Chapter 10 Successful Rescue

  "Boom......!" The successive sounds of the earth cannons startled Zhu Lianyun, his face changed and he hastily pulled out a gun from his waist: "Don't panic everyone! Gather together!"

  At this time, a burst of gunfire came from the woods next to them, and several big-headed soldiers were caught off guard and shot. The others were frightened and quickly lay down on the ground.

  After gathering a few people, Zhu Lianyun carefully observed and asked the big-headed soldier next to him: "Hey? Zhu Ming! Isn't your family from this area? Why are there people firing cannons here?"

  "Zhu, advisor! It's not peaceful here either! There seems to be a band of outlaws on the mountain, led by someone called Lai Bazi. He does all sorts of evil things and doesn't act like a human being. Maybe he wants to extort money from us?"

  Zhu Lianyun gazed angrily at the dense forest: "Damn it! What are those turtle eggs in Pingzhou eating? They're always shouting about eliminating bandits, but I didn't expect the bandits to be right in front of me. Brothers, all of you, perk up and shoot anyone who shows their head!"

  As soon as Zhu Lianyun's words fell, another burst of gunfire rang out. Zhu Lianyun hastily jumped off the horse and hid behind the carriage, poking his head out to look around.

  "Hey! You people over there, listen up! We're the 217th Garrison Regiment stationed in Pingzhou. Today we're on official business, escorting a dead man. When we come back another day, we'll definitely come visit you folks up in the mountains!" Zhu Lianyun shouted with feigned bravado.

  But what greeted him was another dense barrage of bullets, Zhu Lianyun sat beside the carriage, one hand removed his hat, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.

  "Brothers! Give me a shot! Don't be afraid of wasting bullets! These bandits don't have many bullets!" Zhu Lianyun took the gun and fired a few shots to boost their morale.

  But it was useless, the few people on that side were shooting with a purpose, they saw someone poking their head out and fired, one shot at a time, in just a short while, the twenty or so people brought by Zhu Lianyun were reduced to just over ten.

  Zhu Lianyun looked at the few people who were scared and curled up into a ball, feeling angry but not daring to make a move. He slowly poked his head out and fired a few more shots in the direction of the forest.

  "Ah! Listen up, soldiers! Since you know we're bandits, put down your guns obediently. Otherwise, don't blame our bullets for not having eyes!"

  "Brother! Don't shoot first! Let's talk it over! There's room for discussion!"

  "Alright! Put down your guns! Get out of here with your men!"

  Zhu Lian was furious and scolded his mother, but he didn't dare to go too far. He looked at the few people he had brought with him, none of whom dared to speak up, and gritted his teeth fiercely.

  "Alright! Brothers! Let's put down our guns! But there is a man on this car who is about to die, do you want him too?"

  "Alright then! Put down your guns and back off!"

  Zhu Lianyun signaled those soldiers to put down their guns: "Brothers! Did you see that? We've already put down our guns, can you come out now?"

  Zhu Lianyun finished speaking and gestured for those people to stand up. After a while, someone from the other side shouted: "Alright! You all retreat! We're coming over!"

  Zhu Lianyun's heart was delighted, he poked his head out to carefully observe the situation across from him, and before long, he saw several bandits holding guns walking out.

  Zhu Lianyun and the others waited until they were close to the car, then aimed at the two men in front of them and fired several shots. The two men fell to the ground, and the soldiers took advantage of the opportunity to pick up their guns and start firing at the remaining bandits who had not yet had time to hide.

  "Damn it! Didn't expect this kid to be so cunning, brothers! Give me a good beating!"

  After finishing speaking, Zhong Er aimed at a soldier who had just exposed half of his head and shot him. The soldier didn't even have time to cry out before he met King Yan. Then the dense gunfire sounded again.

  Zhu Lianyun saw that the soldiers beside him were getting fewer and fewer, he regretted not bringing a few more people over. It seemed that if they were to die today, it would be a disaster. He glanced around and called Zhu Ming over.

  "Zhu Ming! Take a few brothers and go around from this side! I'll take a few people to cover you from the back! Hurry up! Today we must eliminate these bandits!"

  Zhu Ming looked at Zhu Lianyun with difficulty: "Director Zhu! Judging from the gunfire, they must have a lot of people. I'm afraid we're not their match! Shall we withdraw?"

  Zhu Lianyun glared at him, pointing the gun at Zhu Ming's chest: "If you dare to disrupt military morale again, I'll shoot you dead immediately! Hurry up!"

  Zhu Ming couldn't help it and beckoned to four or five people, who quietly followed him from the side. Seeing Zhu Ming and his group walk far away, Zhu Lianyun waved his hand: "You few come over!"

  Those soldiers hesitated, and Zhu Lianyun said viciously: "Do you want to live? If you want to live, listen to me!"

  Those few people immediately nodded: "Director Zhu! You speak! We'll listen to you!"

  "Alright! That's it! Dazhuang, you take a few men and go around from this side. I'll cover for you here. We'll attack them from three sides and wipe out these bandits today, hurry!"

  Dazhuang looked at Zhu Lianyun with some concern: "Director Zhu! What if we all leave and those people sneak up from behind? You'll be in danger!"

  Zhu Lianyun was startled, he turned his head and looked back for a while: "Nothing! No one is behind! We just came from this side, you guys hurry up and go! Don't delay things!"

  Dazhuang left with a few others, Zhu Lianyun's face twisted in a ferocious expression. He raised his head to look at Lin Fei lying on the carriage: "Lin Fei! Don't think anyone will come to save you, I'll send you on your way right now!"

  Zhu Lianyun said, pointing the muzzle at Lin Fei's head. At this time, the dense gunfire suddenly stopped, Zhu Lianyun was stunned, and quickly looked up to see what had happened.

  At this sight, Zhu Lian's heart was filled with a chill, and Zhu Ming and Da Zhuang knelt on the ground, holding their guns in both hands, begging for mercy.

  Zhu Lianyun's eyes went dark and he almost fell to the ground, he knew everything was over, he no longer hesitated, and again pointed the gun at Lin Fei.

  "Bang!" A gunshot rang out, Zhu Lianyun only felt his arm go numb, the hand holding the gun no longer listened to commands, a stream of blood flowed out along the sleeve, he could no longer care about shooting Lin Fei, and turned around like a rabbit and ran away.

  Su Yun was carried by several people to the front of the car, she waved her hand to signal the chair to be put down, after the chair was stable, she supported herself with the chair and stood up. When she saw Lin Fei covered in blood and unconscious, tears fell from her eyes uncontrollably.

  Xiao Feng was stunned on the side, because since she came to the mountain village, she had never seen Su Yun's weak side. Zhong Er brought a few people and tied up several soldiers who were captured, letting them take away their guns.

  Wei Wuyou walked to Su Yun's side and said in a low voice: "Auntie! This place is not suitable for staying for long, let's leave quickly! If that rascal Lai Bazit catches wind of something, we won't be able to leave so easily."

  "Alright! Brothers, let's head back to the mountain!"

  Su Yun and they had just left for a short while, dozens of people rushed down from the Small Wolf Mountain, when they arrived at the side of the forest, what they saw were several soldiers like hemp flowers.

  The leader of the group was a bald man in his thirties, who bent down and glared at Zhu Ming with malice: "Who are you people? What happened just now?"

  Zhu Ming looked at the bald man with some confusion: "Excuse me, old man, which mountain are you from?"

  "Damn it! I ask you something and you give me a whole bunch of nonsense? What's with all the useless talk?"

  "Right, right, right! Grandpa! We are the 217th Regiment of the National Army stationed in Pingzhou. Just now, we were robbed by a group of bandits on our way here. They took away our guns and bullets, and also took away a prisoner we were escorting."

  "What kind of criminal? What crime?" The bald man looked at Zhu Ming in confusion. "Wait! You said you're from the 217th Regiment stationed in Pingzhou? But isn't the 217th Regiment supposed to be in Anzhou? How did they end up in Pingzhou?"

  "Sir! We also just arrived a few days ago, and the prisoner was caught in Pingzhou after we came over. I heard he committed a major crime in Longcheng, and we were planning to take him back to Longcheng, but unexpectedly, he was hijacked."
