Chapter 718 Intercept
At night.
There is darkness between heaven and earth.
The flames of cooking had already been extinguished, but no new bonfires were raised in the army, because in the evening there were already people in the army who saw that it was wrong and realized it was going to rain, so they prepared early.
Sure enough, after setting up camp, it was raining heavily.
During these days, when you walk along the way, the better times will be to live in the city, and you will have no worries about food and accommodation. Most of the time, you will be greedy for convenience and sleep in the wilderness, so that you can set off tomorrow.
There are fewer camps when setting up camps like this.
At this late at night, most people had already started to rest, and only a few were on guard.
In fact, for these 200 elite soldiers, they were extremely puzzled. They had no idea why this trip was... They were even ready to fight bloody battles and were ordered to fight, but they did not expect to travel all the way, but the weather was calm. Now they were going back to the direction of the capital, which was really strange.
Although some people vaguely noticed something strange, they were just soldiers after all. They just had to obey orders and did not need to think too much about what the above plan was, they were just a sharp blade.
"It's more than a thousand miles away from the capital."
Ye Du said: "Although for some reason, sir asked us to go around the air, sir must have a deep meaning in his actions. He should not slack off before returning to the capital."
Both of them nodded.
At this moment, the violent sound of rain outside suddenly became much smaller.
"Two hundred elite soldiers must be covered up and cannot return to the capital directly, so someone will be able to pick us up three hundred miles outside the capital."
Ye Du said: "But I vaguely notice something is wrong, and you two need to be careful."
...
A blessed land in the cave.
Since Qingyuan sent the nine divine talismans out of the Cave Heaven and Blessing Land, he has no other thoughts.
Although he still had many conspiracies and plans in his mind, all his thoughts were based on these nine divine talismans.
If the nine divine talismans are missing, then many thoughts are just fantasies.
"This Ye Du is a craftable material."
Qingyuan thought this way, with a little thoughtful expression. After observing this person for a while, he could detect that there was a hint of unwillingness, a hint of resentment, and anger in the depths of Ye Du's eyes.
I think this is also a person with a story.
Perhaps he can also buy it as another trick for him in Liang State.
But this matter is not important. What's more important is that Ye Du seems to have encountered some changes.
"Change!"
Qingyuan waved his hand and saw a large area of darkness appearing in the ancient mirror.
It was a forest under the night, dark and dull, with drizzling drizzle.
All the flowers, plants and trees are wet.
Under the land, there is mud.
Qingyuan Night can see things, and you can take everything between the mountains and forests into your eyes.
Everyone in the mountains was manifested in the ancient mirror.
In addition to Ye Du and others, there are another group of people.
Qingyuan is more familiar with the person in charge.
"It's true that I'm not very at ease."
Qingyuan frowned slightly, and was in deep thought.
...
early morning.
The rain stopped.
What I saw was the leaves, grass leaves, and petals full of crystal water droplets.
The air is fresh and the scenery is clear, making it look quite beautiful.
But these soldiers in the army obviously did not have the mood to enjoy the scenery. When the time came, they hurriedly got up and were about to wear it and set off.
However, at this moment, with a shout.
A soothing sound!
More than ten arrows broke through the air, and a few people immediately fell to the ground by arrows.
The sudden change caused everyone to be in amazement. Many soldiers who had just woken up and were still in a daze immediately... After all, they were elite soldiers from all kinds of battles. After all, they were elite soldiers in a hundred battles. When they noticed the changes, they quickly formed a formation to defend themselves.
Ye Du ordered the two of them to protect the rosewood box, then drew their swords and shouted, "Who is the character?"
The sound echoed among the mountains, and it sounded again and again.
There was no response, only the soldier who was injured in an arrow just now gritted his teeth.
With Ye Du's martial arts attainments, no one even noticed the enemy.
The people in the army also did not notice anything.
This made everyone feel awe-inspiring.
If the injured soldiers were not rolling on the ground, if the dead soldiers were not lying quietly on the ground, they would even think that it was just an illusion.
"Oh no..."
Ye Duxin sank.
Since more than ten arrows were fired at once, the number of opponents must be quite large, but now his martial arts attainments cannot be discovered, which means... the opponent is definitely not an ordinary person.
How could there be such a group of people?
Ye Du felt awe-inspiring in his heart, and with a glance between his eyebrows, he found that there were only more than 120 elites gathered here... He was shocked and felt incredible.
On the edge of the few places, the soldiers' tents were not moving yet.
Ye Du knew in his heart that dozens of people had been secretly wiped out last night, without even a single sound.
Now the other party has not appeared or spoke, but just quietly remained silent, which has cast a layer of haze for everyone.
"Leader Ye."
The veteran who was temporarily serving as a centurion came forward and whispered: "It is not a solution to continue like this. Are you scattered and searched?"
Ye Du shook his head slightly and said, "The other party may not have many people, but they are all good players. It is not easy to attack, and it is easier to cause trouble if they disperse. Now they obviously want to attack their hearts, disintegrate our morale, and make us gradually feel fearful in the deadly crisis..."
Before his words fell, Ye Du shouted softly: "Be careful!"
He pulled the veteran away and slashed it down with one knife.
An arrow was cut off by him to the ground.
"The bow that shoots the arrow is a strong bow of twenty stones?"
Ye Du whispered: "Retreat!"
...
More than a hundred people hurried away, losing food and grass, tents, and only taking out armor and weapons, and fled in a hurry.
These elite soldiers have experienced many battles and have been bloody many times. They are all passionate people. Now that their companions are attacked and killed, they have retreated without fighting before searching. They can't help but feel angry.
But Ye Du's order cannot be violated.
After Ye Du and others gradually left, more than 30 Taoist figures gradually emerged. Their hidden means were really unpredictable among ordinary people.
"Let's bury these people."
The leader sighed and said, "On the battlefield, they are also considered robes... After all, they all act according to orders."
The land that had rained was muddy.
The dead people were bleeding in the mud, and the people who were alive half a quarter of an hour ago now had no rebirth, and they would quietly turn into a white bone in the near future.
"Do you want to chase?" someone asked.
"Wait a minute." said the leader.
"If it weren't for the limited arrows, it would be great to keep firing cold arrows or continue assassination last night." The man asked the question just now and touched the bow in his hand, showing a little smile.
"Idiot." The person in charge scolded: "It was already the second half of the night when we arrived last night. We killed half of them in the rain to cover up the smell of blood. Do you still want to be greedy? Have you forgotten what the general has been teaching?"
"I understand..." Another man smiled bitterly, "If I hadn't remembered, how could he have removed before dawn yesterday?"
"The leader has good martial arts skills and knows how to advance and retreat. He has not made any progress or search. This is also good... Otherwise, if we take action head-on, we will inevitably lose our manpower."
The man in the lead whispered: "But I'm afraid this person will have discovered our identity long ago."
"How could it be?" the man said in surprise just now.
"Overyone must fight back when attacked, but he is so cautious, most of the reason why he knows how powerful we are." The leader sneered: "What army in the world, besides us, has such powerful ability? This person thinks he has seen the clues... But no matter what, as long as he is not a great master of martial arts, he can't escape."
The morning air was stained with a bloody smell.
