On dark moon and windy nights, when killing and setting fires.

Qi Ning was not ready to set the fire, but was ready to kill someone.

He was not the only one who killed people. The warriors who accompanied them pretended to rest before, and some people deliberately lay down to show them to the five Han soldiers. These warriors were ready to kill people.

People follow the crowd. If everyone doesn't sleep for a long time, the Han soldiers will definitely not have any sleepiness. However, when everything calms down, everyone will fall asleep, and some even snores, it will be difficult for those Han soldiers to not sleep.

When Qi Ning entered the pass, although he handed over all the bows, arrows and swords, Cao Ying did not search everyone's body in the end.

The longbow of the big sword disappeared, but a small number of them still had daggers hidden on them.

Qi Ning's cold blade is hidden inside the boots, making it even harder to detect.

Just passing the ward, of course, this is not the purpose of Qi Ning personally.

Even if the road is smooth, what can these dozens of people really cross the Qinling Mountains?

What Qi Ning needs to do is to completely destroy the ward without leaving a single living mouth.

Duan Canghai commanded the elite troops of Chu in the rear of Qining, and set out only two days later than Qining. If the guard post could not be destroyed, the troops behind would naturally not be able to pass through Ziwu Road.

Before leaving, Qi Ning had made careful arrangements and waited until he led the team to Ziwu Road that Qi Ning told everyone of the detailed plan.

Although the warriors who accompanied the team were all brave soldiers, Qi Ning did not plan to attack the Han soldiers immediately as soon as they entered the checkpoint.

He knew that even if the Han soldiers believed that the team was a mission to Xianyang, they would not take it lightly. In fact, as he expected, after entering the pass, Cao Ying's group of guards did not relax their guard. If they had taken action at that time, even if they could kill all the dozens of people, they would definitely have harmed themselves. Moreover, they did not fully understand how many people the other party was at the checkout and whether there were any hidden soldiers. Naturally, they should not act rashly.

Now I have completely figured out the situation on the side of the checkpoint. I turned around while the night was in a state of mind and launched a sudden attack while the other party was not on guard. In this way, the damage on my side can of course be minimized.

Qi Ning touched the Han soldiers like a ghost and found that the four Han soldiers were already asleep. One of them turned over slightly and was not asleep yet. It was a coincidence that the soldier did not feel Qi Ning approaching secretly, but when he turned over, he half-squinted his eyes and saw a shadow approaching.

He was at the forefront and his vigilance was certainly not comparable to ordinary soldiers. Although he had not seen clearly what was going on, his first reaction was to reach out to grab the sword. As soon as one hand was stretched out, he felt a flash in front of him. Before he could think too much, his throat hurt and the sharp blade had already pierced into his throat.

It was naturally Qi Ning who took action.

Qi Ning's martial arts cultivation today can already compete with the best-ranked masters in Jianghushan. A mere soldier, if you talk about martial arts, is almost no different from an ant in Qi Ning's eyes.

The cold blade cuts iron like mud, and the spike is sharp and sharp. After it pierces into the throat, it is quickly pulled out. Blood spurts out from the blade. Qi Ning doesn't take a look. After pulling out the dagger, the blade tip slashes the side and instantly cuts the throat of another soldier lying on the ground.

This is not a competition, so of course Qi Ning won’t talk about the morality of the world.

Except for the first person, the five Han soldiers were noticed, and almost all the remaining four were cut off their throats in their sleep. Qi Ning started to do it with briskly, of course there would be no sympathy at this time.

After dealing with the five Han soldiers, Ji Jincai and others had already gotten up. He quickly walked towards the carriage, and the soldiers also surrounded the carriage. Ji Jincai went over and tore open the seal of a box, opened the lid, covered with a layer of yellow silk on it, lifted the yellow silk, but there was straw below. Ji Jincai said in a deep voice: "Everyone should take the weapons." He reached into the alley and took a big knife out of it.

The big knife has no scabbard, and the blade edge is extremely sharp.

Everyone was not talking nonsense, lined up to take out weapons from the alley, and straw was stuffed in the box. They were worried that when the carriage was bumpy, if there was no straw to cover it, the weapons would make a crisp sound when they collided, which would naturally cause the jammed soldiers to be alert.

In advance, Qi Ning had already realized that the Han soldiers would never allow the team to enter with weapons. It was natural to confiscate weapons, so he had thought about where to hide the weapons.

Of course, it is impossible to confirm whether the Han soldiers will search their bodies in advance. Even if they do not search, the big swords will never be able to hide in the mountains. For soldiers who deal with swords every day, it is easy to see whether others have knives.

Qi Ning also thought about hiding the weapons in the carriages where several women were riding, but that was not safe, and no one could guarantee that the Han soldiers would not check the carriages.

However, Ji Jincai finally suggested that the weapons be placed in the box and sealed them outside. After all, it is related to the relationship between the two countries. The Han soldiers may not really dare to force the box to open the box. If the Han soldiers insisted, they could turn around and use returning to the country as a threat. Ji Jincai judged that only a few defenders would not dare to cause the Chu delegation to revolt because of their own reasons. Qi Ning finally adopted Ji Jincai's opinion, and in fact, Ji Jincai's move did work.

"You all saw the guard tower where the checkpoint was." Qi Ning gathered everyone and whispered: "The first thing we need to solve in this operation is the guards on the watchtower, so as not to send out signals."

"Sir, the little one has observed carefully. There are torches on the watchtower. If it is during the day, it should be fireworks." A soldier over thirty years old next to him said: "In addition, in the north corner of the watchtower, there is a ox horn. If nothing unexpected happens, the ox horn is also used for communication. No one can see the ox horn when it is released at night, so they will definitely blew the ox horn to notify the next checkpoint."

Another person said, "Sir, I have seen the horned villain of the horn, and I have heard of it. Once you have enough strength to blow, the sound can spread far away."

"No," Qi Ning patted the man on the shoulder and said, "So we can't give them a chance to send signals." He asked, "Prince Ban said how many of you are good at archery skills, and who are you?"

The man who spoke before said: "Sir, the squad prefect sent the young man to come here to take on the task of shooting sentries. The archery technique cannot be said to be a hundred shots. However, before, the villain made an estimate that within two hundred steps, the villain was confident that he would shoot the sentry on the watchtower."

Qi Ning smiled and said, "So your archery technique is amazing. Yes, what's your name?"

"Little Man Qin Jian!" the man hurriedly said, "But it is not the arrow of the bow and arrow, but the sword of the long sword."

Qi Ning smiled and said, "This name is very murderous."

"The villain's father is a blacksmith." Qin Jian scratched his forehead and smiled silly: "On the day the villain was born, his father happened to cast an iron sword, so he named the villain Qin Jian."

The action was imminent. Although the soldiers fought bravely, they were still a little nervous. Hearing Qin Jian said this, everyone smiled at it, and the atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed.

"Who else is confident in their own archery skills?"

The soldiers looked at each other, remained silent, squeezed a person from behind, bowed to Qi Ning, "Sir, Lu Kang is willing to serve him."

Qi Ning looked at the man and smiled and said, "You will be foolproof."

Lu Kangqining recognized that when Qi Ning seized the position of commander of the Black Scale Camp and reorganized the Black Scale Camp, Duan Canghai immediately summoned the remnants of the Black Scale Camp. The Black Scale Camp fought bloody battles with the Xuelan Army under Beitangqing, and almost the entire army was killed in battle. Only dozens of people were left. These surviving warriors were also properly resettled by the court and assigned to serve as generals in various places. Duan Canghai summoned a letter and sent them to send them. The old subordinates of the Black Scale Camp immediately resigned and gathered together, following Duan Canghai and Zhao Wushang to rebuild the Black Scale Camp.

Lu Kang was already the captain of Changshui, and he resigned from his post and returned to the Black Scale Camp, and has been assisting Duan Canghai in training the soldiers of the Black Scale Camp.

This time Qi Ning came to Xichuan, Duan Canghai transferred 100 elite troops from the Black Scale Camp to accompany him, and Lu Kang was among them.

Qi Ning led the team to Ziwu Road, and led forty people under his command, half of which were local officers and soldiers selected by Ban Yun. These people had experience in mountain combat and were very brave, so they were incorporated into it. The other half were people from the Black Scale Camp. Those one hundred were the elites in the Black Scale Camp. Duan Canghai took into account the safety of Qi Ning, and the twenty people drawn from the one hundred were even the elites.

Lu Kang was an old subordinate of the Black Scale Camp. He fought countless bloody battles on the battlefield back then. Those who were able to be incorporated into the Black Scale Camp were all good at riding and shooting, and were good at swords and guns. Years have passed, although Lu Kang was nearly 40 years old, his skills have not been lost.

Lu Kang bowed and smiled at Qin Jian, "Brother Qin, there are two people on the watchtower. Then you and I will take action at the same time, one will solve one, and you will not give them any chance."

Qin Jian knew that Lu Kang was brought by Qi Ning from the capital, but he didn't know that Lu Kang was from the Black Scale Camp, nor did he know Lu Kang's past experience. But when he saw Lu Kang, he knew that this person was not simple, and he bowed and said, "Listen to your order." He knew that Lu Kang was from Qi Ning, and of course the soldiers in his place could not be compared with him, so he was very polite.

"Two, bows and arrows are hidden in another alley." Ji Jincai hurriedly said. He also knew that shooting tonight's action was related to success or failure. Since the mission was on these two people, he seemed quite polite to these two people.

When Qi Ning saw Ji Jincai holding the knife in his hand, he smiled and said, "Ji Lord Bo, you and a few girls are here. I will leave you two more people to protect you, and everyone else will follow me to get the checkpoint."

"Sir, although I am a civil servant, I am a little bit of swordsmanship in my daily life." Ji Jincai immediately said: "We only have so many people, one person has more power, and I am a humble job!"

Qi Ning smiled and said, "Each person does his own duties. Master Ji Bo should not misunderstand it. It's not that I look down on your martial arts, but that you pretend to be an envoy. The road behind is still long. If there is a little mistake and hurt, there will be some trouble behind it. We will raid tonight, and there is enough manpower, so don't worry."
