Chapter 530 Ambush
Chapter 530 Ambush
Yue Fuli left the house and arranged defense and other matters for his men.
Si He saw that it was still early and those people would not take action so early, so she asked Gao You to prepare some water. The weather was hot now and she would feel uncomfortable without a bath. She had to bathe early tonight to avoid feeling uneasy later.
Outside the post station, the night was pitch black and so quiet that only the chirping of insects could be heard.
Now the entire post station is surrounded by a group of guards and soldiers and is well protected.
Hundreds of people were hiding in the valley not far from the post station. They were all dressed like bandits, with their faces covered with black cloth. But if you looked carefully in the daytime, you could still find some clues, because they did not have the bandit-like air and were disciplined.
At this time, the lights in the post station were on, and it was not time to rest yet. They could only wait and wait for the best opportunity to take action.
Time passed little by little, and after Si He finished bathing, Yue Fuli came back from outside.
"Husband, what's the situation outside?"
After taking a bath, Si He changed into a clean and neat set of men's clothes, with her long hair still tied up. She didn't look like she was preparing to rest, but rather to fight.
However, because she had just taken a shower, her cheeks were moist and some of her hair was still wet with moisture. She looked like a delicate girl with a bit of innocence, but those who knew her knew how ruthless she was when she attacked.
The more beautiful something is, the more dangerous it is. At the same time, the closer you get to it, the easier it is to get caught up in it and unable to extricate yourself.
But the danger she faced was only from outsiders and enemies, but never from him.
Yue Fuli looked at her as if she was ready to kill the enemy at any time, and a strange and complicated feeling surged in his heart again.
Si He looked at him with her bright eyes, waiting for his words, but suddenly she saw him raise one hand and rub her head.
At this moment, Si He was a little stunned.
Such a doting action suddenly made her feel a little dazed, as if she was back many years ago, with familiar faces, familiar actions, and such scenes that had happened countless times before.
At this moment, strong emotions suddenly surged in her heart, like a tide, as if to drown her.
She suddenly threw herself into his arms, like a clingy cat that would rub against its owner's arms after being patted on the head. This throw also hid her strange look.
Yue Fuli's body stiffened again. Although this was not the first time, he was still a little uncomfortable, especially since she was now relying on him wholeheartedly. The feeling in his heart was a little complicated, and he didn't know how to describe it, but there was a hint of secret joy.
Just now, he raised his hand and rubbed her head for some unknown reason. When he realized this subconscious act of pampering, he was a little surprised, but her reaction was even greater, like a little tiger ready to pounce turning into a coquettish and clingy kitten.
However, he was not too surprised by this because she had done this many times.
"Okay, you take a rest first. Those people probably won't act so quickly, and they have already deployed their forces." Yue Fuli said as he slowly withdrew his hand. Although his voice was calm, it revealed a hint of restraint.
After hearing what he said, Si He finally let go of his hand, smiled again, and said to him, "Okay."
Yue Fuli glanced at her, then turned and went to the inner room to take a shower and wash up.
Seeing this, Si He felt relieved, then walked into the bedroom, took out a set of clean clothes from her bag, and placed them on the low cabinet next to the bathroom so that he could change into them later.
Then she checked around the bedroom and made the mattress and pillows.
On the distant hillside, a group of masked people looked at the brightly lit post station from afar, waiting a little anxiously. There were too many mosquitoes in the mountains. Although they had applied insect repellent powder on their bodies, the effect did not seem to be very great. The leader did not give any orders, so they could only wait.
In the post station, the guards of the Shan family have been patrolling around rigorously. In comparison, the soldiers of the Yue family seem much more relaxed, and there are not many people patrolling. It seems that most of them are resting in the house.
However, the Shan family was not too surprised by this, because most of the soldiers led by Yue Zidan in the past were like this. That was why Yue Zidan fell into such a dangerous situation in the previous battle and even lost his base.
The relaxed state of the Yue soldiers also made the people on the distant hillside more confident, but they still did not act rashly.
In the post station, Si He stood by the window, looking at the night outside.
The bright moon hangs high in the night sky, but there are some dark clouds that cover the moon from time to time, making the night sometimes bright and sometimes dark.
It's a peaceful night, but danger lurks on every side.
Judging from Yue Fuli's attitude, she vaguely guessed that the people lying in ambush outside the post station should be from the Yue family.
He has been so popular recently that the people of the Yue family can no longer hold back.
Si He reached out and touched the black ring on his thumb. The Soul Stone and other things had been put into it. Although the Soul Stone had absorbed a lot of "ghost things", it was more than enough to deal with ordinary people, but its power was still too small. It seemed that he had to speed up the progress of making the treasure.
However, before that, he still had to go to Tianshan and take out the Yin-Gathering Stone from the bronze tripod. This thing was a key item in refining equipment.
Tianshan is some distance away from here, and one has to cross Zhongzhou and Qingzhou. These two big states have been in turmoil recently. However, if she travels alone at night and rests during the day, then there is no problem.
But, since Yue Fuli was here, should she answer truthfully? Or should she come up with some excuse?
Just as Si He was thinking about these questions, she heard footsteps in the inner bathroom, and she withdrew her thoughts.
At this time, Yue Fuli had finished bathing and changed into clean clothes. It was the light-colored brocade shirt with dark patterns that Si He had taken earlier. The texture of the clothes was very good, which made him look more elegant.
Yue Fuli saw that she had no intention of resting. Since it was almost time, it would be a good idea to take action in advance. He said to her, "Let's go. Since you don't want to rest, let's go watch a show outside."
Si He raised the corner of her lips, "Okay."
As she said that, she followed Yue Fuli out.
After leaving the room, the guards outside immediately saluted him respectfully, "Master."
He said: "Action."
"Yes!" The two guards responded in unison, and then made a gesture to the soldiers around them. The next moment, they all began to move, evacuating to the rear in a stealthy manner, moving quickly and silently.
Gao You and others immediately went into the house to pack their things and take their bags.
Si He took a few more glances, then followed Yue Fuli from the side corridor towards the back.
As they left, the surrounding lights began to go out one by one, leaving only a few lanterns in the corridor, and the surrounding light was dim.
In just a short while, most of the soldiers in the courtyard had evacuated, leaving only a few with excellent skills remaining at the gate to hide from others.
