Chapter 65: A Nest of Bears

Bagen continued: "The Jeong family may be well-known in the elite circles of the national capital, but it may only be unknown in this newly expanded territory that has only been open for ten or twenty years. It can even be speculated that Zheng Patrol inspected and filled the vacancies in the south, and the only people that the military department really wanted to transfer to the nameless county were the old man Zheng Zhuo and the jade pei Xingjun. Zheng's inspection of his people is estimated to be just a trick on the table, just a cover, at least for now. ”

"Now let's take a look at the defense area arranged by Zheng Inspection. The Heifeng Village in the northeast direction, on the surface, is the defense area of Duota; in the southeast direction, Qingniu Village and Huangyang Village, on the surface, are 600 bandits, and the two of them, Brother Gong and Poisonous Weed, are each other's horns and join forces to defend the area; as for our defense area, in the southwest, we only need to defend against the eight-rank martial star of the bandit 'Tuxingsun' and dozens of his minions. With Qin Darthead's archery skills, the two of us only need to carry the quivers provided by Zheng Patrol for her, and find a slightly higher place to ensure that no one in the defense area escapes. ”

"It's hard to say whether Tuxing Sun will be able to escape from the ground....... But he was bent on escaping, once the star armor was recruited, the threat to him from Qin Darthead's archery skills would be greatly weakened, after all, Qin Darthead had not yet reached the realm of chasing wind arrows. Wu Xing was puzzled: "I know that Qin Darthead can reveal his hiding position in time to lure the other party to avenge an arrow, after all, the close combat of archers is famous, well, it is relatively poor." ”

Qin Lan glanced at Wu Xing and picked her chin, which means that you know each other, and you know how to change your words.

Wu Xing coughed lightly and continued: "I mean, if that 'Tuxing Sun' is extremely greedy for life and afraid of death, and would rather run away than come to avenge a single arrow, it will be useless for the two of us to lie in ambush nearby. ”

Bagen smiled, took another bite of the burning knife, and then said: "It depends on whether the Tuxing Sun is leaving or staying, you can deduce how much confidence the bandits will unite to go down the mountain this time." ”

Qin Lan said thoughtfully: "I understand! If the Tuxingsun thinks that he has been ambushed and abandons those minions and only cares about himself and runs away, the chances of the bandits should not be great; on the contrary, if the Tuxingsun completely ignores the minions and goes to the villages and towns, it can prove that the bandits have a good chance of winning, and they prefer to end the battle in the villages and towns as soon as possible, and maybe turn back to avenge the arrows later." And the three of us can decide whether we stay or go according to Tuxingsun's response. In fact, in short, it is to respond to change with the same. ”

Wu Xing echoed: "Yes, we have three horses, can't we outrun one Tuxingsun? Anyway, I don't believe it!"

Bagan put the whip back, patted the mud off his hands, and said, "Alright, let's go back to the house and rest." This kind of hospitality is only for today. We're going to leave secretly from tonight, and we'll be sleeping outside until the arrival of the native grandson. ”

.......

"What are you doing?" Qin Lan poked her head out of the branch, and by the moonlight, she looked at Wu Xing holding a sword finger in his left hand, writing and drawing out of thin air, and couldn't help but ask.

At this time, Wu Xing and the three of them were on a small hill tens of zhang high about four or five miles southwest of Wuming County, and from here, they could basically see all the tracks leading to Wuming County. Bagen and Wu Xing dug a large pit at the top of the mountain, hid the three horses in it, and then set up a simple lookout post between the branches and leaves of one of the trees in the small forest on the top of the mountain, and the three of them took turns to observe the movement nearby.

"Can't you see it, I'm practicing calligraphy!" Wu Xing smiled, stopped, looked up, and reminded: "You better pay attention to observe! A hundred taels of silver is not so easy to earn!"

"Shhhhh

Wu Xing got up, walked quickly to the edge of the big pit, jumped down, made two simple gestures, and then chewed and saddled the three horses with Bagen, and then carefully wrapped the layers of coarse cloth on the horse's hooves and tied them tightly with leather bands.

There were three or two birdsong from the top of the tree, Wu Xing and Bagen looked up, and Qin Lan made a few simple gestures one after another, conveying enough information.

In fact, whether it is a night or a barbarian scout, the information needed to reconnoiter the enemy's situation is much the same. After Bagen and Wu Xing exchanged some ideas, they simply innovated a kind of "internal sign language of the Shunfeng Dart Bureau". Well, there is no way, Qin Lan is the only one among the three who is qualified to settle the reward with Zheng Inspector, after all, she has the identity of a dart, unlike the other two, who are not rightly named, and even Inspector Zheng implicitly expressed that Wu Xing needs to nominate a "liaison" among the three people.

Although headhunters like to travel alone, they also need to register an identity in the general club of the dart bureau: "Playing Bank", in order to receive rewards through formal channels, and conduct some transactions or exchanges through the internal channels of the fighting bank. It is impossible for a true solo Xingjun to survive for too long, and the exercises, pills, materials, and tattoos cannot be made by the same Xingjun!

Wu Xing and Bagen nodded and signaled, went to the edge of the big pit, and hid behind the trees, mainly monitoring some blind spots when Qin Lan was looking, to prevent someone from sneaking up the hill. The cooperation between the three seems to be more and more skillful.

"My lord, if you don't come out to find something to eat, the brothers will starve to death!"

"Yes, we have fished all the fish in the dark river, and the rest have been learned and never swam again. ”

"My lord, why don't you speak?"

"I'm thinking....... In the depths of the underground river, there may be monsters. That underground river is obviously living water, and the dozens of us are not eating small fish fry, how can we eat it all?"

Hearing this, Wu Xing and Bagen glanced at each other, the former pointed to his own head and gestured a big finger, which meant that the head of the bandit was quite clear.

yes, yes!

There was a chorus of echo from beneath the hill.

"Rest assured, everyone! After today's incident, I have to be a general, and you must at least be a general and guerrilla!"

Wu Xing and Bagen glanced at each other again, and the latter blinked narrowly and gestured with a big downward finger.

After a while, there was a sound from above the top of the tree, but it was Qin Lan who took the big bow out of the concealment. This big bow was not the recurve bow she was used to before, but the patrol star monarch who tried to assassinate Wu Xing in the White Horse Stele Forest. This big bow, Wu Xing once brought to Chenjia Village to show to the invading barbarians, as another token to prove his "identity", and later somehow ended up in Bagen's hands. However, after reversing hands in at least a few links in White Horse Town, the possibility of tracing the connection between the big bow and Wu Xing is already extremely low. Some of the officials had the means to dispose of some of the "defective products" in the storehouse, and the bow and arrow were the most difficult to maintain and required regular and expensive maintenance.

Therefore, since Bagen came out with this big bow and followed Wu Xing south, it should be no problem for Qin Lan to use it at least temporarily.

Airplanes!

A beep sounded.

Yes!

An earth-shattering scream was heard in the distance. Those who don't know may have thought that someone was shot by a bed crossbow!

"There are assassins!"

"Run!"

The gang in the distance blew up all of a sudden, and instantly became frightened birds!

"I just shot him in the thigh, and I was there to grab the sky, as for it?!" Qin Lan muttered on the top of the tree, and then synchronized the "enemy situation" below, and said: "That short man should be 'Di Xingsun', he got off the horse, and he was trying his best to appease those minions....... They were heading for the nameless town! That Dixingsun was hiding in the middle of the crowd, and it was basically impossible to shoot him......."

Qin Lan said in her mouth, but her hand did not stop at all, arrow after arrow. Wu Xing and Bagen heard the screams and went all the way in the direction of Nameless Town, and their voices became lower and lower. It is estimated that at least five or six more minions have been shot in the thigh.

Chirp!

An extremely sharp sound suddenly came out, heading in the direction of Nameless County. The listener only felt as if someone was scraping the surface of the armor and other metal objects with stones and so on, and the scalp was tingling!

Then, Qin Lan quickly slid down from the tree, led his own northland horse, collected the bow and arrows, stepped on the stirrup and got on the horse, and said: "The Ming Di has been shot, and the direction of Nameless Town has responded to the bronze mirror, one long and two short, indicating that they already know." Let's go shut down and beat the dogs!"

Wu Xing and Bagen smiled at each other, stepped on the stirrup, and rode down the hill. The three of them headed in the direction of Nameless County.

Those minions who had already gotten up and were about to go to Nameless Town were afraid to go to Nameless Town, when they heard a sound from behind, they looked back, and their reactions were all the same, as if they were suddenly poisoned, fell directly to the ground, and soon "died".

When approaching the nameless county, Wu Xing and the three of them all noticed a trace of abnormality. The defense area that the three of them are responsible for is southwest, mainly for the Earth Walkers and his minions who have come from the cave area. After removing the militia baoding of the reserves, Zheng Patrol arranged nearly 200 baoding in each direction, and the 200 baoding each had their own corresponding defense area and could support each other. In this way, it should be easy to deal with those startled minions and an eight-rank martial star. However, what Wu Xing and the three of them heard now was the excited howls of those minions, and it seemed that they were about to break through the city wall of the car formation.

There is an old saying on the Starfall Continent, which is called "One soldier bears, and one will bear a nest." ”

From the minions who pretended to be dead along the way just now, it can actually be guessed that this eight-rank martial star is probably not a ruthless character. However, in fact, the path blocked by two four-wheeled carts did not stop the progress of the Tuxing grandchildren.
