Chapter 179 Torment
Chapter 179 Torment
That night was dark and deep.
The endless valley was shrouded in silence in the night. The people in ambush dared not move without permission. The enemy was close at hand, so they had to be extremely alert.
The night wind blew gently through the mountains and forests, bringing with it a slightly eerie sound.
A man in black quietly moved his numb limbs and changed his posture.
The long wait and squatting is very painful.
The enemy's scouts went back and did not come over for a long time.
Their scouts went to investigate, and looked from a distance at a previously established stronghold, but did not dare to get too close, as the other team contained extraordinary people.
The scouts came back and said that the enemy had set up camp.
They were eating barbecue, talking and laughing. It looked like they wouldn't be crossing the valley tonight.
The ambushers didn't know whether to breathe a sigh of relief or...
Their behavior is actually the way normal people think.
In the evening, seeing the endless mountain and ancient road ahead, it is normal to stop to rest and pass through it again the next day.
It's not like we're marching to war, so we need to hurry.
However, the people in ambush did not dare to let their guard down, because they were the ones ambushing and attacking, and they also believed in their hearts that there was a possibility that the other side would also launch a sneak attack if they discovered them.
It means that you are a thief and don't think others are good people either.
Knowing that the other side was barbecuing, the people in ambush took the time to eat the remaining rations, which were saved.
Be very careful when eating, and always remember which side of the teeth you use to chew.
You can't use too much strength because there are poison sacs in the teeth. If you accidentally bite them, it would be a bit unfair to die.
Eat your meal slowly and chew thoroughly.
I changed shifts again and went to solve physiological problems.
Fortunately, the trees are lush in this season, there are still many places to go, and my companions are also well-mannered.
You know to dig a hole and bury your stuff, otherwise if someone steps on it, the poison sac in your teeth might burst in anger.
At this time, one more companion means one less enemy, so we need to cherish them.
……
Different from the quiet valley.
On the other side of the camp, people were roasting food around a campfire.
In recent days, every time this time comes, there is laughter and joy, and today is no exception.
The news that Xie Xiao led his men to explore the way was not passed on, and everyone did not know that there was an ambush in the distance.
Today, the White Wolf hunted a blind bear. Except for some that were left above, the rest were distributed.
Some clever ones followed the county lady's example and grilled the other meat skewers together with the blind bear's meat skewers and put green peppers in between.
Let’s not talk about the taste for now. Just say that you ate a blind bear. You can brag about it to your brothers when you go back.
The people below were laughing and talking.
The people up there live in a quiet corner, away from the noisy crowd.
Although the topic they were discussing sounded a bit heavy, from a distance, there was nothing unusual to see.
The Fourth Prince, Prince Xie, and the two adults were all grilling their own meat.
The county lady was in charge of eating, while the white wolf and her cat lay quietly on the side, and the years were peaceful.
Now everyone has given up the question of how to outsmart the enemy and started discussing who the ambushers are.
By the way, this also brings up the question of who the other party's main target is.
Minister Lin and Censor Li both agreed that at least they were innocent.
Who has the energy and the energy to go to such great lengths to deal with two people whose bodies are half buried in the ground?
There's no need for that at all.
Speaking of big money, Xie Xiao looked at Lu Liang who was concentrating on grilling meat. He first met him in Xilin County, when he was just a scholar with some talent.
Who could have thought that he would appear in front of the palace in the capital one day and then become the fourth prince of the dynasty.
Thinking back to the ambush in the canyon and his understanding of that man, it was not difficult to guess what happened today.
Xie Xiao shifted his gaze to Li Jiaojiao. The woman was like a sated little animal, half leaning on the white wolf's back, still scratching the cat with her hand.
Everything that happened in Yuncheng finally pushed her to the forefront.
And all of this was also fueled by his impulsive protection.
Xie Xiao lowered his eyes for a while, then said softly, "After nightfall, I will lead a surprise attack."
After he said that, he glanced at Li Jiaojiao, then looked back at the skewer of meat in his hand.
It was well roasted, with a nice burnt aroma...
"It's a good idea to strike first and gain the upper hand." Lu Ying agreed, and then asked, "But the enemy wants our lives now. How will Master Xie use a surprise attack?"
The two men's eyes met across the flames.
Xie Xiao turned his gaze to Li Jiaojiao: "Jiaojiao, do you have any poison with you?"
Li Jiaojiao had been listening to their conversation. Before she could reply, someone else spoke first: "Mo Xie."
Lu Ying called out, and Mo Xie appeared beside him in an instant: "Master."
"Give the poison to Master Xie."
"Yes." Mo Xie reached into her bosom, and a red jade bottle appeared in her hand, "Thank you, Master."
The red jade bottle was thrown through the air and was held by fair fingers. "Thank you."
The two old foxes, Minister Lin and Censor Li, looked at each other.
I originally thought that the Fourth Prince and Prince Xie were young and energetic, and would face the enemy head-on and lead their men to kill them.
Even if it is a sneak attack, we have to lead people to sneak over quietly. But in that case, the casualties will definitely be too high and we will suffer many casualties.
did not expect……
Tut tut...
Aren’t royal children the ones who care most about their appearance?
The eldest prince's reputation was built up with many layers of gold and jade, and he had established himself as a filial and virtuous man for many years.
Unexpectedly, the returning Fourth Prince is such a black-hearted person.
There is also Master Xie. His father was a fierce general on the battlefield and he fought many battles.
How come the son I gave birth to is also a sinister person?
Hey……
The old fox breathed a sigh of relief, and they felt relieved.
I’m afraid that young people don’t know how to be roundabout.
Who hasn’t been young?
Minister Lin's mouth widened with satisfaction, and he suddenly turned to look at the old man Li beside him.
That's not right, isn't this thing a notorious stinky stone that doesn't know how to go around???
"Are you going to poison? I'm good at martial arts and I'm great at using poison, so I can go." Li Jiaojiao signed up enthusiastically.
If someone were to be sent to poison, she would really be the best candidate.
She didn't have to go there in person, she could just find a corner and squat down, and then use her supernatural powers to control the plants to help her poison.
"You can't go on such a dangerous trip." Lu Liang and Xie Xiao said at the same time.
Li Jiaojiao wants to fight for it again.
As a result, Lu Liang beside him spoke first: "The wind direction will change in the second half of the night, then we can use fire attack, just put the poison in the fire."
"Our people will also need to go in by then. I'll leave the antidote to you."
Li Jiaojiao: …Isn’t it just a matter of one Baijie Pill for each person and one mask for each person?
"...Then I won't go. Let Xiaolang and Ahri go. One will set the fire and the other will throw poison. You just lead the people to catch fish."
If you don’t want to go, then don’t go. Just take care of the logistics issues.
Besides, even if she doesn’t go, her supernatural powers can go.
Up to now, no one knows about her supernatural powers. The most Lu Liang knows is that she can save people...
I wonder if one day, when thousands of vines appear on her body, he will mistake her for a tree demon?
Beside them, Ahri and the little wolf raised their heads at the same time and looked at their master: ...there is love, but not much.
Meow meow meow...
Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch...
Minister Lin and Censor Li looked at each other again, and there was still another black-hearted person.
Then they turned their eyes away from each other. Humph! They hid it well enough!
