Du Jian finished counting the batch of firearms and asked curiously: "Boss, I have never seen Ma Mu carry these things into the cave before. And these firearms are quite familiar, what about poisonous smoke bombs, blood spiders, and gypsophila" , Rolling mines, could this be..."
"That's right, it was you who checked the prohibited goods smuggled by that Hu merchant at the East Gate a few days ago."
"Ah? Really? Aren't all those contraband items destroyed according to law?"
Li Jiangyao smiled: "Idiot, what you burned was just a wooden box. Wouldn't it be a pity to destroy a valuable thing like this in vain? Don't look at the small quantity, but an ambush or a sneak attack is fine. Very useful!”
Du Jian stared in disbelief and couldn't help but think to himself: Darling, the captain's hands are really dark. In addition to these firearms, maybe other confiscated items were also secretly resold by him, right?
Li Jiangyao ignored Lao Du, called his men to gather around him, and told everyone the next action plan.
After hearing his thoughts, Du Jian said in a deep voice: "Boss, I don't have any objections to anything else. But if you plan to break back to Metasequoia alone, I absolutely, completely disagree!"
Li Jiangyao smiled coldly: "Nonsense, if I don't go back, why don't you go back? Can Lin Feng listen to your command?"
Du Jian blinked, and after thinking about it, it made sense, so he added, "Then we should bring at least a few brothers with us, right? The chance of breaking through the enemy's defense line will be higher."
"What a tall ass! I can move quickly by myself, but I have to look forward and backward with others." Li Jiangyao solemnly said: "Old Du, according to my plan, the part outside the city is very important. One more brother here will help More certainty of success. Don't worry about me, just concentrate on completing the task, do you understand?"
Du Jian's expression became serious and he responded seriously: "Don't worry, sir, I understand my humble position!"
Li Jiangyao nodded slightly, and then shouted to everyone: "Brothers, cheer up! Let those bastards know how powerful our Pegasus scouts are!"

After nightfall, the wind and snow became even worse.
The biting cold wind would occasionally roll up the snow on the roof of the tent, and the snow particles would hurt people's faces. The sentries of the Ghost Alliance Horse Bandits were not in the mood to patrol at this time, so they all slipped into the tents next to the camp gate to stay warm.
The tent door curtain was completely opened, and the light of the campfire shone out, making the camp door slightly shiny, which was considered a whistle.
The camp of the Ghost Alliance is located just outside the north gate of Metasequoia. They are highly vigilant about the defenders in the city, but they don't pay much attention to the direction facing the outside. Today's fierce battle has made everyone exhausted, so seven or eight horse bandit soldiers gathered in the tent. Although they didn't dare to drink to warm themselves up, it was okay to gamble a few times in their free time to pass the time of vigil. .
Li Jiangyao quietly sneaked outside the camp gate and peered in through the thick wooden fence. He saw the horse bandits in the tent opposite were guessing and betting, having a great time.
He gently grasped the gap in the fence, and with a little force of his arms, his feet immediately rose into the air, and he jumped up to more than two feet in height, and his whole body was just above the top of the camp fence. He stretched out his right hand in the air, grabbed the picket above the wooden fence, moved his body forward slightly, and easily crossed the camp fence.
Immediately afterwards, Li Jiangyao did a somersault in mid-air, and then landed firmly on the ground without making a single sound.
As soon as his feet touched the ground, he was like an arrow off the string, and shot out directly against the ground. His movement was so fast that he could hardly see clearly.
Li Jiangyao determined the direction, passed through two groups of tents one after another, and entered the core area of the horse bandit camp.
Once here, you can start to see groups of patrolling bandit soldiers. Li Jiangyao did not dare to be careless at all, and quickly squatted down, temporarily leaning against a tent, trying to hide himself in the shadow of the tent.
The heavy snow was still falling, seriously disrupting the sight of various sentries and patrolling bandit soldiers, and at the same time creating favorable conditions for Li Jiangyao.
He secretly estimated that as long as he could successfully cross this slightly open area, and then walk five or six hundred steps further, he would be able to reach the other side of the bandit camp. When the time comes, climb over the fence as it is and go to the North Gate of Metasequoia.
The security of the entire Ghost League horse bandit camp is now very relaxed. With his skills, he can break into the camp without anyone noticing.
When the patrol group just walked away slowly, Li Jiangyao activated his inner breath again and prepared to get up and take action. But at this moment, he suddenly heard voices coming from the tent behind him.
Li Jiangyao couldn't help but was slightly startled, then stabilized his body and squatted down again. He held his breath and paid careful attention. It turned out that a man had just entered the tent next to him and was calling softly: "Uncle Anru, uncle, are you asleep?"
"Which one?" The guy named Anru responded gruffly: "Is it Mount Gordo? You bastard! I asked you to find a bitch during dinner. Now that I have finished drinking, I haven’t seen your ghost yet, where did you die?”
"Uncle Anlu, don't be surprised, the woman was found for you." Geduoshan said flatteringly: "Guess what? That girl is very beautiful. She was kidnapped by Zikejiang and the others from a nearby village. Zikejiang originally He planned to offer her to the alliance leader for enjoyment, but he didn't expect that the alliance leader was discussing important matters with General Duolun and was not in the mood at all, so he kicked her out directly. The old guy didn't flatter her, so he thought of doing it himself. That girl. When I found him, Zi Kejiang had even taken off his pants. Without saying a word, I went up and kicked his ass..."
"Stop being so verbose! Where is the woman?" The bandit leader named Anlu looked extremely impatient.
"Yes, yes, the little one is verbose. She is waiting outside right now. I will bring her in immediately."
As he spoke, a sound of pushing and dragging was heard from the tent, followed immediately by the sound of a woman crying.
Ge Duoshan said with a cruel smile: "Uncle Anlu, you have to be careful. This girl has a very fierce temper. Zi Kejiang's hand was almost bitten by her..."
"Get out of here! Do you think I can't even cure a little girl?!"
Gordoshan laughed strangely and quickly led his men away. At this time, only Anru and the girl were left in the tent. An Lu sneered and said: "I advise you to behave wisely and make you feel comfortable serving me, then I will leave you with a miserable life. Otherwise, I will call all my brothers over and take turns messing with you, do you understand?"
Li Jiangyao, who was hiding outside the tent, couldn't help but sigh secretly after hearing this: Even if he doesn't want to cause trouble this time, it seems he can't.
Andrew, you can only blame yourself for your misfortune!
Li Jiangyao quietly paid attention to the surrounding situation and made sure that no one was around. Then he turned around and drew out the Xingluo knife from behind. Without even a moment's hesitation, he directly opened the tent with the knife.
The horse bandit An Lu, who was trying to do something evil in the tent, was also a highly skilled martial artist. When something suddenly happened, he immediately noticed something was wrong.
But firstly, he drank, and secondly, his thoughts were all on the girl, so his reaction was much slower than usual.
And more importantly, Li Jiangyao's movements were too fast.
Just as the tent suddenly burst, he had already rushed in like lightning, and a ball of violent wind and snow swirled violently, rolling straight towards the unsuspecting Anru.
Horses leap across the Milky Way, meteors fly across.
The strength of Xingluo Dao was instantly raised to its peak state by Li Jiangyao, and the explosive power was so overwhelming that Anlu couldn't even breathe.
At this time, Anlu finally realized that his life was in danger.
Which one should dodge first? Or resist first? Or do you just call for help first without caring about anything?
At the time when he should least be struggling, Anru was struggling with a problem that he shouldn't be struggling with.
There was only one reason. This mysterious raider was so unimaginably fast that Unruh felt that no matter what choice he made, it was wrong.
In the next moment, Anru, who was stunned on the spot, no longer had to worry about it, because his head had already left his body.
Anlu's thick headless body fell to the ground, but Li Jiangyao didn't even look at it, he rushed directly in front of the girl, covered her mouth, and whispered: "Don't shout, I'm here to save you. "
The girl was about to exclaim, but when Li Jiangyao said this, she suddenly looked at him with horror on her face. After a moment, she finally recovered from her fear and nodded silently.
Li Jiangyao secretly breathed a sigh of relief and listened carefully to the movements outside. Fortunately, he acted quickly just now and killed Anru with just one move without alerting the patrol outside.
He slowly inserted the Xingluo Knife back into his back, lifted up the girl who was so scared that she was paralyzed with both hands, and asked in a low voice: "Can you still walk on your own? We have to get out of here now. We'll be in trouble if we're late."
The girl covered her chest with both hands, subconsciously glanced at the dead body next to her, and almost vomited directly. She couldn't help frowning, trying her best to suppress the disgusting feeling, and then nodded towards Li Jiangyao.
Seeing that the girl was still strong, Li Jiangyao was a little relieved. He picked up a cloak from the couch next to him and told her to wrap it tightly to keep out the cold. Then he turned around and led the way, leading the girl out of the hole in the tent.
As soon as the two of them arrived outside, they immediately lowered their backs and lowered their heads. Taking advantage of the cover of the violent storm and snow, they carefully avoided several patrols and sentries, and reached the camp fence near Metasequoia City.

"Brother Lin, there seems to be something going on in the north. Please go take a look."
The sentry on guard at the top of the city came to report to Lin Feng that after nightfall, there was a sudden and looming light from a torch in the direction of the rocky hill outside the north gate. Since they were a little far away, they couldn't see clearly, but intuitively, the bright light seemed to be the unique signaling fire signal of the Pegasus Scout Camp.
When Lin Feng heard this, he immediately thought of Li Jiangyao, and hurried to the north gate tower with Ma Mu, looking out intently.
However, after a long time, they could all see some light.
Ma Mu was greatly disappointed and was about to reprimand his subordinates when Lin Feng suddenly grabbed him and said, "Look over there!"
Following the direction of Lin Feng's finger, Ma Mu squinted his eyes and observed hard, and finally saw a faint fire, flickering and extinguishing.
Just listen to Lin Feng shouting excitedly: "It's adults, it's adults, they are back!"
Ma Mu became excited when he said it: "Really? What does that fire mean? I almost didn't see it!"
Lin Feng ignored him and first ordered the soldiers to put out all the surrounding torches so as not to affect his sight. Then he supported the wall with both hands and stared at that side carefully. After a while, he said: "It is indeed the captain, sir! The fire signal just now means that the sir is preparing to return to the city from this direction. Someone is coming!" "
When the soldiers standing around knew that Li Jiangyao was back, they immediately cheered up and shouted in response. Lin Feng issued several orders in rapid succession, asking everyone to hurry up and get ready, while he and Ma Mu stayed at the top of the city and continued to pay attention to the direction of the rocky hills.
-
At this time, Li Jiangyao was hiding less than a thousand steps away from Lin Feng and the others, and was busy tying the girl to his back with a rope.
The fence of the horse bandit camp is about two feet high, and the girl will never be able to climb it by herself. He had no choice but to come up with this method to hold the two of them together and carry each other over the wall.
After being trapped firmly, Li Jiangyao jumped on the spot a few times with the girl on his back. Fortunately, the girl's body was very light, so it did not hinder his movement. But that soft and delicate body was pressed tightly against his back, which made Li Jiangyao's heart tremble.
The girl seemed to be aware of the close contact between the two, and quickly buried her head shyly behind Li Jiangyao, completely forgetting that she was in danger at this time.
Fortunately, Li Jiangyao was still sober. If he was not careful at this moment, neither of them would be able to leave here alive, so he didn't care about anything else and quickly raised his hand to grab the wooden fence and prepared to jump up.
