Qin Ming and his men led their troops to capture Erlong Mountain.
However, when counting the number of bandits, Chao Gai and his men were nowhere to be found.
Huang Xin found an old thief, interrogated him briefly,
They then learned that Chao Gai and the others had already escaped.
The reason why Qingzhou attacked Erlong Mountain this time was
Suppressing bandits is only one aspect.
More importantly, they captured Chao Gai and his men.
Give Cai Jing an explanation.
If Chao Gai and his men were to escape,
They then captured Erlong Mountain.
He wouldn't be able to explain it to Murong Yanda if he went back.
Qin Ming and Huang Xin both knew this.
He then ordered Hua Rong to gather his soldiers and guard the prisoners.
The two men personally led two hundred cavalrymen and chased after the old thief in the direction he had indicated.
.......
Chao Gai and his four companions rode horses and fought their way out of Erlong Mountain.
Then they didn't know where to go next.
"Brother, why don't we go and join Liangshan?"
Liu Tang suggested,
"The heroes of Liangshan are all true heroes; they will surely take us in."
"inappropriate,"
Wu Yong shook his head.
“We were rescued by Liangshan when we were in trouble before. Now that Qin Ming, Huang Xin and the others are attacking Erlong Mountain, they will definitely be wary of us escaping to Liangshan!”
"The road west to Liangshan may already be heavily fortified with ambushes. Wouldn't we be walking into a trap if we went there?"
"But apart from Liangshan, where else can we go in Shandong?" Chao Gai said helplessly.
"East of Erlong Mountain, there are two places: Peach Blossom Mountain and Qingfeng Mountain. Heroes gather on both mountains."
Gongsun Sheng pondered for a moment and then said...
"In my humble opinion, we should first go and join them, and then find an opportunity to go to Liangshan after some time has passed!"
Chao Gai, Wu Yong, and Liu Tang all nodded in agreement.
Bai Sheng, of course, had no objections.
The group of five discussed and agreed on the plan.
They immediately headed towards Peach Blossom Mountain.
......
Peach Blossom Village at the foot of Peach Blossom Mountain
Looking at the stunningly beautiful young lady from the Liu family,
The tyrant Zhou Tong was about to drag him into the house to perform the rituals of love.
Just then, a henchman came to report.
"Second King, distinguished guests have arrived on the mountain. The First King commands you to return immediately!"
"What distinguished guest? Do I have to go back and greet him personally?"
Zhou Tong said in a fit of rage,
"I'm still waiting for my wedding night!"
"Second King, I heard it's Chao Gai and his men from Jizhou who robbed the birthday gifts,"
The henchman explained,
"Their Erlong Mountain has already been captured by the Qingzhou government troops..."
"Damn it, I thought they were some important guests, but they're just a bunch of scoundrels who've lost their home."
Zhou Tong cursed angrily, looking at the beautiful young lady from the Liu family before him.
They wanted to continue their wedding night, but were worried about missing their plans on the mountain.
"Damn it, are we really just not meant to be?"
Zhou Tong looked at the young lady of the Liu family and muttered to himself.
"Last time it was that bald monk who came to cause trouble, and this time another group has appeared!"
"Someone, find a sedan chair and carry my wife and father-in-law in. We'll go back to the mountain and hold the wedding ceremony again!"
The henchmen quickly found six or seven donkey carts.
They loaded all the grain and valuables they had looted from the village onto the truck.
Then they found two more sedan chairs.
Carry Mr. Liu and his wife up.
Heading towards Peach Blossom Mountain.
This week, along the Tongyi Road,
Still dreaming of returning to the bridal chamber in the mountains,
Unexpectedly, halfway through the journey, when they were still about ten miles away from Peach Blossom Mountain,
Then they rushed to the scene and the road suddenly shook.
Zhou Tong is a seasoned thief.
Upon seeing this commotion, one knows that a large cavalry force is heading this way...
Chapter 312 The Liu Family Father and Daughter
Thinking of Qingzhou, there must be a large cavalry force there.
That would only be the Qingzhou government.
Zhou Tong immediately tensed up upon thinking of this.
The best course of action now is...
Naturally, they would immediately abandon their food and money.
I quickly ran back to Peach Blossom Mountain.
only......
Zhou Tong glanced at Old Master Liu and his young mistress inside the two sedan chairs.
For a moment, I felt extremely reluctant to part with it.
Just as Little Tyrant was hesitating...
The Qingzhou general on the other side,
Qin Ming and Huang Xin also noticed the group of bandits blocking their way.
They were still on their way to capture Chao Gai and his men.
Is this going to cause an unexpected problem?
Huang Xin looked at Qin Ming.
Qin Ming remained silent, but simply stretched out his hand.
Then his men brought him his heavy, broken mace.
Seeing this, Huang Xin understood his master's meaning and drew his own longsword.
"We are soldiers of Qingzhou, and our duty is to protect the peace of Qingzhou. Since we have encountered bandits, we will wipe them out and restore peace to the people!"
As soon as Qin Ming finished speaking,
He then took the lead and charged towards the bandits on the opposite side.
Huang Xin did not hesitate.
He quickly gave a shout and led two hundred cavalrymen...
They charged forward with overwhelming force!
These cavalrymen were considered among the elite of the Imperial Guards.
A few days ago, when facing the soldiers of Liangshan,
But they could only flee in disarray.
The cavalrymen naturally felt humiliated.
The attack on Erlong Mountain just now,
Because of the passes, most of the troops were infantry.
The cavalry had been feeling frustrated until now.
His heart was naturally filled with anger.
At this moment, facing the bandits of Peach Blossom Mountain,
These two hundred-odd cavalrymen immediately found a place to vent their anger.
Before the two sides made contact,
The bandits from Peach Blossom Mountain faced the menacing cavalry.
They were already terrified.
They screamed and began to scatter and flee.
At this point,
Zhou Tong no longer needs to be troubled.
Let alone Liu Taigong and his daughter, even ordinary henchmen...
He didn't even have time to greet them.
He only cared about whipping the horse beneath him.
They struggled to escape towards Peach Blossom Mountain.
Zhou Tong successfully escaped.
Most of the remaining Peach Blossom Mountain henchmen didn't even have a mount.
How could they possibly outrun a cavalry force?
They were quickly caught up by the Qingzhou soldiers.
Then kill him directly.
Huang Xin also caught up with a bandit.
Judging from his clothing,
He was clearly a bit stronger than the other henchmen around him.
Huang Xin raised his longsword, ready to behead this minor leader of the bandits.
The bandit was facing a life-or-death situation.
But suddenly he knelt down on the ground.
"General, spare my life! I have crucial secrets from Peach Blossom Mountain to report!"
"Say!"
