Chapter 621: Seeing Through the Ambush
Because he knew that the road ahead was dangerous, Ouyang Huaiyu kept walking more carefully.
They kept moving forward.
"Are we going to keep moving forward?" Xia Zhixue has also been by Ouyang Huaiyu's side, and couldn't help asking.
They've been on the road for so long, and they've been moving forward, and they've been getting rid of the pirates.
However, they kept going like this, and it didn't do them any good, after all, the soldiers' food and physical strength would not be able to keep up.
And these pirates seem to know that no matter how much they kill, more will pop out, and there are some "pirates" who seem to be particularly well-trained.
Most of these pirates are in the grass, how can there be such a well-known person among them, so the greatest possibility is that someone is still helping them behind their backs.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have developed to the way it is now, but even if they knew, they wouldn't know the doorway.
They went all the way, clearing so many pirates along the way, but every time a large number of people popped out again, it was really a headache.
Ouyang Huaiyu didn't understand this truth, and he had already guessed that the pirates must have someone helping them, so he knew the route they were heading forward, and he shook his head slowly:
"No matter how smart they are, there will always be times when they are smart but they are mistaken by their cleverness, you should wait patiently, their fox tail will always be exposed."
Ouyang Huaiyu's mysterious look also made Xia Zhixue couldn't help but look at him more, some didn't quite understand what he meant by this, could it be that he had other thoughts in it.
While the two were talking, a "newspaper" hurriedly came.
They also looked ahead at the same time, and saw a soldier hurrying towards them.
The soldier arrived in front of them, then knelt down on one knee and waved his hands: "Report, my lord, the forward we sent in front of us has been cut off from us for some reason. ”
broke off the connection, Ouyang Huaiyu's eyes also narrowed, and he didn't expect it.
"Are you sure? Is it disconnected from us? Xia Zhixue immediately asked with confirmation.
"It's been cut off, we've tried all sorts of things, but we haven't been able to contact the mark we marked before, and it's broken not far ahead."
Hearing this, Xia Zhixue's brows furrowed, the forwards sent were there to open the way, and leaving exclusive marks along the way could make sure that the ones behind could move forward safely.
But how could it be that he had cut off contact with them now?
Unless...... Unless something unforeseen happens to them.
The two of them looked at each other as if they had thought of a piece, and they both saw worry in each other's eyes.
"You go to the front and check carefully, if you really don't have a mark, you can only report it to me again, remember, check every place, don't miss anything." Ouyang Huaiyu ordered in a deep voice.
"Yes." The subordinates also responded quickly, and immediately took someone to find the mark.
The road was supposed to be unimpeded, but now it is cut off in the middle of the road, can this not worry them? Or maybe the pirates finally can't help but get started?
It didn't take long for the soldier to come back with the same news. 163
They had checked around for sure, and had made sure there were no markers, and they had used special methods to contact the vanguards, but there was no response.
The signs were gone, and the people were suddenly gone, which had to make them wary.
"Zhixue, you follow behind, I'll take someone to the front to check." After getting the news, Ouyang Huaiyu didn't hesitate and ordered directly.
He is going to be the front by himself, and Xia Zhixue is the first to be the most worried: "Do you have to go by yourself?" Can't send someone else? ”
Although Ouyang Huaiyu also knew the worries in her heart, he comforted her softly:
"Don't worry, don't you believe in my strength? It's more than enough for these pirates, and if things really change by then, I'll at least be able to run back, don't worry, I won't let myself have anything. ”
Ouyang Huaiyu's smiling eyebrows and eyes were gentle, all of which were doting on Xia Zhixue.
Xia Zhixue knew that it was useless to tell him more, so in the end she could only nod and agree: "Okay, you can go, but you must protect yourself, and you must not let yourself have an accident." ”
"Well, you can rest assured, it's just that I'm going to the front to find out the news, and I don't want to risk my own life, you can rest assured."
Ouyang Huaiyu said several times in a row, which made Xia Zhixue feel relieved, and finally watched him with worried eyes and rushed to the front with two small soldiers.
Of course, Ouyang Huaiyu is not stupid, how can he just keep moving forward, there must be some ambush waiting for him in front of him, so he chose a more circuitous path, and finally heard what he wanted to hear.
"Are you stupid, why did you kill their vanguard so quickly, do you want to expose us, I think you are the undercover agent they sent to us."
The Pirate Boss was so furious that he was teaching his men a lesson, and he didn't hesitate to slap his hand on his bare head.
"Boss, wronged, I'm really not an undercover agent, I just saw those pioneers, and subconsciously felt that they were not good for us, so I killed them, I really didn't think about it so much, and begged the boss to spare his life."
"Spare your life, how can I spare you, you really want to kill all of us, do you know, we finally got the opportunity to kill them, you wasted it for me like this, you treat them as stupid, you killed their vanguards, they don't notice."
The pirate boss was very angry, and the green tendons on his forehead were very obvious.
"So what now, boss." The subordinate next to him also asked secretly.
"What do you say you can do now, of course you have to withdraw, or they won't be able to beat us when they find out."
"This ......"
Although they were unwilling, they were helpless, because they had indeed been exposed first.
Ouyang Huaiyu heard what he wanted to hear, so he left quietly without hesitation.
Xia Zhixue saw that Ouyang Huaiyu came back so quickly and was safe, and the big stone in her heart could finally be put down.
"How?" She asked.
"Our previous guess was correct, it is indeed this group of pirates who have set a trap in front of us and is waiting for us, and now we should know that we are aware of it, so we are retreating."
"Then ...... we," Xia Zhixue asked subconsciously.
"Chase." A light flashed in Ouyang Huaiyu's eyes.
