Chapter Thirty-Eight: Breaking into the Enemy Camp at Night
After Du Jian counted the firearms, he asked curiously: "Boss, I haven't seen Ma Mu carry these things into the cave before." And these firearms are quite familiar, what poisonous smoke bombs, blood spiders, starry sky, rolling mines, this should not be ......"
"That's right, it's the other day that you confiscated the prohibited goods smuggled by the Hu merchant at the east gate."
"Huh? Really? Aren't all those contraband destroyed according to the law? ”
Li Jiangyao smiled: "Idiot, what was burned was just a wooden box." Wouldn't it be a pity to destroy such a valuable good thing in vain? Don't look at the number of it, but it's very easy to use to ambush and sneak up or something! ”
Du Jian stared in disbelief, and couldn't help but think in his heart: Obediently, the captain's hands are really black, in addition to these firearms, maybe the other confiscated items have also been secretly resold by him, right?
Li Jiangyao didn't pay attention to Lao Du anymore, beckoned his subordinates to gather around him, and told everyone about the next action plan.
After listening to his thoughts, Du Jian said in a deep voice: "Boss, I don't have any opinions on anything else. But if you're going to go back to Metasequoia alone, I'm very, very, absolutely disagree! ”
Li Jiangyao smiled coldly: "Nonsense, I won't go back, will you go back?" Can Lin Feng listen to your command? ”
Du Jian blinked his eyes, thinking about it, so he said, "Then at least bring a few brothers, right?" The chances of breaking through the enemy's lines are also higher. ”
"Tall fart! I'm acting neatly by myself, and I have to look ahead and backward with people. Li Jiangyao said solemnly: "Lao Du, according to my plan, the part outside the city is very important, and one more brother here will give you a better chance of success." You don't have to worry about me, concentrate on completing the task, understand? ”
Du Jian's expression became serious, and he responded seriously: "Don't worry, my lord, I understand!" ”
Li Jiangyao bowed slightly, and immediately shouted at everyone: "Brothers, cheer up!" Let those bunnies know that our Pegasus scouts are awesome! ”
-
After nightfall, the wind and snow became heavier.
From time to time, the cold wind rolled up the snow on the top of the tent, and the snow particles scraped on people's faces, making them feel painful. The sentinels of the Ghost Alliance horse bandits, who were still in the mood to stand guard and patrol at this time, slipped into the tents next to the camp gate to keep warm.
The curtain of the tent door was completely lifted, and the light of the bonfire shone out, shaking the camp gate a little slightly, which could be regarded as a sentry.
The camp of the Ghost League was located just outside the north gate of Metasequoia, and they were on high alert for the defenders of the city, and they didn't care much about facing the direction outside. Today, a fierce battle had exhausted everyone, so seven or eight horse bandits gathered in tents, and although they did not dare to drink to warm up, it was better to gamble a few handfuls when they were bored, so as to pass the time of the vigil.
Li Jiangyao quietly sneaked to the outside of the camp gate, and looked carefully through the thick wooden fence, only to see that the horse bandits in the tent opposite were guessing and betting on the money, and they were having fun.
He grabbed the gap in the fence with his hands and feet, and with a slight force on his arms, his feet immediately rose into the air, and he swooped up more than two feet high, and his whole body just exceeded the top of the barracks. He stretched out his right hand in the air, grabbed the stake above the wooden fence, and moved his body forward slightly, so that he could easily cross the fence of the camp.
Immediately afterwards, Li Jiangyao flipped in mid-air, and then landed firmly on the ground without making a sound.
As soon as his feet touched the ground, he shot directly out of the ground like an arrow off the string, and his body was so fast that he couldn't see clearly.
Li Jiangyao discerned the direction, passed through two groups of tents one after another, and entered the core area of the horse bandit camp.
When you get here, you can start to see bandits on patrol. Li Jiangyao didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly squatted down, temporarily leaning close to a tent, allowing himself to hide in the shadow of the tent as much as possible.
The heavy snow was still falling one after another, seriously interfering with the sight of the sentry posts and patrolling bandits, and at the same time creating favorable conditions for Li Jiangyao.
He secretly estimated that as long as he could successfully cross this slightly open area, and then walk five or six hundred paces forward, he would be able to reach the other side of the thief camp. When the time comes, you can climb out of the fence as it is, and you can go to the north gate of Metasequoia.
Now the vigilance of the entire Ghost League horse bandit camp is very relaxed, and with his skills, he can completely break into the camp without knowing it.
When the team of patrols just now slowly walked away, Li Jiangyao urged his inner breath again and was about to get up and act, but at this time, he suddenly heard the sound of talking from the tent behind him.
Li Jiangyao couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then stabilized his body again and squatted down again. He held his breath and paid close attention, it turned out that there was a person who had just entered the tent next to him, and was calling softly: "Uncle Anlu, uncle, have you slept?" ”
"Which one?" The guy named Anlu replied in a rough voice, "Is it Godotshan?" Bastard! Lao Tzu asked you to find a girl at dinner, and now that the wine is finished, I still don't see your ghost, where did you die? ”
"Uncle Anlu, don't blame, the woman has found it for you." Godotsan flattered, "Guess what? The chick was very good-looking, and she had been taken by Zikejiang from a nearby village. Zikejiang originally planned to give her to the alliance leader to enjoy, but he didn't expect that the alliance leader was discussing important matters with General Duolun, and he was not in the mood at all, so he directly blasted him out. That old thing didn't make a sycophant, so he thought that he that girl. When I found him, Zikejiang even took off his pants, and without saying a word, I went up and kicked his ass......"
"Don't be so long-winded! What about women? "The leader of the bandits named Anlu looked extremely impatient.
"Yes, yes, little verbose. Right now, people were waiting outside, and I immediately brought her in. ”
As he spoke, he heard a push and drag sound coming from the tent, followed by the sound of a woman crying.
Godoshan smiled and said: "Uncle Anlu, you have to be careful, this chick is very fierce, Zikejiang's hand was almost bitten by her......"
"Get out of here! Do you think Lao Tzu can't even cure a little girl?! ”
Godotsan laughed strangely, and hurriedly led his men to leave quickly, and at this time only Anlu and the girl were left in the tent. I only heard An Lu sneer: "I advise you to get acquainted with each other obediently, and if you are comfortable serving my uncle, I will leave you with a cheap life." Otherwise, Lao Tzu will call all his brothers over and take turns to get you, understand? ”
Li Jiangyao, who was hiding outside the tent, heard this, and couldn't help but sigh secretly: Even if he doesn't want to make extraneous things this time, it seems that he can't do it.
Anlu, if you want to blame it, you can only blame yourself for your bad luck!
Li Jiangyao quietly paid attention to the surrounding situation and made sure that there was no one around, so he turned around and pulled out the Xingluo knife behind him, and without even half a minute of hesitation, he directly slashed the tent with a knife brush.
The horse bandit An Lu, who was trying to commit misdeeds in the tent, was also a strong martial artist, and the abnormal change was prominent, and he immediately sensed that something was wrong.
But firstly, he drank wine, and secondly, his mind was all on the girl just now, so his reaction was much slower than usual.
And more importantly, Li Jiangyao's movements are too fast.
At the same time as the tent suddenly burst, he had already rushed in like lightning, and a violent cloud of wind and snow swirled violently, straight towards the unsuspecting Anlu.
Prancing Horse Milky Way, meteors flying.
The strength of the Starfall Knife was instantly raised to its peak state by Li Jiangyao, and the explosive power suddenly pressed An Lu to the point where he couldn't even breathe.
At this time, Anlu finally realized that his life was in danger.
What is the next step to dodge? Or do you want to resist first? Or do you call for help first if you don't care about anything?
At the time when he shouldn't be entangled the most, Anlu actually struggled with a problem that shouldn't be entangled the least.
There was only one reason, the mysterious raider was unimaginably fast, so much so that Anru felt that whatever he chose was wrong.
And in the next moment, An Lu, who was stunned in place, didn't have to worry anymore, because his head had left his body.
An Lu's stout headless body fell to the ground with a bang, but Li Jiangyao didn't look at it, flashed directly in front of the girl, covered her mouth, and said in a low voice: "Don't shout, I'm here to save you." ”
The girl was about to exclaim, but when Li Jiangyao said this, she suddenly looked at him with a frightened face. After a few moments, she finally reacted from her fear and nodded silently.
Li Jiangyao secretly breathed a sigh of relief and listened carefully to the movement outside. Fortunately, he acted quickly just now, and he only used one move to kill Anlu, and did not alarm the patrols outside.
He slowly inserted the Starfall knife back behind his back, picked up the girl who was already paralyzed with fright, and asked in a low voice, "Can you still walk by yourself?" We must get out of here now, we'll be in trouble if it's too late. ”
The girl covered her chest with her hands, subconsciously glanced at the dead body next to her, and almost vomited directly. She couldn't help frowning, desperately suppressed the disgusting feeling, and then nodded towards Li Jiangyao.
Seeing that the girl was still strong, Li Jiangyao was slightly relieved, he picked up a cloak from the couch next to him, told her to wrap it tightly to keep out the cold, and then turned around to lead the way in front and took the girl out of the breach in the tent.
As soon as the two of them arrived outside, they immediately bowed their heads, and under the cover of the violent storm and snow, they cautiously avoided several patrols and sentries in succession, and all the way to the camp fence near the side of Metasequoia City.
-
"Brother Lin, there seems to be a situation in the north, please go and take a look."
The sentry standing guard at the head of the city came to report to Lin Feng, saying that after nightfall, in the direction of the stone hill outside the north gate, there was suddenly a light of torches looming. Neither of them could see it very well because it was a little far away, but intuitively, the light seemed to be the signal fire characteristic of the Pegasus Scout Camp.
When Lin Feng heard this, he immediately thought of Li Jiangyao, and hurriedly ran to the city tower at the north gate with Ma Mu, and looked out.
However, after a long time, they could all see any light.
Ma Mu was disappointed, and was about to reprimand his subordinates, but Lin Feng suddenly grabbed him: "Look over there!" ”
Following the direction of Lin Feng's finger, Ma Mu squinted his eyes and observed, and finally saw a faint firelight, which was flickering and extinguishing.
I only heard Lin Feng shouting excitedly: "It's the adult, it's the adult, they're back!" ”
Ma Mu was also excited by what he said: "Really? What does the fire represent? I almost didn't see it! ”
Lin Feng ignored him, and first ordered the soldiers to extinguish all the torches around him, so as not to affect his vision. Then he propped his hands on the battlement, stared at it carefully, and after a long time said, "It's indeed the captain!" The meaning of the fire trumpet just now is that the adults are preparing to return to the city from this direction. Come! ”
The soldiers standing around knew that it was Li Jiangyao who had returned, and they immediately cheered up and shouted loudly when they heard the words. Lin Feng ordered a few orders in a row, telling everyone to get ready quickly, while he and Ma Mu stayed at the head of the city and continued to pay attention to the direction of the stone hill.
-
At this time, Li Jiangyao was hiding less than a thousand steps away from Lin Feng and them, and was tying the girl to his back with ropes.
The fence of the horse bandit camp was more than two feet high, and the girl alone would never have been able to climb it. There was no way, he could only come up with this way, fix the two together, and carry each other over the wall.
After being trapped, Li Jiangyao jumped a few times on the spot with the girl on his back, but fortunately the girl's body was very light, so it did not hinder her movement. It's just that the soft delicate body is tightly clinging to his back, and Li Jiangyao can't help but feel a ripple in his heart.
The girl seemed to be aware of the intimate contact between the two, and hurriedly buried her head behind Li Jiangyao's back shyly, completely forgetting that she was in danger at this time.
Fortunately, Li Jiangyao was still sober, as long as he was a little careless at this time, he might not be able to leave here alive, so he didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly raised his hand to grab the wooden fence and prepared to jump up.
