In the woods......

Zhizhong and the few scouts left behind were in a dilemma.

Originally, when there were only two people on the other side of the hill, Zhizhong decided to capture these two people alive without thinking about it, but now, there seemed to be a large number of enemies behind these two people, which made Zhizhong feel that he couldn't fight hard at this time.

However, fortunately, Zhizhong and his men have already penetrated into the woods, and there is no fire to illuminate it, which can be described as "the enemy is in the light, and I am in the dark".

However, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the enemy is prepared, whether it is to continue to advance or retreat back to the city, at this time, it is up to Zhizhong to judge for himself.

"My lord, what shall we do?" A voice that was not young sounded beside Zhizhong.

Zhizhong looked up, it was a veteran wearing ordinary soldier's armor, although the armor style on his body was similar to that of other soldiers, but there were obvious signs of wear and tear at the corners, even if it was not visible at a glance under the maintenance of the armor owner, but it could still see the traces of long-term battle.

Zhizhong recognized this person, this is a rare veteran among this group of low-ranking non-commissioned officers, although he has been in the army for longer than himself, but for some reason he has not been promoted.

At this time, the difference between this veteran and other soldiers was reflected, although the others did not show despair, they still gathered around Zhizhong according to military discipline and discipline, but it was obvious that their eyes were flustered when they saw that there were so many people on the other side.

But this veteran has been calmly watching, and even at this time, he is still able to ask questions to his commander in a steady voice.

However, although the veteran was asking a question, it still relieved Zhizhong from his state of panic and began to think about the current situation.

Soon, Zhizhong made a decision and ordered: "We withdraw!" ”

………………

On the hills......

By this time the sky had completely darkened, and although there was a cold glow of starlight and moonlight, it was still extremely dim among the trees shaded by the canopy.

The shadows of the trees are hazy, and the woods, which appear to be green during the day, show the hideousness of the night, and the surrounding darkness is like some unknown monster hidden, which makes people shudder.

However, Yamamoto and Ah Thirteen, who are both dressed in black robes, are different, in addition to the light emitted by the torches held in their hands, there are also small flames floating around the two of them like a dream, burning in the air, although the volume is not large, and the burning is not violent, but there are many of them, behind the two of them, almost the entire hill is there, adding a little warmth under the cold and gloomy night.

"Liu'er, what now?" Ah 13 retracted his gaze focused on the small flames and asked Yamamoto.

It's not in front of people now, so Ah 13 still calls Yamamoto according to his old habit - in Ah 13's opinion, the weird title of "Mountain Master" is better to shout as little as possible......

Hearing Ah Thirteen's words, Yamamoto didn't answer immediately, but silently turned his gaze to his right. There, the shadows of the trees are hazy and dim, making it difficult to see.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Yamamoto's movements, Ah 13 was a little inexplicable, and following Yamamoto's gaze, she could only see the scenery that could be seen everywhere in the woods - the bushes.

Yamamoto shook his head, still looking in that direction and did not speak, and just as Ah Thirteen was about to ask again, Ah Thirteen suddenly caught a glimpse of a person standing there at some point.

This is a man with a rather peculiar appearance, in the light of the surrounding fire, you can see that his face seems to be quite young, only about seventeen or eighteen years old, but he has a black and white mixed hair, and under that strange hair, there are a pair of white eyes, pure white without a trace of variegation, but there is no moisture and divine light that human eyes should have, as if they are two round and dry jade.

"Who are you?" Ah 13 shouted, a hand already touching the short sword at his waist.

The sudden appearance of this man made Ah Thirteen nervous, because just now when her eyes swept over the place where this man was, she did not see this man's figure.

This is when ...... arise Could it be the master of the Qin State?

"My name is Lethe, Taoist...... Renzong. The young man replied, his dry white eyes as if they were out of focus, and he couldn't see where he was looking.

Taoist sect, isn't that ......?

Ah 13 remembered that the predecessor of Xiaoyaozi, who had helped the Mo family before, was the head of the Taoist sect.

Taoism is a very old one of the hundred schools, which originated in the ancient hermit tradition. The founder, Lao Tzu, retreated in Hangu to write the Tao Te Ching, advocating that he should achieve the highest state of integration of all things through his own cultivation.

Three hundred years ago, Taoism split into the Heavenly Sect and the Human Sect because of their different understandings of the "Dao", and they have been fighting endlessly ever since.

And Xiaoyaozi is the head of the Taoist sect.

Thinking of this, Ah Thirteen's hostility and guard relaxed a little, and asked, "I wonder if Mr. Lechuan has any advice here?" ”

Although the hostility and vigilance have decreased, Ah 13 still doesn't dare to fully believe the words of the person in front of him, after all, the timing and way of this Lethe appearance are too weird, and it is difficult to reassure.

Moreover, because the Taoist sect is too mysterious, it can be said that "the dragon sees the head but does not see the tail", and Ah 13 is not very sure whether there is really such a Mr. Lechuan in the human sect.

"These ......," Lethe asked, pointing to the small flames floating in the air around Yamamoto and Ah Thirteen, "...... Doesn't seem to be an illusion? ”

This time, Ah 13 did not speak again, but turned his gaze to Yamamoto.

From the beginning, Yamamoto didn't seem to speak, but after Lechuan revealed his figure, he watched from a distance as those Qin soldiers came out of the bushes, and then mounted their horses on the road and galloped in the direction of Pingxing City, and it didn't seem that he had any intention of continuing to move forward to investigate.

"What is your relationship with Xiaoyaozi?" Yamamoto asked suddenly.

"It's the senior brother below." Lethe replied, and then continued, "Yin and Yang Twins, the Fire of the Five Elements...... I wonder if you can leave your name? ”

"If you are really Xiaoyaozi's junior brother, Xiaoyaozi will sue you." Yamamoto dropped a word, then turned the reins and rode out with Thirteen.

Behind the two of them, the dotted flames lined up in a long line of fire, looking from afar like a team of men and horses fighting with open flames.

Lethe, who was left in place by the two of them, did not stay long, and once again disappeared into the woods at night.
