After a day's journey, everyone was tired and exhausted. Tai Shiwu and Guan Zhen Gu Xueqiao met and decided to camp for the day and rush back to the Baiyue King's City early tomorrow morning.
Different from other search teams, the team led by Guan Zhen and Gu Xueqiao were all selected from the army and had rich experience in surviving in the wild and setting up camps.
After a group of people explored the terrain, they chose to camp next to a creek. The forty people quickly divided the work. Those who set up tents set up tents, some set up defenses to resist horses, and some fetched water. Everything was in order, and finally Guanzhen made arrangements.
A team of six people was formed, with three open sentries and three hidden sentries.
Zhuo Kui and other five people from the Iron Blood Camp of Baiyue Kingdom were somewhat dissatisfied with this arrangement.
"This is the outskirts of the royal city, under the emperor's feet, but you have come up with the tactics of setting up a field army, which is really a bit of a fuss." Zhuo Kui said, "If you just simply set up camp, arranging a few sentry posts is enough, and you can save a lot.
time."
Gu Xueqiao and Guan Zhen shook their heads at the same time, "No matter what, camping outside is tantamount to exposing one's own strength to the outermost layer without city defense. If a defense circle is not carefully set up, once someone attacks,
We, dozens of people, all have to explain here."
Zhuo Kui smiled helplessly, "This is the Kingdom of Baiyue, and the five of us are the Baiyue officers and soldiers. Who would go deep into the vicinity of the Baiyue King's City just to raid our small team of only a few dozen people."
"
"No matter what, it's always right to be careful."
Gu Xueqiao's inadvertent words saved the team.
Night fell quickly, and it was already late autumn. The evening breeze was cool and sizzling, and everyone lit several bonfires in various tents, which added a touch of warmth to the deserted autumn night.
The soldiers captured several hares, pheasants, and even a quite small wild boar. The prey were turned back and forth on the campfire, and bursts of meaty aroma came out.
However, everyone did not sit around the campfire singing and laughing like an ordinary team. Except for Tai Shiwu, Gu Xueqiao, Guan Zhen and Lan Qian, plus the five Zhuo Kui brothers from the Iron Blood Camp of Baiyue Kingdom, the rest
They all took their respective positions, completely following the wartime defensive formation. In addition to the light and dark sentry posts on the periphery, a mobile patrol team of six people was even added.
Other than that, the rest of the people were quietly gathering strength in the tent.
Everyone enjoyed this dinner very much. Only Taishi Wu and Lan Qian were deep in thought, and they only tasted the delicious game.
"Eat more." Gu Xueqiao pulled off a bloodshot rabbit leg and handed it to Tai Shiwu, "This is just a temporary separation. With the Lord here, I will definitely not let that little brat from the Meng family marry
Let’s go to Lan Qian.”
Taishi Wu forced out a smile and handed the rabbit legs to Lan Qian, "Qian'er, it's cold at night, but you won't feel cold after you eat."
Lan Qian shook her head, "I can't eat it."
Guan Zhen picked up the wine bag and took a few sips of the strong wine in the wine bag. "Okay, it doesn't matter if you don't eat. Drink some of our Liao antler wine to make sure your whole body is warm."
At this time, Taishi Wu was just trying to drown his sorrows with wine. Without even thinking about it, he took the bag and downed the wine in one gulp, almost vomiting it out.
Seeing Taishi Wu's embarrassed appearance, Lan Qian looked worried and asked, "How are you, Taishi Wu?"
