Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 316: Thunder and Rain in the Thornball Mountain
Looking at the detailed map in his hand, the Ciqiu Mountain was to the northwest of Yang Qian's location, only a dozen miles away in a straight line.

The map was obtained from the military office before the departure. It was a top-level global map. Only Yang Qian could take it, and it was kept in his storage bag.

Ciqiu Mountain is an inconspicuous hill, only a dozen miles long. The map shows a simple description: pine forest, fireproof, few wild animals in the forest.

The reason for the night attack on Ciqiu Mountain was that the three tongues captured earlier indicated that Ciqiu Mountain was now the temporary camp for the Xingsheng League's operation. The continuous mountain range was right next to the official road that Yang Qian and his party were taking to Shuangqing Prefecture City, so they could hide there without being discovered.

Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, the Xingsheng Alliance will be almost assembled, and by then Yang Qian will be their "big deal" to launch the attack.

Yang Qian's idea was simple. He held the order in his hand, and from the moment he set foot on the land of Shuangqing Prefecture, he had entered his jurisdiction. Since someone in his jurisdiction was offering him experience as a welcome gift, how could he refuse?
It was also a good opportunity to see what kind of ability the people in Shuangqing Mansion who wanted him dead had, how powerful a scheme they could set up, and whether they could kill him.

Although the inner guards were all monks, they were also experienced in actual combat. As soon as Yang Qian's order came, they immediately knew what to do.

Leaving the baggage camp in place as a cover, the remaining seventy people began to follow Yang Qian in the dark towards Ciqiu Mountain. They did not ride horses, but each of them used their own skills.

The distance of more than ten miles was not far. In less than a meal's time, Yang Qian led his men all the way to the foot of the Ciqiu Mountain.

"Sir, according to Tongue, the enemy's temporary camp is halfway up the main peak. You see, it should be where you can vaguely see the fire. I think it's better to go straight to the dragon's head instead of bit by bit!"

Juan had spent a considerable amount of time in the military, and although he might not have much experience in large-scale strategic planning, he was very familiar with this type of small-scale surprise attack.

With a strong man like Yang Qian on his side, a surprise attack would be the most appropriate way to go straight in and break the opponent's vital points directly, and the rest would be just a matter of sweeping away all the enemies.

Moreover, Juan knew that Yang Qian had no experience in this area, so he first proposed the most feasible strategy. Even if Yang Qian wanted to change his offensive route, he could change it based on this basic idea so that it would not be too outrageous.

Yang Qian also understood Juan's intention. After all, strictly speaking, this was already a war. It was a military matter, a matter of life and death, and he couldn't let a complete layman like him blindly command.

But Yang Qian never felt that he needed to learn how to fight, nor did he feel that the situation he faced required military strategies to resolve.

Even this time, Yang Qian did not bring people here to achieve his goal by participating in the killing. He hoped that there would be some audiences for this big show. The imperial guards including Juan were the most suitable audiences.

Waving his hand, Yang Qian did not let Hu An continue, interrupting him and saying, "Deputy Hu is worrying too much. Yang Qian has always been the most self-aware. I don't understand war strategies at all. If I really need to use them, I will definitely ask an expert like Deputy Hu to take care of it.

For now, just clear out the scouts along the way, and I will take care of the rest."

wipe out?!
When Hu An heard this, he didn't understand at first, but then he sensed the determination and confidence in Yang Qian's words, so he didn't ask any more questions and hurried down to pass on the order.

During the whole process, Yang Qian and his team did not slow down.

Under the sweep of the Yuanying realm's divine sense, not a blade of grass, a tree, an insect, or a bird within a hundred feet could hide from him, not to mention the Xingsheng League's secret sentries hiding in the dark, who had already relaxed their vigilance and were so blatantly visible when swept by Yang Qian's divine sense that they were like being naked.

Generally speaking, Yang Qian did not ask the inner guards to do anything, he could handle it by himself. Often from a long distance, invisible blade beams would be cast over, silently, and all he would receive were the kill prompts that popped up on the experience panel.

These are all rubbish experiences. It can only be said that Yang Qian is too poor now, and he doesn't want to let go of even the smallest opportunity, so he has to do it himself. Otherwise, he can save trouble by letting the inner guards do it.

When the distance was enough, Yang Qian ordered all his men to be on alert and wait and see. "Sir, what do you want?"

“Have you ever seen a thunderstorm?”

"Ah?" Juan was a little confused. He didn't understand why Yang Qian suddenly said such a strange word. Thunderstorm? Thunderstorm? Did he miss a word?
Yang Qian said nothing more. Many things are more interesting than being done.

Then Yang Qian stepped on his magic disk and flew into the air. In the blink of an eye, he was high in the sky and soon stopped at a height of more than three hundred feet.

Juan and the others on the ground were dumbfounded. They knew that Yang Qian could fly with a flying device, and everyone knew that Yang Qian had returned to Jizhou City in this way before. But at this time, with evil spirits and bandits so close, why would Yang Qian, the strongest fighter, fly into the sky?
Besides, this was too high. Not only was he completely invisible at night, but even Juan and the others had lost all sense of Yang Qian.

What is this for?
"Vice-Servant Hu, what does Lord Yang mean by this?"

"I'm not sure, but Lord Yang is not a reckless person. Since he asked us to stay put for the time being, then let's do it for now. I think there should be some changes soon, otherwise Lord Yang would not leave any explanation."

This seemingly random action did not cause any complaints from the inner guards present. After all, Yang Qian's "guidance" over such a long time had convinced these inner guards of the imperial city. At this time, they were more confused.

As soon as Juan finished speaking, a muffled thunder suddenly sounded without any warning.

boom!
What's strange is that there was no lightning despite the thunder, and the direction seemed to be directly above the main peak of the Thorny Ball Mountain in front.

thunder?

When I looked up, I found that the starry night sky had become dark and overcast, almost pressing down on the top of the Thorny Ball Mountain. The clouds were rolling, as if something was brewing inside.

But it was too dark. Even though Juan and the others were all monks, their vision was still severely limited in the dark. Moreover, the dark clouds made it almost impossible to see any light. It was a stretch for them to see some general appearance.

But soon, a ray of light tore through the darkness and instantly illuminated the entire earth.

Click!

Rumble!
Juan found this scene of thunder and lightning very strange, because even though it was the prelude to a thunderstorm, there was no moisture or stuffiness in the air.

Moreover, the flashing lightning on the dark clouds was concentrated on the main peak of the Thorn Ball Mountain and the surrounding area within a mile or two. There was no lightning at all outside the area.

Then, before Juan could wonder, the thundercloud suddenly opened up, just like a basin suddenly had a big hole, and all the contents inside were exposed and fell down!
What could fall from a thundercloud?
Of course it’s Thunder!
In just the blink of an eye, bolts of lightning, as thick as upper arms, flashed dazzling white and purple light and poured down from the low and heavy thunderclouds. The lightning was so violent that people's legs became weak and they could not stand steadily. The fear in their hearts came from their souls!

The lightning was so dense that it even connected into one piece in the dazzling light, and from a distance it looked like a rain curtain?! Or was it more appropriate to say a waterfall?
At this moment, Hu An couldn't help but feel horrified: Could this be the thunderstorm that Lord Yang mentioned?

It's all thunder, falling like rain?
