Chapter 374 Let’s not put too much effort into things that can be solved with money.

At the same time, there was a farmhouse on a mountain near Linfengdu in the north.

Qingyu led two thousand northern soldiers and surrounded the mountain from top to bottom. At this moment, the soldiers were searching the mountain everywhere.

In the farmhouse, after passing through the secret passage in the kitchen, we arrived at Murong Xuan's secret guard training ground. But today, the training ground was not as crowded as it was that day. At first glance, it looked extremely empty, with only many weapons placed everywhere. , as well as training equipment, and a lot of stored food.

for a long time.

A secret guard came over and cursed: "Qingyu, there is a small tunnel over there that leads to Linfeng Ferry. We asked at Linfeng Ferry and did not see a large number of people passing there. I guess Murong Xuan was afraid of attracting attention, so the remaining people left in batches."

"The people captured by farmers outside now look like ordinary farmers. When asked, they all said they didn't know what their masters did. They were only responsible for growing food. At present, it seems very likely, otherwise Murong Xuan wouldn't be able to Leave them behind and run away with the secret guards."

"However, there is quite a lot of food stored. Not only here, the farmers outside also found a lot of food."

Qingyu smiled and said, "Yes, it's okay to harvest a lot of food. It won't be in vain. Marquis Wu An has already expected that Murong Xuan will evacuate, otherwise he wouldn't have only given this small force. He didn't take action before because he was afraid of arousing the enemy."

"It seems that Murong Xuan is very vigilant. After the failure of the night attack that day, Murong Xuan probably started to evacuate. However, Marquis Wu An has been searching everywhere, and he will find it sooner or later. If not for the other generals. While we are busy, it is not our turn to pick up this ready-made stall."

"Tell everyone to count all the weapons and food carefully so that they can be handed over to the court."

The secret guard bowed and responded: "Okay, received. Hey... Qingyu, we harvested so many things today, why didn't the master come to see it?"

Qingyu curled his lips and said: "There are a lot of these things, but they are not as important as meeting the eldest lady earlier. Alas... Master has not seen the eldest lady for a long time, and he can't wait to run to see the eldest lady." Miss."

The secret guard also had a bad smile on his face: "Yeah, well, that makes sense. Qingyu, if the master knows that you arranged him like this, you will be in trouble."

Hearing this, Qingyu narrowed his eyes, smiled evilly and asked, "Do you dare to say it?"

The secret guard instantly shuddered and said hurriedly: "No, I don't dare, I absolutely don't dare. You are my eldest brother. You have to believe me. My younger brother only respects you and will never dare to make a report."

Qingyu just smiled with satisfaction: "Well... that's pretty much it."

"By the way, take all those farmers back and lock them up. No one is allowed to go without the master's order. When Murong Xuan's matter is settled, he will be handed over to Marquis Wu An."

The secret guard responded: "Okay, I will arrange it."

Qingyu stretched out and complained: "Oh, after coming to the north, I don't have any leisure time, and I am exhausted. Okay, I will go and deliver a message to the master. You and your brothers will count them first." "

The secret guard immediately smiled and said, "Okay!"

······

At the same time, there was a cottage on a mountain a hundred miles away.

At this moment, in the distance in front of the village, there are many figures covered by vegetation, all lying quietly on the ground, waiting...

for a long time.

Yun Zhan and Yun Cheng looked up at the clock, and then, with a wave of their hands, the figures covered in vegetation slowly moved forward... so well-trained that they made very little sound. ······

Soon, those figures were gradually approaching the front of the village.

Suddenly, a guard at the entrance of the cottage frowned and looked around quickly:

"what happened?"

"Did you hear anything?"

"sound?"

"No."

"No? No, I just heard a noise! ​​Keep an eye on it, I'll go take a look from the front."

"Okay, you go." At this moment, Yun Zhan and Yun Cheng, who were hiding in the grass, smiled. Yes, these people are quite vigilant.

Then, Yun Zhan and Yun Cheng exchanged glances with each other, and they understood, and a smile flashed in their eyes.

The guard walked forward slowly, staring at the bushes in front of him as he walked. His eyes kept scanning between the bushes, wondering and murmuring: "Did I really hear it wrong?"

Suddenly, he frowned and his steps stopped for an instant. No, the color of the vegetation was wrong. The color of the vegetation in front of the village was not that dark!

He shouted hurriedly: "Yes..."

However, before he finished speaking, at the same time, Yun Zhan flew forward at an extremely fast speed. In the next breath, the sword in his hand was already at the guard's neck. In the next breath, with a stroke of the sword, the guard It was an instant death!

At the same time, on the other side, the crossbow arrow in Yun Cheng's hand was shot out instantly!

At this moment, the guards in front of the stronghold had heard the noise, and they all drew their swords to meet the enemy.

However, before the sword was unsheathed, the crossbow arrow fired by Yun Cheng had already hit the lintel of the cottage! The black ball on the crossbow exploded instantly, and the smoke dispersed!

The next breath, several guards in front of the cottage gate fell... bang... bang... in response to the sound!

In the next breath, hundreds of figures that had been hiding in the grass rushed out instantly without saying a word!

Most of the people rushed into the cottage at high speed, while a small number of people instantly surrounded the cottage from the outside to prevent anyone from escaping in the chaos.

One thing that is very special about them is that everyone has a piece of cloth tied to their nose, and the piece of cloth is soaked in antidote.

The last time Yang Qing sneaked into the mountain stronghold, he had already figured out the general terrain of the mountain stronghold, and had been standing still because he could not alert the enemy.

At this moment, they all rushed to the designated area quickly according to their original tasks, and then shot the crossbow arrows in their hands!

Soon, bang...bang...bang...the sound of black balls cracking was heard, and lots of smoke filled the air in different areas...

In less than a quarter of an hour, the entire village was filled with smoke!

Some of Murong Xuan's secret guards in the cottage had already inhaled the drug and collapsed before they could react! Some saw the intruder and fell down before their swords were even unsheathed! Some also drew their swords and fell down just as they were about to stab them! Only a pair of eyes filled with astonishment slowly closed! Bang... Bang... Bang... Then the sound of falling to the ground was heard!

Soon, the sound of falling to the ground disappeared. Soon, the smoke gradually dissipated, and the situation in the village was clear. As far as the eye could see, on the ground, at the railings, in the martial arts training ground, etc., there were Murong Xuan who fell to the ground and was unconscious one by one. guard.

At this moment, Yun Zhan's voice sounded: "You should keep an eye on the outside and don't let some fish that slip through the net escape."

People outside responded loudly: "Don't worry, no one can escape."

Yun Cheng smiled proudly: "Come on, Yunzhan, let's close the stall."

Yun Zhan also smiled proudly: "Okay, let's go."

Soon, Yun Zhan and his two brothers had bundled up all the secret guards in the village! Not only that, all the food and weapons in the village are also packed! Finally, ready-made carts and horses were taken from the village and prepared to use them to transport people and food!

At this moment, a brother came over and reported: "Yun Zhan, the number of people has been counted. There are eighty-seven people in total."

Yun Zhan smiled proudly: "That's right. We didn't lose a single soldier and gained a lot."

Yun Cheng also smiled and said: "Well... Master said, it's just a small village. It's not worth spending too much manpower to attack. With just these few people, it doesn't cost much to use some poison. It can be used." If money can solve the problem, let’s not put too much effort into it!”

Yun Zhan smiled and said: "Yes, the master is really wise!"

Yun Cheng said: "Oh, there are still more than a dozen people with the master. I don't know what is going on now? That is also a danger!"

Yun Zhan said: "Don't worry, let's close the stall here quickly, and then rush over there, maybe we can help."

"That's right." Yun Cheng shouted: "Brothers, search again quickly and take away everything you can. Move faster."

"Okay!" All the brothers smiled proudly and quickly started working quickly.

·······

At the same time, in the north, on a mountain road.
