Chapter 767: Chapter 767 Fool Saves the Day Chapter 767: Chapter 767 Fool Saves the Day Bai Lingyu saw the three newly joined mbers looking confused and couldn’t help but laugh as she told them about their brother Fool’s antics.
She recounted how he would pretend to be a zombie in the middle of the night, how he played house with them, how he caught bugs with them, and so on.
The crowd suddenly had an epiphany, “So, he really is a fool.”
It seed that catching bugs and birds on land and sea was, well… quite a busy affair.
Yuwen Qi: …
At this mont, Yuwen Qi had no idea that his friend in the Imperial Capital had just ridiculed him; he was carefully crawling on a hilltop, scouting the movents below.
Their small detachnt was dressed only in black, without even any armor.
However, the place they were monitoring was a large military camp, guarded by soldiers clad in armor, light on their feet, with eyes as sharp as torches.
All these soldiers belonged to the Ninth Prince.
They had only occupied the Eastern Land not long ago, and remnants of the Third Prince’s forces were still nurous. Moreover, their stronghold was filled with captives, leaving one to wonder if anyone would attempt a rescue.
Therefore, despite being a rear camp, the soldiers did not dare to let their guard down.
The soldiers stationed there had no idea that a daring little group had secretly arrived on their turf, waiting for nightfall to launch an attack.
As The Sun set in the west and dusk fell, the soldiers changed shifts and had their als; several arrows tipped with firelight cut through the sky, silently landing in a corner of the camp.
Before long, the granary was ablaze. Upon seeing the sudden fire, all the soldiers were stunned.
As everyone scrambled to extinguish the fire, Yuwen Qi led his team in a dash down the slope, heading straight for the captive’s camp.
At this ti, La Man Uncle, One-eyed Uncle, and One-ard Uncle were laboring in the granary area with the remaining twenty-odd mbers of the Tube-shaped Building’s weak, sick, and elderly, when the sudden fire broke out, leaving them all startled before they hurried to put it out.
But soon, La Man Uncle sensed sothing was amiss. He found several burning arrow feathers; this fire was no accident, it was intentional.
As an experienced La Man from the battlefield, he instantly understood they had been invaded, perhaps by remnants of the Third Prince’s forces striking back.
He imdiately lost interest in putting out the fire and instead started signaling to his companions.
Thus, as a stream of soldiers kept arriving to fight the fire, the twenty-odd weakened individuals quietly retreated from the front line.
The group naturally moved to the outskirts, and just as La Man Uncle was about to lead everyone to a relatively safe place to endure the attack, they spotted a group of black-clothed people rushing towards them in the distance.
His first instinct was to run away to avoid becoming collateral damage, but after taking a few steps he suddenly realized sothing was off.
La Man Uncle looked back again and saw the black-clothed leader looking very familiar, almost like… Fool.
La Man was dumbfounded. One-Eyed saw La Man spacing out and couldn’t help but yell, “Are you mad? What are you dazing off at this ti for?”
La Man suddenly snapped back to reality, “No, that’s not it… Everyone, stop running, co back quickly.”
“???” Everyone was bewildered. Not run? Wouldn’t staying be suicide?
Had La Man gone mad?
The group wanted to snap La Man out of his sudden insanity, but when they turned around they saw Fool getting closer and closer.
Fool was charging at them, brandishing a large knife.
The soldiers at the rear were all preoccupied with putting out the fire and didn’t notice the inconspicuous corner where Fool had stealthily led a dozen people in and then just as silently took away La Man Uncle and the other twenty-odd weakened individuals.
When the granary caught fire, it was first thought to be an accident; then it was suspected to be an enemy attack. But when they were fully alert, they realized the expected foes hadn’t co at all. Apart from the fire, nothing else had happened.
