Chapter 63
Xiao Er quickly served tea and stepped back. A moment later, the wall opened and three people walked out.

"Hong Tao, Ye Chang, and Song Qi, they are trusted friends in our army. This is Mr. Li from the capital, one of our own." Xiao Huan raised his hand to avoid the salute of the three, and spoke slowly.

Li Ru'an got up and bowed his hands. Although the three of them were puzzled, they returned the salute politely, thinking in their hearts, the one with delicate skin and tender flesh, or a nobleman in Beijing.

"How's it going?"

"After receiving the letter half a month ago, my subordinates surveyed the mountains in the east, west, and south, but found nothing. However, the [-] elite soldiers who went to investigate the mountains in the north only came back with more than a hundred people, saying that they found a cave in the mountain. It was covered with poisonous miasma." Hong Tao said in a deep voice the results of the investigation in detail.

"The subordinates also went up the surrounding mountains at night to investigate, and found that the foot of the mountain is surrounded by mountains, and the mountains are mostly towering old trees, which are very hidden and can't see clearly, but it is expected that it is most likely to the north. "

"General, my subordinates have already found the list of Yuehou's two hidden threads. The others are still waiting for news. I am afraid that I will startle the snake, so my subordinates dare not act rashly." Song Qi said and presented a list.

"This is the record of all the copper and iron in and out of the northern border that my subordinates have found this year. Except for the military, there are many private iron and copper. The origin is complicated. Although the destination is winding, it is almost transported to the north. The specific route It has not been found yet." Ye Chang also submitted a letter.

"Poisonous miasma..." Xiao Huan pondered, looked at Li Ru'an, smiled and said, "Mr. Li is sure?"

"Try it and you'll know." Li Ru'an raised her eyebrows, she also wanted to see ancient poisons.

"General, the miasma is very powerful, and more than a dozen of the elite soldiers who came back also lost more than a dozen people, so be careful!" Hong Tao looked at the beautiful young master curiously, and secretly paid, could it be a doctor?
"Well, I'm going to investigate first. You immediately go back to the camp and order troops, surround the outer ring of the mountains in the north, hide and listen to the order, and attack immediately when you see the fire signal."

"Subordinates obey!"

There were eighteen bends in the winding mountain road, but there was no sign of anyone. Three horses were galloping, and the hooves of the horses were wrapped in cloth towels, making very little noise.

It was already noon when they entered the North Mountains. The three of them got off their horses and approached the entrance described by Hong Tao silently. It's a dense forest. You can't find a cave here unless you go close. It's very secret. It's dark when you look inside, but you can faintly see a winding tunnel with a glimmer of light at the end.

Li Ru listened quietly for a while, making sure no one was approaching, walked to the entrance of the cave, reached in with a square scarf and shook it a few times, then brought it to the tip of his nose and sniffed lightly.

"Ru'an! No!" Xiao Huan never expected that she would test the poison with her body, her expression changed drastically, she grabbed the square scarf and threw it down, sweat broke out on her forehead instantly, Yi Xing behind her almost knelt down, girl, this is poison Miasma!You are going to heaven!

"It's okay." Li Ru'an looked relaxed, and as he spoke, he took out a palm-length bottle from his sleeve and sprayed it all over his body. Come here and spray them both up and down.

"It's not miasma, it's man-made grass poison powder. Although you can't smell it carefully, it's not a big problem." The master and apprentice like to make poison the most, so how can they not have antidotes by their side, such as hydride, carbon monoxide, and heavy metals? There are antidotes available, and Li Ruan has flumazenil spray in his hand, which can detoxify most grasses.

The sprayed mist was cold and pungent, Xiao Huan looked at the slightly moist liquid on his hand and asked, "Is this the antidote?"

"Well, so to speak, double insurance, take this medicine." After speaking, Li Ruan handed over two Qingxin lotus green pills, swallowed one by himself, covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve, raised the spray bottle in his hand, and Spray it up and down at the entrance, one bottle is not enough, so give a bottle as a gift.

Yi Xing watched in amazement. He found that the girl could do tricks. She could take out things from her sleeves and arms at any time, and she could spray clouds. No, she took out two small bottles and threw them to him and the general. They pressed the mechanism above.

"This tunnel looks quite long, cover your mouth and nose, and spray while walking."

In the tunnel, the three of them walked slowly, while pressing the spray in their hands around, there was a constant crackling sound, and the smoke was lingering.

Walking out of the tunnel entrance, you can see a large natural basin with lush grass, towering old trees covering the sky, and sunlight in the hollow. There are three wide flat roads in front of you, going in three directions.

"Do you feel unwell?" Li Ru'an dropped the bottle that had been sprayed in his hands, and saw the two shake their heads, squatted down slightly, put their palms on the ground, and listened attentively.

Xiao Huan glanced at the weird bottle in his hand that could no longer emit mist, put it back in his sleeve, and looked around.

"There is a change, it should be behind that mountain." Li Ru'an got up and pointed to the direction where the road on the left turned into.

The three of them walked quickly along the road on the left, and Yi Xing behind scratched his head, why did the girl Anfu steal his job? Seeing that she is more proficient in motion survey than him, how did the girl learn it?
After passing the big bend, they came across another secret passage. The three of them did the same thing and sprayed the antidote again. The exit was still a large open space, which was different from the two grass fields just now. There were obviously more human footprints on the ground here, and the three of them went around again. Only two big bends lie behind a low slope. From a distance, you can see the towering gate of the siege built with trees, and dozens of guards dressed as soldiers stationed outside the fence.

"The terrain here is unique, easy to defend and difficult to attack, surrounded by uninhabited, dense forests, poisonous weeds and miasma, there is no way to go, as long as you stick to the only entrance, unless you can fall from the sky, otherwise you can't enter at all, no wonder they dare to be blatant As expected, the most dangerous place is the safest place to train troops here." Compared to the southeast and west, the northern mountains are the closest to the Qing army camp, only a dozen kilometers away.

Xiao Huan nodded, "The border area is sensitive, the secret lines of various countries are mixed, and there are troops stationed there. If there is a slight change, it will definitely attract attention, so even this king did not expect that they would dare to take advantage of the chaos in the northern border and station troops for private training."

"Did you smell anything? Why does it smell like a pigsty and a chicken shed?" Li Ruan asked with a frown, wiggling his nose.

"Targeting soldiers for private training, the problem of eating and drinking must be huge, but on the way in just now, although there are some footprints, but not many, I think they should have raised poultry inside and are self-sufficient." Li Ru'an sniffed the air again The very light taste is definitely the smell of pig feces and chicken feces.

Yi Xing sniffed it vigorously, but there was nothing but the smell of grass and trees, "There are also Huotou soldiers in our military camp who will raise some poultry. It is not surprising that soldiers will reclaim fields to grow rice and vegetables during the truce."

"It's a pity that water can carry a boat or capsize it. Although this place is good, it also has disadvantages. Once the entrance is broken, you can close the door and beat the dog, and you will have no escape." Li Ru'an took out two throat lozenges and threw them into his mouth, shaking his head Said, seeing the two people looking over eagerly, took out a few more and handed them over.

"Well, the cold enters the lungs, it's very refreshing, what kind of medicine is this?" Xiao Huan turned the tip of his tongue to quench his thirst, took a slight breath, and looked refreshed, he asked in surprise.

"This is candy, so what do we do now? Do we need to go in?" Li Ru'an pushed the lozenge aside and asked with puffed cheeks, like a half-grown tomboy.

Xiao Huan couldn't help laughing, and stretched out his hand to remove the grass next to her ear, "There is no need to take risks, the outer ring of the mountains has been surrounded at this moment, we have figured out the route, and there is no poisonous powder blocking the way, let's catch a turtle in a urn."

"Then I'll end up too. I haven't seen the ancients fight yet." Li Ru'an said vaguely with anticipation in his eyes.

Xiao Huan was used to hearing strange words from her mouth all the time, smiling and nodding, his eyes loving.

Yi Xing smacked the novelty candy in his mouth, and consciously rolled to the side to look dead, alas, dog abuse.

At dusk, five miles away from the outer ring, Hong Tao concentrated on looking at the topographic map of the northern mountains in his hand. He suddenly heard the sound of the Qing army's fire letter breaking into the air, and was surprised at the general's speed. , Soldiers were left at the foot of the surrounding mountains to guard them, they could only go in and out, not a single bird could be released, and all the others gathered at the entrance!"

Half an hour later, Hong Tao arrived at the entrance of the cave with [-] elite soldiers, and saw that the three were already waiting.

"General, all the surrounding mountains have been surrounded and guarded by troops!"

"Okay! Those who raise their arms and surrender will be kept alive, and the rest will be killed! Attack!"
