Chapter 26 Jade and Mountain Risk

The soldiers were indeed moving towards Yuhe Mountain. Xueyan used spiritual skills and flew lightly, which was naturally faster than they did. Yuhe Mountain was still quiet, without any army entering. Xueyan shuttled through the woods and kept rushing eastward, without daring to delay for a moment. The mountains here are dense and lush, and they don't look like they are living in it. I think it will take some effort to find this place.

After crossing the top of the mountain, a mountain village came into view. From a distance, I saw a man standing on the post and patrolling leisurely. He had no idea what was about to happen. Xueyan rushed to the gate of the post. The people on the post were immediately alert. All the bows and arrows were aimed at Xueyan in unison. The man on the post shouted: "Who are you, what are you here to do?"

Xueyan was not afraid and shouted, "I want to see your leader A Qing, immediately!"

Several men laughed, as if they had heard a joke, and their defenses were relaxed.

One of the men shouted, "Little girl, go back wherever you come from. This is a bandit's nest, not where you should come." Xueyan also understood that in the eyes of this group of people, she was just a weak girl. Such a girl ran to the place where bandits gather and asked someone to see their leader, which was really unacceptable.

Xueyan was very anxious. The army was coming. The crowds of them might find this place soon. At this moment, there was no time to stand here and chat. Xueyan kicked the ground and jumped up. Everyone was shocked and stunned. They forgot to defend themselves. They watched Xueyan rushing to the mountain village. Then they hurriedly picked up the bow and arrow. Xueyan avoided the arrows shooting at him and jumped onto the sentry post. The Poxue sword was unsheathed, and the silver-white beam shot down the rain of arrows that were shot. The sentry post

Before the man could react, he felt a cold neck and the cold sword blade was held on the man's neck. The man subconsciously raised his head to avoid being cut. Seeing that his people had been held hostage by Xue Yan, all the bows and arrows stopped in an instant. As expected, they were just ordinary people, not as well-trained as the army, and only knew how to shoot arrows randomly, and were not afraid of hurting his people. If Xue Yan did not draw his sword and shot down Jianyu just now, the man who was held hostage would be the one who died.

"Take me to see your leader, hurry up!" Xueyan ordered without hesitation. There was no room for hesitation in his words. Everyone was attracted by Xueyan's momentum and did not dare to do it again. He nodded repeatedly and led Xueyan to the mountain village.

The entire mountain village is built on the mountain, built with wide wooden boards. The outer edges are some of the simplest defense weapons, protecting the wooden houses inside, where men and women live. Xueyan comes over and puts down their work. Seeing Xueyan holding the man hostage, Xueyan can't help but feel a little regretful. If she hadn't stolen military rations rashly, these people might have lived here comfortably.

"He is just an ordinary citizen, if you have anything to do, come to me." A woman carried a knife and walked out of the wooden house directly in front of her. Her voice was sonorous and powerful, and everyone's eyes became respectful.

"I want to see your leader, now!" Xueyan put forward the conditions.

"A Qing, she insists on breaking in to see you, we can't stop it..."

The woman named A Qing raised her hand to stop the man's words, turned to Xueyan and said disdainfully. "You want to see me, is there anything wrong?"

A trace of surprise flashed in Xueyan's eyes. Listening to the sound and looking at her figure, she was indeed a woman, but she was wearing a man-like clothes, carrying a knife on her neck with one hand, and pinching her waist with the other hand. Such an outfit was very inconsistent with her pretty face. Xueyan thought that the one who could lead the people to fight against the army should be a burly man or something. Unexpectedly, a petite woman would have such courage and courage.

"Are you a woman?" Xueyan asked out the doubts in her heart. The facts were right in front of her, and this sentence seemed redundant, but Xueyan still asked.

"What? Is it strange to be a woman? You want to see me by name. Do you want to be a lady from the village?" the woman joked, laughing loudly with the people around her.

Xueyan did not explain. War was imminent, so there was no time to joke. Xueyan looked at them and smiled enough and expressed her intention anxiously. "Hurry up and take your people out of here. The soldiers at the foot of the mountain have already gone up the mountain to suppress the bandits. They almost came out in full swing. You are no match for them at all."

"Ha... you don't seem to be from Hezhou, right?" Ah Qing ignored it and said disdainfully.

This question indeed stopped Xueyan. She was indeed not from Hezhou. Xueyan answered truthfully. "No."

"Then why should I believe you?" A Qing sneered and asked in a low voice. "If you are a spy sent by the army, wouldn't I want everyone to die in vain?"

Xueyan is not from Hezhou, so she naturally doesn't know her. She left in a hurry just now and did not ask for any tokens, and there is nothing to prove that her words were true. In desperation, Xueyan had to raise her sword and terrify, "If you don't leave, I will kill you."

"Ha... Then let me see your ability." A Qing snorted coldly and slashed at Xueyan.

Xueyan used her sword to resist the blade she swung. She was not as weak as she looked and could lead a mountain village. She must have some skills on her body, and the clumsy-looking knife was waving freely in her hand.

There is no time to waste. Although you are not allowed to use spells without authorization in the face of ordinary humans, you can't control so much now. Xueyan quietly used spiritual power to restrain the knife in her hand, and used the Poxue Sword to press against her chest in a few strokes. "I want to kill you easily, so there is no need to make up some lies to lie to you."

The woman was stunned. She felt that Xueyan's skill was unfathomable. If she wanted to destroy the counterfeit village, there was no need to be so much trouble. Ah Qing put down the knife in her hand, with some respect in her eyes.

Xueyan saw that her attitude had slowed down a lot, and put away the sword against her chest and said anxiously: "Now, take your people to hide, hurry up!"

Seeing Ah Qing standing there in a daze, Xueyan urged, "What are you doing while standing there? It's too late to leave!"

A man rushed over from the gate of the village. "A Qing, a large group of people are approaching the village."

"How many people are there?" Ah Qing asked.

"I can't see clearly, there should be a lot. It is said that the grain was lost in the granary guarding the border last night. They suspected that we stole it. They were going to attack the mountain village." The man replied in a panic expression and a trembling voice.

The army was approaching, and it was too late. Ah Qing was still hesitating. Xueyan held her hand. "Listen to me, you told your people to stay in the mountain village, and no one is allowed to go out. I'll lead them away."

Ah Qing looked at Xueyan with some suspicion. Even if she believed Xueyan's words, she could not easily put so many lives in the village in the hands of a stranger.

Xueyan said anxiously: "If I can risk my life to inform you, there will be a way to save your lives. Believe me."

A Qing sighed, and there was no other way at this time. She turned around and shouted loudly to the people around her: "Listen to my order, everyone will pick up their weapons and stay in the village. You are not allowed to go out without my order." People went to prepare one after another, and A Qing turned around and ordered the man. "Call the archers on the outside to be on guard."

Xueyan returned the sword and jumped out of the mountain village. She stood on the treetops and looked at the hillside. The mountainside was filled with soldiers. Xueyan saw the commanders of several team leaders in front of the team. They were the strong men I met that day. These people were fascinated. Xueyan came up with a plan and flew through the woods and was approaching their team. Xueyan jumped down the tree and stood in front of them. The soldiers were surprised at first that there was a woman in the wilderness.

"Where do you guys want to go?" Xueyan asked softly, trying to make her voice soft and charming. She has always hated Yao Xiu'e's style, but she had to do this at this time.

The commanders immediately turned into a lustful look. It was the people Xueyan taught a lesson in Hezhou that day. She hated such people very much, but she had to laugh for the innocent people. "It's you, I'm really sorry that day. I didn't mean it. It's better for the military masters to come to my house for a cup of tea, which is considered apology." Xueyan said quietly.

"This..." Several commanders were afraid of Xue Yan's martial arts and hesitated.

"What? Are the soldiers unwilling to give me a favor?" Xueyan lowered her head. "That's just that she refuses to forgive me."

Xueyan pretended to be sad and looked charming. How could the soldiers of the army beg her sad?

"Okay... let's go." Several commanders coaxed, and had long forgotten all their concerns.

"But so many people are clamoring here, it's so scary." Xueyan whispered.

With Xueyan's hospitality, why are there any bandits? A commander cleared his throat and pretended to turn back and ordered: "You! Lead the army back to the barracks first. We must check the location of the parcel in person and make plans." Seeing Xueyan, all the important things were thrown out of the sky.

"Yes." A man with the captain's appearance responded and directed the army to go down the mountain in a mighty manner.

"Please ask me for it, several soldiers." Xueyan confirmed that they had gone back and turned around to lead several commanders to the west. Xueyan was light and had a slightly faster pace. Several commanders always wanted to catch up with Xueyan's footsteps, but they were deliberately thrown away by her and kept a distance.

"Girl, wait for us..." Several commanders chased after him panting and greeted Xueyan from time to time.

Xueyan glanced around with his eyes. He was already far away from the mountain village. Several commanders chased after him in panting. Xueyan smiled secretly, ignoring them, and his pace was still fast.

The sun was about to set, and Xueyan kept taking them around the mountains. Several strong men who had been pampering for many years had long lost their courage to fight on the battlefield. Xueyan secretly glanced backwards, hunger and fatigue dragged down their bodies. Several people held the tree, gasping for a rough voice, and could no longer walk.

It had already reached the foot of the mountain, and there was a village below. Xueyan pretended not to see them fall behind and continued to move forward as if nothing had happened.

"Hey... girl! Where is the person?" Several people looked at each other and found that they had lost it. Xueyan had already quietly disappeared in the shade of the trees. Several strong men searched everywhere but had no success, so they could only return home in disappointment. Xueyan breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the village.

The lights lit up in the mountain village. As soon as Xueyan entered the door, Aqing and some villagers came out. "Miss save the lives of the people in the mountain village. Aqing is very grateful." As he said that, he knelt in front of Xueyan with one knee and clasped his fists. "I don't know that my benefactor's name is respected. I am willing to listen to the girl's orders in the future and follow her to the death."

"What kind of benefactors don't benefactors? Just call them Xueyan." Xueyan quickly helped her up and explained: "It was because I stole the food from the army last night that they were causing them to go up the mountain to suppress bandits on such a large scale. Originally, I was just pitiful to the people of Hezhou. I didn't expect such a big mess to cause. I calculated carefully that the danger this time was caused by me. I just came to make up for my mistakes, and there was nothing to thank for."

"No!" Ah Qing vetoed. "I said before that whoever can defeat me is the new leader here. You are more capable of leading everyone than me."

It turned out that she was still worried about what she lost just now. In fact, as a human being, such a skill is already very good, not to mention that she is still a girl, Xueyan apologized for her explanation. "It was forced by the situation just now, so I had to do it. Don't take it to heart. When I first arrived in Hezhou, I was completely unfamiliar with this place. Even if my martial arts are better than you, it doesn't mean that I am more suitable to protect everyone than you."

Ah Qing thought deeply about Xueyan's words and felt that it made sense. She smiled and patted Xueyan's shoulder, and laughed happily. "Okay, you Xueyan will be my Ah Qing's good brother in the future."

Xueyan smiled slightly, Ah Qing's straightforward personality made Xueyan feel very friendly. She was an orphan, so Xueyan was the same. The people here also surrounded her with smiles and greeted Xueyan cordially.

"Miss Xueyan will stay tonight. You saved the lives of our entire mountain village people. We must hold a banquet for hospitality." As the people in the mountain village were about to work hard, Xueyan stopped them.

"It's not the time to relax your vigilance. They failed to go up the mountain and were fooled by me again. I will definitely not give up." Xueyan was still a little worried. "We should prepare early in case they come and invade again."

"I'm right, but I still have to eat rice." An old woman squinted her eyes and said with a smile: "I still have a chicken at home, so I'll go stew it now."

"Grandma, your chickens still have to keep them in raw eggs." The woman next to her whispered.

"If you want to eat, ordinary porridge will be immediately. The people of Hezhou are still in dire straits. How can I eat so good food?" Xueyan said loudly. "We must make a long-term plan and think of a complete solution to save the people here!"

"Xueyan, you are very kind and righteous, I, A Qing, did not misunderstand the person!" A Qing admired him very much. "We must share the joys and sorrows with the people. If the people of Hezhou are not full every day, we will drink porridge every day!"

"Okay!" Everyone in the village agreed excitedly.

"Do you have any good solutions?" Xueyan asked.

"Come with me." Ah Qing took Xueyan to look at the defense map around Hezhou and pointed to an official road in the east of Hezhou. "I received reliable news that the court sent a batch of relief grain, which will probably arrive on the official road in the east tomorrow morning. If this batch of grain is transported to Hezhou, it will definitely be shared by those leaders and will not save the people at all. I have been staring at this batch of relief grain for a long time and plan to ambush here and rob the batch of grain."

"Since it was transported by the court, it should be distributed to the people." Xueyan asked. These things should still be considered as good as possible. After all, weapons cannot solve the problem and will also hurt people's lives.

"The grain transported in the past few times can only be made into a bowl of rice soup when it is distributed to the people, and it cannot solve the problem of food and clothing at all." Ah Qing continued. "It is said that the person who escorted the grain this time was a high-ranking official from Jizhou, but now there are no one who is not corrupt if he becomes an official. If he does not rob him halfway, he will be taken over by the army when he enters the city. If he is transported to the military camp, he will be guarded by the heavy army, so we will not have the chance to start."

"Okay, we only rob food and will never hurt people's lives." Xueyan agreed, with a slight expectation in her heart. Could it be Ye Feng, the high-ranking official from Jizhou?

"Well, we just hijack the official and force him to give us the food."

"Okay, in short, just don't hurt people's lives." Xueyan took out the bottle of mandala pollen when stealing food and handed it to Ah Qing. "This is a pest, and if it is spread in the air, it can make the hearing person faint. If necessary, protect the people in the village."

"Okay." A Qing hesitated for a moment and took the porcelain bottle.

If Ye Feng came, he would definitely help the people. Xueyan remembered the energetic young man, standing in the mist-covered heaven, standing tall, flying clothes, looking down at the world, compassionately with the sufferings of the world.

That night, the entire village was being prepared. Ah Qing sent Xueyan to rest, but she was busy and busy. Xueyan sighed that although Ah Qing was a girl, she really looked like a leader, took the overall situation into consideration, had the majesty that the leader should have, and was willing to share the joys and sorrows with ordinary people. These people naturally supported her.

Xueyan just slept in a drowsy and it was dawn. Ah Qingdian, who could do his best in the good mountain village, was ready to go, and the group lies in the woods on both sides of the official road.
