"Hua team master, the young master will not have an accident, he is so clever, he has a lot of ghost ideas, and he is eclectic in his troubles, he will come back safely, you don't have to worry too much!"

Lu Xuanbo chattered beside Mulan, Hua Mulan sat on the horse with a rice bowl and grabbed the food in her mouth with chopsticks, while crying silently, ignoring Lu Xuanbo's words at all.

When Hua Mulan heard Lu Xuanbo say that Zhao Junsheng took two people to the north to inquire about the military situation, she felt that her heart was completely hollowed out, and her mind was full of Zhao Junsheng's daily voice, smile, and every move.

"Why didn't I ignore Junsheng's brother and turn around and walk away? I must have broken Junsheng's brother's heart! Mulan burst into tears, thinking wildly in her head.

Lu Xuanbo put his long sword on the ground, "Flower team master, as far as I know, my young master didn't blame you, and he didn't get angry with you, you said that you were going to the north to reconnoiter the military situation of the Rouran people, and the young master didn't worry about you going, so he went for you, if he was angry with you, how could he do this?" You still don't understand? My young master doesn't even want his life for you, who in the world doesn't regard women as clothes? How many people can concentrate on you alone like my young master? ”

"Young master, this person doesn't have any big ambitions, maybe he's still very afraid of death, and he doesn't want to meddle in things, but he is really good to you, I think you should cheer up and urge these soldiers to build the city wall as soon as possible!"

Hua Mulan was stunned for a while, as if she had suddenly figured out something, took the chopsticks and grabbed the rice vigorously, and ate all the food in the bowl in one go.

In a mountain col fifteen miles northwest of Nantian Fort, Zhao Junsheng, Gao Xiu, and Xue An all set up a small camp in this leeward mountain col.

Xue Andu picked up a bundle of dry firewood from nearby and prepared to light a fire in the middle of the three camp tents, the fire fold had just been blown by him and was about to be lit under the hay, but he was held down by Zhao Junsheng: "This is the territory of the Rouran people, there will be Rouran detectives or patrol rangers passing by at any time, you can't make a fire, a lifetime of fire will attract the Rouran people!" ”

Xue Andu could only cover the fire fold and take it back into his arms, take out the dry food and nibble on it, and drink cold boiled water with his own water bag.

Zhao Junsheng sat at the door of the camp tent, holding a piece of baked cake and gnawing on it, and said to Gao Xiu and Xue Andu: "Tonight, the three of us will take turns on duty to sentry, no one can doze off during the sentry period, once touched by the Rouran people, but there is a danger of losing his life, and he must not be careless, Xiuda will keep it from now on until the end of the time, Zihao will keep it until the end of the ugly time, and wake me up when the time comes!" ”

Gao Xiu said: "Let's start from the time of Yin!" ”

Zhao Junsheng waved his hand: "It's decided!" ”

There are only more than 60 miles from Jinling to Shengle City, and Zhao Junsheng estimates that their location should be in the area between 10 and 20 miles of Shengle City, so Rouran's vigilance in this area is still very high, and the patrol should be very intensive, and it is also for safety reasons not to light fires at night.

Zhao Junsheng hid in the camp tent after eating dry food and drinking water, and he didn't know who it was, he was woken up by Xue Andu: "Du Wei, Du Wei, wake up!" ”

Zhao Junsheng instantly sobered up, got up and said, "What happened?" ”

"Please come down with the captain!"

Under the leadership of Xue Andu, the two climbed up the mountain next to them in the dark, and when they reached the top of the mountain, Xue Andu pointed to the northeast direction and said, "Captain, look! ”

Looking in the direction of Xue Andu's finger, Zhao Junsheng saw a fire a few miles to the northeast, and there seemed to be a figure flickering by the fire.

Zhao Junsheng's expression was grim, and he turned his head to Xue Andu: "Go and wake up Zihao, let's go and visit those Rouran people!" ”

"Yes!" Xue Andu clenched his fists and agreed, turned around and walked down the mountain.

By the time Zhao Junsheng came down from the mountain, Gao Xiu and Xue Andu had already prepared their horses.

"Don't ride a horse, the sound of riding a horse is especially clear at night, let's just carry bows, crossbows, knives and guns and don't walk over!"

Gao Xiu and Xue Andu immediately tied their horses again, each carrying a bow and arrow, and followed Zhao Junsheng towards the fire with weapons in hand.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Zhao Junsheng estimated that he was not too far away from the fire, he immediately waved his hand to Gao Xiu and Xue Andu, and motioned to them for the three of them to disperse, not too far away, not too close, to be able to support each other in time, but not to be discovered by the Rouran people because they were too close.

When he walked about two miles away from the fire, Zhao Junsheng pressed his hands on Gao Xiu and Xue Andu, motioned for the two of them to squat, and then bent down and quietly approached the fire, every hundred meters or so, he had to stop and find a stone on the ground or grab a piece of dirt and throw it forward, so as to test whether there was a hidden sentry in front of him.

This trip is definitely not to visit the mountains and rivers, nor to visit the family, but to investigate the military situation of the Rouran people, and if he is careless, he will die in Huangquan, Zhao Junsheng will never dare not care, nor dare he be careless.

Zhao Junsheng never regarded any nation as a barbaric and uncivilized nation, even if the civilization level of the Rouran people was not high, it did not mean that they were stupid, and they had been in a situation of struggling with the harsh natural environment for a long time, and he believed that the premonition of the Rouran people was definitely much higher than that of the people in the civilized world!

Therefore, he would never dare to underestimate the vigilance of the Rouran people against danger, and he would never think that the Rouran people did not deploy the corresponding early warning mechanism around Shengle City.

Zhao Junsheng walked a hundred meters bent over, crawled forward for another two hundred meters, grabbed a ball of dirt and threw it forward every one hundred meters, and waited for several seconds before continuing to crawl forward.

Only about a mile away from the fire, Zhao Junsheng crawled a hundred meters, grabbed a ball of dirt from the ground and threw it forward as usual.

As soon as the mud ball fell to the ground, Zhao Junsheng heard a scolding voice not far away: "Who? Who is so boring, it's okay for you to throw something? ”

Zhao Junsheng's heart tightened, he judged the approximate location of Rouran's secret whistle from the direction from which the voice came, and then turned his head to look left and right, feeling that Gao Xiu and Xue Andu also stopped.

He couldn't understand what the other party said, only Gao Xiu could understand some of the three people, Zhao Junsheng thought about it, slowly took off the longbow and put it on the ground, took out an arrow from the quiver and put it aside, grabbed a ball of dirt and threw it again in the direction where the sound came from.

A "snap" sounded out.

A dark shadow jumped out of the ground and scolded: "Are you the endless? Believe it or not, Lao Tzu used you as a spy of the Wei army to send signals over there? ”

Zhao Junsheng immediately grabbed the longbow and arrows, aimed at the black shadow and pulled the bow and released the arrow, with a "whoosh" sound, the arrow hit the target, and the black shadow slowly fell.

Zhao Junsheng didn't immediately rush up to check the situation, he waited for two minutes, and didn't notice anything else abnormal before crawling forward to the black shadow that fell to the ground.

This was a Rouran cavalryman, and Zhao Junsheng felt his carotid artery, but did not feel a pulse, confirming that he was dead.

Zhao Junsheng looked up at the side of the fire, there was a large camp tent next to the fire, and there were four people around the fire while talking while roasting the fire, and some people were roasting food.

He judged that this should be a scout team, a scout team of not only five people, there should be ten people, if there are ten people, then the other five people should go out to patrol.

He waved his hand to Gao Xiu and Xue An, who were hidden on the left and right sides, and motioned to them to continue to slowly approach the fire, and the three of them crawled towards the fire at the same time.

The closer he was to the fire, the more clearly Zhao Junsheng could see the four people sitting by the fire, and he could also see Xue Andu and Gao Xiu who were not far from his left and right.

When he climbed to only thirty or forty meters away from the fire, Zhao Junsheng knew that he couldn't climb forward anymore, and if he climbed again, he would be discovered, so he picked up his bow and arrow and made a gesture to Xue Andu and Gao Xiu, and motioned to them to shoot the bow and arrow together, and each of them shot one.

Xue Andu and Gao Xiu each raised their hands and waved, indicating that they understood what he meant, and the three of them picked up their bows and arrows together and aimed at the target.

"Whoosh" three sharp arrows were fired almost simultaneously.

After Zhao Junsheng shot the arrow, he didn't care whether he hit it or not, he immediately got up and ran towards the fire.

The three Rouran soldiers fell at the same time, and the remaining one of the Rouran soldiers was roasting a hare, he was talking to the other three, but he didn't get a response, he looked up, and saw that the three of them had fallen, his face changed, and he just pulled out the scimitar when he saw Zhao Junsheng rushing with a knife.

This Rouran soldier's face was hideous, and he swung his knife to meet Zhao Junsheng, and Zhao Junsheng was also splitting with a knife.

Rou Ranbing's knife was half slashed, and he was scared in his heart, and he changed his move to block halfway.

With a "dang" sound, Zhao Junsheng slashed at the opponent's scimitar, and quickly changed his move and swept towards the opponent's abdomen.

With a "poof", Rou Ranbing looked down at his abdomen and fell to the ground with a pop.

Xue Andu and Gao Xiu also rushed up at this time, and when they saw that the last Rouran soldier was solved by Zhao Junsheng with a knife, they immediately divided their heads to check the three Rouran soldiers who were hit by arrows.

"Yo, and a roasted hare? Looks like we're in luck! Xue Andu's eyes lit up after he saw the roasted hare on the fire after checking the Rouran soldiers who had been hit by the arrow, and he walked over with a smile.

Zhao Junsheng said: "Don't be busy eating meat first, according to the usual practice, the Rouran people send a guard post or scout, generally ten people, led by a ten-captain team, now we have only solved five people, there should be five more, I guess they are probably patrolling around, we have to solve the remaining five people before we can eat meat with peace of mind!" ”

Xue Andu was stretching out his hand to the hare that was roasting, and after hearing Zhao Junsheng's words, he stopped, withdrew his hand and got up and said, "Du Wei, what do you say we should do now?" ”

Zhao Junsheng smiled: "Of course it's waiting for the rabbit!" ”

The fire continued to burn, and the hare on the fire was already golden brown and dripping with oil, and the grease dripping on the fire made a sizzling sound.

Three Rouran soldiers were roasting around the fire, and some people added firewood to the fire from time to time.

"Pedal ······" A series of horses' hooves sounded, and the five Rouran horsemen trotted over, stopped near the fire, and jumped off their horses, throwing down the reins and surrounding the fire.
