Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 399 Attack on the Village
Gao Yuting didn't come back until the afternoon.

What is unexpected is that the leader of this village is actually an old lady.

No wonder he rarely shows up.

The old lady chatted with Gao Yuting for a whole day, talking about all sorts of things.

Gao Yuting knew exactly what the old lady meant. She just wanted to find out her origins.

Gao Yuting, this little fox, could even deceive Huang Chao, so how could she fall into the old lady's trap? With just a few words, the old lady was confused about her intentions.

In the end, he had no choice but to let Gao Yuting come back.

As the days passed, Xiao Ran and Gao Yuting lived a very happy life.

The two of them had originally boarded the bus first and bought the tickets later, so now was a good time to develop their relationship.

Of course, you need to switch off the light bulb occasionally.

I'm not talking about the second in command, I'm talking about the kid named Donkey.

I don’t know if it’s because Donkey lost his parents, but in the next two days, he often came to Xiao Ran’s side.

Sometimes when it was time for dinner, Xiao Ran would make an extra meal for him.

Anyway, this kid doesn't make any difference. Apart from his unpleasant name, he is quite smart.

When he has nothing to do, he helps the second in command to farm. If he can't do heavy work, he goes to fetch water or something. He is a very hardworking person.

Hearing that the second in command knew martial arts, he pestered him to teach him.

Seeing that Xiao Ran had no objection, the second in command simply started teaching him.

"Second Grandfather, can your boxing skills beat a tiger?"

Donkey asked while practicing boxing.

The second in command scratched his head when he heard this and said: "If you encounter a tiger, don't be afraid, just punch its pink nose."

"Oh, is that so?"

Donkey tried to raise his fist and punch.

Xiao Ran was sewing tiger skin nearby. He couldn't help but grinning when he heard this. "Silly boy, if you punch me like that, the tiger will tear you to pieces."

Donkey pouted and said, "Uncle Xiao, you don't practice boxing. When I grow up and become stronger, I will knock the tiger down with one punch. I will go up the mountain to fight tigers like Auntie. Then you can sew a tiger-skin cotton jacket for me."

"Okay, then you can take this tiger skin and I will make you a tiger skin cotton jacket."

Xiao Ran agreed casually.

As soon as he said this, he suddenly frowned and looked up at the startled birds outside the village.

Then he turned to look at the second in command.

Seeing this, the second in command's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly said to Donkey Egg, "Egg, go home first and close the door. Don't come out if you hear any noise. Do you hear me?"

Donkey, who was practicing boxing, was at a loss for what to do when he heard this, but seeing the serious look on Second in Command's face, he didn't dare to ask why. He just nodded, turned around and ran home.

Just as Donkey Egg ran out the door, the second in command turned around and grabbed a crow from the box behind him. He glanced at the crow's eyes with his gray left eye. The crow flapped its wings and struggled for a few times, then immediately became well-behaved.

Then it flapped its wings and flew quickly into the air.

At this time, Gao Yuting also walked out of the cave and looked outside the village.

She and Xiao Ran looked at each other, and then Xiao Ran took out her sword from the space and handed it to Gao Yuting.

"I'll go take a look. If necessary, the village..."

"Don't worry, I will take action when necessary."

Xiao Ran nodded to Gao Yuting. Although he was not a saint, since he had lived here for ten days or half a month, he would not just sit there and watch the village in danger and do nothing.

Although they have put down their swords, if necessary, Sanli or other corpse slaves will have no problem dealing with these bandits.

At worst, you can do it yourself, boxing skills are also no problem.

"it is good!"

Seeing that there was no problem with Xiao Ran, Gao Yuting turned around and walked out the door.

"Don't worry, sir. No one can do anything to Madam's methods."

The second in command said with a smile.

Of course Xiao Ran was not worried about Gao Yuting. With those bandits outside, let alone less than a thousand people, even if there were several thousand people, they would not be able to keep Gao Yuting.

What he was worried about was the people behind these bandits. Gao Yuting was rushing over now, probably because she wanted to find out the people behind them.

If we don't get rid of this guy, it will be difficult to repel these bandits.

At least if Xiao Ran doesn't take action, it will still be difficult for Gao Yuting and the people from Huolong Village to deal with it alone.

dong dong dong...

It was during this period of time that the alarm bells of the copycat began to sound.

For a time, anyone who had some labor spontaneously went to the entrance of the village.

Women, children and the elderly immediately hid in their homes.

"Sir, this group of people have started to attack, and the ones leading them are from the Black Tiger Camp. Hey, this group of people actually have shields and light armor, no wonder they dare to be the first to attack."

Xiao Ran leaned back in his chair and continued to sew the tiger skin on his hands, while the second in command at the side used the crow's vision to report the battle situation in real time.

After looking for a while, the second in command's expression changed slightly.

"Oh no! These guys are actually planning to use fire attack, and they have oil jars in their hands!!"

After saying that, he glanced at Xiao Ran.

Seeing that Xiao Ran was unmoved, he continued to watch patiently.

Soon, shouts and screams were heard from the front.

The second in command frowned, and although he said nothing, he clenched his fists tightly, and the veins on his arms bulged. "Great! Oh, the people from the Fire Dragon Village are a little weak, but they are able to advance and retreat properly, and the weapons they have are not bad either."

Through the crow's perspective, the second in command could see the entire battlefield clearly.

The geographical environment of Huolongzhai is not that good, but its high location and narrow roads still give them a lot of advantages.

Even though there are few of these people with real kung fu skills, they are still enough to deal with these bandits.

"Madam is indeed a true hero. With a few hidden weapons, she defeated this group of people."

Having said that, the Second in Command turned around and looked at Xiao Ran. Although he was blind in one eye, he was able to keenly notice the slight smile on Xiao Ran's lips.

"Master, although I am not a hero, I do have some vision. Madam's methods are beyond the reach of many masters in the world, not to mention that she is still a young woman. I don't know what sect Madam belongs to, and what is her name."

Because along the way, Xiao Ran never called Gao Yuting by her name, and every day he always called her "wife" or "wife".

Until now, the second in command still doesn't know the origins of this lady of his who goes down the mountain to kill people and goes up the mountain to kill tigers. He just knows that her surname is Gao.

Xiao Ran paused her needlework, looked up at the gate of the fortress in the distance, and said softly:

"Have you heard of... the Green Maiden Sword?"

The second in command's pupils trembled, and he slowly raised his head: "Qingnujian, the last name is Gao... my grandma, why is it her?"

At this moment, we were in a camp ten miles below Huolongzhai.

Several heads of the village were sitting inside, drinking wine and eating meat, but each of them had something on their mind.

Sitting on the first seat was a very young boy, no more than thirteen or forty-five years old.

She looks as delicate as a porcelain doll.

She has fair skin, rosy lips, white teeth, sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. Her long hair is tied up and she wears a white jade hairpin on her head.

What she is wearing is even more amazing, it is top-grade Su brocade with a white background, cranes outlined with gold thread, and patterns of mountains, rivers, sun and moon that flicker and are dazzling.

Just a gem on the jade belt around the waist is priceless.

It was really strange that such a noble man was sitting among a group of robbers and was regarded as the chief.

"Boss!!"

At this time, a bandit rushed in with a dusty face and fell in front of the leader of the Black Tiger Camp. With red eyes and a sobbing voice, he said, "Brothers, please withdraw. If we continue to fight, we will lose all our men."

Hearing this, the leader of the Black Tiger Village looked at the leader on the ground in surprise: "How could this happen? What do you do for a living? Don't you have shields and light armor?"

Wearing armor and not wearing armor are two completely different concepts in the era of cold weapons.

Even if it is just the lightest light armor, the defensive power is extremely high, and ordinary swords and knives cannot hit the vital points at all.

With the help of shield blocking, they should be able to break through even if they force a charge. Then throw a few bottles of kerosene on it and start a big fire, and the gate of the castle will be broken immediately.

But now they told him that there were heavy casualties, which was hard for the leader of the Black Tiger Camp to accept.

"Can……"

The leader couldn't explain it clearly, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "There are hidden weapons. I don't know where they came from. If you show up, you will die. There is no way to defend against them."

"hidden weapon?"

Everyone looked at each other.

The leaders of several other mountain villages showed expressions of sarcasm and gloating on their faces.

You know, when these light armor, shields, swords and other supplies were delivered, everyone was very excited.

These materials are all contraband items that are strictly prohibited by the imperial court from being privately produced by the public. These bandits don't have the ability to obtain them.

Who wouldn’t be jealous?

But there are too many wolves and too little meat.

So after everyone discussed it, whoever would take the lead would get the supplies.

As a result, this task fell on the Black Tiger Camp. They thought it would be an easy task, but in the end they were beaten and fled in panic.

It is inevitable to attract ridicule from everyone.

"This..." The leader of the Black Tiger Camp looked grim for a moment. He could only stand up and look at the young man sitting on the chair in front of him.

"Your Majesty, there might be a master on the other side, this..."

The young man looked calm and did not respond. He just nodded to the person next to him.

Then an old eunuch came out holding a box. He opened the box and saw about twenty black pills inside.

Everyone came over to take a look and saw that each pill was about the size of a thumb.

It was dark and had a pungent smell.

"Come on, each of you two, you can eat them yourself or give them to others. After you finish eating, you can lead others to kill together."

"Eunuch, what is this?" asked a bandit leader.

"This is the elixir refined by the prince. If your people eat it, even if they have the strength to split mountains and rocks, the enemy will definitely not be able to stop you."

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. They were not fools. They knew with a simple thought that this kind of thing would have side effects.

"Don't worry, after you take it you will just have to lie in bed for seven days at most, and you will be fine after seven days."

The old eunuch turned his eyes and said, "The prince loves you. He gave you this treasure to give you a chance. If you succeed in suppressing the bandits, the prince will ask for your merit and peace."

After hearing this, everyone thought that this was the truth, so they reached out to take the two pills and then left the tent.

Only after these people had left did the young prince sitting on the first throne ask curiously.

"Eunuch Li, after taking this pill, will the pain really go away in seven days?"

Facing the prince's question, Eunuch Li smiled like a fox: "Hehehehe, it doesn't hurt. How can I know whether it hurts or not for a dead person who has passed the seventh day of mourning..."
