Chapter 156: How do you look like a bandit?
In the gathering hall of Qingfeng Village, Jiang Chen sat on the first seat, looking at Yu Qingbei, Du Meng, Wang Zhongqing sitting on both sides, and Cheng Heilang, Yan Laoliu and other surrendered bandit leaders on the other side.
"I plan to do this before the news of Qingfeng Village being breached spreads."
"Let Yan Laoliu and Du Meng pretend to be bandits from Qingfeng Village and trick the gate of Xiongfeng Village open."
After hearing Jiang Chen's plan, Wang Zhongqing, known as a "wise general", said with a smile.
"Master Jiang, this plan is totally feasible."
"But we have to act quickly so that the thoughtful Zhu Hongmei can put her worries to rest!"
Seeing that his idea was recognized by everyone, Jiang Chen nodded.
Soon, Du Meng and a hundred soldiers from Huai'an Guard changed into bandit outfits.
After checking the attire of Du Meng and a hundred soldiers.
Yan Laoliu frowned and then grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground.
Then, before Du Meng could react, he smeared the mud on Du Meng's face.
"What are you doing?!"
After Du Meng realized what Yan Laoliu did , he was so angry that he wanted to kick him.
"You look pale, you don't look like a bandit at all."
Yan Laoliu hid to the side, avoiding Du Meng's leg, and rolled his eyes at him.
After hearing what Yan Laoliu said, Du Meng calmed down.
"Each of you, smear mud on your faces!"
"Hurry up, move faster."
Du Meng turned around and shouted loudly to the soldiers of Huai'an Guard.
So, under Du Meng's order.
One hundred soldiers followed the order , scooped up handfuls of dirt and smeared them on their faces without hesitation.
Suddenly, these soldiers looked no different from bandits.
After confirming that everything was correct, Yan Laoliu brought a few minions who had met Zhu Hongmei before.
He took Du Meng and a hundred soldiers disguised as bandits and marched quickly towards Xiongfeng Village.
As for Wang Zhongqing, he followed Jiang Chen's instructions and led 500 Huai'an guards to follow.
In this way, the two groups of people chased each other and headed towards Xiongfeng Village.
An hour later, the dusty Yan Laoliu and Du Meng and his men arrived at the gate of Xiongfeng Village.
“Who is it?!”
Looking at Yan Laoliu and others who suddenly appeared in front of the village.
The minions of Xiongfeng Village who were guarding the village tower hurriedly asked loudly.
"Brothers from Xiongfeng Village, we are from Qingfeng Village!"
"Then Jiang Chen led a large army to surround the mountain stronghold. Our headmaster Xie came here to ask me to ask for help from the village leader Zhu!"
Yan Laoliu raised his head without changing his expression and loudly shouted out the reasons he had already prepared.
"So you are brothers from Qingfeng Village. Wait a minute, I will report to the village leader!"
Upon hearing that the visitor was from Qingfeng Village, the thug at the village gate quickly turned around.
After running all the way down the village building, he strode towards the gathering hall of Xiongfeng Village.
After arriving at the Juyi Hall, the minion knelt in front of Zhu Hongmei.
"Report, Village , Qingfeng Village is under siege, and Master Xie has sent people to ask for help!"
Hearing this, Zhu Hongmei, who had originally had her eyes tightly closed, slowly opened her eyes.
Just like a sleeping female cheetah that was awakened.
As her eyes opened, the minion suddenly broke out in a cold sweat on his back.
"Who is coming?"
Zhu Hongmei opened her eyes, glanced coldly at the minion, and asked indifferently.
"Reporting to the village chief, it seems that the person who came is the sixth leader of Qingfeng Village."
The minion quickly lowered his head, swallowed, and answered Zhu Hongmei's question.
"Let them in. Xie Baoqing is really unreliable."
"Even after being surrounded, he still wanted me to save him. Does he really think I'm his subordinate?!"
Looking at the minions who were retreating as if escaping, Zhu Hongmei spat in displeasure.
Not long after, the returning minions opened the gate of the village and let Yan Laoliu and others in.
But just when Yan Laoliu and his men entered the village gate.
Du Meng, who was disguised as a bandit, suddenly drew the long knife from his waist and chopped down the thug who opened the village gate with one blow.
"What are you all standing there for? Get started!"
After chopping down the thug, Du Meng shouted loudly to the Huai'an guards who were disguised as bandits behind him.
"Yes, General!"
The Huai'an guards, who had long been unable to suppress their murderous intent, took action one after another. They strode forward and chopped down the bandits before they could react.
"Oh no, we've fallen into a trap!"
"Go report to the village chief!"
Some of the minions who reacted looked at the bodies of their companions on the ground, turned around and ran towards the gathering hall.
Soon, a hundred Huai'an guards disguised as bandits took control of the gate of Xiongfeng Village.
At this time, not far away.
The five hundred Huai'an guards led by Wang Zhongqing have also arrived at the gate of Xiongfeng Village.
"Quick, brothers, follow me and kill!"
Looking at the wide-open gate of the village, Wang Zhongqing realized that Du Meng and others had succeeded.
He waved his hand, raised the sword in his hand and rushed into the village gate.
In the Juyi Hall, Zhu Hongmei immediately understood what was happening when she heard the news that soldiers were charging in.
"Xie Baoqing, this piece of trash!"
"It seems that Qingfeng Village has already fallen. Come, take the treasures we have accumulated."
"Take the secret passage and evacuate!"
Zhu Hongmei, knowing that she was no match for Huai'an Wei, made a prompt decision.
Dozens of minions had to reluctantly follow the orders and take away the money and valuables of the mountain stronghold.
Followed Zhu Hongmei into the secret passage.
A moment later, the entire Xiongfeng Village was completely taken down.
But after searching for a while, Du Meng and Wang Zhongqing couldn't help but frown when they didn't find Zhu Hongmei.
"Damn it, I actually let this woman get away!"
"This woman runs pretty fast. If we let her run away this time, I'm afraid we'll be letting a tiger go back to the mountains..."
Unlike Du Meng's surprise, Wang Zhongqing said with a frown.
At this time, in an uninhabited valley behind Qingfeng Mountain.
The disheveled Zhu Hongmei crawled out of the tunnel with dozens of minions carrying bags.
"Captain, where are we going next?"
After resting for a while, a minion came forward and asked in confusion.
This question attracted everyone's attention.
They also really wanted to know what to do from now on.
"Go to Qingzhou. The old village chief's brother is the mountain king there."
"It would be a good place for us to go and seek refuge with him!"
After careful consideration, Zhu Hongmei took these followers and set off for Qingzhou.
After a while, Du Meng and Wang Zhongqing also discovered the secret passage.
But when they chased out of the secret passage, Zhu Hongmei had already run away with the remaining soldiers and no one knew where.
In this way, the remaining two small mountain strongholds in Qingfeng Mountain also saw the three large mountain strongholds being captured.
Under the leadership of the leader, they chose to surrender.
At this point, the bandits in Qingfeng Mountain were successfully wiped out by Jiang Chen's army.
The real Fourth Prince was also led by Jiang Chen on his journey back to Huai'an City.
