Chapter 193 Early Warning

Yulin Zuowei Camp is on the edge of the Wei River, about twenty miles northwest to Chang'an City, next to it is a hill called Xishan.

It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and it is also necessary to build barracks on high slopes, so the terrain is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

And what many people don’t understand is that there is actually a navy in the Qin Imperial Army.

The navy's headquarters is located on the edge of the Wei River.

The Wei River is a tributary of the Yellow River. It flows from west to east and eventually flows into the Yellow River, spreading across the entire Guanzhong. It is the largest and longest river in the Guanzhong water system.

The navy's base is not too far from the Yulin Left Guard. Once the capital changes and the land is blocked, the navy of the Imperial Army can carry the soldiers of the Yulin Left Guard downstream and go straight to the north of Chang'an City.

Li Xu and Song Mu and his group of nearly a hundred people went south along Zhuque Street and then turned to the west, leaving the city from Anping Gate, and galloped northwest for about ten miles.

Then follow the main road and walk for about five or six miles to see the base of the Yulin Zuo Guard.

Brother Song Mu and Liu Jian are usually high-ranking and live in the temple. They rarely have the pleasure of riding lightly in the suburbs like today. Although the weather is hot, they are all very excited and cannot hide their excitement.

However, although the three of them were skilled in riding, they were civil servants who had been sitting in the yamen for a long time. So even if they were interested, they could easily go with them.

"Brother Xu, seeing you riding a horse so easily and freehand, I suddenly had a little interest in talking about the boy's crazy. Why don't we compare?"

Song Mu rode on the horse and challenged Li Xu with a look of eagerness.

Li Xu was amused when he looked at Song Mu's pretending to be provocative.

Sure enough, no matter in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad, men are young until death.

But he is also a young man after all, so he naturally would not refuse to be with the middle-aged uncle and enjoy it.

Just as he was about to agree, his face suddenly became solemn, and his right hand suddenly raised it.

When the guards beside him saw this scene, they immediately stepped forward to protect everyone closely, pulled out their weapons, and looked around vigilantly.

Seeing Li Xu's appearance, Song Mu knew something had happened. The expression of relaxed and excited on his face immediately disappeared, and he casted a look of inquiring at Li Xu.

Li Xu nodded at him first, then shook his head, and finally raised his eyes to look into the woods on both sides of the road ahead.

Although the road ahead is sandwiched between two forests and the terrain is slightly lower than the woodland on both sides, it is really not a dangerous place in the terrain.

Moreover, this section of the road looks like it is only about one mile long. Even if there is really any danger in the forest, you can rush over just by speeding up the horse and charging.

So although everyone was alert, no one thought there would be any danger hidden in such a forest.

And now it is midsummer, and the forest is full of grass and trees. Not to mention looking out of the forest, even if you stand on the edge of the forest, you may not be able to see any movement in the forest.

The reason why Li Xu suddenly stopped warning was because the system map in his mind suddenly flashed.

Since upgrading to the fortress era, Li Xu found that the system also opened the minimap function to him.

Li Xu's sign in the minimap is a blue five-pointed star.

All objects within a radius of one thousand meters with him as the core will be displayed on the minimap.

Large areas of plants show dark green, buildings are black, rivers are light green, creatures that are not hostile to themselves, both humans and animals show gray dots.

However, if someone or animal is murderous within this radius, a small red dot will be displayed on the map.

Naturally, animals will not have murderous intentions towards Li Xu, so this is mainly humans.

At this time, in the small and medium-sized map in Li Xu's mind, there were a large number of red dots gathered together in the forests on both sides of the north and south sides in front of him, motionless.

This is obvious, someone is lying in the woods on both sides.

The obvious goal is to me.

So it’s unclear whether it came for himself or the Song brothers.

But this doesn't matter. Since we are now considered grasshoppers on the same rope, no matter who comes for them, these people will naturally not let others go.

After receiving the system warning, Li Xu carefully observed the forests on both sides of the road and found that something was wrong.

There are no birds singing or insects in the forest. You can even see a group of birds circling over the woods but dare not fall. It is obviously because there are people in the forest that make them feel threatened.

After thinking about it, Li Xu approached Song Mu and said a few words softly, then pointed at the hovering birds and signaled Song Mu to take a look.

When Song Mu heard that there was an ambush in front of him, he said to Li Xu decisively: "Brother Xu, you are the commander general, and everything here is left to you for an opportunity to deal with. If anyone dares to disrespect the order, you can kill it directly."

Li Xu bowed and took the order.

Song Mu was also a courageous person. He suddenly heard that there was danger. Not only did he not panic at all, but he also made a quick decision to hand over all the command to Li Xu.

This courage is worthy of admiration.

Song Yu and Liu Jian also came over at this time. After Li Xu's whispering explanation, they all agreed to obey Li Xu's instructions.

Li Xu was not polite either. He first moved everyone to a gentle slope with a high field of view, and then divided all the guards into three additional floors.

The outermost layer is his own guard, the middlemost layer is Song Mu's guard, and the innermost layer is his own guard.

It seems to be a three-layer guard ring, but in fact it is the escort of Song Mu's guard in the middle.

Song Mu and the other two naturally discovered this, but did not ask.

After all, I just made a statement that I wanted to obey Li Xu's command.

Li Xu took the initiative to go over and explain: "Uncle Song, is your trip temporary decision or has it been made early?"

Song Mu said: "It was decided last night."

After saying that, he immediately understood and whispered: "Does Xu Ge'er suspect that someone in my husband's escort leaked my whereabouts?"

Li Xu nodded and said softly: "It's not a doubt, it's almost certain. Uncle Song, you can check the guards around you first and see who is not here."

Upon hearing this, Song Mu called his guard commander without hesitation, and was also a Song family member, and whispered a few instructions.

After receiving the order, the commander went to find the guards of the Song Mansion. After a while, he came back with a serious expression on his face and reported: "Prince, Tian Guinong is gone. He told the deputy commander that his mother was seriously ill and was eager to go back to see her for the last time. The deputy commander sympathized with his filial piety and let him go home."

When Song Mu heard this, his face remained unchanged and sighed: "As a matter of fact, Brother Xu guessed it. It must be this guy who leaked the news. Brother Xu, let us give you these lives."
