There was something he didn't dare say in front of Xie An.

That is, when he returns to Beijing, he will finally have something to brag about in front of Sister Xi.

Otherwise, Xijie'er would always think that he was a good-for-nothing who only knew how to eat all day long and could do nothing else!

"I'll go with you!"

A man behind him said.

Turning around, it was Zhao Chongjiu.

He was a big, dark-faced man. He said he was an honest farmer in the past. His father, mother and wife were all dead at home, and he was very sad to go back.

"I'll go up the mountain with you to rescue them. I know quite a few of them, and I'll tell them what I've seen and heard. Let them all come back and go back to their farms."

"And I!"

"I'll go as well."

Suddenly several more men came out.

Xie An and the others were moved, but they didn't know that these people were actually secret guards sent by Li Ji to follow them and protect them.

"Okay, without further ado, let's change our dirty clothes and leave now."

"go!"

……

Taking advantage of darkness, Xie An and his companions returned to the mountain stronghold.

The Shanzhai group was a loose bunch, and their daily training was just a formality, with no one really taking it seriously. Instead of wasting time on this, they'd rather just hang out and have a drink together!

So during the training the next day, the young leader in charge of Zhang Laoqi's group didn't even notice that several people were missing from his team.

As soon as the little leader finished his lecture and left as usual, Zhao Chongjiu and the others started to take action.

However, to be safe, they all started with those honest farmers.

Sure enough, when they heard that Zhang Laoqi and his friends had slipped out last night and had not returned yet, and that they were not caught, but were living a good life with good food and drink, their hearts flew away.

I can’t wait to leave!

After finally getting a break, everyone tacitly ran to the cliff behind the mountain, running faster than antelopes along the path that had been trampled out to be more than one person wide.

Xie An sent someone to take them down the mountain.

He will lead others to develop the next batch.

After two days, there were actually fewer people in the village.

Only then did the small leaders realize that something was wrong.

"Huh? Why are the trainees getting fewer and fewer? Where did they all go? Are they still lying in bed? What lazy bastards! Let's go and take a look. I'll beat them to death!"

The small leaders grabbed their weapons and headed towards the barracks.

The so-called barracks are actually just thatched huts built with a few pieces of wood.

The barracks were empty, there was nothing in them.

"God damn it, where are the people? Where did they all go? Did they all get away?"

Now they were really worried.

I went to ask the sentry, and found that he was holding a bottle of wine and sleeping soundly!

Huba mixed in with the small leaders.

He and Helan Yue had noticed something was amiss long ago. They had even secretly followed Zhang Laoqi and the others the night they left.

The three people in the lead looked suspicious, and they recognized them at a glance as the young master of the Xie family and two young princes.

There are also Zhao Chongjiu and a few others, they have also seen them.

So, when Zhao Chongjiu and the others returned to the mountain stronghold, Helan Yue secretly contacted them.

Our mission is to cover the evacuation of the people.

The more the better.

At this moment, Huba saw the little leader about to report, and put his arm around his shoulder and said:

"General, there are quite a few of them. If they all escape, the king will definitely blame them. Then, you will not be able to escape punishment."

Upon hearing the punishment, another small leader also became frightened and said in panic with a red nose:

"I seem to have heard that the military advisor saw that the military discipline in the mountain stronghold was lax a few days ago, so he wrote 108 rules of military discipline and presented them to the king, saying that anyone who violated the rules would be severely punished."

"Brother, with so many people running away, we won't be made an example of and used as a warning to others!"

As they talked, several small leaders became a little scared.

Originally, they were just small hooligans and street urchins who came to the mountains just to make a living. If they were successful, they could become generals, deputy generals, captains, etc. If they were not successful, at least they would have enough food and drink.

But if I am beheaded and the military discipline is enforced before I can make anything of myself, it really is not worth it!

Huba keeps up the good work,

"Brother, it's not necessary!"

"Yeah, that's not necessary!"

"But, what should I do?"

A small leader suddenly had an idea and said cleverly:

"Brother, why don't we run away too? The world is so big, is there no place for us to eat?"

"Okay! Just do it!"

After a few guys discussed it, they decided to just go all out and run away.

Soon, they followed the traces and found the back mountain. Seeing the wide road in the back mountain that was trampled out by so many people, they looked at each other in surprise.

How many people must have walked this path to create such a path?

Go! Go quickly!

Can't stop for a moment!

Several people quickly went down the mountain along the road.

Huba led his men at the end, smoothing out all traces of going down the mountain.

……

In the cottage.

Zhou Kui and his men were drinking heavily, only Pei Yan was still thinking about how to deal with the government's encirclement and suppression.

It was reported that the government had sent a thousand men to encircle and suppress the stronghold. After so many years of training, this would be his first battle against the government's regular troops.

In this battle, casualties are inevitable.

But the mountain stronghold was steep and rugged; as long as we held the valley entrance directly in front, we could defend the pass with one man and ten thousand men would be unable to break through! As for the cliffs behind, they were so rarely visited that even birds dared not go there.

There are thousands of soldiers in the stronghold, with so much food stored up, and he has gunpowder in his hands, so he is sure to win this battle.

As long as he wins slightly, the reputation of his Dragon Slaying Village will become known throughout the world.

At that time, he will be able to send out invitations to heroes, calling on righteous men all over the world to raise the banner of rebellion, and the spark will eventually become a prairie fire.

Thinking of this, he thought of catkins again.

This name has accompanied him for half his life.

Liu Xu’s help was indispensable on his road to success. Liu Xu taught him many new ideas, skills and experiences, and he benefited a lot from them.

However, Liu Xu was also wary of him.

The core parts of many skills are not told to him.

For example, he never got the hang of making muskets.

So now, even though he has gunpowder in his hands, he still cannot make a musket.

If he had the strength he had in his previous life, he wouldn't have to hide in the village.

Thinking of this, he hated Liu Catkins a little bit.

It seems that there is a trace of him killing Liu Xu in this life.

As night fell, he walked out of the village.

Standing on the sentry post at the valley entrance and looking into the distance, you can see faint lights from the soldiers' camp outside the valley.

Tomorrow is the big battle.

He, Pei Yanding, became famous in one battle.

But after turning around and taking a few steps, he sensed something was wrong.

Why was the village, which used to be brightly lit and bustling with people, so quiet tonight? Even the lights were sparse.

"Go and tell the leaders of each camp to come to me! Immediately!"

Pei Yan had a bad feeling.
