Yu Xian thought for a while, now was not the time to be reckless.
In front of a large group of elite soldiers and horses, unless you are a strong general who practices physical skills, you will not be able to get any advantage.
Yu Xian whispered to Feng Ming, "Let your ghosts lure the people away. Let's hide for a while. When Dong Bai's troops approach, we can take advantage of the chaos to attack Li Ru."
"This... is of no use, right?"
Feng Ming was worried.
After calling out the mourning ghost, the little ghost shrank and kept hiding from Feng Ming.
Yu Xian comforted him, "It doesn't matter. It won't make them too vigilant if it doesn't happen. Otherwise, we will be in trouble."
After Feng Ming heard this, he reluctantly drove the kid to go somewhere else to make some noise.
Li Jue whimpered when he heard the crying sound. He had lost the power to confuse people's hearts before. As expected, he smiled proudly and said, "I don't know where this guy came from. He didn't know the heights of the world to provoke my Flying Bear Army."
After saying this, he ordered his surroundings, "Tell the troops not to be suspicious. He is just an incompetent disciple of the Witch Ghost Sect. Let Zhang Xiu step up the search, and everyone else should go back to their tents to rest. Don't give that little thief a chance to fish in troubled waters."
Li Jue gave the order and the Flying Bear Army quickly began to take action.
The soldiers of the brigade returned to their tents in an orderly manner.
The military lord who commanded them, Dub, ran back and forth in the camp, inspecting tents one by one, watching out for any new faces.
After confirmation, the soldiers in the tent were allowed to disarm and begin to rest.
Zhang Xiu then led a small group of Xiliang soldiers onto their horses, galloping through the empty camp while watching the movement around them eagerly.
Such rigorous and cautious investigation may be effective for others, but it plays into Yu Xian's hands.
Although Yu Xian's method of swallowing smoke and blowing out mist is convenient for hiding in the night, it can still be discovered if the distance is too close.
Such a chaotic situation made it easy for someone to break into it accidentally. Now that the camp was empty, Yu Xian blended into the night with thick smoke and black mist, which gave him a lot of room to move around.
Feng Ming tossed about for a while and then slowly fell silent.
Li Jue was not sure whether he had forced the Wugui Sect disciple away, or whether the thief had lurked somewhere unknown.
However, it's not a big deal if you think about it.
Li Jue ordered Zhang Xiu to be on tight alert and went back to his tent to rest.
But after experiencing such an event, many soldiers had doubts, and besides, someone was indeed dead? And the hidden dangers had not been eliminated? Many people did not fall asleep one after another until late at night.
Sometimes it was quiet in the camp, and sometimes the sound of horse hooves could be heard.
Although there was no trace of the disciple of the Witch Ghost Sect, Zhang Xiu still seemed to be the most patient hunter, leading a small group of cavalry to cruise through the large campsites calmly.
Unknowingly? The crescent moon is half-tilted, and the time has dragged on to the latter half of the night.
Although Zhang Xiu had no results, Yu Xian and the three disciples from Baishi Mountain had to constantly change positions to avoid Zhang Xiu's pursuit, and they gradually became tired.
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded outside the camp, but it only rang a few times and stopped moving again.
Zhang Xiu looked up warily and said to his soldiers, "Follow me!"
After a while, the camp gate opened wide. Zhang Xiu led a small group of cavalry and rushed into the thick night.
Not far to go? The strong smell of blood in the cold wind could no longer be concealed.
Zhang Xiu calmly took off the iron spear from the horse hook bag and dispersed his cavalry. Then he slowly followed the direction from which the smell of blood came.
Not long after walking, I saw a horseman lying dead on the roadside from a distance.
An arrow from the horse's head pierced the eye and penetrated the skull.
The knight next to him had his head completely cut off, and a lot of blood splattered on the ground beside him.
Look at the knight's attire, they are the scouts scattered around in their camp on guard!
--this!
As soon as he realized something was wrong, Hu Che'er, a strongman beside Zhang Xiu, suddenly rode forward and protected Zhang Xiu behind him. His eyes were as wide as copper bells as he glanced around.
Zhang Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly.
The enemy's main force was probably not far away, so after killing the scouts, he acted brazenly without covering up.
Zhang Xiu patted Hu Che'er on the shoulder with an iron gun and said in a deep voice, "Let's go!"
Not far away, several possible enemies flashed through Zhang Xiu's mind. Suddenly, his heart moved, and he ordered Hu Che'er, "Let's go see uncle first."
Zhang Xiu bypassed the main camp, and after a short while, he saw a camp next to the main camp. This camp was not affected by the commotion of the main camp at all. It was still like a sleeping beast, quiet but exuding a dangerous atmosphere.
Before Zhang Xiu got close, a patrolling military commander came over to confirm his identity.
Zhang Ji had no son, so he treated his nephew as if he were his own flesh and blood. Zhang Xiu also had a detached status in Zhang Ji's camp.
When the visitor saw that it was Zhang Xiu, he quickly opened the camp gate and welcomed the cavalry into the camp.
Zhang Ji was already asleep. Hearing that Zhang Xiu asked for a meeting late at night, he knew that something was unusual, so he quickly crawled out of Zou's warm bed to meet him.
Zhang Ji came out with his clothes on. When he saw Zhang Xiu, he asked, "If you don't work for Li Jue, why are you looking for me in the middle of the night?"
Zhang Xiu quickly explained the previous matter in this way.
After hearing this, Zhang Ji knew that the matter was not trivial. He frowned and asked, "In that case, you should repay Li Jue as soon as possible."
Zhang Xiu's eyes flashed and he asked in a low voice, "Uncle, you've heard about that thing in the past few days, right? Do you think it could be her?"
Zhang Ji's eyes immediately became solemn, he looked at Zhang Xiu and asked, "What about her?"
After finishing speaking, he paused and sighed again, "Go repay Li Jue."
Zhang Xiu took a step forward and said in a deep voice, "Uncle is confused. Now that we Xiliang people have turned against the imperial court, we have gained almost nothing except the empty title of Liangzhou Mu."
"Han Sui pretended to unite with us. All he wanted was to get us Xiliang people to get out of the way and let him enter the pass."
"Then Han Sui is just a dog of the Qiang people, with a capricious personality. Although he has some bad relations with the Qiang people for the time being, if he suffers a loss from the court, sooner or later he will flee back to the northwest with his tail between his legs."
"At that time, Han Sui and the Qiang soldiers will attack us from both inside and outside, and we will lose the support of the imperial court. The hundreds of thousands of Xiliang elders will have no place to bury their bones."
Zhang Ji's face darkened when Zhang Xiu said that.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Xiu expressed his judgment without hesitation, "Nowadays, we Xiliang people must clench into a fist."
Zhang Ji somewhat understood what Zhang Xiu meant, "Do you count on her?"
A smile appeared on Zhang Xiu's face. In front of his uncle, he made no secret of his ambition, "No, I count on myself. That person is easier to deal with than Li Ru."
"You." Zhang Ji shook his head and said without any doubt, "Go tell Li Jue."
"Uncle!" Zhang Xiu wanted to say something more, but Zhang Ji waved him away impatiently.
Watching Zhang Xiu leave, Zhang Ji watched for a long time before going back to rest.
As soon as the cold body entered the bed, the beautiful and passionate woman entangled him with warmth and tenderness.
A soft murmur also sounded in my ears, "What's wrong?"
Zhang Ji closed his eyes and felt the groping of the little hands, and said helplessly, "Children today always feel that they are the smartest ones."
