A sturdy man with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks quickly climbed a tree, and there were actually 8 people hiding on it.

"Head, they've been found!"

"Hmph, I'm so calm."

A man who looked less than 1.6 meters tall was actually the head of the group, and he jumped neatly from the tree and walked to a bush, behind which sat three people, all armed with firearms.

"Brother Liu, I've found them, let's attack."

"Brother Li, the three of us listen to your command, this is what Shopkeeper Xia has repeatedly told, you don't have to give orders politely."

The elite of the explorers who were picked out by Xia Jie to deal with them must be the explorers, after all, the five days of Aobai they left a deep impression on him.

This dwarf surnamed Li was not an ordinary person, he was a well-known explorer in the Indochina Peninsula, and was often hired by trading houses to fight against the natives of Indochina. He is not a pure-blooded Han Chinese, but a mixed race of ethnic minorities and Han people in the Lingnan area, and he has four bloodlines: Bai, Zhuang, Miao, and Han.

This is because of the policy of land reform and resettlement policy and the integration policy of ethnic minorities that began to be implemented in the Wanli Dynasty.

The policy of reclaiming the land caused dissatisfaction among a large number of Tusi chieftains in the western regions, and the only battle the Southern Army fought in the country was to suppress them. The largest mountain on the heads of the ethnic minorities in the southwest is gone, and they cautiously came into contact with the Ming government for a few years before realizing that they would live better without Tusi.

Therefore, when the policy of free intermarriage of ethnic minorities appeared, those ethnic minorities of the younger generation, who thought that they were the people of the Ming Dynasty, responded to the policy very enthusiastically. Because the traditions of their homeland were too strong, they simply left their hometown and freely intermarried with the Han Chinese in Guangzhou, on the Indochina Peninsula, on the islands opened up by the Protectorate of Annam.

And these are all things that have been in Wanli for 10-15 years, and now it will be Wanli 53 years, and the 4th generation of mixed race has been born.

This short man surnamed Li is the third generation, and his parents are mixed races under ethnic integration, so he has 4 bloodlines. This gives him a natural advantage when it comes to pulling other Southwestern minorities or mixed-race races into his ranks. So he pulled up a team of no pure-blooded Han Chinese, all mixed race or ethnic minorities.

This kind of team is actually not uncommon in the Annan Metropolitan Protectorate, and the man surnamed Li accidentally offended people in the Annan Metropolitan Protectorate, so the whole team simply moved to Dongshan Prefecture.

Hiding in trees is a habit they have developed in the Annam Prefecture.

They had cooperated with the people who had firecrackers many times in the Annan Metropolitan Protectorate, and they knew very well the role of firecrackers, so the man surnamed Li obviously had Xia Jie's order, and he still had to ask for the opinions of the three firecrackers repeatedly. He hoped that the three musketeers would cooperate well with him and minimize the casualties on his side.

After all, he was facing a few people who they all thought were good hands after internal discussions, and there were at least 4 people with firearms.

The politeness was in place, and the fact that he had command was announced to the public again through the mouths of the three musketeers, so the man surnamed Li nodded and began to assign tasks:

"The task given to me by Shopkeeper Xia is to make those rats stop harassing the team, and he didn't say that he wants us to annihilate them all, so my idea is to follow them, find an opportunity to directly capture a lone first, and torture the information of this group of people from his mouth."

Hearing that it wasn't for all of them to worship them, the three firecrackers were unhappy, but just now they personally recognized the authority of the man surnamed Li, and the man surnamed Li also moved out of the order of the shopkeeper Xia, so they could only nod helplessly.

Fortunately, the man surnamed Li then added a sentence that made them feel a lot better: "They will inevitably panic when they find out that there is one person missing, and they will also get together to discuss the situation, so we will take advantage of this time to see if we can eat them at once!" ”

The person who was targeted by them was Cui Yongzhi, and the five people who worshiped were exploring the way one after the other according to the two people taught by Li Hongji, one person was broken, and the two people in the middle were marching in the formation of the center. But this formation is no problem, any link is attacked, and it can respond in time to notify others.

But they are also facing masters this time.

Cui Zhiyong heard the simulated bird call of Nigdo in front of him, and knew that the team was starting to move, and waited for about 5 minutes before he got out of the bushes and moved quickly in the direction of the bird call, he did not know that he was completely exposed to more than a dozen people.

After walking for a while, there was another bird call in front of him, so Cui Zhiyong did not hesitate to find a place to hide and then made a bird call.

The 11 subordinates of the man surnamed Li were all exchanging glances, and they sighed that the idea this time was really tricky, and it was the strongest player they had met in their debut.

As far as this warrant is concerned, they have not seen it in a few explorers or dart shops. To put it bluntly, they have only seen similar situations in the Yugoslav army. Thinking of this, he decided to arrest Cui Zhiyong and take action in person.

Soon, there was a bird cry ahead, and Cui Zhiyong waited for about 5 minutes before he walked out of the bushes, advanced a little further and then hid after the bird call, and used the bird call to inform Nigdo in front.

At this time, the man surnamed Li sent 3 good hands to hide in the direction of the bird's call. Because the other party did not walk in a straight line, he could only let the three people ambush between Cui Zhiyong and the birdsong, and looked forward to the direction of the next birdsong still in the ambush of the three people.

His expectations were not disappointed, and the direction of the bird's call did move, but it was still in the ambush circle of three people. Cui Zhiyong still waited patiently for about 300 breaths, which was taught to them by Liu Yifeng.

After silently counting to 300, he stood up and ran in the direction of Nigdo's simulated bird call.

When passing through a bush, a man suddenly jumped out and drew a knife and slashed at him, Cui Zhiyong was startled, but he also made a judgment in an instant: he was ambushed!

It was too late to use the firecracker, so he pulled out the weapon at his waist and fought with the opponent without skill. At the moment of the knife, he judged that his strength was greater than that of the other party, you must know that the other party is prepared to go up and down, and he is unprepared to go up and down, and the other party is far more comfortable than himself in the posture of force, and the strength of that person is not as good as his own, so Cui Yongzhi pressed all his strength on the knife and forced the other party away.

The team of the man surnamed Li is almost all from Lingnan, and now it is not as good as the later generations, and it is still an era when the average height of northerners is much higher than that of southerners. Being taller inevitably means that the upper limit of exercising strength is higher, Cui Yongzhi is half a head taller than the person who sneaked up on him, but if he was before he met Liu Yifeng, he would only be pressed to the ground and rubbed by the other party. But now, after experiencing Li Hongji's training, various systematic aerobic and anaerobic training proposed by Liu Yifeng, and a long-term nutritionally balanced and adequate diet, his strength can definitely be regarded as a strong man among ordinary people in this era.

The man surnamed Li was also surprised that Cui Yongzhi's strength was so great.

Here he made the mistake of inertia: that is, the strength of the firecracker is generally not great. This is the concept that the people surnamed Li cultivated when they cooperated with the firecrackers in the Annan Metropolitan Protectorate, because they rarely saw the firecrackers in hand-to-hand combat, and most of them were supported by other explorers or dart masters, so they had the illusion that they were pampered and did not have much strength.

Regardless of whether those firecrackers in the Annan Metropolitan Protectorate are pampered or not, at least what Li Hongji and Liu Yifeng in Dongshan Prefecture have cultivated is definitely not. Cui Yongzhi picks up the firearm and is the firecracker who meets the standards of the Southern Army, and when he puts down the firearm and picks up the weapon, he is the king of soldiers who meets the standards of the first-class soldiers of the Southern Army.

The person who attacked Cui Yongzhi was pushed away like this, and he didn't even stand firm, but he saw Cui Yongzhi chase after him very decisively, and a shoulder collision knocked him 2 meters away. If it weren't for the other two companions who killed them in time, this person would definitely be mended by Cui Yongzhi after he landed.

"Stick to the point!"

The two shouted, calling out to the other companions. Here, the two people who witnessed Cui Yongzhi relying on his physical fitness to defuse the sneak attack and almost solve his companions also have no confidence, otherwise they would not shout "Idea piercing".

After Cui Yongzhi heard the two people's pleas for help, he immediately reacted that he was ambushed, and there were definitely more than 3 people in front of him, so he turned his head and ran away.

He was just asking for time, and the other party must be someone sent by Dongshan Qianzhuang to deal with them, and he couldn't escape. But I have to warn the remaining 4 people!

So he picked up the fire gun as he ran, took out the fire primer in his right hand, and prepared to light the fire gun and shoot it casually, and the sound of the fire gun would inevitably warn Nigdo in front of him.

But running in the woods, the fire lead never hit the arquebus, and then he missed his reed wheel very much.

And there was a strange sound from the woods overhead, as if a monkey was jumping from tree to treetop, tracking itself. When he looked back, he saw a short man lunging at him from among the treetops.

The man surnamed Li didn't want to jump down like this, in case the other party dodged, he would have to digest the inertia of jumping down, Cui Yongzhi was obviously a master, and when he finished digesting the inertia of jumping down, it was estimated that he would immediately fall into passivity.

But the situation waits for no one, he can see that Cui Yongzhi wants to fire a gun to warn his companions, and now only he can stop him. In order not to let his plan fall short, he had no choice but to jump.

Cui Yongzhi dodged the pounce of the man surnamed Li with a horizontal jump, looked at the man surnamed Li who was rolling on the ground to unload the inertia and impact, and directly went up and kicked him in the ribs.

The man surnamed Li was mentally prepared, so he took this blow, stretched out his hand to endure the severe pain, grabbed Cui Yongzhi's bare feet, and used his own rolling to drive Cui Yongzhi, and both of them fell to the ground.

At this time, the short person naturally took advantage of the speed of getting up, which was not the worst, the worst thing was that Cui Yongzhi threw away the fire primer at the moment of falling, and the fire gun really became a burning stick.

The man surnamed Li, who had stood firm in advance, pulled out two daggers from his waist with both hands, and after a beautiful knife flower, the daggers in both hands attacked Cui Zhiyong's neck and chest one after the other.

Cui Zhiyong didn't have time to pull out the saber on his waist, and he lost the fire lead anyway, so he directly used the fire gun as a weapon.

Unexpectedly, the man surnamed Li saw that Cui Zhiyong actually used a fire gun to block, and instantly withdrew his knife.

"You want to keep this firecracker?"
