After the two dishes were done, Ang Lee decided to make the last and simplest soup dish, stewed venison meatballs. This dish only required the meatballs to be made, and then they could be boiled in boiling water. The requirement for the heat was not very high, and it was the easiest dish to learn. The difficulty of this dish was the process of making the meatballs, but it was really easy. One could learn it after learning it once, and it did not require too much effort.
Ang Lee asked Zhao Yafu to personally cut the cut venison into pieces, and then put various ingredients and seasonings into the venison. After that, the two of them directly rolled the minced meat into meatballs. After that, it was the simplest way to put it into the pot. They just needed to gently put the meatballs into the pot. In this way, the delicious dish was half done.
In addition to the ingredients needed to make a delicious dish, it also needed to wait. It felt good to wait while smelling the fragrance, and it would not make people feel bored.
If they tasted the delicious food directly, they would only get food to fill their stomachs. But when they made the delicious food by themselves, they could have a different feeling. This feeling was very special, with a strong sense of achievement and love in it.
After the meal was ready, Ang Lee and his companions were tasting the delicious food. However, no one knew that they had been targeted. The person who targeted Ang Lee and his companions was Duan Chu of Nanzhao. After being rejected by Gelofeng, this guy gathered a group of loyal subordinates and prepared to assassinate Ang Lee on the way. After all, he also heard that Ang Lee only had a few hundred subordinates, while he could gather two or three thousand desperadoes, which gave him a lot of confidence and made him feel that as long as he took action, he would succeed. In view of the fact that attacking in Nanzhao would cause trouble for Gelofeng, Duan Chu decided to set the location of the assassination in the Eastern Maiden State. In this way, even if Ang Lee was unfortunately assassinated, it would not affect Gelofeng.
In order to save time, Duan Chu and his companions rushed to the Eastern Maiden State at the speed of a rapid march. It only took them three or four days to reach the border, and then they quietly sneaked into the Eastern Maiden State in batches and scattered to hide.
Originally, Duan Chu was worried that time would be too tight and he wouldn't have enough time to deploy his men and prepare a proper plan. However, he didn't expect that Li An would travel at an extremely slow pace. Along the way, he would either visit a village or take a few dozen people for a stroll. This made Duan Chu very excited. This way, he could calmly deploy his men. Moreover, Li An liked to take a few dozen people out alone, which made it even more convenient for an assassination. As long as he ambushed a few hundred elites and ambushed Li An's few dozen people, wouldn't it be a piece of cake? Arranging a few thousand people for a sneak attack would cause too much of a commotion, and it would be easy for the local garrison to discover clues. However, if he only gathered a few hundred elites, the scale would be relatively small, and it wouldn't be easy to attract attention.
...... this man.... ....... and................. is... to.
. "A man with a scar on his face looked at Duan Chu and said.
Duan Chu stared at the camp in the distance and said with a smile, "If he wants to die, then he can't blame us. Let's go back and discuss how to assassinate him."
After saying that, he took a few of his confidants and left the vicinity of Ang Lee's camp. Because they were five hundred steps away from Ang Lee's camp, and there were only a few of them, so naturally, they were not discovered. This was obviously a very dangerous signal.
After returning, Duan Chu and several of his confidants were very excited. Duan Chu was excited because he felt that he could easily kill Ang Lee, and several of his confidants felt that they could complete this mission with the least cost. They even felt that they could complete this mission with only a few dozen of their ordinary subordinates. This was naturally a very exciting thing.
"It seems that God wants our plan to succeed. In this case, we don't need to be polite. Let's select three hundred people and divide them into three groups to quietly ambush him. Then, as long as he appears, he will absolutely not be able to escape."
Duan Chu said.
"Brother Duan, but we don't know which path this person will take! Where should we set up the ambush? "
One of the outlaws asked.
Duan Chu said, "Although we are not very sure, but through these few days of observation, we can find some patterns. This person will definitely go to the Mo Valley tomorrow. Let's ambush there now. As long as he appears, we will block the front and back, and this person will not be able to escape even if he has wings."
"Brother Duan, why don't we make a few more preparations? First, then we will do this. This way, we will have more confidence."
"Brother Duan, I think we should do this. This way, we will have more confidence."
"Let's do this! What you said is not reliable. My method is the best. It should be like this. "
A group of outlaws began to argue. It seemed that no one could convince anyone, but after some discussion, the plan became more and more reliable, and the threat to Ang Lee also became greater and greater.
Finally, under Duan Chu's decision, they finally decided on the final plan of action. This final plan of action was the most perfect plan they could think of. Anyway, at least they felt that it was a very perfect plan.
Ang Lee did not notice the actions of Duan Chu's group. After all, Duan Chu's main force was scattered dozens of miles away, and there were less than twenty people close to Ang Lee's alert range. They were all here to scout, so naturally they would not be easily discovered. They were wearing woodcutter's clothes, so it was difficult to tell that they were outlaws.
However, if these outlaws wanted to assassinate Ang Lee, it was simply wishful thinking. It was basically impossible to achieve.
After some careful preparation, Duan Chu divided the selected three hundred people into three groups. Each group had a hundred people. This group was not too big nor too small, so it was not easy to attract attention. Moreover, the three hundred people in each group also moved separately, not like a swarm of bees. It was completely normal for more than twenty people to go hunting together, so no one would suspect anything.
Although these people moved separately, their goal was the Mo Family Valley. They guessed that Ang Lee might go to that valley, so they prepared to set up an ambush in advance. When Ang Lee and his group entered the valley, they would launch a sneak attack on Ang Lee and his group to complete the assassination plan.
Ang Lee naturally did not know about the deliberate plan of Duan Chu's group. Therefore, Ang Lee took more than thirty people to the Mo Family Valley early in the morning. This valley was the place that Ang Lee had decided to explore. After talking with the people of the Mo Family Village, Ang Lee had already made the decision. The people of the Mo Family Village were very enthusiastic. They told everything they knew to Ang Lee and his group. Therefore, Ang Lee naturally wanted to explore this valley, which was rumored to have treasures.
Although there were rumors about treasures in the Mo Family Valley, the people of the Mo Family Village did not believe it. Because their ancestors had lived here for many years. The villagers often went to the valley to explore, but they did not find any treasures. Therefore, they did not believe that there were treasures in the Mo Family Valley at all.
Although the people of the Mo Family Village did not believe that there were treasures in the Mo Family Valley, Ang Lee felt that the rumors were reasonable. Maybe there were treasures in the Mo Family Valley. No matter whether there were treasures or not, they would know after going there.
Ang Lee was also a curious person. He was very interested in many strange things. He wanted to explore, otherwise, he would feel uncomfortable. After all, what if he found treasures?
Ang Lee and his group of more than thirty people, all of whom were the elites of the elites, quickly entered the Mo Family Valley along the mountain road. However, when they just entered the valley, Ang Lee felt that something was wrong. Because the valley was too quiet, so quiet that it was somewhat abnormal.
"Stop."
Li An gave the order to stop advancing.
"Assistant Minister Li, is there anything wrong?"
Chen Long asked.
Ang Lee said, "Listen carefully. This valley is too quiet. There is not even the sound of insects. It was not like this before. It seems that there is an ambush!"
"An ambush? No way!"
Chen Long also felt that something was wrong after he finished speaking.
The surrounding was indeed a little scary. This feeling of silence was extremely abnormal. According to normal circumstances, this barren mountain should not be so quiet.
"Assistant Minister Li, the terrain of this valley is quite special. Once we enter, the consequences will be unimaginable if we are ambushed! Let's go back quickly! "
Chen Long said.
Ang Lee said, "Don't worry, calm down first. Quickly send people to look around and see if there is really an ambush. Maybe it is an accident."
After coming all the way here, Li An naturally didn't want to leave so easily. The surroundings were quiet, but it didn't mean that there were enemies lying in ambush. Moreover, he didn't know how many people were lying in ambush. If it was just a few timid commoners lying in ambush, then wouldn't it be a big mistake?
Several guards acted separately. They all had binoculars in their hands. Naturally, they could investigate the area they suspected in detail. If they found something wrong, they could directly use the binoculars to look.
Ang Lee's cautiousness greatly disappointed Duan Chu and the others who were lying in ambush in the Mo Family Valley. They never thought that Ang Lee's vigilance would be so high. How could they be discovered when their ambush was so well hidden?
"Brother Duan, our brothers were all lying motionless. How could they be discovered? This is too strange. "
One of the outlaws asked doubtfully.
"Yes! Why are our brothers lying motionless? How did that person find out that something was wrong? "
"Is it because the surroundings are too quiet? Since he is a capable person, he is naturally different from ordinary people. He can always find things that others can't find."
"Yes, it is very likely that it is because there are too many of us. The insects are too scared to make any noise. If only we were lying in ambush further away."
"What's so good about it? If the ambush is too far away, how can we hit them in one shot?"
"Fortunately, we have many plans. We also have people lying in ambush in the distance and cast a very big net. Since this place has been exposed, then we will use the second plan. We will directly chase after them and cooperate with our brothers in the distance to catch them off guard."
"Brother Duan, we have most likely been discovered. Don't hesitate, let's hurry up and attack! More than half of our brothers are riding horses. We can definitely catch up. "
A group of outlaws said loudly.
Duan Chu frowned and said helplessly, "Alright! Since our brothers have said so, I have no objections. Everyone, let's rush out together and send a signal to our brothers in the distance. Let them cut off that person's escape route. "
Soon, under Duan Chu's command, a hundred outlaws rushed out from the sides of the valley where they were lying in ambush. They mounted their horses and raised the weapons in their hands and rushed out.
These bandits were naturally discovered by Ang Lee's elite troops as soon as they showed themselves. They immediately issued a warning.
"Not good, it is indeed an ambush. There are more than a hundred bandits. Assistant Minister Li, let's retreat quickly!"
Chen Long said.
Ang Lee said with a smile, "There are so few of them. Why don't we fight? They look like they have a lot of people, but they are definitely no match for our army."
Ang Lee was very familiar with the elite troops under his command. These troops were extremely elite, and their combat strength was far beyond that of bandits. These mere bandits were not worth mentioning in Ang Lee's eyes. If they stayed and fought, they might be able to wipe out all of these bandits. At least, Ang Lee was confident in this.
"Assistant Minister Li, this is too risky. Although there are not many bandits in front of us, no one knows if there are other bandits in other places. If we are besieged by a large group of bandits, it will be really troublesome."
Chen Long said cautiously.
Ang Lee said with a smile, "What you said makes sense. We can't do something that is too dangerous! Alright, let's go! Let's go back. "
After saying that, he turned his horse around and returned to the direction of the main force.
"Brother Duan, they are running away. It seems that they are afraid. I thought they were great. It turns out that they are only so-so. "
"That's right, they are only so-so. It seems that Brother Duan's uncle was careless and lost to this person. "
"Brother Duan, as long as we kill this person, you must keep your promise to us!"
A group of outlaws said.
Duan Chu said with certainty, "Brothers, you still don't believe in this Duan Chu's character? When have I ever done anything to let you down? As long as you can avenge my uncle, then I will definitely do what I promised you, I will absolutely not go back on my words."
Hearing Duan Chu's affirmation, the group of outlaws were all very excited. After all, Duan Chu had given them a big promise, which was enough to move their hearts. It was no wonder, the Duan family was not an ordinary family. The Duan family had a lot of wealth, so they could afford to pay such a price.
Ang Lee and his group had just retreated less than five li when suddenly, another group of people rushed in front of them. This group also had more than a hundred people, and seemed to have blocked Ang Lee's path. This situation seemed to be a little tricky.
"Assistant Minister Li, there is an inconspicuous path to the side. I will lead the main force and charge directly through it. Assistant Minister Li will lead a few people back through the path. It will be safer this way."
Chen Long said.
