Chapter 120 Crossing Langya Mountain
The intelligence was correct; a total of five hundred people arrived!
However, only four hundred men were escorting the warhorses; the remaining hundred-odd men... actually headed directly towards Xiaoyun Village!
"You've come to see me?!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Su Luo immediately gave the order: "Those who are fast, follow me across the mountain!"
"Going via the mountain path behind Xiaoyun Village will save time!"
"Liu Daoyang, you and Hong Feng stay here for now, in case of any accidents, and make sure the warhorses and surrendered soldiers are settled!"
Liu Daoyang immediately said, "Young master, we would like to go to Xiaoyun Village with you..."
Hong Feng nodded.
They could all see the anxiety on Su Luo's face and wanted to lend him a hand.
However, Su Luo remained remarkably calm and said, "No need!"
"Too many people will only attract more attention, and might even cause unnecessary trouble..."
"Han Yan, you've done a great service this time. I'll give you another chance to do so. Take fifty men and head to Xiaoyun Village as fast as you can!"
"If you can get here before I do... then your position will definitely not be lower than Liu Daoyang's or Hong Feng's!"
Su Luo indeed thought Han Yan was a talented person.
It is quite remarkable that forty-five people could attract hundreds of elite soldiers from Flying Cloud City to this place.
Although the main reason for this was that the elite soldiers of Feiyun City didn't take the Yanhuang Army seriously at all.
After all, they were all wearing animal skin clothes, and looked just like ordinary mountain bandits.
In addition, this area is originally the territory of Langya Mountain, so the group of elite soldiers from Feiyun City never expected that four hundred people could still be defeated!
They never expected there would be an ambush here, specifically targeting them!
Regardless... Han Yan's performance was so perfect that it was enough for Su Luo to value him!
But he didn't have much time for encouragement right now. After giving his orders, he immediately led his men into the mountains!
He silently calculated in his mind that it would take at least thirty minutes... or the time it takes for two incense sticks to burn, for those more than one hundred elite soldiers from Flying Cloud City to reach Little Cloud Village!
It would take him twenty minutes to lead his men across Langya Mountain, to Dayun Mountain, and then to the back of Xiaoyun Village!
But this is assuming we don't encounter any wild animals!
If we encounter wild animals, even a slight delay could lead to problems!
Su Luo took a deep breath and muttered to himself, "No, there will absolutely be no problem!"
"Ah Yue, Mingyu and the others... are all waiting for me!"
"How could I let anything happen to them? Wild beasts dare to block my way? Then I'll slaughter them all!"
With that thought in mind, Su Luo barely paused, quickly arranged for people to follow, and then... leaped into the mountains!
This time, he brought not only a compound crossbow, but also a Tang sword...
Moreover, they even brought along something that looked like a tea cake from the workshop!
The killing intent in Su Luo's eyes was almost tangible, spreading outwards!
"What a brilliant plan!"
"Even escorting warhorses requires having me killed? Who could it be? The Marquis of Sinan's mansion?"
"Is it that wicked first wife, or that second wife I've never even met... or perhaps, it's Marquis Sinan himself?!"
Su Luo's thoughts raced, but then he felt something was wrong. If they had taken the initiative, Su Yunxi and Su Xuan would definitely have informed him!
Unless, they have already broken free from their own control!
But if that's the case, Xiaoyun Village wouldn't be so peaceful. Who exactly is this person?!
Su Luo's eyes flashed with murderous intent!
At this moment, the twenty privates following behind, seeing that Su Luo's speed far surpassed their own, all showed expressions of admiration!
It should be noted that to become a private first class, one must be among the top in the Yanhuang Army in terms of both combat strength and speed!
They run like tigers and leopards, and that's no exaggeration!
But compared to Su Luo... there's no comparison at all!
This shocked the Yanhuang Army privates even more. It turned out that the young master... wasn't just talking; he was truly strong!
At the same time, his expression became even more serious!
Su Luo's reaction shows that something truly serious has happened this time!
"Young master, there's a pack of wolves ahead... Be careful!"
Not long after entering the forest, the sound of wolves howling could be heard!
A private first class who was originally a hunter immediately noticed and shouted out!
Su Luo paused slightly, looked up, and frowned.
The private, panting, immediately approached and said, "Sir, there's a high probability of a pack of wolves gathering ahead! It's best to take a detour!"
"This area belongs to Langya Mountain. Langya Mountain... as its name suggests, has been home to many vicious wolves since ancient times!"
"Once wolves are discovered, it's not just one pack, but very likely multiple packs!"
"That's over a hundred wolves!"
Upon hearing this, Su Luo frowned even more deeply, and her heart skipped a beat.
As expected, an accident occurred!
He asked, "If we take the detour, how much longer will it take?"
The private estimated, "About half an incense stick's time..."
Half an incense stick's time, which is about seven or eight minutes!
That means it takes about 27 or 28 minutes to walk to Xiaoyun Village!
So, if those hundred-odd elite soldiers from Flying Cloud City move a little faster than planned... perhaps, an accident will happen!
Perhaps by the time Su Luo arrives, it will be a scene of...utter devastation!
Thinking of this, Su Luo shook his head and said in a deep voice, "No detours!"
He looked at the twenty men behind him, his voice slightly deep, "You all lie in ambush, I'm going to attack! You use your crossbows to shoot the wolves!"
"If it's just a pack of wolves, twenty or so, we'll kill them all!"
“If it’s a pack of wolves or hundreds of wolves, then I have another way…”
Upon hearing this, the twenty privates all widened their eyes in unison!
They knew very well that the reason Su Luo took the lead was because he felt that this matter... was Su Luo's responsibility!
Therefore, Su Luo did all the adventurous things by himself!
"No, young master..."
The private, who was originally a hunter, immediately said, "What are you saying, sir?! This time, I'll charge alongside you!"
All the privates stepped forward and said, "Young master, let's charge together!"
Su Luo was slightly taken aback, but then realized what was happening, and a warm feeling washed over her.
The hunter, a private first class, said, "Young master, you are the backbone of all of us. What would we do if something happened to you?!"
"We can all die, but the young master must not be harmed in the slightest!"
A burly private said, "That's right, sir... how could I watch you charge alone? If it weren't for you, I would have starved to death long ago!"
"You gave me a second life, no... If we're going to charge, let's charge together!"
Su Luo laughed and said, "You bunch of idiots... Stop talking nonsense. Ten of you will lie in ambush, and ten of you will charge with me!"
His eyes were sharp as he said in a deep voice, "Slay the wolf pack! Slay those damned elite soldiers of Flying Cloud City!"
