Bloodstained Hero's Clothes

Chapter 1219: Using Local Materials to Defeat the Enemy (V)

There was a mess below, but Ling'er raised her lips. Brother Yang asked her to release all the horses except the old horse, let them scatter, and make sure that only a few of them would follow the old horse and run down the mountain road.

When Ling'er learned that Brother Yang was going to use fire to drive the old horse to run wildly, she came up with an idea. She selected a few strong horses and tied them at the intersection of the path and the mountain trail, with the reins tied in a slipknot. When the old horse started to neigh and run wildly in pain, the other horses would also become restless. And when the old horse passed by them in fear, they would definitely use their strong bodies to forcefully break the slipknot on the reins and follow the old horse to escape down the mountain.

It seemed that the horses had accomplished their tasks brilliantly, which made Ling'er very satisfied.

Qi Yang also cast an approving look at Ling'er.

"Deputy Chief Chen, could this be a trick the other side is using to lure the tiger away from the mountain?" Someone in the crowd suddenly reminded loudly.

Qi Yang and Ling'er looked at the man together.

The man was young, well-mannered, a little thin, and had a scholarly air. He was completely different from the muscular officers and soldiers around him. He must have been in a position to give advice and suggestions.

  The leader, Deputy Constable Chen, was stunned. He had worried about this before, but was distracted by the emergency situation behind him and ignored this possibility. But at this time, more than half of the officers and soldiers had already caught up with the path. Was it too late to withdraw the order now?

"After all, one of them was poisoned. If they could have left so quickly, they would have left long ago and would not have waited until now." The thin man continued to analyze.

  The leader looked embarrassed. He had indeed acted impulsively. But wasn't it too disrespectful for the other party to question him so loudly in person?

Seeing that the leader was unhappy, the subordinate who had been following him quickly retorted: "Mr. He, who are you? Do you have the right to speak here?"

"My father told me before he left..." The thin man was interrupted just as he began to speak.

"Master He asked you to go down the mountain with him last night, why didn't you just go back with him obediently?" the subordinate snorted coldly.

"But since I've stayed, I have the responsibility to remind Deputy Chief Chen." The thin man said righteously.

"Alright! Alright!" Deputy Constable Chen raised his hand to stop the two from arguing, and said, "Mr. He, I have already considered what you said. I will naturally leave half of my team to continue guarding here."

After receiving the signal from Deputy Chief Constable Chen, the subordinate quickly arranged for half of the officers and soldiers to stay in the hidden place outside the cave.

Deputy Constable Chen then said to the thin man, "And you said they left earlier if they could? Then I, Chen, will tell you that they didn't leave earlier because their accomplices hadn't come to pick them up yet. I don't know who insisted last night that they had no other accomplices. If not for that, Constable Wu wouldn't have led two teams down the mountain to report at night, so that someone took advantage of the opportunity to rescue them now!"

The thin man stopped talking after hearing this, because it was his father who insisted last night that the other party had no other accomplices.

Deputy Chief Constable Chen added, "Whether the enemy is trying to lure the tiger out of the mountain or not, several people have already escaped from the cave. We have seen and heard this with our own eyes. Is it wrong for Chen to send several teams to arrest people? Young man, don't be arrogant just because you are a little smart!"

The thin man gritted his teeth and endured, not daring to speak again. If he angered the other party again, he was worried that the other party would really put all the blame for not protecting the person on his father.

  Deputy Chief Constable Chen said those words just to justify his impulsive behavior, but he did not expect that what he said later reaffirmed his previous judgment. Yes, no matter if there are still people in the cave who cannot escape due to poisoning, the most urgent task is to catch those who have escaped first.
