Chapter 147 Undercurrent
"What clues were missed?"
After Zhao Feng couldn't think about it, he simply started to meditate with his eyes closed, not thinking about these external things. Anyway, he didn't care much about these goods. He just wanted to make sure that nothing happened to the escorts he brought.
"If a big accident really happens, just run away." The lazy young man thought.
…
In the area to the west of the team, the Helian family and others were tired of running around. Although there were not many people coming from the opponent, their own condition was extremely poor, which caused them to fight hard for a long time. At this moment, a warbler cried. Suddenly it sounded in the night sky, and the group of men in black immediately retreated after hearing it, and disappeared here not long after.
"They have retreated, head of the family, do we still want to pursue them?"
He Lianjing looked tired and shook his head, and replied: "After burying those soldiers who died in the battle, we can all go back and rest. We will continue our journey tomorrow morning."
"yes."
It didn't take long for the casualties of this battle to be summarized. The head of the Qin family quickly rushed to the camp where the Qingjia guards were with a scroll. However, before he could step in, he saw two Qingjia soldiers outside the camp. Stopped him.
"Master Tan is resting inside, no one is allowed to enter without permission!"
The head of the Qin family was stunned on the spot with the scroll in his hands. He could neither advance nor retreat for a moment. He had to ask for instructions: "Can you tell the guard, please tell me that Qin Ci wants to see you?"
"The guard is taking a rest. If there is anything else, let's talk about it tomorrow!"
Seeing that the other party was so determined, Qin Ci had no choice but to retreat. At this moment, he was filled with resentment. What did his identity as the head of the Qin family mean to the Tan family?
Not only Qin Ci, but other forces also basically knew the casualties. Forty-two people on their side died, 27 were seriously injured, and 33 were slightly injured. At such a high price, they only replaced They killed twenty-eight people on the other side. It has to be said that the biggest responsibility for the night attack this time was those who were responsible for the night watch. Unfortunately, they could no longer convict them. In the battle just now, these eight night watchmen were All have died.
"Everyone clean up the battlefield, take everything you can use, and bury the rest."
"yes."
…
In the camp, He Lianjing and his son sat cross-legged at the wooden table facing each other, calmly analyzing the situation of the battle.
"What are the casualties?" Helian Haixin asked directly.
He Lianjing sighed first, and then slowly replied: "The casualties were huge. The other party replaced 42 of us with 28 people. One of our Helian family disciples also died."
"Most of the people who died were people from the escort agency," Helian Haixin guessed.
"Well, the Escort Agency accounts for half of the casualties, but there is one special one who has no casualties."
"No casualties?" Helian Hai was a little confused. On that kind of battlefield, it would be difficult for the low-end forces in the escort agency to do this.
"Huofeng Escort Bureau, we also met with their big shopkeeper at that time." He Lianjing replied.
Speaking of Huofeng Escort, Helian Haixin began to think of the performance of this escort in the team with interest.
On the way during the day, almost every escort agency was in a state of fear, except for the group of escorts from the Huofeng Escort Agency who still acted carelessly. I don’t know whether it was a coincidence or intentional, but they happened to be attacked at night tonight. , their condition is surprisingly good.
"Perhaps it is for this reason that this group of people survived." Helian Hai thought in his heart.
"We were caught by surprise this time."
"As expected, the whole day of intense traveling has made everyone a little tired. If I were the enemy, I would also choose to make a surprise attack at night." Helian Haixin replied.
He Lianjing stroked his beard and began to think. In fact, there was always something he didn't understand in his heart.
"Why didn't the enemy fight with all their strength, but instead retreated after fighting for half an hour?"
In fact, Helian Haixin had also thought about this issue. He guessed that the other party might be afraid of jumping over the wall. If they were really pushed into a desperate situation, the other party would not be able to accept that kind of death-defying counterattack.
However, this idea was quickly rejected by himself, because the other party did not push them into a desperate situation at all. They just fought with the escort forces on the periphery and then retreated, and the highest level warriors excluded were just knights. They are only in the Tangtang realm, and this strength is not enough to push them into a desperate situation, so the most likely thing is that the other party is testing them.
"I suspect that the other party is testing our strength."
"Testing?" He Lianjing was a little puzzled by this answer.
"Yes, I guess the other party's real purpose is to test. Judging from the entire battlefield, these raiders are not coming for the goods, but for us."
After saying this, He Lianjing noticed this. Yes, the other party had never attacked the goods on the carriage from beginning to end, but this did not mean that the other party did not pay attention to it. All the carriages were guarded by those green-armored soldiers. What's more, there is a guard on the carriage. Of course, they, the raiders, do not dare to take action rashly without knowing the opponent's strength.
"Father, compared to this, I am more curious about another thing." Helian Haixin whispered.
Seeing that the other party's expression was serious, He Lianjing asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"
Helian Haixin did not speak directly, but transmitted a message in Helianjing's mind:
"Why don't the Tan family guards take action?"
…
To the east, a faint arc of light gradually emerged from the distance, and birdsong chirped in the woods. However, except for Zhao Feng, almost everyone in the camp was asleep and turned a deaf ear to the birdsong.
The lazy young man didn't sleep all night because he was waiting for the figure who sneaked out last night to come back. Sure enough, before dawn, the man returned to the camp silently, and Zhao Feng's soul directly felt the man's location. It was the Qianli Gang.
Just when he was about to go over to investigate further, the guard sitting cross-legged on the carriage suddenly opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the Qianli Gang.
This action surprised Zhao Feng. He didn't expect that the Tan family guard didn't sleep either?
"Since you know that the other party is a mole, why don't you catch him?" The lazy young man became even more confused.
But since the Tan family guards didn't intervene, he naturally wouldn't choose to take the initiative.
"Just wait and see what happens."
Time passed very quickly, and dawn arrived in the blink of an eye. Although everyone in the camp was still a little tired, they had to pack their things and get ready to go.
After a simple preparation, the group headed east again in a mighty way. Not long after they left, a man in black came here. There was a stone standing quietly next to the camp where the Qianli Gang had been.
