Chapter 36
After being frightened by this, Lai San opened his mouth and was about to call out, but saw a face full of joy leaning forward, and happily said: "Mr. Jun, I have been waiting for you for several hours!"

Lai San patted his chest in shock, and said, "Brother Jing, you're going to scare me to death in the middle of the night! Why are you hiding here so silently, I almost peed on you, don't you know?"

Jing Chi smiled shyly, and said in a low voice, "I begged to see you, but the guard said that the Duke had already rested, and refused to pass on the news, nor would he let me wait there, so I had to hide. Duke, I am I need to find you."

Lai San snorted, "What's the matter?"

"What the Duke said, I went back and thought about it for a long time. You said that the military is not under the jurisdiction of the Grand Tutor. It is true, but the military is under the jurisdiction of the two captains! , follow me to have a look!"

"What are you looking at?" Lai Sanyi was in a daze for a while.

"Look at the reality of the barbarians! It's not far from the east bank of the lake, and it's only half an hour's journey away from here!"

Lai San was shocked, and hurriedly said: "Brother Jing, I don't have the ability to sneak into the enemy's camp without being discovered! You have to see for yourself, and I will definitely burden you with you. Alright."

Jing Chi said helplessly: "Mr. Jun, the barbarians have already left. I mean, look at the traces left by the barbarians' camp!"

"I'm also not sure how many of them there are, so they camped in the east of the lake, so I just went to see what's going on at this time! The county magistrate came with me to have a look, so I have a good idea of ​​how to train and deploy troops in the future."

Lai Sanxin said, Jing Chi only thinks that he is training soldiers to resist the barbarians. How did he ever think that his purpose has nothing to do with the barbarians?But when he thought about Jing Chi's consideration of this matter as a big one, and waiting for him here tirelessly, Lai San admired Yuegen very much in his heart.It's only half an hour's journey, no matter what the purpose of going there is, at least it can make him feel at ease.Lai San giggled, and said simply: "Success! Brother Jing, take me to have a look."

The Duke of the county went out to pee in the middle of the night, but he came back with one person, and then said that he was interested in riding a horse, which still alarmed a few soldiers.In the end, after negotiation, the result was that the Duke wanted to take a walk, and there was no reason to stop him. Even though it was midnight, he had no choice but to let him take a walk.But he and Jing Chi walked in front, followed by a team of 20 soldiers, guards and others on horseback for protection.

What Jing Chi said about riding a horse for half an hour was based on his own equestrian skills. He didn't expect the Duke's riding skills to be so bad.After questioning, I found out that someone had been leading the horse all this time, and he was just sitting on it to make a show. No one was protecting him, he only dared to let the horse trot for a few steps at most, and he didn't dare to gallop the horse at all.

At this speed, dawn would not arrive, so Jing Chi had no choice but to offend Lai San, stretched out his arms and jumped behind Lai San to ride a horse with him.This jade flower horse is really a good horse for thousands of miles. It has been suffocated by Lai San for a long time, but now the two of them are in good spirits. Jumping away, running faster and faster, gradually leaving a group of soldiers behind.

In about half an hour, the entire lake has been circled, and the camp pan looks across the lake, and there are only dots of fire.Jing Chi pointed to an open space under the forest in front of him and said, "That's it."

Lai San jumped off the horse, his limbs were already a little weak, and he could only speak after moving for a while.

He asked curiously: "Brother Jing, I've been thinking about it all the way. You said you lured the barbarians to camp here. How did you lure them? The Qilan paddock is so big, where can they not camp? How could they listen to you?"

Jing Chi smiled and said, "No, Duke. If there are only a few or a dozen people, it's okay, but when there are a lot of people, there are many restrictions on camping. The terrain can't be too low or too high. It is close to the water source, and it can’t be too obstructive.”

He pointed to the dense woods at the top of the hillside in front, and said: "If it is too high, it will be easy to be found, and the trees block the line of sight, which is not conducive to observing the enemy's situation. If it is too low, the humidity of the lake will make people sick. The water source is too far away, and drinking water for people and horses is a problem. The terrain of the entire Qilan paddock has been ascertained long ago, and there are only three or five places suitable for camping, and there are only three places suitable for camping more than 500 people, the largest and the best of them One is the place where we are camping, because the old prince often uses it, and someone will patrol and take care of it, so I don’t think the barbarians will choose it there! After I found the traces of the barbarians, I ordered people to cut down a lot of logs and pile them together. It is a suitable place to camp, after doing this, if the barbarians really have hundreds of people, this is the only place suitable for camping!" When he said this, he had a strong confidence, as if he was a different person.

Lai San didn't expect that there are so many ways to set up a tent. It seems that any field has its knowledge.Jing Chi had already led him down the hillside. From Lai San's point of view, everything was the same as usual, and there was nothing wrong with it.But Jing Chi's eyes were shining brightly, leading him to point out one by one.Sometimes pointing to the traces on the ground, sometimes pointing to the small hole nearby, explaining the reason for its formation.In Lai San's eyes, a piece of open space that looked nothing out of the ordinary was full of flaws in his eyes, and soon he even roughly estimated the number of people, and it was indeed around 500 people.

He couldn't help but praised: "Brother Jing is really amazing, he really camped wherever you asked the barbarian to camp!"

Jing Chi smiled slightly, and led him to the woods again. After walking around the whole woods, Jing Chi calculated silently, and said:

"Not counting those who will come later, there are at least 530 people hiding in the Qilan paddock in the early stage!"

"Seven people from 520!" Suddenly there was an interface with a faint voice.

The voice rang right next to his ears, if it wasn't for the wrong voice, Jing Chi would have thought it was Lai San's interface, but there was no one else beside him except Lai San.

In the quiet night, the two people who were absorbed in nervousness jumped up in place and shouted, "Who is hiding there?"

"I've been standing here, but you didn't see it." A black figure took a slight step and appeared in front of them.

Jing Chi was already quite tall, but under the moonlight, that man was a bit taller than Jing Chi. If Lai San walked over, he would probably only be able to reach his chest height.

With just one glance, he could feel the hostility in this man's body. He just walked out under the moonlight, and just glanced at him lightly, and Lai San felt like he wanted to pee.

"Hehe..." Lai San laughed and greeted enthusiastically, "I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, so I got up for a stroll, but I didn't expect to get lost while walking. My dear friend, do you know the way out?"

The man smiled at the corner of his mouth and looked at him without answering.His brows and eyes are very gentle, and his eyes are careless and loose. He looks obviously smiling, and seems to have no malice at all, but the whole person feels extremely dangerous.

"It seems that you don't know either... Hehe, it doesn't matter. Now the weather is beautiful, the moon is dark and the wind is high. It is fate to meet each other. Let's talk. My brother's surname is Lai Xingsan. Don't be polite to me. Just call me the third son." Cheng! What do you call my dear brother?"

The corner of the man's mouth curled up slightly, and he said with a smile, "He Lan Que."

"Ahaha...haha." The conjecture in Lai San's heart was confirmed. Although he was still trying to laugh, his voice was already very out of tune, and the expression on his face was a bit forced to call it a smile.

"I've been looking forward to it for a long time! It's like thunder piercing my ears and the moon is in the sky! Brother He, I'm so happy to see your brother! That's like a spring breeze, my heart is in full bloom! It's a pity that there is no food or wine, otherwise I will definitely have a good drink with Brother He! Haha! Haha!" Lai San said He took a step forward, as if he wanted to pat He Lanque's arm to show his intimacy. Of course, he didn't dare to actually do it, but his expressions and movements were well done.

He Lanque changed his surname to Helan, this was the first time he heard Brother He's name, he looked at him with interest, his eyes slipped to the sword on his waist, he suddenly stopped, his eyes narrowed slightly.

This person's aura is too frightening, even when he smiles, there is an indelible murderous aura. He doesn't need to get angry or lower his face at all. At this moment, his smile is slightly restrained, which suddenly makes people feel They all seem to have cooled down.

Jing Chi didn't have Lai San's ability to meet and make connections. He kept staring at him tensely, and when he saw Lai San approaching him, he was even more nervous to the limit.Seeing that He Lanque's smile faded at this moment, he felt as dangerous as a tiger suddenly poised to pounce. He jumped forward and pulled Lai San behind him, and said in a low voice, "My lord, I'll stop him, you go!"

Lai San yelled bitterly, the situation now is that the two of them are facing a dangerous person, neither of them are wearing official uniforms, it is hard to see which one is more important, if Lai San wants to increase the chance of escape, what will he do?
He would stand in front of the other with dignity and dignity, scratching his neck and shouting loudly: "My lord, go away! You are the body of a thousand pieces of gold, and a villain is insignificant. My lord, a villain will stop him, so go away!" Just like what Jing Chi is doing now the same.

elder brother!Even if you want to shout louder, is this the time to be cool?Is there a fart in such a low voice?Lai San wanted to raise his leg to kick him, but his heart felt hot. Suddenly, he widened his eyes, pointed at He Lanque and shouted, "No! There is a ghost behind you!" Before he finished speaking, he pulled Jing Chi ran away without looking to see if He Lan Que had turned his head.

After he ran more than ten steps, He Lanque's voice came coldly: "Xiaoyou, stop me."

"Brother, what did you say?" A voice came out, with a hint of a smile, "I was thinking that when this man took three steps forward, I would pick off his head and play with it."

That voice came from the top of the tree in front of Lai San and the others, in the direction they were about to flee.That voice was rather lazy, somewhat similar to Lai San.He was also smiling when he said that he was going to pick off the human head to play, very, very much like a joke, but Lai San only felt a kind of numbness rising from the tailbone, and he stopped involuntarily under his feet, and laughed along with him.

"How many are there outside, haven't you played enough?" He Lanque asked casually.

"Follow twenty, none of them are masters, boring!" As he said, there was a light sound like leaves rubbing against his head, and a vigorous figure leaned out half of his body from the canopy lightly, without any surprise .Under the moonlight, his face was very young, and indeed he had the appearance of a monkey like Lai San usually, but there was another attitude of neglecting human life in his expression that Lai San didn't have. He was also a rascal, but this rascal gave people It feels more dangerous.

Both Jing Chi and Lai San felt tense in their hearts, this man's figure was as nimble as a squirrel's.Such a big person, the sound of the leaves being driven by them is as light as the wind blowing. It is very likely that this sound was made without intending to avoid them. There must be top-notch kung fu in the body.

The man supported the tree with one hand, and smiled at Lai San from top to bottom: "I'll give you something to play with! I've caught it!" After he said that, he patted the tree trunk, and a ball fell from the tree, as if it was cooked. Dropped coconuts.When Lai San reached out his hand subconsciously, the ball fell right into his arms, but it was the head of a soldier, his eyes were wide open, with an expression of extreme fear.

Lai San's feet softened, and he sat down on the ground.In the past 20 years of his life, he had seen a few dead people, but none of them died in this way, and no parts of a corpse fell into his hands.Right now, the shock of this decapitated head was far greater than that of a dead body lying on the ground and starving to death.

He had to hold back with all his strength to control himself from throwing the head up, but his hands were already trembling disobediently.

The little boy looked at his greenish expression, and said with a smile, "If my elder brother didn't talk just now, if you take three more steps, you'll be the same as him now." With a dexterous hook with his feet, he lifted his body from the canopy of the tree. Hanging upside down, he looked at Lai San's head and whistled, as if he was very interested in holding this head in his hand for fun.

"Xiaoyou, stop playing!" He Lanque walked over slowly, with a rare expression on his face, "Are you sure, there are only twenty people outside?"

Xiao You was a little surprised to see his solemn expression. In his opinion, these two people were really not worthy of my brother's concern, so he couldn't help but said: "Brother, there are indeed twenty, and they have all been resolved!"

Lai San and Jing Chi looked at each other, they couldn't help feeling a little apprehensive, they only brought twenty people, hearing this tone, it's useless to shout loudly.

"Only twenty?" He Lanque looked at Lai San and the two of them again, and said, "That's not too many! People who can see through my whereabouts, how many people can protect them?"

"If you want to put this in the mouths of their Han people, you will be careless in Jingzhou! This tall man thought we were all gone, so he brought this thin man over to have a look. Brother, you didn't hear, they were looking around along the way, and we acted This person has seen almost all the places he has passed!" After speaking, he pointed to Jing Chi, and his tone was quite amazed.

He Lanque frowned, looked at Lai San and said, "Isn't it because of this? I think he is more flexible." "No, he doesn't understand anything, it's all because of this tall guy. Brother, you If you stay here, you must meet the hero who set up an ambush, and this is him!"

He Lanque nodded slightly and said: "Heroes and heroes live under others. This is also the consistent tradition of the Dingxi Han people. Of the two of them, the one who was so scared that he couldn't stand up had a higher status. Look at this posture of protecting him with all his strength." , this thing is not too small!"

"Never mind him! Brother, it's not too late. Before the rest of the people are far away, let's deal with them quickly and leave." He Lanque raised his chin and gestured to Lai San's waist, saying: "Little Yes, see for yourself."

Xiaoyou was hanging above his head all the time, when he heard that he jumped down like a spirit fox, he raised his eyes and glanced at Lai San's waist, his expression suddenly changed, and he said in a voiceless voice: "This is..."

He Lan nodded shortly, with a serious expression on his face.

Xiao You looked at Lai San again, as if two fire dragons jumped out of his eyes, full of hatred to the bone.His careless look just now was gone, and now he is like a ferocious beast that is extremely hungry, its teeth and claws are rubbing against each other uncontrollably, trying to tear Lai San into pieces!
Jing Chi's face was pale, and he regretted bringing Lai San out with him. He only thought that the barbarians had already left, otherwise he would never have brought the Duke to take risks!

His mind was in a mess, holding the handle of the knife, thinking about how to save the Duke.Over there, Lai San heard He Lanque call him "the thing that was too scared to stand up". Although this person was right, he was indeed so scared that he sat on the ground just now, but it didn't mean he couldn't stand up anymore. .Too underestimated!The third brother struggled with his feet, kicked his legs and straightened his waist, trembling and really stood up.

Standing is standing up, but the thighs and calves are twisted together, and the whole body is quite soft. Running must not be far. The third brother also understands this truth, so he doesn't plan to run.

He tightly held the sword at his waist that could emit dragon chants to strengthen himself, and straightened his neck and shouted: "Scholar can be killed but not humiliated! No! You can't be killed either! Anyway, calm down! You have good eyesight. It’s true that Lao Ziguan is older than my companion, what do you want to do, just tell me!”

The moment he put his hand on the hilt of the sword, the eyes of He Lanque and Xiaoyou suddenly lit up, and all four eyes were locked on the third son, shining brightly.

"Are you an official from Dingxi?" He Lanque said slowly, with a slightly hoarse voice, "Dare you draw your sword and challenge me?"

"Then there's no need to ask?" Lai San raised his voice and raised his head, shouting, "Of course not!"

He Lanque was taken aback for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Lai Sanxin said, to compete with you? 3 people have never competed against you, 2000 people, don't you know that you are an old man?

Lai San laughed: "We are from the state of etiquette! Master said... well, said... Fighting, people are not as good as dogs! Look, if you don't let your hands move, can you still use weapons? If you want to fight, let's fight." Let the gentleman use his mouth, come, come, let's talk about today's matter..."

"Draw your sword! If you draw your sword, you may still be able to contend with me. If you don't draw your sword, you will definitely not be my all-in-one enemy!" He Lanque interrupted his nonsense in a deep voice, "Manly man, death is imminent, don't you Try resisting once?"
