Chapter 72 Breaking down the stronghold
Shen Munan led his troops out of the city quickly, following the ruts along the way.
But it is not easy to find ruts in the night, especially since this road is not a small road and there are many people and vehicles passing by.
The speed is too slow, and Shen Munan sinks like water.
Thinking of Gu Yunyao's face with a sly smile, he couldn't help but tighten his grip on the reins. The rough rope rubbed his palms. This feeling seemed to spread to the tip of his heart, an indescribable feeling.
That cunning little girl has not yet fulfilled a single thing she promised him. He went to save her just to make her fulfill her promise.
No one can make empty talk in front of him.
As I was walking, I suddenly saw something flashing in front of me.
Chunni also saw it and quickly stepped forward to dismount.
"Master, it's a ring."
Shen Munan took it and looked at it. It was not Gu Yunyao's.
This is a men's ring, but...why does it look familiar? I seem to have seen it somewhere.
"Go forward."
When I walked to the intersection ahead, I saw another ring.
"Let's go again!"
Found another one.
This is no coincidence.
Gently rubbing it with your fingers, there is a kind of... medicinal powder on it?
Shen Munan's heart skipped a beat. He lit up the folded book and took a closer look. Sure enough, there was a light layer of medicinal powder on it. Even if the ring was thrown into the grass, it was not completely rubbed off.
This is... Shen Munan recognized that this was the medicinal powder in the small brown medicine bottle that Gu Yunyao gave him.
He looked up: "Is the direction ahead of Erlong Mountain?"
"Exactly," Chunni hesitated for a moment, "Master, our people have been watching over at Erlong Mountain.
There are 308 of them in total, and their behavior is that of soldiers, but they are very cautious. It is not clear which side they belong to.
If I go now, will it alert the enemy?"
Shen Munan picked up the reins: "Go over and have a look. The big deal is, we'll get rid of the grass and snakes together."
"yes."
With the target direction in mind, Shen Munan's cavalry arrived in front of the Erlong Mountain stronghold in a short time like lightning.
Shen Munan could tell at a glance from the dark village gate and the defensive method in front of the gate that this was indeed a military habit.
"Call the door."
As soon as Chunni stepped forward, the people on the outpost had already spotted them.
"Who is it? Stop! Go forward and start shooting!"
Without saying a word, Chunni drew his bow and nocked an arrow, and with a click, it hit the target.
"Plop", the body fell down.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of gongs sounded in the village.
The gate of the cottage opened and a group of people rushed out.
The leader of the gangster was tall and thin, but his waist was tied tightly with a belt that stretched out his strong muscles.
What he was holding in his hand was a saber.
"Who is this person? How dare you break into our village at night?" He pointed the tip of his knife towards the other side.
Seeing that Shen Munan only led a dozen people in total, he was relieved. These few people were not enough for his men to kill.
Chunni asked: "Where is the woman kidnapped from the capital today? Hand it over."
The bandit leader was startled, how could he be so important to someone?
"Boy, are you out of your mind? Don't tell me I won't tell you. Even if this happens, you are here just buzzing around, aren't you afraid that I will do something to you?"
Shen Munan said slowly: "Are you the leader here?"
"good!"
"That's easy. If I hold you, I won't be afraid of you hurting my people."
The bandit leader laughed: "Haha, does the sun come out in the west today? How dare someone speak to me like that?"
Shen Munan stretched out his hand, and Chunni handed over the bow and arrow.
He was moving very fast, and before the bandit leader could stop laughing, he felt a strong sound of wind blowing against his face.
The bandit leader was shocked and tried to hide again, but it was already too late.
"Chi!" There was a sound, and an arrow hit his right shoulder.
He rolled over and fell, but before he could get up, the second arrow came again, hitting his left forearm. The tip of the arrow passed through his arm and was nailed into the ground.
He screamed miserably, shattering the laughter of his men behind him.
The scene was completely silent.
Shen Munan picked up the reins and slowly walked out of the shadows. The sound of horse hooves forced the gangsters to retreat involuntarily.
The bandit leader was sweating profusely from the pain, and his eyes were a little blurry. He felt that the person in front of him looked familiar, but he couldn't quite see it clearly.
Shen Munan stopped his horse and looked down at him: "Where is he?"
The bandit leader's breathing was rapid, and the murderous intent rushing towards his face gradually made his mind clear. This handsome face slowly overlapped with the person in his memory.
He suddenly opened his eyes: "You...you are..."
How can this be?
Didn't it mean that His Highness the King of Qin was suffering from a strange illness and has been ill for a long time?
Now he is sitting on the horse, his murderous intention is deep, his eyes are colder than the light of the sword, how does he look like a dying person?
Look at the silhouette behind him, silent and silent, that is...the Eighteen Cavalry in Black Armor?
According to rumors, the elite among the elite of the King of Qin were the most powerful and the most loyal.
Since the King of Qin returned to the capital, the Eighteen Cavalrymen in Black Armor have also disappeared from the border, and no one knows where they are.
turn out to be!
The bandit leader felt chilled.
It's over.
"Where is he?" Shen Munan asked again, "Don't let me ask a third time."
"We didn't rob anyone tonight, really not! It was true before. Brothers sometimes... were bored and robbed women passing by, or from nearby villages, but there really wasn't anything today."
Shen Munan frowned, feeling densely irritated in his heart.
No? Then where did Gu Yunyao go?
"Your Majesty, please forgive me."
Shen Munan asked: "Whose subordinates are you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the bandit leader suddenly stiffened.
Chunni quickly stepped forward and stood in front of Shen Munan's horse. He looked down at the bandit leader and saw a slender hidden weapon on the back of his neck.
"My lord, he is dead."
Shen Munan's eyes burst with murderous intent: "Break the stronghold!"
"yes!"
With an order, the black-armored cavalry rushed in.
Just at this moment, the sound of gongs suddenly sounded inside again, and someone shouted loudly: "The whistle has been destroyed! Someone attacked the stronghold!"
Before the sound of the gong fell, flames could be seen in the stronghold.
Fire dragons descended from the sky one after another, roaring and landing in various places in the village. The autumn wind caught fire, and the fire quickly spread into one with the power of the wind.
For a moment, the cottage was in chaos. Some people shouted to put out the fire, others shouted for a sneak attack, and all kinds of noises rushed out of the cottage.
The gangsters in front of the door were even more panicked. There were strong enemies in front of them, sneak attacks behind them, and the bandit leader was dead.
Shen Munan quickly rushed into the village. The car was indeed coming here, and there was a ring to guide the way. That kind of medicinal powder should be the only one.
It belongs to Gu Yunyao.
The gang leader must have lied.
He had to find her himself.
The cottage was already in chaos, and with flames blazing into the sky, Shen Munan saw people fighting. Several of them were very skilled. Although there were few people, they cooperated very well. At first glance, they were fighting like a small team in the army.
Shen Munan hurried forward and saw one of them holding two swords in his hands, looking heroic, his body and face stained with blood, and his eyes reflected the firelight, which was astonishingly bright.
She chopped down a gangster, raised her arms and shouted loudly: "Charge! For the victory of our Xiongxiong Ridge, charge!"
A person behind her was trembling, holding a knife in both hands, and shouted: "Rush! To... avenge myself!"
