Dingbei Hou's doctor brother

Chapter 171 Ambush

County Magistrate Tian closed the door and walked into the yard, and a yamen runner came over.

"County Magistrate Tian, ​​there is an official document for Lord Cao's signature."

Tian County Magistrate said calmly, "My Lord has just finished his meal and is resting. Please give it to me."

Su Chengfeng sat beside the bed, his eyes fixed on Yang Zhounan's pale face.

He used to think this person was annoying, but at this moment, when he stared at this familiar face again, he didn't expect that he would feel a little unhappy in his heart.

The once hot-tempered Lieutenant General Yang now lay quietly on the bed, so quiet that it made people anxious.

"That's enough. We haven't completed the mission yet. Wake up quickly." Su Chengfeng said slowly.

"If you lie down again, aren't you afraid that I'll steal your credit? With my unparalleled martial arts skills, it won't be difficult for me, Master Su, to take your seat. Do you hear me?"

"At worst, I'll...try not to be sour on you in the future and won't contradict you. You have the final say."

A drizzle began to fall outside the house again. Su Chengfeng listened quietly for a moment, then touched Yang Zhounan's hand and pulled the quilt over him to cover him with another layer.

Before anyone moved away, Yang Zhounan slowly opened his eyes and spoke softly.

"Do you keep your word?"

Su Chengfeng opened his eyes slightly, revealing a look of joy, "You finally woke up?"

Yang Zhounan blinked tiredly, "You haven't answered my question yet."

"What?" Su Chengfeng was so delighted that he didn't notice the previous question. He reacted in an instant and said, "Master Su's words are so powerful that even eight horses can't catch up."

Yang Zhounan forced a smile on his face and said tiredly, "I don't believe it unless you prove it to me."

"Why wouldn't you believe this?" Su Chengfeng said, "People in the Jianghu value integrity and loyalty. How do you want to prove it?"

Yang Zhounan didn't reply immediately. He looked at him for a while before saying with a smile, "Kiss me now and I'll believe it."

"Hey you..." Su Chengfeng raised his eyes and patted him, "You're lying here, and you still have the energy to talk about this."

Yang Zhounan chuckled, "I was just teasing you, and you're getting anxious."

"You lie down. I'll go tell the Marquis and bring you some porridge."

After Su Chengfeng finished speaking, he walked out. When he passed the intersection of the main courtyard, he suddenly heard the crisp sound of a bowl being smashed.

He heard the sound and walked into the yard. The doors on three sides were closed and there was no one there. He took a casual look and turned to leave.

When people walked out of the yard, they suddenly heard the sound of bowls breaking again. This time the sound was like cups, plates and bowls being overturned on the ground, and the noise was too loud.

Su Chengfeng decisively returned and pushed open the door to the main hall. The floor was littered with broken dishes, and there was a figure crawling in the corner of the table.

He walked over a few steps and saw Cao Yuejin foaming at the mouth and twitching in a confused state.

"Master Cao, Master Cao."

Su Chengfeng supported him and shouted twice, then hurried outside to call someone for a doctor. When he left the yard, he met Xiao Yan coming back.

"Why are you so panicked?"

Su Chengfeng said, "Master Cao seems to have been poisoned. I'll go find a doctor."

When Xiao Yan entered the room, Cao Yuejin was in so much pain that he could hardly move. He suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly took out a medicine bottle from his arms, took out two pills and fed them to Cao Yuejin.

After a cup of tea, when Su Chengfeng brought the doctor back, Cao Yuejin had slowly regained consciousness and was lying listlessly on the couch.

Su Chengfeng was surprised and asked, "What's wrong with him?"

"He's fine now. Ziqing gave him the antidote before he left." Xiao Yan said, and then instructed him, "Have someone watch over him. I'll go to the city to check."

"No need to go." Su Chengfeng hurriedly called him, "Lieutenant General Yang has woken up. I was in a hurry and didn't have time to tell him."

Three days later, in Changyunshan Village, Xie Caizhen was wiping a pistol with a handkerchief in the house.

Hearing Peng Bing walk in cursing, he turned and asked, "What's wrong with your face?"

The scratch on Peng Bing's face was still bleeding. He reached out to touch the wound and hissed in pain.

"That bitch scratched me."

Xie Caizhen rolled her eyes at him and said, "What's the point of messing with a middle-aged woman? If she accidentally kills someone, we'll be left with nothing."

Peng Bing leaned back in his chair in a daze and spoke angrily.

"Damn it, those ruffians won't leave. They've made it impossible for me to have sex with my wife. I haven't had sex in over ten days."

Xie Caizhen looked disappointed, "You'll die if you don't have women. That's all you can do."

"I couldn't help it." Peng Bing sighed regretfully.

"Speaking of this, I'm reminded of that girl from two years ago. She was not only beautiful, but also had a great figure. I really wanted to spend my life with her. I even put on my wedding dress and prepared to get married. But I didn't expect her to jump off a cliff and commit suicide. The meat was right in front of my mouth, but I couldn't even eat it. Sigh."

Xie Caizhen said, "After this storm is over, you can have whatever you want. Don't dwell on that dead man all the time."

As he was speaking, Ge Hongzhi hurried in from outside with a smile on his face.

"You found a baby girl? You look so happy."

"I can't stop talking about women. I'm not like you." Ge Hongzhi said, looking at Jie Caizhen. "Brother, I heard that those officers and soldiers were possessed by evil spirits, and some of them are missing."

"What do you mean by possessed?" Xie Caizhen asked.

Ge Hongzhi laughed and said, "Just three days ago, they actually went to the cemetery, and some people disappeared there."

"Is this true?" Peng Bing suddenly stood up and said with a smile, "These ignorant idiots dared to go there. They are simply courting death. They want to save us from trouble."

Ge Hongzhi chuckled and said, "I also received news that they will go up the mountain from the southern entrance tomorrow."

Xie Caizhen threw the handkerchief he used to clean his gun on the table and pondered.

"The southern entrance is quite steep. Instead of taking the main road, they chose the most inconspicuous and difficult trail. This is unconventional. Are they trying to catch us off guard?"

Peng Bing snorted coldly, "Then tomorrow we can just wipe them out."

At night, a guard walked into the cell with a bag of silver and said to Xiao Yan.

"My Lord, they really did put the silver in the cave at the foot of the mountain."

Xiao Yan glanced at the silver and turned to look at the corner. County Magistrate Tian stood up hurriedly in his prison uniform.

"Sir, you see I didn't lie. Can you give me a lighter punishment? I was confused for a moment and I was bewitched. I beg for mercy."

Xiao Yan said, "Ask your Lord Cao."

The foot of Changyun Mountain was lit with bustling lights, and Xiao Yan led hundreds of elite soldiers up the mountain from the west entrance.

The west entrance is also a trail, but the terrain is not as steep and the road surface is more slippery.

Yang Zhounan seldom walked on mountain roads in Beijing. He fell twice after climbing the mountain for only half an hour. Su Chengfeng pushed his back up.

"You really are a young master."

Yang Zhounan stepped into the mud pit, grabbed a branch lying across the road, and said, "Then you can be my servant, and you can even warm my bed at night."

When Su Chengfeng heard this, he slapped him on the butt. Yang Zhounan laughed softly, "The stingy guy is getting impatient again."

Xiao Yan was walking in front and looked back at them, "Hurry up and catch up, we're already halfway up the mountain."

In the dim light, white mist was still floating in the forest, and the soldiers behind were reaching the mountainside one after another.

"Bang bang bang-"

Suddenly, gunshots rang out, and bullets flew among the branches and leaves. Everyone screamed and squatted down suddenly.

"Fuck! I've been fooled by this County Magistrate Tian again." Yang Zhounan hid under the leaves, listening to the gunshots, and said angrily: "I'm going to kill him as soon as I get back."

Xiao Yan asked everyone to extinguish their torches, and the soldiers hunched over and climbed up the slope that was not a road. For a while, the only sound was the reverberation of gunfire, echoing in the mountains and even being heard in the city.

In the village, Peng Bing and his companions were still drinking and eating meat when suddenly a small bandit came running over to report.

"Boss, boss, someone is coming up from the west mountain."

Upon hearing this, Xie Caizhen put down his wine glass and stood up, followed by Peng Bing and Ge Hongzhi.

Peng Bing said, "Brother, you're truly foresighted. They said they'd move tomorrow, and they actually arrived tonight. I just didn't expect them to choose the smaller route."

Xie Caizhen ignored him and asked the little bandit directly, "How many people are here?"

The little bandit said, "Judging from the sound of gunfire, there should be no less than 200 of them."

"Two hundred?" Xie Caizhen lowered his eyes in thought. "Then there are at least twice as many without firearms. Go, let all the firepower guarding the east side over there."
