Chapter 107: Suspicion
For three full days, following the pattern of marching day and night, the troops led by the monkey finally left the actual control of the Lion Camel Nation army.
For the first three days, everything was calm, they could barely see the chariots patrolling the Heavenly Survey, and the team did not encounter any difficulties other than the rugged mountain road. However, at dawn on the third day, when the monkeys hid with a large army into a bush on the mountainside, things seemed to change all at once.
Taking advantage of the rest of his troops, the monkeys secretly sneaked along with the highest cultivation angle in the team to explore the way, and less than ten miles away, they had already seen three chariots of the Heaven Survey Mansion crossing overhead. On each chariot were at least two Heavenly Generals who had cultivated in the God Refining Realm.
The frequency of this patrol ......
"If we march during the day, I'm afraid we won't be able to dodge no matter how we dodge, right?"
"The evening march was no better. ”
"What then?"
Turning his back, the monkey leaned against the stone and thought for a long time, but he didn't come up with a solution.
Soon, the Heaven Survey chariot hovering in the distance had disappeared from the sky.
Looking in the direction where the chariot had disappeared, Qijiao whispered, "I have a solution." ”
"Tell me about it. ”
"We divided the troops into small groups, groups of ten, and kept in touch with each other until we reached the destination. This way, the target is not too big and not easy to spot. And the ten little demons, even if they are discovered, the other party will not feel that this is the demon army approaching. ”
Hearing this, the monkey glanced at Qijiao lightly and said, "It's a very good idea, but it's not feasible." ”
"How?" asked Akira softly.
Taking a deep breath, the monkey frowned and sighed, "Divided into teams of ten, that means that each team has to have a head." The whole army needs more than 200 people who can lead the team alone, and this man is ...... I'm afraid I can't take it out, right? Besides, what do we rely on to get in with each other? Scouts? I don't have that many scouts. Such troops, before they reach their destination, should simply fall apart. ”
"And this is only part of the problem, and the other problem is that although it is difficult for the other side to detect us if we are dispersed, the price is that once the other side perceives it and moves against us, our troops are in a state of dispersion, and there is no power to fight back at all. It can only be broken by each one. ”
"In addition, the so-called discovery team will not think that we are an army of demon clans, and that is based on the premise that we do not rescue us. The Sky Survey will do something to the demons they find, and if we fight back, they will know where the rest of us are. And if we don't fight back, it means dying against the small forces that are discovered. ”
As he spoke, the monkey shook his head and said, "So, this plan doesn't work. ”
"I just mentioned it in passing, and I didn't mean anything else. Qijiao smiled awkwardly and said, "That...... Do you have any other options?"
"Not for the time being, be careful. Stretching, the monkey got up and began to walk back.
Seeing this, Qijiao had no choice but to follow.
Back and forth, a distance of ten miles, in the hands of two monsters in the God Refining Realm, even if it is sneaking, it is only half a day.
Returning to the bushes where he had been temporarily hidden, he went to appease the deer demons who had been tired for days, while the monkey lay lazily on a high place, resting and looking around to set up a sentry.
After a while, Da Hong quietly slipped to the monkey's side and said mysteriously: "Brother Monkey, I think those deer demons are a little wrong. ”
The monkey craned its neck and glanced at the hidden bushes.
In the distance, the monkey saw a circle of deer demons talking about something around the horns. To be precise, it's the horns that are talking about something, and those deer demons are listening.
"What do you mean by something you're talking about?"
Da Hong replied hesitantly: "I can't tell you this, but I just feel that they seem to have something to hide from us." Today I found two deer demons to talk to, but I couldn't get anything. Phew, it's those two. ”
As he spoke, Da Hong pointed in the direction where the Ambiguity was.
To be honest, the monkey didn't know which two deer demons Da Hong was referring to, after all, there were deer demons sitting in a circle next to Qijiao.
However, at this moment, the angle just turned sideways. In the distance, he saw a monkey looking at him, and a big red who was pointing at him.
At that moment, the monkey clearly saw the flicker in the eyes of the horns. Of course, it was only for a moment, and the next moment, Qijiao had already hurriedly turned his face away.
"I think there's something wrong with them, especially that one of the odds. You see, they often talk to those deer demons in private, and every time I sneak in, they shut up. Surely something is being said that doesn't want us to know. As he spoke, Da Hong looked nervously at the monkey.
After being silent for a long time, the monkey just said casually: "I know it in my heart." ”
For the rest of the day, the monkey would look at the corner from time to time, and he would find that he was looking at him, intentionally or not. After eye contact, it will be avoided for a moment. It looks like a thief has a weak heart.
Night had fallen again, and after a little reorganization, the ranks had to begin their march in the dark again.
In general, in order to ensure the speed of the march, they would adopt a long snake formation, that is, one person followed the other, marching in a column. In addition to the scouts who were sent out to keep a guard around them, the two teams of Monkey and Horn had the highest cultivation, and they would generally press the formation one by one.
Today, however, the monkey chose to let the horns follow him.
When this decision was spoken, all the demons seemed to be a little surprised, especially those deer demons. It was a disagreement, as if it had a premonition, and did not raise any objections.
The team set off like this, the monkey and the horn walked in the front to explore the way, and among the troops behind them, the monkey's original men and horses were completely scattered and mixed into the deer demon.
Along the way, from time to time, the chariots of the Heavenly Survey Mansion crossed overhead, and the scouts accurately sounded the hidden code, and everything was quite stable. It's just that the monkey and the horn walk together, but they don't say a word.
Time passed little by little, until the time came, passing through a ravine, the monkey suddenly asked, "Is there anything you want to tell me?"
"I want to tell you?" the horns seemed to be startled, and some of them were hesitant.
"yes, don't you have anything to tell me?"
"Nope. Qijiao shook his head.
The first attempt at the conversation ended hastily, and the two continued to lead the team forward in the dark.
After being asked by the monkey, Qijiao seemed to be even more silent, and even not the same as before. Originally, he would have looked back to see how the team behind him was going, but after the monkey asked, he simply walked with his head down, thinking about something in a bit of a distraught, as if nothing else had anything to do with him.
In this way, after another hour of walking, Qijiao finally seemed to be unable to bear it, and said, "I...... There's something I'd like to discuss with you. ”
"What's the matter?" the monkey's eyes crept toward him by the moonlight.
I saw Qijiao blinking his eyes blankly, as if trying to calm his mood, and after a long time, he continued: "I think you should also see it, but you didn't say it." This time, it's a little weird. ”
Jumping lightly on a rock, the monkey turned around and stretched out a hand towards him: "What do you say?"
Holding the monkey's hand on the rock, Qijiao said cautiously: "Lion Camel King...... Probably want to clean us all out once and for all. As we thought when we set off, there really was no reason for the Lion Llama to send us such a task, and the only explanation was that they wanted us to take off our armor ourselves. You know what I mean?"
When he said this, his voice was very soft, but his breathing was very rapid, and under the moonlight, the monkey could clearly see the solemn gaze of the horns, and even hear the rapid heartbeat.
The two of them just stood on the rocks and looked at each other silently.
Soon, the troops behind them were already following. The monkey jumped off the rock, and Qijiao hurriedly followed, giving way to the people behind.
"I know. The monkey whispered, "I'm a little skeptical, but not as clear as you think." ”
After getting the monkey's affirmation, Qijiao seemed to be a little excited, and hurriedly said: "When I was in the Lion Camel Country, I didn't say it because it was useless to say it. He wants to do it, and he can do it whether you take the assignment or not. Even if we disobey, we will be executed on another ground. At least I can think of other ways now, if the Lion Camel Country says it, then there is no way. ”
"So, what else do you call it?" the monkey looked at him slowly.
Taking a deep breath, Qijiao said in an almost imperceptible voice, "Go...... Guan River Estuary. There is no going back to the Lion Camel Country, and it is a death to go back. There are also monsters in Yang Jian's troops, and now we can only live if we take refuge in Yang Jian. It's the only way to go. ”
With that, he cautiously looked at the monkey, trying to find something in the monkey's face. However, it didn't.
The monkey's expression, as calm as ever, did not answer him. It's just that I'm still silently hurrying on the road.
After a moment of silence, Qijiao continued, "I'm sorry, but we caused you trouble. In fact, I also knew at the time that the Lion Camel King might not let us go, after all, he had just exterminated the Deer Clan, and it was impossible to allow such an army as ours to exist. But I can't help it, that's why I ...... This is not far from the territory of the Guanjiangkou Army, so you can come with us. ”
"What you're talking about now is just conjecture, it's all something that hasn't been decided yet. ”
"I can't wait for sure, I carry the lives of more than a thousand people on my shoulders, and I have the responsibility to take them alive, and when it's confirmed, in case it's not what we want...... It's too late. ”
The monkey walked step by step, silent all the way. Behind that, the Horn followed closely.
After a long time, the monkey asked softly, "Do I have to give an answer now?"
