Chapter 366 Discussing Countermeasures
A group of people held torches and rode fast horses for nearly an hour and a half in the dark night. When everyone felt a little tired, the leading yamen suddenly shouted, "Here we are!"

At this moment, there are several contiguous mountains in front of everyone's eyes. Because the terrain around Qingcheng is relatively flat and there are many hills and mountains, it is rare to see such continuous mountains.Now these high mountains are quite majestic and majestic in the eyes of everyone.

Below these connected mountains is a deep valley. According to the leader of the Yachai, the stockade that was flattened before is hidden in this deep valley.

Everyone looked up, and in the deep valley in between, there was a faint light, suspected to be candlelight.

Seeing this light, everyone became more and more sure that the village that had been flattened was now revived and took advantage of today to snatch Qiulin's sedan chair!

Xia Yan and Murong Yunfan glanced at each other as if drawn by something, Xia Yan saw the inscrutable look in Murong Yunfan's eyes, and didn't know what he was going to do.

At this moment, he hurriedly said to the leading yamen servant: "I will go in first to find out, and you will follow after me. After I rescue Qiulin, I will release the fireworks. You will rush into the stockade."

After all, he ignored the arguments and objections of the group of officials behind him, put out the torch, and plunged in.

Murong Yunfan looked at Xia Yan's swaying figure in the dark night without saying a word, then extinguished the torch in his hand, and followed Xia Yan's pace.

Hearing the sound of firm footsteps behind him, Xia Yan turned his head involuntarily, just in time to see Murong Yunfan's dark eyes also looking this way.

At this time, there was no previous contempt and ridicule in his eyes, and there was firmness and determination in those dark eyes.His icy voice sounded slowly in the dark night.

"Since you can single-handedly break into the den of thieves for Qiulin, I can do the same!" Murong Yunfan knew that this was his last chance, and if he missed this opportunity, he would never be able to get as close as he did today in his life. Qiulin.

Xia Yan was moved by Murong Yunfan's decisive words.

If it wasn't for Qiulin, maybe the two of them would become friends.

In the darkness, Xia Yan nodded slightly to the determined Murong Yunfan. "Okay, then let's break into the wolf's den and rescue Qiulin together!"

The two groped carefully along the small path leading into the deep valley and went into the deep valley.The moonlight is still bright today, otherwise it would really be dark.

The terrain of this place is relatively steep, there are cliffs several feet high under the narrow path, and there is a rushing water flow under the cliff.If you are not careful, you will fall off the cliff and let the flood wash away.

The terrain here is so precipitous, even in broad daylight, people who pass by here will be frightened by the steep cliffs and rushing water, not to mention that in such a big night, they have to be more careful when walking.

Fortunately, Xia Yan used to go up the mountain to collect herbs, and he was used to walking those small trails. Sometimes the medicine grew on the edge of the cliff, and he still had to hang a rope to collect the medicine.Seeing this steep cliff now, I don't think it is very scary, just be careful.

Murong Yunfan followed closely behind Xia Yan, with a serious and solemn face that could not be seen the slightest bit of fear.Seeing him walking on the narrow path with a hunting look, he seems to be a bit of a family boy.

Both of them had the guts to break into the den of wolves and tigers, so how could they shrink back in fear of the several feet high cliff and the narrow path in front of them?

This road is full of such steep cliffs, which can only be passed by one person.At one point, there is a single-plank bridge that spans the turbulent water.Go in from here, and then turn a big bend along the path, and you will get closer to the thief's stockade.

The lush forests and bamboos here are planted with pines, cypresses and bamboo forests that are as usual in all seasons. Everywhere is gloomy and green, not showing the slightest depression in the late winter and early spring.

It is precisely because of the lush trees and dangerous terrain here that bandits gather here.

After going around that big bend, we saw a small road leading directly to the deep valley.There was a faint fire coming from a place about a few hundred meters away, and it seemed that it was not far from the village.

Xia Yan and Murong Yunfan glanced at each other in unison, with a lot of thoughts in their hearts.

It seems that going further is the gate of the stockade, I'm afraid there will be sentries guarding there.If they passed by like this, they would definitely be caught!

The two of them looked around the valley in the dark. The cottage was built next to the river. It's the cliffs and the turbulent river, where is there any other way to find?

It seems that there is only one way left to enter this cottage.

Both looked tense.Comparing brute force with these bandits and rogues of the three major warriors, they will definitely not be able to.What's more, Qiulin is still in their hands. If they force it, these people will be able to do anything once they become wild.In case something happened to Qiulin, wouldn't the gain outweigh the loss?
It seems that head-to-head confrontation is absolutely impossible. If you want to save Qiulin from the den of thieves, you need to be outsmarted.

Under such circumstances, the only way to get in is to disguise yourself.

The two of them stayed here for about a quarter of an hour. Xia Yan, who was silent, suddenly had a ray of light in his eyes, and looked at Murong Yunfan who was beside him with burning eyes.

Murong Yunfan also raised his eyes at this time, seeing the shimmering light in Xia Yan's eyes, he suddenly felt something was wrong.His face became serious, and the awe-inspiring temperament around him became more and more like a world of ice and snow.

Seeing his reaction, Xia Yan puffed his mouth, and continued to say bravely: "These bandits fall into the grass and become bandits, most of them just because they can't live on."

"Most of them are bullying and compassionate people. As long as we pretend to be more pitiful than them, we will definitely be able to sneak into the cottage!" Xia Yan found neither blood nor a dead body at the scene of the accident. In looting property, not keen on killing.Presumably they are not crazy, ruthless people.

"So what do you want to say?" Compared with Xia Yan's clear and logical words, Murong Yunfan's mood seemed more urgent.He bypassed what Xia Yan said just now, and directly asked him what method he had come up with.

Xia Yan turned his lips and said earnestly: "In this case, why don't we take advantage of their sympathy for ordinary people? Of course, if we want to pretend to be weak, we'd better disguise ourselves as women, so that we can win everyone's sympathy!"

Think about it, if a delicate girl and a young and handsome young man stand in front of everyone, which one do you think will win everyone's sympathy?
After weighing it for a while, Xia Yan felt that this method was the easiest to sneak into the cottage.This method is simple and not rude, and it can also fight with those bandits without being discovered, isn't it great?
