The first element of scouting is to hide oneself and never have too many mood swings at any given time.

This is Qin Ze's original words, and Zhou Cheng feels that it is very appropriate to use it here. was suddenly put on the shoulder, so that Zhou Cheng almost didn't directly take out the scimitar knife in his arms.

But then he quickly calmed down, if he did it here, he wouldn't be able to get out, and it would definitely arouse the vigilance of the Turks, and once the Turks increased their search nearby, I am afraid that Chen Yanguan and Zhang Bao would not be able to escape.

"Calm down! Calm down, I'm a Turkic scout. ”

Zhou Cheng bit the tip of his tongue and tried desperately to calm himself down, and then slowly let go of the hand that was stretched into his arms.

"Tielett, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that Zhou Cheng didn't speak for so long, the Turk was also a little suspicious.

His voice was a little loud, and the nearby Turks had already turned their eyes to him. Zhou Cheng knew that if he didn't speak again, the other party would most likely be going to face each other.

At this moment of crisis, Zhou Cheng had an idea. He shrugged his shoulders and turned his head to pretend to go with the man.

It's just that when he turned his head halfway, he suddenly covered his stomach. Then he gasped.

Maybe it was the heavens that took pity on Zhou Cheng, and a loud stinky fart was squeezed out of his stomach. Immediately, the person behind him retreated again and again, and Zhou Cheng also covered his stomach at this time, and bent over into the bushes on the side without saying a word.

He took off his clothes while drilling, and then the Turks also reacted. I saw a Turkic veteran pick up a stone from the ground and throw it towards the place of Zhoucheng.

"Tielett, get out of here, don't get so close to here."

Zhou Cheng screamed in pain, and then began to stumble down the mountain. The Turks behind him thought that he really had diarrhea, so they all looked down the mountain and laughed.

"This stinky boy is really a disgrace to our Tiele tribe, and when he comes up, I have to kick him twice."

Everyone was laughing, and Zhou Cheng had already smoothly stumbled down more than ten meters.

At most, it would be completely dark in an hour, and before that he would have to hide in the mountains.

Fortunately, Xishan is a stone, and the expansion of the perennial tree root system, coupled with the erosion of rain, makes the mountain have many ravines.

It's an opportunity, but it's also a danger. Most of the bushes here are low, so you can't see the road under your feet at all. Just now, Zhou Cheng accidentally stepped on a loose stone and almost didn't fall directly.

After running down for a few dozen meters, Zhou Cheng finally found a suitable hiding place. This is a place where mountain springs flow, and the dark and damp environment makes all kinds of weeds grow around. The low shrubs are well covered and make it a great hiding place.

Zhou Cheng wrapped himself tightly in his clothes, and then he got in. He didn't have much time left, and the Turks in the mountains would soon find out about his disappearance, and it wouldn't be long before someone would come down to look for him.

Although it was June, the spring water on the mountain was still a little cold. In addition, because it is humid all year round, it is covered with slippery moss. So he could only desperately press on a crack next to him to fix himself.

As the minutes passed, the Turkic soldiers on the mountain also realized that something was wrong. They shouted several times down the mountain, but no one responded at all, and the guy who called Zhou Cheng to eat at first was the first to start walking down the mountain.

Don't look at Xishan so big, but there are not many ways to go down the mountain. Moreover, because Zhou Cheng didn't dare to move too much, he was just a hundred meters below the Turkic base camp.

He could feel the sound of rubble scratching through it, and he could hear someone shouting something incessantly.

Zhou Cheng clung to the icy spring water, staring at the darkness in front of him.

He hadn't drunk hot water for a day, and had only eaten a little dry food. So at this time, he was washed by the cold spring water, and he also felt that his body was getting colder and colder, and his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier.

The tip of his tongue was about to be bitten off by him, but the sleepiness kept coming. The shouts above his head had slowly faded away, and he must have not noticed him, and began to look elsewhere again.

Zhou Cheng knew that he had to move his body, otherwise he would definitely lose his strength because of his stiff body.

He felt something move above his head, sounding like some living animal. He knew that this kind of dark and damp place had always been a gathering place for snakes and rats, and Zhou Cheng could only hope that it was not a snake when he closed his eyes.

He shuddered and reached out and grabbed it.

It's hairy, it's a mouse.

Almost instantly, Zhou Cheng twisted the mouse's neck, and then directly bit it with his teeth.

The rat's blood was bloody and smelly, and when swallowed, it was like a knife like the alcohol he had stolen.

He endured the discomfort and sucked the blood out of the mouse. It's very little, but the body has finally warmed up a bit.

The sky grew darker and darker, when the last rays of the setting sun fell into the Western Sea. The last of the Turkic scouts had also left the jungle and began to return to Xishan.

It had been nearly two hours since Zhou Cheng had blended into Xishan, and everyone was looking forward to the discovery of a miracle. But there was nothing in the dense forest in front of him except the sound of the wind.

Chen Yanguan must now make a decision, whether to evacuate like this, or continue to wait.

All the soldiers were exhausted, and the continuous high intensity of vigilance, coupled with hunger, was about to torture them to madness.

Of course, except for those in the fifth squad, these people have been through so long, but they are still in good spirits. Even Chen Yanguan could see a person, and he didn't know where to catch a rabbit at this time. Then several people drank the blood together.

This scene was so shocking that even Chen Yanguan himself couldn't stand it. He only now realized that the fifth squad, which they had previously looked down on, was leaving them behind.

This is not to say how high the Fifth Squad is in combat, but rather the tenacity and ...... they have always shown

Numbness!

Yes, Chen Yanguan prefers to use the word numbness to describe them, they have been trapped here for so long, but these people are still like no one. He couldn't think of any other word than numbness.

"Make a decision, if we don't retreat tonight, we won't have a chance tomorrow when the horse market opens. Let's go back and report the news to the lieutenant first, and then prepare for the death battle with him tomorrow. ”

Chen Yanguan whispered to everyone. There's no point in staying here, it's better to retreat back first to replenish your energy, and then start fighting to the death tomorrow.

"Wait a minute, Team Zhou hasn't come back yet." Cao Chu, the deputy of the fifth squad, spoke.

Chen Yanguan actually didn't like the other party's tone very much, because in his opinion, Zhou Cheng had already died in Xishan.

"In another half an hour, the Turks will send out scouts again. If we don't leave within half an hour, we really won't have a chance. ”

No one likes to discard his comrades, and Chen Yanguan is not willing, but after all, he has to think about the whole team.

"Wait, someone's coming."

As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Chu suddenly stood up, gave a look, and everyone turned over on the tree again.

"It's Team Zhou." One of the outermost soldiers, vaguely recognizable as someone who had come, said in disbelief.

When he heard that Zhou Cheng was back, Chen Yanguan was also stunned. He felt that his life today was a little too unreal, that someone could blend into the Turkic camp and get out of the camp with his whole body!

He was still in a daze, and Cao Chu and the others over there quickly went down the tree. Then he helped Zhou Cheng, who was about to faint, into the dense forest.

Zhou Cheng was already extremely weak at this time, he had been soaking in the ice spring water for almost an hour, if it weren't for his strong belief and a few mice, it was estimated that he would really die there.

It was only a few miles from Xishan to the dense forest, but he walked for half an hour.

Cao Chu quickly took off his clothes, and then changed into clean clothes for him. Then he took out a kettle from his arms, broke some dry food and slowly sent it to Zhou Cheng's mouth.

"Xi Mountain, at the foot of the southeast. Send the Turkic corpses over. ”

Zhou Cheng only finished saying these few words, and the whole person completely fainted.

By the time Chen Yanguan reacted, the two soldiers of the fifth squad had already dressed the previous Turkic scout, and then ran towards Xishan quickly.

"This~"

Chen Yan thought about whether he was too careful, but seeing that the situation in Zhou Cheng was not optimistic, he still ordered everyone to start retreating.

In order to prevent the horses from barking, they have blocked all the horses' mouths. Therefore, the war horse is also hungry enough, leaving two horses for the two people who sent the corpse. Chen Yanguan and his party began to evacuate quickly.

This was the evening of the second day, Qin Ze was holding a willow branch and sitting outside Lingzhou City waiting.

Cheng Chumo and the others also sat on the side, and everyone did not speak. They didn't sleep well in the past two days.

Chen Yanguan and they are all veterans brought out by their old Cheng family, and the meaning to them is naturally extraordinary. If they are folded here like this, it is estimated that Cheng Lao Demon will not let them go.

Fortunately, they waited for it tonight, and in the second half of the night, Chen Yanguan and them finally appeared outside Lingzhou City.

Qin Ze didn't have time to ask, so he took Zhou Cheng to find Sun Simiao. He could see that Zhou Cheng was suffering from the wind and cold, and his forehead was hot. In this era, the wind and cold are life-threatening, and Qin Ze does not dare to act rashly.

As for other things, he didn't care, anyway, everyone had already returned, and the others had their own ways to deal with them.

brought people to Sun Simiao, and the old immortal did not feel the slightest displeasure because he was woken up in the middle of the night.

At the moment, it was the pulse boiling medicine, Qin Ze found some alcohol and wiped it on Zhou Cheng's body. This method made Sun Simiao curious, and Qin Ze also told Sun Simiao about his half-baked knowledge about wind and cold.

Time is pressing, the sky is about to dawn, as soon as the day dawns, Qin Ze and they must go out of the city to face the uncertain life and death of Xi Shan......
