On the coal mountain.

There was a lot of noise, horses and mules neighing.

Xue Rengui looked at the scene in front of him, and said: "It's better for me to take a few people to open the way, the convoy is in the center, and the young master leads the people behind the palace, once something happens, the convoy will form a circle to protect itself, and the coal mountain protection team will open a distance of three miles, three miles is enough to make the speed of the war horse up, and it can arrive in time, it is not advisable to be too far, and it is easy to be exposed if it is too close." ”

"You mean not to expose the mountain guards and attract the enemy to attack." Qin Huaidao asked.

"That's right, the mountain guard team is with you, the enemy should not dare to make a move, so he will wait for the second time, the third time, rather than the enemy is dark and I am bright, and I am afraid again and again, it is better to attract a shot and fight a battle." Xue Rengui said solemnly.

Qin Huaidao suddenly smiled and said: "Let's think of a piece, however, I will lead the guards of the house to open the way, you take the Qinjiazhuang Guardian Team, once there is danger, immediately organize the team to form a formation to protect yourself, the Qinjiazhuang Guardian Team is all inexperienced teenagers, it will be better to have a time buffer." ”

"What the young master said is, be careful on the road." Xue Rengui agreed.

"The enemy may also let go of the vanguard and choose to attack the coachman, and your side is equally dangerous, so you should not be careless." Qin Huaidao reminded, and when he saw that the convoy was ready, he immediately went up and shouted, "Let's go-"

"Let's go!"

"Peace—"

The voice is high-pitched and resounding through the wilderness.

The convoy slowly moved and moved forward.

At dusk.

The wind was bitter, and the wilderness was silent.

The convoy came to a hilly forest area, and then there were mountains, the woods were a little dense, Qin Huaidao took the lead, his sharp eyes kept scanning the front, and he saw a group of birds in the air chasing, frolicking, flying towards the woods in front, looking like he was about to fall, but he turned and flew away.

If the birds do not fall, there will be something strange!

Qin Huaidao pulled the reins of the horse and stopped, staring vigilantly at the woods in front of him, the palace guards followed, and one of them said curiously: "Young master, but have you found something?" ”

"Are you aware of anything unusual ahead?" Qin Huaidao asked rhetorically.

Everyone shook their heads, curiously looking ahead and silent.

"The birds are frightened, and there is a fear of an ambush." Qin Huaidao reminded.

Everyone was a little more vigilant, and one of them asked: "Young master, the birds and finches just now may not be frightened, or they may want to go to other places, a single bird is the homing, and it is difficult to judge that a group of birds are frolicking." ”

"It's really difficult to judge a group, but in the end, one or two will fall into the branches to rest, not one just now, turn around and turn very resolutely, as if frightened, be cautious, Uncle Wu, you go back and inform the convoy to rest in place, take over the command, form a circle of defense, and let Xue Rengui come over." Qin Huaidao said calmly, something is abnormal, and he would rather do something wrong than let it go.

One of the guards stepped back to give orders.

Qin Huaidao turned over and dismounted, motioned for everyone to sit down on the spot, and put on a posture of resting when he was tired of walking, there was a dense forest in front of him, and it was reasonable to take a rest before entering the dense forest, even if there was really an ambush, it would not arouse suspicion.

"Young master, do you want me to wait for a detour to go up and have a look?" A guard suggested.

"Don't worry, wait a minute." Qin Huaidao waved his hand, but his eyes were staring at the suspicious places in front of him, and then looked at the uneven mountains and dense grass around him, and it was not difficult to go up in a roundabout way.

After waiting for a while, Xue Rengui hurriedly came over: "Young master, but have you found something?" ”

Qin Huaidao said in a low voice: "The birds are frightened, I suspect that there is an ambush, I am not sure, you can infiltrate with me to take a look, if there is, it will take him, it doesn't matter if there is not, just take a break in the convoy." ”

Xue Rengui agreed, several guards were anxious, and they asked for battle, and one of them even said: "Young master, I'll take a brother over to take a look, we are familiar with this kind of thing." ”

The sneak attack is a technical job, Qin Huaidao didn't worry about everyone, and waved his hand to interrupt: "You are here to confuse the enemy, there are many people who are easy to expose, don't fight anymore, this is a military order." ”

Military orders are like mountains, everyone is used to obedience, and it is not good to insist on it.

Qin Huaidao looked at Xue Rengui: "Follow my route, your body must be lowered." ”

"Understood!" Xue Rengui couldn't help but think of the last time he went to Qin Huaidao in Weinan County to infiltrate, and hurriedly agreed.

Qin Huaidao stopped talking nonsense, quickly lowered his body and retreated, using his hands and feet together, like a sneaking python, climbing to a low slope with the help of the surrounding bushes, rolling down, completely avoiding the field of vision of the woods in front of him, seeing Xue Rengui following up in the same way, his movements were also very agile, and he was relieved.

The two quickly detoured around and entered the forest from the side, Qin Huaidao leaned against a big tree with his back, and told Xue Rengui who followed up: "Don't step on dry branches and make a sound, keep a distance of more than two zhang, learn from me, try not to use a knife, and fight silently." ”

Xue Rengui is a little confused, what is a silent battle? How do you fight without a knife? Seeing that Qin Huaidao had already rushed up, his body was pressed very low, like a foraging cheetah, he rushed out more than ten meters in a few jumps, hiding behind a big tree, and didn't make a sound at all from beginning to end.

"What a subtle move." Xue Rengui is a knowledgeable person, and immediately realized the benefits of this method of running and infiltrating, not only fast, but also silently approaching the target to carry out a sneak attack, and hurriedly followed, but heard the sound of stepping on broken branches under his feet, so he quickly hid it.

"Why can't you do it yourself? How did he do it? Xue Rengui was puzzled in his heart, looked over, and found that Qin Huaidao rushed forward again, and when his feet landed, it was obviously different, it was the toes that landed first, and he walked on the ground, like a dragonfly dotting water, reducing the contact range between his feet and the ground, no wonder there was no sound.

The next moment, Xue Rengui followed suit, and saw that there were dead branches under his feet, and the dead branches were criss-crossed, but there was a place that was empty, and his toes fell on the empty place and bounced away with his strength, and sure enough, he didn't make a sound, and he was immediately overjoyed, and he admired Qin Huaidao.

Sneaking all the way and coming to a mountainside, Xue Rengui saw that there were really people in ambush in front of him, scattered and hiding behind big trees, all dressed in black, wearing masks, holding strong crossbows, and were vigilantly staring at the official road below, but he didn't see Qin Huaidao's shadow, so he was startled and quickly hid and observed.

Suddenly, Xue Rengui saw a figure popping out of a bush, like a cheetah sneaking attack, holding a person's head from behind, twisting it hard, and then dragging the other party back into the bushes without making any sound.

This scene shocked Xue Rengui, is this a silent tactic? It's so strong!

The blood boiled instantly, as a person who practiced martial arts, Xue Rengui naturally yearned for exquisite killing skills, and also admired the strong, staring at the bushes, his eyes did not blink, eager to see a miracle again.

Not long after, a person came out of the bushes, dressed in black, wearing a mask, and holding a strong crossbow, Xue Rengui was stunned, the man in black just now was obviously dead-could it be the young master?!

At this moment, Xue Rengui's eyes lit up, and he looked fixedly, and saw Qin Huaidao using the cover of the surrounding trees, like a python sneaking, slowly approaching the target, suddenly bursting up, hugging a person from behind, twisting his hands, and then gently putting the person on the ground, and continuing to move forward.
