Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 65 Atonement
In autumn, it gets dark early, but just after Shen Shi, the sky has already dimmed.

"Why haven't you come back yet?"

Wang Yong stood behind the fence of the camp, looking into the distance with his hands behind his back somewhat uneasy.

The mountains are high, the forests are dense, and the mountains are full of red leaves.

In the barracks, there are endless noises. The camp located in Changbai Mountain is remote and dangerous, and there is only one narrow path to reach it.

However, even though there is a dangerous situation where one man is in charge, Wang Yong is still restless.

According to the agreement, Wang Bo should bring the last group of people from Qingyang Villa to retreat into the mountain.

Not only has no one returned from Wang Bo, but even Wang Yonghu has never been heard from.

There were bursts of old crows in the distance.

In the stockade here, there were also a few night owls chirping.

Wang Bodang listened carefully to the echoing voice, a smile gradually appeared on his face.

"Look who's back!"

Several big men hurried down the mountain, and after a while, they came back with a group of people.

"It's Wang Fasi."

"There's also Leopard!"

A group of people came from the winding path, but they were a little embarrassed.

Uncle Wang looked at Wang Bo in a panic, "Brother Wang, what's the matter?"

Wang Bo jumped off his horse, with one arm still hanging around his neck, and couldn't help but sigh when he met him.

"Bodang, my brother was planted this time, and I almost didn't come to see you."

Wang Yongbao shouted from behind, "Sanlang, you have to avenge my brother, damn Zhang Xutuo, damn Qin Qiong, damn Luo Cheng, they killed my brother! There are seventeen more brothers!"

Wang Bodang's expression turned ugly, "What's going on, what's going on?"

Before they could answer, someone shouted from behind, "Hey, isn't this the third son of our Wangzhuang? Didn't he say he was studying in the Chang'an Guozijian, and he said he would become an official in the future? What's the matter? Did you come to this bandit den after reading it?"

"Shut up your fucking nonsense, shut up!" Wang Yongbao yelled angrily.

It was only then that Wang Bodang discovered that in Wang Bo's team, there were still a few people arrested, tied with ropes, and tied to the saddle.

"Fourth Luo?"

"Isn't it your grandpa!"

Wang Bodang knew Luo Si. In the past, Luo Si was idle in the countryside, liked to make friends and often sneaked around, so he also knew him.

It was just unexpected that the two neighbors would meet on this occasion.

When he saw Luo Xiaoliu behind him again, he wasn't too surprised.

"Let me guess, could it be that Qin Qiongluo really made a report after he left, and brought officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress the villa?"

Wang Bo shook his head.

"Sanlang, you are wrong to blame brother Shubao, he is really affectionate and righteous."

"That's Luo Wu?"

"No, Brother Luo Wu is not bad."

He sighed again and again, "If you want to blame, you have to blame Brother Yonghu for being too reckless. When he left that day, he actually caused trouble. He called seventeen brothers from the mountain to ride horses to intercept Shubao and the others, but he didn't know the result. Somehow, the news was missed, but Shubao and the others knew about it. As a result, Shubao and the others made a trap for them to go. Ahu Shibaqi was killed by others, which is embarrassing to say the least. Eighteen riders were killed by eight of Luo Wu and the others."

"Impossible!" Wang Bodang shook his head.

"Is there anything impossible? There were eight of Shubao and the others that day, but now we have six of them. It's Luo Si and the others, but Shu Bao and Luo Wu are not here."

Wang Bodang was even more surprised, "What's going on with these six people?"

"It's a long story to tell!" When Yu Wang Bo then told how Zhang Xutuo led hundreds of soldiers from the county to encircle the village, how he led his brothers to break through, how he was defeated and captured, and how Qin Qiong let him go halfway. , and then he found Wang Yongbao and the others in the mountains after he escaped, and how did he meet Luo Siliu, who attacked the camp but was captured instead.

Wang Bodang didn't know what to say anymore, curled his lips and sighed.

"No, how could Qin Qiong let you go like this? This is probably another trap!" Wang Bodang said suddenly.

"Brother Qin won't do this." Wang Bo still said.

Wang Bodang said anxiously, "Even if Qin Qiong doesn't know how to do it, that Zhang Xutuo is also a mighty fighter. How can he not be on guard against this? He probably planned it long ago. Brother Wang, you came back this time. Bring them here."

Wang Bo was a little panicked now, "It should be impossible."

"Just in case, Brother Wang, we have to move immediately."

"But there are so many people here, as well as those food, money, and young men, and they can't take them away for a while."

"Don't take it with you. The food was set on fire, and the young men we captured were released. We were careless this time. We made a wrong step. It's important to preserve our strength first. Let's withdraw!" Uncle Wang said unwillingly.

"Where are you going?"

"When it gets dark, we will retreat to the north and go to Jishui. There are other brothers there. When the time comes, we will take a boat and leave here to avoid the limelight."

······
At the foot of Changbai Mountain.

County barracks.

Qin Qiong and Luo Cheng came back to answer their orders.

"Jun Cheng, it was the ineffectiveness of his humble position that allowed Wang Bo to escape. Please ask the Jun Cheng to punish him, and the humble position is willing to bear it all."

Zhang Xutuo snorted, "Qin Qiong, is it really as simple as you said?"

"Indeed!"

"Luo Cheng, tell me, is that really the case?"

Luo Cheng nodded, "It's just as Shu Bao said, we were careless, and Wang Bo took the opportunity to escape."

Zhang Xutuo's complexion gradually became ugly.

"Qin Qiong, you let me down. Luo Cheng, I didn't expect you to learn to lie at such a young age. Do you know that there are no jokes in the army, so what is your crime for deceiving the general?"

Qin Qiong fell silent. He knew that since Zhang Xutuo said so, his rhetoric would definitely not be able to deceive Zhang Xutuo.

"General, it's all my fault, just punish me, it's none of Luo Cheng's business."

"Juncheng, please give us a chance, we are willing to make atonement."

"I'll settle this account with you later, and I'll give you a chance now. Luo Cheng, let me tell you some bad news. Before, I asked Luo Si to take a few of you to scout the enemy's situation, but I haven't returned yet. The people sent to check reported that they had fought against a bandit before, but now the camp is empty, but the good news is that their bodies have not been found yet. It is estimated that they are still alive, but they may have been captured gone."

Hearing this news, Luo Cheng was really taken aback.

"Junior Prime Minister!"

"Don't worry, you let Wang Bo escape before, but I expected it, so I arranged for people to follow Wang Bo, and now I report that Wang Bo has already entered the mountain to meet Wang Bodang. A very dangerous cottage."

"Qin Qiong and Luo Cheng, now I will give you a chance to atone for your crimes. The two of you will lead a team of scouts to scout the terrain, find out the situation, and prepare for the attack on the cottage!"

"As ordered!"
