Chapter 33: The Smoke Rises

In Shizhan Pass, in the big tent of the barracks, a scout rushed into the camp tent in a hurry to convey the urgent military situation: "Report, smoke is burning on the beacon tower of Crouching Tiger Pass." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"What?" Together, it means that there will be a war in Crouching Tiger Pass, and this time the Lanxi army has just been defeated and so anxious to organize an attack, which Wang Yuan did not expect.

The military situation was urgent, and Wang Yuan and Xiao Jingru couldn't care about the matter at hand, and immediately rushed to Shizhan Pass. At this moment, looking out, a brownish-yellow wolf smoke is swaying up from the Crouching Tiger Pass in the distance, and under the blowing of the breeze, the rising wolf smoke is slowly connected with the blue sky, which is extremely spectacular.

This level of wolf smoke is the highest level of distress signal in the barracks, and it will not be used easily at all, and once it is used, it means that one's side is in a desperate crisis.

"Thinking of it, Tang Yu, that kid really dares to confront the Lanxi army." Seeing that Tang Yu was just asking for help, but did not retreat, Wang Yuan couldn't help but glance at him.

"Battalion Commander Xiao, you take five squadrons to meet Battalion Commander Tang, no matter what the battle situation is, you will withdraw with Tang Yu's fourth battalion, and Crouching Tiger Pass can no longer be defended." Although Wang Yuan left Tang Yu in Crouching Tiger Pass, he did not mean to abandon all the officers and soldiers of the fourth battalion, since Tang Yu asked for help, then he could not sit idly by.

"Hmm" Xiao Jingru nodded, and acted resolutely, because considering that there might be a tough battle next, Xiao Jingru also chose the squadron led by Lin Chufeng and Duan Tianlang, who had the strongest combat effectiveness, when selecting the squadron.

The ten-mile journey was not a problem for the lightly armed infantry, and half an hour later, the five squadrons led by Xiao Jingru arrived less than three miles away from Crouching Tiger Pass.

But at this moment, Xiao Jingru ordered to slow down the speed of the march, because everything around her made her vigilant. Under normal circumstances, a battle of thousands of people would have been heard for miles, but even now they had not heard any noise.

As the entire army continued to move forward, the scene that suddenly appeared in front of them made them stop suddenly, and dozens of corpses of the North Vietnamese army were suddenly lying in the middle of the road.

Looking around, there was no trace of battle around, but these North Vietnamese troops died here mysteriously, even if they were all remnants of the defeated army retreating from Crouching Tiger Pass, there should be Lanxi's enemy army catching up, instead of the corpses lying in wait here without warning like now.

"Stop moving forward and stay put." conveyed the order to the five squadrons behind him, and then Xiao Jingru also chose to walk forward alone.

In fact, this is closer to human instinct, Xiao Jingru wants to step forward to check if there is still a living mouth among these people, because no matter how powerful she is, it is impossible to know the whole story of this matter out of thin air, just like she doesn't know that Crouching Tiger Pass has long been lost.

Of course, there will be no live mouth among these people for Xiao Jingru to verify, because they are all specially ordered by Luo Tianye to be carried out from the ambushed valley, and as for the wolf smoke ignited by Crouching Tiger Pass, it is naturally Luo Tianye's masterpiece.

Turning over a few corpses did not yield anything, Xiao Jingru's footsteps continued to move forward, and at this moment, Ye Wenzheng, who was standing slightly in front of the five squadrons, watched all this with a cautious face.

Compared to Xiao Jingru's focus on inspecting the corpses, Ye Wen's keen perception was shrouded in all the corpses on the ground, and it was really strange for these corpses to appear here, as if someone had done it on purpose.

Just as Xiao Jingru was about to move forward again, directly in front of her, a corpse wearing a squadron leader's uniform, lying motionless in a pool of blood, suddenly attracted Ye Wen's attention, because just now he clearly felt a trace of spiritual power fluctuations on this corpse.

Although this trace of spiritual power fluctuated extremely weakly, and it was well hidden, it still couldn't hide Ye Wen, who was a lower-ranking Heavenly Sect and whose spiritual power was different from ordinary people, and a sense of crisis quickly surged into his brain.

"Be careful." Under the hidden crisis, Ye Wen couldn't take care of it anymore, and shouted directly at Xiao Jingru.

The sudden voice, the expression on Xiao Jingru's face also appeared still, but after the baptism of the battlefield all year round, her body still instinctively tensed.

As everyone knows, Ye Wen's reminder also broke the deployment of the assassin on the ground, in fact, as long as Xiao Jingru took one step further, with his strength, he would be ninety percent sure that Xiao Jingru would be killed on the spot. But now, the best opportunity had been missed, but the Assassin showed great resilience.

As soon as Ye Wen's words fell, the assassin who was lying on the ground jumped up directly from the ground, and kicked the ground with his hind feet, with such a rebound force, the assassin also rushed straight towards Xiao Jingru like a sharp arrow, and a short dagger in his hand was blessed by the power of the seal, and it also flashed with a bright edge.

To these Assassins, they were like a poisonous python lurking in the jungle, always waiting for the opportunity to kill their prey with a single blow, and if they did, they would stab their sharp fangs into their prey's body.

Although he did not achieve the expected goal, the assassin also felt terrifying, and in the blink of an eye, he pounced on Xiao Jingru less than a step away.

And at this moment, Xiao Jingru's figure, which had already come to her senses, also began to retreat violently, under the awe-inspiring attack of this assassin, she could not take any effective measures at all, because as long as she stopped, even for a second, this assassin would have a chance to penetrate her throat.

In this way, the Assassin's appearance was completely exposed to everyone, this person's face was thin, his eyes as sharp as an eagle flashed with a deep light, and the most frightening thing was that the center of this person's eyebrows were flashing with four distinct blue seals.

"Lower Heavenly Sect", for a while, four such heavy words invariably appeared in everyone's minds, for most people here, such a character is already an existence that they crave and cannot reach.

In the Lanxi army, he is proficient in the way of assassination, and at the same time has the strength of the four seals, which naturally only the squadron leader of the Shadow Guard, Kui Ying, can do.

This time, Luo Tianye's calculation can be described as leaky, he first ordered the Lanxi army stationed in Wohu Pass to light the beacon tower, and attracted reinforcements while Xiao Jingru and Wang Yuan were not aware of it. Then such a game was set up here, and even his right-hand man Kui Ying was sent out, which shows what kind of killing heart Luo Tianye has moved this time.
