Zhao Xin looked utterly aggrieved.
Seeing Ruan Qixiang's impatient expression,
He could only step aside.
I dared not say anything more.
"Continue the advance!"
Ruan Qixiang gave a loud command.
"Everyone who captures the wife of the Liangshan bandit leader will be richly rewarded!"
......
The soldiers of Yizhou Prefecture braved the scorching sun.
Marching in the sweltering heat,
In Anle Village,
We have already received word of this.
After Liu Guang fainted last night,
At Chen Xizhen's urging
The Liu family had already packed their things.
Originally, according to Liu Huiniang's wishes...
Taking advantage of the darkness,
Leaving Rouge Mountain directly is the safest option.
But when they didn't want to leave,
Liu Guang suddenly woke up.
Upon seeing his family, everyone was carrying large and small bags.
Then I heard Chen Xizhen say that they were going to become outlaws.
Liu Guang naturally couldn't accept it.
Holding a long sword, he blocked the doorway.
They wouldn't let everyone leave.
Liu Guang refused to accept the fact that his family had become wanted criminals by the imperial court.
All I hope for is...
Everything Han Bolong said was false information.
But this little wish,
The able-bodied men from Rouge Mountain also came down to report.
They said the government troops had arrived nearby.
And utterly shattered!
Although Liu Guang was blindly loyal to the Song court,
But he was originally a military commissioner of Yizhou.
Of course, he's not stupid.
Near Rouge Mountain,
Although there were also bandits,
But most of them were small-time thieves in groups of three or five.
There's no way they could let the five hundred elite soldiers of Yizhou Prefecture...
They came specifically to suppress the bandits.
So what is the purpose of their visit?
It is obviously self-evident.
"Father, some of the village soldiers are literate, and they say that the Yizhou Prefecture government troops are flying a Ruan-character flag,"
Liu Huiniang advised,
"It seems that it's Ruan Qixiang who's coming this time!"
"Our family has a long-standing feud with the Ruan family. If we don't leave now, we might end up in their hands, and then..."
"Hmph, isn't it all because of your improper behavior? If you had nothing to do with Liangshan, then even if Ruan Qixiang wanted revenge, what excuse would he have?"
Liu Guang said angrily.
Liu Huiniang bit her red lips in grievance.
Seeing that her father remained obsessed,
She couldn't help but say,
"Father, according to you, you lost your position as defense commissioner because you were careless in your work?"
"Otherwise, where would Ruan Qixiang get the excuse to take your position?"
"you!"
Liu Guang was so angry that his face turned red.
Liu Huiniang's words,
But it hit his weak spot.
"Brother, let's hurry and go,"
Chen Xizhen saw that Liu Guang's face had turned pale and blue.
He quickly began to persuade them.
“Ah Xiu is right, Yizhou Prefecture is now entirely under the control of the Ruan family,”
"If we delay any longer, once the government troops surround Anle Village, we won't be able to leave even if we want to."
"You may not be afraid of Ruan Qixiang, but what about the children?"
"Can you bear to see them being humiliated by that Ruan Qixiang?"
Liu Guang listened silently.
After a while,
He then let out a long sigh.
"Let's go, let's become outlaws!"
Seeing that his father had come to his senses,
Liu Huiniang was naturally overjoyed.
Everyone packed their things,
Everything was loaded onto the carriage.
Then they hurried out of the village.
"Aren't the soldiers from Yizhou Prefecture already nearby?"
Seeing that the carriage was moving slowly, Liu Guang
He couldn't help but frown and say,
"At this rate, we'll be caught up by the Yizhou government troops sooner or later. I'll stay behind to cover our retreat!"
“Ruan Qixiang has a grudge against me, so it would be best if I could lure him away.”
"Dad, it's alright!"
Liu Huiniang comforted her,
"I've already made arrangements. If the soldiers of Yizhou Prefecture don't pursue us, fine. But if they dare to catch up, I'll make sure they flee in disarray..."
Chapter 505 Sorghum Ambush
The Liu family and Chen Xizhen and her father packed their things.
Driving the horse-drawn carriage,
They left Anle Village and headed towards Yuanbi Village.
Besides their own family members,
There were also twenty or thirty able-bodied men from Anle Village.
These are all villagers who couldn't make a living.
He was willing to go out and explore with the Liu family.
The Liu family had just left when
Not long after,
The soldiers from Yizhou Prefecture had already arrived at Anle Village.
Under interrogation by the soldiers
Ruan Qixiang soon learned that
The Liangshan bandits in this village
It turned out to be the Liu Guang family, with whom he had a grudge.
Upon learning this news,
The first thing that came to Ruan Qixiang's mind was...
The question is whether Liu Guang will seek revenge against Liangshan.
I've heard about those bandits...
They're all daredevils!
If they were truly willing to risk their lives to avenge Liu Guang,
Then myself.....
Thinking of this,
Ruan Qixiang immediately shivered.
"Liu Guang was once a general in the imperial court, but I never expected him to marry his daughter to the leader of the Liangshan bandits!"
Ruan Qixiang gritted his teeth and gave the order.
"Zhao Xin, you immediately lead the cavalry to pursue and capture them!"
"The infantrymen must follow closely behind and bring Liu Guang and his entire family to justice!"
"Yes!"
Zhao Xin responded.
Hurry up and organize the army horses.
Ruan Qixiang didn't even have time to rest.
They quickly ordered the infantry to rest for a while.
He then went to chase after the cavalry!
.........
Zhao Xin led several dozen cavalrymen,
Following the villagers' instructions,
They chased after Liu Guang's family in the direction they had fled.
The cavalry followed the mountain path,
