Chapter 104 103 [Choice]

"sixth."

Qin Xian dragged the body of a bandit into the grass, and said softly.

Pei Yue sat on a rock next to him, looking at the three giant trees arranged in a zigzag shape in front of him, with a slightly dignified expression.

Although they also started from Chenguan Town, the route they chose was quite different from Xiying, upstream from Qishui in the south into the Hengduan Mountains.Yesterday's journey was fairly quiet, and we didn't meet bandit spies, but today's situation is completely different. After setting off early in the morning, we have encountered several bandits one after another.

Pei Yue was very glad that he had invited Qin Xian to come here. If it wasn't for this elder brother who was well educated and good at scouting, they would have been almost spotted by thieves several times and warned them.

"Brother Yue, what should we do next?" Qin Xian asked.

Pei Yue pondered and said: "Brother, please take Brother Twenty to go to the front to investigate. Pass through the canyon behind the tree, and then go a few miles to the thief's lair. I will wait here for Commander Li and most of the officers. arrival."

Qin Xian nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go now."

Pei Yue warned: "Brother, don't expose it. You only need to check the general situation of the thief's lair. After you come back, we will discuss it with Commander Li."

"Okay, I'll be careful."

Qin Xian led the people to walk behind the giant tree, while Pei Yue sent people to convey the message to the back.

After more than half an hour, Qin Xian turned back smoothly, but his face was not very good-looking.

Seeing this, Pei Yue stepped forward and asked, "Brother, what happened?"

Qin Xian first saluted Li, the commander who was waiting here together, and then said in bewilderment: "Brother Yue, after passing through that canyon, there is indeed a not-so-high mountain. We approached carefully and found that there should be The lair of thieves. There is a large flat land at the foot of the mountain, which has been reclaimed like farmland, and there are many wooden houses built nearby. But we didn’t see anyone, and after approaching, we found that there was not a single thief from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain.”

Li Jin frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "Could it be that the thief has already found us, so he escaped early?"

This sentence made the faces of the sentry officers around them a little ugly.

They tried their best to sneak all the way, and they wore such weird costumes, didn't they just want to kill the bandits like magic soldiers descended from heaven?
From the emperor to Wang Pingzhang, what they want is to wipe out the bandits. The reason why they have not sent troops into the mountains is because they are worried that the bandits will flee.

Fortunately, Li Jin was originally the commander of Yanshan Guard, and he was a very trusted general of Gu Liang in the South Camp. With him sitting here, no one else dared to make a fuss.

Qin Xian bowed his head slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart.

He was originally the sentry officer of Xiying, although Gu Liang personally went to Qu Jiang to ask for the transfer order this time, but if he insisted on not obeying, Gu Liang would not embarrass him, a descendant of the founding prince.But after receiving the letter from Pei Yue, the 20-year-old man did not hesitate to bring Xue Meng from the West Camp to the South Camp, which was tantamount to abandoning the connections he had been running for many years.

All this is because of his trust in Pei Yue.

Now that the sharp knife squad is under his command, it is very likely that the enemy's sentry will be missed and the opponent will escape early. This kind of failure ending in vain makes him feel very uncomfortable.

A palm was suddenly pressed on Qin Xian's shoulder, and he looked up, only to see Pei Yue looking at him sincerely with a smile.

"I believe in my brother's ability, so it is impossible for the thief to escape early."

The boy said very firmly.

Xue Meng, who stood aside and wanted to speak a few times, grinned and echoed: "Commander Li, my elder brother's ability in this area has been praised by even Wei Guogong, and he will definitely not miss the eyes and ears of the enemy. "

Pei Yue turned to look at Li Jin, and said seriously: "Brother Li, I didn't just say that because I'm close to Officer Qin, but I have my reasons."

There was no anger on Li Jin's face, and he said calmly: "Please speak."

Standing among a group of sentry officers, Pei Yue said confidently: "The Beijing camp has blocked the outskirts of the mountains. It is impossible for the thieves in the mountains not to know, so they will pay more attention to their precautions. If they really know that we are entering the mountains from here, they will definitely strengthen them." sentry, but the vigilance of these thieves' spies is still not very high. So I conclude that at least the thieves don't know that we have come."

Li Jin nodded slightly, and asked, "Then why aren't they in the lair?"

Pei Yue smiled and said, "Brother Li, did he forget that it's not just our Nanying people entering the mountain this time?"

Suddenly, Li Jin stopped hesitating and started dispatching troops.

In fact, they have successfully reached this place, and the bandit's lair is already in sight. Even if they are discovered at this time, it will be difficult for the opponent to get rid of this elite army who is good at running in the mountains and is extremely well-equipped.

At this time, Pei Yue kept silent rationally, not interfering with Li Jin's decision.

The sharp knife squad led by Qin Xian was divided into ten groups. After passing through the canyon, they immediately moved forward and expanded the patrol area in three directions.

The team of 2000 people acted immediately, methodically and quickly according to Li Jin's general order, Pei Yue watched from the sidelines and felt that he had learned a lot.

Before setting off, Li Jin looked at Pei Yue and said, "Brother Yue, I will leave ten people for you, and you just wait here. After we find the bandits, there will be a fight, and I can't be distracted by that time." you."

The words were very direct, but also very frank, so Pei Yue didn't mind.

However, he shook his head firmly and said, "I want to follow everyone. Don't worry, Brother Li. I won't go up to make trouble when the fighting starts."

Li Jin wanted to persuade him again, but Pei Yue said, "Don't tell me Brother Li thinks I'm a fool?"

"Forget it, let's go together!"

Li Jin stopped talking and went ahead.

After passing through the canyon and coming to the foot of the unnamed peak, the scene in front of me suddenly opened up.

Li Jin sent people to search around, and indeed found no trace of the thief, but judging from the large wooden houses at the foot of the mountain, it really didn't look like they had fled in a hurry, and there were still fresh ingredients in many of the houses.

Looking at the cultivated fields in the valley, Pei Yue felt the shock in his heart beyond words.

Fang Rui said before that a certain amount of food can be grown in the mountains, and Pei Yue hadn't had an intuitive feeling. Until this moment, he was shocked and a little terrified.

What kind of deep hatred is it that makes thousands of people willing to stay in these vast mountains, farming and training soldiers just for revenge?

When Li Jin sent out the fourth wave of patrols, someone finally came to report back.

There was a battle more than ten miles ahead, and judging from the shouts of killing, there were at least several thousand people.

Pei Yue and Li Jin looked at each other, knowing that it was the Xiying soldiers led by Chang Si who collided with the bandits.

Li Jin convened the guards to discuss the matter, and at the same time more detailed news came up, Xiying comrades were blocked in a canyon by thieves, and the thieves even had bows and crossbows, Xiying suffered heavy casualties at this time!

Li Jin looked at Pei Yue involuntarily. He had participated in the military discussion in Chenguan Town before and witnessed the battle with his own eyes, so he really wanted to know what choice the young man in front of him would make in this situation. .
