Bang!
He punched the tree trunk with one hand and held two pieces of cloth in the other. The head of the entourage was so angry that his liver was about to explode.
"Meng Hun, you've gone too far!" He clenched his teeth in anger. He thought he could catch Meng Hun, but Meng Hun was still toying with him. Meng Hun only gave them directions to walk around in circles. It was like a monkey's show. "If I catch you, I'll tear you to pieces!"
The old hunter who was leading the way was trembling in fear. His back was covered in sweat and he shivered in the cold night wind.
"Sir … Are we still going?"
The old hunter asked carefully after the man had finished punching the tree.
"No. Let's go back. They're trying to lure us away. They want to take the rations away while I'm not here. Hehe, I'm afraid they'll never know that I left someone to guard the rations. Meng Hun is just a stray dog. How can he swallow so much? He must be scared of choking to death! "
His eyes darkened and a murderous look flashed in his eyes.
He didn't even need to think to know that if he kept searching, he would only find more pieces of cloth.
It was an obvious trick to lure them away. The purpose was to buy time so that they could take the rations away.
"Let's go back and surround Meng Hun!"
At the order of the head of the entourage, the exhausted soldiers pulled themselves together and hurried on with their sore legs.
The old hunter was confused. He was only hired to lead the way. How would he know what was going on with the soldiers?
He just needed to lead the way. When he got the promised money, he would never do such a thankless job again.
The old hunter muttered to himself as he moved through the forest. He was as strong as a young man in his twenties.
As a veteran hunter who had been hunting nearby for more than 30 years, he could move freely even with his eyes closed. He knew when to step and where to step. He knew it would be easier for him to do so. But it was not so easy for the soldiers.
The route Jiang Pengji chose seemed to be smooth and without any traps, but it was full of hidden traps. It was very exhausting!
The old hunter was already used to it, so naturally he did not feel anything. On the other hand, the soldiers were traveling at night, and the terrain was so rough. How could they not be exhausted?
The head of the entourage was eager to kill Meng Hun to avenge himself, so he kept urging them to hurry up.
One of the soldiers panted and jogged, "Boss, don't worry. Meng Hun definitely won't expect us to come back."
"That's right. With so much food, even if four hundred people carried it, it would still take at least an hour. How could they move fast if they were carrying the food? Even if we can't catch them, we can still catch up to them. Leader, you don't have to be so anxious. Let us rest first. "
Hearing that, the head of the entourage's face darkened. He raised his hand and whipped the soldier.
The man let out a blood-curdling scream as a long line of blood ran diagonally from one side of his forehead to the other side of his chin. He missed his footing and fell to the ground, rolling down the slope. There was a dull thud from below, and in an instant, there was no more sound.
The head of the entourage showed no mercy at all. Instead, he said in a sinister tone, "Speed is the most important thing in war. How can we waste our time for such a reason? Meng Hun is a cunning man. Who knows what other tricks he has up his sleeve? Anyone who wants to rest will end up like him! "
The other soldiers kept quiet out of fear. They just lowered their heads and held their breaths, afraid that they would be whipped if they breathed too loudly.
The head of the entourage snorted and said proudly, "Since no one objects, let's continue our journey and capture Meng Hun alive! As long as we capture Meng Hun and make a great contribution, I'll ask the county chief to reward you. Then you'll have a meteoric rise. You'll have money, women, and status! "
Tempted by the benefits, the other soldiers forgot about the rising fear in their hearts and suddenly felt a sense of heroism.
After a while, the bandits' stockade could be seen with the naked eye. There was still light over there. The head of the entourage laughed when he saw it.
Pointing at the fire in the stockade, he said, "Meng Hun is such an idiot. He's trying to lure us away and buy time. He didn't expect that I had a trick up my sleeves. I left some people to guard the food. It's not that easy to get the food. If you want to take it … take your life! "
Seeing the bandits' stockade getting closer and closer, the head of the entourage felt excited. He smelled blood in the air, which made him even more overjoyed. Obviously, this was the evidence that Meng Hun had led his men to launch a sneak attack. Maybe he was already wounded and had fled.
The old hunter suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable when he was only a hundred meters away from the stockade, as if a terrible beast was targeting his vital parts! This kind of vigilance had saved him many times in danger, and this time the feeling was stronger than ever …
He stopped for a moment and suddenly bent over and rolled over.
The old hunter felt that his hands and feet were numb and weak in panic, as if he would lose his life if he slowed down a bit.
His action was so sudden that the head of the entourage came back to himself from his extreme excitement and became serious.
"What are you doing!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a strange sound came from the back of the troop. Screams kept coming from the back.
The exhausted soldiers fell one after another, like rice being cut, one after another.
The head of the entourage was frightened by the sudden change.
All he could see was darkness. He could not see the enemy at all. It was as if the deadly arrows had come out of nowhere!
After only three volleys of arrows, only twenty to thirty of his soldiers were left. The rest had been turned into porcupines.
"Tsk … Cowards. The Meng's keep using such useless people. What a disgrace to Lord Meng."
Jiang Pengji squatted on a branch. She wanted to shoot some arrows at the head of the entourage, but she did not expect him to be so cruel that he grabbed the corpses and used them as meat shields. A few stray arrows hit the corpses … Tsk, tsk. It was rare to see someone so useless.
Qiguan Rang's night vision was not that good. He heard Jiang Pengji's sarcasm and thought she was belittling the enemy.
Jiang Pengji patted the trunk of the tree, which made a cracking sound.
The troops heard the sound and put their hands to their mouths. They shouted, "Meng Gongyong of the previous dynasty is ridiculous."
Qiguan Rang's heart sank. He was frightened by their thunderous voices.
"The descendants of today are worse than dogs."
Someone's feather fan almost fell to the ground.
Was it really okay to mock them so blatantly?
At that moment, Qiguan Rang could not help but think of the coarse cloth Jiang Pengji left behind. It directly called the Meng's "dogs".
Jiang Pengji said to Qiguan Rang in distress, "I don't think it sounds imposing. Should I say something more infuriating?"
Qiguan Rang was speechless.
Wasn't that infuriating?
If it were him, his brain would explode.
