Chapter Ninety-Four: Siege!
At this time, the sun was at noon, and the students had been marching for half a day, although their faces were covered with wind and dust, and they looked tired, but when they thought that they would be able to reach the first level soon, everyone mustered up their strength to speed up their pace.

Finally, at the end of the main road, a small village appeared in a trance in the light and shadow.
The small village is made of stones, and the shape is like a town, boxy, and it is not strong. However, the height is only half the height of the average city wall.
I saw that just above the city gate of the small village, there was a long pole erected, and a bright red flag was hung on the pole, and the flag was embroidered with a word "will" in gold thread, which was dazzling against the backdrop of the sun.
When Qin Ao saw it, he immediately found that the shape of the flag was consistent with the shape of the military flag representing their Zhiying.
Five soldiers stood on either side of the flag, all of them smiling. And the gate is closed! This oppressive atmosphere makes people feel inexplicably uneasy.
In the blink of an eye, the group had already arrived in front of Xiaozhai, and Qin Ao was about to ask the brothers to stop.
Suddenly! A platoon of soldiers raised their bows and arrows and shot at them without hesitation.
Qin Ao was startled, and immediately took out his sword and swung it a few times to block the threat, and shouted in his mouth, "Stand back!" β
When the students saw each other, they couldn't help but say something and sent hostility towards themselves, and they were in a mess at the moment, if it weren't for Qin Ao's words, they would have been running away with their heads in their hands.
Fu Qianol and Qin Feng immediately stepped forward and cooperated with Qin Ao to cover the retreat of the students.
After retreating about twenty paces, the rain of arrows on the small village finally stopped.
Qin Ao clenched his sword, not daring to relax in the slightest, he turned his head, glanced at everyone, and saw that no one was hit by an arrow, and half of the big stone in his heart fell, but fortunately, the three of them reacted quite quickly!
"Hey......"
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard a groan from someone behind him, and Qin Ao heard that it was He Kongyu's voice, "What's wrong?" He asked eagerly.
"Kongyu's foot twisted." Qingying helped He Kongyu, seeing his painful expression, the facial features were distorted together, and she looked at it, as if she felt that her feet were also a little painful.
"Lan Junfeng, you can help him take a look." Qin Ao commanded, and then continued, "Brother Fu, you take care of everyone, I'll go forward and ask." β
"Okay." Fu Qianol responded.
Qin Ao held the sword at his side, maintained a defensive posture at any time, and took a few steps forward.
Just as he was about to speak, the soldiers on the small village raised their bows again, Qin Ao was full of tension, and raised the sword in his hand to prepare to resist.
"Wait."
A lazy voice came from the village, followed by another yawn. As the sound fell, the soldier's bow and arrow were lowered.
Qin Aohu squinted his eyes suspiciously, looked up, and saw that in the gap between the female wall, two arms were raised upward, and then, a head popped out.
The man stretched his waist, his body twisted, and he stretched a lot before he walked to the female wall, leaning against the wall with one hand, scratching his ear with the other, and glanced at Qin Ao under the village faintly, and looked at it secretly.
Qin Ao furrowed his eyebrows, he was very unfamiliar with the person in front of him, and when he looked at himself, he also looked at him.
The man was dressed in a light black military uniform, with a straw in his mouth, his black hair tied up at will, and a strand of hair on his forehead half-covered his eyes, hiding the essence of his eyes.
"The thieves under the city, report their names." He said coyly, the straw in his mouth swinging up and down.
"Cousin?!" Nangong Lie was very surprised when he saw the people on the small village, he was afraid that he was mistaken, so he ran up quickly.
On the small village, Nangong Mao saw an acquaintance and spit out the straw, "Yo, isn't this Xiaolie?" Tut! You're coming too slowly, aren't you? I'm almost asleep! β
Seeing his angry look, Nangong Lie pursed the corners of his mouth, glared at him and said, "Damn, where are you making trouble?!" Why are you attacking us? "How did this guy come here when he wasn't in the Eastern Frontier Army?! Could it be that General Shen asked him to come?
This kid is still so naΓ―ve! When the mountains and fields march, is it a little ghost's head? Nangong Mao smiled faintly, was silent, and looked at him with interest, let him educate this little cousin well!
"What the hell is this guy going to do?" Nangong Lie cursed in a low voice, "Hey! β¦β¦β
Before Nangong Lie finished speaking, Nangong Mao's face sank, and the banter in his eyes was gone, turning to a touch of coldness.
"Shoot the arrows! Don't let the enemy get closer! β
Nangong Mao shouted, and the soldiers on the small village raised their bows and arrows in a well-trained manner, and fired arrows at them, and for a while, arrows rained down again.
Qin Ao and Nangong Lie hurriedly retreated, and it was not until they returned to the shadow of the tree where the Zhiying brothers were that the arrow rain stopped again.
Nangong Mao crossed his hands on his hips, stood on top of the small village, looked down at the students, and said domineeringly, "A city can only hang one flag!" It's not mine, it's yours! β
"What does he mean?" Qin Feng scratched his head and was completely blindfolded.
Qingying only felt his scalp tingle when he heard this, and sighed and said, "He wants us to attack the city!" β
"Siege?!" A group of students exclaimed in unison, looking at each other, not knowing what to do.
General Shen said that every time you arrive at a certain point, you must leave a military flag, which is what it means! Is it like a siege in a war? The flag is proof of the occupation of one place.
Qingying couldn't help but shake his head when he thought about it, he was vague at the beginning, he wanted to see what we would do in this situation, right?
No wonder, to give ten days! The real time-consuming journey is only the three checkpoints where the military flag is to be placed, right?!
The last two must-reach points must also be to attack the city, or have some other tests, right?
"It seems that there is only one way!" Qin Ao pursed the corners of his mouth and looked at Qingying, "Qingying, do you have any ideas?" β
Qingying raised his eyes and looked at the small village ten zhang away, and looked at it for a while, "This small village is square on the front, and the width is only twelve or thirteen zhang, and there may be flaws in the other three directions, so go and see the three parties before making a decision." β
Qingying and him often have the same thoughts, this is probably the tacit understanding of the same room! Qin Ao nodded and raised the corners of his mouth shallowly.
When Fu Qianol saw Qin Ao's expression when he saw Qingying, he was unhappy in his heart, and just as he wanted to interrupt the two, Qin Ao had already spoken first-
"Brother Fu, you and Qin Feng are in a group, I am in a group with Qingying, you go to the left, we go to the right, explore the situation on both sides, and then converge on the back."
Why wasn't I in the group with Lu Qingying? Fu Qianol wanted to say this, but he knew he couldn't.
Among this group of people, the one with the best insight and the most thorough view of things is him and Qingying, the two of them are in the Zhiying, if they compare with the army, it is equivalent to a military advisor, so the two of them must be one with the other.
Fu Qianol's eyes flashed for a moment, but he quickly covered it up, "Okay." He smiled lightly.
Qin Ao suddenly felt uncomfortable with Qian Yu's smile, and he didn't know where this illusion came from.
Can't figure it out, Qin Ao coughed lightly, and then asked Nangong Lie to take care of everyone, and at the same time asked Su Dongbai to distribute the dry food to everyone, so that they could take this opportunity to rest and eat.
The four of them were decided, and they walked into the forest and ran in two directions of the village.
