Because Thunder Dragon's little personal guard was there, Huang Ming said: "Sir, how about we turn around and fight with them?"
The guards of Zhenguo Palace were refreshed, and they all looked at Ren Ning with eagerness in their eyes.
These days, they have been passively beaten and can only hide in Tibet. They have long had enough of the Xiliang people's arrogance.
Even though the other party has thousands of people chasing after them, and only one-third of them are on their own side, the guards of the Zhenguo Palace are not afraid.
"No rush, wait until next time."
Ren Ning shook his head and refused.
"We are not afraid of them. It's just that everyone has been hungry for a while and is relatively lacking in physical strength. We should transport the meat back first to replenish our physical strength and come back later to compete with the Xiliang people."
Everyone understood, turned around and left quietly.
Ren Ning fell behind and used the trees to set up several enchantment formations to conceal the whereabouts of everyone, and then disappeared on the west mountain.
The next day, it was bright.
Yingxiang looked at the more than twenty half-burnt corpses in front of him expressionlessly, and felt irritated after hearing the report of the losses.
The men sent to Xishan found nothing except the hidden sentry where they were killed. Even where the other party comes from, he still has no idea.
"Our hounds can't find where these cloud-clutching rats have gone?" he asked.
The guards around him all looked embarrassed, and finally shook their heads silently.
The hunting dogs of the clan started from the foot of the hill in the east and chased westward following the smell of fat left by the beef and mutton jerky. However, after catching up to the top of Xishan Mountain, they suddenly lost their way and ended up spinning flat on the top of the mountain.
The previous smell of grease and the enemy's footprints seemed to disappear all at once. No matter how many dozens of hunting dogs searched, they could never find the slightest trace.
"How is that possible?" Yingxiang couldn't believe it. "Could they still be able to carry the heavy dried meat and fly away?"
cough.
One of the guards coughed slightly.
"Young Patriarch, it is also possible that our soldiers were wandering around on the Western Mountain looking for clues, which caused the atmosphere in the mountain to be confused. By the time the hunting dogs arrived, they could no longer tell who was our enemy."
Yingxiang's face was even more ugly.
Does that mean his command was wrong?
At this moment, a panicked call suddenly came from the front.
"Young Patriarch, something is wrong in the east."
Yingxiang perked up and strode over.
However, before taking a few steps, he was stopped by several guards.
"Young Patriarch, please don't go there yet." The man said hurriedly: "Before, everyone was only focusing on putting out the fire and not paying attention to anything else. We just found some strange rotten dried meat in the fire. It seems that they were brought by the Yunchui people, and Deliberately hiding in the fire seems to be intentional so that we don’t notice them in the first place.”
"What's the weird method?" Ying Xiang's heart skipped a beat.
As the pioneer of Xiliang, his Blood Moon Tribe was stuck with the Benlu Tribe and was unable to advance eastward. In the end, he led a small tribe and followed the Chinese army to bypass the Yankui Fortress and then came to the Luoxia Mountains.
The reason for all this is not only due to the tenacity and bravery of the fortress soldiers in combat, but also because of a word that makes people laugh.
Epidemic!
Therefore, when hearing adjectives such as weird, rotten, and unapproachable, all Xiliang generals could not help but feel frightened.
The soldier who came to report emphatically described the appearance of the dried meat, and the faces of the Blood Moon people changed dramatically.
Ying Xiang made a prompt decision.
"Let Dr. Luo check what's going on with the dried meat. No matter who they are, all the tribesmen involved in fighting the fire are immediately isolated in place and are not allowed to move around without permission, otherwise they will be killed without mercy. Everyone else bypasses them and retreats twenty miles to camp again. "
No one questioned it.
The entire Blood Moon camp immediately took action.
Driving a car, moving a car, marching a march.
In one morning, the endless livestock and tents in the trapped dragon's nest had been cleared away, and the group moved to a small valley about twenty miles to the east.
While the others were busy, Yingxiang came out and circled around, frowning even more.
There was a reason why he chose to camp in the Sleeping Dragon's Nest before.
It was originally a camp used by east-west caravans to spend the night when they passed through the Luoxia Mountains. The open terrain and abundant water resources were suitable for large groups to camp.
The nameless valley in front of us is not large, and the tents can only be lined up in a long line along the foot of the mountain. There are lush mountains and forests on both sides, which makes Yingxiang feel guilty just looking at them.
"Young Patriarch, this place looks dangerous, why don't we retreat again." Someone suggested.
Yingxiang shook his head silently.
He also wants to withdraw. But unless they completely exit the Luoxia Mountains and retreat to Dingxi County, there is no good place to camp.
"Hurry up and let Dr. Luo, who is staying at the trapped dragon's nest, find out what those dried meats are?" he said.
The guard responded and quickly sent people east.
However, not long after, news came.
"Young Patriarch, Doctor Luo seems to have contracted the epidemic."
"It seems?" Yingxiang was furious: "If you are infected, you are infected. If you are not infected, you are not infected. What does it mean to be like?"
"That's it." The soldier who reported the news was trembling with fear and quickly told what he saw and heard.
Because of the isolation and ban, he was a little far away from the water pool in the trapped dragon's nest, so he couldn't see it very accurately.
I only saw Dr. Luo fetching water from the stream alone, probably for making medicine or testing. As a result, as soon as the man reached the water, he fell into it and never climbed back up.
Pool?
Yingxiang groaned.
When the team first set up camp in the trapped dragon's nest, he had looked around the surrounding environment and understood the water pool in the trapped dragon's nest.
Because they needed drinking water for the large caravans staying here, the Yunchui people also built a dam on the lower reaches of the stream. So the water in the pool is a bit deep.
"Perhaps Dr. Luo's foot slipped, or there is a cloud in the water?" he said.
Xiao Bing shook his head and said firmly: "It can't be because of slippery feet."
Not many people in Xiliang are good at water, and they all have a fear of deep water.
Dr. Luo was not too old. He could have called for help the moment he slipped into the water. However, there was no sound.
"The younger one and several tribesmen have been watching from a distance. No one has ever floated in that pool, unless he can live in the water like a fish."
well.
Yingxiang sighed, frowning so hard that he could kill a mosquito.
"Doctor Luo, have you fished it out now?" he asked with luck.
Xiao Bing nodded, "The person has been fished out, and there are no injuries on his body. It's like he was unconscious before he fell into the water."
Yingxiang finally gave up.
He waved his hand helplessly and asked the soldier to go back and continue staring.
"Go ahead and tell all the brothers to be alert whether they are eating, drinking or sleeping. The Yunchui people are very likely to sneak in and attack at any time."
It was night again, and Lei Er finally returned to the mountaintop camp.
"Old Lei, did you fall into the water?" Huang Ming was a little weird and quickly brought a bowl of hot soup, "Drink some beef soup to warm yourself up first."
It was only the turn of spring and summer, and the weather was still quite cold at night.
Lei Er laughed and held the bowl, "We've been on the road all this time. I was very dirty, so I took a bath in the water."
"Aren't you worried that the people from Xiliang will follow the light of the fire and come to the camp?" he asked curiously.
Huang Ming, who had eaten and drank enough, didn't care and said carelessly: "I'm afraid that I'm here with Lao Ren."
Now he is still eager for the Xiliang people to touch him and have a good fight.
