Because he didn't want to cause senseless incidents, Lu Zhen and his party came out of the inn early in the morning and went directly out of Gushan Town. In this regard, although the people in the town have some discussions, they do not dare to stop them, they are all honest rural farmers, and they have all been bullied by the Guo family, who dares to embarrass these military men?

It's just that in the pair of eyes that watched them leave, there was a faint killing intent flashing, and Lu Zhen was completely ignorant of this.

The rest of the journey was not much different from the previous days, the same monotony, there were still few pedestrians on the road, and the sun was getting hot overhead, so it was really not very comfortable to hurry.

When it was almost noon, Lu Zhen asked the horses to take refuge in a forest for a while, and then continued on the road until it was a little cooler. But in this case, they must have missed the previous night, so they decided to take advantage of the dark and cool weather to travel more.

So until dusk, they kept moving forward. And unconsciously, I also entered the Wuhui Mountain, which really belongs to the intersection of Shanxi and Hebei. Fortunately, the road in this mountain has been smoothed by people with their feet and vehicles for many years, and it is not too difficult for them to walk in it. On the contrary, because it is accompanied by the stars and the moon, it seems to be quite interesting, and it is necessary for an adult with the status of a jinshi to improvise a poem to respond to this situation.

But soon, the person who broke this state of mind appeared, and two or three black shadows suddenly appeared on the high slope not far away, watching the actions of this group condescendingly: "They are moving quite fast, and they are still hurrying at night, because they don't die fast enough." ”

"I'll follow them, you go back to the village and let the owner of the village send his brothers down the mountain." A slender man said casually as he stared at everything under his eyes with blazing eyes.

The people around him hurriedly agreed, and then quickly disappeared into the night. A net had slowly fallen from beneath the dark sky.

@@@@@

Half an hour later, looking at the moon that had risen in the sky, Lu Zhen finally decided to rest on the spot for a night in this still open flat land. As soon as he gave the order, the soldiers moved quickly, and quickly set up the several tents they had with them, and some men with bows and arrows went around in search of prey and water.

Most of these people were scouts, and this thing was completely familiar to them, so they didn't need to be commanded, and everything was already in order.

When Lu Jin saw it, he unconsciously had a satisfied smile on his face, and at the same time he was a little regretful, after all, they could only follow themselves to the capital, and then they went their separate ways. Otherwise, if there are really such people under his command, he will have to worry a lot in the future. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile to himself, he was really a little inflated, a small county order, and he actually delusionally thought that there could be so many soldiers who could obey the dispatch at any time? This is a goal that even the prefect of the ordinary four grades can't achieve!

Just as he was thinking about it, Li Xian walked over with a freshly baked steamed bun: "My lord, please use it." ”

"Thank you." Lu Zhen nodded at him, looked around again, and found that the two women and the other soldiers had something to eat, so they picked up the somewhat dry bun and nibbled on it.

But Li Xian did not leave, but suddenly said with a solemn expression: "My lord, the little one found something strange around here, and it seems that some danger is approaching us." ”

"Huh?" Lu Zhen glanced at the other party with some puzzlement, and said that the master who has been on the battlefield for a long time has a premonition of danger that exceeds ordinary people, is this also ordinary?

Li Xian's eyes looked at the dark mountains and forests around him very vigilantly: "My lord, listen carefully, do you hear anything?" ”

Lu Zhen listened quietly to his words, but he didn't hear anything, so he shook his head blankly: "I can't hear anything, is there something I have ignored?" ”

I didn't want Li Xian to nod vigorously: "Not hearing anything is the key to the problem." It's summer, and even at night, there should be insects chirping. But now, I can't hear the slightest sound of insects around. ”

Only then did Lu Zhen understand: "What do you mean?" ”

"I'm afraid there's something that scares bugs around...... As far as I know, those thieves in the mountains and forests have always had the habit of applying insect repellent drugs because they have been in the mountains for a long time! ”

"What do you mean...... Are these people watching around us? ”

"Exactly! I'm afraid it's not good. Li Xian's expression was grim: "We have twenty soldiers here, and the other party should be able to see it, but they still dare to lean over, which means that they have the confidence to eat us." ”

Lu Jin's face also became serious: "Then what should I do?" "Although he once commanded the battle at the head of Guangling City, it was only encouragement at most, and when it came to using soldiers, he obviously wouldn't.

"I have to stick to it. As long as we don't show our flaws, those thieves shouldn't dare to attack easily. Li Xian said, glancing at Lu Zhen with some hesitation. He originally wanted to persuade Lu Zhen to leave immediately, but in the end he gave up this idea, after all, the terrain here is complicated, and the danger of going out alone will only be greater.

"Fortunately, Xiao sent a person to find Wu Kui after yesterday, and they rushed to converge, with their footsteps, they will definitely be able to arrive here at dawn tomorrow, and they will not be afraid of these thieves." Li Xian mentioned it again as if comfortingly.

Lu Zhen glanced at the other party, but he didn't expect him to have this arrangement, and he didn't even know about it. But he wasn't angry, this kind of security matter, he really didn't know as much as a scout captain. But then, he frowned again: "I'm afraid that passive sticking to it may not be a proper way." If there are enough of them, how long will you be able to keep it for twenty or so? ”

"What do you mean?" Li Xian asked with some confusion.

Lu Jin's eyes flashed, and a plan had come to his mind, and he slowly explained it to Li Xian.

@@@@@

As Li Xian had speculated, at this moment, in the dense forest less than a mile away from Lu Jin's station, there were hundreds of stout men with different clothes and weapons, but all of them had fierce faces.

This group of people is the strongmen of Crouching Tiger Village, who have been entrenched in the Wuhui Mountains and have been growing stronger by taking advantage of the fact that the two government governments are not able to do it because of their jurisdiction.

Of course, this growth is also a statement. Although the number sounds quite bluffing, there are enough of 200 people, but in fact, there are only more than 100 people who can really fight. And half of the weapons in their hands were the simplest hoes and clubs, not to mention the horses that could be used to cross the country.

In order to further expand his power, Liu Heihu, as the owner of the village, had no idea of getting horses and weapons. Guojiazhuang, as a local tyrant, has a close relationship with Crouching Tiger Village, and now he offered to get a batch of horses for them, Liu Heihu immediately agreed to their request, and dispatched the brothers in the village to intercept and kill Lu Zhen and his party who entered the mountain.

When he received the report from his spies and knew that there were more than 20 people in Lu Jin's party, and most of them were wearing weapons, Liu Heihu knew that this matter was indeed a bit tricky. But for the sake of that little benefit, he had no choice but to give it a go. As for what the identity of the other party was, he hadn't thought about it carefully at all, and the people who traveled between the two provinces and were killed by him in Crouching Tiger Village and buried in this deep mountain were not a hundred or eighty, and he didn't care about adding a few more lives.

However, after surrounding and seeing those soldiers camping in an orderly manner, Liu Heihu hesitated again. The other party's behavior seems to be well-trained, and if he kills him directly, I'm afraid the casualties of the brothers will be indispensable. That was the foundation of his foothold here, and he really didn't want to cause too many casualties unless he had to.

So after thinking about it, Liu Heihu decided to lie down temporarily, wait until these guys are asleep, and then launch a surprise attack on them, killing all the people inside in one fell swoop.

Liu Heihu's wish soon became a reality. After a busy while, because of the hard work, the guys all went back to their places to rest. And what made him even happier was that the other party actually got into the tent, and there was not even a vigil outside.

"You're looking for your own death! Otherwise, we would have to think of a way to solve the vigil silently first, and now it saves a lot of effort! A cold murderous intent swept from the corner of his scarred mouth.

After waiting for another half an hour, it was almost three watches, and after feeling that those fat sheep should fall asleep, Liu Heihu pulled out the knife inserted in the soil and pointed towards the camp below: "Quietly lean over, and then slaughter them all!" Remember, if we only kill the men, the women inside will have to change our horses. ”

The surrounding bandits all smiled and nodded, and quickly ran towards the camp below with various weapons.

The trail here is actually quite steep, and there are roots and vines everywhere, so you can trip over if you are not careful. But the fellows saw it as if it were flat ground, and quickly rushed down the hill and quickly into the camp.

It wasn't until they rushed to the tents that someone shouted, raised the long pickaxe in his hand, and slashed inside.

But at this moment, a mutation suddenly occurred!

A sharp arrow flew out of the low-hanging curtain with a whistling wind, and shot the robber to the ground.

And just when the bandits were stunned, feathered arrows continued to fly out of several other tents. These arrows were so powerful that with only a short whistling, they were nailed into the vital point of one person, and in the blink of an eye, no less than ten people fell under the cold arrows that suddenly flew out.

Screams and exclamations suddenly resounded in the camp: "Oh no, we have fallen for the trick, this is a trap!" ”

This scream was accompanied by an even denser rain of arrows, and several more people fell in pools of blood. This result obviously greatly surprised the bandits, and after they were stunned for a moment, they reflexively retreated......
