Chapter 169

  "Big boss, we've been preparing for so long, when are we leaving?" said Gao Feihu.

  "It's almost time to go, I have a plan in mind."

  "How long are you going to keep us in suspense, what if the Rong tribe attacks, we won't be able to escape."

  "How is it possible so fast, you think every Rong tribe member has flying legs?"

  "The Master..."

  Cheng Dali suddenly turned around and blocked Gao Feihu's words.

  "Actually, I've been thinking about one thing all along."

  "What?"

  "Are you saying the Rong tribe will come and kill us?" Cheng Dalai asked seriously.

  "How can it be... Does the master of the house think it won't work?"

  "In fact, I've been thinking about this matter for the past few days." Cheng Dalai said: "You say that Rong's tribe has already taken over a Black Stone City, what is he coming to kill us for? What if he doesn't come to kill us, and we abandon such a large family business and run away with our tails between our legs, wouldn't that be very embarrassing?"

  There has been ongoing discussion within the mountain stronghold about whether the Rong tribe will come to attack. Of course, it's better if they don't come, but if they do, everyone will only have one way out - death. So, no one wants to risk their lives by guessing.

  "What does 'dà dàng jiā' mean?"

  "I want to go to Heishi City and take a look," said Cheng Dairen.

  "Big boss, have you gone mad!"

  "What's the fuss about? I've already thought it through. Let's pick a dozen or so capable brothers, each with two fast horses, and we'll go at night and return at night without engaging them in battle."

  "Big boss, you're going to get yourself killed!"

  "Shut up!" Cheng Dairen suddenly turned stern: "Am I or am I not the head of this mountain stronghold? Does my word still count?"

  "This..."

  "What's all this fuss about? I'm the head of the household, and you'll do as I say. My mind is made up, we're leaving tonight."

  By dusk, Cheng Dairen had assembled his team: Qin Man, Zhao Zilong, Xu Shenji, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Gao Feihu, Gao Feibao, Xiao Bailang, Xiong Daxiong Er and other mountain stronghold leaders, including Cheng Dairen himself, a total of thirty-six people, the weakest of whom were all excellent mountain stronghold fighters.

  Leaving Huang San Yuan and Liu Bei in charge of the mountain stronghold, the group of 36 people set out at night, each with two horses, sharpened weapons, and a full quiver of arrows.

  He didn't spare the horses on the way and by the time they reached the outer walls of Blackstone, the horses were panting heavily, without a single bit of strength left.

  It was already late at night, and everyone hid in the mountains outside the city. The surroundings were quiet, with no sound, only the sound of people's heartbeats remained.

  Even if they occupied Heishi City, the Rong tribe did not set up camp inside the city, but instead pitched their large tents outside the city. In the dark of night, it looked like a dense blackness, with faint glows of torches.

  "Hey, did you hear? We're setting off."

  "It's time to go to the next place, I'm getting bored with this one."

  "They say that imperial women are born with a delicate complexion, as white as a lamb."

  "Hah, you dare say that, aren't you afraid the tigress at home will eat you up? The woman you snatched isn't bad, why not give her to me instead?"

  "Alright, bring two heads of cattle and I'll exchange it with you."

  A patrol of the Rong tribe passed by in front, and Gao Fei Hu hid in the dark forest, holding his breath in fright, and only let out a long sigh after they had walked far away.

  "Did you hear? They're coming to kill us! Big Master, let's hurry back to the mountain stronghold and prepare to escape!"

  Just as they were talking, they suddenly discovered that Cheng Da Lei was nowhere to be seen. When they came back to their senses, they only saw him riding his horse and charging forward with an axe in hand.

  "Split your head!"

  "Pick your teeth!"

  "Pick your ears!"

  Qin Man and Zhao Zilong also saw this scene, and were frightened. They drew their bows and shot arrows to kill the enemies attacking Cheng Darui. Seeing that Cheng Darui had already been rescued, they quickly rode their horses and charged out to attack.

  "What's going on? What's going on!" Gao Fei Hu shouted: "Didn't you come to gather intelligence?"

  Guan Zhang two generals, Xiong Da Xiong Er, Xiao Bai Lang and others at this moment also had no other way, can only follow everyone together to charge out.

  Horses neighed and people shouted, the two sides killing each other in a chaotic mess. The Rong tribe was strong, but the men brought by Cheng Da Lei this time were not weak either, let alone with Qin Man and Zhao Zi Long, these two fierce generals.

  In a short time, a small team of about ten people from the Rong tribe was annihilated.

  The slaughter here has alarmed the people in the big account, and some ride horses rushing out.

  "Enemy attack!"

  "Enemy attack!"

  "What kind of person! What kind of person!"

  "I am the lord of Luoye City, the commander of the vanguard of Qingniu Mountain, and the holder of the royal seal of King Youzhou!" Cheng Dalai shouted on horseback: "You riffraff of the Rong tribe, die!"

  Gaofei Hu wanted to cry but had no tears: "What is going on here? Didn't they say today was just a reconnaissance, why did they still report their names?"

  At this moment, inside the Zong tribe's large camp, already over a thousand people have charged out.

  "Run!"

  Cheng Dalai let out a loud shout, turned his horse's head around and galloped wildly backwards.

  "Kill! Kill!"

  "Shoot arrows! Shoot arrows!"

  Behind him, the pursuing soldiers were like wolves and tigers. Cheng Da Lei ran extremely fast, Gao Fei Hu used his knife to whip the horse's buttocks while shouting loudly on horseback.

  "What's your surname Cheng doing?! What on earth are you doing?!"

  Cheng Dali laughed loudly on horseback: "Let's escape, those who are slow will be shot by the Rong tribe's arrows!"

  "The great households, their horses are fast, we're being chased!" Qin Man turned back and shot an arrow, galloping away on horseback.

  "Don't be afraid, take the main road, I'm prepared on the main road!"

  Cheng Dalai has ordered Liao Jia and Liao Yi to set up roadblocks on the official road, with rocks, large trees, and ditches dug deep and shallow.

  Cheng Dali recently followed Liao Jia and Liao Yi to do these things, and he was familiar with the road, knowing where there were roadblocks and where there weren't. With him leading the way, the team's speed slowed down slightly, but it didn't cause too much hindrance.

  When the Rong tribe's pursuers entered this land, the power of the cavalry was immediately restricted. Even if the Rong tribe's riding skills were good, there were still pursuers who fell off their horses.

  "Run!"

  "Run!"

  "Run!"

  Gao Fei let out a loud roar in Hu Kou's mouth, and his heart felt relieved. Now he could finally escape.

  "Big boss, let's hurry back to the hideout, those who can escape should escape!"

  What made Gao Fei Hu even more sorrowful was that when the Rong tribe could no longer catch up, Cheng Da Lei suddenly stopped and shouted at the pursuing soldiers.

  "You bandits of Beiman, General Cheng is here! Come quickly and meet your death before my axe!"

  They fled all the way back to the mountain stronghold, and everyone rode their horses into the stronghold. The gate of the stronghold was closed behind them.

  "What are you doing?!" Gaofei Hu shouted loudly.

  The people of the village have been awakened and are now gathered in the schoolyard, only to hear that the Rong tribe has come to kill, and immediately there is panic and shouting everywhere.

  "The Rong tribe is coming to kill!"

  "What! How can we escape now? We'll be killed halfway!"

  "What was I saying? What was I saying? Let's hurry up and go!"

  Lighting torches, the mountain valley is illuminated, Cheng Dairen stands on the platform, and everyone's eyes have grievances, accusations, and anger.

  "You never thought of escaping, delaying time and intentionally bringing the Rong tribe here, just to have everyone die with you!" Gao Fei shouted in a fit of rage, having already seen through Cheng Da Lei's intentions.
