As soon as the two of them hid, they saw a person riding a horse running up the mountain, Shi Luosheng made a gesture towards Liu Zixuan, Liu Zixuan nodded knowingly, and suddenly jumped out of the grass and shouted: "Stop." ”

The visitor was startled, hurriedly grabbed the reins, and was about to ask who was in the way, when suddenly his head was hit by something, and he fell off his horse, and at the same time a steel knife was also on his neck.

Shi Luosheng said with a smile: "It seems that today's luck is not bad, this is a herald, let me search it and see if there is anything valuable on my body." ”

Shi Luosheng searched for a document from the herald, the content of which was addressed to Chen Cheng, which read: "Yan envoy Peng Youcheng will arrive in Yuzhou City tomorrow, and ambush them when they pass through Xishan, intercept and kill them all, leaving no one alive." ”

Shi Luosheng asked with some curiosity: "There has been no hostility between Chu and Yan, and they often joined forces to fight our Great Song Dynasty in the past two years, so why do you want to intercept and kill their envoys now?" ”

Seeing that the documents had been searched, the herald knew that he would not escape death, and did not answer Shi Luosheng's question, so he slashed his neck directly on the knife and committed suicide.

Liu Zixuan couldn't help but admire: "It's a pity, this is still a man." It's just that I didn't expect that the Chu army actually came to intercept and kill the envoy of the Yan State, what should we do next? ”

Shi Luosheng lowered his head and thought about it: "We only arrived at the barracks yesterday, and we don't know what the purpose of the envoy of the Yan Kingdom is when they come to Yuzhou, so we can't act rashly. You first take this document back to General Wu and ask him to make a decision. I went back to the mountain to find Dong Tou and them, we already know the purpose of the Chu army's coming, and there is no need for them to stay on the mountain and continue their adventure. We'll split up, and you'll be sure to get back to Yuzhou before dawn, and you'll be left for a few hours. ”

Liu Zixuan said: "I understand, it just so happened that this guy sent the horse, and I rode back." Be careful yourself. As he spoke, he rode the war horse left by the herald and headed towards Yuzhou, while Shi Luosheng returned to the mountain alone to find Dong Hai and his party.

Back to the place where he and Dong Hai were separated just now, it was empty, but there were obvious traces of a fight on the ground. Shi Luosheng followed the trail all the way, and didn't go far before he heard the sound of a fight in front of him.

Looking up, I saw Dong Hai and the others surrounded by a Chu army detachment of more than 20 people. There are still a few people walking on the ground, and they don't know whether they are alive or dead. There were originally eleven people on Dong Hai's side, but now there are only eight left, most of them are still injured, Dong Hai is also covered in blood, and the situation is precarious.

Shi Luosheng didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly swung his sword to join the battle group, although he had only followed Ling Zhen to learn the kung fu of the Heavenly Sword Gate for half a year, it was not a problem to clean up a few ordinary soldiers.

Shi Luosheng wielded a steel knife like chopping melons and vegetables, and with a cup of tea, he and Dong Hai killed the Chu army together, and Li Hou'er, Fang Lin and others on Dong Hai's side were also killed.

It turned out that not long after Shi Luosheng left, the Chu army on the top of the mountain found that the soldiers on the sentry were all killed, Chen Cheng sent several teams out to search the mountain, Dong Hai and they were discovered by one of the small teams, so there was the scene that Shi Luosheng saw just now.

Dong Hai saw that the stone fell and returned, and asked strangely, "Why did you come back again?" What about Liu Zixuan? ”

Shi Luosheng also told Dong Hai what had just happened, and asked why the Chu army wanted to intercept and kill the envoy of Yan State.

Dong Hai is just a scout, and he doesn't know anything about these diplomatic matters.

Shi Luosheng pondered for a moment and said, "Although we don't know why the Chu army intercepted and killed the envoy of the Yan State? But no matter what, it is always right for us to sabotage this operation of the Chu army, Zixuan has already rushed back to tell General Wu, there will definitely be some action on the Yuzhou side, even if we return to Yuzhou now, it is too late to go back to Yuzhou, it is better to simply go down the mountain to find the envoys of Yan State, tell them the plan of the Chu army, and then wait for General Wu to lead the army to respond. ”

Dong Hai couldn't think of a better way for a while, so he had to agree to Shi Luosheng's suggestion. A group of nine people retreated down the mountain, and when they reached the foot of the mountain, they found that the remaining 800 people of the Chu army had arrived and were stationed at the intersection of the mountain, blocking the way for Shi Luosheng and others to go down the mountain.

Dong Hai scolded a little impatiently: "These grandsons don't come early, they don't come late, they just come when we go down the mountain." What can I do now, the way down the mountain is also blocked by them, and if you go down the mountain at other intersections, you will get tomorrow noon at the earliest, and the time is too late. ”

Shi Luosheng frowned and comforted: "Dong Tou, don't worry, this Chu army has just arrived, and it will definitely send someone up the mountain to inform Chen Cheng on the mountain, after all, Chen Cheng is the commander of this army." Let's go to the front to lay an ambush first, wait for the person who is going up the mountain to be caught, and then try to find a way from him to see if we can go down the mountain. ”

Dong Hai slapped his thigh and said with great joy: "Good idea, Brother Shi, you still have a way, from now on the eight of us will obey your command." ”

Shi Luosheng hurriedly excused himself and said: "This is not good, Dong Tou, you are the commander of the ten, I am just a recruit who has only come for a day, my command is not suitable, it is better for you to command." ”

Dong Hai waved his hand: "Don't shirk it, if you hadn't arrived in time just now, the lives of the eight of us would have to be confessed here today." Now I can see that only you have the means to take us out and complete the task, they are all my good brothers, I won't mind you commanding, give the order boldly. ”

Xue Fei and the other seven people also expressed their agreement, and Shi Luosheng saw that everyone had no opinion, so he no longer shirked, and took everyone to the intersection in front of him to ambush, preparing to attack the Chu army on the mountain.

After waiting for a long time, I heard the sound of horses' hooves. The leader should be a lieutenant from the point of view of his clothing, followed by four guards.

Shi Luosheng learned two bird calls in the direction of Dong Hai, and Dong Hai, who was wearing the uniform of the Chu army, walked out from the front, clasped his hands into fists and said to the leading captain: "See the general, General Chen asked me to go down the mountain to answer, he is waiting for the general on the mountain." ”

The leading lieutenant looked at the person in front of him wearing the military uniform of the Chu army, and thought it was his own person, so he didn't care too much: "Okay, you lead the way in front, and we will go up the mountain now." ”

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh......

Before the words fell, he heard the sound of bows and crossbows all around, and the four guards were shot by arrows and fell off their horses, and the captain secretly screamed in his heart, and dodged two arrows sideways, and the man also jumped off his horse, drew the long sword he carried with him, and prepared to meet the enemy.

Dong Hai, who didn't want to stand in front, also took out a bow and crossbow and shot at him, the captain was caught off guard, and was hit by two arrows in his body, if it wasn't for Shi Luosheng's explanation in advance that he couldn't hurt his life, Dong Hai would shoot him directly.

Shi Luosheng and the others, who were ambushed on both sides, also took the opportunity to kill, first ended up with four guards who were hit by arrows, and then nine people besieged the leading captain together. Although the captain's martial arts are not weak, he has just been injured by an arrow, and he can't stand the large number of people on Shi Luosheng's side, and he has to beware of the cold arrows released from time to time on the opposite side. After a few rounds, he was captured by Shi Luosheng.

"Who the hell are you guys and how did you end up here?" The leading lieutenant was a little indignant.

Shi Luosheng smiled and said: "General, are you in a wrong situation, now you are a prisoner, how can a prisoner ask questions first, you first tell me who you are?" ”

The leading lieutenant said: "I am Tian Qin, the captain under General Chen Cheng, are you Song soldiers?" ”

Shi Luosheng said: "We are just hunters nearby, we came to the mountain to hunt yesterday, and we went far away on a whim, forgetting the time to go down the mountain, and when we remember to rush back, it has already reached this hour." I walked to the foot of the mountain just now, and I was about to go down the mountain and saw that the way down the mountain had been blocked by your Chu army, and we captured you alive so that you could take us down the mountain, I don't know if the general can meet our request? If not, we will not dare to keep you, lest you come to us for revenge in the future. ”

Tian Qin thought to himself: "You guys are stupid to be Lao Tzu, you went to the mountains to hunt yesterday, and you won't go back at night?" Besides, that person just shouted the name of General Chen Cheng, how could ordinary Orion know General Chen's name, this group of people is Song Jun, they don't admit it, I won't expose it, it's not a big deal to let them go as ordinary Orions. If I don't let them go, they'll have to kill me, it's not a good deal. ”

Thinking of this, Tian Qin already had an idea, he stood up, patted the soil on his body, and said with a slight complaint: "There is no problem with taking you down the mountain, since it is a nearby hunter, why didn't you say it earlier, I just let you go down the mountain, why make such a big move, and kill my four brothers." ”

Tian Qin took Shi Luosheng and his party back to the barracks, and when they were about to arrive at the barracks, Shi Luosheng hid the crossbow arrows in his sleeve and reminded: "General Tian, the front is to your territory, after sending us out of the barracks, I have to trouble you to send us a little longer, and after I confirm that it is safe, I will naturally let you go." By the way, I'll follow you, don't look back, and don't move too much, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings, at such a close distance, I shoot you with a bow and crossbow, you shouldn't be able to dodge. ”

"Hmph, don't worry, I still cherish my life very much." Tian Qin replied.

After entering the Chu camp, Tian Qin behaved quite well, and he didn't know if he was afraid that his movements would be too big and cause Shi Luosheng's misunderstanding. Although the soldiers of the Chu camp wondered how their captain had brought back a group of strangers, no one dared to ask. Shi Luosheng and his entourage swaggered away from Xishan under the nose of the Chu army.

Dong Hai didn't expect it to come out so easily, and shouted excitedly: "Brother Shi, you really have you, you really brought us out, we owe you another life, what can be used in the future, brothers, you just ask." ”

Shi Luosheng said: "Dong Tou, don't say that. The sky is about to dawn, and we have to hurry up to find the envoy of the Yan Kingdom. ”
