There are no cavalry among the hundreds of servants brought by Balliard. Kaiyang Province is not a horse-producing area, and the relationship between Kaiyang Marquis and other marquises is not harmonious. It is just a joke to want to establish a cavalry.

Therefore, the infantry of the Bai Lai came to the stronghold and began to surround the stronghold... Fortunately, there were not many enemies on the surface of the stronghold, and even though they were scattered, they were not repulsed.

A large part of the soldiers behind the fortifications were just phantoms, and the attacks of those phantoms had no effect on Valliad's soldiers.

"People inside, listen! You have been surrounded, why don't you just surrender!"

Hundreds of people went to surround the stronghold with thousands of people. When Longshe proposed that this was the first step of the plan, Balliard still couldn't believe it and even doubted Longshe's purpose.

But... he did not reject Longshe's proposal, nor did he raise any questions. Anyway, no matter what other purpose Longshe had, Balliard was confident that he could escape, or at worst pretend to be dead.

In his world line, no one is stupid enough to use breathing to identify the life and death of spiritual bodies, but in this world, there are no spiritual bodies.

And now, facts have proven that Longshe's plan was not wrong in the first step.

"Surrounding? Who are you? How dare you offend Kaiyang Hou's troops! Aren't you afraid of my Marquis?"

In the phantom, there is a farmer in his forties or fifties, carrying a hoe and questioning Valliard...

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly solidified, and the soldiers surrounding the stronghold stopped attacking one after another.

"...It's a bit embarrassing, Wook, what's going on now?"

Balliard began to use his shadow to investigate the stronghold. He found that apart from the phantoms, the stronghold was filled with farmers and a few hunters. They did not look like soldiers under a traitor at all.

"I don't know, but I can call the old farmer and ask."

"also."

Balliard began to worry about their trip. They had been discussing plans and strategies for so long in the tent, and even Longshe came up with suggestions. But what was the result? Longshe's plan had not reached the second step, and he was forced to

was interrupted.

"Don't the old farmers in the village not recognize my young lady? The daughter of Jiang Miao, the eldest son of the Marquis, and the most orthodox heir-in-waiting is right in front of you, and you still ask who we are?"

Wook used secret techniques to spread his voice, and suddenly there were many

The farmers walked out of the stronghold and watched outside the stronghold.

"That's Miss?"

"Yes, it's Miss. Last time I went to Kaiyang City, I saw Miss giving porridge to refugees."

"Then what are we doing here?"

Among the noisy farmers and hunters, an old farmer walked out. The old farmer walked towards Valliard, while several hunters behind him drew their bows.

"Who are you?"

Balliard began to question the farmer who came out voluntarily. Judging from the fact that this old farmer went out of the camp without being blocked but was protected by hunters, he should be the leader of the group of people in this stronghold.

"My surname is Zhang. Miss, just call me Old Man Zhang."

Old man Zhang is not young, but his body is still strong. He is carrying a special hoe... Anyway, Balliard does not think that a normal hoe would be that big, a full two and a half meters long.

"You recognize me?"

"Of course, the young lady may not have cared about me, but I have received the grace of the young lady to survive. How could I not recognize the young lady?"

"...Why did you gather in that stronghold?"

Balliard did not choose to continue talking about "past events" with Old Man Zhang. He didn't know who Jiang Yan had saved and who he had helped. It would not be good if he continued to talk and exposed the truth.

"Someone holding a token from the Marquis's family led us here and said that this was the Marquis's plan."

"Where's that guy?"

Balliard continued to ask, what was Kaiyang Hou's plan? Impossible. Many people in the Hou's mansion knew the man who was used to break down the door that day. It was impossible for Kaiyang Hou to use Jiang Miao's confidant to plan the plan.

Moreover, this "game" lacks meaning. Directed and acted by himself, the traitor knew that a group of Qingchuan thieves had captured Jiang Miao, and then asked the traitor to find trouble with the Qingchuan thieves?

Impossible, the traitor has clues about Jiang Miao, and is hunting or even looking to catch Jiang Miao. How could he be deceived by such a trick?

"Miss, you disappeared before your troops came around."

"Only one person?"

"More than 20 people, there are quite a lot of people. We are all gathered from all over Kaiyang Province."

"...Wook, let someone bring those farmers and hunters back and collect all the weapons."

"yes."

"Miss, there are still

What do you want to ask?"

Old Man Zhang seemed to have something to say. Seeing that Balliard had no intention of continuing to ask, he had no choice but to ask Balliard. This was already an offense.

"...If you have anything else to say, just say it."

"That group of people seemed to have accomplices, and there were quite a few of them. After sending people to arrange and build the stronghold, they disappeared."

Old Man Zhang vaguely sensed that something was not right. Kaiyang Hou sent people to gather them here, but Kaiyang Hou's heir did not know this, and Kaiyang Hou's envoy left before Kaiyang Hou's heir arrived.

"Gone?"

Wook began to break out in a cold sweat and his body was shaking a little, which made Balliard feel upset - something bad was about to happen again.

"Wook, tell me what you think."

Although he would not tell him any good news, Valliard did not want to encounter danger without understanding the danger at all.

"We have fallen into a trap. The trap set by the traitor is not the small stronghold, nor the area around the stronghold, but the entire Qingzhu Peak!"

As Wook spoke, he began to look around,

"For the sake of heaven, they can control the fire we set to burn the mountain, or they can control it by setting fire themselves. When we enter Qingzhu Peak, their goal of annihilating us will be achieved."

"...but they didn't take action, why?"

It turned out that they had already walked into the trap and were looking for traps in the traps. No wonder everything they saw was a trap.

"Because of this group of farmers, the traitor's purpose is not only to eliminate the young lady, but also to damage the reputation of the Marquis. More than ten years ago, the traitor attributed the casualties of the people of Fanyang City to the eldest young master, making the entire Fanyang City people hate the eldest young master.

Today, the traitor is going to repeat his old tricks, leading us to attack the city and massacre these people. Only five or six survivors will be enough to pour dirty water on the Marquis again.

But we didn't do that. Those people left here not long ago. I estimate that the traitorous people have already gotten the news at this time. In less than half an hour, the flames will sweep through the entire Qingzhu Peak."
