Chapter 38 The art of scouting

After walking out of the bamboo forest, everyone saw a village in front of them.

This village as a whole doesn't look impoverished, but it shouldn't be particularly wealthy either.

There are many small ornaments or decorations made of bamboo, which are worthy of the name of Bamboo Village.

After Li You and his party came out, they asked two villagers and then went to the village chief's house.

The village chief is also a veteran, and he even served as a unit leader before. The people in this village who are over forty years old are basically his former subordinates.

Li You revealed his identity to him, which shocked the village chief. At that time, he planned to kneel down and salute Li You.

Li You quickly helped him up and told him the reason why they came here.

When the village chief heard that the equipment they left behind almost hurt the prince of the dynasty, he was frightened. Without anyone paying attention, he knelt down and said to Li You tremblingly.

:

"Your Highness! The common people were waiting for death, but they almost harmed His Highness's rich body. The common people deserve to die!!!"

Li You stepped forward and helped the village chief up.

He couldn't bear it in his heart. A veteran who had fought for the Tang Dynasty for many years was actually kneeling in front of him because of such a thing. He really didn't know what to do.

At this moment, two young men ran in quickly.

Their footwork is light and it looks like they have some basic Qinggong skills.

"Grandpa, the village chief! Father and the others are back."

Li You looked at the two young men.

When they saw someone inside, they suddenly froze on the spot.

Li You looked at it carefully.

Both of them were dressed in cloth, carrying a sickle on their waists, walking briskly, and they looked to be in their late twenties.

When the village chief saw the two people walking in, his expression changed slightly, but he quickly recovered.

This scene was seen by Li You and Li Zhi at the same time.

[The village chief was nervous just now?]

They both thought at the same time.

The village chief frowned and waved to the two of them.

"You two come in quickly and pay homage to our Prince Yan of the Tang Dynasty!!"

"Ah?" Neither of them obviously expected that Li You would appear here, and they all froze on the spot without taking any action.

The village chief has an old disease on his foot, probably from fighting the enemy during the war.

Seeing that the two of them were so reckless and rude, he knocked on the crutches in his hands and shouted angrily:

"Wang He, Zhao An!!"

"You two grew up in Zhucun, how could you be so rude?"

"Why don't you come and see His Highness!!!"

The village chief's crutch kept tapping the bamboo floor, and the thumping sound caused everyone's thoughts to become a little confused.

Shangguan Zisu reached out to cover his ears, and when he looked at the two young men, he suddenly let out an exclamation.

She found that one of the two people in front of her was someone she had met before in Shangguan Mansion.

It seems that he is a helper who has only been here for one day, or even only for one morning.

Simply help arrange the screen decorations neatly and check that they are correct.

"I've seen you!!"

Shangguan Zisu's voice caught everyone's attention.

Following Shangguan Zisu's gaze, Zhao An's expression had changed.

His pupils shrank, and he secretly thought something bad. He threw away the things in his hands and ran outside quickly.

When Li You saw this, he immediately chased after him, and then shouted loudly:

"Li Zhi!! Protect them!!"

This Zhao An seems to have learned the leaping technique in the military. He has a strong body and fast speed.

There is a position in the army called scout. Scout means degree, which means far and near. Scout is a soldier who conducts reconnaissance and watch.

They carry light equipment and sneak behind enemy lines to reconnoiter the terrain, inquire about news, draw maps, search for water sources, and obtain intelligence. They also prevent the other party's scouts from spying on their own intelligence, and often fight against enemy outposts and sentries.

Therefore, such people not only have extremely high martial arts skills, but are also extremely good at light kung fu.

Their movement skills are definitely not something that ordinary people in the world can catch up with, and there is no such peerless light skill in this world as taking a slight step on the waves and crossing the river with a reed.

They are basically the most powerful people that ordinary people can achieve.

After all, they are here to risk their lives, not to participate in a sports meeting.

Li You gathered all his inner strength and chased after him.

Li You also had to admit that this guy's Qing Gong was really good.

His steps were very orderly and his speed was extremely fast. He was running so fast in the village that all kinds of roadblocks were as if they were nothing.

Naturally, Li You is not a hard worker.

He raised all his internal strength to its peak and quickly performed the Qing Gong taught to him by Lin Chen in his previous life.

The two quickly chased out of the village and came to the bamboo forest.

Although this young man is extremely fast, his endurance is not as high as Li You's when he reaches exhaustion.

The two rushed into the bamboo forest. Zhao An suddenly stopped and slid forward a short distance to steady himself.

Li You also stepped on the bamboo next to him, took a step forward, and stopped steadily.

Zhao An turned his head to look at Li You, breathing heavily.

Li You's face was rosy and he didn't feel tired at all.

Zhao An's eyes were full of fear. She had just heard her village chief grandfather mention that the person in front of her was a royal highness. She suddenly remembered that when she was working as a helper in Shangguan Mansion, she had heard the housekeeper mention that their uncle was a prince.

It was Li You, King of Yan, who once served as an official in Dali Temple and was proficient in all kinds of martial arts.

Since the girl from the Shangguan family was here just now, the prince in front of me must be His Highness Prince Yan.

He cupped his hands and bent down to salute Li You.

"Your Highness King Yan! Can you leave a way for the common people to survive?"

At this time, Zhao An is no longer too lazy to hide anything.

He knew that when he stole the crossbow arrows left by his father and went to assassinate the beast with his good brother, if he didn't take the crossbow arrows back, there was a possibility that someone would find him here.

He was mentally prepared, and the reason why he didn't leave was because he didn't want his grandfather, the village chief, and his parents, who had watched him grow up, to know that he had done such a huge bad thing.

But that beast really deserves to die!!

"Looking at your movements just now, you must be someone who has learned the art of military scouting."

Li You put his hands behind his back and looked at the young man in front of him.

"Yes!" Zhao An nodded and said:

"Everything Cao Min learned was learned from his father. My father once served as a scout in the Tang army. After he retired from the army, he passed on all his knowledge to Cao Min."

"This is how ordinary people have this ability."

"But you used your skills to assassinate the current prince. If I hadn't been there at that time, my fourth brother would have been dead just like the scholar named Li Xian." Li You stared at him,

His eyes were extremely indifferent, as if he had no emotion at all, and his tone was also extremely cold.

"No! Your Highness! The common people have never thought of harming His Highness the King of Wei."
