Chapter 406 from light to dark

Upon learning the news of the traces of the thief soldiers, the officers and soldiers immediately became nervous. The governor insisted on staying on the flank, and the generals had nothing they could do. In the end, Zhang Yongxutai and others had to send 300 soldiers to protect Song Nan's safety and also bring the necessary supply, but the 300 soldiers were beaten by Song Nan intact. It was sent back, because the target was too large to hide its whereabouts.

When night came, in order to avoid being peeped and exposed, Song Nan ordered not to light a bonfire at night. He suspected that it was precisely because the night bonfire of the flank team along the way exposed the direction and whereabouts. In this dark mountain, as long as there was no mountain peaks, a pile of bonfires could be seen by people around ten miles. .

It's not that I didn't consider this before, but I had hoped that the thief soldiers could escape from the wind and be driven west to escape, thus falling into the ears and eyes of the army from Jiang Bindong. Now it seems that the thief soldiers take the initiative to attack and don't seem to be planning to escape.

In order to better turn from light to dark, Song Nan also took the risk of making a decision, taking advantage of the night to lead everyone down the south slope and leaving the route of the mountainside. This is quite a risky move. If you walk on a snow-covered mountain at night, you will be killed or injured, but Song Nan still decided to do so. More than 100 people were connected by ropes and walked through the faint reflectance of the snow for most of the night. Many soldiers stepped on the snow-covered rock rift several times and were saved by ropes.

In this way, they crawled and rolled in the middle of the night. In the middle of the night, everyone went down to the south slope one by one and found a pine forest camp to rest. Because they could not light a bonfire, the cold in the middle of the night almost made everyone stiff, but when the soldiers saw that the governor did not complain, they had nothing to say.

After dawn, the bonfire could finally be lit. Everyone boiled hot water and snored a few large bowls of dried meat, and then recovered. Song Nan opened En and let everyone take a nap around the bonfire for another hour, and then began to assign tasks.

"The goal of the 100-person team is still too big. From now on, it will be divided into three, starting a quarter of an hour apart and mark each other on the snow. Once you encounter the enemy, don't act rashly, and immediately hide your whereabouts and report back. Do you understand?"

"Follow the order of the governor." The crowd extinguished the bonfire and divided into three teams. Wang Yong led 30 people to open the road. Song Nan led 30 people to follow closely. Li Daniel followed with 40 people carrying tents, dry food, charcoal cakes and other baggage and other baggage.

It was still sunny when I got up in the morning, but soon after departure, the sky was gloomy again. Soon, snowflakes mixed with freezing rain and crackled down. The three teams began to see each other, but now they can't see each other at all.

Song Nan led people to carefully identify the footprints and signs left by Wang Yong and others to ensure that they would not fall too far, but the rain and snow were too heavy, and soon all the traces of the snowy mountains were swept away. Song Nan knew that he could not break through blindly, and the valley gradually rose, which showed that he went to the foot of another mountain again. It would be big to walk randomly if he lost his way. Trouble, so he ordered to stay where he was. Fortunately, half an hour later, Li Daniel arrived with 40 guards, and finally they didn't get lost.

In view of the inability to get in touch with Wang Yong, the sky was also very dark. Song Nan ordered people to find a safe place to temporarily set up the camp. After walking for several hours, I don't know how far they have gone, but at least it can be concluded that the thief soldiers must have lost their whereabouts, and it is still successful from light to dark.

Song Nan bent down and drilled into the entrance of the low cave. The inside was quite wide. The top of the cave was more than one foot high. Although it was not too deep, it was only 20 or 30 steps, but there was absolutely no problem for people hiding and 80 people.

Two dark figures lay motionless in a pile of grass, not knowing whether they were dead or alive. Several guards stood aside and guarded. Song Nan approached and squinted at the two people on the ground. A guard brought a small stool made of stump to let Song Nan sit down.

The guards turned over and dragged them to Song Nan. Song Nan couldn't see their faces clearly. She only saw their closed eyes on their dirty faces, trembling bodies and slowly oozing blood from their bodies.

"Open your eyes and pretend to be dead? In front of you is Daming Yongguanbo, Lord Song, the governor of the army and horses. Wang Yong shouted.

The two thief soldiers trembled, but they still didn't want to open their eyes. Wang Yong wanted to wait and ask again. Song Nan waved his hand and said, "Don't scare them. Come here, take medicine for them and bandage the wound for them."

Several guards came forward to pick up the thief's clothes, revealing their dirty and smelly bodies, applied golden sore medicine to them, wrapped their wounds with cloth strips, and poured Sanqi pills with soju; the two were at the mercy of people from beginning to end, but they did not say anything.

After the dressing, Song Nan smiled and said, "Well, neither of you are hurt. After stopping the bleeding, you should have no worries about your life. It's really a sin to help you shave your hair. Hide in the mountains and suffer this sin and become a ghostless, hey!"

The guards came forward with daggers, shaved off the messy beards on their faces, cut off the messy hair on their heads, and washed their faces with melted snow water, revealing two young and handsome faces.

Song Nan said, "It turned out to be two handsome descendants. If I saw them at first sight, I would think they were scholars. Are you hungry? Come and bring the beef jerky and give you two more cakes.

The guards handled it according to their words. They took a few beef breasts and a few dough cakes. Song Nan personally baked them by the bonfire. After a while, the meat was fragrant and the noodles were attractive. The two thieves rolled their throats and could no longer calm down. They opened their eyes and stared straight at the food in Song Nan's hand.

"Eat it." Song Nan smiled and handed it over.

The two looked at each other, reached out to grab the food almost at the same time, and immediately swallowed it. The hot beef and bread could not stop them from swallowing crazily. The two crooked their mouths, but refused to waste half.

The guards were amused by their greedy eating, but the smile on Song Nan's face slowly disappeared, and her face gradually became cold.
