Shu Blossoms

Chapter 307
Liao Wennan stared at her for a while, and suddenly had a feeling. He raised his eyes to look for her, and it was Han Daoyuan who opened his eyes and looked at her. His eyes were full of warning. She shrank her neck involuntarily, and was about to retreat quietly.

Before she left, she saw that the people inside who had fallen on the ground had all stood up, and surrounded the two thieves inside calmly.

Liao Wennan knew that Han Daoyuan would not be in danger, so she left with confidence. On the way back, she felt more and more that something was wrong. She turned around and looked at the coach's tent. She still couldn't figure it out and had to go back to her own residence.

Sanping was already helping to pack her bags. Seeing her come back, she hurriedly said, "My lord, the army is going to enter South Vietnam today! Shall we follow?"

Are you still following?Liao Wennan's heart became more and more confused, and he always felt that there was something she had overlooked, so he sat aside and remained silent!
Seeing that she didn't speak or bother her, Sanping went to work!
After a long time, Liao Wennan stood up suddenly and shouted, "No!"

Sanping was surprised: "Master, what's wrong?"

"It seems to be too smooth? No, it should be that the plan of those two people is too rough, so rough that people can see through it at a glance, but now everyone is still proceeding according to their plan. We feel that we are the squirrel , what if it’s just a praying mantis catching cicadas?”

Sanping thought for a while, and then his heart skipped a beat, "Then who would be the oriole? We passed out for so long just now, and those people didn't show up with such a good chance. Could it be that we were thinking too much?"

Liao Wennan shook his head, "Whether it's poisoning or we pretending to be poisoned, it's just a temptation. It's too simple, and anyone with a discerning eye can understand it immediately. If we can understand it, the other party will naturally understand it too!"

"What I don't understand is why these two people threw themselves into a snare to steal things from the coach's tent? Not to mention those two ordinary people who don't know how to fight, even those wanderers who come and go, they can't steal things from Han Daoyuan Get out of your body. Can ordinary people have the guts?"

"Those two people have already left, why did they come back? What's the purpose?" Sanping also pondered.

Liao Wennan thought for a while, and said to Sanping: "Go and find out, how did the general deal with those two people?"

Sanping nodded, put down the things in his hand and went.

Sanping came back soon, and shook his head at her, "Deputy General Shi kept his mouth shut, and even warned the little one not to inquire."

At this time, the messenger also came to deliver the order, "The army is moving out!"

Liao Wennan stood among the soldiers, surrounded by people. She didn't know how many people there were, so she whispered to Sanping, "Walk slowly for a while, and pay attention to the approximate number of people here."

Although Sanping was puzzled but did not refute, he nodded and went to do it.

Liao Wennan himself was not at ease, so he quickened his pace and walked forward, wanting to get closer to Han Daoyuan, so that he could adapt to the situation when the time came.

They began to walk into the dense forest of South Vietnam. It seemed that there were local people leading the way. After walking for half a day, although they encountered poisonous insects and the like along the way, they had no major dangers. They soon entered the depths of the dense forest, beside Liao Wennan. Although the soldiers looked tired, the vigilance in their eyes gradually weakened, while Liao Wennan's brows became tighter and tighter.

Sanping finally caught up and whispered in her ear: "I roughly estimated that the army has a total of more than [-] people."

"Didn't General Han say that he led 10 people to march south? Why are there so many people?"

This is the doubt in Sanping's heart, and it is also Liao Wennan's.

Although the small South Vietnam will not send 10 people to counter the rebellion, but it can't be only 3, so where did the rest go?

As for Han Daoyuan, who was at the front of the line, looking at the peaceful forest around him, the simple map sent by his son flashed through his mind, and he also frowned slightly.

In this kind of place, their army has no advantage at all. If the enemy sets up an ambush in advance, even if they are prepared in advance, they will still suffer heavy losses.

But they walked all the way calmly, without any sign of an ambush, but the more this happened, the more uneasy he felt!

He remembered that Da Lang once said in his heart that he could not trust anyone, and he must not use any local people, even a child.

He turned his head to look at the man and woman next to him, and couldn't help but wonder whether he had made a mistake even though he had made all the arrangements.

Deputy General Shi said at this time, "General, the soldiers have been walking for almost a day, do you have to stop to rest and eat some dry food?"

Han Daoyuan thought for a while and said, "Go and ask them if there is any suitable place for camping nearby. If there is, let everyone work hard and find a place to camp before dark. It's too dangerous to run around in the forest like this."

Deputy General Shi came back soon, bringing the couple with him. The man bowed and flattered: "Axiu's village is in front of them. Would you like to camp near the village?"

Han Daoyuan was noncommittal, and asked instead, "How far is this place from the Nanman King's City?"

The man raised his hand and pointed without thinking, "Cross the mountain in front of you, and you will be able to see the royal city after walking about five miles. If you look for our footsteps, it will be after tomorrow."

Han Daoyuan looked at the smile on his face, his pupils shrank, but his face remained calm, "There are many soldiers, going to the village will scare them rashly, let's find a spacious place to camp!"

The man nodded again and again, and pointed to the creek on the east side, "There is a valley in front, and this creek flows down from there. The two sides of the creek are wide enough, which should be enough for big guys to rest."

Han Daoyuan thought for a while and told Shitou, "You are the same." He seemed to have forgotten what the man's name was, so he turned around and asked him, "Your name is Du."

"Villain Du Shen!" the man hurriedly said.

"Take a few people and Du Shen to the valley to have a look. If it's suitable, the army will rest there overnight."

After Deputy General Shi took Du Shen away, Axiu became a little uneasy, with a anxious expression on her face, looking towards Han Daoyuan from time to time, as if hesitant to speak.

The army walked a little further. Seeing that they were getting closer to the valley, Axiu seemed to have made up her mind and walked towards Han Daoyuan.

Liao Wennan, who was hiding not far away, saw Axiu kneeling in front of Han Daoyuan, gesticulating and talking, but no one could understand what she said.

Seeing that everyone looked confused, Axiu hurriedly patted the ground with her hands. Han Daoyuan thought for a while and said to the military adviser: "The two people in our army who understand Miao language come here, and listen to what she said!"

Before the expedition, Han Daoyuan asked the military adviser to find out all the soldiers from Xiangzhou in the army, and there really were a few who knew some Miao language.

Although they are Han Chinese, they are close to the Miao people in Xiangxi and have come and gone.

The two soldiers were a little surprised when they heard Axiu's words, and replied to Han Daoyuan: "Axiu said that Du Kun is not her husband, but a bad person!"

As soon as the words came out, everyone was surprised, Han Daoyuan looked at Axiu carefully and said in a deep voice, "Tell me the truth!"

From Axiu's words, we know that Du Shen came from the city of the Nanman king, but although he is not from the Nanman king, he has a warrant from the Nanman king, ordering all the people in their village to obey him.

"Du Shen ordered the patriarch to confiscate all the lamp oil in the village and let them be wiped on the trees near the valley in front. As soon as your army enters, this forest will turn into a sea of ​​flames."

After Axiu finished speaking, the two soldiers changed their sentences into Chinese.

"The patriarch disagrees. All the people in our village depend on this mountain forest for their livelihood, and our village is just downwind. If we burn the forest, our village will be destroyed!"
