After having a good time, the junior colonel dug the sand and buried the excrement. This was what the entire army did in the desert did. Then, he turned around and went back.
About two hours later, the junior colonel really came out with a patrol team of ten people.
It was normal to patrol the outside and clear up any suspicions. However, there was a slight disturbance when the patrol went to the shadows of the sand dunes where the moonlight shone.
When they returned, the ten people in the patrol team had changed. Tai-shu Guang, Tie Haodong, and Lu Zheng were all mixed in with them. All of them had shaved their beards.
The junior colonel brought his men back and acted as if nothing had happened. However, the ten people following him were tense and far less relaxed than the junior colonel.
The junior colonel did not enter the encampment the same way he came. Instead, he took a detour around the division he was in. There were too many acquaintances there and everyone in the headquarters knew each other.
Then, he took a detour around the edge of the encampment and passed by some people. Tai-shu Guang and the others were on tenterhooks.
"Old Zuo!" Seeing an officer from the neighboring division, the junior colonel took the initiative to greet him.
The officer turned around and asked, "Why are you here?"
The junior colonel said, "Sigh, the higher-ups asked us to patrol. Open your eyes wide and take a look." He directly brought his men in to greet the officer.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, he directly led his men into the encampment area. He even kicked a person on the ground and said, "Sleeping like a dead pig."
Then, they took a detour around the encampment area. Tai-shu Guang took the opportunity to get close to the junior colonel and asked, "Is this okay?" He was still very worried. Wasn't this too obvious?
The junior colonel said, "Maybe not under normal circumstances. But now, all the armies are gathered together. If we walk through the dividing line between the various divisions, no one will be able to figure out which team belongs to which one. It's safer as long as we enter. Don't be too tense. If it was in broad daylight, we would have been seen through and stopped for questioning. "
After that, he continued to take detours. He didn't mean to take detours. He just observed the rhythm of the surrounding patrols and passed through the gaps between them.
When they met by chance and couldn't avoid it, the junior colonel took the initiative to ask for the password first. After replying, he led his men to pass by the other patrol team. Tai-shu Guang and the others broke out in cold sweat. As they gradually ventured deeper, Tai-shu Guang and the others could see that this little colonel was really a bold and careful person.
As for the junior colonel himself, he wanted to take this opportunity to leave this place. Otherwise, once he entered the battlefield with the army, there would be many things that were beyond his control, and it wouldn't be worth dying on the battlefield.
Amidst the tension, time flew by quickly. Unknowingly, they had already entered deep into the army's hinterland. Standing on a sand dune, they could already see a dozen or so tents gathered together under the moonlight. Three hundred feet to the west, there was indeed a lone tent. Tai-shu Guang and the others were both nervous and excited.
As soon as they walked down the sand dune, a small group of people who were sitting down stood up. One of them shouted at them, "Password!"
The army was exhausted, and those who didn't have anything to do were sleeping like dead pigs. It wasn't normal for the patrols to be sitting on the ground instead of patrolling. The lieutenant colonel immediately realized that something was wrong, but he still calmly replied, "Immensity Sea! Answer the command. "
The tone of the person who spoke suddenly became heavy, and he shouted, "Password!"
The junior colonel immediately turned around and said in a low voice, "Oh no, I don't know if the password here is different or has changed. Be prepared." His words made Tai-shu Guang and the others tense up, and then they shouted again, "Immensity Sea! Answer the command. "
The person who spoke waved his hand, and the dozen or so people immediately formed a row and surrounded them. The cultivators who were sitting cross-legged behind them also stood up.
"Which division are you from?" The person who spoke shouted, and it seemed like he was going to stop them and conduct a detailed interrogation.
How could the junior colonel and the others withstand such an interrogation?
Tai-shu Guang looked around and said in a low voice, "The big guys will arrive in two leaps and bounds. Let's go!"
The ten of them suddenly leaped up, and the group of cultivators who were watching closely at the front immediately flew up to stop them and shouted, "Enemy attack!"
"Open a path!" As soon as Tai-shu Guang shouted, someone immediately released the Heaven Sword Talisman and blasted it out, forcing away the people in front of them.
Tai-shu Guang and the others did not hesitate to use the Heaven Sword Talisman right from the start, so that they would not be entangled and buy time, and they rushed out along the offensive of the Heaven Sword Talisman.
However, the junior colonel did not seize this opportunity to leave alive. For the sake of the mission, Tai-shu Guang and the others did not care about his life and death, and suddenly left, not giving him any chance to sneak into the chaotic army and escape. He was exposed on the spot, and pulled out his saber to fight for his life. It was difficult for two fists to fight against four hands, and he was immediately cut down by the sabers, which could be considered as sacrificing his life for the Jin Nation.
In the war between the two nations, there were countless spies who were brave and resourceful like him who were mercilessly drowned.
In the lonely tent, Dugu Jing, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, and Yuan Gang, who was lying on his side on the ground, opened their eyes at almost the same time. They were awakened by the huge movement outside.
"Let's go!" Dugu Jing immediately approached and grabbed Yuan Gang's arm. She directly cast a spell to break open the ground, and disappeared with Yuan Gang.
Meanwhile, the soldiers lying on the ground outside the tent suddenly reacted and stood up quickly. All of them were cultivators in disguise.
Tai-shu Guang took the lead and rushed over. Facing a group of soldiers who flew up to intercept him, a dazzling brilliance burst out of his body, and he used the Heaven Sword Talisman. With a loud boom, a Heaven Sword Astral Shadow blew up the tent, but there was no one in the tent.
"Ah!" Tai-shu Guang roared angrily, and his roar was filled with grief and indignation. The Heaven Sword Astral Shadow bombarded the desert below.
The people who rushed over, relying on the power of the Heaven Sword Talisman, fought with the surrounding cultivators.
After blasting the twelve Heaven Sword Astral Shadows, Tai-shu Guang roared, "Let's go!"
They knew that there was no chance of success if their sneak attack missed. The Heaven Sword Talismans in their hands were not unlimited, and if they continued to waste time, they would all die here. If their attack missed, they had to escape as soon as possible.
One of them immediately used the Heaven Sword Talisman to open a path, and the rest followed.
Under the moonlight, Yu Cang stood on the sand dune with a cold expression. He waved his hand, and ten cultivators behind him flew out. Each of them had a Tianji Shi-Breaking Bow in their hands, and they quickly chased after them.
In the battle of Xi Ping Pass, although the Waning Moon Pavilion's Tianji Shi-Breaking Arrows were almost used up, there were still a few in the central area.
Few people could withstand the power of the Heaven Sword Talisman. A group of people trespassed into the army's encampment, and there were actually five people who managed to escape alive.
After that, it turned into a chase between cultivators riding on flying mounts. The people sent by the Jin State forced their way into the air defense patrol area, and then broke out of the encirclement.
Tai-shu Guang, who had escaped from the battle, grabbed the back of his waist and pulled. Under the moonlight, three blue needles appeared. They were the masterpieces of the Tianji Shi-Breaking Arrows after they broke through the Protective Aura Shield. These needles were highly poisonous.
"Quick, go to the Boundless Pavilion!" Tai-shu Guang shouted.
In the end, they got rid of the pursuers in the air. In fact, it was not really getting rid of them, but after the Qin State chased them for a while, they gave up!
After asking everyone about the number of Heaven Sword Talismans they had, they only had two left.
Tai-shu Guang looked back with a sorrowful expression. They had lost 18 Heaven Sword Talismans, and only five people had escaped alive. Furthermore, all of them had been hit by the Tianji Shi-Breaking Arrows. It was a heavy loss.
The most hateful thing was that after paying such a heavy price, they did not even see the shadow of the target.
Putting aside the losses, he really didn't know how else he could assassinate the target in the Qin Kingdom's army. He felt that there was almost no chance of success before the Qin Kingdom's army completely entered the Qi Kingdom …
Yu Cang was furious that the assassins had gotten so deep into the central area of the army. He ordered Luo Zhao to investigate and reorganize.
Luo Zhao saw through Yu Cang's doubts. It seemed that he was a little suspicious of whether he was using his power to take revenge. That was not the case, but there was no need to explain.
That night, the army was completely alarmed. They were so tired that they did not have a good rest, but they still had to continue their journey when the sun rose. It was not a good idea to stay in the desert under the sun.
In the early morning, after the sun rose, a large group of sand scorpions was summoned again. Among them, a terrifying giant creature appeared, attracting everyone's attention. The Scorpion King. Yuan Gang had summoned the Scorpion King!
Yuan Gang stood on a sand dune, and the head of the Scorpion King approached. Yuan Gang raised his hand and pressed on the head of the Scorpion King. There was emotion in his eyes. This Scorpion King had saved his life in the past.
The rising sun shone down. Under the exceptionally clear sunlight, the man and the monster seemed to be communicating silently.
When he first summoned the Scorpion King, it was because he did not know how to communicate. Now that he had self-control over his ability, he did not use the Scorpion King easily. After the assassination last night, he summoned the Scorpion King again.
It was an eye-opener for Yu Cang and the others. Luo Zhao looked at it with a complicated expression.
The army set off again. The back of the Scorpion King was enough for several people to get on it. The Scorpion King carried people forward at a constant speed in a group of sand scorpions. If it went at full speed, it would definitely leave all the sand scorpions behind.
When it was close to noon, strange people appeared in the sky again. They took out the token of the Misty Pavilion again, and the patrolling people in the sky did not dare to stop them. They lowered their flying altitude again. However, last time it was two men, and this time it was two women.
Last time it was Wu Chang and Hei Shi. The reason they lowered their appearance was because of Yuan Gang.
This time, it was Lu Wushuang and her disciple Hua Meiru. The reason they lowered their appearance was because of the giant creature in the sand scorpion group.
Lowering her altitude, Lv Wushuang took a closer look and said, "It's the Scorpion Emperor that seldom shows itself in the desert!"
Hua Meiru said, "With such a big body, it should be. Master, the red-faced man with a big saber on his back should be Yuan Gang. "
Lu Wushuang said, "This Scorpion King is useful to me. Go and tell them to leave the Scorpion King for me!"
"This …" Hua Meiru reminded, "Master! Wouldn't this be a violation of the Agreement of the Nine Saints? Since this Yuan Gang can summon the Scorpion King, why don't we let him summon the Scorpion King after the transportation of the Qin army is done? "
Lv Wushuang: "At that time, I don't know whose hands this scorpion king will fall into. Since I ran into it, it's mine. One less Scorpion Emperor is no big deal. Go! "
"Yes!" Hua Meiru flew down and landed directly on the back of the Scorpion King. As soon as he appeared, he flipped his hand and showed everyone the token of the Misty Pavilion.
Yu Cang and the others cupped their fists respectfully. "Greetings, Lord Envoy!"
Yuan Gang only turned his head back to take a look before turning his head back to the front. As if it had nothing to do with him, he pretended to be busy driving.
However, Hua Meiru was looking for him. She turned around and shouted, "Big Red Face, the Misty Pavilion wants this Scorpion Emperor!"
