The family head's token on the table made Lu Ran hesitate.
Although he asked in every way he could, the person in charge of delivering the token insisted that he was only following the orders of his team leader and knew nothing else.
However, Lu Ran, who prided himself as a smart man, still managed to figure out something.
Their family head's whereabouts were mysterious and unpredictable.
He had asked around before and knew that the family head liked to disguise himself as a stranger to test his subordinates.
If he could show his face in front of the family head and perform meritorious deeds, would he be able to enter the main camp?
His desire for power made him lose his mind.
According to the person's report, it was just a group of bandits who wanted to harm the students.
They had seen many such incidents before, but they were all brave but not astute soldiers.
It would be the same this time. It wouldn't be too difficult.
Lu Ran kept racking his brains. He was indeed thinking about how to take advantage of the "east wind" this time to reap the greatest benefits.
"Alright, I'll report this to my superiors. Go back first and tell them that reinforcements will be here soon."
He sent off the informant with a bureaucratic tone.
After the person left, he immediately gathered his trusted subordinates.
Lu Ran was quite resourceful. He analyzed the stakes of the matter in a few sentences.
Under the huge temptation, those people agreed to work together with him.
Lu Ran couldn't help but smile proudly.
However, at this moment, someone rushed into the tent.
"Captain Lu, I heard that someone asked for help?"
The corner of Lu Ran's lips instantly dropped when he saw the man.
He gave his trusted subordinates a look, hinting that they must keep the secret, and scolded the man with a dark expression.
"Who allowed you to come in? Don't you know the rules of our team? "
The man frowned, but he still apologized to Lu Ran reluctantly. "It's my fault, but I just want to know if someone asked for help."
'Here comes another one to steal the credit!'
Lu Ran was disdainful and had already regarded him as a competitor.
"No, it's just some insignificant daily situations."
The man wanted to ask more but was chased away by Lu Ran.
Seeing that the hindrance had left, he couldn't hold it in anymore.
If someone else were to find out about this, he was afraid that he would miss this good opportunity.
He immediately led his trusted subordinates and hurriedly rushed to the small town where the incident had occurred.
Lin Mengya didn't expect that she didn't have strong support because of some people's selfishness.
The guards who were in charge of scouting the situation first brought back even worse news.
Those people wanted to move the students away, and they had already taken action.
But the strange thing was that the people who had been "kidnapped" by Lin Mengya had returned to the inn and did not take any action for the time being.
The number of people she could mobilize was limited.
A portion of the guards had to be set aside to maintain the daily security of the town. In this way, most of the strength still depended on the guards around her.
Although these people were all elites, they did not have an advantage in terms of numbers.
"How long does it usually take for reinforcements to arrive?"
She asked the captain with a frown.
The man wiped the sweat off his forehead and said in a doubtful tone, "Under normal circumstances, as long as they receive my call for help, they will rush over in the shortest time possible."
Logically speaking, his people must have already passed the news over, and they also had the token of the master of the family, so they should act more quickly.
Why hadn't they seen any reinforcements so far?
Now the situation was urgent, and they couldn't afford to wait any longer.
If these people moved the students away, it would be more difficult for them to catch up.
"Now they still don't know that we have found their hiding place. If we arrange it properly, we can catch them off guard."
The captain also nodded frequently. He had the same opinion as her, but at the same time, the captain also had some concerns.
"Master, we are short of manpower now. If we can't take down those thieves in one fell swoop, what should we do if they are desperate and hurt the students?"
Her eyes darkened.
This was exactly what she was worried about.
"I will let my guards sneak in first to protect these students as much as possible."
"How can this work?" The captain shook his head repeatedly.
He knew that there were many people who wanted to harm the Master. If all the people who were protecting her in the dark were to withdraw, what if someone launched a sneak attack on the Master at this time?
Lin Mengya said, "There are not many people who know my identity, as long as we are careful.
What's more, the students' lives are in danger now, I can't just stand by and watch. "
At least this was the Gong family's fief, even her enemies would not dare to easily make a move on her territory.
As long as the reinforcements arrived, they would have enough people to intercept the other party.
She discussed the plan with the captain that night. Before the sun rose, the guards under her command and the guards that Captain Sun could spare quietly left the town and headed to the place where the thieves were hiding.
She was also protected by Bai Su Cai Ru. In order to ensure her safety, the captain let her take his men to live in the guard camp.
However, he did not expect that it was because of his kindness that those people suspected Lin Mengya's identity.
Just as the captain went out to patrol the streets with his men, suddenly dozens of people with high martial arts skills broke into the guard camp.
They moved quickly, were well-trained, and their goal was very clear, which was to catch Lin Mengya and her group.
Out of the three brothers, two of them were sent out by her.
At this time, only Ah San and the two girls knew martial arts. The guard camp, which originally did not have many people, was like an uninhabited land.
Those people quickly broke into the camp where they were.
The three people blocked her and Li Wu Shuang, who did not know martial arts, behind them. They did not expect that the leader was the foreign man who took the opportunity to flirt with Li Wu Shuang.
"I knew your identity was not ordinary!"
The man's eyes were like a wolf's, looking at them like he was sizing up his prey.
"I'm warning you, leave now, or you won't be able to leave."
Lin Mengya was not afraid, calmly dealing with the other party.
The leader sneered, "Of course we have to leave, but, you have to go with us!"
The man waved his hand, and suddenly dozens of his companions surrounded them.
She did not expect that they had accomplices in the town!
Her moment of carelessness had caused trouble for herself.
"Don't worry, Madam, we will protect you with our lives!"
Ah San stood at the front, and said with a serious face.
Lin Mengya frowned, and ordered in a low voice, "Later, the three of you don't have to fight. Cai Ru, your Qing Gong is good, and your reaction is fast. Our reinforcements are on the way. "
Cai Ru nodded, she understood what she meant.
At this time, the other side also moved.
The three of them also rushed forward. Cai Ru used her body to her advantage, and the other two deliberately created opportunities for her, and successfully rushed out.
The foreign man did not let his subordinates split up to chase after her, but his attacks became more violent, he must take her down.
Gradually, Ah San and Bai Su were outnumbered, but there was still no movement outside.
At this time, she had to face the worst case scenario.
"Little lady, if you still don't surrender, those two loyal guards of yours will die."
The man squinted his eyes, he seemed to be at ease.
Moreover, he also knew how to speak Wei Guo's language, so all the things that happened before were just a disguise to numb the people.
"Tell your men to stop."
The foreign man sneered, "Your two guards are good at martial arts, I am not a fool."
"Okay, then I will count to three, and we will stop together."
Bai Su shouted anxiously, "Master, you can't listen to him!"
The two of them were basically putting their lives on the line against each other.
She couldn't just stand by and watch them die.
Moreover, it seemed that they were not here to kill her.
"Haha, as a master, you know what to do. Okay, I will listen to you! "
Lin Mengya calmed herself down and said loudly, "Three, two, one!"
The two sides stopped fighting in an instant.
Ah San and Bai Su, who were slightly injured, came back to her side in an instant.
"How are you?" She asked in a low voice.
The two shook their heads, indicating that their injuries were not serious.
The blond man signaled her with his eyes, and said, "Now, you have to follow me."
Ah San and Bai Su wanted to continue to buy time, but Lin Mengya could see that the other side obviously had a backup plan.
She was puzzled.
How many people did they deploy inside and outside this town?
And why did these people attack the convoy and kidnap the students?
She pinched between her eyebrows, only feeling as if there were layers of fog, waiting for her to uncover the mystery.
Surrounded by those people, the three of them slowly walked out of the tent.
Just as they were stuffed into the carriage by the blond man, suddenly, there was a violent explosion from a distance.
Lin Mengya only saw a huge cloud of smoke rising in the distance.
She was always sharp, and quickly captured some information.
"Did you do this?" She looked at the blond man.
The latter raised the corner of his mouth, and smiled wantonly and arrogantly.
"It's just a small gift. Not many people will die."
It turned out to be a diversion.
No wonder they were not afraid of these things, and dared to swagger into the guard camp.
In the end, the three of them were still locked in the carriage.
After about half an hour, the branch leader hurriedly returned to the guard camp with his men.
Unfortunately, this place had long since been deserted.
"Master!"
The branch leader did not care to hide his identity, and shouted loudly.
However, what caused his heart to chill was that no one in the camp responded.
The branch leader was so scared that he sat on the ground, with a dull face.
Where were they?
At this time, there was some movement in a big box in the room.
The branch leader immediately got up, carefully holding the knife in his hand, and motioned his men to be quiet.
