Out of Luoyun Pass, Chen Xiaoting and his entourage rushed to the northwest, and they also brought scouts on the road from Luoyun Pass.
With the specific directions and the guidance of the scouts in the army, their group hurried quickly, and arrived at the foot of the Northwest Mountain Range in the afternoon.
Looking at the majestic mountains in the distance, combined with the vast Gobi Desert, Chen Xiaoting's horse team looked extremely small.
"The sky is vast, and the wilderness is vast...... It's magnificent! Chen Xiaoting couldn't help but sigh.
After a few hours of traveling, everyone, including Chen Xiaoting, was tired, so Chen Xiaoting decided to let his subordinates rest first.
The rest of the road is not suitable for horseback riding, otherwise it is very easy to be spotted, and walking means more arduous.
"Let the brethren dismount and rest, and drink plenty of water...... Eat some dry food! Chen Xiaoting said in a deep voice.
The flag officer went down to give orders, and Chen Xiaoting himself also turned over and dismounted and took the kettle handed by his subordinates.
Even he had chapped lips at this time, and it was obvious that his body was dehydrated, but there was nothing he could do.
In the Gobi, water is a life-saving thing, and I don't dare to drink it violently until the critical moment.
But at this time, I only heard Chen Xiaoting say in a loud voice: "Brothers, give me enough water...... After a while, we have copied the lair of the White Lotus Sect, what do we eat, what do we drink! ”
The location of the White Lotus Sect's lair must have enough water, otherwise dozens of people would not be able to survive at all.
Hearing Chen Xiaoting's words, the morale of the captains was high, and the appeal of the Thousand Households could be seen.
While breaking the dry food, Chen Xiaoting walked among the lieutenants at the same time, glanced at everyone and said: "This errand has been completed, you are all people with great merits, not only the official wants to reward you...... This official will also play the emperor and show your merits to the emperor! ”
"When the time comes, if the emperor sends down a holy decree to reward, then you will all be glorious and honorable!"
This is obviously a big pie, but with Chen Xiaoting's charm and acting skills, it also makes the captains excited.
Glory to the ancestors is what everyone yearns for in this era.
Draw bread to satisfy hunger, and now that the bread is finished, it is natural to satisfy hunger.
"Okay, let's eat quickly, and go into the mountain after eating!"
After saying this, Chen Xiaoting stuffed a piece of cake into his mouth, and at the same time looked at the mountains in the distance.
The rest of the walk, that's the real test.
After about ten minutes, after everyone had finished eating and drinking, Chen Xiaoting ordered everyone to set off again.
This time, except for a few people who were left to watch the horses, everyone else headed towards the mountains.
Everyone had a clear division of labor, and the crossbow machine and arrows were carried separately, plus a pot of water for each person, plus a saber and armor...... The weight of each person reached more than 50 catties.
Under such a load, they could not travel quickly, and their destination was at least seven or eight miles.
However, everything is for concealment, so they must suffer this suffering.
Along the way, they barely heard anything other than the occasional clash of armor.
After rushing for more than an hour, Chen Xiaoting finally saw the mountain col in front of him, where was the destination of their trip.
"Stop!" Chen Xiaoting ordered.
Before the sentinels returned, they were not allowed to act rashly, generally speaking, there would be secret sentinels of the White Lotus Sect in these places.
Everyone waited like this, drinking water to regain their strength, the only thing everyone could do.
This is the lair of the White Lotus Sect, it must be heavily guarded, and the next battle will definitely be a hard battle, and the captains are all nervous at this time.
"My lord, they're back!" A flag official said in a low voice.
Sure enough, I saw the two lieutenants rushing over, and looking at their wonderful expressions, I knew that they had found a lot of things.
"Tell me, have you found anything?" The flag officer next to him asked anxiously.
But Chen Xiaoting saw that these two people were out of breath, so he said: "Drink some water first, don't worry...... Speak slowly! ”
The more critical you are, the more you have to keep yourself calm, and the more urgent things are, the easier it is to make mistakes.
After the two lieutenants drank the water, one of them finally spoke: "My lord, about two miles ahead, the terrain is cheerful and flat, and there are more than a dozen tents set up on it!" ”
This is consistent with the information reported by Guangde, which means that they are in the right place.
"Did you find any hidden piles?" Chen Xiaoting then asked, this is a very critical question.
If someone finds out in advance, then things have to be messed up.
"My lord, the villain only found two clear whistles, but after all, this is the nest of the White Lotus Sect, and there must be a secret whistle!"
What this means is that although they didn't find a dark whistle, there must have been a dark whistle.
Chen Xiaoting nodded, now he has to think of a way to remove these secret sentinels first.
The so-called collective efforts, so Chen Xiaoting said to everyone: "Think of a way, how can you find out the location of the secret whistle!" ”
Everyone here is an old man in the brocade guard, and each must have a few tricks.
Sure enough, I heard someone say, "My lord, let's send a few people to various high places to monitor the whole area in front of us!" ”
"No matter how deep the secret post hides, he always has to eat and drink, someone has to give it to them, or someone may replace it!"
Chen Xiaoting nodded, this was indeed a breakthrough, and he didn't think of any other way for a short time.
"But what about doing that...... It's a bit time-consuming! A flag officer interjected.
If they don't show up for a day or two, they will have to wait honestly according to this method, but the dry food they bring will not last long.
"That's not the case, while waiting for them to appear, we can also survey the nearby terrain and start working when the time comes...... And know where they're going! ”
Chen Xiaoting continued to nod, he found that these people under him had good brains, and he was lucky to be able to rise to the position of a thousand households so quickly.
"It's a deliberate method!" Chen Xiaoting approvingly.
In the current situation, since you can't find an easy way to break the game, you might as well increase your winning chips.
Immediately, Chen Xiaoting looked at the terrain in front of him and said, "There are high points on the left and right, quietly send someone to touch it, maybe the secret post is hidden there!" ”
Although this is a joke, it is not impossible, so Chen Xiaoting said this very seriously.
In fact, figuring out someone's secret stake is easy to say, but it is very difficult to implement, because you first have to make sure that you don't find out.
Therefore, Chen Xiaoting took out the knowledge of his previous life and ordered the captains to clean up the wild grass, which was to make auspicious clothes for his subordinates.
Half an hour later, when he saw the finished "auspicious suit", a flag officer looked puzzled and said: "My lord, this thing looks like a cloth, what's the use of wearing this thing?" ”
Chen Xiaoting smiled, pointed to a lieutenant and put it on, and then let him lie down in the grass.
Then, something magical happened to everyone present, the captain lying on the ground blended in with his surroundings, and who would have thought that there was a man under the straw mat if he hadn't known in advance.
Moreover, they were still observing closely, and if they were farther away, in this world full of darkness as far as the eye could see, wearing this was equivalent to an invisibility cloak.
"The adults are clever, and the subordinates admire!"
Not surprisingly, Chen Xiaoting received the knees of his subordinates, but there was no fluctuation in his heart.
"Do a few more things like this, and let the brothers put them on and set off, and dig out the stakes for me!" Chen Xiaoting said with a serious expression.
