Saving System: Calm Down, My Fleeing Host!-Chapter 86: Mission, Ambush IV

With everyone watching expectantly, Boss Qian took a sip of water, soothed his throat, and solemnly said, "It has been confirmed, we will act three days from now at the Hour of the Dog. Our contact will create chaos outside, and our men will gather at the North Gate to attack, cooperating from inside and outside."

Boss Zhao, who had a goatee, asked, "How many troops do we have in total?"

Boss Qian: "More than 600 people; this is the combined strength of several of our family forces."

Landlord Tan murmured, "Too few, one mistake and the entire army could be wiped out."

Boss Qian looked at Doctor Xue, who had not spoken, "Will the Xue Family be willing to help?"

Boss Qian and Doctor Xue were neighbors as children, both families residing in Yanzhou County, both were influential figures. Boss Qian was a concubine’s son in his family, so he was assigned to a remote place to manage part of the family business; even so, he remains the wealthiest landlord in Qishan Town. Doctor Xue is the legitimate third young master of the Xue Family, but because of his passion for medical research, his family strongly opposed it. For the sake of his dream, he left in anger, gone for decades.

Apart from Cheng Xiaoxiao, all the medicinal herbs in Baishan Pharmacy were supplied by Boss Qian, so the two have been in contact over the years. Boss Qian is also the only one who knows Doctor Xue’s family background and history.

Doctor Xue was filled with melancholy. In his youth, it was inevitable to be arrogant, and acting on impulse, he left home. He didn’t marry or have children all these years, truly embarrassed to return home, and now his elder brother has to send people to save him, how could he bear it?

Understanding Old Friend Xue’s dilemma well, Boss Qian encouraged him, "No matter what, blood ties are dear, believe that Mr. Xue will not stand by and do nothing."

"I have roughly conveyed the news to my apprentice, Cang Er. As for whether my elder brother will send support, it’s hard to say." Over the years, I don’t know if my brother is more disappointed or more resentful. Can he forgive this ungrateful, unrighteous man?

A burly man with a full beard sighed, "What a pity for my brothers, don’t know how they are doing now."

Landlord Tan: "Brother Cui Da, how many of your brothers are left?"

Cui Da, with arms crossed, leaned against the corner, a straw in his mouth, spoke carelessly, "How many could be left, the third and fourth died during the chaos, the second and fifth were injured, and their chances are slim. The rest of the brothers are average fighters, if not killed, about a hundred are left!"

As he spoke, remembering his deceased brothers, he gnashed his teeth, "Damn it, even if I die, I’ll drag a few down with me."

"Ugh!" Landlord Tan also harbors a wish to drink those people’s blood and eat their flesh. His adorable little daughter, because she was away, couldn’t be sent off with her two brothers, along with two beautiful concubines, all suffered evil hands. His hatred isn’t any less than Brother Cui’s!

But... what can be done?

They are all prisoners now, how can they talk about revenge.

"Have the other two prisoner zones been notified?" Boss Zhao turned to Boss Qian.

"Since we’re taking action, they must have been notified." After speaking, he added mournfully, "I don’t know how many lives this operation will require to exchange for a chance at life." He couldn’t help but feel some reluctance.

Doctor Xue also felt this reluctance, "To be honest, I don’t agree with this plan, the risk is too great."

The cost to be paid is also too high. The people here are all wealthy and influential people from Qishan Town, or have backgrounds. To save these people, using people from the other two prisoner zones as a shield is really not fair.

Boss Zhao: "What else can we do? If we don’t bring so many people along, just our prison area alone can’t escape."

Boss Qian: "It’s up to individual luck! We’ll do our best to help those who can escape, and for those who can’t, they will be buried here forever."

"Do you guys really believe we can definitely escape? We might as well be buried here too." Cui Da suddenly dashed cold water on their hopes, making everyone’s mood heavy, with a bleak road ahead.

System: "Host, it turns out these people want to use the numerical advantage of the other two districts, causing chaos, to buy themselves time to escape!"

Cheng Xiaoxiao, sitting cross-legged, rested her chin on her hand, "With someone helping, my plan can be twice as effective with half the effort, that’s great!" Her own life is a bit more secured now.

The system didn’t understand what its host meant, did she even listen to it talking?

"Host, host..."

The system still wanted to say something, but Cheng Xiaoxiao had already fallen onto the pillow, covering her head with a quilt, "Don’t bother me."

System: "..."

The system, thinking it had become quite clever, did not understand the meaning of the host’s words, why couldn’t it keep up with the host’s train of thought?

It seems it needs to learn more...

The next day

When the sun was shining bright, Zhou Yanlan received a letter from Leng Qi. Looking at the contents of the letter, his usually cold and handsome face furrowed slightly, his heart was deeply shaken and could not calm for a long time.

"You’re wrong..."

The cryptic sentence made Han Yi scratch his head in confusion, what was going on?

What shocking words did Leng Qi write in the letter? Making the usually composed Prince look so shocked.

Unable to care about undermining authority, he grabbed the letter from the Prince’s hand to read.

When Han Yi finished reading the letter, his mouth opened in an O shape, hardly daring to believe that Miss Cheng actually had the ability to foresee dreams. That was not even the most shocking part, the most shocking part was that she was aware of events occurring within a kilometer radius.

Of course, the kilometer range was an estimate by Leng Qi, which was already amazing. It means if someone wants to attack her, to ambush her, they are exposed within a kilometer. If she isn’t facing a top-notch Qinggong expert, she has no problem escaping.

Han Yi thought, that’s not even the core point. If this ability were used on the battlefield, any secret deployments by the enemy would be just for show. This Miss Cheng is like a walking doomsday weapon!

She must be protected well...

Han Yi tremblingly said, "Your Highness, should we just invite Miss Cheng to be our guest directly?" That way, dominating the world wouldn’t be impossible either! Just thinking about it was exciting!

Zhou Yanlan gave Han Yi a sidelong glance, "Didn’t you see that if she doesn’t solve the consequences of her foresight, she will die?"

Han Yi, unconcerned, replied, "Isn’t that simple? Your Highness can send a large number of troops and directly annihilate that group of bandits to save the day."

Han Yi continued to speak proudly but seeing the prince’s face wasn’t looking good, his mind turned, "Right, that is to the south, indeed it’s difficult to send a large number of troops, otherwise your brother would think you’re trying to seize power and would make trouble for you in front of the Prince."

After saying that, seeing that the Prince still stared at him coldly, he could only open his mouth awkwardly, "Is there anything else wrong?"

Zhou Yanlan didn’t care at all about what his foolish brother would do. He was currently pondering how many men to dispatch to help appropriately?

Han Yi, self-assured about his intelligence, really couldn’t guess Zhou Yanlan’s thoughts, and could only ask cautiously, "Your Highness..."

"If a large number of troops are dispatched to annihilate the bandits, who will get the credit?"
