In the canyon.

The war has ended, and naturally there will be no one left behind for Lu Dongzan's clan soldiers and die-hard elements, but Cheng Chumo and Luo Tong's delay in coming made Qin Huaidao realize that he had lost the pursuit, and temporarily handed over the two armies to Cheng Chubi to command, arranged to treat the wounded, and after setting up camp, he took the guard regiment to catch up all the way.

When it was dark, he met Luo Tong, who was tracked back along the way, and after learning the situation, Qin Huaidao looked at the endless mountains around him and pondered, if Lu Dongzan went all the way forward, Cheng Chumo should be able to catch up, but it is possible that Cheng Chumo was ambushed and had died in battle, so he couldn't come back, or maybe Lu Dongzan didn't move forward at all, Cheng Chumo lost it, and because it was too late, he had to find a place to camp temporarily.

Either is not good news.

"Luo Wu!"

"In!" Luo Wu hurriedly ran forward.

"Pass the order, go down in groups of three, scatter the search around, don't expose the torch in your heart, pay more attention to the valley, the mountain pass, as soon as it gets dark, the temperature will drop sharply, Lu Dongzan's soldiers and horses can bear it, his family will definitely not be able to bear it, it will inevitably make a fire, find the target to startle the snake, quickly come to report, can't find the target, and return here after dawn."

"Obey!" Luo Wu quickly summoned the guard regiment and gave the order.

There are five battalions of the guard regiment, leaving one battalion to protect Qin Huaidao's safety, and the remaining four battalions, each battalion is responsible for one direction, as for how to split the battalion below, Luo Wu doesn't care, that's the battalion commander's business.

Soon, the men of the four battalions quickly dispersed and disappeared into the surrounding mountains, all of whom were specially trained and selected from a hundred miles, and knew how to track and search.

"Leave the wounded soldiers behind, and the rest will move on with me." Qin Huaidao looked at Luo Tong.

Luo Tong nodded knowingly, left the wounded soldiers, explained a few words, and led the others to follow Qin Huaidao and continue to move forward.

Along the way, Qin Huaidao walked, his eyes swept around the ground like radar, looking for traces, and Luo Wu scattered with the soldiers of the battalion left behind, also searching carefully.

After a stick of incense.

Qin Huaidao suddenly stopped, looked to the side suspiciously, slowly looked forward, and landed in a ravine, which was a small ravine formed by the intersection of two mountain peaks, very inconspicuous, and the same small ravine was everywhere along the way.

"What did you find?" Luo Tong asked curiously.

"Look at the ground, the horseshoe prints behind are dense, and although there are a lot of horses' hooves in front, if you look closely, you can find that there are fewer than the rear, this is the place where you and Cheng Chumo are separated, right?" Qin Huaidao asked rhetorically.

Luo Tong looked around carefully, nodded and said, "That's right, it's here, you're here...... God! That's how you see it? Tell me about it. ”

"If you lead people to continue forward, the horseshoe prints on the ground should be the same as the front and back, but if you lead people back, there will be fewer horseshoe prints in front, although it is not obvious, but if you look closely, you can still see the abnormality, the only ravine that can be left here is the one in front, which is very inconspicuous and not easy to be noticed."

"I'll take a look." Luo Tong excitedly ran over to see that there were no horseshoe prints on the ground, but the footprints left by someone passing by were not obvious.

At this time, Qin Huaidao also came over, squatted down to carefully check the footprints, grabbed a little dirt and carefully distinguished, looked at other places, immediately got up, clapped his hands and said: "Someone left from here, the time is not more than two hours, it is completely consistent." ”

"It doesn't look like it, and there aren't many footprints." Luo Tong reminded.

Luo Wu has also received special training, and he has a lot of experience in tracking, and he can't help but say: "Uncle, it's someone who is suspicious of erasing the footprints with something, if you don't find a problem with the horse's hoof prints, even if you see a few footprints left on the ground, you won't be suspicious, or Uncle is smart." ”

"Even if you erase it, it will leave a trace, right? For example, if you wipe it with a tree branch, there will be a scratch on the ground. Luo Tong said unconvinced.

"What if you use wool to shoulder the shoulders?" Qin Huaidao pointed to a pinch of wool on the ground and asked rhetorically.

Luo Tong looked down, the small wool on the ground was not a sheep naturally falling off, but processed, the wool was swept away, the footprints were smoothed, but there were almost no obvious traces left on the ground, and he was immediately overjoyed and shouted: "Guard regiment, abandon the horse, leave a team of guards, and the others will come with me!" ”

"Uncle, you are not kind, this is our job." Luo Wu quit.

But where will Luo Tong listen, and rush over with people.

Qin Huaidao smiled, didn't stop it, and followed, Luo Wu was so angry that he wanted to scold, but when he thought that he was an elder, the key was that he couldn't beat it, so he had to hold back his dissatisfaction and hurry up with a battalion of guards.

The moon is in the sky, and the sky and the earth are hazy.

The team took advantage of the moonlight to rush all the way, passing through the small ravine, and the footprints on the ground increased significantly, obviously not hiding it anymore, the footprints went forward along the ridge, and everyone followed the footprints.

An hour or so, a valley appeared ahead, and a bonfire was lit in the leeward.

Seeing the bonfire, everyone's eyes lit up, and their breathing became short, and they finally caught up.

"Stop moving."

Luo Tong decisively gave an order, pressed down with his big hand, signaled to squat down to avoid exposure, bowed his body to Qin Huaidao, and said excitedly: "I found it, it's in the valley in front." ”

Qin Huaidao looked at the valley in front of him, then looked around, and pointed to the two commanding heights nearby out of caution and said, "Luo Wu, arrange for someone to touch it and see if there is a secret whistle." ”

"Understood." Luo Wu hurriedly arranged it.

The two teams of men and horses quickly left, one by one, like wild wolves foraging for food at night, quickly touching forward under the cover of the surrounding terrain, or sneaking, jumping, or detouring, and their movements were extremely skillful, without making a sound.

The others stood still, waiting patiently, Luo Tong looked at the people who touched it and said with envy: "They ...... How can you train it, it's so strong, like an assassin, but it's not like it, can you send some people to train me a force like this? As he spoke, he looked at Qin Huaidao, full of longing.

"Okay, let's wait a minute!" Qin Huaidao agreed indifferently, others can't believe it, Luo Tong is still trustworthy, and improving Luo Tong's strength will only benefit himself.

"Really, talking counts?" Luo Tong was overjoyed.

"When did I lie to you?" Qin Huaidao asked rhetorically.

"Great, it doesn't take much, a few hundred people are enough, and it's used specifically for pre-war intelligence spying, tracking, assassination, and the like, which is absolutely wonderful." Luo Tong smiled excitedly.

Qin Huaidao looked at Luo Tong with some surprise, this guy can see through, if he is not so impulsive and aggressive, he can make another arrangement, his eyes can't help but fall on Luo Wu, the same family, this Luo Wu is obviously calm, more clever, likes to use his brain, and is more suitable for being in charge of special forces than Luo Yingdu.

After chatting for a while, the searchers returned and found no dark sentry.

Luo Tong became excited, and hurriedly said: "Since there is no secret whistle, I don't worry about being exposed in advance, I will take someone to go up first, and I promise not to get out of one." ”

"The fact that there is no dark post at the commanding heights does not mean that there is no dark post along the way, it is better to be careful, Luo Wu, you take someone to touch it, and find that the dark post will be solved directly, and you must not expose your heart." Qin Huaidao admonished.

Luo Wu nodded, and quickly left with a battalion of guards, and soon disappeared into the hazy moonlight.

After Luo Wu walked away, Qin Huaidao signaled Luo Tong to lead people to follow, and went straight to the direction of the valley fire, and his heart was faintly excited-Lu Dongzan, I hope it's you!
