After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 149 Advantages of Yuanli (adding more to the daily salary of the Silver League)
Even Deng didn't need to get off his horse, he tilted his head to observe for a while and said: "The convoy of officers and soldiers is heading here."

There are many forks on the West Road, and the officers and soldiers took great pains to choose this road.

Going forward, the giant tree fell across the roadside, twisted and twisted.

"Hey, there are traces of heavy objects moving on the ground." Lian Deng lowered his head to take a closer look, "The weight is amazing, and a layer of sand and mud on the surface of the ground has been scraped off."

"Is it these giant trees?" He Lingchuan came down to inspect the giant cedar, "The section is very new, the juice is still wet, it took less than an hour to cut it down."

"The officers and soldiers use it to block the way, which is very clever."

Having said that, both of them were a little apprehensive.It turned out that I was already so close to the officers and soldiers, the journey was less than an hour, so what about Lu Yao?
How far is he from the officers and soldiers?

He Lingchuan's face sank like water: "Go faster."

Going forward and over the hillside, there was a thick fog.

"What a thick fog!" Lian Deng was annoyed, "I can't see the road clearly."

He Lingchuan glanced at him with doubts in his eyes: "Can't you see clearly?"

"Ah, I almost can't see my fingers." Lian Deng wondered, "Don't you think? Hey, you have light on your body."

"Light?" He Lingchuan lowered his head, and he saw a hazy light emitting from his body surface.

Yuan Li?

This shows that the straight-line distance between him and the officers and soldiers is already very close, within the effective range of He Chunhua's Sheji Order.

When departing from Heishui City, He Chunhua temporarily enlisted his eldest son into the army and promoted him to be a deputy lieutenant.It's not a preference, it's just a big military job, but one who is in the army is eligible to enjoy the bonus of Yuanli.

Where is the use of Yuanli?In He Lingchuan's view, there was only a thin layer of mist floating in the forest, which could not block his vision.

As soon as the words fell, Lian Deng walked to the forest on the right.He Lingchuan grabbed him: "What are you doing?"

Lian Deng looked puzzled: "Walk."

"The road is here." He Lingchuan pointed to the front, "Where are you going?"

"Isn't that a cave?"

"..." He Lingchuan understood, "Come with me. I don't know what kind of formation my father has set up. Only with the blessing of Yuanli can we know the way."

Lian Deng had no choice but to obediently obey, talking while walking:

"I'll be good, isn't this hitting a tree directly?"

Then walked over.

Although Wu Shaoyi intends to submit to the royal court, he has not yet met He Chunhua, and has not yet become a member of the army, so Wu Shaoyi and his subordinates still cannot enjoy the bonus of Yuanli.From Lian Deng's point of view, He Lingchuan led him to hit a tree, or go through a mountain, and sometimes went too far, going straight to the cliff with white clouds, which made his liver tremble.

As a result, the two of them were doing well, and there were no problems.

It's great to have the blessing of Yuanli.Lian Deng sighed, missing the days when he could enjoy the bonus of Yuanli in the past.

As he was walking, He Lingchuan stopped suddenly and let out a little gasp.

"What's wrong?" From Lian Deng's point of view, the two of them were about to collide with a mountain wall.

"I saw Lu Yao, on the mountain road opposite the cliff." He Lingchuan said solemnly, "Pei Xinyong walked with him, followed by a large group of people, at least one thousand seventy-eight up."

His voice was very low. With the terrain of "几" at the moment, his voice could easily echo in the valley.

Now he and the thieves on the opposite side are equivalent to left-handed and right-handed hooks in the shape of "ji". Although there are deep cliffs and ravines between the two sides, the line of sight is unobstructed.

At least for He Lingchuan, he can directly see everyone on the opposite mountain road.

Lian Deng whispered, "Are they also making circles?"

"...No!" He Lingchuan observed for a moment before saying, "They are walking on the right path, they didn't go too far, they didn't make circles."

Lian Deng wondered: "Isn't that right?" Everyone is a rebel, he was deceived, but Lu Yao was not, what kind of reason is this?
He Lingchuan sneered: "He is holding a strip of cloth in his hand, and the other end of the strip is in the sky... Well, I saw that kestrel. This thing is flying in the sky, leading them out of the fog."

Lian Deng suddenly realized: "Yes, the raptor flies high in the sky, and the formation cannot blind its eyes!"

Kestrel could see through it, so the formation naturally couldn't trap Lu Yao.

How to do?
"This distance, can you shoot it down?"

Lian Deng shook his head resolutely: "It's too far away, it's okay if it's closer. Uh, actually, my arrow skills are not particularly outstanding."

He Lingchuan gave him a contemptuous look.Is that a euphemism for "sucks"?
Give you a chance, you are useless!

"There is a small road on the side, let's get closer first and then find a way." The team of officers and soldiers walked slowly, and it would be a matter of time before they were overtaken by bandits.

The two speeded up their horses and bypassed the huge "ji"-shaped cliff. There was another path leading to the mountain a hundred feet behind the bandit army.

The road was not smooth and there were many luxuriant branches. The two horses barely walked half a mile, and they couldn't go any further.

He Lingchuan and Lian Deng had no choice but to abandon their horses and walk.

At this time, they were running in the woods halfway up the mountain, advancing almost parallel to the rebels, but the altitude was about four or five feet higher than them.

The reason why he didn't climb up the ridge was because the ridge was bare and it was difficult to hide from the kestrel's sharp eyesight.

"There is a chance!" Although Lu Yao and the others rode forward along the road, the direction guided by the kestrel changed from time to time, and they did not dare to gallop on their horses, after all, the road conditions were complicated.

One is in the sky and the other is on the ground. The trouble I often face is that the trees on the side of the road are too tall, and cloth strips are occasionally hung on the treetops...

Whenever this happens, the kestrel has to deviate from the course, wrap the entangled cloth back, and then continue to lead the way, otherwise it will lead the owner into the ditch.

He Lingchuan explained the situation to Lian Deng in a low voice, and then said: "At that time, it has to fly down, which can be used. We are closer to the treetops, within eight feet, can you shoot?"

Bazhang, he said more, the treetops in front of him are at most six feet (19 meters) high.

"Yes!" Lian Deng was sure, "I can hit it with a slingshot!"

"Okay, let's follow."

The two quietly huddled beside the bandit army, hiding themselves under the dense canopy, while waiting for an opportunity.

God really treats He Lingchuan kindly.

That is, after half a stick of incense, the opportunity came.

This time, the strip of cloth was accidentally hung on a huge camphor tree.

It's so big that kestrels are hard to avoid.

Lu Yao found that the cloth strip was hanging firmly, pulled it twice and found that it didn't move, so he whistled to inform the higher authorities.

Hearing the sound, the kestrel descended, ready to go around the branch and pull the cloth back.

If it can't be pulled back, the bandits have to go up the tree to untie the cloth strips by themselves. This has happened once before, so Lu Yao also reminded it to be more careful.

This moment was a godsend opportunity for He Lingchuan, who stood on the mountain wall and were three or four feet taller than the thieves on the ground.

I'm sorry if I miss the shot.

Seeing the kestrel lowering its wings and rushing towards the treetops, He Lingchuan said like a gnat, "Quick!"

It was too close to the thief army, if Lu Yao and others found out, they would not be sure to escape.

When the two rushed here, Lian Deng took a long breath before he could catch his breath, drew his bow from his back, took aim with his arrow, and shot it out with a "swoosh" sound!
Success or failure depends on the arrow.

The sound of piercing the air was very weak, but the kestrel was extremely vigilant, before the feathered arrow touched its body, it spread its wings slightly, turned over, and narrowly avoided it!
The arrow almost went right against its belly.

However, a miss is a miss.

The hearts of the two of them went cold for a while.

This is too bad, not to mention the missed target, and the kestrel will issue an early warning.At that time, the bandits No. [-], [-] and [-] surrounded and beat the two of them, so any posture would be fine.

waste!Waste waste waste waste!He Lingchuan cursed repeatedly in his heart. Seeing that the Kestrel turned his head after turning over, he looked towards the hiding place of the two, with a sharp beak, ready to cry.

No, you have to shut its mouth!He subconsciously pulled out the broken knife at his waist and threw it violently.

Although the knife was thrown very fast, its path was crooked, drawing an arc in mid-air, and it flew behind the kestrel, of course it didn't care.

Unexpectedly, this thing turned around naturally, and then circled back.

Kestrel turned to avoid it, but it was too late.

The two of them saw a handful of blood mist erupting in the air, and the kestrel screamed and fell straight down!

This, this also works?

Both of them were stunned.

He Lingchuan subconsciously opened his mouth wide and looked at his right hand.

God's right hand.

"Run!" Lian Deng didn't have time to give him a thumbs up, grabbed his arm and pulled him forward, "Go, if you don't go, you will turn into meat sauce!"

The two rushed to the ridge without saying a word, and started the crazy running mode.

Of course, He Lingchuan led the way, and Lian Deng followed closely.Dense fog is the best protective color, and you will be safe if you run far.

The thieves below also noticed something was wrong. Lu Yao stepped forward to catch the kestrel, and saw that half of its wings were missing, and there was a long cut on half of its abdomen. The internal organs could be seen deep, but he didn't know what the murder weapon was. .

Is it an arrow?not like.

Heartbroken and angry at the same time, he stretched out his hand and pointed straight ahead: "There are people over there!"

All the thieves went forward.

Pei Xinyong pointed to the right, and said in a deep voice, "I heard footsteps and gravel falling."

"In the formation, I'm afraid even your hearing will be disturbed!" Lu Yao was still sane when he was angry, and said without hesitation, "Chasing separately! Be careful where you step!"

The two didn't talk much, each grabbed one end of the cloth strip, led one of his men forward, and the other chased to the right.

They were all clear in their hearts, Kestrel was seriously injured and fell to the ground, unable to lead the way.The only way out now is to catch the sneak attacker and guide the way, so that the thieves have a chance to escape from the mist.

The only ones who could injure the kestrel in the mist were the scouts of officers and soldiers.

Here He Lingchuan was running on the ridge, Lian Deng said as he ran, "Brother Chuan, why didn't you show off your flying knife throwing skills earlier, and you want to see me make a fool of yourself?"

He Lingchuan chuckled dryly: "I've never practiced before, I just threw it out." At that time, he didn't think much about it.

Even Deng's face was wrinkled.He can be so accurate in blind throws, how can he be embarrassed by his practice?
He Lingchuan thought of the arc drawn by the broken knife, which was beautiful and strange, and directly attacked Kestrel from behind.
