On the first night of her marriage, she was hospitalized

Chapter 317 She just stood by and watched someone die!
Zhang Xiangdong called out to her.

Jiang Tang turned around and looked at Zhang Xiangdong.

"Comrade Xiao Jiang, I'd like to trouble you to take a few people and escort Comrade Xu Hui out of the mountains. Is that alright?"

"You're not leaving?"

Jiang Tang countered with a question.

Zhang Xiangdong nodded.

"The wealth and resources discovered here are too enormous; we cannot all leave the mountains."

He had thought about it last night. He would stay here with his men and wait for the members who went out to report to their superiors. Once the superiors brought in the main force, he would leave with them.

As for Jiang Tang, she has already led them here, so there's no need to trouble her with the rest.

Zhang Xiangdong handed Jiang Tang a letter he had written the night before, asking her to pass it on to Minister Song when she got back.

Jiang Tang frowned as she held the letter.

"What's wrong, Comrade Jiang? Is there something troubling you?"

"I want to stay."

Jiang Tang spoke frankly, explaining her meaning and outlining the difficulties she faced.

"But I promised Lu Changzheng that I must leave the mountain within six days."

Zhang Xiangdong was taken aback at first, then realized what was going on. "Are you worried about our safety? Don't worry..."

"No."

Jiang Tang denied it naturally, "I just wanted to stay and deal with a few more bad guys."

Zhang Xiangdong...

There's no need to be so frank.

"Don't worry, Comrade Xiao Jiang. You take Chen Yue, Wang Yang, and Liu Baoguo to see Comrade Xu Hui out. I'll stay here with the rest of the men."

"If an enemy really comes, we can deal with them."

"Oh."

Jiang Tang thought about it and realized that this was the only way.

She couldn't go back on her word to Lu Changzheng.

"Where are those two bad guys?"

Jiang Tang thought of the two people huddled in the corner.

Having been hungry and thirsty all night, their lips were cracked and their faces were pale; they were no longer as energetic as they had been when they poisoned the other day.

Zhang Xiangdong glanced at them and asked Jiang Tang to help deliver it.

But I was also worried that it would be inconvenient for her to bring so many people out of the mountains by herself.

“In that case, I will arrange for two more people to come down the mountain with you.”

Zhang Xiangdong arranged for two more team members to come, so there were only seven of them left in the mountains.

There are seven men, each a young and strong soldier. If no unexpected situation arises, they should be able to hold this place.

Jiang Tang nodded.

"Then let's go."

Since everything was already arranged, there was no need to stay any longer. Jiang Tang invited them to leave the large cave and go to the cave outside.

Zhang Xiangdong and his men who stayed behind decided to use this cave as a base to guard the treasure vault and wait for reinforcements from the main force.

Jiang Tang told them that there was a lake not far from the woods ahead, which alleviated Zhang Xiangdong and the others' concerns about the lack of fresh water.

Now we can just wait patiently for the military leaders to arrive.

"Comrade Jiang Tang, please take good care of me on the way."

After Zhang Xiangdong finished speaking, he went to Xu Hui, who was lying on the stretcher, and said, "Don't think too much. Go back and take good care of your injuries. We'll wait for your triumphant return."

"Captain, I can stay."

Xu Hui still wanted to persevere.

Zhang Xiangdong waved his hand, "Health is important."

"You have already done a great job."

Not only Xu Hui, but all the members of their team made contributions.

There's no doubt they'll receive a collective second-class merit award.

Xu Hui had no choice but to follow Zhang Xiangdong's arrangements.

Jiang Tang, along with five others, carrying Xu Hui and chasing after two disheveled villains, left the cave and entered the forest.

Zhang Xiangdong watched their figures disappear before turning around.

"Captain Zhang."

Lin Yi spoke to Zhang Xiangdong, "You forgot to tell Comrade Xiao Jiang not to kill those two. She wouldn't kill them on the way, would she?"

"Oh no!" Zhang Xiangdong was reminded of something very important.

I completely forgot to give Xiao Jiang a specific task...

Without his instructions, she wouldn't have really acted on her own and killed those two, would she?

Zhang Xiangdong craned his neck to look into the woods, but apart from the leaves and tree trunks, there was nothing else to be seen in the dense forest.

Helpless, he could only console himself that at least Xu Hui was still around.

With him there, he should be able to keep an eye on Xiao Jiang and prevent her from killing the hostage.

But thinking about it carefully, if Jiang Tang really accidentally killed them, it wouldn't matter.

Who told them to be dishonest and try to escape after being caught?

Well, Jiang Tang hasn't even started yet, and Zhang Xiangdong has already thought of a way out for her.

Jiang Tang, who had already left, was unaware of his "good intentions".

She led the way, while Chen Yue stood guard on the side.

The comrade carrying the stretcher walked in front, while the other two, holding two hostages, walked behind.

With their mouths gagged, hands tied, and feet partially bound by ropes, the two, who could only take tiny steps, were now exhausted and hungry.

I have absolutely no strength to move forward.

However, the current situation is not one where they can afford to be picky.

Whether or not we can leave, we have to leave.

They might also act stubborn and not want to leave.

Without saying a word, Jiang Tang stopped and turned around, pulling out a military dagger from her backpack and wiping it on her clothes.

The two people were immediately stunned.

I dare not move, I really dare not move at all.

With Jiang Tang's gentle persuasion, the team's progress, while not very fast, was not too slow either.

They walked for a day.

They crossed two mountains.

We spent the night on a platform next to a canyon.

There is a large, crooked tree here, under which is a large rock, and under the rock is a platform where they can make a fire and rest.

"Little Jiang, shall we start a fire?"

Chen Yue asked Jiang Tang, who was standing on the edge of the cliff, what she was looking at.

Jiang Tang turned around and nodded.

"You start a fire."

"I'll go catch a few pheasants."

That's the good thing about the dense forests; there are plenty of pheasants and rabbits.

Jiang Tang went into the woods and came out a while later, carrying three pheasants and a rabbit.

This is their dinner tonight.

The soldiers who didn't go hunting pheasants took the prey from Jiang Tang, skinned and gutted them, cleaned them, rubbed them with salt, and then started roasting them over the fire.

While they were preparing dinner, Jiang Tang went into the woods again.

She took a small hoe and searched the woods for a while, digging up a few ginseng roots that were relatively young.

About twenty or thirty years ago.

She stuffed the ginseng into her bag before preparing to leave the woods for dinner.

I had only walked a few steps when I heard the sound of birds fluttering in the distant woods.

Jiang Tang turned around and looked at the woods in confusion, only to see a person covered in blood rushing out from inside.

When he saw her, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Comrade Jiang Tang, what are you doing here?"

Gong Guodong made a sound as he ran.

Jiang Tang recognized the person who came, turned around indifferently, and walked towards their accommodation for the night as if it were none of her business.

Gong Guodong...

For a moment he was at a loss, but when he heard the splashing sound behind him, he quickly turned around and ran in the other direction.

Although he didn't know why Jiang Tang was in the mountains, he couldn't bring the bear that was chasing him to Jiang Tang's place.

"Xiao Jiang, are you alright?"

As soon as they emerged from the woods, Chen Yue came to greet them.

"I just heard a noise in the woods."
