"Stop them!" Tian Miaowen rushed all the way. Suddenly, she saw a group of people and horses in front of her. They were driving the carriages quickly. She couldn't help but be overjoyed.
The things had been transported into the territory of Shiqian. If she wanted to go to the enemy's territory to take back the goods, it was tantamount to snatching food from the mouth of a tiger. The timing and motivation were very important. They must go and return quickly. Therefore, Tian Miaowen brought all the cavalry.
However, Guizhou was not suitable for horse fighting. The rich and powerful families mostly raised horses for riding. Therefore, there were nearly four hundred people in her group. There were not many horses that were really suitable for fighting. Instead, there were many Sichuan horses, Yunnan horses, and donkeys and mules that were suitable for walking in the mountains. However, they were still faster than walking on two legs. Moreover, these horses were used to carrying goods. After they took back the goods, they could be used to carry them back.
Under Tian Miaowen's order, Dai Yunxi and others immediately sped up and rushed forward. Hua Yunfei took the lead. Not only did he rush to the front, but he had already begun to draw his bow and arrow. He wanted to use his excellent shooting to stop the rushing carriages in front of him.
Tycoon was riding a tall horse, but his body was too fat. Even though the horse under his crotch was handsome, it couldn't stand the weight of the empress dowager. The horse's mane was wet with sweat. At this moment, it was good enough that it could still rush as usual. How could it go fast? However, Tycoon also whipped the horse and desperately chased after them.
Hua Yunfei and Tycoon met Tian Miaowen when she led the army down the mountain. Tian Miaowen had already heard the news of Ye Xiaotian's return from them. However, there was an accident on the way, so they temporarily separated, and Ye Xiaotian led the people to another road.
Tian Miaowen heard that Ye Xiaotian had returned, and she was very happy. Speaking of which, she and Ye Xiaotian might have appreciated each other's talents and had even secretly fallen in love with each other. However, the two of them really hadn't been lovey-dovey with each other. Their feelings hadn't been vigorous yet.
However, although the two of them weren't as sweet as Ye Xiaotian and Yingying, nor were they like Ye Xiaotian and Ning 'er, she was the first to marry Ye Xiaotian, obtaining the title of Ye Xiaotian's wife.
During the days when Ye Xiaotian was not in the Crouching Ox Ridge, Tian Miaowen protected him both inside and outside under the name of the matriarch of the Ye family. Unknowingly, she had truly begun to treat herself as a part of the Crouching Ox Ridge.
In the dead of the night, when she was alone and cold, she thought more than once about that husband who had mysteriously become her husband but had gone to the capital before they could consummate the marriage. Thoughts, emotions, and acknowledgment had seeped into her bones unknowingly during this process. The moment she heard that Ye Xiaotian had returned, she had almost leapt for joy.
Only because of that was the case did she have to retrieve the important military resources before she met Ye Xiaotian. She knew that Ye Xiaotian and Yingying were deeply in love. She knew that Ye Xiaotian and Ning 'er had once gone through thick and thin together. Although she was Ye Xiaotian's wife, they had spent most of their time scheming against each other. If it were not for a strange combination of circumstances, she would not have chosen Ye Xiaotian, and Ye Xiaotian would not have chosen her either.
As a result, she felt a sense of danger inside. In particular, she had a glorious history of causing the deaths of her three fiancés. This charming young lady actually hid a deep sense of inferiority under her aloof appearance.
She did not feel that her appearance or background gave her any advantage over Yingying or Ning 'er. In her eyes, the only area in which she surpassed these two close friends was her ability to manage a large clan. As a result, she had to return everything that Ye Xiaotian had entrusted to her to manage to Ye Xiaotian perfectly.
"They've caught up!"
"Quick! Climb up the mountain path! We'll guard the entrance to our deaths! Sir will receive us very soon! "
The group of people who seemed to be merchants immediately became flustered as they drove the carriages. As soon as they saw the mountain path, they immediately drove over in a panic. Since they had already been targeted, there was no reason for them to continue their disguise. Their carriages were filled with stolen goods, and once they checked, they would be caught red-handed. There was no way to hide.
At this moment, they were at a fork in the road. The road ahead led to Shi Qian's residence and the Zhan Residence. The road on the left led to the mountain ridge in the direction of Old Horse Valley, which was also the direction that Tian Miaowen and the rest were rushing towards. The road on the right led to a winding mountain path. On one side of the winding mountain path was a cliff, and on the other side was an unobstructed cliff.
Under such circumstances, if they continued forward, they would definitely be caught by Tian Miaowen and the rest. Thus, it was better to turn towards the winding mountain path. This way, one side of the mountain path was a cliff, and the other side was a cliff. There was only a narrow winding mountain path. Although the group of people transporting the goods were few in number, the narrow mountain path could not accommodate many people. They could still hold their ground and wait for reinforcements.
Their plan was correct, and it was also the best way to face the pursuers. Tian Miaowen saw through their plan at a glance. In order to advance and retreat quickly, Tian Miaowen's group was all cavalry, and there were only about three hundred people. How could they afford to waste time? If they really waited for the Zhan Family to come and receive them, then the situation would be gone. She couldn't help but say anxiously, "Stop them! Finish the battle quickly! "
Hua Yunfei shot out three arrows in a row. The first arrow killed the driver of the carriage. The second arrow killed a knight who was guarding the carriage. Taking advantage of the fact that the carriage had lost control, the horse slightly leaned to the side, and the third arrow shot towards the chest of the horse.
The mountain path was very narrow. As long as one carriage passed, the side could only accommodate one or two lines of people. It was impossible for two carriages to pass at the same time. Hua Yunfei wanted to shoot the horse in front of the carriage to block the road and prevent the convoy from escaping. Unfortunately, horses were different from humans at the end of the day. Even though his arrow that he was determined to kill had hit its target, it failed to take the horse's life immediately.
The third arrow failed to kill in a single shot. Under the pain, the horse instead sped up. With a painful neigh, it galloped madly towards the winding mountain path …
… …
"Young master, Luo Li Gao Chariot's people have already entered Crouching Bull Ridge! According to the plan, they've already buried the goods to lure the enemy. The light carriages are advancing! "
"Alright!"
"Young master, Ye Xiaotian has caught up to them, but they seem to have discovered something. They've split into two groups. One group chases after the empty carriages, while the other lunges towards the location of the burial."
"What a pity! I wonder who's gone to the location of the burial. It'd be best if Ye Xiaotian chases them to the Shiqian Mountains and dies! "
"Young master, the people of Crouching Bull Ridge can't hold themselves back anymore either. They've mobilized around three hundred people. Looking at the direction, they're also heading towards the Shiqian Mountains."
"Hahahaha … Just as I expected!" Tian Binfei laughed aloud. He closed his fan and chopped down gently on his palm. "This sister of mine is just too headstrong! I knew she wouldn't accept this. It's just a batch of military resources. Why must she do this? Why must she do this? "
Tian Binfei shook his head and sighed. He seemed unconvinced, but the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were smiling. If the resources were stolen and the people sent to retrieve them all died, his sister would definitely be blamed. However, the Crouching Bull Ridge had already split into two factions, so there would definitely be a faction that would protect his sister to the death.
Ye Xiaotian's return was a variable, but it was not a major problem. He hid in the shadows. He would have plenty of phone calls. In the past, he had not taken action because Ye Xiaotian was an important, indispensable assistance to him in reviving the Tian Clan. Now that Ye Xiaotian was gone, he could still use his sister to control this force. Why did he still have to live?
"Young master! Young master! The people of Crouching Bull Ridge have chased past Mercury mountain, but … but I'm hiding in the mountains. I seem to have seen … "
"Hmm?"
Tian Binfei glared at the stuttering spy in displeasure. "But what?"
The spy stuttered, "I- it seems like the first young miss has personally led the group in pursuit."
Tian Binfei was taken aback at first before his face changed drastically. He became sheet-white. He pulled the spy in front of him and said sternly, "What do you mean seems like? Did the first young miss personally go after them?"
Under Tian Binfei's interrogation, the spy replied with a trembling voice, "I- it was the first young miss! Unless there's someone who looks exactly the same as the first young miss, I definitely wouldn't be wrong! "
Tian Binfei relaxed his hands in a daze and slowly took a few steps back. "Tough needles! Tough needles! What are you doing there? Why are you going to such a dangerous place? For the sake of Ye Xiaotian, are you going to spare no effort? Ah! "
Towards the end, Tian Binfei suddenly cried out. He looked around in panic. "Horses! Quick, get a horse! "
Tian Binfei was hiding in the mountains, so where would he get a horse from? His subordinates said in panic, "Young master?"
Tian Binfei saw the spy's black horse with a single glance and immediately strode over. He leapt onto the horse and shook the reins, charging off like he was flying.
His subordinates chased after him in panic and called out, "Young master! Young master! "
Tian Binfei turned a deaf ear to them. Right now, all he could think about was the scene of his beloved sister being blown to smithereens by the ambush he had personally set up. As soon as he thought about it, he felt like his heart was fried. He was only tempted to grow a pair of wings on his back and immediately fly to Crouching Bull Ridge to save his sister. He could not care about anything else.
… …
"Sir, look!" A guard pried open a chest with a knife and said to Ye Xiaotian.
The chest was filled to the brim with medicinal ingredients. Ye Xiaotian did not know what they were, but most of the mountain warriors under him did. They reported to him, "Sir, these seem to be medicinal ingredients used to refine excellent medicine. They're most suitable for use in the army."
"This chest is full of armor. Sir, look!" Ye Xiaotian's group had not brought any shovels or pickaxes, but the people who had hidden the items had not buried them very deeply in the first place. They used their weapons to pry open the hole.
Ye Xiaotian ordered, "Help Sun Weixuan over!"
Sun Weixuan was supported by two people as he limped over to the hole. He looked inside and said excitedly, "Sir, that's right! These are the items we've stolen! However … these items are only a third of the items we've stolen. "
Ye Xiaotian said in doubt, "Strange! Why would they bury the items here? "
One of the guards said, "They probably saw that we were chasing them closely and that they could not escape, so they hid the items here. They drove an empty carriage and thought that we would continue chasing them. They did not know that third master Hua is the best at finding traces. As soon as their carriage was light, the ruts became shallow and they were discovered immediately. "
Ye Xiaotian shook his head, "That doesn't make sense. The items were originally hidden well in Luoyan Valley. As soon as their tracks were exposed, they should have known that they could not escape us with so many items. Even if they did not think of it at the time, they should have thought it through when they were being chased by Yunfei yesterday. Why didn't they hide in the dark last night? There's a trap, there must be a trap! "
Sun Weixuan was shocked, but he also felt relieved for some reason. He did not have any feelings for Ye Xiaotian, but he did not have any feelings for Law Tycoon. He had no choice but to kill his brothers under the young master's coercion. If he had not killed them at the time, they would have died in the young master's hands and he would have died as well. He might have even implicated his family.
However, if he had the chance to keep these brothers of his for several years alive, he would certainly not want them to die. Therefore, when Ye Xiaotian saw through this, Sun Weixuan felt very conflicted.
Ye Xiaotian's eyebrows gradually rose. He was not an immortal who could predict the future and could not guess what was going on. However, he knew that if they continued chasing, there would definitely be something wrong. Ye Xiaotian said sternly, "Quickly! Chase after Daheng and the others immediately and tell them to stop! "
