In the darkness, the nine guides went forward in three groups to explore. They knew that the hateful guy was hiding in the forest.
But this place is too big, no matter how many of them there are, they can only spread out and search.
"Why do we have to chase that guy?"
One of the guides lowered his voice and asked. He probably didn't understand why he was wasting his time on that inexplicable person when there were clearly more important things to do.
Just because of chasing this person, another group met unexpectedly and got into a fight. The losses for both sides were not small.
Among the nine people, the leader said in a low voice: "There is news that the real Xue Longxin was brought out by that guy."
"Find this person and capture the heart of the snow dragon, and Emperor Jade will have no cure."
The leader walked and talked, and at the same time looked around cautiously.
The night in the mountain forest seemed extremely dark. To be honest, they knew that there was no point in searching like this.
There is only one opponent who can hide flexibly. Even if he is hiding in a tall tree without making a sound, it is not that easy for them to find him.
"Captain, if we look for it this way, we won't find it at all, right?"
"After all, we are in Dongbo. People in Dongbo can't trust us. I think it's better to go back quickly."
"Shut up, everyone."
The team turned back and glared at them: "We have already arrived at Dongbo. If things don't work out, go back. You will also die."
Then everyone stopped talking.
Strange sounds came from time to time in the forest, and I didn't know whether they were birds or insects.
The nine people were divided into three groups and searched forward in a zigzag pattern.
Their standard configuration of a trio actually consists of two swordsmen and one person holding the Liren Wheel.
The two swordsmen are also responsible for controlling the enemy with long ropes, so that their companions from the human wheel can easily remove the heads.
I walked through the forest for more than an hour and found nothing.
So the nine people started to turn back according to the plan and met up with the large group of people at the agreed place.
After working hard in the middle of the night, everyone worked hard, but got nothing.
In an open space, these people from Loufan gathered, waiting for their leader to return.
Not long after, several people in brocade clothes came over and just gave the order to take turns to rest for two hours, and then left again.
These nine people belonged to the same team, and they slept together. They were really tired from running around continuously, and they only had two hours to rest, so no one said much, so they took the time to sleep.
In the early morning, when the sky was slightly bright and whistles sounded, everyone immediately opened their eyes.
There were three people in groups and nine people in one team. After getting up, the teams of each team began to count the number of people, and the whole team prepared to continue tracking the beauty.
But when the nine-man team woke up, they found that one of their companions was missing for no apparent reason.
The team leader walked up to the two people: "Where's your team rate!"
Those two were swordsmen, and the group leader was the one who used the Liren Wheel. The two of them looked at each other with half-frightened and half-bewildered faces.
"I slept here last night."
One of the knife fingers pointed at a place not far away from him. There were still traces of sleeping there, and the grass was pressed down.
The team leader walked to that place and took a look. He found a paper ball in the grass. He reached out and picked it up and looked at it. It turned out to be a bank note for their Lou Fan.
On the other side of the bank note, there were a few words written in blood... Thank you for protecting me and letting me sleep peacefully.
Not long after, the written banknote was delivered to their leader.
This is a young man who looks to be in his mid-twenties. He is dressed in brocade clothes and has a handsome appearance. There are no sharp edges on his face, but there is no feminine air.
He is Lou Fan's deputy seat on the stage, Helian Youge.
One of the generals who led the troops south to fight against Dayu was from the Helian family.
Helian Youge took the banknote and looked at it, but there was no change in his expression. It seemed that such a provocation was not worth his anger. People who know him well know that whether the deputy is angry or not, happy or unhappy, it doesn't matter.
It's expressionless.
Helian Youge asked: "Which two people are in the same group?"
The two guides immediately stepped forward and knelt down at the same time, not even daring to defend themselves.
"Kill yourself."
Helian Youge only said two words, then turned around and left, and a group of people quickly followed him.
The two guides looked at each other, then silently took out the dagger, pointed it at their own hearts, pressed the handle of the knife hard with both hands.
Two corpses were dumped here, and no one cared at all.
Half an hour later, Helian Youge and the others arrived at the place they had searched last night and found a body behind a tree.
It was the leader of the trio. It looked like the body had been strangled to death, and he probably didn't even make a sound before he died.
"Do you have any information about that beauty?"
Helian Youge asked.
The men all shook their heads.
Helian Youge said: "Then go and get it. You can't lose all your face on the stage here."
When he asked for it, he naturally asked for it from the person who let them in.
They are not spies lurking in Dongbo. They were invited to enter Dongbo, and their target is Snow Dragon Heart.
Helian Youge stood next to the tree, looking around, and finally his eyes rested on a branch.
He flew up and down lightly, and when he landed on a tree branch, the branch, which was only as thick as his forearm, did not even bend down.
There were traces of being stepped on on the branches. It was obvious that the beauty was hiding here last night.
After killing one of their companions quietly, he could also change into the escort's clothes, cover his head with a gauze, and sneak into the escort's team.
He was not noticed the whole time.
"Who is the leader of the nine-man team that came here last night?"
Helian Youge asked after he fell down.
The pale-faced team member hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down with a plop: "Sir, this is a humble position."
Helian Youge glanced at him: "It's not easy to train a team leader at the stage. If I don't kill you now, you know when to die."
The team was kowtowing: "I know that if I find that beauty, I will be the first to go up."
Helian Youge nodded: "If you die in battle, I will provide a pension to your family after I return."
The people around him were silent, not even daring to breathe louder.
They spent the whole day in the woods and found several traces of people coming, but these were of little use.
"grown ups."
A brigade leader stepped forward, leaned over and said, "Has this beauty escaped?"
Helian Youge raised his head and looked at the sky.
"He won't run away, he's playing tricks on us."
Helian Youge turned around and said, "Go back and rest. There is no need to search anymore at night."
The team once again returned to the place where they camped last night. When they were still a few feet away, Helian Youge raised his hand.
The team behind him immediately dispersed, and then formed a group of three to surround the camp.
When I got closer, I saw that the dozen or so escorts who had been staying here were all dead, and their bodies were arranged neatly together.
"Drag it to an open space and burn it directly."
Helian Youge waved his hand.
"That beauty knows how to use poison. Don't touch the corpse."
His men immediately obeyed the order, and several guides came forward and turned the corpses over with wooden sticks. After one of the corpses was turned over, there was a bang and a cloud of smoke dispersed.
Several people nearby were unable to dodge. Some people inhaled the smoke and started wailing after a moment, as if they were being burned by invisible flames.
Several more people died.
"grown ups."
A Jinyi brigade leader leaned over and said: "There were no military badges on the corpses before. They must have been taken away by the beautiful woman. The military badges on these people were probably also taken away." Helian Youge said
: "He wants to be a hunter. The military badge is proof of how much he hunts. He goes back to report his service."
After a while, Helian Youge said: "If he is arrogant enough, he will come again tonight."
Lin Ye was sitting on a high slope about four or five miles away from here, watching with the captured clairvoyance.
There were many mountains and forests, but the place where the Loufan people were stationed was an open space, so he could see clearly when those people returned.
Lin Ye put down his clairvoyance and looked down at the dozen military cards he placed beside him.
Helian Youge was right, he needed to bring some evidence back. He never wanted to be an unknown hero.
He will take what is his due.
At this moment, there was sudden movement in the woods on both sides, followed by a muffled sound, a wailing sound from the trap set by Lin Ye, and a cloud of smoke rising up.
He put away his military cards, turned around and plundered out.
After a while, Gong Shanshu led people to find here, on that high slope, a clairvoyant who Lin Ye deliberately left behind.
Next to the clairvoyance, there was also a pattern drawn. Gong Shanshu looked at it and saw that the pattern was a hand with only one finger pointing forward.
He was silent for a moment, without picking up the clairvoyance left by Lin Ye, and looked in that direction with his own.
Then his face changed.
A group of people are coming here at an extremely fast speed. They must have noticed the smoke just now.
"Walk."
Gong Shanshu immediately gave the order.
If he doesn't leave, he will get into an inexplicable fight with people of unknown origin.
They had fought before, and those people's ruthless tactics and tacit cooperation caused Gong Shanshu to lose nearly half of his men.
At this time, the anger in Gong Shanshu's heart was so intense that he almost burst into tears.
Lin Ye!
In the distance, on the cliff, Lin Ye was lying in the grass and watching. The distance was not very far, and he could even see Gong Shanshu's gnashing teeth expression clearly.
The terrain and forest leaves here have been checked, and there is only room for one person to climb on the cliff. There are still weeds growing on the edge. Looking from the bottom up, he cannot be seen at all.
This is where he will rest tonight, and he doesn't intend to tire himself out.
At the same time, it was dozens of miles away from here, on the path approaching Beiting Mountain.
A group of people also stopped. It was dark and the road was dangerous, and they could no longer take the risk.
Xue Linyuan got off the horse and glanced at the man behind him: "Your Highness, you can rest for a while."
Yu Yucheng hurriedly dismounted, obviously very tired, but he just held on and did not say anything.
At this time, he already felt like he was living under someone else's roof, so he didn't dare to say that he was working hard.
Mr. Tianji saw this and stepped forward to help him. Yu Yucheng hurriedly thanked him.
"How far do we have to go to Dayu?"
Yu Yucheng asked hurriedly.
Xue Linyuan said: "There are still dozens of miles. We can reach the border before noon tomorrow."
Yu Yucheng nodded hurriedly, but he was still a little nervous. If he didn't fall in love with Dayu for a while, he wouldn't be able to feel at ease.
"That... that General Lin, will he be okay?"
Yu Yucheng hurriedly asked again.
Because of these words, Xue Linyuan felt a little more fond of Prince Dongbo.
"He'll be fine."
Xue Linyuan replied.
Before coming, he was really worried that something might happen to an inexperienced person like Lin Ye.
But then he realized that compared to Lin Ye, they seemed to be the inexperienced people.
That guy is a hunter by nature.
"if......"
Yu Yucheng hurriedly looked at Xue Linyuan: "If General Lin returns to the border safely, can he escort me to Geling?"
Xue Linyuan turned around when he heard this: "When you enter the border pass, tell the general yourself."
