Chapter 137

  Cheng Dali was at Su's house when Li Ru had already secretly sent someone to inform the city officials and soldiers.

  The officers and soldiers arrived a bit late.

  It's unrealistic to expect a high level of efficiency from the government in this era. After Li spent a lot of effort and money, he finally met someone in the city who had the power to mobilize troops.

  As soon as the other side heard that it was Cheng Dairen, they suddenly became like a formidable enemy. Originally, they wanted to pretend not to know, but only after knowing that Cheng Dairen was alone did they start to have some foolish and ambitious thoughts.

  If we can catch this troublemaker Cheng Dairen, it will be a great achievement.

  But this thunder is absolutely not to be underestimated!

  This man kills people without blinking, the old, weak, women and children are all ghosts under his axe. What's even more frightening is that legend has it that this person also knows immortal magic, catching him won't be an easy task.

  Then, General Qiao Ye mobilized all the officials and soldiers he could mobilize, ten squads, a full thousand people.

  A large army arrived at Su's house, and Cheng Dalai had already left. Then Qiao Ye brought people to the small courtyard where Su Qing lived, surrounded the outer three layers and inner three layers, before daring to enter the yard.

  In front of him were shield-bearing soldiers, and someone was holding a bucket of black dog blood, ready to pour it on Cheng Dairen at any moment.

  "Cheng Dali, don't be stubborn, you already..."

  "I surrender." Cheng Dairen raised his hands high.

  "Huh!" Qiao Ye found it somewhat strange that this legendary Cheng Da Lei didn't seem very impressive.

  "Cheng's surname, don't play tricks, you dare to move a little, my people can make you pierced by ten thousand arrows."

  "I will never make a move, and I don't want your people to shoot arrows randomly either. Let's talk things through calmly."

  Qiao Ye stared intently at Cheng Dairen, focusing on his shoulders and knees.

  "Go get him, catch him."

  Several officers and soldiers were intimidated and dared not approach.

  "What's there to be afraid of? He's just one person. You're all scared!" Qiao Ye was furious at his subordinates for not being brave enough.

  "Boss, he's Cheng Dairen, I've heard this guy is very capable!"

  "Hmph!" Qiao Ye waved his hand: "Let the shield-bearing soldiers take him away and put handcuffs and shackles on him."

  The result was smoother than expected, but the process was made very troublesome by Qiao Ye. In the end, Cheng Dairen had heavy handcuffs on his hands and feet.

  So, Qiao Ye slightly relieved, he rushed towards Cheng Da Lei and said: "Alright, come over here, don't play any tricks!"

  Cheng Dali stood still on the spot.

  "Why don't you come over and try something?" Qiao Ye gripped his knife handle tightly.

  "Nonsense, can I even move?" Cheng Dalai was speechless. This pair of handcuffs weighed over a hundred pounds, pulling Cheng Dalai down to the ground with great force.

  "Take him away!"

  Qiao Ye didn't make things difficult for Su Qing and Xiao Die. Su Qing stood at the door, looking worried as she gazed at Cheng Da Lei.

  "Don't worry." Cheng Dairen was carried on the shoulders of several soldiers, waving to Su Ying and Xiao Die: "I'll be back!"

  ……

  Xu Shenji went to the brothel after parting with Cheng Dali, and his attire and appearance were naturally not the kind that would be welcomed by the brothel.

  As soon as he entered the door, he was blocked by the old prostitute, who sized up Xu Shenji with a pair of professional and greedy eyes.

  "Do you have money?"

  "You think you're better than me with that dog's eyes? I'll take out the silver..." Xu Shenji slapped his waist, and his face changed instantly.

  The old procuress cackled and said: "Come on, get out of here! You're in the wrong place, making a show of yourself and cheating people!"

  Xu Shenji didn't get his wish fulfilled by drinking the intoxicating flower wine, and was even ridiculed by others, almost getting beaten up by the brothel's big stick.

  As soon as he was blown by the cold wind, he thought it was done by Cheng Dali. This bastard, went to find a girl himself, but stole my money and didn't let me go drinking!

  When did the master of the house become so skilled at thievery?

  No way, he ruins his own good deeds and also goes to ruin others' good deeds.

  Xu Shenji brought a gust of resentment, all the way muttering and cursing, summoning the 18th generation ancestors of Cheng Dali.

  He walked halfway and suddenly remembered that he didn't know where Su Qing lived. And Xu Shenji of Luoyecity was not familiar with him, it seemed like... he was lost.

  At this moment, I suddenly heard a commotion around me. A large group of soldiers passed by on the road. Xu Shenji thought that these soldiers were experienced, but it was also strange to deploy so many soldiers at such a late hour.

  He had been hiding outside the city walls, wondering which bandit was so capable that it was worth Leaf City making such a big fuss. However, no matter who it was, the other party was unlucky enough.

  Just as Xu Shenji was worried that the darkness would make it difficult to see clearly and he might mistake someone for Cheng Darui, several soldiers carrying Cheng Darui on a stretcher passed by on the street. Cheng Darui, who was being carried, was not calm either, shouting loudly in his mouth.

  "I'll be back!"

  So, it will never be mistaken again.

  "It's terrible! The master of the house has been arrested by government soldiers!"

  Xu Shenji suddenly felt a surge of energy, and the resentment in his heart instantly dissipated.

  He hastily rushed to the bottom of the lake to scoop up, and smashed open the gate of the wine house in the dead of night.

  The people who live at the bottom of the lake are almost all from Hama Village, even if they weren't originally, now they have been absorbed by Hama due to being close to ink.

  Liao Jia and Liao Yi were still excited after seeing Xun Shenji: "Military strategist, you..."

  "Enough of this nonsense! The master has been caught!"

  "What?!"

  At night, the wine house is brightly lit.

  The chef, the kitchen staff, everyone... at this moment are all fully armed, with knives, spoons, and rolling pins held in their bosoms.

  "General, what do you suggest we do?"

  "The master has treated us well, we absolutely cannot let him fall into the hands of the government soldiers." Xu Shenji heavily pounded the table: "For now, as long as we can block one road!"

  "Good!"

  Everyone responded in unison.

  Only Liao Jia and Liao Yi felt that something was wrong, just arresting Cheng Da Lei alone had mobilized over a thousand people, how could the number of people escorting him be small? Based on these dozen or so people breaking into prison, weren't they helping the other side increase their prison population?

  It is said that Xu Junshi was wise and resourceful. The master of the house would not do anything without him, and the master's catchphrase was: I'm done for if you're gone!

  It seems that Military Advisor's plan is not as clever and well-thought-out as it should be. Could this be a trick within a trick, with the advisor's plan being just a disguise for an even more profound scheme?

  What was the plan behind the military advisor... Liao Jia suddenly felt a headache. He thought that as an ordinary person like himself, he wasn't qualified to enter the realm of the military advisor's thoughts.

  "General, shouldn't we inform the mountain stronghold first? Even if it's a trap, with just the few of us, we can't do anything about it."

  Xu Shenji took a deep breath and said, "Alright, I'll stay here to hold down the fort. Send someone back to the mountain stronghold to spread the message. We'll mobilize all our men and horses, take down Luoye City, and rescue the Eldest Master!"

  Liao Jia felt his head ache again, the military advisor's plan, he really couldn't see through it.

  Liao Yilai did this thing, he left the city overnight from the gap in the city wall, and returned to Ha Ma Village without stopping his horse, passing on the news of Cheng Dalai's capture to everyone.

  As a result, this matter caused a great stir on Qingniu Mountain.
