Invincible son

Chapter 108 107 [North by Northwest]

With the burly man committing suicide, the battle on the hillside was over.Looking at the corpses all over the place, Pei Yue didn't feel the excitement and joy of successfully suppressing the bandits as he had imagined, but was rather disappointed.

The man's eyes before his death shocked him, he had never seen so much content in a person's eyes.

Especially when the other party kept looking at him at the end, as if he wanted to express something.

Things have developed to the current situation, of course Pei Yue does not believe that this is a group of thieves who only want to rob houses, they must bear blood and deep hatred, otherwise they would not be able to reach this point.Look at the scattered corpses on the hillsides on both sides. None of these people surrendered their weapons and even the wounded chose to commit suicide.

"Brother Xue, what is the condition of those escaped thieves?" Pei Yue asked.

Xue Meng did not hide his respect for the man on his face. What he admired most was the person who was not afraid of life and death, so the man's resolute suicide after knowing that he could not get away shocked him quite.

Hearing Pei Yue's voice, he turned his head and replied: "The situation was chaotic at that time. The people from the south camp were blocked, so we couldn't catch up. There were about one or two hundred thieves who rushed out of the encirclement, and then the people from the west camp Some people chased after him. Brother Yue, did Commander Li have a new order?"

Pei Yue didn't pass on any false orders, and said frankly: "Commander Li doesn't have any orders, but I want to catch up."

Xue Meng nodded without hesitation: "Okay, I will go with you!"

While the two were talking, Qin Xian came over with a dozen people, seeing that both of them were safe and sound, he said happily, "What are you talking about?"

Pei Yue explained his plan again.

Qin Xian didn't answer right away. He was much more mature than Xue Meng, so he naturally considered the problem more comprehensively.After a while, he hesitated slightly and said, "It's best to ask Commander Li for instructions on this matter immediately."

Nowadays, many people in Nanying know that the relationship between Gu Liang and Pei Yue is unusual, and they treat him like a nephew. Therefore, in some people's eyes, the young man has a great say in the team. At least if he is determined to do something, Li Jin It's hard to forcefully stop.But Qin Xian didn't think about this. He knew that Pei Yue wanted to join the army in the future, and the army is a place where rules are very important. If Pei Yue develops the habit of making his own decisions, it will be very bad for his future future.

Pei Yue sighed lightly: "Commander Li will definitely not agree to my going, but I have to go."

Qin Xian asked: "Why?"

Pei Yue said in a deep voice, "The peach blossoms are in their hands."

Qin Xian and Xue Meng looked at each other and immediately understood.

They all knew that Pei Yue and Tao Hua could be regarded as dependent on each other since they were young. Unlike ordinary masters and servants, since Tao Hua appeared, Pei Yue would definitely not be able to stand idly by, and in order to avoid conflict with Li Jin, it was the best choice to catch up directly at this time.

Qin Xian said to Xue Meng: "Stay here and clean up the battlefield. After Commander Li comes over, tell me that Pei Yue and I have gone to chase the enemy together. Remember, if Commander Li is dissatisfied and angry, you must not fight with him." He talks back."

Xue Meng scratched his head, obviously not satisfied with this arrangement, but he recognized this big brother since he was a child, and he did not refuse.

Pei Yue and Qin Xian led more than 20 highly skilled soldiers to follow the bandit's escape direction.

Going down the mountain through the dense forest in front of the hillside, along the way, we can clearly see the traces left by the bandits and the Xiying pursuers on the road.

After chasing along the trace for five or six miles, Qin Xian stopped suddenly and carefully observed the clues on the ground.

Pei Yue waited patiently, and after a while, he heard Qin Xian say: "The culprits scattered and fled."

"dispersion?"

Pei Yue frowned, this result was not unexpected, and for the thieves who were very familiar with the terrain in the mountains, scattered fleeing could very well confuse the target of the pursuers.After all, in the vast mountains, one or two hundred people scattered and fled in all directions, which was very troublesome for the pursuers.Moreover, Pei Yue also knew that Chang Si's trash was still in the canyon, and the Xiying soldiers chasing him lacked the command of a general. In this situation, it was easy to cause disagreements.

Qin Xian is not a god, and he couldn't tell which direction the peach blossoms were plundered just by the traces on the ground, so the group had no choice but to choose the middle path and continue on.

But after walking for two or three miles, they encountered two wounded Xiying soldiers who were walking back supporting each other.

Pei Yue stepped forward to inquire, and learned that they accidentally stepped on a trap set by thieves and trappers on the way of pursuit. Although they were not in danger of their lives, they could not continue to fight and had to go back the same way.

"There are two women and a girl in the thieves' team, have you seen it?" Pei Yue asked.

"I see, that woman who wields a knife is very skilled in martial arts, and has killed many of our brothers." The younger soldier said angrily.

"Which direction did they escape from?" Pei Yue asked quickly.

The soldier pointed to the northwest and said, "They fled that way."

Pei Yue thanked them, bid farewell to the two unlucky bastards, and then hurriedly chased towards the northwest.

It was only at this time that Pei Yue discovered Qin Xian's extraordinary ability. In his opinion, it was a very ordinary mountain scenery without any weirdness, but Qin Xian could detect a very shallow footprint on the ground or a subtle trace on the branches of flowers and trees. It was determined that someone had just passed by here.I remembered what he said before, when Pei Yuan, the ancestor of Dingguo, was on the battlefield, the ancestor of the Qin family who was named Marquis of Pingyang was in charge of the scout battalion and made great contributions to Daliang.

Seeing you today, you will know that there are no worthless people under the fame.

After another hour, when everyone was a little tired, Qin Xian stopped again and observed the forest at the foot of the mountain in front of him very calmly and meticulously.

Pei Yue called everyone to rest on the spot, took out the dry food they carried with them, and replenished their strength with clean water.

Qin Xian went into the forest, not letting go of every piece of grass.

Pei Yue walked to him with dry food and water, handed it over and said, "Brother, eat some."

After Qin Xian took it, he didn't rush to use it, but calmly judged: "The comrades in Xiying should have chased here and lost it, but I don't know where they went now."

Pei Yue suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and asked in a deep voice: "Brother, can you still find the direction where they escape?"

Qin Xian said confidently: "They can't, I can find them."

After a while, after observing a large area in the forest, he pointed to the north and said, "Over there."

"Thank you, brother!" Pei Yue was excited.

"There shouldn't be many of them, about ten or so. Brother Yue, you should be more careful when you run into me later." Qin Xian warned worriedly.

Pei Yue said solemnly: "Don't worry, elder brother, younger brother will not act recklessly."

More than [-] people continued to set off towards the north. At this time, it was gradually approaching dusk, and the setting sun slowly sprinkled into the mountains, as if it was dyed with a hazy glow.
