Chapter 13: The Praying Mantis, the Cicada, and the Hawk

lang at all.And somehow, in that instant, Gao Jinhua suddenly realized her man was quite handsome."My lady, why are you standing there Let's go, let's go home."Wu Chao held Gao Jinlian's hand and walk...As soon as the words left his mouth, Wu Chao immediately hurled the torch in his hand. With a whoosh!, the flames shot up into the sky, mixed with oil!

King Tiger, how could he have not expected that Wu Chao had already set an ambush At the crucial moment, he kicked several of his burning subordinates out one after another. Then, leading a few people, he quickly escaped towards the back door and dashed out!

"Chase them, don't let them get away!"

Bai Sheng led his men in hot pursuit, but Wu Chao immediately stepped forward to block their way.

Only to see Wu Chao's mouth curl slightly, a cold snort: "Wang Ying can't escape, let's save people first!"

"Save people"

Bai Sheng was taken aback.

Well-prepared Wu Chao had already retrieved a bucket of sand from the side and poured it over the person rolling on the ground, engulfed in flames.

Watching Wu Chao pour a bucket of sand, the fire on the bandit's body was instantly extinguished. Bai Sheng and his group finally understood, it turned out their big brother had been prepared!

"What are you waiting for, hurry up and save him!"

In a matter of moments, the crowd extinguished the fire. The bandits who had been abandoned by Wang Ying all knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly to Wu Chao in gratitude.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for sparing my life!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for saving my life!"

Bai Sheng kicked the man beside him and scolded, "My elder brother is a first-rate hero, not like you bunch of bandits who rob houses. Where's your king"

"Yes, yes, yes! Wu family eldest son is a hero and a good man! The few of us will definitely reform ourselves and never again be bandits who rob people!"

Wuchou pulled one of them up and said, "How many roads are there from Qingfeng Mountain to our Yanggu County"

"Huidalang, we rode the wind to Yanggu County. There are two paths: one is the official road, and the other goes through the mountains."

Wu Chao frowned and asked, "How do we get through the mountain pass Tell me now!"

“The mountain path takes two more hours, passing through Shilippo, Duanchonggu, and Jingyanggang…”

Hearing a name that felt very familiar, Wu Chao hurriedly stopped him and said, “You just said Jingyanggang, the Jingyanggang where tigers are known to appear”

"Yes, there is a large monster on Jingyanggang, which has injured countless people. Therefore, very few people go that way on weekdays. However, Wang Ying himself drives a carriage, he is very familiar with that road, after we robbed other people's property, we all went back to Qingfeng Mountain through that road."

Okay! Then let's ambush at Jinyang Ridge!

Wu Chao pounded his thigh heavily, calculating the time. His good brother Wu Suo should be about to go to Jingyanggang to fight a tiger!

As for Wang Ying, after escaping the pursuit with a few others, he didn't leave Yanggu County right away. Instead, he slipped into the shadows and quietly circled around to the back door of Xijin's house.

At this moment, Wang Ying's face was filled with unwillingness. He gritted his teeth and said, "This Xi Menhe nearly caused me to be buried in the sea of fire. Before leaving, I couldn't even take anything with me. This breath, I can't swallow!"

Wang Ying's low moral character was on full display at this moment.

Xi Men He clearly was the employer, Wang Ying himself was incompetent. Not only did he fail to kill Wu Chao, but he almost got himself killed instead. Logically speaking, if he wanted revenge, he should target Wu Chao, but Wang Ying didn't have the guts!

He and Wu Chao had only exchanged a glance, and they were already terrified. Wu Chao was a ruthless figure! How could Wang Ying, the short-legged tiger, dare to pick on Wu Chao again!

Then, he brandished his cleaver towards Ximen Hu!

At this moment, Hsi Men Ch'ing was indulging in revelry at a brothel, completely unaware that thieves had broken into his home!

"Bang!"

Wang Ying kicked open the back door with a heavy foot, and suddenly burst in with a menacing air!

Xi Menhe acted arrogantly in Yanggu County. The guards he kept at home were all sycophants who only knew how to flatter him and drink and eat! They were experts at bullying the villagers and oppressing the common people on a daily basis, but once they encountered bandits like Wang Ying, they were knocked to the ground in just a few moves.

Wang Ying held a knife to the butler's throat, her breath reeking of foulness: "Where is Ximen He's wing Take me there!"

The housekeeper, terrified, pleaded for his life as a puddle of foul-smelling urine spread on the floor. He, along with Wang Ying and others, burst into Ximenhe's inner courtyard. Wu Yuemei, who was in the midst of dressing, jumped in fright: “Who are you What do you want”

Wu Yuemei trembled all over, her tender and white soft flesh made Wang Ying's fingers twitch with desire, drooling uncontrollably!

"What a handsome young lady, what beautiful tender flesh! Hahaha! I didn't expect heaven to treat me so well. This wife of Ximen Hu is also a fragrant and tender beauty!"

"Don't come any closer, don't come any closer!" Wu Yuemei's face turned pale as she kept backing away.

At the sight of Wu Yuemei, Wang Ying's blood seemed to rush to his groin. He was so flustered that he took off his clothes and lunged at her, luckily one of his underlings stopped him.

"Second in command, we're still in the county town. With so much commotion now, the soldiers and officials will be back soon."

"If the Second-in-Command likes this woman, we'll just tie her up in a sack and take her to the mountain! On our turf, the Second-in-Command can do whatever he wants with her."

“That makes sense!” Wang Yingyue nodded repeatedly, found a particularly large sack, and stuffed Wu Yuemei’s soft and fragrant body right into it! She threw Wu Yuemei and the gold, silver, and jewels stolen from Ximen He's mansion onto a single-wheeled cart, and under the cover of night, they fled Yanggu County City in a hurry.

Jǐngyánggāng used to have many merchants coming and going, but recently because of the appearance of tigers, people are avoiding it.

The hour of the tiger, which is dawn.

This is the time when merchant caravans usually set off, but now Jingyang Pass is deserted.

Because now is the time when tigers are active!

At this time, Wu Chao and Bai Sheng each hid in the bushes on either side of the road.

Bai Sheng's body kept trembling, and he constantly asked, "Big brother! Are we going to be tricked by that bandit It's almost dawn, where is Wang Ying"

"Big brother! The tiger is almost out, let's go quickly. I heard the tigers in this Jingyanggang are especially ferocious, and there are even two of them!"

"A while ago, the county office sent dozens of soldiers here, but they were all defeated by the tiger and two people were even killed!"

Wu Chao looked at Bai Sheng, a smile on his face.

This one is pretty good, but he's a bit cowardly.

He patted Baisheng's shoulder: "Just relax here and take a nap, those are just rumors spread by people. Haven't you heard the saying 'one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers' On one mountaintop, what could possibly have two tigers"

At this time, Wu Chao's ears twitched slightly. He heard the sound of wheels rolling in the distance.

"Silence, they're here!"s the words left his mouth, several people suddenly appeared on top of the wall. They were holding buckets that they had been preparing earlier, and they poured them down onto Wang Ying and the others...
