Chapter 13: Task Force
After Pei Changqing received the order, he went back to the camp to prepare, first of all, he needed to bring a large enough backpack, the amount of these two herbs was not very large, but in order to collect enough at one time, a large backpack was inevitable, and the forbidden land was not so easy to enter, although Pei Changqing had entered once and came out alive, but because he had entered it once, he knew how dangerous it was, so emergency supplies were essential.
Just when Pei Changqing walked out of the military tent, he found that Wang Lun was already standing at the door of the tent in full clothes, and he asked very puzzled: "Wang Lun, what are you doing here?" ”
Wang Lun took half a step forward and replied loudly: "Report to the chief, your adjutant Wang Lun is ready for battle and can set off on a mission at any time!" ”
"Huh? You don't have a task, you're still in the rest stage these days, and I haven't assigned you a task! ”
"Report sir! Take me with you on your mission! ”
"This can't be done, this is a task directly assigned to me by the Third Corps, and I am the only one to carry it out, and I haven't heard that I will bring an adjutant."
Just when they were talking, Pei Yuqing came over and said to Pei Changqing: "This is what I asked Wang Lun to go with you, this time I went to the forbidden land is dangerous and unknown, I asked Wang Lun to go with you, the first two people go out to take care of each other, and the second one more person can also bring out some more herbs, which can arm our legion, and the third, it is the last time you two carried out a reconnaissance mission, you came back and said to me that this Wang Lun is a good seedling, and he has a hand in arranging traps, I will let him go with you Once he encounters danger, he can also make an emergency." ”
Pei Changqing nodded, "Okay, in that case, Wang Lun, have you brought all your equipment or anything?" ”
"Report sir! I was ready before you came here, with enough of the items I needed this time, and two more marching water bottles. ”
"Okay!" Pei Changqing said to Pei Yuqing, "Then let's go!" ”
"Waiting for news of your victory." After Pei Yuqing finished speaking, he turned around and left.
When Pei Yuqing walked away, Pei Changqing said to Wang Lun: "I said you kid, did you know in advance that I was going to carry out the mission, so you asked Captain Pei to go with me?" ”
"Report to the captain, the truth is exactly what you say!"
"Alright, stop talking nonsense, let's go!"
After speaking, Pei Changqing took Wang Lun and entered the Hengguan Mountain Range. As soon as the two of them entered the traverse mountain range, they felt that something was wrong, but they couldn't tell what was wrong, so after taking a look at each other, they went deeper into the interior more carefully, and there were a lot of beasts on the way, Wang Lun and they had broth to eat every time they had a meal, which was better than eating marching food.
On the third day when they entered the Transverse Mountains, a group of uninvited guests arrived at Pei Yuqing's camp, this group of uninvited guests was none other than the task force of the Chaoyang Corps, Pei Yuqing received information as early as a day ago, the third corps came with news that a task force would arrive at Pei Yuqing's camp, just to replenish, this task force was composed of capable people recruited by the city lord of Dawn City in the city, a total of eight people, each of whom had something special, the goal was to go deep into the forbidden land to find herbs, Commander Zhao of the Third Corps told the General Staff about Pei Changqing, but the General Staff still didn't think that a scout could complete this arduous task, so he sent such a task force. The staff meant to let Pei Changqing join the task force as the leader, but Commander Zhao had already sent Pei Changqing out, so the staff asked this task force to enter the mountain as soon as Pei Yuqing was replenished.
Pei Yuqing led people to welcome this task force outside the camp gate, and the captain of this task force was called Huo Ben, a bounty hunter who had developed the ability to track. And he also joined the task force and beat all the team members to surrender to his feet, so he was chosen as the captain. This Huo Ben didn't have a good face after seeing Pei Yuqing, but just said coldly: "Captain Pei, I heard that some of you have already entered the Transverse Mountain Range to look for herbs?" Can you find it? Your Third Corps has already sent three teams before and after, I think you better not delay your efforts, no, our task force is here, and the matter of herbal medicine will be handed over to us. After speaking, he walked to the camp with his head up, and when he walked to Pei Yuqing's side, he whispered again, "By the way, I will also bring their corpses!" With that, he went into the camp.
After Pei Yuqing heard him say this, his fists clenched tightly, his shoulders trembled uncontrollably, and he had reached the limit of anger! But soon he let go of his fist again. He motioned for the quartermaster next to him to take the gang to resupply. These people were not polite when they came here, they basically swept the quartermaster department, and basically took away all the good things. Before leaving, Huo Ben glanced at Pei Yuqing arrogantly, and without even saying a word, he led the task force into the mountain!
When they all left, the adjutant next to him whispered to Pei Yuqing: "Captain, it's all done." ”
Pei Yu Qingyin fiercely looked at the direction in which they disappeared, and clenched his fists at one point.
Wang Lun and the two of them didn't know that there was such a task force also entering the mountain, but their speed was not slow, and after another 2 days, they had reached the edge of the forbidden land.
"Wang Lun, further forward is the forbidden land, the risk inside is unknown, now check the weapons and equipment, okay, let's go in after eating this broth, after entering, I estimate that the opportunity to eat broth will be gone, see the opportunity to act, we have brought enough marching food, I am responsible for guarding, you are responsible for searching, our target plant is clearly remembered?"
"Don't worry, Captain, remember clearly, let's go!"
Wang Lun probably eliminated the traces, checked their equipment and set off, on the other side the task force did not move forward at full speed like Wang Lun and them, although they entered the mountain three days later than Wang Lun and the two of them, but when Wang Lun and they entered the forbidden land, the task force only walked less than half the distance. It's not that they're slow, it's because Huo Ben deliberately slows down. There was a strong man beside him who asked Huo Ben why he didn't go full speed, and before he finished speaking, Huo Ben glared back.
"Full speed ahead? Why are we in a hurry, haven't they already sent someone in? We don't actually need to enter the forbidden land, after their people come out, we just need to kill them and rob their herbs, in addition, I heard that this forbidden land is extremely dangerous, which of you is willing to go, anyway, Lao Tzu is not going, just wait on this road, besides, even if you don't grab it, what can you do? That bullshit city lord has already said that we are just looking for it, and he didn't say that he will definitely find it, that is to say, it doesn't matter to us whether we can find it or not, so what's the hurry. ”
After speaking, Huo Ben commanded his subordinates again, "Hey, you two go and bury the traps brought from the barracks, you two go and hunt some game to feed us, you go and set up the hidden weapon mechanism, don't press it all, let's press a few more places!" ”
