Seeing the wild wolf, Liu Qiaoer quickly returned to the assembly point and woke up Cui Boxiao and everyone else.
"There are wolves, lots of them. Let's get ready. We're going to have a tough fight tonight."
Hearing that there were wolves, everyone got up all at once, and only heard Cheng give the order: "Form a formation."
Nine people were divided into groups of three and stationed in three places, with cliffs behind them.
Cui Boxiao and Liu Qiaoer stood in the southeast direction. Liu Qiaoer quietly handed the telescope to Cui Boxiao: "See where we are?"
Cui Boxiao pushed the telescope away: "You can see it with your eyes, look at that green..."
Sure enough, the pack of wolves were already in front of them.
Cui Boxiao took out a bow and arrow, aimed at the wolf, and shot it with a "whoosh".
The wolf leader dodged nimbly and quickly pounced on Liu Qiaoer.
Liu Qiaoer screamed and dodged.
"Oh my god, this wolf has chased us here."
This was not some other wolf but the one that Cui Boxiao and Liu Qiaoer had fought at the Taoist temple. It had run away at first, but unexpectedly, it chased them again when Liu Qiaoer arrived.
Wolves are indeed very smart and vengeful animals.
The ensuing fight was even more intense than the last time. There were only a dozen of them, but there were more than twenty wolves. Moreover, the wolves were well deployed when fighting, and they cooperated well with each other.
One pounced and the other bit. If everyone had not experienced fighting, I'm afraid someone would have died here.
Liu Qiaoer also took out a dagger and cooperated with Cui Boxiao to kill the wolf together.
The leader wolf was so vicious and cunning that Liu Qiaoer tried to kill it several times but failed.
The key point is that there are four wolves around, which attracts Cui Boxiao. Cui Boxiao fights hard and tells Liu Qiaoer: "Be careful."
Liu Qiaoer dodged the attack from the wolf again, rolled on the ground and rolled to the side.
After taking a look at the cliff beside her, Liu Qiaoer released Long Batian.
"Lead it to the edge of a cliff..."
Just as Long Batian was about to attack, the other two wolves pounced on him. Long Batian killed one, but the other one bit his arm.
Liu Qiaoer had no choice but to rush over and kill the wolf.
The leader wolf took the opportunity to pounce on Liu Qiaoer. Cui Boxiao was entangled by the other two wolves and could not come to rescue. Wen Cheng saw it and came over to kill the wolf.
Unexpectedly, the wolf pounced on Liu Qiaoer in a fake way, and actually pounced on Cui Boxiao who was not far away from Liu Qiaoer.
Liu Qiaoer and Wen Chengdu rushed over to Cui Boxiao to make amends.
Long Batian also stabbed the wolf to death, turned around and swung his sword at the leader of the wolves, stabbing the wolf and barely saving Cui Boxiao.
Liu Qiaoer and Wen Cheng also killed the two wolves that were entangled with Cui Boxiao, one on the left and one on the right.
Liu Qiaoer, Wen Cheng, Cui Boxiao and Long Batian were fighting against the wolf leader. The wolf was cunning and saw that he had little chance of winning, so he howled and summoned his companions.
Wen Cheng saw the other wolves turning to attack them. Wen Cheng and Long Batian dealt with the other wolves, while Liu Qiaoer and Cui Boxiao continued to deal with the leader wolf.
Liu Qiaoer said angrily: "We must kill it today, otherwise, we may not be able to get down the mountain."
Cui Boxiao: "Okay."
Liu Qiaoer quietly took out a gun. Cui Boxiao's eyes flashed and he raised his long knife: "I'll lead it, and you have to shoot accurately."
Cui Boxiao rushed forward, and the wolf leader also rushed over. Cui Boxiao suddenly knelt down, and the wolf leader passed over his head. At this time, Liu Qiaoer pulled the trigger and hit the wolf leader's body.
The leader wolf had sustained several wounds, but it did not retreat at all and continued to fight with Liu Qiaoer.
The gun Liu Qiaoer used was silenced, so she didn't alert anyone else, but it caused considerable damage to the leader wolf.
The wolf leader pounced towards Liu Qiaoer again, and Liu Qiaoer aimed at its eyes and hit it again.
The leader wolf howled and fell down. Just when Liu Qiaoer thought that the leader wolf would continue to attack, suddenly, she heard a roar.
The leader wolf was stunned for a moment, then suddenly turned around and ran away.
Cui Boxiao quickly came to Liu Qiaoer's side and said, "Run! The bear is coming! It is more cunning and fiercer than a wolf."
Liu Qiaoer nodded, called the other soldiers, and ran down the mountain together.
The bear came and first looked at Liu Qiaoer and the others, seeing that there were many of them. Then he looked at the pack of wolves, seeing that there were only a few of them and some were injured. So he chased after the wolves.
Liu Qiaoer, Cui Boxiao and others ran for a long time before they stopped, panting, and reached the halfway point of the mountain.
"Alright, the bear shouldn't be chasing us anymore. Let's check on the injured brothers and take a rest before we set off again."
It was already daybreak. They had originally planned to go down the mountain today, but they had already walked most of the way. They did not get enough rest in the middle of the night and everyone was extremely tired.
Liu Qiaoer began to bandage the injured.
Cui Boyao asked people to prepare food and boil water for everyone.
Wen Cheng was still frightened: "It was really dangerous. I only heard that there were wolves in the mountains, but I didn't expect there were so many. We once encountered two of them. They had no power to fight back because we were outnumbered. Now I know how powerful they are."
Liu Qiaoer looked at the horizon. The dawn was approaching and it was time for them to set off.
"Let's go. There is a village at the foot of the mountain. Let's go to the village to rest and follow the villagers into the city."
The group came down the mountain and entered the village, but they did not harass the villagers. Instead, they found a place to rest and eat. Then they split up and went into the city in disguise.
When they really arrived at Liangzhou City, they found that the management here was not as strict as the previous cities. It was still a scene of peace and prosperity, as if the civil unrest in the capital and the strict security of the border city had not affected them.
Liu Qiaoer and Cui Boyao dressed up as an old couple and supported each other as they walked into the city.
Liu Qiaoer: "Liangzhou City is governed well by King Xiang."
Cui Boxiao: "Prince Xiang is a talented person, but he is very ambitious. If he really cares about the people, he would definitely not want to be the emperor."
Yes, governing a country is one thing, but being too ambitious is another.
Cui Boxiao and others came to the Yingkelai Inn and directly booked the backyard. They came too quickly and had to wait for another day before the squad leader of the Zhenbei Army came to meet them.
Cui Boxiao and Liu Qiaoer had already figured out the location of Prince Xiang's mansion.
He also inquired about the whereabouts of King Xiang.
King Xiang was injured by Marquis Zhennan in the capital, so he returned all the way to Liangzhou and immediately started a rebellion. However, his old injuries were too severe and he fell into a coma.
Liu Qiaoer couldn't help but sigh: "It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early."
Cui Boxiao was a little worried: "The elite troops of King Xiang are all outside the city. How can we attract them here? Then we can capture them all in one fell swoop."
Liu Qiaoer thought for a moment and said, "We will first enter the Prince of Xiang's mansion and ask him to issue an order to call them back, and then we will capture them all in one fell swoop. Without a leader, someone will surely take the lead in avenging the Prince of Xiang. We will spread the word that it was the Zhenbei Army who did it, and then they will surely lead their elite troops northward and fall into our trap."
Cui Boxiao nodded: "One thing leads to another, not bad."
That evening, Cui Boyao announced the tasks for each team leader.
Because there were only fifty or sixty people entering the city in the end, Cui Boxiao told the brothers outside the city not to enter the city, but to meet up with Pei Gang and set up an ambush.
Fifty or sixty people in the city cooperated with Cui Boxiao and Liu Qiaoer, and they wanted to burn down Prince Xiang's mansion.
Everything was ready. Tian Yong gathered the people in the city and dispersed them to Prince Xiang's palace.
Cui Boxiao and Liu Qiaoer came to the backyard wall of Prince Xiang's Mansion.
Tian Yong looked at them worriedly: "Master Cui, Miss Liu, there are only two of you, you must be careful."
