Although Captain Chang was impressed by his performance, Qin Lei would rather not be in the limelight than use this trick to 'cut off the tail of the gecko'. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
But the Breakers came too quickly, and if they didn't use some means, they would probably be caught up at dawn.
In desperation, Qin Lei had to leave four hundred soldiers and thousands of horses to lure the enemy away. The 400 sergeants set up camp on the side of the road, spread banners, and lit hundreds of bonfires, and finally deceived the scouts of the Broken Army into thinking that they were the main force of the enemy. In fact, Qin Lei's main force had already left here two hours ago.
In the end, the four hundred loyal and brave guards succeeded in tricking the main force of the Breaker Army out of forty miles, and overdrew their horsepower, and it was not known how long it would take to recover. This back and forth is more than 80 miles, nearly a day's journey. Taking advantage of this, Qin Lei's team didn't know where to go. Therefore, even if the horses of the captive army were tireless and immediately turned back, it would be useless.
How could Captain Chang not know this? simply let the sergeants set up camp and recuperate. As for the task of chasing down the 'enemy', I'd better leave it to someone else. In fact, he knows very well what the consequences will be if the most important link in his encirclement falls off the chain.
Qin Lei naturally had no way of knowing about the psychological changes of this regular lieutenant, but he was indeed relieved. The pursuers behind were thrown away from the distance, and the part used to cut off his back road was also a hundred miles to the southwest, Qin Lei and the others only needed to maintain this marching speed all the way to the west. You can return to the control area of the Southern Army in Xiangfan Town.
But until the time of camping, his face was still gloomy and watery, and since the end of his tour of the camp, he had been sitting on a barrel with a buckle on it. A pair of delicate little hands put around his neck, gently relaxing his tense muscles for him.
Qin Lei closed his eyes, as if he was intoxicated with a comfortable feeling, and he didn't want to speak for a long time. These days, the distance between the two has become much closer, and even more intimate than friends......
I don't know how long it took, the sky was already dark, and there was no need to be camping in the wild, so the two of them were completely immersed in the darkness.
It seems that someone has said that darkness is the source of sin, and he will magnify the ** in your heart and make you do something that you want to do during the day but dare not do. Qin Lei had such a sentence in his mind.
At this time, Yunsheng's little hand had been pressed from his neck to his shoulder, still so gentle, but very effective...... of the poisonous weeds that arouse someone's heart.
In the dark, Qin Lei stretched out his right hand and gently pressed it on Yunshang's porcelain-like smooth and delicate little hand, Yunshang reflexively wanted to withdraw his hand, but found that Qin Lei's strength suddenly increased, "He is a big man, how can people behave more than him?" First, it will hurt his self-esteem, and second, it will seem that others are too ...... Fierce ......" In the flash of light, Yunsheng's little head thought of it, so he symbolically struggled a few times, and saw that Qin Lei had no intention of letting go, so he let him press it.
Although he didn't resent Qin Lei touching his hand, Yun Shang's face was still as hot as fire, and his pink neck seemed to have lost his strength, and he couldn't support his little head at all, making the night elf-like jade face almost touch his chest.
The girl's heart was in turmoil, and all she could accept at the moment was that, "If this bad guy gets an inch, I will never allow it, I must push him away......" The girl swore secretly in her heart, "But I can't even move my fingers...... Could it be poisoning? ”
However, what made her secretly relieved and slightly disappointed was that Qin Lei was like a piece of wood, holding down the girl's hand like that, and did not move again.
"Don't you know how to hold it? Why are you still pressing? The girl couldn't help but give Qin Lei a beautiful white eye.
Just when she thought Qin Lei was asleep, he finally spoke: "Yunsheng, what kind of person is your father?" ”
The brainless question made Yun Sheng stunned, she thought that Qin Lei would ask herself something like, 'What do you think of me?' ''Do you like me?'' and so on.
"My father is very good, and he loves me very much......" Although she didn't know why Qin Lei said this, the girl still replied softly. She never told Qin Lei about her life experience, but she never deliberately concealed it. Presumably he already knew who he was, the girl thought to herself.
Qin Lei finally took Yunsheng's little hand off his shoulder, gently held it in his hand, and felt the delicacy with his heart. Before the girl had time to savor the shyness in her heart, she heard Qin Lei continue: "Do you miss him? ”
A sentence aroused the sorrow of the girl's children, and said in a trembling voice: "Yes." ”
"Then let's go back and have a look......" Qin Lei's voice did not fluctuate at all.
Qiao Yunsheng's heart tightened, with a slight force, he withdrew his hand, and said in disappointment: "The prince wants to drive me away again?" ”
Qin Lei withdrew his hand with some nostalgia, nodded, and said lightly: "We have left the Broken Army behind, so there is no danger." But Lone doesn't plan to go to Tangzhou, Lone wants to go back to Jingzhou. So there's no need for you to follow, go back and see your family. ”
The words weren't sharp, but the detached tone was more hurtful. Yunshang repeated in a bitter voice, "Do you really want to drive me away?" ”
Qin Lei nodded, then stopped talking, and let himself merge with the darkness, cold as a sculpture.
In that case, why is Fang Cai so gentle with me? The situation changed so quickly that Yun Sheng felt like she was in a dream, and muttered, "I'll leave early tomorrow morning......"
Qin Lei still didn't speak.
I didn't even look at me anymore, Yunsheng's heart was infinitely sad, but her voice was faint: "Take care, the princess, the daughter has retired." After saying that, he turned around and left gracefully.
"Wait a minute......" The hateful man finally spoke, Yunsheng's body trembled slightly, but he still stopped according to his words. How she wished it was just a wicked joke.
"There's a letter for you...... Daddy, help me carry it. As she spoke, a thin envelope appeared in front of the girl.
"Nothing else?" The girl took the cold letter and asked one last question.
Even in the dark, she could clearly see that Qin Lei's hand, which was still gentle and infinite, waved it ruthlessly.
After a long time, Qin Lei turned around, and his back was already empty, and the Yiren had already disappeared......
Qin Lei sighed lightly and said in a voice that only he could hear: "Don't blame me......"
In the ranks of the march on the second day, there was indeed no figure of Qiao Yunsheng. Shi Dang asked softly, "Is Miss Qiao really gone?" Qin Lei nodded.
Shi Dang didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only say dryly: "I believe that Miss Qiao will understand the prince's kindness sooner or later." ”
Qin Lei smiled faintly: "It's better to wait for the crisis to pass." As he spoke, he asked with a serious face, "Haven't you found any clues yet?" ”
Shi Dang shook his head and said softly, "Our reconnaissance range has reached the limit of forty miles, and there is still no abnormality. Lord Wang, are we all soldiers? ”
Qin Lei stroked the dark clouds and slippery mane, and also lowered his voice and said: "There is no void under the fame, if it is a bloody killing, even so many of us can't find it, what kind of bullshit is the first in the world." ”
Shi Dang silently, blood killing accompanied the rise of the Li family, nearly a hundred times in the past few decades, never a single miss, cut off one difficult opponent after another for the Li family, it is the blood of countless enemies, and it has achieved its great reputation. This fame culminated in the 'Battle for the Forbidden Army' six years ago.
At that time, the Huangfu family, which was known as the Li family, was assassinated by it from the head of the family to the doorman. In particular, the assassination of the previous head of the family, Huang Fudan, directly led to the collapse of this family. In the next two months, this fierce beast frantically assassinated more than 200 die-hard officers of the Huangfu family, and for a while everyone was silent, and no one dared to tease Li Hun's tiger whiskers without knowing whether he was alive or dead.
Until Qin Lei appeared, this young highness took an unusually tough attitude to avenge his subordinates on Taozhu Street, beheaded a hundred Tiance archers, and shot Tiance general Li Qing on the top of the Golden Palace, completely piercing the thick skin of the old Li family, and finally blatantly rejected the subsequent hope of reconciliation brought by Li Sihai, and the two sides were already in an endless situation.
If Qin Lei is allowed to continue to show off his might, where will the Li family's face and prestige remain? After a long time, people's hearts will disperse. Therefore, the Li family's sniping this time must be unreserved, and strive to be foolproof.
Therefore, Qin Lei believed that the bloody slaughter would definitely come, and attacked in an undefensible posture, making him unable to parry. The reason why Qin Lei had to get rid of the entanglement of the broken army as soon as possible was that he had to deal with the biggest threat after he came here wholeheartedly.
After three more days of walking, I have entered the boundary of Jiangbei, and gradually I am no longer a flat river, and I can see the mountains in the distance. But still no clues have been found, which can prove that the bloody killing is watching left and right. However, Qin Lei still did not dare to slack off, although he did not dare to speak clearly to the team, but he strictly ordered them to be loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and increased the intensity of scouts, striving to detect the enemy before he moved.
He knew that the bloody slaughter was an assassin, not a regular army, and they would definitely choose the right time and place to do it, and the mountains and forests that could be seen everywhere in Jiangbei undoubtedly provided the best concealment for the bloody killing.
Maintaining a high degree of vigilance day and night made Qin Lei also become a little nervous, even when the noon sun was the most poisonous, he would not take off the soft armor and chain mail on his body...... So he had prickly heat, and the feeling of grievance that couldn't be tickled made him even more irritable, and for a while he couldn't wait for the bloody killing to rush out immediately, and everyone fought and came happily.
So Qin Lei's temper grew bigger and bigger day by day, he scolded at every turn, and would find some reasons to beat the soldiers to vent his anger, and often beat the soldiers to death. The guards were already frightened by the murderous name of blood, and as soon as they were tortured by him, there were deserters, and with the first there was a second, and finally the plague spread, and after three days, there were less than seventy percent of the guards left.
Qin Lei naturally jumped like thunder, and he didn't dare to turn back to get those deserters, and the rest of the honest people suffered, and after a random beating. After a little relief, he viciously ordered that as long as one of them escaped, his team would all be beheaded.
Shi Dang wanted to admonish, but was scolded by Qin Lei: "Three-legged toads are not easy to find, and two-legged people crawl all over the ground." Anyway, there is still more than a day to go to our own territory, am you still afraid of you running? It's better that even you run away! ”
Shi Dang sighed, and reluctantly went down to appease the soldiers.
On this day, it was time to camp again, Qin Lei ordered the team to find a dirt slope to camp, and when he saw that everyone was lazy and couldn't move, he scolded again when he was angry, but found that there was no improvement, and he was angry. Leave aside the cruel words: 'I want you to look good when I go back!' Then he went back to his tent and went to sleep.
The sergeants were not in the mood to set up camp anymore, and after a hasty dinner, they gathered together anxiously and exchanged ears. "What now? When we go back, will the prince kill us? "! He kills if he wants? When Lao Tzu is a stupid goose. "It's just, can't we hide if we can't afford to provoke?" "But if you leave, won't we be beheaded?" "Stupid, let's go together, how about having a care!" "So where are we going?" "Go to Jingshan and fall into the grass! While the chaos is not over, just grab a mountain and go happy! "Go and ...... together"
In the end, going to Jingshan to fall into the grass has become a common wish of many people.
As soon as it got dark, many people tiptoed away from the camp, since they were going to fall into the grass, they naturally had to have some combat power, so when they left, these people did not forget to put on their armor, bring swords, and pull their horses. It seems that he is going to Jingshan to do a big job.
Many people didn't want to leave, but when they saw their companions gone, they had to stay and suffer on their behalf, so they had to reluctantly keep up, so that more people left.
The exact number of people who walked was not really blind in the black light, but at least three or five hundred people were missing. Combined with those who fled, there should be less than a thousand people left in the camp, and the number is still decreasing.
This made the leader of the spies who was secretly watching laugh and sobbed his intestines, ordered his subordinates to continue to watch carefully, and quietly left.
After a few moments of stalking in the darkness, he strode up and ran far before he stopped, whistled, and in a few moments a horse came running from a distance. Before the horse could hold its feet, the leader of the spies turned on his horse and galloped north.
After walking for half an hour, he came to a dense forest that could not be seen, and cooed a few times, and there was a sound of chirping from inside, and then he dismounted and entered the forest. After running in the forest for a while, it suddenly became clear that I had come to a glade. Rao is scout leader is not weak, but he is also tired and out of breath.
After calming his breath a little, he knelt down on one knee and said respectfully into the darkness: "The fear of the target has reached its peak, and it is completely lost. After speaking, he told him what he saw.
After he finished speaking, a strange laugh came from a big tree: "Old man, I can't imagine that after disappearing for five or six years, our prestige can still scare those dolls." ”
A metallic voice came from another tree: "The prestige of blood killing can not be worn away by time." Then the leader of the spies, kneeling on the ground, asked, "Are you sure this is not a trap?" ”
The old woman also said strangely: "That is, maybe that kid is a cage and tricks us into throwing ourselves into the net." ”
The old guy just doesn't work, he is hard and timid. The leader of the assassins, who was kneeling on the ground, was guilty of slander in his heart, but he said respectfully: "The news from the nail is indeed civil strife, not acting." ”
"That's good, that's good." The two old guys put their hearts at ease and boasted to themselves in a strange voice for a while, and then they screamed: "Let's go!" ”
With this order, there was a commotion in the continuous canopy, and in the blink of an eye, many ropes hung down, and then countless people in black slid down the ropes to the ground.
Tonight, the moon is dark and the wind is high, and it is the time to kill.
There were about five hundred of these men in black, wearing only leather armor and a variety of blades on their backs. They didn't ride horses, but they ran like meteors and moons in great stride, but they were so fast that they didn't fall behind the leader of the spies who led the way on horseback.
That is, half an hour, the leader of the spies pulled the reins of the horse, turned over and dismounted, and said respectfully to an old man beside him who was wrapped in black cloth: "The target is three miles away!" ”
The old man smiled and said sharply: "Children, cheer up, when you slaughter that kid, let you taste the meat of the dragon son and dragon grandson, is it more delicious!" ”
His words drew a strange laugh, and the men in black stepped up their steps and threw themselves towards the sparks in the distance. A mile away, the men in black lurked, and the spy leader sneaked in to hear the news.
His men were swatting mosquitoes in a grass nest. Seeing him coming, he hurriedly put on a look of full observation.
There was no time to reprimand his lazy subordinates, so the leader of the spies lowered his voice and asked, "How is it?" ”
"Everything is normal, after a few more departures, there are almost seven or eight hundred people left in the camp."
"What about the goal?"
"I was in the tent all the time, and I didn't come out."
After listening to the report of his subordinates, the leader of the spies sent a secret signal to the back that he could attack.
Five hundred men in black quietly approached the enemy camp like a hunting panther......
