Chapter 71.3

When the time came, the mountain bandits rushed to the nearest village at the bottom of the mountain, Lins village. Yet, when they arrived there, they were surprised to find that the Lins Village had already been deserted, as if they knew the bandits were coming.

A group of mountain bandits stood in the village confused, with swords still in their hands. Some unwilling mountain bandits searched the houses, but found that those villagers that disappeared without even leaving a grain of rice.

It doesnt matter, theyll just go to other villages!

They didnt believe that people in other villages were gone too!

Recently, people from the village welcomed Lin Shiheng, who brought news.

The mountain bandits came for our Lin village, and are intending to loot the villages one by one. So, run, run for your lives!

The simple peasant man wiped a handful of sweat from his forehead, Its too late if you dont escape now.

The villagers were surprised. They had all heard about the fierce mountain bandits. If they were caught, it would be over! But if they moved, first of all, not to mention where to hide, how would they have time to carry away all their family belongings? Even if they carried away all their belongings, what if the bandits burned their houses? What could they do?

When they were at a loss and full of panic, Lin Fourth Son rushed over with a few of the villages strongest men behind him.

Father, theres really no place to hide near their village, and there are too many children. If they cry, they will surely get caught. These men then followed me over, intending to defend themselves against the mountain bandits together.

Lin Shiheng stamped his foot anxiously, You child, how could mountain bandits be easy to deal with? You might as well report to the officials and ask the government to come!

As they spoke, Lin Second Son ran over on a donkey, his face all sweaty.

Father! I went to the government to tell them, but the government officials didnt care about it at all, and said I was lying. What are we going to do now, Father?

He was born with good looks, and was brazenly upright like his own father, Lin Shiheng. Right now, he was looking at Lin Shiheng, with Lin Fourth Son, making others look at him involuntarily, waiting for his advice.

Lin Shiheng walked around twice in a dilemma, There nothing we can do now. They are mountain bandits, and we definitely wont be able to beat them. I remember that theres a canyon in front of your village. I am a carpenter and I can make bows and arrows. We should go to the top of the canyon together. Then, we make bows and arrows, and wait for the bandits to come. We stand on top, while they stand below. We can hit them, while they cant reach us.

But making bows and arrows takes time. Wouldnt it be too late?

My family still has some bows and arrows made for the noblemen in the city. Today, I was going to let my third son send them to the city, but I didnt expect to run into bandits coming down the mountain. Well have to use them first.

The men with strong arms, come with me. The women, the elderly, and children, go to the back of the village. Even if were defeated, at least we can save them!

Lin Second Son and Lin Fourth Son had the attitude of listening to whatever Lin Shiheng said. It affected the villagers, and coupled with his calm orders, the group of people subconsciously followed his arrangement, and the men followed him into the canyon.

On the way, they happened to meet Lin Third coming over with a bow and arrow. The group of people quietly waited for the ambush at the top of the canyon.

Slowly, the mountain bandits came. Earlier, Lin Third had sprinkled iron nails on the ground on the way over. Those horses werent wearing horseshoes, and they refused to walk after just one painful step. They only thought that the villagers had left traps before they fled for their lives, and they all gritted their teeth one by one, and they could only walk instead.

Father, there are a lot of rocks up here. Why dont we throw some rocks down later, to save some bows and arrows?

Unlike other people who are busy making bows and arrows, Lin Second Son looked around after going up the canyon, and quickly ran to report when he found some stones.

Okay, divide some people to move the rocks. You go arrange it. This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

After 3 months of hard work and numerous wounds, he finally took a city that his father had indicated he wanted.

The Third Prince didnt hide it from him. Before, he directly took out the military map, pointing to the ideal city, and announced that this was the next destination of the army. Satisfied with his son, the Third Prince dropped the carrot directly in front of him, If you can take this city, my son, Ill talk to the General about your marriage to his daughter.

Mo Chenkes spirit shook, he couldnt wait to wield the army to take the city and marry the Generals daughter, to become the future heir to the throne.

But before he set out with the army, the Third Prince stopped him with a pale face.

Not only he, but also some senior generals and his eight brothers.

Everyone sat together and had a meeting.

The discussion for the meeting: Another civil rebellion group emerged.

Although this rebel group had only been formed a short while ago, it was much more powerful than the civil rebel group before. They took the city that was being watched by the four sides as soon as they struck.

Mo Chenke listened and expressed his opinion, How many horses do they have?

Only a few thousand.

A few thousand?

Mo Chenke simply had to laugh. How could a few thousand men and horses fight a war? He immediately asked for orders, This son would like to lead the army, and take the city for our own army.

The Third Prince, who always agreed immediately when Mo Chenke asked for orders, didnt answer this time. He only frowned and pondered for a moment.

No. The city is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If they can take the city, they must have some ability themselves. Whats more, they are fighting under the idea that the government is forcing people to rebel. We are standing opposite to the court, if we clean them up this time, what would the people think of our army?

To put it bluntly, its the new civil rebellion that was too sneaky. It was only when the most difficult days came, such an anti-governmental group came out. Recently, the four sides were shackled to each other, and court officials were busy taking refuge left and right, and they didnt have time to wrong the people. Even corrupt officials acted with little scruple, and they didnt dare to shoot for too much benefit.

This certainly was a good reason. But why would a new civil rebellion group rise up?

Mo Chenke didnt think so much. Knowing that those people couldnt be cleared out yet, his expression slightly sunk, and his heart didnt feel comfortable. He desperately wanted to prove himself by battling, and naturally wanted to go to the battlefield more often.

Father, what is the origin of the rebels this time? Are they like that Zhao Fang duo, who lead together?

The news was just handed over; the situation is still unclear. I only know that the other party is Lin. They only have one General, and theres no news of claiming a Prince as its leader yet. Lets look at it for now. If he wants to take refuge in other parties, though there are a few thousand people, we could also try to woo them.

Lin

Mo Chenke eyebrows jumped for a moment, before starting to think, his heart had already shown some uneasiness.

But soon, a disdainful smile appeared on his face. They were too silly to fight in a war.

Even if that persons surname is Lin, so what? How can he not know the small Lin familys ability?

A nest of countryside village workers, not to mention that most of them share the same surname, even if they had the same surname, he was 100% sure they werent even related to the Lin family.
