Tang Yin led Yin Lan to track An Jun's whereabouts in the woods. Based on the traces and clues left by An Jun, he could judge that the main force of An Jun had withdrawn from the Chigou area, but a small number of troops were still left behind.
There should be no more than a thousand people.*.*
He didn't know what An Jun's purpose was in leaving these troops, but he could make a rough guess without thinking too hard. He probably wanted to ambush his side somewhere.
Tang Yin did not intend to track the main force of the An army that had withdrawn from Chigou. There was no point in tracking it. His target was the small-scale An army that stayed in Chigou.
This group of An army was very elite, perhaps they were very good at evading tracking. They left very few clues along the way. Only by careful observation and searching could we find the food residues, feces and other objects they buried underground.
Tang Yin and Yin Lan walked in the forest for another full day and night, and the forest gradually became dominated by maple trees. It is autumn now, and the maple leaves have turned orange. Looking around, the forest is golden, and the scenery
It's really charming.
Seeing such beautiful scenery, Yin Lan temporarily forgot about the fatigue of the journey. She said excitedly: "It's so beautiful, it feels like I'm back in my hometown!" In the mainland of Feng Country, maple trees are one of the most common trees.
Tang Yin smiled when he heard this and said casually while looking around: "If you feel homesick, wait until this war is over and go home to see you."
Yin Lan asked: "Will the king also go back?" After saying that, she immediately realized that what she said was nonsense. The capital had been moved to Zhenjiang, and of course the king would not return to Fengdi.
Unexpectedly, Tang Yin actually nodded and sighed: "I also want to go back to Fengdi to have a look!"
Yin Lan was surprised and happy, and said: "Then I can accompany the king back to Fengdi..."
Before she finished speaking, Tang Yin suddenly raised his hand to stop what she was about to say. Then he walked to a maple tree, squatted down, looked at it carefully for a long time, reached out and took off a small piece of bark and put it to his nose.
I smelled it carefully.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Yin Lan stepped forward quickly and asked curiously in a low voice.
"It's human urine. It hasn't been long yet. The soldiers we are tracking should be in this area." As he spoke, Tang Yin squinted his eyes and slowly looked around. After looking for a while, he said without looking back.
: "You stay here and wait for me, I'll be right back!"
After he finished speaking, a layer of black mist suddenly spread out around him, and then he disappeared.
"Big..." Yin Lan wanted to stop Tang Yin, but as soon as the words came out, Tang Yin was nowhere to be seen.
Tang Yin moved away quickly with a shadow, his figure appearing and disappearing in the woods, erratic, like a ghost or a whirlwind.
He ran forward for about two cups of tea, paused, and stopped on a tree branch. Then he looked at the grass not far in front of him.
The grass was very dense, and nothing else could be seen except weeds. Tang Yin squinted his eyes for a moment, slowly raised his hand, gently broke off a branch, and then flicked his wrist to throw the branch away.
Wow! The branches shot into the grass and made a slight sound. Almost at the same time, two figures suddenly emerged from the grass in front of him. Then, there were several more crisp sounds, and four crossbow arrows flew out at once.
, all shot into the grass behind Tang Yin.
After the two figures each fired two crossbow arrows, they walked over cautiously, holding the crossbow in one hand and the sword in the other.
"Did you see anyone?" "No! I just heard a noise!" "Me too!"
The two of them were talking, walking slowly under Tang Yin's feet, and cautiously came to the grass. They observed it quietly for a while, and then swept inside with the sword in their hands. They found nothing.
The talent breathed a sigh of relief.
They put away their swords, turned around and waved, saying: "There is no one, it's just a false alarm!"
"Damn it, I'm telling you, Feng Jun can't catch up here!" Following the words, three more people stood up in the grass in front of Tang Yin, all dressed as An Jun, just like the two people just now, they were both
Holding a crossbow in one hand and a sword in the other.
"The Lord Commander has already told us to be careful, we can't be careless!" The two people who came before hung the crossbow machine back on their belts and walked back.
When the two of them reached Tang Yin's feet again, he leaned back from squatting on the branch of the tree and fell straight backwards. His body turned over in the air. When he landed, he was standing right in front of the two security guards.
Behind the soldiers.
The three soldiers on the opposite side saw this clearly and were also startled. Before they could react, Tang Yin reached out with both hands and grabbed the backs of the necks of the two soldiers.
As his thoughts turned, the fire of darkness was born, and the two soldiers screamed strangely, and then their bodies went limp.
"Who..." The three security guards on the opposite side finally came to their senses, subconsciously raised their crossbows and pointed them at Tang Yin.
Before they could pull the trigger, Tang Yin had already disappeared in front of them. The three of them felt the cold air behind them. They turned their heads instinctively and were frightened to death. The enemy who was in front of them just now had now appeared in front of them.
behind oneself.
"Ah -" the three of them screamed in surprise, but soon stopped abruptly. Tang Yin's palms pressed on the faces of the two An soldiers respectively. The two men twitched violently, and then stopped.
Following in the footsteps of the two previous companions.
The last remaining An Bing turned pale and retreated continuously. His feet suddenly slipped and he was unable to stand steadily. He fell to the ground. Just as he was about to get up from the ground, Tang Yin rushed to him in an instant, and the two faced each other.
His face and nose tips were almost touching.
First he was stunned for a moment, then the security guard screamed as if he had seen a ghost, sat on the ground and rubbed his back repeatedly.
Tang Yin sneered, strode forward, and kicked An Bing on the cheek. The latter fell to the ground with a groan, rolled his eyes upward, and fainted on the spot.
He looked around, then dragged all four An Jun's corpses into the grass, then picked up the unconscious An Jun and walked back.
He knew very well that he brought these An Bing back to meet Yin Lan. After seeing Yin Lan, he threw An Bing to the ground, raised his head and said, "Wake him up, and then interrogate him!"
At that time, he sat cross-legged under the tree, closed his eyes, and began to meditate.
Yin Lan blinked her eyes. She had no idea what had happened. It was unbelievable that a soldier was captured not long after the king left.
However, seeing that Tang Yin didn't mean to say more, she didn't dare to ask any more questions. Looking at the unconscious An Bing, she pressed him hard. After a short time, the An Bing woke up slowly.
He first screamed and looked at Yin Lan with fearful eyes. Then, he turned over and got up from the ground, and saw Tang Yin who was sitting cross-legged and meditating not far away. His body went limp when he stood up, and he collapsed again with a plop.
Sit on the ground.
Obviously, An Bing was frightened by the king just now. Yin Lan laughed secretly, raised her palm, slapped An Bing hard on the face, and said coldly: "If you want to survive, just answer me obediently."
The problem!"
An Bing swallowed and looked at Yin Lan blankly. She frowned, pulled out her sword, put it on An Bing's neck, and asked in a deep voice: "Didn't you hear what I said?"
Feeling the tingling sensation in his neck, An Bing shivered, instinctively shrank back, and said urgently: "I heard it, I heard it, I heard it..."
"Hmph!" Yin Lan snorted coldly and said, "Tell me, how many of you are there? What do you want to do hiding in the woods?"
An Bing first looked at Yin Lan, then squinted at Tang Yin, rolled his eyes, and replied with a trembling voice: "We... we are..." Before he could finish his words, he pushed Yin with all his strength.
Lan, then jumped up from the ground, turned around and ran away.
He was faster, but not as fast as Yin Lan. A flash of light flashed in the latter's eyes, and he took three steps and merged into two steps. He chased An Bing behind him and kicked him in the back of the heart. There was a thump and An Bing jumped.
Falling to the ground, with dirt all over his face and mouth, Yin Lan thrust out his sword without mercy, hitting An Bing right in the ribs.
Pounce! The sword edge penetrated the armor and penetrated deeply into An Bing's body. The latter screamed like a slaughtering pig and screamed: "Girl, please spare your life, girl, please spare your life -"
Yin Lan's sword deliberately avoided the opponent's vital points. Although it hurt him, it could not save his life.
She coldly pulled out the sword from his body, shook off the blood beads on the sword, and said coldly: "You'd better be more honest. If you try to run away again, my next sword will stab you in the head."
On!"
"Yes, yes, yes! I don't dare anymore..." An Bing covered the wound under his ribs with both hands, his body shivering in pain.
Yin Lan sheathed her sword and at the same time took out a bottle of golden sore medicine from her arms and said: "Although your injury is not fatal, if it is not treated in time, it will still kill you due to excessive blood loss, so I said
"Whether you can survive or not depends on how quickly you answer the question. If you answer quickly, these golden sore medicines will not have time to stop your bleeding. If you answer slowly, you will have no choice but to go see the King of Hell." An Bing said hurriedly, his face turning pale with fright.
: "Save me, girl, please save me..."
"Tell me, how many of you are there and what is the purpose of staying in Chigou?"
"There are a thousand of us staying in Linhai... just to attack the Feng army passing by..." The An soldier didn't dare to play tricks anymore and answered quickly.
"Lin Hai?"
"This...this is called Lin Hai!"
"Oh!" Yin Lan nodded, then turned back and looked at Tang Yin sitting under the tree. Seeing that he didn't respond, she turned back and continued to ask: "How do you know that Feng Jun will definitely pass by Lin Hai?"
"There is only one way out of Chigou..."
"Are you planning to set fire to the forest?"
"Yes, the woods on both sides of the road have been oiled by us, and the autumn is dry. The vegetation sticks to the fire, and the fire spreads quickly. The commander said... as long as the wind army comes in, there will be no return...
