He didn't even need to dismount, he looked sideways for a while and said, "The convoy of officers and soldiers is going here." ”

There are many forks in the road on the west road, and the officers and men have taken great pains to choose this road.

Further on, the giant tree fell sideways to the side of the road, twisting and turning.

"Hey, there's a sign of heavy moving on the ground." Lian Deng looked down and took a closer look, "The weight is amazing, and the sand and mud on the surface of the ground have been swept off." ”

"Are these giant trees?" He Lingchuan came down to inspect the giant sequoia, "The section is very new, the wood juice has not dried up, and it has been cut down for less than an hour." ”

"Officers and soldiers use it to block the way, very smart."

That being said, both of them were a little apprehensive. It turned out that he was already so close to the officers and soldiers, and the journey was less than an hour, so what about Lu Yao?

How far is he from the officers and soldiers?

He Lingchuan's face sank like water: "Go faster." ”

Further up the hill, there was a thick fog.

"It's foggy!" Lian Deng was annoyed, "I can't see the road clearly." ”

He Lingchuan glanced at him, and his eyes were puzzled: "Can't see clearly?" ”

"Ah, I'm about to lose my fingers." Lian Dengqi said, "Don't you think? Hey, there's light in you. ”

"Light?" He Lingchuan lowered his head, and sure enough, he saw a hazy shimmer of light emanating from his body.

Yuan Li?

This shows that the straight-line distance between him and the officers and soldiers is very close, and it is within the scope of the effective order of He Chunhua's society.

When he set off from Blackwater City, He Chunhua temporarily included his eldest son in the army and promoted him to lieutenant. Not to mention preference, this is just a martial arts job with a little sesame, but if you are in the army, you are eligible to enjoy the Yuan Force bonus.

What is the use of Yuan Force in this? In He Lingchuan's opinion, there was only a very turbulent layer of fog floating in the mountains and forests, which could not block his vision.

As soon as the words fell, Lian Deng walked towards the mountain forest on the right. He Lingchuan grabbed him: "What are you doing?" ”

Lian Deng's face was inexplicable: "Walking." ”

"The road is here." He Lingchuan pointed ahead, "Where are you going?" ”

"Isn't that a cave?"

"......" He Lingchuan understood, "Come with me." I don't know what formation my dad has laid out, and only with the blessing of Yuan Li can I recognize the way. ”

Lian Deng had to obediently comply, and he talked as he went:

"I'm a good girl, isn't this just hitting the tree?"

Then walked over.

Although Wu Shaoyi planned to return to the royal court, he had not yet met with He Chunhua and had not yet become a member of the official army, so Wu Shaoyi and his subordinates could not enjoy the bonus of Yuan Li. In Lian Deng's opinion, He Lingchuan led him to either hit a tree or cross a mountain, and sometimes it was even more excessive, and he walked straight to the cliff of Baiyun, which made his liver tremble.

As a result, the two of them were good and had no problems.

It's good to have the blessing of Yuan Li. Lian Deng sighed, missing the days when he could also enjoy the Yuan Force bonus in the past.

As he walked, He Lingchuan suddenly stopped and sighed.

"What's wrong?" In Lian Deng's opinion, the two were just about to hit a mountain wall.

"I saw Lu Yao, on the mountain road across the cliff." He Lingchuan was solemn, "Pei Xinyong walked with him, followed by a large group of people, at least one thousand seven or eight." ”

His voice was very low, and with this kind of "few" terrain at the moment, the sound could easily echo between the valleys.

Now he and the thief army on the opposite side are equivalent to the left and right hooks in the shape of "several", and although there is a deep cliff and ravine between the two sides, the line of sight is unobstructed.

At least for He Lingchuan, he could directly see everyone on the opposite mountain road.

Lian Deng whispered: "They're also in circles? ”

“…… No! He Lingchuan observed for a moment before saying, "They are on the right path, they have not gone far or circled. ”

Lian Dengqi said: "That's not right, right? "Everyone is a rebel, he was blinded, but Lu Yao didn't, what kind of heavenly principle is this?

He Lingchuan sneered: "He is holding a strip of cloth in his hand, and the other end of the strip of cloth is in the sky...... Well, I saw that kestrel now. This thing is flying in the sky, leading them out of the fog. ”

Lian Deng suddenly said: "Yes, the bird is flying high in the sky, and the formation can't blind its eyes!" ”

If the kestrel can see through it, the formation will naturally not be able to trap Lu Yao.

What to do?

"Can you shoot it down at this distance?"

Lian Deng shook his head decisively: "It's too far, it's better to say if it's closer." Well, my archery skills aren't particularly outstanding. ”

He Lingchuan looked at him with disdain. Is this a euphemism for "sucking"?

Give you a chance, you're useless!

"There's a path on the side, let's get closer and figure it out." The ranks of officers and soldiers are moving slowly, and it is only a matter of time before they are caught up by the mountain bandits if they go on like this.

The two of them quickened their horses, bypassing the huge zigzag cliff, and a hundred feet behind the thieves, there was another path leading to the mountain.

The road was uneven, and there were many branches, and the two horses barely walked half a mile, and they could not go any further.

He Lingchuan and Lian Deng had no choice but to abandon their horses and walk.

By this time they were running in the woods halfway up the mountain, almost parallel to the rebels, but at an altitude of about four or five feet above them.

The reason why they do not climb the ridge is because the ridge is bare, and it is difficult to hide from the sharp eyesight of the kestrel.

"There's a chance!" Although Lu Yao and the others rode along the way, the direction of the kestrel was changing from time to time, and they did not dare to ride their horses and gallop, after all, the road conditions were complicated.

One is in the sky and the other is on the ground, and the trouble I often face is that the trees on the roadside are too high, and the cloth strips will occasionally hang on the treetops......

Whenever this happens, the kestrel must deflect the course, wrap the tangled strip of cloth back, and then continue to lead the way, otherwise it will lead the owner into the ditch.

He Lingchuan explained the situation to Lian Deng in a whisper, and then said, "At that time, it had to fly down, and this can be used." Let's get closer to the treetops, within eight feet, can you shoot? ”

He still said more, and the treetops in front of him were at most six zhang and nineteen meters high.

"Yes!" This Lian Deng is sure, "I can hit it with a slingshot!" ”

"Okay, keep up."

The two quietly anchored themselves on the side of the thieves, hiding themselves through the dense canopy of trees, while waiting for an opportunity.

God really treats He Lingchuan well.

That is, after half a burnt incense, the opportunity came.

This time, the strip of cloth accidentally hangs on a huge camphor tree.

It's too big for kestrel to avoid.

Lu Yao found that the cloth strip was hanging solidly, and pulled it twice to find that it did not move, so he whistled to notify the top.

Hearing this, the kestrel descended and prepared to circumnavigate the branch and pull the strip of cloth back.

If it can't be pulled back, the bandits will have to go up the tree to untie the cloth strips themselves, which has already happened once before, so Lu Yao also reminded it to be more careful.

This moment was a godsend for He Lingchuan and the others, who were standing on the mountain wall and three or four feet taller than the thieves on the ground.

I'm sorry for myself if I don't shoot.

Seeing the kestrel descending with its wings and rushing towards the treetops, He Lingchuan said like a gnat: "Quick! ”

It was too close to the thief army, and if Lu Yao and the others found out, they really couldn't be sure to escape.

The two of them rushed here, and Lian Deng took a long breath before he had time to catch his breath, took a bow from his back in his hand, took aim with an arrow, and shot out with a "Hugh"!

Whether it is success or failure depends on this arrow.

The sound of breaking the sky is very weak, how can the kestrel be extremely alert, the feather arrow has not yet touched its body, its wings are slightly open, one turned over, and it actually narrowly avoided it!

The arrow was almost against its belly.

However, a miss is a miss.

The hearts of the two of them were half cold.

It's too bad that if the target misses the target, it will make the kestrel give an early warning. At that time, the 178th bandit below will surround and beat the two of them, and that can really be in any position.

Rubbish! Waste Waste Waste! He Lingchuan scolded repeatedly in his heart, and when he saw the kestrel turn over, he turned his head and looked at the hiding place of the two, with a sharp beak, ready to chirp.

No, it has to keep its mouth shut! He subconsciously pulled out the broken knife at his waist and threw it over.

Although the knife was thrown at a high speed, the path was crooked, and it arced in mid-air, and it flew behind the kestrel, and of course it didn't care.

Unexpectedly, this thing naturally turned around and went around again.

The kestrel turned to avoid it, but it was too late.

The two of them saw a handful of blood mist burst out in mid-air, and the kestrel screamed and fell straight down!

This, this is also done?

Both of them were stunned.

He Lingchuan subconsciously opened his mouth wide and looked at his right hand.

O the right hand of God.

"Run!" Lian Deng didn't have time to give him a thumbs up, grabbed his arm and dragged him forward, "Let's go, don't go and become meat sauce!" ”

Without saying a word, the two rushed to the ridge and turned on the crazy running mode.

Of course, it was He Lingchuan who led the way, and Lian Deng followed closely. Dense fog is the best protective color, and it is safe to run away.

The thief army below also found that something was wrong, Lu Yao took a few steps forward to catch the kestrel, and saw that half of its wings were gone, and there was a long cut on half of its abdomen, which was deeply visible, but he didn't know what the murder weapon was.

Is it an arrow? Not like.

Heartache and anger, he stretched out his hand and pointed straight ahead: "There are people there!" ”

The thieves marched forward.

Pei Xinyong pointed to the right and said in a deep voice: "I heard footsteps there, and gravel falling." ”

"In the formation, I'm afraid even the sense of hearing will be disturbed!" Lu Yao was still sane when he was angry, and said without hesitation, "Chase separately!" Watch your step! ”

The two of them didn't say much, but each grabbed one end of the cloth strip and led one of his men to move forward, and the other to the right.

Their hearts were clear, and the kestrel was seriously injured and landed, and it was no longer able to lead the way. The only way to do this is to catch the sneak attacker to show the way, so that the thieves have a chance to escape from the fog.

The only people who can hurt kestrel in the fog are the scouts of officers and soldiers.

This He Lingchuan ran on the mountain ridge, and Lian Deng said as he ran: "Brother Chuan, why didn't you show off your flying knife throwing skills earlier, you have to see me make a fool?" ”

He Lingchuan laughed dryly: "I've never practiced, it's blind." He didn't think much of it at the time.

Even Deng's face was wrinkled. Blind throwing can be so accurate, how can he be embarrassed by this practice?

He Lingchuan remembered the arc drawn by the broken knife, which was beautiful and strange, and gave the kestrel a back attack directly from behind.
