Chapter 164 Chapter 5 Mysterious Enemy

When the hunters came back from Xishou Mountain that night, Xiang Shaolong led Ji Yanran, Zhao Zhi, and the Eighteen Iron Guards to the Qin-Chu border to join Teng Yi in a hurry. Ever since Zhao Qian, Chun Ying and others were attacked and killed, he had never tried to feel more relaxed and comfortable than now.Mo Ao is dead, Xiao Pan has the full support of the military, and his power has flourished.Zhu Ji began to have problems with Lu Buwei because of her relationship with Lao Ai.With all these changes in the situation, I can probably live a somewhat comfortable life. But there is a lingering shadow in my heart.Before going out on the road with Zhao Qian and others that day, they never thought that they would encounter danger, but the nightmare came suddenly, and it was not until this night that Lu Buwei was severely hit that he finally recovered his breath.For the unpredictable fate, he became a frightened bird.

He followed the route he had set with Teng Yi earlier, and traveled day and night. Seven days later, he crossed the Eastern Ridge, and the terrain began to level up. That night, he camped by a small river and started a fire. I don't know why the leader Shaolong is always in a restless mood, and he can't get excited about the game that Wu Yanzhuo, Jing Shan and other iron guards have brought back. Ji Yanran asked in surprise, "Is Xiang Lang worried?" Zhao Zhi smiled and said, "Are you hanging on Fangmei and Bao'er?" Staring at the burning flames, Xiang Shaolong said in a deep voice: "No, I just have a very restless feeling, in fact, this feeling has existed since I left Xianyang, but it's especially strong tonight. "

Ji Yanran's face changed: "Xiang Lang is very human, if he feels this way, something extraordinary will happen." Turning to Wu Shu who was grilling the hunt around another campfire, he said, "Did you hear that?" Jing Shan stood up and said, "Let's investigate immediately." All the iron guards believed that Xiang Shaolong was like a god, and after hearing what he said, why didn't they raise their vigilance and split up. After the iron guards left, Zhao Zhi was surprised and said: "Accordingly, no one would follow us to plot wrongdoing, especially the people from Lu Buwei's side are all under the surveillance of Xiao Jun and the imperial guards, so it is quite difficult to move their fingers. It's very incomprehensible."

Ji Yanran said softly: "The feeling in Xiang Lang's heart, could it be caused by other things? Because it seems that no one will follow us!" Xiang Shaolong smiled wryly and said, "I'm not that capable yet. I can sense what happened elsewhere. It's just that I've been in a dangerous situation for many years, so I'm particularly sensitive to whether there's an ambush or being followed. Well, we will soon know the answer, Jing Shan's nose is stronger than a hunting dog." Zhao Zhi snuggled into his arms a little weakly, and said in a low voice, "I'm a little scared!"

Knowing that she remembered the tragic death of Zhao Qian and others that day, Xiang Shaolong felt great compassion, put his arms around her fragrant shoulders and said, "With me here, I will never let anyone hurt even a single hair of mine." Ji Yanran looked up at the night sky, and said softly: "If someone is really following us, it makes sense that Xiang Lang feels particularly uneasy tonight, because the terrain here is relatively flat, and..." "what!" A scream shattered the tranquility of the star field in the wilderness, and further confirmed that Xiang Shaolong's worries were superfluous.

Zhao Zhi turned pale and said, "Isn't this the voice of Wu Da?" Wu Da is one of the Eighteen Iron Guards, he is extremely clever and agile, if he is attacked so easily, then the enemy is either extremely skilled or has a very clever arrangement. Xiang Shaolong and the two girls jumped up, each went to fetch arrows and weapons and untie the tied horses. But he didn't dare to extinguish the bonfire, otherwise he would lose contact with the other iron guards. The burning flame seemed to tell them powerfully of the impending danger, because they had become the target of the enemy's attack.

Until this moment, they still knew nothing about the enemy, and they were completely clueless. At this time Jing Shan and the others came back in a hurry, everyone's faces were full of grief and anger, Wu Da was carried on Wu Yan's back, and he was shot by two arrows, one on the back and one on the side, his body was covered in blood, and he was as angry as gossamer. Zhao Zhi was so excited that he shed tears when he saw that Wu Da, who was originally a lively dragon and tiger, changed his appearance. Wu Shu was about to go over and put out the bonfire, but Xiang Shaolong stopped him and said, "Yanran will stop Wu Da's bleeding first, and cut off the shaft of the arrow, but don't move the cluster of arrows."

Ji Yanran didn't wait for his orders, and started to rescue her early. Wu Yan waited for Tie Weijun and Wu Da to feel like brothers, their eyes were red, and they were breathing flames of hatred. Xiang Shaolong knew that this was a matter of life and death, so he must not be careless, and asked calmly: "Who is here? What is the arrangement? How could Wu Da be injured?" All eyes were on Wu Yanzhuo, obviously he and Wu Da were on the same team, while the others hadn't met their enemies yet. Wu Yan took a deep breath, suppressed his sadness and said, "Wu Da and I went to the east, and when we wanted to climb to the top of a hill and look down, the cold arrow came."

As soon as Xiang Shaolong heard this, his heart beat faster. The road to the east is the way to the state of Chu. In this way, the mysterious enemy in front of him should have completed encircling them.But now it's pitch black, forgive the enemy for not daring to act rashly before dawn.But at dawn, it will be their end. Zhao Zhi suddenly burst into tears, everyone knew something was wrong, looked at Wu Da who was lying on the ground, he really had passed away. Xiang Shaolong's heart moved, he stopped the guards who were about to rush over, and said coldly: "Let me do my best!"

At the same time, I remembered the emergency methods learned in the 21st century. This Wu Da has always been strong and strong, and the sharp arrow did not hurt his vitals, but at this moment he suddenly choked, probably because of excessive blood loss, the heart became weak and lost its function for a while, it may not be impossible to save it. Immediately, someone laid him flat, beat and pressed his heart rhythmically with his hands. After a few moments, Uda was shocked and started to breathe again. His heart resumed beating, and artificial respiration was avoided. Ji Yanran and the others stared at each other, unable to believe the facts in front of them, and even forgot the cheers for a while.

Xiang Shaolong took out the dagger and said to Wu Da: "Don't sleep, otherwise you will die." Ruthless, he pulled out the arrow cluster, and Ji Yanran immediately applied hemostatic medicine on him. Xiang Shaolong stood up abruptly and ordered everyone to cut down tree trunks to make a stretcher bed. When Wu Shu saw that he could even revive the dead, Wu Shu's confidence was greatly increased. He regarded him as a god, and his morale was boosted. After Ji Yanran and Zhao Zhi bandaged Uda properly, they came to Xiang Shaolong's side. The latter said in admiration, "My lord is really amazing, even the dead can be revived." Ji Yanran said: "I'm no stranger to our husband's endless abilities." Looking around the dark forest and wilderness with her beautiful eyes, she whispered: "We have been neglecting one person! Can Xiang Lang guess who it is?" At this time Xiang Shaolong was struggling to think of a way to escape, he thought for a while after hearing this, and blurted out: "Du Bi!" Zhao Zhi cried out with an "ah". Ji Yanran said: "It's this person, this time Lord Gaoling's men and horses can come to make trouble without anyone noticing, there must be this person's strong support behind them." Xiang Shaolong suddenly said: "I understand, he is just watching from the sidelines, if Lord Gao Ling succeeds, he will come out to fish in troubled waters. But now he thinks that I am really ordered to investigate people who have a collusion with Lord Gao Ling, so he takes the opportunity Hanging our tails, looking for opportunities to kill us." Ji Yanran sighed softly: "Because we never thought about Du Bi's people, we were careless and got stuck in the field before us. But it can also be seen from this that there shouldn't be too many people following us this time, but But none of them are masters.” Zhao Zhi's face was pale, bit his lip and said: "It will be dawn in more than two hours, what should we do?" At this time, Wu Yanzhu, Jing Shan and the others had finished the stretcher, put Wu Da on it, and were waiting for Xiang Shaolong's order. Xiang Shaolong leaned over and kissed Ji Yanran's cheek, and said happily, "Just one word from Yanran saved all of us." Then he said to the crowd: "The reason why the enemy wants to shoot Wu Da this time is because they don't have many people and can't completely seal off the entire mountain forest, so they want to show off their power so that we don't dare to escape." Everyone heard Jing Shen cheer up, but Xuan felt slumped again, now the surroundings are completely dark, which is not conducive to the enemy's attack, nor is it conducive to their escape, because no one can clearly see the direction of the road. Xiang Shaolong said in a deep voice: "If the enemy wants to stop us with limited forces, they must occupy the high ground to control them. We will ford along the stream and slip away from the low ground. We are not afraid of getting lost, and we can also use the high mud mounds on both sides of the stream. Dodge the enemy's arrows." Then he smiled slightly and said: "If there is no light, how can there be any guideline when shooting arrows blindly?" ◇◇◇◇◇◇ The people led the horses, waded through the waist-deep stream, and walked slowly. Under such harsh circumstances, it shows that the strict military training in the past few years has not been in vain. Especially in order to deceive people, 80% of the Wujia Elite Corps' training camps are conducted in the dark at night, so wading through water like this is just a very childish thing. What was even more rare was that the more than twenty war horses followed the masters to escape obediently without making a sound. Standing in front were Wu Shu and Jing Shan who were holding high wooden shields. The latter was best at walking in the mountains at night, so it was most appropriate for him to explore the way. Two other people were in charge of transporting the seriously injured Wu Da, one was leading the horse, and the others, including Ji Yanran and Zhao Zhi, were holding crossbow bolts. If there was any slight movement anywhere, they would immediately switch the motors without mercy. After sneaking for more than ten miles without any surprises and without making a fuss, everyone knew that the critical moment was coming, and they raised their vigilance to the limit. Fortunately, the terrain slopes slightly downwards, and the stream is higher and lower, and the gurgling of the flowing water covers up the sound of their wading. The surrounding forests are dense, and although stars can be seen on the tops of the trees, the stream is still dark, and the smell of soil and rotting leaves beside the stream fills the air. Jing Shan led the crowd forward slowly with his sharp sense like a beast. After walking for more than ten steps, the bed of the stream sank, and the two sides of the bank grew together, and the earth cliff was more than ten feet above the water. The forest here is denser, and there is no starlight, which makes people feel blind, and people can only move by hearing and feeling. At this moment, a strong cough sounded near the left bank.Everyone stopped in fright and raised their guard.Although they had always been mentally prepared to encounter the enemy, they never expected it to happen so suddenly, without any warning beforehand. In this sunken terrain, if the enemy launched a random arrow attack from a high position, none of them would be able to leave alive.At this time, as long as one of the horses neighed softly, everyone would be over. Fortunately, they can't see the enemy now, and the enemy can't see them. Another voice sounded from the right, cursed a few words before saying: "Do you want to scare people to death? Cough out all the wandering ghosts." Another person from the left bank smiled and said: "You are all frightened by Xiang Shaolong, you are worried all the time, in my opinion, after I shot his person down, he will not dare to run around again in the sky , not to mention that we have planted ropes in the main places, and we have not spared the waterways." Everyone in the river who didn't dare to move was sweating profusely and shouted how dangerous it was. Jing Shan took advantage of the best moment when the enemy on the shore was whispering and distracted, and handed the wooden shield to Wu Shu. He pulled out his dagger and went forward, cutting off three horse ropes in a row, clearing away all obstacles. Just as he was about to continue sneaking, the sound of footsteps came from the forest on the left. After a while, the enemy's messenger soldiers arrived and said: "Master Bai has an order. At dawn, he will immediately attack according to the route set earlier. Whoever can cut off Xiang Shaolong's head will be rewarded with 500 gold, and whoever captures Ji's talented woman alive will be rewarded with 1,000 gold." ,understand?" Everyone in the creek was stunned when they heard this, they didn't expect that Ji Yanran's body was twice as valuable as Xiang Shaolong's head.But at this moment, there is no mood to care about social status with the enemy. With Jing Shan leading the way, everyone drifted further and further away. At dawn, everyone was two miles away from the dangerous situation.They climbed to the top of a hill and watched the enemy from afar.Uda's condition has stabilized, making everyone feel better.The iron guards scattered in all directions, and Jing Shan and others climbed to the top of the tree to broaden their horizons. At the foot of the mountain, there are boundless grasslands, vast forests and seas, rivers hidden in the grass waves, and flocks of birds flying across the sky in this beautiful spring moment, forming a lively and vivid picture of nature. Xiang Shaolong and his two beautiful wives were lying behind a big rock, sighing to himself that even though the beautiful scenery was in front of them, there was no time to enjoy it, Ji Yanran whispered in his ear: "Didn't the enemy mention that their leader was named Bai last night?" Is it true? There is a man named Bai Fei in Du Bi's family. He is quite famous in the Qin State. He was originally a horse thief in the north, but because he offended the Hun King, he later joined Du Bi. This man is quite famous in the Qin State. , who is best at tracking and sneaking attacks, if this person is the real one, we will be in danger." Xiang Shaolong was surprised: "Why is Yanran so familiar with Du Bi's people?" Ji Yanran kissed him on the cheek lightly, and said softly: "Does anyone care about you! You have no time to do things, so you have to let your wife do it for you. Don't look at my sister's seclusion, in fact she is very concerned about everything at home and abroad. , Du Bi's matter came back from her inquiry." Xiang Shaolong stared intently at the place where Zye Ye camped, and said in a deep voice: "If that's the case, we will have a chance to plot against Bai Fei, as long as we see who leads the way to chase after him, that person must be this gentleman, so we have the opportunity to give it a chance. He comes to remember the cold arrow, and will remove all our troubles." ◇◇◇◇◇◇ When the sun revealed its beautiful face on the eastern horizon, there were voices of people and horses neighing in the distance, and about five hundred enemies were divided into five groups, crossing the forest and crossing to cover them. The leading group had the smallest number of people, only about 50 people, but they acted quickly.What is even more amazing is that they only stopped for half a cup of hot tea where Xiang Shaolong and the others landed on Shexi Creek, and they followed the exact route they had taken, which made them feel chills in their hearts. However, since Bai Fei is a good-looking person among the horse thieves, it is not surprising that he has this ability. What Ji Yanran is holding is a special crossbow, and the arrow must be stepped on with her feet, and the shooting range can reach a thousand steps. Now that she is condescending, the shooting range has naturally increased significantly. Since Bai Fei will lead the way, as long as he sees who is walking in the front, he will know who to give the arrow to. Seeing the enemy approaching from far away, everyone's heart was lifted to the throat, and it was difficult to breathe. If you can't shoot Bai Fei, because the opponents are great experts in pursuit, the number of them is more than 20 times, all of them are highly skilled, and because they have the burden of Uda, the situation is so dangerous, even the most unimaginative people can do it. Think of the dire situation you are facing. With a distance of more than two miles, Bai Fei only stopped for three times, and then went straight into the shooting range, but because of the obstruction of the trees, he never had a chance to shoot the arrow. This Bai Fei is also a very special character, he always walks through places covered by trees, making it difficult for people to find good opportunities to strike.It can be seen that a murderous person like Bai Fei has his own set of skills to survive to this day. At this moment, Bai Fei had just arrived in front of a sparse forest, Ji Yanran hesitated and hurriedly triggered the trigger.Unexpectedly, at the same time as the machine gun made a sound, Bai Fei had turned over to avoid it, and the crossbow arrows flew across the horse's back and pierced into the grass. The machine rings continuously. Wu Yan waited for the crossbow arrows of all the iron guards to throw like locusts, and Bai Fei's mount was hit by the arrow and fell to the ground immediately, but Bai Fei was nowhere to be seen.Only then did he realize that Bai Fei's ears were as powerful as his eyes and nose. The enemy was in a state of confusion, jumped off their horses one after another, and scattered to hide. Xiang Shaolong sighed in his heart.The days ahead will be a cat-and-mouse struggle.If one is not good, it will be planted in this uninhabited wilderness.
