It's an arrow.

Chen Anning quickly looked around.

The trees are dense, and the light is not good. Now the sunset has dissipated, and the sky has become darker, and the forest is even darker.

From the faintly swaying branches and leaves, I could barely see many bandits in ambush.

But it's hard to know exactly how many.

After Chen Anning took the guards to slowly retreat more than ten steps, he took a step shake from his hair, removed all the jade beads on the step shake, and shot them at several dwarf trees in the col one by one.

Whoosh!

As the dwarf trees swayed, countless sharp arrows shot out from all directions.

Almost instantly, the col was shot into a hedgehog by sharp arrows.

It's a pocket array.

The position they are standing in now is the mouth of the bag.

The rest of the directions were surrounded by bandits.

As long as they dare to step inside, they will end up like the previous Dark Guard.

They used the children's corpses as bait to lure them here.

Apparently, the bandits are familiar with the terrain here.

Judging by the number of those sharp arrows and the speed at which they were fired, there were quite a few of them.

And there were only twenty-one of them.

It is obviously not wise to act rashly.

But going back like this, Chen Anning was somewhat unwilling.

After thinking about it, Chen Anning decided to act alone.

Although the poison could not be used on a large scale in such a dense forest, it was not difficult to help her get out.

It's just that.

Before she could say her thoughts, she was opposed by all the secret guards.

They followed her for one purpose: to protect her safety.

Leaving her alone is tantamount to saying that they are useless.

This is more unacceptable than telling them to die.

Chen Anning persuaded for a moment with kind words, but the secret guard still refused to agree. In the end, there was no way, Chen Anning had to take a step back and said: "That's good, in addition to me, there are twenty of you." Ten people followed me, and ten people went down the mountain to answer. ”

Seeing that they still wanted to object, Chen Anning said simply: "Fifth Prince Xu and Miss Wen Si are going to be brought soon, Fifth Prince Xu doesn't know martial arts, and when the time comes, you will inevitably leave more people to protect him." Instead of being tied down, it's better to be more simply. ”

Xu Zan doesn't know martial arts, and the secret guard knows it.

Although I don't agree with her words, I also know that she has a point.

"Okay." The leader of the dark guard is also a simple person, seeing that she has made up her mind, it is impossible to retreat for a while, and when Xu Zan comes, then they will be in a passive state, no matter who it is, it will not be good for anyone, so he simply stroked his hand and said, "You immediately go down the mountain to protect Xu Wugongzi, you and I will act with Miss Chen Er!" ”

The ten people who were crossed by him to protect Xu Zan immediately turned around and went down the mountain.

The ten people who stayed looked at Chen Anning, waiting for her orders.

Chen Anning didn't understand tactics, and he didn't want to command blindly, so he humbly asked the leader of the dark guard: "What is the situation here, you should also know, you can arrange it, I will listen to your command." ”

The leader of the dark guard did not shirk either, and analyzed the situation and said, "Judging from the situation you tried just now, there are at least fifty bandits in ambush. Judging from the situation in the village just now, there are at least 200 bandits in this gang. They were familiar with the terrain, and it was getting darker. With a few of us, it's hard to take them down. The best way now is not to destroy them, but to catch one or two live mouths and probe their reality. ”

Chen Anning nodded: "Yes." ”

The leader of the Dark Guard pointed to the seven with his hand and said, "You guys go this way and attract their attention. ”

Another person was pointed out: "You go down the mountain and tell Xu Wugongzi about our actions." Then leave the five brothers to prepare their horses to meet us at the foot of the mountain, and the rest of them immediately escort Xu Wugongzi away. ”

looked at the rest of the people again: "Follow me with Miss Chen Er to catch the mouth alive!" ”

"Act now!"

The seven guards who attracted the bandits' attention and the guards who went down the mountain to deliver the news left instantly.

Probably half a cup of tea.

The sound of messy footsteps rang out around the col, and then faded away in the direction the seven guards had left.

The leader of the dark guard flew up to the treetops, and after observing the hazy moonlight for a while, he went down the tree and said, "Go!" ”

The words fell, and he rushed out first.

Chen Anning followed.

The other Dark Guard was at the end.

Led by the leader of the Dark Guard, the three of them quickly shuttled through the woods, silently approaching the bandits who were chasing the Dark Guard in front.

Soon.

The three of them caught up with the bandits who had fallen behind.

After observing the situation for a while.

The leader of the dark guard decisively approached one of them, and then took advantage of the fact that no one else noticed, after slashing the person with a knife, he quickly handed it over to the broken dark guard, and then quickly approached a bandit, and after using the same method to solve the person, he whispered to Chen Anning: "Withdraw!" ”

"You go first, I'll break last." Afraid that they would not be obedient, Chen Anning said, "I have poison." ”

The leader of the dark guard did not argue, and after whispering hello, he and the dark guard quickly ran down the mountain.

Chen Anning followed closely behind the two.

Soon, the three of them went down the mountain.

After handing over the two bandits to the answering guards, and letting Chen Anning and the answering guards go first, the leader of the guards took out a signal flare from his waist, lit it and threw it towards the sky.

The flare exploded.

Brilliant fireworks light up the sky.

After Chen Anning glanced back, she grabbed the reins of the horse, took out a porcelain bottle from her waist and threw it to the secret guard who stopped with her, "Feed one grain to each of the two bandits." You go first, and I will follow your head to meet those who are behind. Rest assured, I am poisoned and do not need your protection. ”

A trace of warmth flowed through the heart of the dark guard holding the porcelain vase, and after whispering a word of caution, the fast horse chased after the dark guard in front of him.

When the leader of the Dark Guard saw her return, he nodded slightly, and then set his eyes on the mountain.

About two cups of tea.

The shadows of the trees swayed.

The vocals are scrambled.

Five figures rushed out in embarrassment.

"Get on the horse!" Go to seven, come back five, and the result was much better than the Dark Guard Leader had expected. Lead the horse and quickly step forward. After throwing the horse rope at them, the leader of the Dark Guard met the bandits who rushed out after him.

The five guards mounted their horses and, without the slightest hesitation, quickly left.

And after Chen Anning watched them go far enough, he shouted towards the leader of the dark guard: "Withdraw!" ”

The leader of the dark guard had secretly followed her and Xie Xun on many missions, and knew that her ability was not small, and when he heard her voice, he immediately evacuated.

At the moment when he retreated, Chen Anning flew up, swept two handfuls of poison at the bandits who caught up, and then quickly returned to his horse, following the leader of the dark guard.

The wind is not strong, and it is not downwind.

Fortunately, the bandits were concentrated enough, and the poison was strong enough, so they succeeded in poisoning almost half of the bandits.

The remaining bandits were amazed by her methods, but they did not hesitate to chase after her and the leader of the Dark Guard.

The moonlight is hazy.

The mountain road is winding.

Because of unfamiliarity with the terrain.

The bandits soon caught up with the two.
