Chapter Thirty-Nine: Capture the Secret Sentinel

After a rough review of the battle in the col last night, the convoy of the Yang Firm had completely turned around and hurried away.

Although the ground beneath his feet was muddy, the speed of the convoy was a few points faster than when it came.

As soon as the carriage gets stuck on the dirt road, several horses will come up and pull it out quickly

As the convoy traveled, they observed the surrounding mountains and forests, and they were afraid that there would be a large wave of bandits lurking in the mountains.

An Su in the carriage couldn't help shaking his head and sighing when he saw that everyone was so full of soldiers.

As a veteran bandit, he knew that those unknown bandits must be happy to see the Yang caravan so flustered.

Because the more panicked they are, the faster they move forward, and the faster their physical and mental strength will be consumed.

It will be very easy for them to actually act in the future.

This is what is written in the book of war as a strategy for exhausting the enemy, or it is called waiting for work at ease.

So, An Su decisively opened the window of the carriage and called Qi Ning to the carriage at the risk of being discovered by Li Yi.

"Miss Qi, you must now go and tell the head of the Yang caravan to slow down the convoy."

Looking at An Su's serious appearance, Qi Ning couldn't help but be curious.

"Seniors are running for our lives at this time, why do you want us to slow down, doesn't this give those bandits a chance to catch up with us?"

Qi Ning raised his own questions.

"If we continue like this, we are not running for our lives, but we are dying."

An Su said with an anxious face, after all, among the people of the Yang caravan, he can be said to be an absolute authority in terms of banditry and robbery.

"Please also make it clear."

Qi Ning saw An Su's anxious face, not like he was joking with himself.

"If I'm not mistaken, there must be people following us in the surrounding mountains and forests right now, and they are now deliberately letting us run for our lives."

"In that case, shouldn't we speed up and escape from their surveillance?"

Qi Ning didn't understand why Ansu still had to slow down the convoy in this situation.

"When wolves hunt on the grassland, they will run with their prey until they are exhausted before attacking, so that they can easily hunt their prey."

Ansu didn't explain to Qi Ning, but told her how wolves hunted their prey on the grassland.

"Senior, mean these people are learning, the wolves are running after us, and consuming our physical strength?"

Qi Ning is also a smart person in Bingxue, and she instantly understood what An Su meant.

"It's not just that it consumes our physical strength, but now everyone is in a tense state, and everyone will be mentally exhausted after a long time, and when the time comes, the result of the real fight can be imagined."

Now Ansu is in the Yang caravan, and once the Yang caravan is attacked, he will definitely be involved.

Thinking about the fact that in the past few days, he, an elite in the bandit world, was first betrayed by bandits and now targeted by bandits, which is simply unlucky.

At this time, An Su was wondering if he should find a Taoist priest to make a hexagram recently, or light less incense and candles for his grandfather.

Just thinking about it, he didn't know who the bandit's ancestor was.

It is said that cats have cats and mice, but he, a bandit, doesn't know that his grandfather is unqualified.

However, those who can be bandits are generally uneducated, and it is not uncommon not to know their ancestors.

But in this Yang caravan, there are indeed two people who know who the ancestor of this bandit is.

These two people are Li Yi and Jingzi Zhengshi, two brothers.

At the beginning, Tai Jizi had clearly told them that the ancestor of the bandits was named Liu Xia Plant.

He is the younger brother of the famous Megumi Yanagishita.

Although this willow plantar is a bandit, it has set the "five beauties of the big thief" among the bandits, and has set a benchmark for the bandits of later generations.

These five beauties are: holiness, bravery, righteousness, wisdom, and benevolence.

To put it simply, those who can know which one to rob and gain more are called saints, those who rush to the first one are called brave, those who are broken are called righteousness, those who determine when to start are called wisdom, and those who share the spoils fairly are called benevolence.

At that time, Li Yi felt very ridiculous when he heard this "big thief five beauties", but after Tai Jizi finished talking about Liu Xia's solution, he felt that although he was a bandit, he was indeed an admirable person.

According to Tai Jizi, this willow foot was in love with a young lady and agreed to meet under the bridge.

However, Miss's father did not agree with Miss to go and lock her in the house, and Liu Xia waited for Miss not to come.

coincided with the heavy rain and the river swelled, and Liu Xiazu was unwilling to lose his trust, and finally drowned in the river holding the bridge pillars.

Just when An Su was thinking nonsense, Qi Ning had already jumped out of the carriage and rushed in the direction of Yang Ping.

After Qi Ning told Yang Ping about An Su's thoughts, Yang Ping thought for a long time and couldn't be sure, so he called Li Yi, Jing Zizheng and the people in charge of the Yang caravan together to discuss.

"I think what Miss Qi said is very reasonable, we run away so chaotically, but it will consume a lot of our physical strength and spirit, once we are tired of running and the other party really kills us, we can only be captured."

Keiko was the first to give her opinion.

"I also think what Miss Qi said makes sense, but if we stop here, I'm afraid they will besiege me here, and we won't be able to last long without water and food."

Yang Qi, as the head of the caravan, also had his own worries about this kind of thing.

"It's not a stop, it's not a stop, it's okay."

Qi Chao said a little dejectedly.

"I think we still have to keep going, but we're not in such a hurry, we're going to go at our usual pace, but we have to be vigilant."

Xiao Derong gave his own advice.

Everyone felt that although the way he said was feasible, it still couldn't solve this fundamental hidden danger.

Just when everyone was at a loss, Li Yi suddenly spoke.

"Everyone pretended to be nothing and continued to move forward, and I secretly broke away from the team to catch a live mouth and come back."

His words made everyone's eyes light up.

It is said that knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is the only way to survive a hundred battles, and now they don't know anything about this group of guys hiding in the shadows.

Therefore, all the plans they make are based on speculation, and only when they know the details of the other party can they make targeted deployments, so that they will not be easily solved by the other party.

As for whether Li Yi can successfully catch the live mouth, in the eyes of everyone, this is not a problem at all.

After a short pause, the Yang caravan accelerated again.

This finally relieved the Night Wolf Battalion soldiers who were watching them in the woods.

Just wait until it gets dark and it'll be time for them to do it.

Last night's battle had caused several wounds to the soldiers of the Night Wolf Battalion, and more than twenty of the Hopeless Army had been killed or wounded.

This made the night wolf Cao Jiangyun very angry.

Their Night Wolf Battalion had been hidden in the Dayu Dynasty for many years, and every year it would pose a great threat to the Dayu Dynasty's material transportation.

Even under the siege and interception of the government, they can still be at ease.

I didn't expect that last night's battle would cause them to lose so many people, although the Hopeless Army was not a soldier of the Night Wolf Battalion, but it was also a subordinate unit established by the Night Wolf Battalion.

He wasn't the only one in their Night Wolf Camp, and he wasn't the real leader of the Night Wolf Camp.

The organizational structure of the Nightwolf Battalion is different from that of other units, and the Nightwolf Battalion is actually a combination of six different units.

The six night wolf battalions numbered only fifty or sixty people, and the leader of each team was called the night wolf.

All six of their teams claim to be the Night Wolf Battalion.

In normal times, they usually operate in different areas, and when there is a major operation, the six teams will be brought together.

These six teams are on an equal footing, and they help each other and compete with each other.

However, within a year, they had one of the six teams of Night Wolves as the real leader of the Night Wolf Battalion, and the cycle was repeated every year.

And yesterday, he took fifty-six night wolf soldiers and more than a hundred hopeless troops to attack the supplies escorted by Ruihe Dart Bureau, and so many people died.

If the other five night wolves knew, they would definitely lose face.

Therefore, Cao Jiangyun had to act quickly tonight to rob the Yang caravan again, which could not only save his image in the hearts of his subordinates, but also enhance the reputation of his night wolf detachment.

When Yang Ping and the others were rushing quickly, Li Yi suddenly flashed into the grass on the side of a wild and grassy road.

When the carriage of the Yang caravan completely disappeared in his eyes, Li Yi quietly showed his head.

He crossed his back with red sleeves and fixed the storm, and Li Yi felt that these two spears would definitely be full of the blood of the bandits tonight.

Li Yi observed the direction of the mountains and forests on both sides of the road for a while, and finally saw the trees swaying regularly in the mountains and forests on both sides.

The corners of Li Yi's mouth finally rose, and he really found the bandits who were following the convoy.

In the mountains and forests on both sides, Li Yi saw a total of five trees shaking.

So Li Yi immediately bent down and touched the cat's body towards the place where the trees were shaking.

He had to sneak into the nearest bandit hiding place as quickly as possible.

Soon, Li Yi saw the tracking master sent by Cao Jiangyun on a tree not far away.

When Li Yi saw him, he was standing on the top branch of a tree, and he stood on tiptoe as the carriage of the Yang caravan grew faster and faster.

He immediately put his hand in his mouth, and then whistled in a different tone as the birds called.

After a while, the other tracking experts in the mountain also let out a loud whistle.

Li Yi sneered and looked at the dark sentry on the tree communicating with the other spies.

In a few moments, the sentry deftly descended from the tree to the ground.

Li Yi wanted to immediately step forward and knock this guy unconscious and take him away, but he saw that the dark whistle did not continue to chase the convoy at the first time, so Li Yi reluctantly thought of making a move and continued to observe.

I saw that the dark sentry pulled out the knife at his waist and carved some patterns on the tree.

Li Yi guessed that this should be a code for these guys to pass messages to each other.

When the dark whistle finished carving the mark and put the knife into the sheath, Li Yi finally acted.

I saw Li Yi rushing out from behind a big tree as quickly as a nimble leopard.

Because he was so fast, his voice stirred up the wind around him.

The man's reaction was very quick, but he still didn't have time.

When he turned around and was about to draw his sword to resist, Li Yi's figure had already arrived in front of the man.

The man just wanted to attack, how could Li Yi give him a chance to attack.

I saw Li Yi's right hand stretched out and quickly grabbed the hand he was about to draw the knife, and then Li Yi pulled the man's hand over with a little force.

Then he sped up behind the man, and the sentry's hand was locked behind his back.

The man saw that his right hand was restrained in an instant, so he immediately raised his left arm, and then an elbow strike struck Li Yi's temple from the left side.

The temple is a human weakness, and if he is hit by this blow, Li Yi will definitely be repelled or even injured.

In the face of this opponent's attack, Li Yi did not panic at all, he did not dodge at all.

I saw him raise his foot violently and bend towards the other party's leg.

Li Yi's kick was so powerful that one of his legs immediately knelt down, and his elbow was empty.

Li Yi didn't stop, he immediately raised his leg again and pushed his calf towards the opponent's back.

Before the man could react, he was put on the ground by Li Yi's legs.

Li Yi leaned forward and pressed his weight all on the man's back.

The man still wanted to continue to resist, how could Li Yi give him a chance, Li Yi immediately turned his palm into a knife and slashed at the back of the man's neck.

was hit by Li Yi's knife, and the dark whistle instantly rolled his eyes and fainted.

A series of actions were like flowing water, and the dark whistle was completely taken down by Li Yi.

After putting down this guy, Li Yi didn't leave immediately, he just pulled out a rope from his waist and tied the man to the tree with his backhand.

Immediately, Li Yi came to the trunk of the tree that had been marked and took a closer look.

After he understood the mark on the tree, Li Yi's face showed an evil smile again.

Then he turned around and ran towards several other places where the branches were dangling.

Originally, he had planned to go back and interrogate him if he caught a dead mouth, but when he saw the mark on the tree, he had another plan.

The Yang caravan came to a halt after running for about four or five miles.

At this time, they had been waiting here for almost half an hour, but they still didn't see Li Yi's figure.

This made everyone start to worry, after all, they had just agreed to wait here for Li Yi to come back.

According to Li Yi's skills, it shouldn't take much time to catch a live mouth, but he hasn't come back yet.

"Did that kid miss and is now under siege by bandits?"

Qi Ning speculated worriedly.

"It shouldn't be possible, according to Brother Li's martial arts, ordinary people are not his opponents."

Yang Ping shook his head and said that there was no such possibility.

"How can you be so sure, as the saying goes, people make mistakes, horses and hoofs, who can guarantee that there will always be no mistakes!"

Although Qi Chao had seen Li Yi's fingers snap into the wooden door frame, he was still not convinced in his heart.

"Impossible, Li Shaoxia is not fighting the other party head-on, he will definitely attack when he goes to arrest people, and it is impossible for him to miss with his skills."

Zhu Gengshi, the strongest man in the Yang family's caravan, said categorically.
