Chapter 47 [Mountain Rain is Coming] (II)
Kaoli and I hid Bird Huo's body in the bushes together, and then returned to the camp as if nothing happened, but my heart was extremely heavy, and it can be inferred from Bird Huo's confession before his death that there is a very high probability that there are still moles in our team, and the first thing I suspect is Ge Feng, after all, since he appeared, we have lost many soldiers in a row. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoYou can't stay here any longer, but if I propose, Ju Wu may not agree, and in the immediate form, I can only explain the situation to the Seventh Princess and let her make a decision.
Walking into Ji and Yue's tent, she was dining under the service of Qi Yan and another palace maid, and there was a hint of surprise in her beautiful eyes when she saw me, but she still pretended to be cold in front of people: "Is there anything wrong with Commander Lu?" ā
I paid my respects according to etiquette before I said, "Your Royal Highness Princess, the minister has something to report to you alone!" ā
Ji and Yue waved their hands, and Qi Yan and the palace maid hurriedly retreated.
She moved lightly to me, and I wanted to stand up, but I heard her sneer: "Unruly guy, who told you to get up?" ā
I smiled and put my arms around her slender waist, and hit her plump buttocks hard, Ji and Yue screamed softly, her beautiful eyes were shining, and her pink fist slammed into my chest in retaliation, I knew that now was not the time to flirt, so I held Ji and Yue's pair of wrists and said softly: "I have something important to tell you this time." ā
Ji and Yue saw my solemn expression and whispered, "What happened?" ā
"One of my men has just been killed!" I didn't tell Ji Youyue the truth about Bird Huo's death, lest she worry too much.
Hi and Yue'Ah! Di exclaimed, and Hua Rong said with a discoloration: "Find out who did it?" ā
I shook my head: "I don't want to publicize this matter, so as not to cause panic within the team, I came to you to give you the order to leave here immediately and advance overnight." ā
Ji and Yuexiu frowned slightly: "Do you suspect that there will be enemies coming?" ā
I nodded.
Ji and Yue said: "Okay, I'll let Ju Wu continue to move forward immediately!" ā
Although Ju Wu was reluctant, he didn't dare to go against Ji and Yue's intentions, so he could only order all the soldiers to pack up and leave immediately, I pushed this matter away, and deliberately pretended to be reluctant: "Commander Ju, we just set up camp, and we are about to set off, don't we want to toss the brothers?" ā
It could be seen that Ju Wu was also very annoyed, and said angrily: "You go to the princess to reason!" ā
The samurai under my command soon found out that Tori Huo was missing, and came to me to report, I smiled indifferently: "I asked him to go to the front to explore the way first, and he will return to the team in a while!" "I easily fooled this matter, and when they asked later, I just said that Bird's way was lost.
Because of the incident with Bird Huo, I ordered Kaoli and Dai Kaishan to guard the Seven Princesses around the car, and pay more attention to the remaining samurai, so as not to have any spies among them.
Ge Feng, who was originally leading the way at the front of the team, slowed down his horse, came to my side, and walked with me, although it was a hard rainy night march, there was still no sorrow on his face, a faint smile rippled, and he said softly: "This seventh princess has a very strange temper, why did you let us rush overnight?" ā
I didn't feel angry and said: "You go and ask Commander Ju, I'm just a deputy, where do I know what's going on." ā
Ge Feng laughed, his eyes looked behind me, and said, "Why didn't you see Bird Huo?" ā
I glanced at him dissatisfied: "There are more than 300 people up and down here, do I have to take care of each one?" My job is to protect the princess, and nothing else is my business! ā
Ge Feng smiled wryly, and he suddenly whispered: "Commander Lu seems to have a prejudice against me, but there is something I still have to discuss with you." ā
I looked ahead with ignorance, and said to myself, "I want to see what tricks you can do!" ā
Ge Feng said in a low voice: "The falling mountain rock is very strange, I am very familiar with the situation here, and I have never seen such a huge mountain rock fall. ā
I was shocked in my heart, and I couldn't help but raise my head to look at him, although I already knew about this matter from Kaoli's mouth, but now that Ge Feng said it himself, I still couldn't help but be shocked, isn't Ge Feng a fellow party of Bird Huo?
Ge Feng said in a low voice: "I dare to conclude that the falling mountain rock must be man-made, it seems that there may be enemies lurking around me." ā
I pretended to be careless and said, "Brother Ge seems to have told Commander Ju about this." ā
Ge Feng smiled disdainfully: "I told him, but it's a pity that he took my words as a deaf ear!" He suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Have you noticed that Ju Wu is quite resistant to the princess's sudden decision to set off this time?" ā
I frowned: "What does Brother Ge mean?" ā
Ge Feng said: "It's not a secret, every time the location of the camp is chosen by Ju Wu, and he doesn't consider my opinion at all." ā
I secretly wondered in my heart, what did Ge Feng mean by saying this to me? He seemed to be hinting to me that Ju Wu's behavior was extremely abnormal, which was tantamount to reminding me to beware of Ju Wu. Is he using this to get out of business? What about deliberately diverting my attention?
Ge Feng smiled: "You seem to be wary of me, in fact, I joined halfway, and it is difficult not to be suspected by others." ā
I laughed and said, "Brother Ge is too worried. ā
Ge Feng said meaningfully: "One thing Commander Lu must know is that the reason why my master was made an exception by the king is because he is loyal to the king, and he will never do anything unfavorable to the princess." ā
I nodded slowly, Ge Feng's words were not unreasonable, with the identity and status of King Changsi, he really had no reason to target the Seventh Princess.
At this time, the team in front of us stopped again, and Ge Feng and I galloped to the front of the team, but Ju Wu ordered to stop, and he said loudly: "Everyone rest in the open area in front of you, and wait until dawn before leaving!" ā
I came up to him and said, "Commander, the princess has made us march overnight, do you want to disobey her orders?" ā
Ju Wu sneered: "Now everyone is sleepy, the brothers can't hold it anymore, my task is to send the princess to Chu safely, so I want to let the brothers get enough rest and maintain strong combat effectiveness in order to better protect the princess!" ā
Ge Feng suggested on the side: "The terrain in this area is treacherous, and it is not a good place to camp, I know that there is a jungle suitable for camping about five miles ahead. ā
Ju Wu pointed to the soldiers around him who were already tired and sitting on the ground: "Do you think they can still support themselves to walk?" Several soldiers around me shouted angrily when they heard that I was still going to insist on moving forward, and Ju Wu showed a smug smile: "Deputy commander, brothers are also human beings, as their commander, you must learn to be considerate of your subordinates!" ā
The soldiers around me were already physically and mentally exhausted, and most of them had already stopped in that open area, I sighed a little helplessly, and Ge Feng whispered to me: "It seems that these soldiers will not listen to you." ā
I nodded, and looked around, and there was a dense jungle all but the open field where we were, and it was a low-lying place, not a good place to camp, and there was not even a place to hide if there was an enemy ambush.
Ge Feng said in a low voice: "Things seem to be wrong!" ā
I rode to the front of the Seventh Princess's car, approached the window, and quietly told Ju Wu that he was reluctant to move forward with the soldiers, and said angrily: "This Ju Wu is so bold, call him over to me!" ā
I sighed and said, "Forget it, it seems that those soldiers really can't walk, let's be careful." ā
After re-encamping, I asked Khao Lie to lead ten samurai to patrol the surrounding woods, and I was relieved to be sure that there was no enemy ambush in the forest.
The autumn rain finally stopped for a while, I untied my coat and spread it in front of the tent, untied the bronze sword, plunged it deep into the ground, removed the hat and put it on the hilt of the sword, and breathed a long sigh of relief, only then did I feel that my legs were sore and painful, although I had been riding most of the time, but the skin on the inside of my legs was also grinding and hurting, and it seemed that my riding skills needed more exercise.
Ge Feng came to my side again and sat down next to me.
I looked at him curiously: "Why doesn't Brother Ge go to sleep yet?" I'm going to have to hurry tomorrow. ā
Ge Feng said with a heavy expression: "I can't sleep!" The forest was on all sides of our camp, and if an enemy attacked us, it would be difficult to get out. ā
"It should be fine, I asked Kaoli to take someone to check around, and I didn't find anything unusual."
Ge Feng said in a low voice: "I still suspect that Ju Wu has bad intentions, and I must keep an eye on him tonight." ā
I didn't speak, and looked in the direction where Ju Wu was, only to see that several bonfires had been lit there. I couldn't help but yawn and said, "Have a good rest, maybe tomorrow will be a good day." ā
When I returned to the tent, I was soon asleep, after all, I had hardly slept soundly on the way. Not long after I fell asleep, Kaorlie came in and woke me up.
I opened my sour eyes: "What's the matter?" ā
"Ge Feng must see you!"
I hurriedly stood up, and Ge Feng had already lifted the curtain and walked in: "Commander Lu, Ju Wu and six soldiers have gone somewhere!" ā
"What?" I exclaimed.
Ge Feng said: "I kept an eye on him tonight, and I saw that he did not rest, but walked towards the woods to the east with a few soldiers. I was worried that something bad was going to happen, so I came over to inform you. ā
I strode out of the tent, only to find that it was dawn outside, and it seemed that my sleep time was not as short as it sounded, and a thin morning mist wafted around me, casting shadows over the entire camp.
I walked straight to Juwu's tent, where two guards on duty, who were crouching there to bake the fire, saw me and hurriedly stood up.
"Where's the Commander?"
The guard said happily, "I'm going hunting!" ā
"Hunting? He's so interested! ā
The guard heard that my tone was not good, and said with a smile: "Commander Ju said, let everyone rest for a while, and then continue to rush at noon." ā
I nodded, and at this time Ge Feng suddenly exclaimed, "Be careful! āć I subconsciously retreated to the left, and a cold arrow grazed my cheek, and the tip of the arrow sank into the guard's eyebrows like lightning, and came out of the back of his head, red blood and white brains splashed out of the back of his head along the tip of the arrowhead.
The smile on the guard's face hadn't completely faded before life had left his body.
Ge Feng shouted loudly: "Get down all of them!" ā
I quickly threw myself to the ground and looked up, only to see the feathered arrows in the air whizzing through like flying locusts, and dozens of soldiers who had not been able to lie down had been shot on the spot.
I roared, "Go and protect the princess!" ā
Kaoli and Dai Kaishan led the warriors to use shields to surround the camp of the Seven Princesses, and for a while the camp screamed and the neighing of horses was incessant, and I crawled towards the princess's tent.
Ge Feng picked up a shield from the ground and threw it at me, I reached out to catch it, blocking the feather arrows shot from the side, and Ge Feng was in one place, Ge Feng scolded angrily: "Damn, Ju Wu really betrayed us!" ā
I pointed to the carriage not far away: "Let's cover the princess to get out of here first!" ā
Ge Feng pointed to the woods on the left: "The offensive there is the weakest, let's start breaking through here!" ā
I nodded his head, and my previous suspicions about him were swept away.
Taking advantage of the enemy's first round of feather arrow attack, I ordered the surrounding soldiers to drive the carriage to the camp of the seventh princess Ji and Yue, and use four carriages to protect both sides of the camp tent to prevent the attack of feather arrows as much as possible.
Ji and Yue walked out of the tent under the protection of Kaoli and quickly boarded the carriage in the middle.
After a brief discussion with Ge Feng, it was decided that he and I would lead fifty soldiers to clear the way. Kaoli and Dai Kaishan led the others to protect the princess into the woods.
At this time, the enemy's attack began to be fierce again, and we were fully prepared, and at this time the morning fog began to thicken, and their lethality was much weaker, but even so, more than a dozen soldiers were still shot on the spot. Only by entering the woods as soon as possible and relying on the concealment of the trees can you effectively avoid the shooting of the opponent.
Ge Feng and I led fifty soldiers, using shields and the cover of the morning mist, and after the opponent's attack weakened, we rushed into the woods on the left with lightning speed.
Dozens of gray-clad archers saw us appear, hurriedly discarded their bows and arrows, drew their weapons and attacked us.
Ge Feng took the lead, and the bow and arrow in his hand were fired like cannons, and the arrows were not missing, and in the blink of an eye, five people had already died under his arrows.
I swung my bronze sword and rushed forward, blocking an enemy's incoming sword with my shield, and the bronze sword slashed with all its might, cutting off his left foot to the ankle, causing him to fall down with a wail of pain, and I immediately slashed at his neck with a sword, and with all my strength, I cut off his head Qi Gen.
