Chapter 363: This villain is so cunning!
Another group lay in ambush on both sides of the road, waiting for the opportune moment to strike. The last group served as a reserve force, ready to provide support wherever needed. Everyone must remember, we are fighting for justice, for the peace of our homeland!
Fang Xiaoxiao continued, "To make Monk Hua even more convinced of the authenticity of this news, we can also create some other disturbances in the city."
For example, they might deliberately have a few brothers arguing at the city gate, saying they needed to hurry to the outskirts to rob treasure. Or they might arrange for someone to secretly pass on a message near the monk's residence, making him believe it was a rare opportunity to make a fortune that he couldn't miss.
The city's garrison commander nodded: "Miss Fang's considerations are very thorough, but the details still need to be carefully arranged, and there can be no mistakes."
Fang Xiaoxiao responded.
"Rest assured, General, I will personally oversee every step of the preparations. We also need to prepare an escape route so that we can quickly evacuate and preserve our strength should the plan change. No matter how bad the situation gets, we cannot afford to be wiped out."
Everyone nodded in agreement, showing their approval of Fang Xiaoxiao's plan.
Fang Xiaoxiao added.
"Before taking action, everyone must keep a low profile and not let the Flower Monk notice anything unusual about us."
Furthermore, all the brothers involved in the operation must be familiar with their tasks and positions so that they can remain calm and composed in the face of danger.
Everyone must come back alive; not a single one can be missing!
Pei Yan stood up.
"Xiao Xiao, don't worry, everyone knows the importance of this battle and will definitely do their best."
Looking at the determined eyes of everyone, Fang Xiaoxiao felt a surge of warmth in her heart: "Alright, let's start preparing immediately. Success or failure hinges on this!"
In the following time, everyone prepared in a tense but orderly manner according to Fang Xiaoxiao's plan.
The brothers tasked with infiltrating the city and spreading the news were carefully disguised and blended into the crowd. They drank in the tavern, seemingly drunk, and loudly discussed the treasure in the suburbs; while haggling with vendors in the market, they inadvertently revealed this "earth-shattering secret".
In the suburbs, Fang Xiaoxiao personally led the group to set up traps.
They carefully buried the grenades in the designated locations, cleverly concealing them with leaves and weeds.
The brother in charge of observation climbed to the top of a tall tree and found the best observation point.
Soldiers lying in ambush on both sides of the road hid in the dense grass, holding their breath and waiting for the enemy to arrive.
Everything was ready; all that was left was for the monk to take the bait.
In the city, the Flower Monk sat in his luxurious yet menacing hall, listening to his subordinates report news from various places.
"Boss, I heard there's a large amount of treasure in the suburbs that's unguarded."
A henchman rushed in to report.
The Flower Monk frowned: "Is the news true?"
The henchman quickly said, "Many people are talking about it, and it doesn't sound fake. Some people have even seen some traces."
A glint of greed flashed in the Flower Monk's eyes as he thought to himself, "Hmph, if this is true, I'll be rolling in money." But he still had some reservations: "Could it be a trap?"
Another leader said, "Boss, how about we send some brothers to scout ahead?"
The Flower Monk pondered for a moment, then gritted his teeth: "No way, what if someone else beats us to it? I'll be at a huge loss. Who cares if it's a trap or not? There are so many of us, are we afraid?"
In the end, the Flower Monk decided to personally lead a group to the outskirts of the city to investigate.
Groups of bandits marched in a grand procession toward the outskirts of the city.
Fang Xiaoxiao and the others watched as the bandits' group gradually approached from a distance, feeling both nervous and excited.
Fang Xiaoxiao gripped the sword tightly in her hand, her palms sweating, and silently prayed: God bless us, this plan must succeed.
When the monk's team entered the grenade ambush, the brothers on the high ground decisively lit the fuse.
With a deafening roar, the grenade exploded, sending flames soaring into the sky and filling the air with smoke.
The bandits were blown up, crying and screaming, and the group was thrown into chaos.
The monk was nearly thrown off his horse by the shock. He roared, "Don't panic, everyone! Hold on tight!"
"Kill!" Fang Xiaoxiao gave the order, and the soldiers who had been lying in ambush on both sides rushed out like tigers descending a mountain, engaging in a fierce battle with the bandits.
Fang Xiaoxiao took the lead, wielding a long sword and bravely fighting the enemy.
Her swordsmanship was fierce, each move aimed directly at the enemy's vitals, and she had only one thought in her mind: to completely wipe out these bandits and restore peace to the people.
Pei Yan was not to be outdone. Wielding his broadsword, he charged left and right through the enemy ranks, shouting as he slashed, "Brothers, charge!"
The burly man and the city's garrison commander led their soldiers in a fierce battle against the bandits.
The battlefield was filled with the sound of killing and blood splattered everywhere.
The Flower Monk tried to organize a resistance, but his men were already in disarray.
Fang Xiaoxiao seized the opportunity and thrust her sword at one of the bandits, her heart filled with rage: "You villains, today is your end!"
Grenades kept exploding, causing heavy casualties among the bandits.
After a fierce battle, the bandits gradually lost their footing and began to flee in defeat.
Fang Xiaoxiao watched the enemy's retreating figures and shouted, "Chase them! We can't let them get away!"
Fang Xiaoxiao watched the fleeing monk's retreating figure, her eyes burning with fury, and shouted angrily, "Monk, don't even think about escaping!"
Before she finished speaking, she moved like lightning, drawing her sword and chasing after the Flower Monk, with Pei Yan following closely behind without hesitation.
Dust billowed and horses hooves thundered all the way.
Like a stray dog, the monk whipped his horse wildly, causing it to break free and gallop away in pain.
Fang Xiaoxiao and Pei Yan's mounts also chased after them with all their might, refusing to let up in the slightest.
The first time, he was about to catch up with the Flower Monk.
Fang Xiaoxiao's eyes sharpened, and the sword in her hand was already ready to thrust out.
However, the flower monk suddenly turned into a narrow path.
The path is lined with trees on both sides, their branches intertwined.
Fang Xiaoxiao and Pei Yan had to slow down to avoid being scratched by tree branches.
In that brief moment of delay, the Flower Monk seized the opportunity to widen the distance again.
Fang Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth in anger: "This villain is so cunning!"
They continued their relentless pursuit, following the trail left by the Flower Monk.
The mountain road was rugged, and the further we went, the more desolate it became.
The second time, in a valley, Fang Xiaoxiao and Pei Yan finally saw the Flower Monk again. The Flower Monk was now in a sorry state, his wounds bleeding profusely from the intense running.
Fang Xiaoxiao seized the opportunity, leaped out, and pointed her sword at the back of the Flower Monk.
Sensing the approaching danger, the monk yanked the reins sharply, causing his horse to leap high into the air and charge towards the steep slope beside him. The slope was steep and treacherous, and Fang Xiaoxiao and Pei Yan's horses dared not follow rashly.
The Flower Monk simply tumbled and crawled away, disappearing from their sight.
