sped towards the intersection where Dong Liu and others were ambushing.
On the other side, General Fan, Granny Cui and others protected the carriage that Gu Zhongkai, Zheng Miao, and Ning'er were riding in and continued to move forward from another road.
Hidden in the woods. Dong Liu vaguely heard the sound of horse hooves and wheels rolling over the road. He judged that Su Qiqi and others should be approaching soon, so he whispered to the minions and prepared for the robbery.
When the shadow of a horse appeared at the intersection, Dong Liu immediately gave the command, and all the minions rushed out quickly, surrounding Su Qiqi, Qin Chuan and the carriage behind them.
Dong Liu also jumped over in a few steps and stabbed Deputy General Zhang, who was dressed as a groom, with a sword. Deputy General Zhang only blocked it slightly and jumped away. Dong Liu thought that the opponent could not defeat him, so he fled timidly, so he did not pursue him. , turned around and stabbed the carriage with his sword, piercing the body of the person in the carriage. He was overjoyed and suddenly opened the curtain to confirm, but was instantly stunned. His eyes almost froze, his body shook violently, and the knife slipped from his hand, hanging precariously on the corpse in front of him. .
At the moment when he was in a trance, Vice General Zhang returned to the carriage and stabbed his back with a sword. He spat out a mouthful of blood, turned around slowly, swung his palm towards Deputy General Zhang, and pulled out the broadsword that stabbed Tan Dabiao. He used the sword and palm together in a series of attacks. Vice General Zhang quickly dodged and then continued to stab with his sword. But Dong Liu was like crazy, chasing him and beating him with all his strength.
Vice General Zhang was a little tired of coping and gradually fell behind. Su Qiqi and Qin Chuan hurriedly stepped forward to help, and the three of them worked closely together to trap Dong Liu in the airtight sword net.
Seeing how powerful the three of them were, most of the minions nearby looked at him hesitantly. Only a few bold ones stepped forward to help Dong Liu, but were knocked away by the sword energy and fell to the ground with internal injuries. Seeing this, the rest of the gang immediately dispersed. Only Dong Liu was left fighting the trapped beast.
About an hour passed. Dong Liu suddenly smelled a strange smell, which made his internal organs churn violently. He vomited several mouthfuls of blood, and finally couldn't hold on anymore and fell to the ground. Qin Chuan and Deputy General Zhang worked together to capture and tie him up. Throw it into the carriage.
Su Qiqi saw that Dong Liu had been captured, so she blew out the strange red incense in her hand and put it back into the brocade box. Follow Qin Chuan and Deputy General Zhang to meet General Fan and others.
On the dark mountain road. With the help of Granny Cui, General Fan led his soldiers to eliminate the thieves at several other important intersections, completely wiped out the bandit lair in Feiyun Mountain, and eliminated an important support of the Ye You Alliance!
