"Tsk, this Nie Liang is very rigid. ”

Jiang Pengji sent scouts to investigate the news several times, but there was almost no substantive gain, and many scouts were killed for revealing their identities.

You must know that Jiang Pengji's scouts are all well-trained elites, even if they are discovered by the enemy, they can turn around and flee as soon as possible. In this case, he could not escape, and it can only be said that Nie Liang's attitude was very tough and he refused to let go of an enemy scout.

Qi Guanrang shook the jade fan and said, "Judging from the news that the scouts have sent back one after another, Nie Liang has been preparing to do it in recent days. ”

Jiang Pengji raised her cheeks and said, "If he doesn't do it, we have to do it too, what's the difference?"

As he was talking, someone outside the tent was passing, and Jiang Pengji hurriedly let the other party in.

"What's the news this time?"

She shook off the cloth and looked at it with a glance.

The official asked with his eyes, and Jiang Pengji handed him the cloth and said, "Although this news is not from the front line, it also has a lot to do with the Nie family." A team of scouts found that there were more than 100 people and horses in the rear of the Nie clan approaching in the direction of Nie Ying, and their identities were mysterious. ”

When Jiang Pengji relayed it, the official asked her to read the content of the cloth word by word.

In order to prevent revealing their identities, scouts cannot get too close, and can only hide in the mountains and dense forests to observe carefully. Based on their extensive experience, they were able to get a rough idea of the size of the enemy through the horses' hooves, footprints, food residues, and campfires left behind by the enemy's travels.

It's a pity that because of the conditions, they couldn't figure out the identity of the enemy.

The official asked him to fold the cloth neatly and asked, "Does the lord have eyebrows in his heart?"

According to the news sent back by the scouts, this column of men and horses is not large, only more than 100 people, but each escort is a carefully cultivated unit of the warrior clan, not only has rich combat experience, but also has extremely strong reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance capabilities. If not, the scouts could have gotten closer.

This group is different from ordinary soldiers, and is essentially more like private soldiers.

Jiang Pengji also raised a lot of trilogies back then, and it became her original capital to conquer the world.

"Looking at the situation, this should be Nie's raise. The Nie clan sent more than 100 elite guards to the left and right, and I don't know who they were escorting. She said this, but there was a frown in her heart, "The scout said that there were two young men sitting in the carriage......

Qi Guan said, "This juncture is most likely Nie Liang's henchmen or direct relatives." ”

Jiang Pengji said with a smile, "No matter what your identity is, don't you know if you send someone to test the truth and truth?" In order to be safe, this column of people picks remote and clean country roads, even if they take a long detour for this, they are willing. It's a little bit more convenient for us to do—"

She has always been resolute in her work, and she sent more than 100 people to quietly bypass Nie Ying's eyes and ears at night, intending to intercept that group.

Because it is difficult to travel at night, even if Nie Qing and the others are in a hurry, they can only send someone to set aside a place to rest temporarily. Out of prudence, the vigil was carried out in shifts, with three groups of people keeping watch for three periods of time, as much as possible.

In order to lower the goal, Nie Qing and Nie Yang sat in the same carriage, and the two ate and lived together.

Nie Qing took great care of this cousin, and made all kinds of accommodations along the way, and the system was "soft-hearted".

[He treats you so well, will you be soft-hearted in the future?]

Nie Yang half-closed his eyes, in the dark night, he could barely see the silhouette of Nie Qing lying beside him, and his mood was extremely calm.

He sneered in his heart, [You have been with me for many years, but if you get in the way one day, I will not show mercy. 】

This also answers the questions of the system in disguise.

Without waiting for the system to answer, Nie Yang said lazily, [It's late at night, don't bother me. 】

System: [......]

It just said, as Nie Yang got bigger and bigger, his ambition swelled and he became more and more undisciplined, so he still dared to threaten it?

The system was on fire, but it couldn't turn his face with Nie Yang at this time, so he could only pinch his nose and endure it.

After about a quarter of an hour, the system that had returned to silence spoke again.

Nie Yang's face was a little stinky, and he finally brewed sleepiness, and was about to get better, but he didn't expect the noisy essence of the system to jump out and ruin the atmosphere. The system explained faintly, "It's not that I want to disturb your dreams, but there are enemy forces approaching two miles away. 】

Nie Yang woke up instantly, and all the sleeping insects were shocked.

He pretended to be awakened by a nightmare, his nose was agitated, his breathing was heavy, his forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and his eyes were filled with fear.

Nie Qing on the side fell asleep because he was worried about his father, and he was easily woken up by Nie Yang.

"Ah Yang, what happened?"

Nie Qing grabbed his coat and draped it over his shoulders, lit the fire and found that Nie Yang was shocked, and there was a deep horror in his expression.

He said, "Ah Yang, this is a nightmare?"

Nie Yang grabbed his wrist and said in a hoarse voice, "Brother, wake people up quickly, something is wrong!"

Nie Qing looked puzzled, he asked in surprise, "What happened?"

Nie Yang said quickly, "The little brother had a very real nightmare, he dreamed that there were dark shadows outside the carriage, the killing shouts were noisy, and there were people who broke into the car with knives, and the elder brother was accidentally slashed by a thief in order to protect the little brother, and the blood flowed ......."

Nie Qing said amusedly, "Isn't it good to be a brother, where is the enemy?"

Nie Yang moistened his dry lips with the tip of his tongue and said hoarsely, "This dream is really ominous, my brother would rather believe it or not." ”

Nie Qing pondered for a while, and out of love and concern for his cousin, he said, "Don't panic, for my brother, this will make people vigilant." ”

Nie Yang played the role of a frightened white rabbit on his face, but he asked the system in his heart, [How many people are here?]

The system speaks precise numbers.

[One hundred and twelve, it should be Liu Xi's ambush soldiers. 】

[More than 100 people? This is obviously prepared!Wait, no-] Nie's expression became more and more gloomy, and he said, [No matter how powerful Liu Xi's ears and eyes are, they can't be as powerful as you, right? Liu Xi's ears and eyes have found us, why didn't you give any warning along the way?]

Scouts are people, and they can use the terrain to hide their tracks, but the system is different.

Nie Yang had every reason to suspect that the system had discovered the enemy, but he deliberately concealed it.

Sure enough—

The system said, [It's just a few ants, this kind of small thing doesn't need to be reported to you, anyway, it didn't endanger your life.] 】

Nie Yang sneered and said, "Now it's a threat. 】

What would have been the result if the enemy had sent two or three hundred not one hundred and twelve people, with the advantage of a sneak attack?

The system also smiled and said, [Host, you are blessed with a lot of blessings, this time it is just a small disaster for you, and it will not threaten your life. 】

After Nie Yang heard this, bursts of anger surged in his heart, and his back molars squeaked.

Why couldn't he hear that the system was deliberately beating him and warning him?

Nie Yang sneered, [You can pray that you can save the day this time. 】
