Chapter 302: Cause and Effect
Hou Jian waited for ten days, and finally let him wait. In order not to startle the snake, they can neither get too close nor too far away. Shrinking in the valley three miles away, he sent people to wait, and it was not until he saw Su Ren's horse team that Hou Jian breathed a sigh of relief.
Hou Si handed Hou Jian a water bag: "Master, when will we start?" ”
Hou Jian took a sip of water: "Send someone to see if they camp according to our expectations, Su Ren's subordinates also have some skills, our number is too small, it's better to be careful." ”
Hou Si nodded: "I'll go down and make arrangements!" After taking two steps, he glanced back at Hou Jian, and swallowed back the words when they came to his mouth.
Hou Jianzai carefully ate the dry food he brought, for so many days, in order to conceal his whereabouts, his team has never left here. Eat dry food when you are hungry, and drink some mountain springs when you are thirsty. The environment of the valley is good, surrounded by dense woods, the scorching sun does not shine into it at all, but unfortunately it rains all the time. Big raindrops drip from the thick leaves, and no matter how good the coat is, it is useless.
Hou Jian eats a pot helmet, which is a dry pancake. This is a dry food invented by the Qin people, in which wheat flour is spread out and placed on a hot stone slab, and roasted over a high fire underneath. The dough is baked and called a pot helmet. This dry food is shelf-stable, starvation-resistant, and can be swallowed with a bowl of plain water without special cooking methods. When the army of the Qin State unified the six countries, the army relied on this dry food to complete the supply of thousands of miles.
The pot helmet can be left for a long time, and after being soaked in rainwater, it becomes a loose flour form when held in the hand. Hou Jian put the flour in a ball, stuffed it into his mouth, and swallowed it with a big sip of water. A few years ago, Hou Jianshan treasured the sea, and it was a luxury to be able to eat a hot meal over the years.
Swallowing the dough with his eyes open, Hou Si, who had arranged the matter, had already returned, holding a roasted pheasant in his hand, sprinkled with a touch of salt, and could smell the fragrance from a distance. Holding it to Hou Jian with both hands, he smiled slightly: "Master, can you eat this?" ”
"Where did it come from?"
"A few guys went up the mountain to fight, and they made a fire at the mouth of the valley and barbecued, and I found ......"
"What about people?" Hou Jian stood up suddenly, and both eyes could be on fire.
"Master, they didn't mean it, we stayed here for several days, if we don't have some meat to replenish, we won't have the strength!"
"What? Others do the same? ”
Hou Si knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he quickly shut up.
"Go get those two guys here!" Hou Jian swallowed the dough in his hand in a big gulp, his face was full of black lines, and his eyes were murderous.
Hou Si hesitated for a moment, and Hou Jian yelled again: "They are all soldiers, if they don't listen to orders, they should be punished!" ”
"No!"
The two soldiers knelt on the ground and looked at Hou Jian pitifully. They are not the first people to be punished by Hou Jian, in their eyes, Hou Jian is very perverted, as long as he gives an order, no matter who disobeys a little, it will be a severe beating, and a serious direct beheading. Since the people followed Hou Jian, three people have been beheaded, and the rest of the people have not been punished.
"Wait! We won't dare next time! ”
"Humph! Next time? Disobey the military order and deserve to be beheaded! Come on, slash! ”
"Soldier Wait for your life!" The two knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
Hou Si also said: "Master, the big war is coming, we are already short of manpower, if we ......, wouldn't we weaken ourselves?" ”
Hou Jian glared at Hou Si: "What?" Do you want to disobey orders too? ”
"The villain doesn't dare!"
"Humph! Pull it down, slash! ”
The two soldiers were dragged out of the woods, no screams or wails, and the valley was silent. Looking at these two bloody human heads, Hou Jian ordered: "Let's do it tonight, many of Su Ren's subordinates used to be mountain bandits, don't underestimate it, if you guess correctly, they have already discovered us at this time." ”
"Master, the person sent said that Su Ren was already prepared, isn't it ...... to do it tonight?"
Hou Jian clenched his fists, and he was very angry at Hou Si's continuous questions. As the person he trusts the most, in front of a group of outsiders, he constantly questions himself, Hou Jian must not tolerate it. Use all the strength of your body to suppress your anger: "Execution!" If you don't do it tonight, you won't have a chance. ”
After dinner, Su Ren walked around the camp, and everyone was lazy. No one cares about the battle that is coming without warning. The location of their camp is very good, and anyone who dares to sneak up on them will die miserably.
Hawking was leading the black horse and was walking the horse, which was the method that Ke Muzhi taught him. For a companion who carries himself to the battlefield, it takes time to be with him. Walking horses is Hawking's best companion for dark horses. Gently stroking the horse's mane and watching the black horse leisurely gnaw on the dewy grass, Hawking had a satisfied smile on his face.
patted Hawking on the shoulder, Su Ren frowned, turned over and glanced at the leisurely guard: "You come with me!" ”
Hawking smiled slightly: "Wait until I walk the black wind!" ”
"Right now!" Su Ren's gaze was firm, even a little stern.
"Oh!" Hawking nodded helplessly, and walked towards the temporary stable with the black wind.
Su Ren took a deep breath, shook his head and went back to his tent. Sitting on the chair, Huang Shisan hurriedly served tea. Su Ren didn't mean to drink, he clasped his hands on his chest and didn't know what he was thinking.
Hawking came in with a smile on his face: "Big brother, what's the matter?" In such a hurry? ”
Su Ren glared at Hawking: "That's how you led the troops?" Didn't take my words to heart? ”
"Big brother, you see, our camp is very well established, the place is very good, and the layout is also very good, who will come to sneak attack?"
"Whoever it is? Since I'm your leader, you have to listen to me! ”
"But there is no shadow, why bother to make the chicken and dog restless?"
"You still think my worries are unnecessary?" Su Ren raised his hand and threw a bamboo slip at Hawking's feet: "See for yourself!" If you don't know it, swallow it whole! ”
Hawking looked at Su Ren aggrievedly, and then at Huang Shisan, and then picked up the bamboo slip at his feet. Follow Leng Jun to learn martial arts, follow Leng Yue to learn to read and write, there are only a dozen words on the bamboo slips, and Hawking knows them all: "Huainan country assassin, in the southeast Sanli Valley!" ”
"Ahh Hawking was shocked: "They are really around us!" ”
Su Ren snorted coldly: "Now you know what my arrangement is, right?" ”
Hawking nodded again and again: "I'm going to let those guys cheer up and do what my big brother tells me!" ”
"Come back!" Su Ren stood up: "Suspect the leader's order, your team leader does not obey it, according to the military order, you should be killed!" ”
"Big brother!" Hawking's eyes widened. Huang Shisan also looked at Su Ren.
Su Ren continued: "Remember your first offense, write it down for the time being, but the capital crime can be avoided and the living crime is unforgivable, and after tonight, I will go and get thirty military sticks!" Go ahead! ”
Hawking hurriedly clenched his fists: "No! ”
The night breeze rises, and the dew rises. Surrounded by mountains, the climate is already mild, and the sun shines on the day, raising the water on the ground, and a small plain is shrouded in mist. There were no bonfires in the camp, and the lights were also extinguished in all the tents, Su Ren sat in the dark and quietly listened to the movement outside, Huang Shisan and Liu Gao stood on both sides of Su Ren. The three people did not have any expression on their faces, they were waiting for the results.
Suddenly, there was a great movement in the camp to the east. The sound of bows and crossbows and weapons sounded, and Su Ren's brows furrowed even deeper. Huang Shisan clutched the big axe in his hand tightly and looked around the tent vigilantly.
The shouts were very quiet, barely audible from hiding in the middle of the camp, with the occasional muffled snort and screaming coming in. Hawking and his men are constantly sniping strangers who want to break into the camp, and those people are so fast that they will miss their targets if they are not careful. It was only a short hundred steps from the woods to the camp, and in the blink of an eye, it had been attacked by others.
Throwing away the bow and crossbow in his hand and drawing out his long sword, Hawking shouted loudly: "There are not many of them, they form a three-person formation, and they must not let one go!" ”
Thirty guards immediately formed ten small groups and crossed the line of shelves and mingled with the enemy from the opposite side. Under the shadow of the sword and sword, no one could see who was on the other side, whether it was the enemy or the enemy who first slashed a sword, and then judged whether it was the enemy or their own people from the force and technique of the long sword falling.
Hou Jian was blocked by Hou Si, and several times he tried to cross Hou Si without success, and kicked Hou Si away with a fierce kick: "Continue to attack, as long as you rush to within ten steps, immediately set fire!" ”
"Master, I'm afraid there aren't many of us left!" Hou Si hurriedly got up from the ground and grabbed Hou Jian: "Let's go, right?" Su Ren is prepared! ”
"Let's go?" Hou Jian laughed miserably: "Can you still leave at this time?" ”
The shouts of killing also came from behind, and Hou Jian's people were attacked from both sides. Thirty well-trained guards, plus twenty ruthless assassins. Hou Jian's soldiers couldn't resist it at all. Listening to the screams in my ears, I felt that my opponent was getting closer and closer to me. Hou Jian shook off Hou Si and rushed forward in great strides.
There was a pain in his lower abdomen, and the coldness from his back poured into his body. Hou Jian wanted to turn back, but he felt that his neck was no longer on his shoulders, and he felt good and relaxed at this moment.
"The host ......! Yes! These were the last three words Hou Jian heard, and it was dark in front of him, and he couldn't see anything.
From late at night until the darkness before dawn. Su Ren didn't receive any news from the east, picked up the herbal tea in front of him, and took a sip gently: "Lao Liu, change me a cup of hot tea!" ”
Liu Gao hurriedly went to pour tea for Su Ren. The sound of fighting outside the tent had stopped, and Su Ren's tense body also relaxed, let out a sigh of relief, and called Liu Gao, who had walked to the entrance of the tent, back: "Forget it, I don't drink anymore, I'm a little tired, you all go out, I want to rest for a while." ”
Lying on the bed, Su Ren couldn't sleep for a long time. As soon as he closed his eyes, he was Hou Jian's shadow. I remember the first time I saw Hou Jian, Hou Jian's chubby body was full of smiles, although he was a little arrogant, he was also a person who came according to the rules, why did he become ruthless now?
