The sound of horses' hooves clattered, and Chen Yanguan and the others climbed back into the tree again. This time Zhou Cheng changed his position, he moved to the outskirts of the dense forest, and he was sure that there would be scouts passing here.

Sure enough, he was not disappointed, and a Turkic scout rode towards here. It was a small Turkic man who was leaning on his horse's back and constantly looking around.

Zhou Cheng knew that the reason why this guy made this move was that he was afraid of being secretly attacked with a bow and arrow, but he didn't expect that there would be so many people lying on his stomach.

The Turkic scouts were all in groups of three, each with a pillar of incense between them. Zhou Cheng had to make good use of this time, otherwise once it was exposed, all of them would suffer together.

The Turkic scouts approached little by little, and Zhou Cheng noticed these people for a long time. Knowing that the other party would definitely pass by here, and when the other party walked under the tree, Zhou Cheng directly jumped down the mountain towards the Turkic cavalry with a flying tiger.

This action made Chen Yan on the side stunned, if he jumped down like this, he could indeed take down the other party's scout, but it was definitely to alarm the war horse under the crotch, and it would not still be exposed when the time came?

But in the next second, Zhou Cheng's descending speed was sudden, and then the whole person slammed his force on the trunk, and his body went around to the left side of the scout.

At this time, Chen Yanguan saw clearly that Zhou Cheng was still holding a rope in his hand. It was with the help of the pendulum of the rope that he could fly close to the horse's back.

Almost instantly, Zhou Cheng grabbed the scout on the horse, and with a slight twist of his hand, the other party had already broken his neck directly. This series of actions took less than two breaths.

When Chen Yanguan reacted, he saw that the scout was kicked down by Zhou Cheng. At the same time, several more people quickly came down from the trees on the other side, and they grabbed the corpse of the Turkic scout. Three times five divided by two, the other party was stripped of their essence.

During this time, Zhou Cheng, like the Turkic scout, was already tightly attached to the horse. It can be said that he didn't even notice the horse on his back, and his body had been replaced by someone else.

Those who stripped naked quickly took their clothes and trotted with Zhou Cheng. They maintained the same speed as the horses and handed the clothes in their hands to Zhou Cheng.

Then, by the time Zhou Cheng walked out of the dense forest, he had completely turned into a Turkic appearance.

Look at the hapless Turkic scout, who is no longer dragging anywhere. Even Chen Yanguan didn't find out when the person who handed Zhou Cheng the clothes before disappeared.

It was only at this time that he knew how terrible Qin Ze was. These guys, who were robbers a month ago, have become so terrifying now.

Chen Yanguan couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, he knew that if it was himself on horseback, he was afraid that he would also end up with that scout.

Silence returned to the dense forest, and the wind was still there, but no one knew that in an instant, a Turkic scout had been buried here.

But now was not the time to rejoice, for the second scout had already walked up. This is the most dangerous time, whether he can sneak into Xishan depends on whether Zhou Cheng can deceive these people.

Outside the dense forest, Zhou Cheng had already turned his horse's head and began to approach Xi Mountain. The second scout on the other side also greeted him.

Because it was too far away, Chen Yanguan couldn't see what the situation was, so he saw Zhou Cheng make a few gestures to that person, and then approached Xi Shan openly.

At this moment, Chen Yanguan was completely stunned, and he could see that Zhou Cheng was indeed talking to the scout. But......

How could he be a Turkic gesture?

Zhou Cheng didn't actually understand what this gesture meant, but he had been studying it all day before lying on the tree. So I don't know what this gesture means, but I know how to coax the other party.

Because both sides are attached to the horseback, it gives Zhou Cheng great convenience. He lowered the brim of his hat so that only one pair of eyes was exposed, so that the other party would not notice his abnormality.

Then came the most dangerous time, and Zhou Cheng did not drive the horse under his crotch, but let it go forward on its own.

The old horse knows the way, and he knows that it can take him where he needs to go. He carried a scimitar knife in his arms, which was given to them by Qin Ze, and the people of the fifth squad each had one.

Qin Ze even promised them that after Lingzhou settled down, he would ask the Ordnance Supervisor to give each of them a set of weapons.

This is the most attractive thing for Zhou Cheng and them. Don't say anything else, let's just say that the scimitar knife in his hand doesn't know how many long knives he has cut off and how many times he has saved his life.

But now is not the time to think about this, Zhou Cheng settled down, and the war horse under his crotch had already taken him closer to the foot of Xi Mountain.

Once here, everything was left to fate, but luckily there was a Turkic scout who had returned in front of him.

Zhou Cheng slowly approached and followed behind the other party. He kept his head down, but his eyes were looking around for a place to escape.

The war horse carried Zhou Cheng upward, and along the way he found at least three secret sentinels, each with at least a hundred people.

Maybe it's the peculiarity of the scouts, so no one has questioned Zhou Cheng along the way. But as the horses advanced, he was getting closer and closer to the Turkic base camp, which was a flat area halfway up the mountainside, bustling with hundreds of large tents.

This should be their base camp, and the scouts in front of them also slowed down when they arrived here, and then dismounted and walked towards the base camp. There were Turkic soldiers patrolling all around, and it was impossible for Zhou Cheng to escape at this time, so he could only dismount with him.

He tried his best to pretend to be normal, but intentionally or unintentionally avoided the gazes of others......

On the other side, Zhang Bao on the north side of Xishan Mountain is in a better situation, because the ground is crisscrossed by the rain erosion, so they can easily hide in it. Like Chen Yanguan, they also dug a hole in the soil and hid the horses in it.

Qin Ze's order to them was to dig a trench here, but now there is no way to dig a trench. From yesterday to now, two groups of Turkic soldiers have passed through here, and there are thousands of them, at least.

Therefore, where do they dare to show their heads now, they can only hide in this ravine.

"What about Lord Brigade? Do you want to escape at night? One of the team members came out and asked.

Zhang Bao raised his eyebrows, and he was almost about to go berserk. He has always been brave in his life, where has he escaped.

"Tell me to go down and dig a hole in the ground here from tonight. Don't dig too deep, if the Turks really send troops, they will directly blow up the hole with gunpowder shells. ”

He thought very simply, since digging a trench in the ground was easy to find, dig a hole in the ground. When the gunpowder explodes, the soil cave will collapse directly, isn't it the same as a trench?

Digging a hole is not a task that makes it difficult for them to do it, if it weren't for the fact that there are no branches nearby, Zhang Bao still wants to bury some traps in the hole or something, but for now, it can only be like this.

Lingzhou City's troops returned two hours later. At the same time, it also brought bad news, the vicinity of Xishan was already full of Turkic scouts.

They were only ten miles away from Xishan before they had to retreat. This news is undoubtedly more urgent for Qin Ze.

However, since the other party only sent scouts, it means that Chen Yanguan and them have not yet been discovered.

"Well, I have to go to the horse market this time anyway. Since the other party appeared in Xishan, no matter what the idea is, he will not easily withdraw his troops. It would be detrimental to us if we were allowed to continue to increase our troops like this. ”

Qin Ze smiled bitterly, in fact, he had another problem. That is, he must sell the tea leaves of the Taiyuan Chamber of Commerce within two months, so this time the horse market with the Xitu tribe is also particularly important.

If you can't take this opportunity to bring butter tea to the Turks, it will be even more difficult to wait until the war is together.

He has asked Wang Fu and them to make a large amount of butter tea, which has a long shelf life and is not worried about going bad.

All butter teas are packed in fine porcelain and then wrapped in ornate silk. Qin Ze, who knows the psychology of people's shopping, never planned to do civilian business from the beginning.

As long as the tongues of the Turkic nobles can be captured, then this thing will quickly spread among the common people.

That's how strange the herd mentality is.

And if this thing is oriented to the common people from the beginning, then it is very likely that those Turkic dignitaries will think that this thing is just a vulgar thing, and it will be much more difficult to implement it at that time.

Wang Fu and the others have made more than 300 bottles of butter tea at once in the past few days, Qin Ze didn't plan to bring too much, he planned to bring ten bottles first when he traded tomorrow.

However, there is a premise for all this, that is, the safety of Xishan must be ensured.

And in order to ensure this security, Zhou Cheng is now getting closer and closer to the Turkic camp.

He followed closely behind the man in front of him, listening carefully to the conversation between the other man and the man in front of the tent.

He didn't understand, but in times of crisis, the potential of people is endless. Zhou Cheng memorized every pronunciation of the other party, and he only hoped that the other party would be able to ask the same question.

"How? Is everything normal? When he arrived in Zhou Cheng, the Turk in front of him asked with a smile.

Because this is the base camp, his vigilance is minimized.

Zhou Cheng lowered his voice, shrugged his shoulders and repeated the words of the previous person indifferently.

Fortunately in misfortune, Zhou Cheng's words were right.

Because of this, the man nodded at Zhou Cheng and let him in. From beginning to end, that person never doubted Zhou Cheng, after all, no one dared to really get in.

Zhou Cheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the purpose of infiltrating this time had been achieved, and the next thing was how to leave.

He did not dare to go any further, because he was not familiar with the Turkic tents at all, and if he went on rashly, if he made a mistake, he would definitely arouse the suspicion of others.

Thinking so in his heart, Zhou Cheng began to move towards the side of Xi Mountain. The terrain is gentle, overgrown with shrubs. If you go down from here, you can only hide until night, and you should be able to escape.

But just when Zhou Cheng was about to find a chance to go down, a pair of hands suddenly put on his shoulders.

"Tielett, will you come with us for some dinner?"
