Chapter 620: Chapter 620: Ah Wang, Ah Wang, Ah Wang

"Boss! Not good! Someone’s entered the village!"

The driver’s loud shout echoed over Wildcat Village for a long time.

Qin Feng and the other guards’ faces changed, while the smuggler group laughed heartily.

"Second Brother, you’ve come just in time, now let’s see how you escape, hahaha!"

The one-eyed man was extremely pleased, truly heaven-sent assistance.

The underlings also saw the long line of flames walking in from the cliff’s edge. They were doing shady business, so naturally, they operated under the cover of night when unnoticed. At this moment, another smuggler group responsible for the trade was returning to the base camp.

Qin Yao only wanted to say, when you’re down on your luck, even cold water can get you a toothache.

Yin Le sighed in disappointment, quickly adjusted her mindset, and said gravely, "With an extra forty to fifty people, we must cooperate; otherwise, no one will get out."

"Master, should I go help them?" Yin Le asked Qin Yao for advice.

Qin Yao raised her hand, indicating she should stay calm.

"Master!" Yin Le was anxious. If they delayed further, there wouldn’t be a chance to deal with those in the village before the ones outside returned.

Qin Yao remained silent, instead pointing to the cliff, "Look."

"Huh?" Yin Le was astonished, "They actually unloaded all the goods from the carts to block the road and abandoned the carts?"

Qin Yao nodded, acknowledging that Mr. Qin was quite smart and decisive, thinking of such a move in a tight spot.

Although the goods might be lost, blocking the road at the cliff meant the smuggler’s large group couldn’t come in for a while. Without worrying about the goods, they could deal with the stray cats and dogs in the village with full force!

The situation turned instantly, and the one-eyed man’s smug smile froze on his face, "Quick! Quickly call all the people from the cellar over!"

Watching the messenger sprint towards the village, Qin Yao finally waved her hand, "Da Lang, come out; it’s time for you and Ah Yue to make your move. You two go handle the reinforcements at the cellar."

Da Lang let out a low "Ah?" and Liu Ji kicked him on the butt, "Go quickly, listen to your Mother."

Da Lang turned, shocked, to look at Liu Ji, "Father, are you really my father?"

Liu Ji glared back, "When faced with a problem, use your brain. There are thousands of solutions. If you can’t overtake by force, then use wits, understand?"

Lest Qin Yao waited too long and missed the opportunity, Liu Ji raised his voice to urge, "Go quickly!"

Da Lang took a deep breath, gripped the dagger, ran behind the main gate, and met up with Yin Le. They exchanged glances, opened the gate vigorously, and swiftly chased after the messenger.

Before leaving, Da Lang did not forget to reach out to Qin Yao, "Mother, the medicine Uncle Ah Wang gave you, can I get some of it?"

Qin Yao smiled, seemed to be waiting for him to ask for the medicine, and immediately threw him a porcelain bottle.

Although his father was harsh, his words had reminded him—a wise strategy prevails.

Of course, Qin Yao was not an absent-minded person; she glanced inside the house, signaling Liu Ji to lock the courtyard gate and stay inside with the three children, lifted a two-meter-long saber, leaped over the courtyard wall quietly following her apprentice and her great son.

The little guy was quite smart, coating sedatives on Yin Le’s flying darts; the two, in a bright and covert way, infiltrated the smugglers’ lair.

Da Lang burst in, then ran out, startling the thugs, successfully luring the enemy out from their lair, cunningly weaving in and out, creating numerous opportunities for Yin Le to strike.

She appeared like a hidden spirit; unseen and unheard. A flick of the dart anesthetized one after another.

Their coordination took down half of the men before the rest realized the one who was luring them, Da Lang, was just a decoy, turning instead to surround and attack Yin Le.

"I’m dead!" Yin Le cried inwardly. She was an auxiliary from the distance. Handling two or three up close was manageable, but being surrounded by ten at once was quite daunting.

Fortunately, with her being in the dark and them in daylight, she calmed down and began to take them out one by one.

However, with the darts limited in number, she reached to her waist in vain, Yin Le realized she had to face the enemy directly.

Suddenly Da Lang saw a silver knife gleaming behind Yin Le, and loudly warned, "Senior Sister Le, watch your back!"

However, prioritizing others left him unguarded himself, a large net swooped down on him. Da Lang hadn’t anticipated such a move, he was ensnared tightly.

His dagger clanged to the ground as he fell awkwardly onto the hard mud, struggling desperately to free himself from the net.

Yin Le had just evaded the knife when she glanced up and saw Da Lang trapped. With a sweep of the leg, she kicked up a cloud of dust and used the moment while her foes squinted to dash out of the encirclement, rush to Da Lang’s side, rapidly picking up his dagger to fend off those aiming to hurt him.

But one of them raised a bow and arrow, drew it fully and aimed at Yin Le’s back!

From such close range, even though Yin Le sensed it, there was no time to avoid it, she could only think about how to dodge the vital parts.

Just as the arrow was about to pierce her shoulder, suddenly a pebble flew in at an angle, small yet with the momentum of splitting gold, "Thud" breaking the arrow in two, the sharp arrowhead losing force and falling to the ground.

Yin Le and Da Lang were overjoyed, subconsciously wanting to call out "Master\Mother."

Unexpectedly, a dark figure descended from the sky, silently charged at them, silently knocked the thugs before them away. Effortlessly resolving the offensive from the remaining thugs, his grasp turned into claws, "crackling" snapping several necks.

As if they were not human necks, but rather chicken or duck necks, snapping them with ease.

As if only a gust of wind had passed, those smuggler thugs, who had caused such chaos for Yin Le and Da Lang, all ended up dead and stiff.

"Killing people, is it that hard?"

He stood with his arms folded under the faint moonlight, slightly turning his body, the moonlight outlining a rather plain profile.

The two on the ground instantly had their hearts racing.

"Ah Wang!"

"Uncle Ah Wang——!"

Ah Wang’s lips curled up a little but quickly restrained himself, he raised his eyes to look at Qin Yao, who came from the shadows carrying the two-meter-long saber, with anxiety, unease, and helplessness...

"Madam, I, I..." Just now a master who killed as easily as snapping chickens or ducks, his momentum instantly deflated when facing her.

Qin Yao stopped two meters in front of him, just within reach of the saber.

She glanced him up and down. Wearing gray clothes and looking rather grimy, no knowing in what strange places he was hiding.

His hair, both hard and spiky, was untamed by the cloth band, looking like a mess.

His chin had a stubble, taking three or four days before reaching this length.

"When did you start following us?"

Ah Wang responded honestly, "The day after you set off."

"No farming anymore?"

"Mm."

"Planning to head to the Capital City together?"

"Mm."

"Aren’t you afraid of assassination?"

Hesitating for a moment, he replied very seriously, "I find that without Da Lang, Second Lang, Sanlang, Fourth Sister, and Old Master, it’s meaningless to live."

The two apprentices flared up, "What about us?"

Ah Wang nodded quickly, "Yes, with you around, I shouldn’t die that easily."

Actually, he intended to say with Madam there, he wouldn’t die too soon. But lest Yin Le get irritated and relentless, he said "you guys."

After being with the Old Master for so long, his emotional quotient seemed to have improved quite a bit~

Ah Wang was secretly pleased.

The four exchanged glances, realizing they should now deal with the group at the village entrance.

"All that silver, Ah Wang, don’t kill them all for me, dead men are worthless." Right? Probably.

Qin Yao wasn’t certain, anyway, if taking them alive to the government office couldn’t be counted for money, then killing them later wouldn’t be too late.

But if they died now, and the office wanted them alive, she wouldn’t be able to bring them back to life.
