"The fire extinguished, one team followed me to explore the way, the second team maneuvered, and the third team guarded the station, the knife was unsheathed, the arrow was bowed, and the fireworks were ready."

He Miao quickly commanded to go down, put away the sheepskin map closely, held the knife in his hand, and set off quietly with the people, alert and dexterous like a leopard.

The sky was dark, the cold snow light came through the cracks in the dark shadowy branches, and a military horse fell to the ground, with the mark of the Li ** team on its body, and the injuries were also old wounds, and it looked like it was a few days old.

There were no human footprints around.

He Miao held her breath, looked around the environment, and gestured.

A thin soldier nodded, picked a tall tree, climbed it with the dexterity of a monkey, and stood on the highest point with three strokes and five divisions, and looked into the distance.

He jumped down, pointed in a direction, and whispered, "I see a faint fire, looming." ”

The faces of the crowd were solemn.

If the mountain people go out during this season and spend the night in the forest, they will definitely light a large bonfire to keep warm and drive away wild animals.

If there is a fire, it means that there is no fire.

looming, indicating that the other party has the intention to cover up.

The situation is extraordinary.

He Miao frowned and looked at the dead military horse, thinking of Liu Ying and the others who went to greet the envoys of the Shen State, and a sense of foreboding arose.

According to the plan, Liu Ying and the others will not return to Huben City, but will go back to Longcheng along the widest road.

It had been five full days since they left, and theoretically they should have surpassed the location of Tiger Ben City and been closer to Long City.

But the sudden appearance and death of this military horse is very worrying.

He Miao gestured and led everyone silently to the place where the fire flickered.

They were all wearing leather jackets and hats, and their white clothes were inside and outward, which hid their figures well.

They ran and ran, watching and listening to all directions, and walked more alertly and quickly than the wolves in the mountains.

Without alerting the other party, they lurked downwind.

There was a clearing in the woodland, and more than twenty tents were set up one after another, and more than a dozen people in leather jackets walked back and forth patrolling with swords, and in the largest tent in the middle, the fire was faintly visible.

More than a dozen military horses were tied to trees, kicking their legs restlessly.

It's Jingzhong people.

Suddenly, there was a miserable cry from the largest tent, it was a woman's voice.

The patrolling Jingzhong people laughed lewdly: "This Liguo lady is really screaming." ”

"I heard that it's still the daughter of their prime minister."

"What kind of Sibin from Honglu Temple is that?"

Liu Ying?!

The hair of the seedlings stood on end.

Why, Liu Ying, who was supposed to be on the way back to Longcheng, appeared here?

Where are the soldiers who escorted Liu Ying?

Where did the messenger of Shen go?

There was another terrible scream, which pierced people's ears, their hearts beat faster, and cold sweat broke out.

The people in Jingzhong who were patrolling all stopped in unison, pricked up their ears and listened for a moment, and let out a burst of obscene laughter.

He Miao clenched the long knife and silently calculated how many people and horses the other party had, and how many chances he could have if he made a move.

The woman's screams turned into staccato cries, and He Miao gestured to her companions.

Have them count each other's numbers separately.

She waited anxiously for it to get dark, and the woman's cry had turned into an even more miserable howl.

Finally, the last glimmer of twilight is swallowed up by the night, and the number of people is detected.

After assigning their respective tasks, the seedlings jumped up.

Deftly avoid the patrolling soldiers and go outside the largest tent.

The sharp dagger silently cut through the tarpaulin, and everything in the tent was exposed.

The half-naked woman was prostrate on the ground, throwing a torn cyan official uniform and a snow-white fox fur stained with blood.

Several men surrounded him and violently assaulted him, and one of them, an exceptionally tall man, kicked the woman from time to time.

The woman was silent, as if she were dead.

He Miao gestured to the deputy behind him, and the deputy quickly left.

After a while, a terrible neighing of horses sounded, and then a tent caught fire, and the light of the fire lit up the whole woods.

The shouts of killing rang out, and the people in the tent stopped, picked up their swords and went out, shouting loudly, "What's the matter?" ”

In the blink of an eye, only a motionless woman remained in the tent.

The seedlings cut open the tarpaulin and went inside.

Her hand was about to touch the woman, but she suddenly changed her mind, quickly withdrew her hand, quickly turned off the lights, and withdrew outside.

At the same time, a shrill whistle echoed through the woods, and someone shouted, "Chief, withdraw!" It's a trap! Snare! ”

Dense rockets rained down on the tent, and He Miao suspected that she might turn into a hedgehog.

She gritted her teeth and trotted at the cat's waist, shooting countless arrows away.

His men rushed over to join her, and in his hesitation, he gasped and said, "Chief, you almost died." ”

The largest tent was on fire by this time, and if she had slowed down by half a beat, she would have to fold here today.

Many Jingzhong people wearing leather jackets poured out from the depths of the dense forest and shouted: "Capture He Miaomiao alive!" ”

A bloodthirsty light flashed in He Miao's eyes, and he shot a ringing arrow with his backhand, ordering someone to launch fireworks to notify the enemy of the attack.

Kill in the dark, kill exhausted.

Joining up with the A-shaped team that had come to reinforce after hearing the news, at dawn, they were besieged in a small mountain pass.

The body is exhausted to the extreme, and the person is more than half broken.

He Miao was hit by an arrow, half of her leg was numb, she lost too much blood, and she began to hallucinate.

It was far from Huben City, and she didn't know if she would be able to hold out until reinforcements arrived.

He Miao tried to keep his eyes open and assigned his deputy: "If I die or faint, you will be the commander." ”

Repelling another wave of attacks, she pulled out the parchment blueprint she had hidden close to her and prepared to burn it.

I have memorized those road conditions, and if I can survive, I can redraw them at any time, and if I can't, I must not fall into the hands of the enemy.

No sooner had the parchment than a black feathered arrow burst through the air, and the deputy lunged forward, blocking the deadly arrow for her.

"He Miaomiao." The tall Jingzhong man put away the longbow in his hand, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his lips: "Give me the drawings, spare you from dying." ”

He Miao recognized this feather arrow, it was this kind of arrow that almost killed Xu Nan at the beginning, the black feathers were too unique.

Ignoring the memory of the death of the grieving deputy, she raised the parchment drawing: "Who are you?" Why do you know this? ”

The man said: "The contemptible surname is Xiao Mingyang, and my father was once the chief general of Longcheng. ”

No wonder, the two times in distress were black feather arrows, He Miao smiled: "It turned out to be Xiao Lao's cub." ”

The people who survived laughed "haha".

Xiao Yang's face was expressionless: "Do you want to know why I know you have drawings?" A woman betrayed you. ”
