Chapter 312: Battle of wits and courage

"Young Master Ling An, has the antidote been refined?" the town mayor asked when he saw Ling An coming.

"Well, Mayor Town, you have someone bring some water!" Ling An took out the medicinal liquid, and when the water arrived, he poured the liquid medicine into the clear water, and then distributed it to everyone.

Seeing that everyone had recovered, Ling An suddenly spoke: "Mayor Town, which city is this Jiayang Town under the jurisdiction of, and how long will it take to go back and forth?"

"Childe, do you want to?"

"It's time to serve them in a pot, if it's too late, send someone to the city to ask for help, and ask the garrison to come and suppress the bandits!"

"It's too late to come, this place belongs to the jurisdiction of Luoxi City, and if you go back and forth, you can go back and forth in a day and a half, but there is only one way out of the town, I'm worried that I will be guarded by mountain bandits and can't get out!"

"This is a problem, when I came back, I found that there was movement around the town, it should be Lu Batian who sent someone to spy on us!" Ling An fell into deep thought.

"Childe, I know that there is a small road to go out, it is absolutely safe, but it will take two hours longer than the main road, if Childe is relieved, I am willing to go, and I will definitely come back with the army before the mountain bandits come!" said a strong man of thirty-five or sixteen.

Ling An encouraged everyone: "This time the mountain bandits will definitely not give up easily, so if you want to defend your homeland, you must work together to resist the enemy!"

"Childe, you are the lifesaver of our town, what do you say, we will listen to you!"

"Yes, we all listen to you!" everyone echoed.

"Okay, first of all, we need three or four people to set off for Luoxi City for help, is anyone willing to go?"

"I do!"

"I do!"

...

The young and middle-aged people in the town spoke one after another, for the sake of their homes and relatives, they were duty-bound. Ling An chose three people to be with the prime man just now, and then handed over a bag of source crystals to the middle age, and ordered: "After you arrive in Luoxi City, if the defending generals are unwilling to send troops, you will give him this bag of things, and tell him that if he can exterminate all the mountain bandits, there is still a lot of thanks!"

"Got it, Childe. Is there anything else you need to ask?"

"Stay safe, go and come back quickly, we are waiting for you!"

"Don't worry, don't worry, Childe, don't worry, we will definitely invite reinforcements back!" The prime man took the bag, hid it in his chest, and then each took a short knife and headed out of the town.

Bidding farewell to a few people, Ling An arranged it in an orderly manner: "The rest of the people are divided into two groups, one group of people wanders around the town, attracting the attention of the mountain bandits outside the town, and must show weakness and powerlessness, so that they think that we have not yet detoxified, and the other group of people secretly collects all the weapons in the town, and then hides in the shadows, making some bows and arrows and traps, the mountain bandits are only a few dozen people, and when they attack, we have to let them taste our strength!" Now Dan Xingzi is absorbing Luo Yuanguo, and he doesn't know exactly when the mountain bandits will attack, so he must make a few more preparations, just in case.

Under Ling An's arrangement, everyone had a clear division of labor, men, women and children were weak and powerless in places with a wide field of vision, and there were some things that abused each other and fought for things, while men in the prime took turns

They appear on the streets, fighting over things or beating each other, while the rest of the people secretly collect and craft weapons and set traps inside the house.

Outside Jiayang Town, the mountain bandits who were watching saw the chaos in the town, thinking that everyone finally couldn't stand it anymore, and began to have internal strife, and hurriedly asked people to feed back the situation.

"Are they really fighting?" In the cottage lobby, the third child listened to the description of the visitor, and was overjoyed, and gave an order, ready to send troops to Jiayang Town immediately.

"Wait!" the second child walked out, interrupting the third child's plan.

"Second brother, now is a great opportunity, we will take advantage of their infighting and suddenly kill, we will definitely succeed, why do you want to stop me?"

"This matter is not proper, why did they suddenly have infighting? Could it be that there is a deception in the matter!" The second child thought about this matter carefully, and always felt that things were not so simple, but he was a little unspeakable.

"A group of mountain village husbands, even if they are deceitful, can they block the big knife in my hand?" said the third unconvinced.

"Yes, second brother, now that the eldest brother is seriously injured, we can just take this opportunity to avenge him!"

"No, don't forget, although that kid is nowhere to be seen, he must not have left Jiayang Town yet, maybe he is hiding somewhere, waiting for us to throw ourselves into the net?

"But even if the eldest brother gets out, he is only injured, and he still can't beat that child!"

"Don't worry, it won't be this time, after the eldest brother comes out, his strength will be able to increase by at least three levels, are you still afraid that he will be a little hairy boy at that time?"

"Really?" everyone was shocked, and it seemed a bit unbelievable to them to ascend to the third order in a short period of time.

"Of course it's true, when did I lie to you!" the second replied with a serious face, and at the same time carefully checked everyone's expressions to see if everyone had different intentions.

"That's great!"

"It's still a big brother!"

...

Everyone in the hall was talking about it, and when the second child saw that the matter had calmed down, he felt a lot more relieved and walked towards Lu Batian's room!

In the blink of an eye, the agreed three-day deadline was approaching, and in the cottage lobby, everyone saw that Lu Batian had not yet left the customs, and they were a little impatient and quarreled again.

"Second brother, the time has come in three days, and now the eldest brother has not yet come out of the customs, is it that he is actually not well injured, and you deliberately told us that his strength skyrocketed after he came out of the customs, so as to drag us down?"

"Third child, what do you mean by that?"

"What do you mean, when the eldest brother is not there, you treat yourself as the boss, and you don't ask the brothers if they agree!"

"When did I make myself the boss?"

"Then yesterday we were going to send troops, why did you stop us?"

"I said, everything is waiting for the big brother to get out!"

"When will the big brother get out?"

"How do I know that?"

"Since you don't know, then obediently step aside. Brothers, the big boss and Jiayang Town made an appointment for three days, but now the three-day deadline has arrived, but the big boss is not here, in order not to make people laugh at us, everyone gathered people to wash Jiayang Town in blood!"

"The third child, I'm not dead yet, are you ready to seek power and usurp the throne?" Lu Batian's figure flashed and appeared in front of the third child, staring at him fiercely. Just now, Lu Batian completely absorbed the medicinal effect of the Purple Lotus Pill, and his strength skyrocketed to the fifth-order Great Xuan Master, but when he saw that the second child was not in the room, he realized that things had changed, and hurriedly rushed to the lobby, and happened to hear everything the third child said.

"Big... Big brother, you're out of the customs!" the third looked flustered, and cold sweat flowed from his forehead.

"What? You don't want me to get out?"

"No, no, no, how dare the third brother, I have been hoping that the eldest brother can get out of the customs as soon as possible!"

"Really?"

"Of course it is, I can swear if I don't believe it!" The third child stretched out his three fingers as he spoke, and swore a poisonous oath to the sky.

Lu Batian didn't say anything more, it's not that he doesn't understand the third child's dissenting intentions, it's just that the time is not right now, and it is not suitable to deal with his own people.

"Brothers, in this retreat, I have been promoted to the third order in a row, and now I am a fifth-order Great Xuan Master, so I don't have to be afraid of that child anymore!" Lu Batian raised his arms and shouted, and his voice resounded throughout the cottage.

"Congratulations to the big boss for his rapid growth!" everyone bowed and replied, their morale high.

"Now, everyone will go to Jiayang Town with me, and I will be ashamed!"

"Yes!"

In the cottage, nearly 100 people quickly assembled!

Outside Jiayang Town, the dust was flying, and the two teenagers in the town were lying on the trees, and they saw Lu Batian and others attacking from a distance, and hurriedly issued a warning to the town.

"Childe, they're coming!" A person gasped and ran to report to Ling An, Ling An frowned slightly, he didn't expect Lu Batian and them to come so quickly, now Dan Xingzi has not completely refined Luo Yuanguo, and the reinforcements are nowhere to be seen, so they can only rely on themselves.

"Everyone, return to their respective posts and let them taste our awesomeness!" Ling An ordered.

"Yes!"

Everyone dispersed, more than 30 prime of life climbed on the roof of the village, holding homemade bows and arrows, aimed at the outside of the town, watching the mountain bandits getting closer and closer, although there was panic on their faces, but they were fearless, before today, they were just ordinary people, but today, they want to take up weapons in their hands, defend their homes, protect their parents, wives and children!

"Release!" When the mountain bandits were less than a hundred feet, Ling An shouted, and more than thirty sharp arrows shot out quickly, heading towards the mountain bandits.

"Be careful, there is an ambush!" Lu Batian reminded loudly, the source qi condensed, blocking more than ten bows and arrows, and more than ten people were shot off the horse.

"Put it again!" Another batch of bows and arrows was fired, and more than a dozen people fell.

Seeing this, Lu Batian led everyone to speed up their pace and came towards the town.

Under Ling An's command, everyone shot two arrows in a row, and the mountain bandits of nearly 100 people had already lost more than half of them before they entered the town!

"Withdraw!"

More than 30 people climbed down from the roof and disappeared in a blink of an eye!
