Chapter 41: Speechless

After Meimei ate a meal of potato stewed deer steak, Lu Xiao did not rest directly, but walked into another room. It was piled up with all kinds of armor and weapons.

It stands to reason that hiding armor is to kill the head. But in this remote mountain forest, even people are very rare, let alone people from the government. In addition to the old grandson who collects leather, he comes once a month. Where Lu Xiao lives, only a few hunters occasionally arrive here.

Strictly speaking, these weapons are actually some trophies. Since a year ago, Lu Xiao began to encounter some wild boar skin scouts in the mountains.

To be sure, these wild boar-skinned scouts are pretty elite. Since ancient times, the scouts in the army have been elite. These wild boar skins live deep in the mountains and mountains. The body is wild and difficult to train, coupled with its tall stature and strong physique, it is a real strong army in this era.

Of course, from the perspective of the whole era, it is actually a bit worse than the suspicion. At least these people basically didn't have the power to fight back when they faced Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao was born as a horse bandit in his previous life, and he was the best at sneak attacks that came and went like the wind. Later, he became the lord of the city and fought for half his life. Whether it is a small-scale battle or a large-scale strategic layout, it is not comparable to these scouts of wild boar skins.

Not to mention that even if there is no so-called tactical arrangement. The boar scout in a group of six is no match for him. Lu Xiao was in the jungle and used trap bows and arrows to assist in attacking them, mainly because he was afraid that they would see that the situation was bad and escaped.

Lu Xiao is very experienced, and he is very careful in doing these things. Eliminate as many traces as possible afterwards. Let the disappearance of those scouts become an unsolved case. Wild boar skin once dispatched a team of 100 people to search the mountains. But the false clues left by Lu Xiao led them to another mountain. In the end, it was over.

In the past year, Lu Xiao has cleaned up four teams of wild boar skin scouts. Especially in the last three months, I have met three teams. He killed two teams, one of which was a little closer to his quarters. In order not to be surprised, he let the other party go.

You must know that the place where Lu Xiao is now is actually not the northernmost part of the Ming Dynasty. It stands to reason that a hundred miles to the north is considered the territory of the Ming Dynasty. The arrival of wild boar skins in this area is already a very obvious hostile military operation.

The union is now forty-seven years of the year of the Ten Thousand Calendars. Lu Xiao knew in his heart that the big war should break out soon. The only thing that made him feel pain in his eggs was. On the territory of the Ming Dynasty, he saw more than once the scouts of wild boar skins. But he had never seen an equivalent Ming army scout.

The national war is about to start, and the scouts of the Ming Dynasty have not yet gone abroad!!

The next day, Lu Xiao got up for morning exercises. In the past three years, in addition to recovering his original force, he feels that there has been a certain breakthrough in the force value. But he has not fought in actual combat, and he doesn't know how far his true strength has become. Killing a few wild boar skins in the jungle can't test your true combat effectiveness at all.

Not long after the morning exercise began, Lu Xiao suddenly stopped, and then turned his head to look into the distance. As his physical fitness improved, his senses became sharper. I could hear the sound of people talking in the distance.

After a while, a group of men and horses came out of the woods. At the head was Lao Sun Tou, a fur merchant. Come to Lu Xiao once a month and collect his skin. But it's clearly not yet.

And behind the old grandson was a team of soldiers, ten people. Those soldiers were wearing the armor and equipment of the Ming army, and the faces of the leaders were arrogant, and they seemed to be very dissatisfied with the road conditions under their feet.

"That's what you call Orion?" The captain looked at Lu Xiao and asked the old grandson.

"Yes, Master Jun. This little brother Lu is the most powerful hunter in this 500-mile radius. Ordinary hunters enter the mountains, and at most they come to our position. But Brother Lu lives here. He also often went further north to hunt. I'm here with him, and in the past two years, I've received three bearskins alone.

If you talk about who knows more about this deep mountain, you can walk there and can't go. I'm afraid that no one knows better than this little brother Lu. Brother Lu, say hello to the military master. ”

Lu Xiao had already guessed in his heart what this soldier was looking for him. But his face was still impassive.

"Old grandson, do you have something to do with me?"

"It's not that I'm looking for you, it's the military master looking for you. If the military masters want to go to the northeast to fight Tartars, they need a guide in the mountains. Speaking of guides, your generation is yours. ”

"That's it, let him follow us." The captain didn't even bother to listen to Lu Xiao's response. directly gave the order and asked Lu Xiao to follow behind.

"I need to pack my things." Lu Xiao said. And as soon as these words came out, the captain's face suddenly couldn't be hanged. I didn't even want to whip it directly.

"You dare to disobey military orders!"

Lu Xiao turned sideways and gave way to the horsewhip. Then he reached out and grabbed the whip directly. The captain only felt an irresistible huge force attacking, and the whole person was directly pulled by Lu Xiao.

"Bold!"

Seeing this, the rest of the soldiers immediately drew their swords and surrounded Lu Xiao in the middle.

..................

After about twenty breaths, Lu Xiao squatted in front of the captain and asked.

"Whose soldiers are you?"

"Back to the hero...... We are the scouts of General Du's soldiers. ”

"Mr. Du, Juniper?"

“...... Be!! "The captain didn't dare call Juniper by his name.

"What is your mission?"

"Explore the way and find a path for the army to pass."

Lu Xiao was silent for a moment, although he had long known that this battle was extremely poor. But hearing this, he still couldn't help complaining.

"When will the army be launched?"

"Ten days later."

Ten days later, the army was marching out. You haven't even found the Tao now? When the time comes, how are you going to fight? ”

"......" the scout captain was speechless.

"The identity of the scout, belonging, that's a secret in the army, just tell me if you don't want to? What would you do if I was a Tartar? ”

"......" the scout captain was speechless.

"When will the army be launched, it can be regarded as a military priority, right? I won't say how you know that scout. But when I asked you, you didn't hesitate at all?

"......" the scout captain was speechless.

“...... Forget it. Do you have horses? ”

"Yes, yes..... One man and two riders, just outside the woods. ”

"Very good, Lu Xiao said and turned around and entered the house, and it didn't take long to bring out a large pile of Tartar armor and equipment."

"Put on these gears."

"This ......"

"Don't recognize?"

"No, know, know, it's the armor of the Tartars......"

"That's right, the Tartar scouts have been operating around since a year ago. I've killed a few teams, but there's definitely more. Many of them should have gone further south beyond where I lived. The entire mountainous area should have been thoroughly explored by the Tartars a year ago. And you're only starting to explore today!! ”

“......”

The scout captain was speechless.
