After defeating the horse thieves, Ling Xiao and Hu Bugui discussed and stayed in place for a day, firstly to prevent more horse thieves from taking advantage of the fire to rob, and secondly, to clean up the battlefield and deal with the prisoners!

After this battle, the mental outlook of the officers and men of the honor guard who accompanied them has undergone a great change. The most obvious embodiment is that they seem to be much calmer, and they no longer see the wind or rain!

After the clerk's statistics, Ling Xiao learned that 64 horse thieves were killed on the spot, 236 were wounded, and the others escaped, and 21 horses and more than 340 weapons of various types were captured!

Judging from the results, it was undoubtedly a big victory, but Ling Xiao was still not satisfied! These brothers who came out with him actually killed twelve people just by encountering a stream of horse thieves, which made Ling Xiao feel very sad!

Seeing his brother who had been with him day and night in the past falling, Ling Xiao had an indescribable disgust for this cruel battle for the first time! And even more resentment! In his expectation, injuries were inevitable, but there should be no brother to die, let alone one missing!

The missing soldier's name is Wang Xiaoer, who doesn't know a single big character, but he has grown into a master in the battle with the Dreadnought Empire on the long-term border! Although everyone has said that this Wang Xiaoer is afraid of war and has become a deserter, the border troops led by Zhang Trap will never believe that Wang Xiaoer will become a deserter!

In fact, Ling Xiao didn't believe it, but he thought about it more. Strong bow and arrow, the method of battle to deal with the plagar uàn carved out the present mound you wave Xin Song to send you to change the Xuan Huan 龀て 谪 Song to protect the Xuan

Such a result can only show one problem, in the night battle, the other side is not only a group of horse thieves, but there must be a force secretly taking advantage of the fire to rob!

Although Ling Xiao couldn't guess which force was causing the trouble, he vaguely felt that it might have something to do with the box on Hu Bugui's body! For the sake of safety, he discussed with Hu Bugui to stay in camp for a day and wait for help!

During this day, Ling Xiao constantly sent scouts to investigate in all directions, and at the same time handed over the prisoners to the city guards near this place! The rest of the people were to guard the camp and summarize the gains and losses of this night battle!

The day passed quickly, but the news that could be obtained made this lone army more and more confused! First of all, twelve scouts sent out, but only nine returned, except for the way they came, one scout in each of the other three directions lost contact!

As early as soon after the night battle, the members of the envoy group who were sent by Hu Bugui to ask for reinforcements were even more unheard, originally, this place was not far from the border city of the Song Kingdom, and the departure of the brigade was only two days away, and the single and double-ridden envoy could go back and forth in less than a day!

These abnormal circumstances made Ling Xiao and Hu Bugui realize that in addition to the horse thief, there must be another force hovering near the team, waiting for an opportunity to move, but the opponent's strength must not be much stronger, otherwise yesterday's night battle with the horse thief would be the best time for the other party to attack!

And the most likely thing is that the other party is not many in number, but all of them are masters. From the fact that the scouts dispatched twelve people and returned nine, it can be seen that the other party is likely to have no more than ten people!

After planning all night, Ling Xiao and Hu Bugui didn't come up with any good solutions! On the second day, they encountered bad weather with clouds and torrential rain, and they had to find a piece of high ground to camp after only walking less than 30 miles!

Although it was daytime, under the cover of clouds, the light was dim, and the effect of the pouring rain made it impossible for even the best eyesight to look 100 meters away! People had to sit in their tents, chatting boringly and killing time!

At this moment, a terrible scream suddenly echoed on the edge of the camp! When Ling Xiao, Hu Bugui, and Zhang Trap, who reacted the fastest, arrived, they found that another brother had died!

The deceased was a member of the envoy group, tall and tall, and according to Hu Bugui, he had a good kung fu, especially his quick body and quick reaction! But now this brother was killed without even pulling out the knife in his hand!

Judging by the situation, it was this person who couldn't hold back and went out to urinate alone, so he was targeted by the enemy and killed here!

The wound was small inside and large outside, and the crack was cut into four sides, which made Ling Xiao suddenly think of a person, that is, what Liu Yu said, the new master of the gun of the third prince!

This wound was obviously caused by the spear, combined with the cause and effect, Ling Xiao knew that the enemy's target was still himself!

Ruthless! Vicious! Ling Xiao came up with these two words in his heart, but he couldn't think of any better way to deal with them! He had to arrange for the order to be passed down, and no one could move around at will, especially not alone!

Ling Xiao himself is discussing a solution with Hu Bugui and the tent!

"Lao Hu, you have also seen it, now the situation is tense, don't talk nonsense, I need you to tell me what exactly are you carrying this time, will attract these people?" Although he was not sure whether the enemy's target was himself or the box, Ling Xiao still wanted to ask clearly, and he had a good idea!

"Commander Ling, up to now, I, Lao Hu, will not hide it from you! The most important result of this mission is the letter of state signed by the two countries, in order to jointly resist the dreadnought empire! Now it seems that the enemy's goal is nothing more than this letter in the box!" Lao Hu touched the box and explained the contents of the box quite briskly!

"That's it......" Ling Xiao fell into deep thought after hearing this!

The enemy's force is higher than that of the enemy, and it is in the dark, and the superiority of the enemy's forces can hardly be developed, if the weather is good, you can also try to lure it into an ambush and attack it in groups, but now in the face of such an enemy, there is no way at all!

It's better to break it into parts, scatter to scatter, and maintain local superior forces to have the power to fight!

Thinking about it, Ling Xiao's eyes flashed with essence again, he believed that his long-trained soldiers would never be defeated by any so-called master! What they lacked was a chance to fight the enemy in the bright light! Then he would give them this opportunity!

From the grinding, I believe that the fighters who have gone through this tempering will definitely have a high-speed growth!

Thinking of this, Ling Xiao didn't hesitate any longer! Ignoring the rain, he turned over onto the top of the tent and shot the arrow again!

In less than three breaths, more than 50 people were neatly assembled in front of the tent, let the rain hit, but they did not move!

Ling Xiao's clear voice sounded, "Brothers, you may all know that there is a group of people around us, who are waiting for an opportunity like wolves, showing their fangs when people are unprepared!"

"Our brothers died in no apparent terms, but they didn't even have a chance to fight! That was the enemy's cunning, and even more so the enemy's fear, afraid that there were more of us here than they were!

"Take a group of five people, form a plum blossom formation, advance and retreat together, each group marches according to the indicated route, be cautious! When encountering the enemy, shoot it with arrows, if there are many enemies, use the arrows of the Ming Di to warn, stick to the reinforcements, and finally take Kyoto City as the assembly point, and return to the camp after returning to the city to listen to Liu Yinghui's command!"

Divided all his subordinates into ten groups and scattered, but Ling Xiao was alone and walked with Na Hu Bugui!

"Old Hu, no matter what the enemy's goal is, the two of us can be said to be the most dangerous group! Actually, on the one hand, I want to temper my subordinates, and on the other hand, I don't want them to die here in vain!

"Don't say that, it's good to be your soldier! Besides, it's not like we don't have any chances, now that there are fewer people and our actions are more hidden, maybe we can sneak out!"

During the conversation, the figures of the two gradually disappeared into the rain and disappeared!

Although Liu Yu was already a master of spirit control, like the four brothers around him, he did not stimulate the spiritual power to protect the body, but let the rain pour on his body, for fear that the target would be exposed because of the light of spiritual power!

The four of them were outside, Liu Yu was inside, forming a well-trained plum blossom arrow array and carefully walking on the wilderness!

Suddenly, a little light flashed in front of him, and Liu Yu had already realized that it must be a master who appeared, and while shouting, "Don't do it, let's surrender!" while secretly making a gesture to the four brothers to prepare to attack!

Liu Yu does not have superb archery skills like others, but he also has his own advantages, the title of the eight-sided shadow monkey is not fake! Just when the other party hesitated a little because of his shout, Liu Yu had already launched an attack on the other party, and when a string of fake bodies flashed out, Liu Yu had already rushed to the other party!

And at this moment, the four brothers, a total of sixteen wind feather arrows, also silently penetrated the rain barrier at the same time and shot in front of each other!

Suddenly, that master's body was attacked in all directions, and his protective spiritual power was shattered after only surviving twelve under the attack of sixteen powerful arrows! All Liu Yu had to do was to lightly cut his neck and collect his head!

The same thing happened everywhere in the rain, some of the brothers were unlucky, but many more were ordered to return to Kyoto Castle after killing their opponents! As a result, the remaining thirty-eight archers were full of murderous spirit, but they began to grow up in earnest! They were baptized by wind and rain, blood, and were no longer the flowers in the greenhouse!

Dugu Chuxuan was so angry that the word "Ling Xiao" was squeezed out between his teeth! Seeing the seven helpers he brought die one by one, he was weak and couldn't be rescued. This made Dugu Chuxuan's hatred for Ling Xiao deeper and deeper!

And the most painful thing is that in the rain, Dugu Chuxuan also lost Ling Xiao's figure, but he knew that Ling Xiao and Na Guoshu were together, but he didn't worry that the target would be scattered!

After thinking about it, Dugu Chuxuan made up his mind, since I can't find a trace, then I will go to the front and wait for you, go to the Song Kingdom, and then the Heavenly City will be the place to pass!
