Lin Wan hugged Hongfan's horse's neck, pointed to the dense forest on the left in his ear, and coaxed in a low voice: "Hongfan obediently, you take these new friends of yours to go around the woods a few more times, and then return the same way, go back quickly, I'll wait for you here, okay?"

Hongfan didn't know if he understood, so he tilted his horse's head and let out a low neigh. Then, Lin Wan patted its horse's buttocks, and it took the lead in running to the left.

Kapok, Ximen Yuqing, Changfeng, Ning Wuwu and others also patted their mounts and motioned for them to follow Hongfan. Several people's mounts are also trained, and such simple orders can still be carried out according to orders.

After they left, Lin Wan and Lin Ruichen took out the drawings to study and decided to divide the soldiers into two ways. Lin Ruichen led a team of people to complete the task first, and Lin Wan, Ximen Yuqing and the others were slightly behind, which was not only convenient for creating an illusion for the people who were following behind, but also to avoid everyone from straying into the assassin's ambush together. In order to hide the strength and rescue in time.

Soon, after a few large circles in the dense forest on the left with a few companions, Red Sail returned the same way. Since they are not manned, they are very fast, and their footprints are not too deep, making it difficult to figure out whether they are true or false.

Because the light was too dim and the imprint was too shallow, Zhou Tianhong, Lan Ziyue and the others could never have imagined that these horses could go around the woods by themselves without being driven, and then return the same way. Therefore, I did not find that among the deep and shallow horseshoe prints on the ground, some were stepped on several times, some went to the woods, and some returned.

However, when Zhou Tianhong and the others came back, they carefully studied the horseshoe prints on the ground again, found clues, and guessed a rough idea. I knew that the footprints didn't disappear suddenly, but that after a few turns, they returned the way they came.

Lin Ruichen and Feng Zhigang took the brothers of the southern suburbs battalion and the Yulin Army up the mountain first, and according to the plan, when they walked to the fork in front, they wrapped all the horses' hooves in thick cotton cloth, so that the horseshoe prints suddenly disappeared again.

And Lin Wan, Ning Wuwu, Kapok, Qingtong, Ximen Yuqing, Jin Haoran and others also wrapped cotton cloth on the horseshoe, like playing in the mountains and rivers, walking slowly, chatting while walking, and secretly observing the surrounding movements.

Ever since he entered the woods, Lin Wan always felt that someone was staring at him in the dark, and that feeling was far and near, difficult to capture. When they were wary and looked closely, the feeling suddenly disappeared again.

Lin Wan thought at first that it was the sentry arranged by Zhou Changan on this mountain, but Feng Zhigang said that all the sentry posts on this mountain were people from the Yulin Army, and he knew the distribution map and manpower arrangement well. Only in the first round of the competition was the route to the cliff was covered with dark lines, and only patrols were arranged in other places. If someone from the patrol had come, he would never have been so sneaky when he saw him here, and he would definitely show up.

So, Lin Wan immediately decided to let Changfeng, Gale and Jiang Hai hide in the shadows, hoping to find some clues. It would be nice if you could catch one or two imps, and maybe you could discover some big secrets.

Lin Wan always felt that Zhou Chang'an's arrangement was purposeful, first of all, judging from the format of the finals, the first round was obviously biased towards Liu Shikui, and Liu Shikui was not the first time to participate in the hunting ceremony, and as Zhou Chang'an's henchman, he was obviously very familiar with the terrain of Cliff Mountain. Even if Lin Ruichen and Feng Zhigang did not encounter a sneak attack in the first round, it was impossible for them to come back faster than Liu Shikui.

However, the second round of the competition is won by the accuracy and speed of archery, which is obviously biased towards young people, whether Lin Ruichen or Feng Zhigang wins, they can achieve Zhou Changan's goal. And his purpose was the two test papers he had already prepared, and he wanted Liu Shikui and the winner of the second round to take people up the cliff mountain to help him find something.

Perhaps, Lin Ruichen's sneak attack was unexpected by Zhou Changan, or it may be completely unexpected. However, no matter who the person behind the curtain is, Lin Wan will never give up. Lin Wan didn't know what the other party's purpose was, but she knew that the other party wanted Lin Ruichen's life, which she absolutely couldn't tolerate.

The section of the road near the top of the cliff mountain is impassable by horseback, and without good light skills, it is impossible to go up at all.

Lin Wan and the others hid their horses in the dense forest that was not easy to find, and then advanced on foot, and when they encountered a place where they needed to use light work, Ning Wuwu took Lin Wan with him. The six of them followed the directions on the map, and soon came to the woods where the beast was said to be infested.

The woods were pitch black, as if they had suddenly entered a cold winter night, and the gloomy atmosphere was pressing. Lin Wan took out the night pearl to illuminate, but he could only see the scenery within five steps, and the shadows in the distance were even more eerie.

Soon after entering the woods, a long, small voice of gale was heard in my ears: "Miss, there are people approaching us in front, the light is too dim for my subordinates to see where they are, but I feel that they are numerous, at least a hundred. ”

Lin Wan slowed down and continued to move forward, pretending that he hadn't found anything.

The sound of the gale sounded again: "Miss, they have stopped, as if waiting for us in front, just twenty feet ahead of us. ”

Lin Wan nodded slightly, and suddenly bent down, as if he had tripped over something, and let out an exclamation of "sigh". Then the light dimmed, and it was obvious that there was some subtle sound coming from the opposite side.

Gale continued, "Miss, at first they thought they had been discovered, and they were ready to act. Later, I realized that you were just tripping, so I chose to wait and see. ”

Lin Wan whispered to Qingtong and Ning Wuwu by bending over: "Wait a while, I will put away the Night Pearl, and everyone will leave here together and hide in the trees." I followed Sister Sanssouci and the others were careful. ”

Ning Wuwu nodded, put his hand around Lin Wan's waist, and was ready to perform light skills at any time.

And Qingtong quietly conveyed Lin Wan's words to Kapok, Ximen Yuqing and Jin Haoran. Qingtong and Kapok are together, Ximen Yuqing and Jin Haoran are together, and they automatically form a group of two and take care of each other.

Lin Wan slowly stood up, nodded to Ning Wuwu, and then suddenly put the Night Pearl into his sleeve pocket. At the same time, she had already left the place, only to feel that she had changed several directions in an instant, hiding in a tall ginkgo tree.

Every tree here is at least a few hundred years old, and the foliage is so dense that even with a thick layer of snow falling on the canopy, there is no snow falling on the branches or under the trees, only a thick layer of fallen leaves and a dark smell of decay.
