Main Text Chapter 166: Danger (V)
In Donglai Cave, the beasts who had caught a group of maids and vented their anger were refreshed and full of energy. They were wreaking havoc everywhere in Donglai Cave.
Yuan Zhengkun, who rushed through the mountain gate on a dragon horse, waved his long halberd and rushed back and forth twice. With a rumble, the tall mountain gate archway of Donglai Cave collapsed.
His subordinates charged everywhere, and houses collapsed one after another.
Several dragon horses went in and out of the Donglai Hall several times, rushing back and forth. After several rounds, the Donglai Hall was reduced to ruins in the smoke and dust that rose up.
Yuan Zhengkun, who rushed back, swept the long halberd in his hand, and the carved railings by the pond collapsed and flew everywhere. He turned back and shouted to everyone: "Smash it, smash it hard for me, and destroy everything that can be destroyed!"
Houses, corridors, pavilions, and beautiful buildings were instantly turned into ruins.
In the square, more than a dozen disheveled and even "ci luo" maids were either lying or sitting, some looked dull, some covered their faces and cried, and some had blood on their lower bodies after being destroyed.
A fairyland that was originally seen as a paradise by ordinary mortals was now full of ruins.
At this moment, Chen Fei led the three riders and rushed back quickly. When they rushed to Yuan Zhengkun's side, they were all stunned by the situation around them.
"Master Yuan, why is this so?" Chen Fei frowned.
He was originally from Donglai Cave and had some feelings for Donglai Cave. Seeing that Donglai Cave was destroyed into ruins by Yuan Zhengkun, he felt a little unhappy.
Yuan Zhengkun didn't care, "Brother Chen, if you want to lure the enemy in, you have to provoke them."
Feng Chen took a deep breath. The situation was urgent, and he didn't want to dwell on it any more. He bowed and said, "Qin Weiwei's troops are almost here. Please make preparations early, Master Yuan."
"So fast?" Yuan Zhengkun was surprised. According to the planned design, Qin Weiwei shouldn't be so fast.
He didn't know that Qin Weiwei had already received the news that Donglai Cave might be attacked in advance.
"Collect the troops!" Yuan Zhengkun turned back and shouted.
The scattered and destructive troops quickly gathered back, but Yuan Zhengkun's eyes were fixed on the group of maids.
Feng Chen sighed in his heart, knowing that this guy might kill Qin Weiwei in order to provoke her. If Brother Miao knew about it, he would be furious.
"These slaves have heard what we said. Don't let the news leak out."
As Yuan Zhengkun gave an order, a group of maids were dragged away screaming, and they were hanged one by one on the broken beams of the Donglai Hall with their belts.
Those who were not hanged at once were either strangled or stabbed.
The maids, who were disheveled and even "ci luo", were hung in a row, with their tongues sticking out and their eyes wide open. Some of them were still dripping blood from their lower bodies. It was a horrible sight.
The sound of hooves came from afar, and Yuan Zhengkun immediately waved his halberd and shouted, "Line up to meet the enemy!"
The twelve riders led by Yuan Zhengkun immediately lined up in a row, each holding a weapon.
In front, seventy riders led by Qin Weiwei advanced rapidly and saw the culprit who had left Donglai Cave in ruins.
As if seeing that Qin Weiwei's troops were too numerous to be matched, Yuan Zhengkun immediately shouted: "The enemy is numerous and we are few! Retreat!"
The twelve riders immediately turned around and ran away.
The troops who rushed into Donglai Cave paused for a moment, and looked around the ruins of Donglai Cave, which was so damaged that it was shocking.
In the scramble for territory, it is rare to see people do this, because even if they take it down, they will have trouble rebuilding it.
The miserable appearance of the dozen maids hanging on the broken beams of the hall made Qin Weiwei's pretty face as cold as frost to the extreme. She waved her snake spear and pointed it in the direction of the enemy's escape in a cold tone, "Yan Xiu left this to guide the follow-up reinforcements, and the others followed me to kill! Don't let any of those beasts go, I will cut them into pieces!"
Everyone immediately followed Qin Weiwei and urgently chased the fleeing enemies!
Yan Xiu was left sitting on the dragon horse with tears in his eyes, looking at his home that was destroyed beyond recognition.
He had been practicing for so many years and had lived in a humble manner. It was not until he joined Donglai Cave that he found the dignity of being a human being and became the chief steward of Donglai Cave. He had already regarded Donglai Cave as his home. Now that his home was destroyed like this, how could he not be sad?
The cold wind blew, making Yan Xiu shiver. He didn't know what he thought of. He quickly jumped off the dragon horse and ran to the broken beams where more than a dozen maids were hanged. He carefully identified them one by one, but he didn't see the two half-disciples among the hanged maids.
He counted the number of people again and found that there were just two people missing. Qian'er and Xue'er were indeed not among them.
"Qian'er! Xue'er..."
Yan Xiu cast a spell and shouted loudly around for a long time, but no one responded, so he went into the ruins and searched everywhere.
He searched for a long time, and searched every corner of the collapsed ruins, but still couldn't find it, and the whole person was covered in dust.
At this time, another group of people rushed over urgently. The leader was Gongsun Yu, who was known as the best master of Zhenhai Mountain. He was originally a close follower of Yang Qing and was considered Yang Qing's confidant. He had the cultivation level of the eighth level of White Lotus.
It is said that this person has been pursuing the mountain owner Qin Weiwei. The whole Nanxuan Mansion knows about this. For this reason, the mansion owner Yang Qing also privately asked Qin Weiwei's opinion. If Qin Weiwei agreed, he could come forward to match them up. As a result, Qin Weiwei mocked him for being boring, so Yang Qing did not get a definite answer.
What is the extent of the relationship between Gongsun Yu and Qin Weiwei? Even Yang Qing can't figure it out, so outsiders naturally can't know.
However, as soon as he received the message from Qin Weiwei's eagle, he did not delay at all and immediately led his men to rush here urgently.
Fearing that Qin Weiwei might be in danger, he rushed here at the fastest speed without stopping for a moment. However, due to the distance, he still could not catch up with Qin Weiwei even if he rushed faster.
The miserable situation of Donglai Cave in front of him also shocked Gongsun Yu. His eyes fell on Yan Xiu, who was covered in dust in the ruins. He immediately rode the dragon horse and rushed over, shouting angrily: "What do you do in Donglai Cave? Where is your cave master Miao Yi? Why did you make it like this?"
The news of Miao Yi's departure was still blocked to most people, and he didn't know that Miao Yi was not there.
Yan Xiu sobbed and blamed himself: "I am incompetent!"
"A bunch of trash!" Gongsun Yu hit Yan Xiu on the shoulder with a gun, bang! He knocked Yan Xiu to his knees in the ruins, and pointed another gun at Yan Xiu's chest, shouting again: "I came here on the orders of the mountain master, can I see the mountain master's whereabouts?"
Yan Xiu choked and pointed back at the direction where Qin Weiwei was chasing, "The mountain master led his troops to chase the fleeing enemy."
"Useless trash!" Gongsun Yu snorted coldly, as if he was disdainful of dawdling with such trash, turned back and raised his gun and shouted: "Go!"
A team of people did not make any turns, and under the leadership of Gongsun Yu, they stepped directly through the ruins of Donglai Cave and urgently chased Qin Weiwei.
Yan Xiu got on his dragon horse again and started running in the mountains and forests, holding the last glimmer of hope to look for him everywhere. His shouts were constantly heard in the mountains and forests, "Qian'er...Xue'er..."
At this time, Yang Qing was also on his way to Donglai Cave in an emergency, and he also rushed all the way at the fastest speed without stopping.
However, the area of the entire Nanxuan Prefecture is much larger than that of Zhenhai Mountain, and the speed of gathering people and horses is definitely not as fast as that of Zhenhai Mountain. Yang Qing only gathered people and horses from the two mountains along the way.
On the way, a eagle came across the sky and landed on Qingmei's arm. Qingmei quickly took out the jade book from the eagle's foot tube and handed it to Yang Qing.
After Yang Qing read the information in the jade book, his face sank, and he crushed the jade book into powder. As he expected, the other party was indeed premeditated, and Zhang Decheng of Changping Prefecture had already made a big move.
By the time the news reached Yang Qing, there was already a delay. Zhang Decheng, who had made preparations in advance, was about to arrive at the designated location and had gathered most of his men. The others would arrive soon. The situation of waiting for the enemy to fall into the trap had gradually formed, waiting for the opponent to fall into the trap...
The leader of Qinglin Cave, Meng Yide, who had retreated in advance, had gradually scattered his men on the way back as sentinels. The news that Qin Weiwei had been chasing Yuan Zhengkun all the way was passed back to Meng Yide.
Meng Yide himself was beside the mountain leader Duan Jirui, constantly relaying the news to Duan Jirui. Qin Weiwei had been lured into the trap step by step.
At this moment, Duan Jirui and others suddenly turned back and saw a large group of people rushing over the mountains and ridges.
Duan Jirui immediately turned his horse back to greet them, and led a group of people to jump off the dragon horse and bowed, saying: "Greetings to the Lord of the Mansion."
The person who came was the Lord of Changping Mansion, Zhang Decheng, who led a team. Duan Jirui was somewhat surprised. The Lord of the Mansion seemed to have arrived quite a while earlier. How could he be here before he had a formal fight with Qin Weiwei?
He didn't know that Yang Qing had already set off earlier, causing the Lord of the Mansion to advance the plan, which was a little bit of a collision.
"What's the situation?" Zhang Decheng asked directly.
"As the Lord of the Mansion expected, Qin Weiwei is about to fall into the trap we set." Duan Jirui replied.
"It seems that Yang Qing is about to arrive. It is estimated that Yang Qing can only gather the troops of the two mountains at most. There is no need to worry." Zhang Decheng sneered twice and said decisively: "Mei Yu, Sheng Huaigang, Lin Xutian, Xu Zida!"
"Here!" The four mountain masters under his command stepped forward to receive the order.
"The four of you lead your troops and horses, go 20 miles forward, and ambush in the mountains on both sides. Don't show up until Yang Qing arrives. When Yang Qing breaks in, the four of you immediately cut off his path. I don't ask you to kill Yang Qing, but I just want to cut off his wings. When that happens, Yang Qing, who is alone and trapped in our encirclement, will have no way out."
"Yes!" The four of them accepted the order.
"Remember, Yang Qing is a treacherous man with strategies. He may send people to check on us, so you should keep a distance from him and don't let him find you."
"Understood." The four of them agreed.
"Duan Jirui, Luo Wuqing!"
"Here!" The two mountain masters came forward to accept the order.
"Leave the task of besieging Qin Weiwei to you two. In this situation where the enemy is few and we are many, if you two join forces and still let Qin Weiwei escape, I will punish you two!" (To be continued.)
