Chapter 131 Counterattack
In the days that followed, the man was sent away, and Scarlet Smoke stayed for a few more days. Feeling that her body was almost healed, she thought about how to open her mouth to Mo Yan, after all, she had already made up her mind to leave no matter what.
"What are you thinking?" Mo Yan on the side saw the complicated look in Scarlet Yan's eyes, and asked with concern.
"Mo Yan, I think it's time for me to leave......" Scarlet Yan hesitated again and again, and finally spoke, "My body has healed, and it will take time to stay any longer!" ”
Hearing this, Mo Yan looked stunned, and Scarlet Yan's words made his brain go blank, and he lowered his voice for a long time and said, "You want to go, I won't keep you, I'm only worried about your body!" ”
He knew in his heart that he couldn't selfishly stop Scarlet Smoke's progress, even though he knew he couldn't stop it.
"I'll take care of my body, you don't need to worry!" Scarlet Yan also spoke with difficulty, and Mo Yan could only find a way to repay his kindness in the future.
Mo Yan didn't answer again, and for a moment, the atmosphere in the room seemed to become extremely solemn because of the parting.
After a long time, a faint smile rippled on Scarlet Smoke's face, although she was smiling, she couldn't tell whether she was happy or worried, she raised her feet and walked to the door, and she had already taken the luggage in her hand.
"Mo Fu, thank you for saving your life, if I have the opportunity, I will definitely repay you!" Crimson Smoke broke the silence and spoke, his tone full of determination.
The turbulent waves rolled in Mo Yan's heart, and he still had a thousand words to say, but he couldn't spit out a word in his mouth at the moment.
He raised his eyes and looked at the woman in front of him with a steely determination, and finally a smile barely tugged at the corner of his mouth, and he nodded heavily.
Seeing this, Scarlet also felt that it was useless to say more, and she would naturally see her again in the future, so she turned her head and walked resolutely, although she understood that this was a road that she could never turn back once she set foot on it.
Saying goodbye to Mo Death, Scarlet Smoke headed in the opposite direction to the southern frontier, all the way to the north, which was not as desolate as she had imagined, and soon she came to a small town.
The buildings and pedestrians in this town are quite northern, but strangely, although the streets look prosperous, there are not many pedestrians, and the shouting along the streets is sparse, making people feel as if they have just experienced a war.
Scarlet Smoke observed the costumes of pedestrians on the street, and felt that his current outfit could easily attract the attention of others, so he also dressed himself up as a lean northerner.
Mixed with the northerners in the past, it turned out to be the same, and at that moment, Scarlet Smoke saw dozens of soldiers dressed up on the road ahead.
The soldiers were silent among themselves, their faces either depressed or disappointed and frightened, in short, they looked like they had lost the battle and were devastated in a state of collapse.
Scarlet Yan frowned, these people should be the Northern Army, but how could they appear in this town so lazily?
When he was wondering, he suddenly saw that one of the dozens of soldiers seemed to say something to his companion next to him, and then turned and walked towards the alley on the street.
Scarlet Smoke immediately followed him, but saw that the man had actually come out to relieve him.
If you want to figure out why this group of soldiers are here, maybe now is the best time, Scarlet Smoke thought silently, as she pulled a dagger that glowed silver from her baggage.
A cold light appeared in his eyes, and then he quietly walked towards the soldier, and with the momentum of lightning to cover his ears, he shot fiercely, covering his mouth with his left hand, and slashing his neck with a dagger in his right hand.
Warm blood sprayed on the back of Crimson's hand, and the soldier struggled a few times before falling to the ground, killing himself in a few moments.
In the face of such a warm corpse, a trace of unbearability crossed the bottom of the scarlet smoke, and then wiped the blood from the dagger.
Then he quickly untied the soldier's clothes, imitated the soldier's appearance and put it on himself, and after putting on the clothes, he took a handful of mud and made his fair face dirty and haggard, and at first glance he still looked a little like the Northern Army.
Scarlet Smoke kept up with the pace of the dozens of soldiers, but fortunately they saw themselves, and their eyes only glanced at them faintly, not surprised, as if they did not have any suspicions.
Seeing this, Scarlet Smoke secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Where have you been?" So long to come back? A soldier beside him shouted in a gruff voice.
Scarlet Smoke coughed dryly, lowered her throat, and replied tepidly, "My stomach hurts, so I delayed a little time!" ”
"Alas...... Why are you still so silent and cold," a trace of anger welled up on the soldier's sallow face,
A hand was raised and put on Scarlet Yan's shoulder, "Hmph, if it weren't for Wei Chimu......
Yu Chimu!
Scarlet Yan's heart sank, he didn't expect to hear about Yu Chimu so soon!
"Third child, why are you still mentioning that bastard!" Another soldier not far away gave him a blank look, and his tone was equally resentful, "If it weren't for Wei Chimu, why would we have fallen to this point!" ”
"Boss, ...... you say" The soldier next to Scarlet Smoke let go of the hand on Scarlet Smoke's shoulder and ran to his boss with a puff of smoke, "Why did we just run into them on the march, could they have some purpose?" ”
"How do I know!" The soldier, known as the Boss, spat out, "All I know is that we are deserters now!" Hurry up and think about what can be done! ”
After the soldier said this, the rest of the dozens of soldiers fell silent, panting and looking like they were dying.
"What else can we do!" The third child shouted again, and sighed, "We are very familiar with the military law of the northern country, deserters will be executed, and now we can only survive one day!" ”
After knowing that it was a dead end, the atmosphere in this group of soldiers was even more lifeless, dozens of pairs of eyes you look at me and I look at you, shaking their heads and sighing, helpless.
The scarlet smoke on the side can be regarded as figuring out the ins and outs of the whole thing, if you don't want to find a way, I'm afraid that you will also be executed as a deserter.
"Why don't we pick up our knives and fight to the death with the Southern Army! You can also leave a good name! Suddenly, one of them waved his blade and said in a broken voice.
"Just a few dozen of us, it's not enough to sharpen knives for others!" Scarlet Yan said lightly, "If you want to atone for your sins, you can only outwit!" ”
"Then what do we say?" Some of the soldiers were dissatisfied with the cold look on Qiyan's face, and said unwillingly.
"Attack the grain and grass of the Southern Army," Scarlet Yan paused, and then replied cautiously, "Food is indispensable in the army, if we solve their grain and grass, the Southern Army without food can only sit and wait for death!" ”
The soldiers were amazed, and although they said that, it was not easy to act!
"I'm afraid that before we get close to the grain field of the Southern Army, we will already be hacked to death with random knives!" Objections were carefully raised.
"So of course we can't pass by in the guise of a soldier," Scarlet glanced at him, looked up and looked around, and after making sure that there was no one else, he lowered his head and whispered, "Dress up as a peasant and kill the Southern Army by surprise!" ”
When all the soldiers heard this plan, they all clapped their hands and smiled, thinking that this method was feasible!
Without further ado, everyone immediately borrowed cattle and sheep from the peasant family and all kinds of coarse linen clothes, and after a group of people completely disguised themselves as peasant families, they set off towards the grain and grass team of the southern army.
Along the way, they encountered a lot of troops, but none of the soldiers would be suspicious of the shabby peasant family, so Scarlet Smoke and they arrived at the location of the Southern Army's grain and grass all the way safely and smoothly.
Several of them were already enthusiastic, and when they wanted to rush up and do a great job, they saw that the southern army had already sent layers of heavy troops, and surrounded the grain and grassland tightly inside and outside, and the water could not be drained.
"No, they guard the ground so tightly that they can't even fly in, how can we do it!"
Some impatient people were in a hurry first, and they were more anxious than ants on a hot pot.
Scarlet Yan was also a little difficult, but she didn't expect Nanjun to have so many eyes, her eyes glanced at a small river next to her, and she suddenly had an idea, the corners of her lips hooked, the light in her eyes crossed, and she pointed to the river not far away.
The others didn't understand what Crimson meant, and dozens of pairs of eyes widened wider than copper bells, "What's wrong with this water?" ”
"Don't they all say that water is the source of life, we drop laxatives in this water, and they drink it, so they are naturally in a hurry to go to the thatched house, and then we can do whatever we want!" A sly smile appeared on Scarlet Smoke's face, and he patiently explained.
"I see," the soldiers couldn't help but admire when they heard the clever plan of Scarlet Smoke, "I usually see that you kid is silent, but I didn't expect to be so smart at the critical moment!" ”
Scarlet Yan listened, coughed a few times in embarrassment, pointed at the two people casually, and said, "It's good to send the two of you to the laxative, and the rest of the people are watching the Southern Army in the same place, once they leave, we will do it immediately!" ”
After Scarlet Smoke came up with such a few good ideas, Scarlet Smoke had long become the recognized head of their group of soldiers, so what Scarlet Smoke said, the two soldiers also willingly did it, took laxatives, and hurried to the upper reaches of the river.
Scarlet Smoke They waited in place, and when the sun set, they saw that the Southern Army took water from the river and began to cook, and when Scarlet Smoke and their hearts jumped to their throats.
This mission can only succeed, not fail, if it fails, they really have only one way to die!
After waiting anxiously for a quarter of an hour, I finally saw that the soldiers who were sticking to the grain field began to stir, clutching their stomachs, and ran to the hut one by one, and for a moment, the guard in the grain field really became lax.
"Success, success, success!" The tense expressions of the scarlet smoke finally showed a smile, and a boulder hanging tightly on their hearts slowly fell.
"I'm going to burn their food!" When a soldier who is anxious sees this, he is already impatient, such a good opportunity, such a great credit, who else can I be?
After saying that, he put aside his steps and hurried over, as if he had won, igniting the food of the Southern Army.
