"That's right." Xu Luo nodded heavily and said:

"There are also horse hoof prints on the ground. Judging from the depth of the horse hoof prints and the size of the soles of the feet, they must be military war horses, definitely not the ponies used by hunters.

But the style of the horseshoe is not that of a cool horse, nor one of our own."

While the two were talking, Chang Huaiyi on the side had crouched down and scanned the ground back and forth, trying to spot any clues.

"If it's not Liangma, then it's Yanma?" Chenyue frowned:

"Does it mean that a group of Yan troops just passed through here?"

"Not Yanma!"

Chang Huaiyi, who was squatting on the ground, stood up and said coldly:

"This horseshoe is made of the Yan family's soldiers~"

Chang Huaiyi was very familiar with the standard of the war horses used by the Pinghan Road border troops, and it was almost engraved in his bones.

Chen Yue's eyes turned cold: "Does that mean a group of Yan family's scouts just passed through here?"

"There's no mistake, it must be them."

Chang Huaiyi had a little murderous intent in his eyes.

Xu Luo pointed sideways to the front of the road and said softly:

"Your Majesty, there is a fork in the road ahead. The Yan family's scouts should have taken the east fork. Which one should we take?"

As a personal guard of Prince Liang, Xu Luo thought it would be better to take another route to avoid the Yan family's scouts. It wasn't that he was afraid of fighting the Yan family's army, but that he couldn't put Chen Yue in danger.

Chen Yue glanced at Chang Huaiyi, who was filled with murderous intent, and sneered:

"Since we bumped into each other, let's take care of them~"

"promise!"

A ferocious smile appeared on Chang Huaiyi's lips.

…

"Crunch, crunch~"

"Stab, stab, stab~"

Balls of fire lit up in the dark forest, and there was an open space in the center of several towering trees. This was the source of the shining fire.

The Yan family soldiers in twos and threes were lighting a fire and roasting meat. The faint smell of meat was wafting in the mountains and forests. Those who didn't know better thought they were out hunting and camping.

Usually, when scouts like this are exploring the enemy's situation, they almost never light fires at night. However, this group of Yan family scouts were lucky and caught a few hares and pheasants in the evening. This kind of game is rare for ordinary soldiers.

, the leading officer immediately decided to light a fire to roast it and improve the food for the brothers.

They had been out for four or five days this time and had never encountered a Liangjun scout. In addition, this location was far away from Zhenbeiguan, so they thought that lighting a fire occasionally would not cause any trouble.

There were figures sitting around the grill. A quick glance showed that there were about forty or fifty people there. They should be a whole group of scouts.

The soldiers' eyes were widened, and they looked at the pheasants on the grill with gleaming eyes. The aroma almost filled their nostrils, and many of them had saliva flowing from the corners of their mouths.

"Tou, this smells so fragrant~"

A soldier was fawning next to the leading centurion.

Smiling.

"Humph, that means I am generous and let my brothers make a fire to cook. If it were someone else, you would only be able to eat hard buns, not even a hot bite."

The person who calls himself "I" from the very beginning is the centurion of this group of Yan family troops. Judging from his appearance, he is not very old. The main reason why he can become a centurion is that his surname is Yan.

The soldiers under his command naturally respect him very much. Now the Yan family is the person in charge of Pinghan Road. Who doesn't want to fawn over him.

"That's right, the head is the best, so our brothers are willing to follow the head."

"Yes, yes, you love your soldiers as much as your son, and you will become a general sooner or later."

"No, General Jizhou will be our leader from now on! Don't forget to give our brothers a hand when the time comes."

There was a burst of flattering sounds all around. The young centurion seemed to be enjoying it, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth unconsciously.

As young people, the most intolerable thing is flattery.

"Stab, stab, stab~"

"Crunch, crunch~"

The flames kept dancing in the darkness, and everyone's cheeks turned red. As the fragrance became stronger, everyone's mood began to become restless.

The process of waiting for delicious food is really painful~

But all the attention of this group of soldiers was on the delicious food, and they did not realize that some dark figures were slowly approaching them in the dark~

It's like the death knell is about to ring.

"Okay, okay~ You can eat it!"

Finally, a soldier shouted excitedly. He pulled out a short dagger from his waist, quickly cut off one of the most fragrant and tender rabbit legs, and handed it to the young Bai Bai.

The captain said with a smile on his face:

"Tou, you've been tired for a long day. You should eat first."

"Haha, not bad, there is a wink."

Centurion surnamed Yan beamed with joy, nodded constantly, took the rabbit leg and started to chew on it. After just one bite, he showed an intoxicated expression:

"Well, it smells good!"

"Old Wangtou, your barbecue skills are really good! Not bad!"

"Hey, thank you for the compliment, Tou. As long as Tou wants to eat it, we will bake it every day from now on!"

"Okay, I'm just waiting for your words, haha!"

"Old Wangtou, you have to bake it well, don't ruin our fun."

"That's natural, haha!"

"Hahaha!"

Everyone burst into laughter, and a group of people swarmed up. In the blink of an eye, a piece of meat appeared in each person's hand. They were all big and fat, and their mouths were full of oil. At this time, if you gave them a pot of strong wine, they would feel comfortable.

It would be wonderful if all the scouts could live like this when performing their missions~

A captain came close to the centurion and said while chewing:

"Head, let's consider it a meritorious service this time. That path can actually accommodate cavalry through the entire mountain range. No one noticed it before."

"That's natural. In my opinion, we

It’s a great achievement!”

The leading centurion said proudly: "This time we were lucky and found this unknown path. Liang Jun must not have known about the existence of this path.

Just imagine, what would happen if our soldiers sneaked towards the back of Zhenbeiguan from this path?"

Chief Biao's eyes lit up and he said: "Then Liang Jun will definitely be caught off guard by us!"

"Hey, I can't tell you are pretty smart!"

Centurion surnamed Yan slapped his thigh and said with a cheerful smile: "If we fight well, we can directly capture Zhenbeiguan.

Now do you think we have made great achievements?"

"Yes, it must be!"

"Of course it's a great achievement!"

"Ha ha!"

The centurion laughed loudly: "Brothers, just wait to receive the reward after you go back. Follow me and keep the food that your brothers enjoy!"

"Oh, yeah!"

"Whoa whoa!"

Hearing that there was a silver reward, a group of soldiers cheered. Who among us came out to fight not for those few taels of silver?

While they were cheering, the eyes of Chen Yue and Chang Huaiyi in the dense forest had become very cold.

Judging from the content of Yan Jiajun's chat, they seemed to have discovered the secret path Chang Huaiyi mentioned by accident.

Then we definitely can’t let them go back alive this time~
