Valley Emperor

Seeing the pleading look on Dong Yunyun's face, Li Xuan stopped opening the door and said after a few seconds of silence, "Hurry up and put on your shoes!"

Dong Yunyun nodded quickly when she heard this. She had been sleeping with clothes for the past two days, so she didn't need to put on extra clothes. After getting out of bed and putting on her shoes, she took small steps to Li Xuan.

After pushing open the door, she came to the outer compartment, Dong Yunyun lowered her voice and said, "I'll go call Pearl!"

Li Xuan did not object, but nodded slightly: "Be careful, don't wake up other people!"

Pearl slept in the hut next to her. After Dong Yunyun went, she saw the master and servant coming back shortly after, but at this moment, Pearl was still carrying a small bag, and she didn't know what was inside. Something, probably clothes or something.

Li Xuan didn't talk to them either, but waved his hand, then quietly opened the door, and took the two women to the place he had made an appointment with with Bai Yunqi, Madam Bai and others.

It was very quiet in the small valley at midnight, and there were no lights around. Although Li Xuan brought the fire book and torches prepared in advance, he didn't light it, but smeared his progress.

It was simply a full moon tonight, and there were no clouds blocking the moonlight in the night sky, allowing Li Xuan and the others to move forward through the dim moonlight.

After walking cautiously for a while, he came to an abandoned wooden house, and Li Xuan also saw his uncle Bai Yunqi, Madam Bai and others.

They also didn't have torches or lanterns, so some of them couldn't see clearly, but they were still able to recognize people.

It was only when they found out that Li Xuan was not alone, but brought Dong Yunyun and Pearl with them, Madam Bai walked up to Li Xuan and said in a low voice, "What's going on with them?"

Li Xuan also lowered his voice: "They noticed it when they went out!"

Although she didn't make it clear, Madam Bai was also a smart person. As soon as she heard it, she could hear the hidden meaning in Li Xuan's words, that is: He didn't intend to bring them with him, but Naihe's whereabouts were exposed. If you take them, if they make a loud noise, then you will not be able to leave, so you can only take them with you.

Madam Bai turned to look at Dong Yunyun and Pearl. Dong Yunyun was a little hairy, and she begged in a panicked tone, "Please!"

Mrs. Bai said: "Don't talk, follow us later, be careful!"

Dong Yunyun and Pearl nodded hurriedly like chickens pecking at rice.

Bai Yunqi, who was at the meeting, also came over: "It's getting late, we should go!"

Madam Bai nodded and said, "Let's go!"

Immediately, the Li Xuan family, Dong Yunyun's master and servant, and the three villagers of the original Lijiazhuang, a total of nine people, walked towards the periphery of the valley in the dark.

A few days ago, Bai Yunqi and Li Xuan, through frequent wandering and secretly observing the situation in the small valley, had already decided to leave the small valley and avoid the path of the bandits patrolling the intersection.

Although the sky is full and the moon is high, there is no torch lighting, and this small valley is not very flat, so it is quite difficult to walk.

Not long after she left, Dong Yunyun just fell down once, but this woman knew that this was not the time to cry out in pain, so she didn't make a sound at all, she quickly stood up with the help of Pearl and continued to follow. the pace of the crowd.

After walking about a mile and around the back of a small dirt slope, everyone lit a small lantern with a fire stick, but the torches and other lanterns in their hands were still useless, and the firelight caused those inspections. the attention of the bandits.

But even if it was like this, with this small lantern and the dim light, it was not as difficult for everyone to walk as before, and the speed of the movement was accelerated by two points.

Bai Yun said oddly, "After we pass through the grove in front of us, we can light a few large lanterns and torches, so that we can walk faster!"

But just as his words fell, Li Shan, the hunter among the crowd, suddenly said, "There is a situation!"

Just as his voice fell, Li Xuan also vaguely heard the noise, which seemed to come from far away.

"What's the matter?" Madam Bai, who was on the side, asked Hui Chen while pulling her.

Bai Yunqi pointed to Taniguchi who entered the valley in the distance and said, "Look, the torches at the intersection over there are also lit. Did they find us?"

"If we are found, the first torch to light up must be in the valley, how could it be Taniguchi!" Li Xuan frowned, at this time he had a very bad premonition.

When they were talking, the gong sounded loudly in Taniguchi, which was suddenly lit with torches, and the dense gong sound was especially harsh in the quiet night.

When the gong sounded, many houses in the valley were also lit up one after another, and many people rushed out of the wooden house in the firelight. Although these people were disheveled, they all brought knives, guns, hoes and sticks.

Seeing this scene, Bai Yunqi's expression suddenly changed: "They didn't discover us, but an enemy attacked!"

"It must have been Taniguchi who found the enemy, that's why the gong was sounded as a warning!" At this moment, the hunter Li Shan also said, "Someone said two days ago that once an enemy came to attack, the guards of Taniguchi would knock on the door. Ring the gong!"

At this time, Li Xuan took a deep breath: "It should be the officers and soldiers!"

At this time, in this place, it is impossible for Taniguchi's guards to make such a big response, except for the officers and soldiers who came in pursuit.

In the past two days, Li Xuan also roughly learned about the situation around this bandit den. This bandit den is hidden in the deep mountains, and there are no other bandit gangs around, so it is unlikely that other bandits will attack.

Even if there are other bandit gangs around, but now everyone knows that the officers and soldiers who pursued Li Xuan and others are searching in the mountains, and other bandit gangs are unlikely to take risks in this situation. eat black.

So the only possibility is: the officers and soldiers came over!

"Then what should we do now? Should we continue?" Li Shan looked at Li Xuan and Bai Yunqi at this time.

Bai Yun said oddly: "The situation is chaotic now, and it's a good opportunity for us to escape!"

Li Xuan also nodded and said, "Yes, let's keep going!"

Not to mention whether this is an opportunity or not, but now that the officers and soldiers are coming to the door, they must not continue to stay here. If the officers and soldiers break the cottage, then they will definitely be dead.

So no matter what, since you have already decided to escape, you can't stay.

Li Xuan continued: "Light the torches, hurry up!"

After lighting up the lanterns and torches, their advance speed greatly accelerated, but after a while, a fire dragon appeared in front of them. At this time, Li Xuan's face was pale, and there were officers and soldiers guarding the path.

Could it be that God wants to kill me!

At this time, there are a large number of people holding torches in this place. Who else can be except those officers and soldiers?

Not only did they attack Taniguchi, they even blocked the path of the trail.

Li Xuan tried to calm himself down. He knew that he had to deal with it calmly, otherwise he might not see the sun tomorrow.

Just when Li Xuan was in a panic and forced himself to calm down, outside the valley, the county magistrate wearing a seventh-grade official robe and touching a goatee beard smiled and looked at the county brave and yamen officers who were advancing with torches in front of him, and then he was confident. His appearance said: "Go down the order, and those who capture the fake Tang prince will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver!"
