Chapter 285 A plan within a plan
It's too late to say.
"Swish!" An arrow hit Ruan Qingqing and deflected the arrow that was attacking her.
At the same time, Ruan Qingqing leaned back to the ground.
"Giant!"
Yue Linlang stretched out her hand to grab it, but her fingertips just brushed the edge of Ruan Qingqing's sleeve.
"boom!"
Ruan Qingqing only had time to turn over in the air before she fell to the ground. Although the wall was only a dozen feet high, Ruan Qingqing was still hit hard. Before she could get up, arrows flew towards her one after another. Ruan Qingqing didn't care about the pain in her body and immediately rolled on the ground.
Just after dodging the arrow, she raised her right arm with all her strength, narrowed her eyes, and quickly flipped the switch of the crossbow on her arm. Two arrows were shot out in succession, one arrow deflected the arrow shot at her, and the other arrow was reflected in the direction of that arrow.
After doing all this, Ruan Qingqing lay on the ground and panted softly. Although she was very tired, she did not regret it. Because at this time, the only way to save herself was to kill the archer hiding in the dark.
"Giant!"
Yue Linlang walked towards Ruan Qingqing trembling.
"I'm fine!" Ruan Qingqing grinned at her.
"Master, I'll take you back!"
Yue Linlang also understood at this time that they had all fallen into the enemy's trap. What the enemy wanted was probably not the so-called food but the giant's life!
"it is good!"
Ruan Qingqing did not refuse.
When another group of people rushed in, Chi Jianyu, Zhuge Hong and others also emerged from the darkness. They all held a crossbow in their hands, and the cold light reflected by the arrows was extremely dazzling.
Chi Jianyu shouted even louder, "Who dares to hurt our master! You are such a ruthless person! The master gave you a safe place to live, food to eat, and water to drink, and this is how you repay her!"
"Don't think we don't know. Your so-called provision of food, shelter and shelter is just to train your own lackeys! You really think you are giving us a great gift!"
Someone sneered disdainfully.
"Without us providing you with food, clothing and shelter, how would you still have the energy to bark here now? You are a bunch of ungrateful people!" Chi Jianyu shouted again.
Ruan Qingqing, who was carried by Yue Linlang, looked thoughtfully in the direction of Chi Jianyu, then lowered her head and said nothing, allowing Yue Linlang to carry her away from the scene.
"Master, that was so thrilling! How do you feel now? Are you hurt anywhere?"
After Yue Linlang sent Ruan Qingqing back to her room, she examined her carefully first.
"It's nothing serious. I just felt numb from the pain when I fell, and my movements are a little slow." Ruan Qingqing said nonchalantly.
"How can you be okay? You have no internal energy and you fell from such a high wall..." Yue Linlang was so anxious that she almost cried, "No, I will send a message to Shi Lao immediately and ask him to come down the mountain to check on the master."
Ruan Qingqing didn't comment, she just asked her, "Linlang, do you also want us to attack Moliang?"
Yue Linlang stamped her feet on the ground a few times, "My great master! It's already this time, and you don't care about your own health but ask those messed up questions."
Ruan Qingqing laughed when she saw this, "It's good that you didn't get involved!"
"Participate in what?" Yue Linlang paused while pinching Ruan Qingqing's quilt. "Just now, you asked me that you also hope that we will attack Moliang. What do you mean?"
Yue Linlang's mouth suddenly opened, her eyes instantly widened, and then she shook her head, "Impossible! You are our master, the master who pulled us out of the abyss! No matter how crazy they are, they should not gamble with your safety! Master, don't let your imagination run wild, no one will do that!"
Ruan Qingqing closed her eyes, "Only if you hurt me, will everyone unite to attack Moliang and avenge me!"
Yue Linlang suddenly felt as if a ball of cotton was stuffed in her throat, making it impossible to move up or down.
"Giant... where did you find it?"
"It may be true that General Chi picked up those children from the street when he was not in his right mind at first. But later, General Chi was sober for a longer time, and he picked up more and more children.
If it were someone else, it would be fine. For a veteran who had fought on the battlefield for decades, it was impossible for him to be so bad at identifying people! But General Chi seemed to be indiscriminate, accepting all kinds of children, even those who looked like children!
I have seen the wolves trained by General Chi. They are so well trained that it is no exaggeration to say that one can defeat a hundred. This was when he was unconscious, training those wolves that could not speak human language.
So given his style, how could he allow the child he trained to run out of the yard and run around? "
"So you suspect that the child who appeared in the northwest courtyard during the day was not secretly telling us that something would happen in the City Lord's Mansion at night, but was trying to lure you out at night?"
Chi Jingxiao suddenly walked to the window and spoke up to take over the conversation.
Ruan Qingqing looked at him blankly through the half-open window, whose eyes were full of bloodshot, and nodded honestly.
Chi Jingxiao's body shook, "So my grandfather might have joined the assassination attempt on you this time?"
"Without the help of the people living in the City Lord's Mansion, it would be very difficult for people outside to sneak in! Without the help of the people living in the City Lord's Mansion, how could people outside accurately find our granary?
Relying on those kids?
An old general with strict discipline can make a group of wolves obey him, so how can he let a group of children take advantage of him? "
"Do you suspect my grandfather is the mastermind behind this?" Chi Jingxiao asked with his eyes closed.
"He is one of the masterminds. Mr. Ge should also be involved. I can't judge the others for now." Ruan Qingqing did not hide it.
"Why? Why do they go to so much trouble?" Yue Linlang was a little confused.
"In order to make me speak, Fa Moliang!"
Chi Jingxiao did not accept this reason. "There are many ways to make you speak up. Why do you have to use such a hurtful way?"
"For control! If there is a conflict outside, I will easily get into trouble; but if there is a conflict in the City Lord's Mansion, they think that as long as they plan carefully, everything will be under their control."
Ruan Qingqing said with a bleak look in her eyes.
"The master's guess is exactly right!" Zhuge Hong stood in front of the window without knowing when.
"Why?" Ruan Qingqing looked straight at him.
Zhuge Hong's eyes flickered. "We should not be satisfied with the tiny piece of land we have now. Moreover, with our current strength, if we do not take the initiative to attack, we will only attract more and more coveters to stare at us covetously."
"But you can't use the giant as bait! She is our giant!" Yue Linlang immediately accused Zhuge Hong.
"After all, Ju Zi is a woman, so she is a bit soft-hearted. If we want to survive in this world, we must constantly seize opportunities one step ahead of others. So we wanted to force her and attack Mo Liang first. By taking Mo Liang, we can expand our territory and increase our weight in the competition with other countries. But I didn't expect that although she is a woman, her intelligence and talent are no less than that of men, and she saw through our plan so quickly."
