Mu Changzhou looked at her with his eyes: "Yin Niang really found it for me." ”

Shun Yin lowered his eyes to avoid his gaze: "It's Second Brother Mu's own eyes." ”

Mu Changzhou leaned closer to her right ear: "I think you have already discovered the abnormality, and you will only pause when you see this." ”

Shunyin was silent, she didn't think about whether she really wanted to help him, but it was a fact that she didn't like Ganzhou's behavior, and with Ganzhou acting now, it was not a thorn in the Central Plains. She paused when she saw the flag just now, somewhat deliberately, because she wanted him to find out for himself, so she didn't directly help him.

Mu Changzhou clenched her arm: "There must be more than these soldiers and horses here, there must be more." After saying that, take her down immediately.

Shun Yin followed him down with difficulty, pursed his lips and thought, what's more, that small city should also be full of soldiers and horses, and I am afraid that there are no ordinary people in it.

So when they came, An Qingui was willing to lead the way to inspect the camp immediately without much refusal, in order to give the city time to camouflage, and the yellow flag was the herald.

By the time they returned from camping, the whole city was already an ordinary small city, and when they left this morning, there was nothing unusual.

She secretly deduced that the yellow flag was a warning, and the blue flag was mostly a sign of nothing......

Half an hour later, they were standing behind another hill, and there was another camp below.

It was even larger than the flag-flown camp, with at least six or seven thousand men, and the blue flag was hoisted above the sentry post.

The intricacies of the mountains and the dense couls make it an excellent place to hide the military camp.

Mu Changzhou turned around, still holding Shunyin's arm, and there was already a smile on his lips: "It seems that not only can I pull out this thorn, but I can also provoke it by the roots." ”

Shunyin suddenly stepped on the gravel under his feet, slipped and supported him on his arm in time.

Mu Changzhou grabbed her arm and looked at her. She has never walked such a complicated mountain road, nor has she climbed high and low in such a short period of time, she has sweat on her forehead at this time, her cheeks are slightly red, her breath is uncertain, and her chest is also rising and falling slightly, but it reflects the softness of her face, but her eyebrows and eyes are wet and cold.

His voice was lower: "Did I go too fast?" ”

Shun Yin shook his head, calmed his breath, and suddenly felt that the place where his hand was holding was strong and powerful, glanced at his arm, and let go.

Mu Changzhou looked at her face again, and led her to continue down, her pace much slower.

As soon as he reached the place where the horse stopped at the foot of the mountain, he suddenly stopped.

Shunyin followed and stopped, and saw him turn his head to stare into the distance, then turned around, grabbed the reins of the horse and stuffed it into her hand: "Go." ”

She was stunned, stepped on the stirrup and got on the horse, and when she saw that he had turned over and got on the horse, she immediately rode out with him.

There seemed to be the sound of hooves in the distance, and she couldn't hear it clearly, but she guessed that it was probably the patrolling soldiers and horses coming.

Mu Changzhou listened to the movement all the way, and quickly pulled the reins and turned deeper into the belly of the mountain, still very close to her, barely a distance from the body of a horse.

There was a faint movement on both sides of the front, and he heard the muffled sound of hooves, not the people and horses who were patrolling, slowing down, and looking back at Shunyin.

Shun Yin couldn't hear the movement clearly, so she could only follow him closely, and when she saw his eyes, she also slowed down.

Sure enough, fast horses came on both sides, it was Hu Xiao'er and Zhang Junfeng, and two archers also rushed over, and after stopping, they silently raised their hands to salute.

"Military Division," Zhang Junfeng whispered as he approached, "There seems to be movement in the mountain col in the rear, not in the direction of the previous camp." ”

Mu Changzhou nodded: "I have found it." ”

Hu Xiao'er stared at her in surprise: "The military secretary has found it alone?" ”

Mu Changzhou looked back at Shunyin, she turned her head to look at the terrain on both sides, but did not look at him.

There was a faint sound of hooves outside, and Zhang Junfeng said eagerly: "The patrol seems to be coming." ”

The reins in Mu Changzhou's hand shook and immediately moved forward.

Several people hurriedly followed.

Shun Yin followed him to his left, only to feel the hooves of the patrolling soldiers and horses getting closer and closer, and even she could hear them.

Ahead was a deeper mountain, full of mixed forests, her eyes observed everywhere more frequently, her brows furrowed, this mountain has many forks, the terrain is changeable, and the more you go in, the more complicated it becomes.

Mu Changzhou suddenly stopped and raised his hand.

Several people stopped.

Shunyin also reined in his horse, and saw him turn his head to look at him, and then pull the horse to the side.

She looked to the side, Zhang Junfeng and Hu Xiao'er were both glancing at herself, clamped the horse's belly, and followed him to his side.

Mu Changzhou stretched out his hand and grabbed her reins, the two horses were close, and they were close to each other, close to her right and said: "The patrol people and horses are not only all the way, they are all coming here, I will lead them away, you take the opportunity to lead the archers out and wait for me outside the mountain." ”

Shun Yin looked at him, glanced at the arm on his forearm, guessed that he had made arrangements, pulled the reins, and immediately walked to the side.

Mu Changzhou saw her beat her horse out without hesitation, and pulled the corners of her mouth self-deprecatingly, thinking that she didn't want to stay here for a long time, after all, she had no intention of helping him, so she turned her head and waved to the bow guard.

The archers immediately stepped forward, listened to his two orders, and chased after the guards.

As soon as Shunyin went out, he heard the sound of the horse's hooves approaching again, and glanced back at Mu Changzhou from the horse, only to see him pulling the horse and running away to the other side, straight into the depths. The sound of the approaching hooves, I don't know if they noticed the movement, it seems that they are all going there.

She pursed her lips, grabbed the reins, and walked in reverse......

Mu Changzhou waved his hand twice behind him when he galloped out.

Hu Xiao'er and Zhang Junfeng received the signal and followed separately from one left and one right, in a defensive posture.

The three fast horses went straight to the southwest, and the sound of hooves faintly chased after them, but they were not in a hurry, and they were obviously not found yet, probably hearing their deliberate movements, and were patrolling all the way.

The sun was fading, the sky was darkening, and it was too far into the depths of the mountain.

The sound of the trailing hooves had thinned out, and many of the horses had scattered before they could be found. For a while, it was still there, and it didn't relax, and it was already close to the stand.

There was a rocky slope ahead, Mu Changzhou stopped his horse, glanced at the left and right, got off the horse, led the horse to the back of the slope, and took the longbow and quiver on the horse's back.

It seems that they can't avoid these few. The two people behind them numbered, and immediately dismounted, took the bow and pressed the knife, and hid the horse slope in the same way, and were more than ten steps away from him, and waited prostrately.

The slope is low and difficult to hide, Mu Changzhou squatted behind the cliff, only half hidden, with a bow and arrows, pointing to the way.

Soon people and horses came, and sure enough, they came all the way, the knife in their hands was already sharp, and they looked around very carefully. It was a team of five people, three people in front, only a few dozen steps away, and two people were still far away, checking the periphery in the distance one by one.

Seeing that the three people in front were about to patrol over, they suddenly took the lead in turning the direction and came straight to this stone slope, and the two people behind also followed.

Before he could get close, an arrow shot out and passed through the throat.

Mu Changzhou let go, and the leader had fallen silently from his horse.

The two people in the back didn't have time to speak, and there were two more arrows, and Hu Xiaoer and Zhang Junfeng shot the hearts of the two almost at the same time.

The sound of falling horses seemed to alarm the two people who were inspecting the periphery, and the two men immediately came on horseback.

Mu Changzhou had already set up the second arrow, and as soon as his fingers were loosened, another arrow pierced his throat.

The last person in the rear was shot by Zhang Junfeng, and after falling off the horse, he screamed in pain, as if he was about to shout in a hurry, but Mu Changzhou's third arrow had arrived, and it still hit his throat.

But for a moment, there was no wind and no sound in all directions, as if nothing had happened.

Mu Changzhou collected his bow, took a few thin and short arrow clusters inserted in his arm, and threw them to Zhang Junfeng.

Zhang Junfeng took a few for himself, handed two more to Hu Xiao'er, and the two quickly went out, pulled out the arrows they had shot earlier from the bodies of several fallen people, wiped away the bloodstains, and buried the arrows in their wounds.

It was a cluster of Tibetan arrows, and they had just gone all the way here because this area was close to Tibet, and if they really couldn't avoid it, they couldn't leave traces, just as the Tibetan soldiers and horses had met with them.

The two of them moved quickly, and dragged the men and horses into the dense forest to hide, and when they came out, it was already dark.

Mu Changzhou got up with a bow, walked to the horse, and turned over.

The two of them got on their horses silently and followed him back.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and there was a camp hidden in the mountains but there was no fire, and the road became more and more remote.

Mu Changzhou stopped, turned around and glanced at the place from which he came, there was no fog in the mountain, but there was sand and dust, at this time it was dark for a night, through the mountain wind, not high or low to float out, like a thick slurry over the horse's hooves, the four directions were vast, the road below was difficult to distinguish, only the surrounding mountain shadows were enough.

He looked around and sneered lowly: "No wonder An Qingui chose to set up camp here, it turned out that there was no entry or exit. ”

Zhang Junfeng hurriedly said: "That's bad, in order to lead the patrol to the border, we have taken too far of the road, and there are no scouts to explore the route, only based on the area of the camp yesterday, I am afraid that we will be trapped here." ”

Hu Xiao'er suppressed her voice and snorted: "This dog thief is really hidden, and he doesn't light it at night, but it seems that there are really no soldiers and horses to hide!" ”

Mu Changzhou didn't say a word, pulled the reins and moved forward.

The two had to keep up with him.

The horse's hooves stepped into the thick night, as if there was no way forward......

Shunyin grabbed the reins, and had returned to the foot of the mountain range when he came, and he had never encountered a patrol along the way, which could be said to be smooth, but it took a lot of time to remember the road and observe along the way.

She dismounted, took two steps back, and looked up at the sky, it was already dark, there were no stars and no moon tonight, and it was very dark all around.

The two archers separated, one following closely behind, and the other walked briskly to the place to watch, but no one spoke, and there was silence.

Shun Yin stood almost motionless, glancing at the way from time to time, and did not wait for Mu Changzhou's figure to appear.

Could it be that he was discovered? If you find it, you will startle the snake, then everything before will be in vain, not to mention pulling out the thorn of Ganzhou, maybe you will be bitten back.

But she didn't think it would be, with Mu Changzhou's mind, it was impossible to have no way back.

After a long time, a faint figure came. Shunyin immediately turned his head to look, and found that it was the archers who had come back to watch.

"Ma'am." The archer whispered as he approached, "The road in the mountains is hard to identify, and there is no military secretary in sight. ”

Shun Yin looked towards the mountain, only to feel that it was extremely dark from afar, remembering that he had attracted people and horses to go deeper before, and twisted his eyebrows, the route in there was already complicated, and now I am afraid that it will be difficult to even get out.

"Madam," another archer approached, "the time is approaching, and the military secretary will leave a message, and if he does not come back when the time comes, please return at once, and pass on the matter to the governor's office, and deal with it as soon as possible." ”

"......" If Shun Yin hadn't stood on the right side, he would have suspected that he had misheard and asked in a low voice, "Is this what he said?" ”

"Yes."

Shunyin pursed his lips, he decided that she had found something, plus what he saw in the mountains today, and rushed back to let the governor's mansion come forward in time, so that even if he didn't have time to come out, he could make An Qingui have no time to deal with it, and he could deal with Ganzhou as he wished.

His back road turned out to be himself. Shun Yin clenched her fingers tightly.

"Madame......" The archers were waiting for orders.

Shun Yin finally took a step under his feet, and remembered his words, the words in the mountains today, and even the words in the house that day, he counted them word by word in his heart, his fingers were almost pinched, Huo Ran turned around, walked quickly to the horse, and stepped up: "Get on the horse and go with me." ”

The archers immediately mounted their horses and followed silently.

Shun Yin pulled the reins and rode back the way he came......

Mu Changzhou galloped out of a miscellaneous forest, stopped, and listened carefully to the movements on all sides.

It was late at night, and the mountains were well guarded, not to mention the hidden camp, and even the camp they had checked before was hidden from the lights, as if a soldier and horse did not want to be known by the outside world.

He had relied on his ears to discern movement to get here, and it was supposed to be the direction of the return, but the path below had become darker and darker, and even the horse could not read the way.

"It's just that it's complicated here, I can't remember the route, and I can't help the military department." Zhang Junfeng whispered in annoyance.

Mu Changzhou observed the surroundings, and suddenly thought of Shunyin's sentence that no one helped him and there were no words. There really was no one to help him.
