Chapter 163 Suppressing Bandits (3)
The mountain wall on one side of the natural ravine is gently sloping, and beneath the smoke from cooking fires is a group of mountain stronghold buildings. There are elevated lookout posts on both sides of the village gate, and bandits with machetes on their waists are pacing back and forth on patrol.
Xie Yunshan raised his right hand and gestured to the people behind him to hide.
His sword-like eyebrows were sharp as he scanned the defense of the mountain bandits and talked to Meng Bu Ren beside him, "This layout doesn't look like that of ordinary bandits."
The bandit on the lookout post looked over here. Meng couldn't bear it and lowered his body, revealing a pair of gloomy eyes from behind the bushes, like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark, ready to pounce on its prey at any time.
"The camp has watchtowers and arrow towers, and sentries on both sides. The people who laid it out must have participated in the march."
However, these bandits walked in an untidy manner, and even the way they held their knives was problematic. They should be just bandits who gathered on the spot.
He held the knife handle, ready to rush out at any time, "I will lead a team to break through the gate, you lead the others to go around the back of the camp, take the opportunity to rush in and catch them off guard."
Xie Yunshan frowned and quickly pressed down his shoulders, "What did the old fox say before leaving!"
"Find the lieutenant general first!"
Jiang An, who had been listening with his ears pricked up, patted Xie Yunshan.
Her eyes were bright and she opened her mouth to say something...
Xie Yunshan glared at her and slapped the little girl on the head with his big hand, "No!"
The little girl widened her eyes and puffed her cheeks, "I haven't said anything yet!"
General Xie gave her a slap on the back of his head and said, "No."
Jiang An was furious. This man didn't even give her a chance to finish her words.
The little girl said that she would never tolerate such injustice, and she stood up immediately and stepped heavily on Xie Yunshan's foot with her little boots.
She was extremely strong. The woman's face turned blue and then red, and then red and then black. It was a very interesting scene.
Nianniang quickly pulled the young lady back to squat behind the bushes, silently chanting in her heart: Ancestors...
Jiang An raised his eyebrows and moved closer to General Xie. "Can An An speak now?"
Xie Yunshan glanced at her, then silently moved away from her.
Jiang An: "I can go in with Jiang Si to find someone..."
"An An is small and Jiang Si runs fast, so it's not easy for them to be spotted."
The little girl knew that Jiang Si must be right next to her, so she raised her little head and called his name softly.
"Jiang Si~"
A dark guard dressed in black swooped down from that tree, startling the soldiers lying in ambush nearby, and they almost drew their swords.
Xie Yunshan frowned even more tightly. Although he didn't want to admit it, this was indeed a good idea.
He pinched the little girl's face and said, "Three rules!"
"Well…"
Jiang An blinked his eyes and said, "I know~"
She held up two fingers and said, "Don't act on your own. Protect yourself."
It’s always these, and An An can memorize them all.
The more obedient the little girl was, the more unsure Xie Yunshan felt. He opened his mouth but felt powerless.
He let go of his hand and gently rubbed Jiang An's flushed cheeks a few times.
This was the first time that General Xie felt helpless towards someone. No matter how well this little brat treated him now, he would still do something wrong later.
Anyway, Jiang Si is here, and he has seen the abilities of this secret guard. The little girl will be fine, so he just lets her be.
He put the signal cigarette into Jiang An's hand and said seriously: "Send a signal when you find someone..."
"You can defend yourself, but you are not allowed to kill unless it is an emergency!"
Xie Yunshan still remembered Jiang An, who killed people with a hidden arrow in the Songhu Beiyuan Garden. Her expression was cold and she didn't look like a soft little girl at all.
He knew that Tuanzi, as the daughter of the king of Zhen Wang, was destined to be extraordinary, so he would personally teach her how to use a gun.
But after all, she is still a five-year-old child.
No matter what the future holds, Jiang An's childhood should have been happy and carefree.
The little girl put the signal cigarette in her arms and smiled brightly at Xie Yunshan's worry, "An An, remember it~"
Although he was a little nagging, Jiang An knew that General Xie was concerned about him.
Meng Bu Ren never agreed, but he couldn't bear to say no to the young lady.
I can only walk to Jiang Si and say, "Protect the young lady."
Jiang Si knew him before and they were quite familiar with each other.
He glanced at Meng Bunen, then picked up Jiang An and disappeared into the woods.
Meng couldn't understand what Jiang Si meant by that look. Jiang An was the reason he was alive until now. Even if he died, he would protect his master until the last moment.
After Jiang Si left, Xie Yunshan led a group of people to ambush behind the camp halfway up the mountain, waiting for Jiang An's signal.
Although the defense of the camp was done by the soldiers, the bandits on the sentry post were lax, leaving a loophole for Jiang Si to exploit.
There is no sentry post behind the horse stable on the right side of the camp!
Jiang Si and Jiang An climbed over the wall and entered the camp, approaching the nearby houses without any obstruction.
The little girl got down from the secret guard's arms and tiptoed toward the window of the house.
She quietly lifted a crack and looked inside. There was a large bunk bed in the room, which should be the bandit's residence...
She closed the window without any interest and walked forward.
Jiang Si followed behind his master, and when she wanted to climb through the window, he stood guard.
If anyone approached, Jiang Si would pick up his master and hide in the house.
After a few times, the girl was very familiar with this process. When she heard footsteps, she immediately turned around and clung to Jiang Si like an octopus.
Jiang An led Jiang Si to search from the far right of the camp until they found the kitchen...
After the last person in the kitchen left, the little girl poked her head out from the corner.
Her eyes curved, and the smile at the corner of her mouth revealed a malicious taste.
She just called Jiang Si into the kitchen...
Jiang An first walked to the water tank, lowered his head to look at the water that the bandits used for cooking, and then...
He pulled out a short arrow with a green tip from his sleeve and dipped it in the water.
The originally deadly poison was diluted in a tank of water and lost its original toxicity, but it was enough to make the bandits feel uncomfortable for a while.
In the quiet kitchen, the delicate little girl smiled obscenely at the short arrow.
She even remembered to take the "evidence" away, and also took a big bun with her~
Jiang An stood in front of the kitchen door, took a bite of a big bun, and pointed to the largest house in the camp, "Jiang Si, let's go over there and take a look!"
Jiang Si nodded silently, picked up his master and rushed in that direction like a gust of wind.
Just after they left, the cook who had returned muttered, "What kind of chicken are we eating..."
"Why is the new leader so troublesome!"
Another person beside him interrupted him, "Keep your voice down, didn't you see how tragically that person died?"
"..."
The house that Jiang An pointed to was in the very center of the camp, and the meeting hall was facing the gate.
There were a lot of people walking back and forth here, and the little girl directed Jiang Si to stop at the rear window.
She saw that there were more guards in the row of houses on the right, and there were bandits dragging people in.
This seems to be where they hold the captives.
"Jiang Si, go take a look~"
She squatted beside the big vat and hid herself there.
Jiang Si didn't move, his calm eyes were full of resistance. He couldn't leave his master here.
The little girl pouted and patted herself, "An An is very well behaved and won't wander around. I'll be waiting for you here."
"If you see the lieutenant general, bring him out..."
Jiang Si: "Wait for me here."
Jiang An nodded, "Yeah!"
Watching the secret guard stepping on the horizontal railing and flying towards the row of houses, the little girl squatted there with her mouth wide open in envy.
She took a bite of the bun and her ears moved.
Through a layer of wooden boards, Jiang An heard someone walk into the room he was leaning against behind him.
