Chapter 23
When Pei Yuanshao heard this, he immediately became angry.

He slapped the table hard, stared at the man with wide eyes and shouted.

"Why did you come to report after arriving twenty miles away? Aren't our spies scattered for forty miles?"

The person who reported the message was embarrassed, and it took him a long time to reply hesitantly.

"The brothers on the outskirts may have been cleared out by the officers and soldiers. This time, it's a letter from a secret sentry brother who narrowly escaped from death!"

Zhou Cang frowned tightly when he heard this, he turned his head to look at Pei Yuanshao and said.

"The visitor is not kind, brother, we need to prepare early!"

Pei Yuanshao thought for a while before speaking.

"We have more than 1 brothers in our hands. Although we can't fight any county towns, it is still very easy to defend a mountain! How about this, you take 2000 people to go around behind them, and when they are weak in attacking the mountain, go from behind... "

Speaking of the latter, Pei Yuanshao made a killing motion.

Zhou Cang immediately said hello knowingly, then turned and left the big tent quickly.

Pei Yuanshao shouted loudly at this moment.

"The whole army prepares for war! Prepare more stones and rolling logs! Be careful not to defend to death, and we must not let them attack the mountain!"

After hearing this order, a group of young people shouted and responded, and everyone was excited to do a big job.

But two hours later...

Pei Yuanshao had already turned around twice in the big tent, his face was full of anxiety and doubt.

"Where are the people? Where did the enemy go? Why can't they find a trace within twenty miles! Could it be that they got lost?"

This was not the first time he had yelled, but none of the leaders of the camp could answer his question.

Three batches of scouts have been sent out, but the reports of the three batches of scouts are surprisingly consistent - the officers and soldiers can't be found!
At the same time, Zhou Cangbu, who went down the mountain early and hid in the ravine.

Zhou Cang was also full of doubts at this time, always looking in the direction of the mountain from time to time.

"Why hasn't there been any movement yet? According to the time, this should have been hot for a long time!"

Zhou Cang felt very uneasy about the strange silence in front of him.

But the plan has been made, and he can't change his actions without authorization.

So Zhou Cang and others could only hide in the ravine and wait bitterly.

When it was dusk, Pei Yuanshao couldn't wait any longer, so he ordered people to make a fire to cook.

The group of people who had been tense for a long time finally relaxed gradually.

At this time, Liu Ce, Zhang Fei, and Que Chao rode slowly to the gate of the cottage.

The sentinels standing guard at the gate looked dumbfounded. Where did these three people come from?
Why did the sentry posts at the foot of the mountain and on the mountainside not warn?
"Stop! Who are you?"

A veteran reacted in surprise, and immediately clenched the steel fork in his hand and shouted loudly.

His voice was considered a meritorious service, and the leisurely people around hurriedly picked up sticks and surrounded him.

At this moment, Zhang Fei took two steps forward, took a deep breath, and then yelled loudly at the cottage.

"Donghai Liu Ce, come to worship the mountain!"

His voice is so high!
With this shout, the people on half of the mountain were startled, and even the birds in the nearby forest were scared away.

Pei Yuanshao had just picked up a bowl of wine and was drinking it, but suddenly he was so frightened by Zhang Fei's voice that he didn't even hold the bowl.

"What's the situation? Why does this thunder sound so close? It seems to be right at the gate of the village!"

He had just finished speaking when a minion ran in with his hands covering his ears.

"Master, there are three people outside the cottage! It's Donghai Liu Ce who came to pay homage to the mountain, you see?"

Only then did Pei Yuanshao remember that that was what the thunderous voice yelled just now.

"There are only three people here?"

The minion nodded quickly and said yes, and Pei Yuanshao nodded slowly and said.

"Tell them to wait in the lobby, and set up a knife and ax array for me at the door!"

The guy clasped his fists in response, then quickly turned around and ran out.

Not long after, Liu Ce, Zhang Fei, and Que Chao were brought to a wooden hall.

In front of the hall, there were already two rows of bandit soldiers holding knives and axes with fierce eyes.

"Axe Formation? Interesting! Brother, let me go first..."

After hearing this, Liu Ce slightly raised his hand to stop Zhang Fei.

"This bit of battle can't scare your elder brother, you take Que Chao to bring Maotai wine on horseback!"

Zhang Fei hesitated for a moment after hearing this, and finally greeted Que Chao, who had already turned around and walked back.

Liu Ce raised his head and chest, and walked quickly towards the hall.

Every time two thieves passed by, the knives and axes in their hands would be severed.

This puts Liu Ce's courage into consideration. If he hesitates for a moment while walking forward, he is likely to be hacked to death on the spot.

Liu Ce strode forward all the way, without a second of hesitation, he walked to the entrance of the hall.

At this moment, Pei Yuanshao and a group of leaders are waiting for him inside!

"Dare to ask what is coming?"

A leader stood out and stopped in front and asked in a cold voice.

Liu Ce didn't even look at him, stretched out his hand and pushed him aside, and walked straight to Pei Yuanshao.

When the other leaders saw this, they immediately drew their swords out of their sheaths and surrounded them, but Liu Ce didn't even blink.

Pei Yuanshao could tell right away that the person who came today was definitely not simple.

"Who is your Excellency? What's the point of coming to me?"

In desperation, Pei Yuanshao had no choice but to ask questions himself.

A slight smile appeared on the corner of Liu Ce's mouth, and then he stretched out his hand to push away the two bosses who stood in front of him before speaking.

"I'm here to save you, to give you a chance to live!"

Pei Yuanshao and the others were taken aback when they heard this, and then burst out laughing.

"What are you talking about? Why can't I understand! Try saying it again..."

A fat man weighing more than two hundred catties put a knife on Liu Ce's neck, then glared at him fiercely and asked loudly.

Liu Ce didn't talk nonsense, he just dodged to the side very quickly, and then pulled and stretched his hands, instantly dislocating the fat man's arm holding the knife!

In the next second, Liu Ce pushed the man down hard, and his right elbow hit the back of his head hard.

After the fat man groaned, he fell heavily to the ground.

"Is there anyone else who doesn't understand?"

Pei Yuanshao was shocked by Liu Ce's skill, and the other leaders were also stunned for a moment.

Although they didn't dare to do anything, they still had to say the cruel things that should be said.

"Arrogant enough! What audacity!"

"Isn't this slapping our head in the face in public?"

"Don't stop me, I must let him know what a gangster is today!"

When the whole room was clamoring and saying harsh words, Zhang Fei and Que Chao strode in with four boxes of Moutai in their arms.

"Brother, where do you put these drinks?"

Zhang Fei, who was eight feet long, with a leopard head and ring eyes, a swallow jaw and a tiger beard, stood in the hall. His voice was like thunder, and his aura like a fierce tiger immediately calmed down everyone present.

Seeing this, Liu Ce immediately took the opportunity to smile and look at Pei Yuanshao and asked quietly.

"The head of the family, should we finish the drink before talking, or finish the fight before talking? Your territory is up to you, so let's have a good word!"
