As for the archers on the mountain, they originally wanted to come down, but when they saw Tiger and the others, they immediately retreated.
Tiger and the others also arrived very quickly. Lin Yitian, who was originally nervous, saw them charging at Master Liu and the others. Although he was puzzled, he heaved a sigh of relief.
However, the martial arts skills of the people that Master Liu brought with him were really not bad.
After suppressing Lin Yitian and the others, Master Liu quickly raised his knife and slashed at Gu Chengrui.
Gu Chengrui shot his crossbow toward him. While Master Liu dodged the arrow, Gu Chengrui quickly sprinkled a handful of knockout powder on him.
Just as he was about to attack again, someone suddenly shouted, âMaster, letâs go!â
Master Liu turned his head and realized that his men had basically been captured.
Gu Chengruiâs men and the bandits had already surrounded him.
He knew that it would be difficult for him to get out, so he used all his strength and quickly rushed toward Gu Chengrui to slash at him.
However, before he could get close, he staggered and fell to the ground.
âFinally.â Gu Chengrui heaved a sigh of relief. âTie him up.â
âYes.â Yitian Lin nodded and quickly tied Master Liu up.
At this moment, Tiger walked over with a big laugh. He looked at Gu Chengrui and asked, âYou must be Marquis An Le, right?â
âYes, I am. You areâ¦?â Gu Chengrui played dumb.
At the same time, he sized him up. His image was really comparable to Zhang Feiâs.
âIâm the chief of the Lion Camel Camp on the mountain. I was given the nickname Tiger. We heard that someone wanted to harm you, so we came to save you.â
âThank you so much. Otherwise, our group would have been in danger.â
âYou flatter me. Weâve heard a lot about your deeds, so weâre willing to help you.â
âYeah, we all volunteered. If it werenât for the sweet potato you found, it would have been difficult for many of our brothers on the mountain to have enough to eat.â A young man dressed like a scholar added.
âIndeed, we have planted quite a number of sweet potatoes on the mountain. I wonder if my lord is interested in going up and taking a look?â Tiger suggested.
âNo, the Marquis still has a lot of things to do. We have to hurry to Qianzhou Prefecture.â Lin Yitian quickly replied.
Lion Came Camp was the biggest bandit den. If they had any ulterior motives, Gu Chengrui and his group would be in danger.
âItâs fine. It just so happens that our men are more or less injured. Letâs stay on the mountain for a night and set off tomorrow.â Gu Chengrui patted Lin Yititanâs shoulder and said.
He was still thinking of taking the opportunity to test Tigerâs and the othersâ intentions to see if there was a possibility of recruiting them. How could he miss this rare opportunity?
âThank you for your trust, Marquis. Letâs go up the mountain now.â
Tiger then looked at the scholar and said, âNinth Brother, remove the beast traps on the road and tie up the remnants of King Hui up the mountain.â.
âThere might be poison in their mouths. Donât let them commit suicide.â Gu Chengrui reminded.
âDid you hear that? Remember to gag them.â After Tiger finished speaking, he brought Gu Chengrui up the mountain.
Seeing this, Lin Yitian and the others could only follow.
As for the scholar, he quickly got someone to deal with the poison sacs in Master Liuâs and the othersâ mouths. However, he was still a step too late. Other than Master Liu, only three people with slow reactions were left.
After they went up the mountain, Tiger brought Gu Chengrui to look at the sweet potatoes they planted along the way.
After returning to the main stronghold, Tiger arranged for them to be alone in a courtyard. âMy Lord, you and your brothers should clean up your wounds and rest for a while.
âLetâs meet again after Iâve dealt with those remaining ambushers.â
âWait, Master Liu is one of the trusted aides of King Hui, and King Prince has left quite a number of his people in the country, so itâs better to interrogate him before dealing with him.â
âOh, you know him?â
