97.Chapter 97 Home Field Advantage

Just like Ruan Bai wondered before, the emperors and important ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty were not pumping their brains, how could they let Chu Hao just take two hundred people and swagger all the way to the capital?

It's just a time to lure the snake out of the hole.

The Huns may not be able to see it, but what if they can see it? Will they be able to leave their eldest prince to suffer in a prison cart?

So, this is a yang conspiracy.

The Condor Shooter, according to Ruan Bai's understanding, is a sniper. This kind of person is terrifying wherever he stays.

There are also such people in Da Zhou, but the name is different, let's call it a marksman.

Chu Hao's eldest cousin is one of the few marksmen. Chu Hao, who was beaten by a marksman since he was a child, has a lot of experience in how to dodge arrows. Moreover, Chu Hao's archery skills, along with the improvement of martial arts cultivation, have also risen a lot, and at this moment, it is no longer the same as when he was in the grassland the same year ago.

If it was one-on-one, Chu Hao alone, whether it was against a grandmaster or a marksman, he could probably only guarantee that he could escape for his life. But all he had to do now was harass. There were others who really dealt with the Huns.

What's more, there is also a Fang Maomao who is very familiar with the methods of the Huns.

There is no need for Fang Yu to take the initiative to attack, as long as he is in the camp, timely reinforcement is enough.

Tang Yan and the others didn't know what was going on at all, they just felt that they had just finished eating and climbed into the carriage one moment before, and the next moment the carriage was lifted up and put on the other side.

The horses pulling the cart reacted in time, or the animal's sense of danger was much sharper than Tang Yan's, and they had already turned their heads and ran to the side following Fang Yu's movements. It looked like the horses and Fang Yu had moved the carriage together.

When it first happened, none of the people in the carriage reacted in time. But it was only a matter of a moment, and when they followed the team, they had long expected this to happen. The risk, of course, will be, but it won't be huge. They are not targets, and in the carriage, Chu Hao's arrangement is also enough to protect them.

After the carriage landed smoothly, they reacted - here!

Only Lord Zhang, who was always dizzy, couldn't figure out the situation, when the carriage was lifted and shifted, the weak Lord Zhang was still leaning on the carriage and humming, and his head hit the wall of the carriage solidly, and he made a "bang" sound: "What's going on?" Want to rebel? โ€

Nguyen Bai's specially made carriage is very breathable. Doors can be opened at the front and rear, and there are sliding windows on both sides and on the roof. During the day, it was sweltering, and everything was open except for the door of the groom, and even the curtain hung on one side. As soon as Master Zhang straightened up and went to the window, an arrow almost stuck to his nose and stuck into the window frame. The arrow is three points into the wood, and the shaft of the arrow with its tail feathers is still vibrating violently, making a buzzing sound.

"Ahhh Quick, come and protect this official! โ€

Tang Yan and the others don't despise Lord Zhang now. All of them had white faces, and their foreheads were covered with cold sweat. The other Lord Liu was the first to come back to his senses, reaching out and quickly closing the car window.

Tang Yan swallowed his saliva and beckoned to his stupid student: "Maomao, get in the car!" Danger out there! โ€

These days, he has a much better opinion of his stupid students. In addition to being taller, people are exceptionally simple, and even have some innocence.

There were ten big characters in a booklet, and it would take Fang Yu three days to recognize them. However, he has one advantage, that is, he will not forget jรฌ after remembering. Of course, learning ** is not very strong, literacy has to rely on deception, and there must be rewards for recognizing a word, which is usually a variety of small desserts made by Ruan Bai......

After Fang Yu settled them, he had already jumped to other places. When he passed by Chu Hao's side, he also whispered: "Condor archers, three." โ€

A drop of sweat hung down on Chu Hao's forehead. He always thought it was two. The consequences of missing one can almost be said to be fatal.

"Ahh

Suddenly there was a scream from inside the mountain, and the attack on the camp suddenly weakened a lot. Chu Hao didn't dare to relax in the slightest.

It didn't take long for the attack to stop.

After a while, there was a tremor among the trees, and a little boy with a round face fell out of the ground with a rolling belt, lying on the ground with a disgraced face, and it took him half a day to get up, and when he looked up, at least a hundred bows and arrows were pointed at him.

"Goo." He swallowed his saliva and said in a loud voice, "Your Royal Highness, the slave is Xiao Xizi!" As an elite among the eunuchs and the mainstay of the logistics department of the palace in the future, even if Xiao Xizi is very scared in his heart, he does not tremble at all when he speaks, he does not break the sound, his words are clear, and his tone is frustrated.

Chu Hao's eyes narrowed, and he waved his hand to the back, except for a few people who were still on guard, the rest of them all withdrew their weapons, and then began to clean up the battlefield in an orderly manner, treat the wounded soldiers and horses, and count the lost items.

When Xiao Xizi saw this situation, he quickly got up, patted the dust on his body, and walked to Chu Hao before saluting in a proper manner: "Slave Xiao Xizi, greet His Royal Highness the Prince." โ€

"Since you're here, the person who came here is Gonggong Cai?" Chu Hao knew that the palace would definitely send someone. The royal family has a deep heritage, even their Chu family doesn't know how many masters the old Zhou family has hidden.

"Yes." Xiao Xizi didn't dare to make a mistake.

"He also took you?" Such a dangerous thing, you can even be distracted and bring a little hind legs, Cai Gonggong's old monster, what is the end of the journey now?

Xiao Xizi grinned: "My father-in-law said that I would bring the slave out for a long time." "If it were someone else, he would never dare to speak like this. But he and Chu Hao have also gotten along a few times, and they have also been instructed a few words of martial arts and schoolwork, knowing that this prince of Pingxi is actually quite easy to get along with.

"He really hurts you." Gonggong Cai is now old, and it seems that this little Xizi is the real successor he has chosen.

"Say, what are you doing here?"

Xiao Xizi was a little embarrassed and said, "Your Highness, the slave maid wants to ask Lord Ruan for something." That father-in-law is old, and he has been sleeping in the open ...... along the way."

In terms of actual age, Chu Hao is not a few years older than Xiao Xizi, but whether it is identity and status, or strength and momentum, the two face each other, Chu Hao has always regarded himself as an elder, and Xiao Xizi has a high level of understanding, and people are also clever and likable, the key is that his second dog likes it, and of course he also loves the house and Wu: "Then why don't you go quickly?" โ€

"Yes." Xiao Xizi hurriedly retreated, and found Ruan Bai's car without any forks in the road, "Lord Ruan, Xiao Xizi came to you to ask for something." โ€

Ruan Bai had already heard it, and when he saw Xiao Xizi coming over, he first stuffed a biscuit into his mouth: "Why didn't you go out of the palace and prepare everything?" "If there is nothing in the palace, how can you come to covet his little things for three or five dollars?

Xiao Xizi quickly swallowed a biscuit, and her mouth still tasted the aroma of scallion oil and grains: "How can it." When I came out, I felt ready, but ...... Isn't there a comparison between you and Lord Ruan! If nothing else, the palace will definitely not prepare this ......"

"Cookies."

"Oh, cookies." Xiao Xizi blinked with a pair of watery eyes, looking more pitiful than the big fat and Chubby who made a mistake.

Ruan Bai rolled his eyes: "You wait." โ€

"Hey!" Xiao Xizi smiled.

Anyway, the carriage was cramped, and he was not comfortable lying down, so he simply cleared out some empty space and put it out in the same way, first found a big backpack and handed it to Xiao Xizi: "Take it." There are not many dried pork, beef jerky, dried vegetables, and biscuits, but you don't need to save them, they will become soft after a long time...... By the way, if Cai's father-in-law has a bad mouth, he can dip it in the water and eat it. There is also a tent ......" put it inside, Ruan Bai took some effort to move it out, and then found charcoal and white paper, "I don't have time to talk to you carefully about how to build it, draw a simple picture for you, and you can just build it." โ€

"Hmm." Kiko was curious, how could a tent become so small? Without blinking, he watched Ruan Bai draw.

"I'll give you another toolbox...... Medical kit or? โ€

After a while, Xiao Xizi was full of harvest, and happily went to say goodbye to Chu Hao, and then the wolf bรจi who did not appear at all, disappeared after two or three jumps.

Chu Hao also cleaned up here, because of the timely response, plus with Chu Hao and Fang Yu to protect them, it was seven or eight bandits who died. The strictest zhรฒng on his side is the broken hand bone that was blocked with a shield at the beginning, and it has been properly disposed of. The rest of the dozen people and two horses were injured, and the problem was not serious, and now they were able to hurry.

In addition to the dozen or so bandits dragged out by Ruan Bai, there were also sixty or seventy individual soldiers who were arrested. There are less than 100 bandits, and when facing professional soldiers, they are vulnerable, and not a single fish escapes the net.

Now that there is such a group of people in the team, it is unrealistic to want to ride a horse again. However, the mountain road is already rough, so everyone walks on foot.

Tang Yan and the others also assembled three flatbed trucks in an extreme period of time, and put some wounded and corpses who could not walk on the flatbed trucks.

If Ruan Bai hadn't moved the parts out, they wouldn't have known that Ruan Bai had prepared these things.

Ruan Bai took it for granted: "With such a long road, there will definitely be accidents." "Besides, there are few parts for such a thing as a flatbed truck, and it doesn't take up space when it's disassembled. It's just that time is too tight, otherwise if there were four wagons, there would be more to bring.

After arranging, Ruan Bai came to Chu Hao's side, pulled his sleeves and looked up and smiled: "Brother Hao~"

Chu Hao's heart trembled, and then he saw his nondescript smile, and said angrily: "Brother, what brother?" Hands are not sore? People aren't tired anymore? Don't go to lie in the car? โ€

Ruan Bai whispered to him when the wind blew in his ears when the wind blew, "I want to ask you something." We've caught these bandits, and we'll give us a bounty when we bring them to the county office, right? "Bounty hunter, don't you want to make a shot?

"Where did you hear all this nonsense?" Chu Hao frowned fiercely, and while pushing Ruan Bai back to the car, he said, "With such a large group of bandits, where does the local county government have the ability to exterminate them?" It was supposed to be a garrison thing. I don't know the garrison here...... Never mind. "The terrain here is complicated, and it is estimated that the local garrison wants to suppress the bandits, but they are also powerless. Moreover, if a group of bandits can develop to the current scale, it is simply impossible to have no internal response under the mountain. With the little military strength in the local area, if you really want to rush into the mountains, you may not know who will kill whom.

After walking this way, he has not yet left the western border, and it is still the territory under his own jurisdiction, and when this kind of thing happens, Chu Hao feels deeply faceless: "You just need to know that it is the duty of a soldier to exterminate bandits." If it weren't for the fact that we still had a mission, this bandit would ...... Hum! โ€

Cut, believe it or not, Lao Tzu touched the bandits' den himself, and served them even the pot, not even a pair of pants left to them!

During his career as an agent, Nguyen Bai also participated in several operations to find the thieves' den. However, at that time, they were all particular about hiding in the city, except for an underground munitions processing factory that was hit by his blind cat and a dead mouse in the suburbs, and he only had field detection simulation training when he was trained.

Bounty hunters, really don't you want to make a shot! There must be money in the thieves' den! The man in his family is such a loser, but he needs money!

Bandits, hold on! You must wait for him to come back from the capital!

Nguyen Bai is full of confidence (...... Climbed back into the carriage and lay the corpse.

In the woods, Gonggong Cai and Xiao Xizi watched the centaurs slowly disappear from view, and the two also packed up their things and followed from afar.

Gonggong Cai thrust the telescope into his belt, biting a biscuit in his mouth, and a small fluttering burden behind him.

Xiao Xizi carried a half-human-tall bag on her back and kept following: "Godfather, you always walk slowly." "Just now, it was obviously my godfather who asked him to ask for something, but he kicked him out directly. Godfather's age, is he really an old child?

"Xiao Young, I eat so much food every day, and I can't keep up with my father-in-law's old arms and legs?" Gonggong Cai didn't look back. The dense forest did not hinder him at all, and the whole person was like flowing water, almost more flexible than a monkey.

On the contrary, the little Kiko who followed him was much more wolf. He walked all the way along the route of Gonggong Cai, but there would always be a branch hanging here, and a snake would pop out there, and he would slander his godfather. If Grandpa Cai has old arms and legs, then he doesn't have broken arms and legs?

Xiao Xizi was very busy, but Chu Hao and they were walking slowly at this time, so they didn't have to rush too much.

When it was about to get dark, the group rushed to the post station where they were going to stay this time.

Also at the foot of the mountain, this post station looks a little newer than the previous Anting Station, but there is not enough place to accommodate so many people. Food is enough.

Yi Cheng is a lean man in his thirties, with gray hair, he looks very energetic, one leg is a little lame, and he smiled while leading the way: "Left by the army in the early years." It was thanks to this injury that he was able to come back alive. If you live, you can have a good life. No, our prince has arranged an official position...... This is the kitchen. I knew that you were coming, and I would have enough to eat, but I was afraid that I would have to bother you to do it yourself. โ€

Shunyang Pass is in the northwest corner of the Great Zhou. From the moment they set out, they had been walking along the northern route almost all the time, passing by one by one, and this was the first time they had encountered a post station with enough food.

Chu Hao smiled: "Where can you talk about labor." It's good to have a stutter. He just relied on Ruan Bai's absence, otherwise he would roll his eyes and show him every minute.

No matter how rough Chu Hao is, he is a prince in his bones, and there are many poor and exquisite stinky problems. Especially after the two of them settled down in Shunyangyi, they had to toss everything for food, clothing, and housing. Fortunately, he does a lot of things himself.

Yi Cheng laughed heartily. He didn't know what Chu Hao's identity was, he was also the head of a hundred households before he was discharged from the army, if he hadn't returned home, he wouldn't have come out to be a postman. He patted Chu Hao on the shoulder: "Well said!" When we were the hardest back then, we dug up a grass root and could chew it for a day. No, as soon as you come back, you will start stockpiling food, and you will be able to use it. โ€

Chu Hao thanked Yicheng again, and then called a few soldiers and began to make a fire to cook.

One of the soldiers said, "Along the way, this post is like a dot." โ€

Chu Hao shook his head: "Being shrewd is the most shrewd. "The food they eat is saved by Yicheng himself, and it has nothing to do with the local yamen. When the time comes, they can just walk away without remembering the benefits of Yicheng? Coupled with the wounded veterans, this identity is so close, isn't it?

However, people are inevitably a little cautious, and Chu Hao will not care about this. Capable man, he doesn't mind giving a chance.

A soldier took two briquette stoves down, and Chu Hao began to make small stoves.

A few soldiers who thought they were good at cooking stared at his every move. It's the same rice washing, and I always feel that the movements of the thousand households are particularly fast, and the washing is particularly clean.

Chu Hao quickly put the pot on the briquette stove and ordered, "Look at it." Then in a flash, the man was gone.

When the lid of the pot was pressed by the steam and began to crackle, Chu Hao came back, holding a deer in his hand.

The soldiers came over with pots to collect blood. The deer doesn't look big, peeled and boneless, and there are probably dozens of catties of meat when they are cleaned up, and they can roughly divide it?

Chu Hao glanced at them and gave them the deer blood and half of the deer: "It's not easy to deal with the water, rinse it and take it to the Yicheng here." โ€

The soldiers were reluctant. How to deal with the deer heart and deer liver, can we keep it ourselves? But the boss's orders must be obeyed, and they can only do it.

Chu Hao hummed a small tune alone, raised his knife and fell, and after a while, he processed the ingredients, ordered another briquette stove, and began to stir-fry.

He first fried a large pot of venison, and after dividing it, he asked people to send Tang Yan and them additional vegetables. His family Fang Maomao recently had dinner with his husband, and he couldn't be short of food. As for the taste, feel free to do so.

Then he began to fry the venison in a small pot, and the smell was completely different from the previous cauldron.

When it was finished, he also put the remaining venison in a pot and simmered it over low heat, and explained: "Look at the fire at night, don't put it out." "By tomorrow morning, the bones will be rotten. I haven't eaten well all the way, and his second dog is still growing!

Two special lunch boxes were lined with white rice, stewed vermicelli with marinated meat and radish made by the soldiers, and fragrant fried venison piled high in the lattices on the side. There is also a drawer on top. Chu Hao quickly cut a plate of sour kimchi, and before he knew where he touched a watery wild fruit, he cut it and piled it up.

The rest of the soldiers looked at the back of their distant boss and looked down at the stewed vermicelli grunting in the pot. I originally thought it was already very good, the vermicelli was delicious and hungry, and there were vegetables and meat; Now compare the ...... of others

"It's good to be a thousand households...... The soldiers sucked their saliva quietly, subconsciously turned their heads to look at the pot of stewed venison on the briquette stove, and they didn't dare to open their mouths when they swallowed their saliva.

The rooms in the post station were limited, so Chu Hao and Ruan Bai naturally slept on the same bed at night. The bed board was very narrow, and Chu Hao pressed Ruan Bai Tuan Tuan into his arms; When he woke up in the morning, Ruan Bai slept on all fours, half of his body hanging outside.

Fang Maomao had already gotten up, squatted on the ground, smiled when he saw this, turned his head and said to his husband: "Chu Hao didn't fall down, sir, you lost!" โ€

Tang Yan didn't think anything when he bet with the student, but now when he saw Chu Hao looking at him, he felt that it was not very good, so he quickly grabbed his student and went out, and whispered: "Syrup is a medicine for children's cold, not for eating......

Chu Hao got up steadily, re-covered the quilt for Ruan Bai, and saw Ruan Bai open his eyes in a daze: "It's still early, sleep for a while, wait for me to call you." โ€

Ruan Bai let out a "hmm" and shrank back into the quilt. He was used to getting up later than Chu Hao.

He was soon left alone in the cramped room...... No, it's windy!

Now the mosquitoes are not dead, and it is cold at night, so he obviously closed the window before going to bed. When Chu Hao went out just now, he also heard the sound of the door closing.

His movements were faster than his head, and the moment he felt something was wrong, he jumped directly from the bed to the beam, and threw a few copper plates in his hand. He wanted to get a few bullets, at least steel nails, but wasn't this limited in terms of conditions, and he only had "money darts" in his hand? If you don't shake the copper plate, do you throw the pillow?

However, he just threw the copper plate into a heavenly maiden scattered flowers, and he did not pose the slightest threat to the visitors.

Master!

Of course, Ruan Bai can't beat the grandmaster, not even a grandmaster like Chu Hao, unless he can be given enough time and information, it is possible to win it by plotting.

But now he didn't want to run for his life, and he didn't need to take down the Grandmaster, all he needed was a little bit of time.

It's slow to say, it's actually only a moment.

The Hun Grandmaster came in through the window, and the moment he determined Ruan Bai's location, Ruan Bai jumped on the beam of the room, throwing out the copper plate while shouting: "Help! โ€

The young man's voice was still sharp, and the raised voice was almost like a siren sounding.

The Hun Grandmaster did not hesitate, and when Fang Yu and Chu Hao jumped into the house almost at the same time, they jumped out of the window and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Ruan Bai climbed down the beam, frowned, raised his head and asked Chu Hao: "It's a little strange, why do the Huns want to target me?" โ€

In this team, the same came, is there a difference between dozens of soldiers and Ruan Bai for a grandmaster?

Chu Hao understands the ability of a grandmaster even more. Don't look at them, there seem to be two grandmasters here, and there is also a Cai Gonggong behind the scenes. But if you really have to fight hard, no, you don't need to fight hard at all, and it is easy for them to take two or three soldiers a day.

But on the contrary, they targeted Ruan Bai. Obviously, even if you want to arrest the hostages and exchange them, you should arrest him.
