"That's a good point! Go on, how should we plan?" Lu San didn't expect Xiao Yunhe to really say this opinion, looked at Xiao Yunhe approvingly, and encouraged him to continue.

"Planning......" Xiao Yunhe muttered.

Before Xiao Yunhe could organize his words, someone suddenly ran over in a hurry.

The man ran to Lu Sang's side out of breath and said excitedly, "Brother Lu!

"Where is the fire?" said Lusan to his feet.

"That's it...... I'm running out...... Not far away, I saw a fire in front of me! I hurried back to report back to Brother Lu!" The soldier's breath was not even out yet.

"How far is it, and where exactly?" Lusan asked, grabbing his arm.

"It's just ahead......! It should be less than three miles!" replied the soldier, gasping for breath.

"Take me to see it!" Lusan grabbed him by the arm and walked forward.

After taking two steps out, Lusan turned his head again.

"Yunhe, get on your horse and come with us!"

Xiao Yunhe nodded, he also wanted to see what was going on with this sudden firelight.

A group of three people, three horses, galloped forward in the darkness.

"See who it is, how many are there?" asked Lusan in a low voice.

"I didn't ...... I didn't see ......" the soldier replied with some guilt, "I ...... As soon as I spotted the fire, I ran back and reported it...... It's too dark...... It seems to be someone ......."

"Nonsense! If there is a fire, of course there will be people! In addition to people, can the wild wolves in this desert also make fires? Have you thrown all the training you have received in the past few years to the barbarians?" said Lu San angrily.

The soldier bowed his head in shame.

Xiao Yunhe interjected at this time: "Brother Lu, don't worry about Thailand. Being able to detect the situation in advance, we have an advantage. It's so dark, and after running for so long without rest, this big brother has done his best!"

"I don't want to hold me accountable, it's just that every step we take now can lurk unimaginable dangers. If those people in front of us are a large group of barbarians, then we will be in a trap!" said Lussan.

"This big brother, when you found them, were they discovered?, did they come and chase you?" Xiao Yunhe asked as he turned to the soldier.

"No! I ran back at the sight of the fire, and they didn't notice me at all!" the soldier shook his head.

"Are you sure?" asked Lusan with a frown.

"I'm sure!" said the soldier, firmly, "I happened to run to a small sand dune, and I saw the fire in front of me through the dune, and they certainly didn't see me!

"That's fine...... Wish...... Our luck...... Don't be that bad......" Lusan sighed with a slight stretch of his brow.

After that, no one spoke, and after a while, the soldier in front of him whispered to stop.

"Arrived?" asked Lussan.

"Well, climb up this dune and we'll be able to see the fires! We'd better keep our horses on a leash, or we'll run up like this, and they'll be terrible if they find out!" the soldier whispered.

"I haven't forgotten it yet!" Lusan snorted, dismounted, and followed the soldier up the small sand dunes in front of him.

The three of them climbed up in a row, but fortunately, the volume of this small sand dune was not large, and the height was only seven or eight meters, and they crawled on the ground all the way up, and soon climbed to the top of the dune.

The soldier stopped, stretched out his finger and pointed ahead: "Look! there it is!"

In fact, without his fingering, Xiao Yunhe and Lu Sang also saw those shining fires.

At this time, the night has completely covered the earth, and there is still no shadow of the moon in the sky, and in a dark environment, no other light can be seen, and the shining light of the bonfires in front of it is particularly conspicuous.

"One, two, three......" Lusan counted the number of bonfires one by one, and the more he counted, the more ugly the expression on his face became.

"It's hundreds, isn't it? How can there be so many?" said Lusan in a low voice as he stopped before he could finish counting.

"Are these people barbarians?" From a distance, Xiao Yunhe could only see some vague black shadows, those should be the shadows of people, but he couldn't see the appearance of those people.

"It's too dark to see clearly!" Lusan shook his head, although he was very familiar with the barbarians, but he was not sure that it was still night from such a distance.

"Brother Lu, let me touch it and take a look!" the soldier volunteered.

"Okay, be careful, stay safe!" Lusan said with a glance and a nod.

"Brother Lu, I'll go too!" Xiao Yunhe also wanted to go up to the front to take a look.

"You don't have to go, Huzi alone is enough!" Lu San shook his head and vetoed Xiao Yunhe's suggestion, watching the soldier disappear silently into the darkness.

Xiao Yunhe sighed, lay on the sand dunes, and looked at the jumping fires in front of him with some unwillingness.

"Yunhe, it's not that I dampen your enthusiasm, but I have to. You're strong, but you're not trained by us. When it comes to stealing and listening to enemy intelligence, you are not as good as an ordinary soldier!" Lu San explained to Xiao Yunhe in a low voice.

Xiao Yunhe nodded: "I understand!"

"Brother Lu, where did you say these people came from? Will those barbarians give us false information?"

Xiao Yunhe had doubts about the authenticity of the barbarians' intelligence, they didn't say that there were still such forces of unknown origin here, if they hadn't just stopped here, and the soldier happened to find out, they would probably have collided directly.

And if it really happens, then I don't know what the ending will be.

"Probably not, at that time, they have no way to lie! What's more, it's just an eight- or nine-year-old child! Although the barbarian is fierce, it is impossible for an underage child to have such deep scheming. Lusan shook his head.

Xiao Yunhe let out an "um" and looked forward at the firelight.

"Yunhe, are you still feeling uncomfortable?" the soldier hadn't returned yet, and there were only two people left, Lusan asked in a low voice.

"It's a little bit more, but it's much better!" Xiao Yunhe didn't want Lu San to worry about himself, so he pretended to be relaxed.

"Killing a vicious barbarian is not the same as killing an unarmed barbarian woman or child. I can see that you are a very kind person. It is easy for you to kill women and children with your own hands and do such a heinous thing in your opinion, but it is not easy to make your heart pass. Lusan sighed.

"Brother Lu, I'm fine! After a while, I'll be able to figure it out!" Xiao Yunhe said.

"You too...... It's just a child......" Lu San suddenly asked, "Yunhe, how old are you this year?"

"After this winter, it's sixteen!" Xiao Yunhe replied.

As soon as he talked about time, Xiao Yunhe's mood fell.

Sixteen, so soon, it's been a year.

In this year, he gained a lot, but he also lost a lot more.

Getting to know Xu Chengfang, meeting Ye Huanyan, friendship, love, and emotions that Xiao Yunhe had never experienced all befell him at the same time.

It was an emotion he had never experienced, and the time spent with those two people was the warmest day for Xiao Yunhe.

The happiness was short-lived, and more than that, it was a succession of blows.

The master, who has been dependent on each other for more than ten years, is gone, and I don't know when I will see each other again.

Xu Chengfang, the only friend he just met, died in front of Xiao Yunhe's eyes.

After enduring humiliation for more than ten years, growing up in humiliation and pain, except for his master, no one has ever really cared about Xiao Yunhe.

And Master is always Master, and there is an age gap with Xiao Yunhe, so he is not a friend of the same age.

Only Xu Chengfang made Xu Yunhe understand what a friend is.

But this only friend only got along with Xu Yunhe for less than half a month before he died in front of Xiao Yunhe.

At that moment, Xiao Yunhe hugged him, but he couldn't make any effort to save the life of his only friend.

A strong sense of helplessness and powerlessness had never pierced his heart so strongly as at that moment.

Ye Huanyan, she is like an elf given to Xiao Yunhe by God, she suddenly crashed into Xiao Yunhe's heart, plucked the heartstrings that had never been touched in Xiao Yunhe's heart, and what she brought to Xiao Yunhe was a kind of sour and astringent but containing all kinds of sweet complex emotions.

Xiao Yunhe has never tried it, his heart is full of people, watching her sit in front of him, smiling, happy and hateful, all of which affect his mood, and then rise and fall, happy or sad.

But Ye Huanyan still left. What is left for Xiao Yunhe is only the indelible shadow in the depths of his soul, as well as the bitter lovesickness.

A year has passed, the Xu family is no longer the Xu family, and Xu Yunhe has also become Xiao Yunhe.

Touched by Lu San's words, Xiao Yunhe recalled at this time, but found that unconsciously, he had experienced so much.

If I'm still alive now, it can be regarded as God taking me to take me thin, right?

Xiao Yunhe was about to smile, when a hand next to him slapped him on the shoulder.

"Yunhe, what are you thinking?" was Lusang's voice.

"Oh, I didn't think about anything! nothing!" Xiao Yunhe smiled disguisedly, but forgot that it was so dark, whether he was laughing or crying, Lu San on the other side couldn't see it.

"Brother Lu!" the soldier suddenly appeared from behind and shouted in a low voice.

"How's it going, has anyone found out?" asked Lussan.

"No, a qiēshun lì!" replied the soldier, creeping little by little between the two men.

"How's that? what do you see?" asked Lussan.

"They're barbarians!" the soldier said in a deep voice.

"Sure enough, barbarians! what are they, and how many are there?" asked Lusan again.

"I looked outside, and all of them were young and middle-aged, and I couldn't see a single woman or child! And they were all fully armed, and there were guard posts outside, and they were very heavily guarded! As for the number of people, ......" the soldier hesitated for a moment before he replied uncertainly, "There is no way to count the number of people, but their military tents are densely distributed, and they need to be tens of thousands!"

"So many people...... There are no women or children yet...... These people ...... It must be the elite of the barbarians......" Lusan said slowly.

"Are these people the goal of our trip?" Xiao Yunhe interjected.

"But this is not the right place! they shouldn't be here!" Lusan shook his head, unable to make a decision.

"This is not difficult to explain! The news that the barbarian kid heard was several days ago! The barbarian khans did not gather so many troops for a party! After so many days, they must have moved their positions too! We have all gone deep into here, and it is not surprising that they have so much more time than us to appear here!" Xiao Yunhe said his own inference.

"Looks like ...... This is the only explanation......" Lusang also accepted Xiao Yunhe's inference.

"But what are these barbarians doing when they have gathered so many troops?" Lusan wondered.

"What are we doing, they, it should be like this!" Xiao Yunhe said slowly.

"How is this possible? Doesn't that mean that we have a ...... within the Left Guard," said Lusan incredulously.

Xiao Yunhe didn't answer and remained silent.

Lusan stopped halfway through his speech, and did not say the last half of the sentence.

"Brother Lu, what should we do now?" The soldier didn't understand what Xiao Yunhe and Lu Sang meant, and when he saw that the two of them were silent at the same time, he asked.

"Our mission has been accomplished, and the rest is no longer within our purview! Now, we must go back at once and report the situation here to the general! We will not take care of the rest!" Lusan raised his head and climbed down the dune.

Xiao Yunhe and the soldier followed, and the three of them crept forward to lead the horses slowly, more cautiously than when they came.

After walking out for a distance, the three of Lusan got on the horse and rode it.

The road was much duller, Xiao Yunhe and Lu Sang became dumb, the soldier was already ashamed of his dereliction of duty, and at this time the other two people were out of flames, and he could only be a stuffy gourd.

Running wildly, he returned to the place where the team had stopped.

"Teng" jumped off the horse, and Lusan quickly gave the order.

"Let all the soldiers who patrol come back to me! everyone pack up and get ready to go!"

"Brother Lu, are you not resting? are you going to travel at night?" a soldier asked.

"Well, hurry up, clean up, wipe all traces off me, keep your hands and feet neat!" said Lusan in a deep voice.

"Brother Lu, what's going on, why are you in such a hurry?" someone saw that something was wrong with Lu Sang's expression and asked in a low voice.

"We have already found a large number of barbarians in sight, our mission has been completed, and now we must return to the barracks to report back to the army!" Lusan explained succinctly.

This sentence was explained clearly, and all the soldiers stopped asking and began to pack up.

There was nothing to clean up, so he skillfully put away the blankets and dry food that were ready to be rolled out, and the soldiers who were patrolling around the periphery were also called back, and in a short time, everyone was packed up.

After counting the number of people, Lu San got on his horse and waved his hand: "Let's go!"

A group of more than 20 people set off in the night.

The desert at night is different from the blazing heat of the day, the night wind is cold, blowing on the people's bodies, the cold is pressing, although the soldiers are strong, but there is still a little chill.

After a day's journey, and before they could rest, they were now marching again, and although not a single soldier complained, the speed of the troops' march was still much reduced.

Only Lusan was at the front of the line, his face sinking like water, his eyes always looking at the pitch-black night sky in front of him.

After running for a while, Lussan, who was running the fastest, suddenly stopped.

The pause was a bit sudden, but the soldiers who had carried out the mission with Lusan didn't know how many times had already developed a tacit understanding that was almost instinctive.

There was no order, but the two dozen or so soldiers behind did not panic at all, and almost at the same time, these people also stopped.

Xiao Yunhe didn't have this ability, sandwiched in the middle of the team, this emergency stop was a little slower, if it weren't for the fact that the war horse under the crotch had more combat experience than its owner, this person and horse would have crashed into the front.

"Stop!" Lussan's order sounded in a low voice.

"Brother Lu, what's wrong?" someone asked.

"There's a fire ahead!" Lusan said, looking ahead.

The soldiers behind him all crowded up, lined up, and stood in a row with Lusan on horseback, craned their necks and looked ahead.

Xiao Yunhe was also among them, his eyesight was even sharper, and almost as soon as he showed his head, he saw the fire that Lu San was talking about.

In front, I don't know how far away, there are small yellow dots scattered in the shadows.

Soldiers who have lived in the barracks for many years know very well what those little yellow dots represent.

It was a bonfire, and looking at them, I didn't know how many there were dozens or hundreds. And in this desert, there is a campfire, which means that someone is there.

There are people, and a lot of people.

At this time, there are so many people in this place, even if you can't see the specific situation there at all, you can guess what it is.

"We just came from over there, and there's nothing! Why are there so many more people in this moment...... one soldier wondered.

"Don't stay here!Shift!Go around in another direction!" Lusan commanded, turning his horse's head, and taking the lead again, galloping in the other direction.

The soldiers behind him did not dare to slack off, and immediately followed closely behind Lusan and plunged into this deep night, swallowed by the boundless darkness.
