PDLP Chapter 158 Encounter
Chapter 158 Encounter
"Such an unruly man, yet this time leading troops into battle, he chose such a radical method..."
Su Luo murmured, then suddenly realized, "A thousand people are more than enough to take him away! He's not here to test me!"
“He came with a purpose. He never intended to actually kill me. He just wanted to confirm that I was the culprit!”
Upon thinking of this, Su Luo was immediately startled.
This was probably Xue Qianren's confidence; he had seen through all of Su Luo's thoughts, so he came to prove his guess!
All those so-called speculations are false; he had already prepared to leave long ago!
In other words, Xue Qianren never intended to risk his life... He used all one thousand people!
He just needed at least eight hundred people to confirm his suspicions!
The person who killed Xue Baichen was not a bandit at all, but Su Luo!
……
Realizing this, Su Luo paused for a moment, then muttered to himself, "What a madman..."
"Looks like I'll have to make my appearance soon!"
He turned and strode away in Han Yan's direction.
At this moment, Han Yan was already preparing to ambush in the area between Langya Mountain and Xiaoyun Village.
Han Yan crouched on a cliff by the roadside, his eyes gleaming.
He was confident because the other party would definitely think that the person who killed Xue Baichen was a bandit from Langya Mountain.
Therefore, we would have been on guard for the previous stretch of road, but here we would have relaxed.
Once they occupy the high ground and have composite crossbows at their disposal, they will definitely be able to wipe them out in one fell swoop.
At that moment, Su Luo stepped forward and said, "Keep moving forward!"
"They're lying in ambush at the foot of Langya Mountain!"
Upon hearing this, Han Yan was immediately stunned, then frowned, "Young Master, how can this be..."
He refuted Su Luo for the first time, saying, "Last time, the other party killed Xue Baichen in the name of Langya Mountain..."
"If we continue to lie in ambush at the foot of Langya Mountain, not only will we not have a significant advantage in terms of terrain, but the enemy will also be prepared in advance, making it extremely difficult to defeat them."
Su Luo said calmly, "Han Yan, your idea is very good, but... the other party is not an ordinary person."
He shared all his thoughts without reservation.
Upon hearing this, Han Yan broke out in a cold sweat and exclaimed in surprise, "How could this be... Did the other party really think that much?!"
Su Luo said, "I'm not sure either, but we can give it a try."
"Furthermore, you're wrong about one thing. No matter where the enemy sets up an ambush, it won't be difficult for us to fight them, because our first step is simply to wear them down with compound crossbows..."
“If we attack them directly at the foot of Langya Mountain, they will inevitably mistake us for ordinary mountain bandits.”
"Therefore, this is an attempt with no drawbacks!"
The only price to pay is that troops need to be sent to Langya Mountain to be on high alert.
This might exhaust your subordinates' physical strength!
However, compared to the consequences... this is a manageable loss!
Han Yan nodded, thinking of this: "I didn't consider that point, young master. I think you're right!"
"We can give it a try!"
Having agreed, Han Yan immediately sent men to set up an ambush at Langya Mountain!
Although the terrain there isn't very high, it's enough to hide Han Yan's two hundred-plus men!
Everyone perked up and looked toward the official road not far away!
The people waiting for Xue Qianren to arrive!
They were a little nervous because if the other side started to set up defenses here, it would be a fierce battle between two hundred and one thousand!
We can only hope to escape... Once we reach the Wolf Fang Mountain area, we'll continue the attack!
Standing behind Han Yan, Su Luo observed Han Yan's expression and said, "Don't worry so much. Since I brought this up, I'll bear the consequences!"
Han Yan glanced at Su Luo and gave a wry smile: "Young Master, I..."
“I know that you now hope that my idea is right, because it corrects your mistake.”
Su Luo glanced at him and immediately understood Han Yan's thoughts, saying, "But the fact that you hope my thoughts are wrong means you're not that bad..."
"However, I want to tell you that this Xue Qianren is definitely not simple!"
"Whatever happened, don't blame yourself!"
"This Xue Qianren... is much more troublesome than Xue Baifeng. You should know Xue Baifeng, right?"
Upon hearing this, Han Yan nodded and said, "Of course I've heard of him. He's the top general under Marquis Sinan..."
Su Luo said, "That's right, so think about it, this Xue Qianren is even more troublesome than Xue Baifeng, which shows that his abilities are definitely not bad..."
"Actually, your abilities are not bad, but you still lack a lot of experience."
"Don't worry, I still won't get involved in the specific operations this time... My suggestion is just because I'm worried that Xue Qianren might expose our identities..."
After hearing Su Luo's explanation, Han Yan's expression clearly improved.
He glanced at Su Luo gratefully, and could sense that Su Luo truly valued him.
Otherwise, there's no need for so much explanation!
At this moment, Xue Qianren, leading a thousand men, slowly walked into everyone's sight!
Han Yan's eyes suddenly turned cold and sharp: "Ready!"
All Yanhuang troops are ready to go!
Han Yan didn't notice that Su Luo gave him a deep look before turning and leaving!
……
At this moment, Xue Qianren was in the very center of a thousand people, still looking sickly.
But his wary gaze swept across the surroundings.
He told his men not to worry about the bandits of Langya Mountain, but he himself was very concerned...
The reason is simple: just as Su Luo guessed, Xue Qianren was verifying his own idea!
He believed that the person who killed Xue Baichen was definitely not the bandits from Langya Mountain!
The culprit is Su Luo!
Therefore, he confidently instructed his men to set up defenses only after leaving the Langya Mountain area!
However, since the truth is still unclear, he remained somewhat wary...
If the bandits from Langya Mountain really do appear, regardless of whether they are as powerless as he claims!
Therefore, Xue Qianren should prepare to have someone take him away...
All around was deathly still, with only the mountain wind rustling through the grass and trees.
A smile crept onto Xue Qianren's lips. "Just as I suspected..."
The thought had barely formed when a whooshing sound suddenly rang in his ears!
Whoosh!
Xue Qianren's pupils contracted sharply, and he looked in the direction of the sound!
Then, a black lightning bolt appeared, charging ahead and instantly obliterating the figure in front of him, catching him completely off guard...
It pierced his heart!
He collapsed to the ground with a thud!
