Fifty people immediately dispersed to guard the surroundings, while the others collectively became porters.
Whether it's beef or mutton jerky, the sun has long since exposed a thick layer of grease. It's greasy, slippery and creepy when carried on the body.
However, no one disliked it at this time. On the contrary, all the guards of Duke Zhen were all smiling, and they all grabbed a big piece of dried meat and threw it on their backs, then turned around and ran away.
Lei Er chuckled.
He took out a bag of dark green powder from his pocket, casually pulled half of a cow off the frame next to him, grabbed the powder and smeared it vigorously.
After a while, the whole piece of beef changed color. Not only did it look ferocious, it also smelled extremely fishy.
Ah!
Ah!
Lei Er sneezed twice hard.
After rubbing his nose, he continued to cook a few more pieces of dried meat with a smile on his face.
After finally waiting for him to finish all this, Zhenguo Gong's guards had already pulled over a dozen corpses of Xiliang people and placed them beside them, arranged to look like they had died of poisoning.
"withdraw!"
Although he shouted to withdraw, Lei Er not only did not leave but stayed. He continued to crawl around in the logistics vehicle frame, bending down to work from time to time, and he didn't know what he was messing with.
Huang Ming carried a whole sheep on his back, stuffed a piece of dried meat into his mouth, and was chewing it deliciously.
He turned around and took a thoughtful look, feeling admiration for Ren Ning and Lei Er in his heart.
As expected of the Xingluo Legion that instantly defeated Nanfeng and wiped out the country, entering and exiting the enemy camp was like entering an uninhabited land. It was like when he led his troops to sneak attack before, he could not get even half a step closer to the Xiliang camp.
Self-deprecating, Huang Ming continued to retreat up the mountain with the guards of Zhen Guo Gong without stopping.
Talk about long time, real time is short.
The group of people went from sneaking down the mountain to running back with the dried meat on their backs. In fact, it only took three or two cups of tea, and they didn't alert anyone at all.
Even the whole trapped dragon's nest was quiet from beginning to end, not even the barking of dogs was heard.
Not only Huang Ming, but also the little bodyguard sent by Thunder Dragon were both surprised and happy.
Carrying half a head of slippery mutton on his back, he was almost halfway back to the mountainside, panting, but his expression was still a little dazed.
The little guard paused for a moment.
This makes no sense!
In the past, when the Dingxi people came over for a sneak attack, they would not only be discovered by the hidden stakes of the Xiliang people, but also might be noticed by the hunting dogs in the camp.
Xiliang people's hunting dogs have been good at herding since they were young. Each of them runs very fast and is extremely vigilant.
Often if there is any movement on the mountain, they will come over to take a look. If something goes wrong, they will bark loudly. It will not take long to wake up the Xiliang people in the camp.
As a result, their actions usually come to nothing.
The little guard was a little confused and couldn't help but listen attentively.
There is silence below. Could it be that the Xiliang people’s dogs all fell asleep tonight?
Although I can't figure it out, no matter what the reason is, it is always a good thing for them.
"General," Huang Ming's smile never stopped as he found Ren Ning, "The brothers have all returned with full loads, but Lei Er did not follow."
Ren Ning nodded, he had already seen it clearly through the telescope.
"Don't worry. Lei Er still has some things to do, and he will catch up later. It's almost dawn now, let's go back first."
Huang Ming's face tightened, and he subconsciously looked up at the morning star in the sky.
He did not dare to say any more and hurriedly headed west with his team.
After more than half an hour, the team was about to return to the mountains and forests to the west.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as they climbed over the hill in front of them and scanned the traces on the road, they would be completely safe.
at this time,
Woof woof!
The hound, which had been quiet all night, seemed to have just woken up, and finally began to bark. Even the voice was full of anger.
When the hunting dogs barked, countless horses, cattle, and sheep also began to make a noise.
Bah baa baa, moo moo, baa baa baa.
Not long after, the entire trapped dragon's nest woke up, and there was a lot of noise everywhere. You could even hear the faint angry shouts of Xiliang people.
Oops!
Has it been discovered?
The guards of the Zhenguo Palace became nervous and subconsciously wanted to throw away the dried meat on their backs and prepare to pick up weapons to fight.
"Don't worry." Ren Ning chuckled, "This is Lei Er causing trouble for the people of Xiliang. Everyone can go on their way without worries."
The news spread quickly.
Everyone was stunned and quickly raised their ears to listen carefully to what was going on below.
Sure enough, although various sounds were heard throughout the trapped dragon's nest, there was still no sign of them spreading towards the Xishan Mountain where they were.
Everyone felt at ease and their steps became steady again. Although there were no roads on the mountain and there were many trees, the team moved forward a little faster.
It didn’t take long,
Wow...
Suddenly, a brilliant light shines in front of my eyes.
Huang Ming's heart tightened again, and he subconsciously turned his head and glanced down.
Suddenly his eyes lit up.
The Xiliang people's military camp caught fire.
And there was more than one place. The east of the entire camp, where they moved the meat, was lit with fire everywhere, and it was hard to count them all at once.
There is usually almost no wind in spring west of Luoxia Mountain, but at this time there is countless grease and fodder for livestock in the trapped dragon's nest.
These are all flammable materials.
Once it encounters an open flame, it will burst into flames in a short while, and then it will quickly ignite into a fire, and it will be too late to pounce.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the east side of Trapped Dragon's Nest was already ablaze.
"Well cooked." If Huang Ming hadn't carried a large piece of dried meat on his back, he would have wanted to use his hands to applaud.
Although it was a pity that the dried meat was burned, he felt even more happy at this time.
They all came here to fight. God cannot favor one over the other. If we want to be hungry, everyone will be hungry together.
Yamashita
When the hunting dogs started barking collectively, the big tent in the middle also lit up.
The disheveled Xue Yue Ying Xiang hurried out of the tent.
While tying his clothes, he looked eastward, and soon his face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.
"What happened?" he asked suppressing his anger.
"Young Patriarch, the circumstances of the sudden incident are temporarily unknown. My subordinates have sent people to check, but there is no news back yet."
"But it seems that the fire started accidentally when the gang leaders got up to prepare breakfast." The guard added.
snort!
Yingxiang snorted and ignored this.
He raised his eyes and looked at the quiet mountains not far away: "Have any news been sent back from the sentry posts on the surrounding mountains?"
Several guards looked at each other and shook their heads in unison: "No."
"A bunch of idiots." Ying Xiang was furious: "No news is the biggest news."
call!
He took the long knife behind him and pointed hard at the western mountain in front: "Quick! Gather the troops immediately to block this mountain."
Regardless of whether the enemy caused the fire or not, the Western Mountain in front of them is the only way for Yunchui people to get back to the dense forest in the east.
As long as Xishan is blocked, the truth will be revealed sooner or later.
"Yes!" Although the guards were dubious, they still hurriedly accepted the order and left.
Not long after, thousands of Xiliang warriors hurriedly formed a team and marched straight to the Western Mountains.
Ren Ning could clearly see the movement at the foot of the mountain, and his expression became more serious.
"Huang Ming, the leader below responded well. Is he from that tribe in Xiliang?"
"Blood Moon Tribe." Huang Ming thought that Ren Ning had been in Guangxin County in the south and didn't know the specific situation, so he quickly introduced it in detail.
"Xueyue is the vanguard force of Xiliang's eastward invasion. The large force led by its clan leader is still stationed in the distant Benlu tribe. The men and horses in the trapped dragon's nest are only a small part of what their young clan leader brought here."
Ren Ning nodded.
He is worthy of being the main force in Xiliang's vanguard, and his response is indeed astute. It seems that there is no reason why he was entrusted with such an important task by the Prairie King.
Although Yingxiang was young, his reaction was timely enough. He grasped the key points immediately. If Ren Ning and the others had walked slower, they might have been blocked on the way back.
But at this time, the meat-stealing party has already reached the top of Xishan Mountain and can disappear near the trapped dragon's nest at any time.
The people of Xiliang wanted to block it, but it was too late.
