Capítulo 1399: Chapter 1365: Rescued
Hiss…
Everyone shrunk their necks, squatting on the ground, not daring to move. They all deeply regretted their decision. They regretted it so much they could feel it in their guts. Each one sighed quietly, regretting their relocation from Luoyang Prefecture. They had brought their families along, leaving Luoyang Prefecture, only to encounter such an unexpected situation.
“Take them all away!” ordered the man in the black headscarf, waving his hand.
At this mont, the soldiers who had been hiding nearby finally erged. They intentionally created so noise not far away, chatting and patrolling the mountains. The people seed to notice the patrolling soldiers in the distance and suddenly saw a glimr of hope. One person shouted desperately, “Help, help!”
The two loud cries ‘startled’ the patrolling soldiers across the way. They imdiately sprinted in that direction. The man in the black headscarf shouted, “Damn it. The Luoyang Prefecture soldiers are here, let’s run!”
The man with the black headscarf was quite imrsed in his acting; his expression, his posture, and his fleeing movents were almost seamless. They fled in terror. This scene indeed boosted the reputation of the Luoyang Prefecture soldiers. Moreover, the hundreds of civilians regarded these patrolling soldiers as their lifeline. Upon seeing the group with the black headscarf run away, they all burst into tears.
This scare was perhaps even more terrifying than the last ti the Dark Wolf Gang swept through Luoyang Prefecture. Last ti it was at most a humiliation, but this ti they were to be taken up the mountain to be lifelong slaves. Thinking of this, the people were filled with fear, a dread that emanated from deep within.
When they saw the Luoyang Prefecture soldiers coming to their rescue, it felt as if they had seen the most lovable people, and their dependence on Luoyang Prefecture instantly rose to its peak.
“So of you protect them, the rest follow and pursue them!” ordered little strong, the team leader at the front.
Then, several soldiers imdiately stayed to calm the people’s emotions, while the others quickly pursued up the mountain.
“Heavens, we’re finally saved!”
“This is all thanks to the Luoyang Prefecture soldiers, thanks to our Lord.”
Faced with the soldiers coming to save them, these civilians suddenly felt overwhelming gratitude. They were so excited they almost cried. If it weren’t for this team of Luoyang Prefecture soldiers, they might have been taken up the mountain to be slaves. They were so shocked they quickly made so unexpected decisions. So civilians imdiately knelt on the spot and sobbed, “Thank you, thank you. If it weren’t for you, we would have been taken up the mountain to be slaves. No one would ever know where we went!”
“Yes, young man, I need to thank you!” An elderly man stood up shakily and said, “My daughter just escaped from the wolf’s den, almost sending her into the tiger’s mouth. Alas, I’ve decided not to relocate anymore. No place is as good as Luoyang Prefecture, so I’ve decided to go back!”
“I’m going back too!” a group of people imdiately stood up.
The middle-aged man, who appeared to be kind-looking, was preparing to quietly slip away while the crowd was feeling grateful. However, a sharp-eyed girl scread, “Catch him, he’s with the Dark Wolf Gang. He was the one who urged us to relocate. It’s him. Quick, catch him!”
A few soldiers rushed over imdiately. The middle-aged man was caught by the soldiers after only running a couple of steps. He hastily shouted, “No, don’t talk nonsense. I’m… I’m just an ordinary citizen of Luoyang Prefecture, don’t misrepresent !”
“Hmph, he just admitted it himself!”
“That’s right, he’s with the Dark Wolf Gang. He was the one who urged us to move in Luoyang Prefecture, and he has other accomplices in Luoyang. So you must be careful. They’re all in cahoots!”
The voices of the people were loud, and the power of the people was strong. They quickly frightened this guy. This was troubleso; it implicated the accomplices lurking inside Luoyang Prefecture. Thinking of this, the middle-aged man didn’t know what to do.
In no ti, the soldiers who had chased after the bandits and mountain thieves returned one after another. They ca back empty-handed, complaining as they walked, “Damn it, they ran faster than rabbits!”
“Don’t bla yourself; it’s just that they are more familiar with the terrain here, so you don’t have to bla yourself. They’re just too cunning!”
“Right, let’s quickly escort the villagers back. It’s too dangerous here!”
This group of soldiers talked as they walked, speaking loudly, presumably so the villagers could hear them.
Upon returning, the people all demanded to go back to Luoyang Prefecture. But the soldiers were a little puzzled and quickly asked, “Folks, weren’t you planning to relocate? If you’re really going, I’ll send a few brothers to escort you!”
“No… there’s no need!” the leading elder hastily shook his head and said, “We’ve realized now that those who urged us to leave were with the Dark Wolf Gang. If we really move, wouldn’t we be falling into their trap?”
“Alright, since the folks aren’t leaving, we’ll escort you back the way you ca!” team leader little strong grinned. He hadn’t expected the plan to succeed so easily. And on top of the successful plan, they had also exposed a hidden threat within Luoyang Prefecture. This ti, they had truly achieved a significant accomplishnt. Thinking of this, little strong imdiately revealed a smile of excitent.
“Yes, yes, retrace your steps, hurry up and leave. Otherwise, it will be dark soon!” The townspeople nodded one after another. At this mont, they dared not move forward any longer. If they continued, they would either be caught by bandits to beco slaves or seized by the Dark Wolf Gang to beco slaves. Where could they live as carefree and happy as in Luoyang Prefecture?
The speed of returning by the original route was noticeably faster, taking only half a day instead of the usual half day to return to Luoyang Prefecture, indicating his inner fear. On the way back, he spoke less and kept his head down, hurrying along. It wasn’t until they saw the city gate of Luoyang Prefecture that they breathed a sigh of relief and their spirits relaxed a little.
“Lord, the task is completed!” The assistant hurriedly rushed back and excitedly reported, “Not only is the task completed, but we also accidentally discovered sothing!”
“What is it?” Yao Yue asked urgently.
“There is a malignant tumor of the Dark Wolf Gang within Luoyang Prefecture. It’s them who keep encouraging the villagers to move!” The assistant sneered, “Then they rob them on the road, taking them all away.”
“Hmph, so it was the Dark Wolf Gang causing trouble. This ti, we must root them out completely!” Yao Yue sneered.
“Lord, what shall we do this ti?” the assistant asked hurriedly.
“This ti, we must follow the vine to find the lon!” Yao Yue said with a smile, “For now, don’t alert them. Aren’t they trying to abduct people? Hmph, this ti let’s have them abduct a big one!”
“My lord, you… what do you an?” the assistant looked at Yao Yue in confusion.
Yao Yue smiled indifferently, “This ti we will personally go to battle, and let them abduct us. When the ti cos, we can seize the opportunity to let them know our strength!”
“Ah?!” The assistant was taken aback, then overjoyed, saying, “Makes sense, this way, we can take action by surprise. Hehe…”
“Alright, you handle this matter!” Yao Yue imdiately instructed.
“Yes!” The assistant turned and left. Subsequently, Yao Yue personally went to comfort the frightened villagers, and under Yao Yue’s strategy, the grateful villagers almost wanted to kneel and kowtow.
The assistant’s plan for Yao Yue was indeed good. Let these guys know the benefits of Luoyang Prefecture. After returning to Luoyang Prefecture, these villagers were silenced and not allowed to speak about the Dark Wolf Gang’s issues. Otherwise, if ntioned, it might alert the enemy.
Two days later, the assistant personally found Yao Yue, indicating everything was ready.
“How many people will set out tomorrow?” Yao Yue asked urgently.
“Lord, tomorrow a team of over a thousand people will leave the city. Among them, two people from the Dark Wolf Gang will be leading the team, blending in with the crowd!” the assistant imdiately replied.
“Very good!” Yao Yue nodded and then smiled, “Go, prepare well for tomorrow. Also, have a team follow from a distance, but make sure not to alert them!”
“Yes!” The assistant imdiately nodded.
The next day, a team of a thousand people slowly left the city. These were again a group dissatisfied with Luoyang City and the Lord Mansion. They decided to leave Luoyang Prefecture and the Lord’s rule, determined to venture far away.
“Sigh, are they really leaving?”
“They’re dood; even if they’re not kidnapped by bandits, they’ll be…” A young man was about to continue when an old man beside him stopped him.
“Shut up!” The old man imdiately reprimanded, “Be careful with your words or you’ll lose your head. Be careful, haven’t you forgotten your promise to the Lord Mansion?”
“Oh!” The man imdiately covered his mouth, then chuckled, “I was just expressing so emotion. They are just like we once were. When they reach the mountain, they’ll know regret. It’s just a pity…”
“Shut up!” The old man glared at the young man and then said, “The Lord Mansion must have its plans. You worry too much, unlike us. If it weren’t for good luck back then, we would have definitely died on the mountain. Sigh… the Lord is wise!”
The old man was deeply grateful to Yao Yue, and with the influence of those few hundred people, Yao Yue believed the Lord Mansion’s reputation in Luoyang Prefecture would gradually recover. Their words were powerful.
Among the team of over a thousand, there were beautiful won and strong n. These were what the Dark Wolf Gang needed; won could be used for pleasure and even to procreate for the next generation, while strong n could be used as laborers or even recruited into the army as warriors. So, this group satisfied the Dark Wolf Gang’s undercover agents. They specially dispatched three leaders to mix into the team, heading towards the mountain.
