As soon as Li Xiaoran said this, everyone stopped.
“Husband, the other party has indeed set up an ambush on the mountain!
There are more than a hundred people hiding in four directions!”
When Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he asked, “You heard them breathing?”
Li Xiaoran knew what Luo Cheng meant and nodded. “That’s right, I heard them! I can hear them very clearly in this cave!”
The others were already used to this sort of thing!
Li Xiaoran’s extraordinary hearing was something that everyone knew about, so no one doubted Li Xiaoran’s words.
Only Luo Cheng knew that Li Xiaoran relied on sensing other people’s emotions to distinguish where these people were and the quant.i.ty.
“Rest here first. Zi Cheng, follow me. We’ll each bring a team to deal with the people in two directions! Remember, if the wind is right, it’s best to use powder. This way, it won’t be too troublesome to deal with it. Try not to make any noise! After that, come back here and gather!” Luo Cheng made a prompt decision and made arrangements.
Zi Cheng stood up, then chose a group of people and immediately set off.
Luo Cheng also chose a team and ran in the other two directions.
The remaining people stayed here to rest and protect Li Xiaoran.
Li Xiaoran was very confident in Luo Cheng and Zi Cheng’s skills, so she found a stone and sat down.
The surrounding bushes grew very lushly. When people sat inside to rest, people couldn’t see anything from the outside.
In order not to attract attention, everyone squatted there without speaking.
The people in the outermost circle had their backs facing everyone and were on guard.
Once they discovered any movements around them, they could respond in time.
On Luo Cheng’s side, he headed towards the direction Li Xiaoran had pointed out previously and found more than 30 people in a forest.
At this moment, the thirty people were sitting around and talking in low voices.
“Sigh, it was raining heavily last night and I was freezing! In this cave, we can start a fire to warm ourselves. Outside, we can only stand in the cold and stomp our feet to warm ourselves!” A man frowned as he said angrily, “It was clearly very hot when we were in town previously, but why do I feel like it’s winter when we’re on this mountain?! It’s so cold now, but they haven’t even sent up our winter clothes. Why are we still guarding here?! ”
“Alright, stop complaining! Can’t you see that everyone else is also freezing just like you?” A bearded man replied impatiently.
The man who had complained previously said, “In my opinion, Luo Cheng won’t come in advance. We’re freezing now, so what’s wrong with starting a fire to warm ourselves? If we really freeze, we won’t have the strength to push stones anymore!”
This time, no one spoke.
When Luo Cheng heard this, he immediately had an idea and told one of his subordinates a way.
The person beside him nodded and quickly grabbed the outermost person. After he changed into that person’s clothes and picked up some firewood, he carried them to an empty s.p.a.ce and started the fire.
Soon, the fire was lit and the firewood was burning.
Seeing this, the surrounding people moved towards the fire silently.
Even the two people who had spoken earlier walked over to warm themselves by the fire.
They had no other choice. They were freezing. If they continued to freeze, everyone’s bodies would suffer.
However, as they roasted themselves by the fire, they felt a little dizzy.
By the time they sensed that something was wrong, everyone fainted.
After confirming that they were all unconscious, Luo Cheng didn’t turn off the fire. Instead, he let the wood continue to burn.
It turned out that after Luo Cheng’s men pretended to be the other party’s people, they lit the wood with powder.
Luo Cheng left some people to tap these people’s acupoints and tie them up before going in the other direction.
This time, Luo Cheng asked his men to disguise themselves as the other party’s people again and pretend to carry a pile of wood to light a fire.
“What’s wrong with you? Why are you here to light a fire?” The leader sensed that something was wrong and quickly came over to stop him.
“Boss, look, they’ve already lit the fire to keep themselves warm. Why can’t we keep warm as well? If this continues, we’ll freeze to death! I don’t want to die!” Luo Cheng’s men said as they quickly lit the fire.
“That’s right! The others lit a fire to keep warm, so we have to warm ourselves by the fire too! If you don’t want us to warm ourselves by the fire, hurry up and send us warm clothes and pants! It’s too cold here!” Some people who were already dissatisfied stood up and pulled that person away to stop him from extinguishing the fire.
This time, an argument broke out. There were even people protecting the people who started the fire.
Luo Cheng’s men lit another fire.
Just like that, the people who were still arguing felt dizzy after a gust of wind.
However, they didn’t suspect that they had been drugged. Instead, they felt that they must have gotten sick from the cold.
Just like that, Luo Cheng dealt with the people in two directions.
On Zi Cheng’s side, after noticing the smoke and hearing that the people inside were also making a fuss, he immediately thought of the same idea. He asked someone to pretend to be one of the other party’s people and start a fire.
Just like that, they dealt with the people in the remaining two directions without any bloodshed.
However, Zi Cheng also learned two pieces of news from these people’s conversation. There were more than thirty people in the cave, and more than ten people had gone down the mountain to get cotton clothes.
After everyone gathered again, Zi Cheng told Luo Cheng this news.
“I also received this news. Xiaoran, can you listen again and see where this cave is?” Luo Cheng looked at Li Xiaoran and asked.
Li Xiaoran nodded, closed her eyes, and tried to sense it.
After a while, Li Xiaoran finally sensed some people’s emotions.
It turned out that the people in the cave had been sleeping previously and had very low emotional fluctuations, so Li Xiaoran didn’t sense the existence of
these people.
After sensing carefully, coupled with the fact that some people had woken up from their slumber, Li Xiaoran sensed their emotions.
Li Xiaoran opened her eyes and looked at Luo Cheng as she said, “There’s a cave about a hundred meters away in the northeast.. I’m not sure about the number of people inside, but I sensed more than twenty people!”
