"Isn't this too exaggerated?" Su Ningxin whispered to Ji Chu who was lying next to her. The shock made her voice sound a bit feminine, but because her voice was very small and delicate, Ji Han was also in shock and did not notice this difference.
At this time, they had reached a mountain very close to the tribe of the Great Khan of Xixia. They could see the tribe in the distance, but the situation was not what they expected.
Originally, they were still wondering where the young and middle-aged soldiers recruited from various tribes had gone. Now they finally found the answer. Next to the already large royal tribe, there were also many large and small tribes gathered together. Xixia soldiers divided into different tribes.
Because of the gathering of so many soldiers, there were so many patrols around, and it was a dream to get close to the Khan tribe.
Just like where Su Ningxin and the others are now, they are actually far away from the gathered tribes. They just occupy the convenience of high ground and can see the tribes over there from a distance. Even so, they have to be extra careful when patrolling. The cavalry even placed their horses further back to avoid attracting attention.
"Master? Are we still going?" Ah Jiu on the other side asked, unable to help but swallow as he spoke.
"Go back first. This matter needs to be discussed in the long run." Chu Jihan said. His secret guards were very good at martial arts, but they were not gods. They could not escape the eyes of so many soldiers, let alone assassinate them. There are so many people protecting the Great Khan.
Back in the mountain where they temporarily settled, everyone was silent. There was a sense of dejection in the mountain col. Everyone followed Chu Jihan and ran towards the tribe of the Xixia Great Khan. In fact, they all had the mentality of looking forward to death, but now they suddenly discovered that they There is nothing that can be done, and it is inevitable that I feel a little at a loss.
Su Ningxin took a few sips from the water bag on Chu Jihan's waist, but she did not let the water flow out like those men, but drank very carefully. Chu Jihan had teased her a few times because of this before.
But she had no choice. Ever since she was attacked by Xixia soldiers last time, Su Ningxin had lost her disguise. Although her disguise was still there, she had to be extra careful because she didn't know when it would be wiped out.
At this time, Su Ningxin also felt very irritable. If they returned now, with their previous experience, they already knew the terrain, and there was a high probability that they could return to Xingyuan Mansion safely, but just like everyone else, she was a little unwilling.
After finally arriving here, they were ready to bury their bones in a foreign land, but now they have to return without success, and they have seen how many camps there are. Soon these people will point their swords at the Daqi border, and then the people who will die will be How many soldiers and people of Daqi.
Although Su Ningxin, who traveled back in time, did not have a strong sense of belonging to this world, in the two lives she lived, her relatives, friends, and strangers she passed by were all Daqi people, and they were all living people. , Su Ningxin naturally hopes that Daqi will be better than Xixia whom she contacted for the first time.
"I… "
"I… "
Su Ningxin and Chu Jihan spoke at the same time, but stopped when they heard each other's voice.
"Speak first." Chu Jihan said. He was also very confused now. If it was as he thought, he would let everyone die. Shen Qing himself regarded him as a close friend, and these people under him were never children. The Shadow Division followed him during training, and it was difficult for Chu Jihan to ask them to die.
If Shen Qing wants to go back, then give up, Chu Jihan said to himself in his heart.
[What can I say, say I will take you to the Burning Company Camp?]
Listening to what Shen Qing was saying, Chu Jihan's eyes widened. He didn't expect that Shen Qing was actually thinking the same thing as him.
In fact, this thought came to Su Ning's mind when she was looking at those tribes. Like the tribes not far away, the lightweight wooden tents used by Xixia to facilitate the nomadic herdsmen seemed to be born to be attacked by fire.
"I want to..." Su Ningxin said in confusion, but was interrupted again by Chu Jihan. It was better for him to say such words that caused serious psychological pressure and guilt. After all, he was his subordinate.
"Let me tell you first. I see that the tribes are close together and the tents we see along the way are all made of wood. If we can rush in and light a fire, we may be able to directly lose nearly half of the combat effectiveness of these Xixia people."
Chu Jihan looked down at the ground and continued, "What I mean is, let's find a night with good wind direction, rush in and set a fire before leaving, and we'll leave it to fate whether we live or die."
After finishing speaking, Chu Jihan suddenly raised his head, knowing that he could not escape and had to face his subordinates.
But the scene he saw made him a little surprised, but it was reasonable. He saw those young men who were no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, or in their twenties at most, with bright eyes, and they felt like they were gearing up.
Turning to look at Shen Qing, Shen Qing was not as excited as the others, but there was admiration in his eyes, "Not bad, I didn't expect him to be a bit smarter, he is half as good as me."]
Chu Jihan was speechless for a moment, and then he laughed.
They waited for another two days until the wind direction was just right, ensuring that they could cause maximum damage if they could light a fire in the tribe.
It's not like they didn't do anything during the past two days. Not only did they find out the patterns of Xixia people's visits, but they also found a lot of fire starters to put on their bodies, and even quietly killed nearly twenty remote villagers. A single Xixia soldier took off the opponent's clothes and put them on himself.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Chu Jihan rode on his horse and said at last before setting off, "Now let's disguise ourselves as Xixia people and sneak into a small tribe. The others should keep quiet. Shen Qing will talk to each other. After entering, there will be twenty people." Divide into five groups and go to different tribes, light fires and break out individually without rescuing others. You can go as far as you can."
After the explanation, Chu Jihan and Su Ningxin looked at each other, Su Ningxin nodded, and the group set off.
The group of people rode back like a small group that was sent out. Maybe there were too many such small groups. The inspectors they met along the way just asked loudly, and then Su Ningxin answered in a rough voice and let them go.
It wasn't until they were at the innermost level that they were stopped by someone, "Which tribe are you from?"
It was now time to test her character. Su Ningxin knew quite a few tribal names. They had all passed by Daqi all the way, but now she had to hide one and bet that the other tribe was not the tribe she mentioned. people.
"They are from the Keke tribe." Su Ningxin said, this was the tribe they were in when they were attacked.
"Ketanbu? Why do I think you guys are strangers? I'm from the Huhebu next to you." The man said doubtfully.
[What a misfortune, how come we happened to meet the one next door.]
Chu Jihan's heart lifted when he heard what Shen Qing was thinking.
