Chapter Twenty-Three: The Strange Fog

At the east gate of the county, an army of about 100 people wearing soft armor and equipped with standard spears and scimitars walked out of it.

Zhao Wuxing lifted the reins and exhaled: "Woo ....."

Then stopped in front of the army.

Seeing this, the rest of the military horses also stopped.

A man dressed as a head catcher on a horse in the team came to Zhao Wudren's car and said respectfully: "County Lieutenant Zhao, the men and horses of the Zhou gang leader have taken the lead in setting off, and they want us to enter the foot of Longpan Mountain for a rendezvous. ”

Zhao Wuxing nodded, answered "Okay", and then swept his eyes over the five hundred county guards under his command, and waved his hand: "Let's go!" Come with me to suppress the bandits!! ”

"I wish to follow Lord Zhao!" The morale of these county soldiers is high.

Seeing this, Zhao Wudaunt turned the reins, shouted "drive", and rode forward, followed by five hundred troops.

At the top of the city wall, in a corner that could avoid the sight of the people below, Li Mu frowned slightly.

With so many things in series, he was a little suspicious that the people who were reselling supplies outside the city were Zhao Wuxing's men.

Even if you are bold enough to guess, Zhao Wuxing is the mastermind.

But now it seems that judging from the degree of support for him by his soldiers, there is no need for Zhao Wuxing to collude with the mountain bandits at all.

You must know that he has a great future in his own right, and coupled with the love of his subordinates, he really can't imagine any reason for Zhao Wuxing to betray.

Could it be that there was someone else who resold supplies and equipment outside the city?

unprovoked, once again shrouded a layer of fog in this anti-bandit operation.

When the figure of the army was far away, Li Mu jumped off the city wall and continued to follow alone.

This time, there are three people in the Black Tiger Gang's Qi and Blood Realm on the surface, namely the old gang leader Zhou Yuanji, Xue Lao, and his master, Zhou Dahu.

Although Xue Lao is old, he cultivates himself on weekdays, and he has already raised himself to the peak, which is not bad from the peak combat power of his own youth.

His master Zhou Dahu was in a worse state, but fortunately, the Black Tiger Soul Breaking Knife he cultivated was particularly good at fighting, and it was estimated that it would not be a problem to drag one person.

As for the old gang leader, Li Mu also has no bottom in his heart.

The old gang leader's current state made him unpredictable, but as an old Qi and Blood Realm powerhouse, the old gang leader had already reached the peak of the Qi and Blood Realm, and the combat power that he could burst out was unimaginable.

And he hides as a secret hand, and can explode at any time to catch them off guard.

The mountain trail is rugged.

Li Mu shuttles like an agile cheetah.

The shadows of the trees quickly retreated.

Finally, after a stick of incense.

Only then did he see a group of soldiers led by Zhao Wuxing behind him at the top of a tree.

At the same time, looking ahead, the people of the Black Tiger Gang had already arrived.

The two horses are not on the same trail.

The paths here in Longpan Mountain are interconnected, and they are half a stick of incense away from each other, which is herringbone-shaped.

In this way, it is also to prevent the leakage of information in advance, and there are bandits who slip away from a small road.

After a rough count, the Black Tiger Gang gathered about 1,000 people, but 200 of them took on the role of logistics and did not participate in specific battles.

In other words, this time, with the regular army led by Zhao Wuxing, more than 1,300 people officially participated in the battle.

Return to the team.

His appearance did not attract anyone's attention.

The old gang leader nodded slightly at him.

Then he didn't raise his head and said, "No problem? ”

Li Mu shook his head.

"I don't see it."

Hearing this, Zhou Yuanji suddenly put down the pen in his hand, got up and said with a smile.

"That's no problem, Lao Zhao is a bull temper after all. I really can't think of any way to make that guy even ignore his bull temper. ”

Li Mu nodded lightly.

He was not familiar with Zhao Wuxing, but since the old gang leader said so, there was a high probability that it would be fine.

However, there should be caution, but there will still be no less.

Lift the curtains!

Li Mu followed the old gang leader out of the carriage and rode a few blood-red BMWs instead.

"Up the hill!"

"Yes."

The order is given.

Immediately, everyone was ready to go as quickly as possible.

.....

The mountain breeze is gentle, the treetops are shaking, and the broken shadows are mottled.

The scenery on Longpan Mountain is beautiful, and a group of people go up the mountain and find that everything around them is peaceful.

But it's precisely this peace that makes people feel very weird.

The scenery in front of you is just right, with ancient trees and forests, and sometimes birds and birds flying over the top.

But... What about bandits?

They made such a big movement at the bottom of the mountain, how could the bandits on Longpan Mountain not notice it.

If the vigilance had been so poor, then this group of bandits would have been eliminated many times.

A team of more than 1,000 people climbed halfway up the mountain, and the two teams converged directly, but the expected mountain bandits never appeared.

It's like two people meeting to fight with you punching me and kicking me, but suddenly, a punch hits the air.

This feeling of escaping from what was originally planned only makes one fall into greater unease.

Just when everyone was a little confused.

There was a sudden commotion at the front of the procession and a halt.

Li Mu stepped over the crowd in a few steps and came to the front.

Without saying much to the people around him, he saw the mountains and forests in front of him, silently wrapped in a thick mist.

Black Mist!!

Although it is very different from the fog seen in the abandoned buildings, it is more like a natural formation.

But it still made him feel a little uneasy.

Just as he was considering whether to ask the old gang leader to retreat.

There was a sudden panic around.

The sound of drawing a knife sounded, alarming Li Mu, who was thinking.

He subconsciously looked up.

On the horror of the discovery.

The fog moved.

This thick layer of gray fog seemed to be automatically recognized, and it rushed straight here.

At this time, it was too late to retreat, and the speed at which the fog was moving was so fast that it took less than a cup of tea to drown out everyone.

The old gang leader was also alarmed, and he also came to the front to appease everyone.

The fog came abnormally, coupled with the strange behavior of the mountain bandits along the way, and finally someone couldn't hold back and suggested to retreat.

But at this time, Zhao Wuxing stepped forward.

shouted: "Everyone is not allowed to retreat in the slightest change according to the wartime lineup, and those who violate the order will be killed!" ”

"Yes."

Obviously, after these words, everyone stayed quietly in place, no longer messing around.

After Zhao Wuxing finished giving the order, he turned his head with a trace of sadness on his face.

"Old Zhou, I think something is wrong with this fog, why don't you retreat!"

Obviously, although Li Mu didn't tell him about the strangeness of this group of mountain bandits, his instinct to lead the army and lead the battle for many years still made him sense that something was wrong.

Zhou Yuanji pondered for a moment, and secretly quickly exchanged views with Li Muyi.

Seeing that both of them had plans to retreat, they had to give an order.

But when everyone turned around and looked back, they realized.

The road is gone.

Suddenly, a team of more than 1,000 people couldn't stop rioting.
