Chapter 329 Contradictions!
But soon, Bai Siling turned his head and walked to the other side.
On the other side, Huang Yongtu has already noticed this place.
"What are you and that kid talking about?"
Huang Yongtu frowned.
"nothing."
Passing by Huang Yongtu, Bai Siling didn't stop, and went straight back to his queue.
Huang Yongtu was slightly displeased, snorted, and quickly shifted his attention. But Wang Chong in the shadow of the tree was startled by Bai Siling.
"This woman... is too powerful. Did she see something, or was she relying on a woman's intuition?"
Wang Chong looked at Bai Siling, who was standing pretty and motionless in the distance, and his mind went up and down one after another.
Bai Siling's actions were really unexpected and unexpected. Wang Chong admitted that he really didn't expect Bai Siling to be paying attention to him all the time.
However, Wang Chong didn't think he had any flaws for her to see. In Wang Chong's view, Bai Siling's actions were more like a woman's terrifying intuition.
"In the training camp, it's really not easy for a woman to reach the real martial arts level!"
Wang Chong thought to himself, the second sister Wang Zhuyan is like this, Yinhou is like this, Princess Nihuang is like this, and this Bai Siling is also like this.
It really made Wang Chong feel a lot of fear!
Moreover, Bai Siling's last sentence made Wang Chong feel indescribable. Bai Siling said that she always felt like she had seen herself somewhere.
But Wang Chong knew very well that he would never have seen her before!
"I really underestimated her before."
Wang Chong thought to himself.
On the top of the mountain, the fire is still burning. It was supposed to be a quick task, but Xu Qian delayed for half an hour before arriving late.
When they came down from the top of the mountain, a group of them all had smoky marks on their bodies, and Xu Qian's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
"grown ups……"
Zhang Ju rode his horse,
He went up with a glimmer of hope. But Xu Qian quickly turned his head away.
"Don't ask, it failed. Two ran away!"
When he said this, Xu Qian looked very embarrassed. This time I went with full confidence, and all the issues were well considered.
But when it came to the top of the mountain to encircle and suppress, everything was completely different from what I expected.
Xu Qian spent more than half an hour besieging those bandits who escaped through the net, hoping to make up for it, but the dark night, complicated woods and terrain became Xu Qian's biggest obstacle at this time.
Although he tried his best, the two bandits still escaped.
Even Xu Qian himself was injured, not because he was injured by bandits, but because his horse stumbled and was wounded by branches and thorns because he was too eager to pursue.
Xu Qian wanted to lie and say that they had all been killed, but besides him there were twenty veterans of the Tang Dynasty who had experienced many battles.
There is no way to do this kind of thing.
"My lord, don't worry about it. There are still many bandits and horse bandits on the westbound road. This is just the first one. There are still many opportunities in the future. My lord, just be careful in the future."
Zhang Ju comforted him.
The students in the training camp arranged by the imperial court for this operation did not expect them to be very successful, but just took the opportunity to train and temper them.
Zhang Ju wanted to understand this a long time ago, so he didn't seem too disappointed.
It was still early, and taking advantage of the late night, the news had not been delivered, and everyone rushed to the second bandit's cottage.
Xu Qian had been holding back his breath for a long time, this time, without waiting for an order, he led the twenty cavalrymen under his command and rushed up the mountain like tigers coming out of their boxes.
This time, after absorbing the lesson from the previous time, Xu Qian seemed particularly careful. There is also more preparation in advance.
But half an hour later, Xu Qian who appeared in front of everyone was even uglier than before.
Despite being very careful, a few bandits still escaped.
It's not that Xu Qian didn't take part in other extermination missions before, but the bandits on the westbound road seemed particularly cunning. I am more familiar with the geographical terrain here, better at using it, and more experienced in dealing with the official army.
It's like holding a loach in your hand, you can't catch it no matter what.
"Damn it!"
Xu Qian's face turned green with anger, he finally found that this task was not as simple as he imagined.
"Brother Xu, let me try."
Huang Yongtu stepped forward with the horse's belly in his arms, and said kindly.
"No need! I don't believe that my dignified disciple of the Longwei training camp, the son of the Xu family in the capital, can't deal with the vulnerable little bandit!"
Two consecutive failures not only did not make Xu Qian give up, but made Xu Qian feel angry and wanted to wash away the shame.
Taking advantage of the darkness, they headed west all the way, and when they arrived at the third bandit camp, Xu Qian couldn't help saying that he took the lead again and rushed up the mountain.
This time the movement was obviously much better than the previous two times, there was no flames soaring into the sky, and there was no sound of people neighing on their backs.
But when a young man slid down the green vines on the cliff and quickly disappeared into the valley, Xu Qian's lungs were about to explode.
No doubt this meant yet another failure of his mission.
The escape of any bandits means that their whereabouts have been leaked. Three times in a row, something unexpected always happened, and Xu Qian's actions were considered a complete failure.
"Brother Xu, it's the first time, it's inevitable! Otherwise, you can rest and let me do it next!"
Huang Yongtu rode his horse over, patted Xu Qian on the shoulder, and said disapprovingly.
Xu Qian is from the Longwei training camp, and his cultivation level is higher than his own. In this operation, Huang Yongtu originally had a high regard for Xu Qian. But three consecutive failures surprised Huang Yongtu, and he felt a little more contempt for Xu Qian and less respect for Xu Qian.
And it shows on the face.
Xu Qian clearly felt this change, and just snorted coldly, and rode his horse to the side. Although he was very unwilling, but after failing so many times in succession, even Xu Qian had nothing to say.
Taking advantage of the dawn, they marched for 20 miles and arrived at the territory of the fourth bandit. Needless to say, Huang Yongtu was very excited and led more than 20 cavalry like tigers and wolves, and rushed straight away.
About half an hour later, Huang Yongtu came back with someone. And unlike Xu Qian, there were wounded soldiers in Huang Yongtu's army.
Just by looking at his expression, everyone could feel that Huang Yongtu had undoubtedly failed, and he hadn't been able to wipe out every bandit.
"What are you looking at? Is it strange to be caught in a trap? There are some good ones!"
Huang Yongtu was furious, and retreated aside with his troops. Even after beating Huang Yongtu to death, he didn't expect these bandits to be so cunning. The road leading to the stronghold looked fine, but it was full of traps.
When Huang Yongtu made an inadvertent move, he got trapped with both his horse and man. The traps were all triggered, and the people in the cottage had been alarmed long ago, and the final result can be imagined.
Huang Yongtu was full of strength, but he had nowhere to exert his strength when he punched in the air.
"Hmph, I thought you were so capable!"
Xu Qian naturally did not miss the opportunity to ridicule at this time.
It wasn't until this time that everyone felt that the simple order from the Ministry of War was completely different from what they had imagined.
It is not difficult to defeat those bandits, but it is simply impossible to wipe out all of them.
The fourth bandit and the fifth bandit are relatively close.
This time it was Bai Siling who attacked.
But this time it still failed.
Three people took five actions, all of which failed. Even the school lieutenant Zhang Ju couldn't say comforting words at this time.
The students from the Shenwei and Longwei training camps seemed inexperienced. If it goes on like this, there is no possibility of success in this mission.
There is no need to continue the subsequent tasks.
Moreover, watching the crowd wipe out a few bandits, it won't be long before new bandits will come back and occupy these hills again.
On the westbound road, there will never be a shortage of such adventurous desperadoes.
One night, five actions. By this time, the east will be white and the sky will be dawn. This time is completely unsuitable for action.
"Okay, everyone, take a rest. Don't be discouraged, we will continue tomorrow night..."
Before Zhang Ju finished speaking, he was interrupted by a sharp reprimand.
"Stinky boy, what are you laughing at? Are you laughing at us?"
Xu Qian suddenly stared at Wang Chong not far away, and said angrily.
"Do I have it?"
Wang Chong stretched out a finger and pointed at himself with a confused look on his face. He has been sitting astride the horse, as if he didn't do anything, right?
When did Xu Qian see him laughing at them.
"Hmph! Still cunning!"
The more Xu Qian thought about it, the angrier he became. Three actions in one night, all failed, which made Xu Qian hold back his breath. He looks at everyone now and feels like he is laughing at himself.
No matter who's gaze, even if it brushes against him, Xu Qian will find it quite dazzling. As for whether Wang Chong laughed or not, it doesn't matter.
"...Do you think we are incompetent, do you think you are better than us? Humph, do you think I can't see the thought in your heart? You are so powerful, go! Let everyone see, too. How capable are you!"
Xu Qian said coldly.
"Do I have it?"
Wang Chong pointed at himself with an innocent face. He didn't seem to really think so, let alone say so. However, looking at Xu Qian's appearance, it seemed that he had confirmed his thoughts.
"Hmph, eyes high and hands low!"
Huang Yongtu also snorted coldly beside him. At first, I thought that Xu Qian was a little too soft-footed, but I didn't expect to realize that things were far more complicated than imagined when I actually took action.
Huang Yongtu's face is also in burning pain now.
It's okay if a group of people fail, but among the four, three have all failed, and only Wang Chong hasn't tried it yet.
Huang Yongtu was of course on Xu Qian's side at this time.
"Boy, since you are so powerful, you look down on us. Then you should do it yourself and show us!"
Huang Yongtu also sneered at the side.
Bai Siling's eyes flickered at the side, and she wanted to say something, but she held back. Only the school lieutenant Zhang Ju was a little worried when he saw this scene.
"My lords, harmony is the most important thing. There is still a place for you to work together. And now that the sky is bright, it is no longer suitable for attack..."
Zhang Ru rode his horse across the crowd, trying to ease the tense atmosphere. But at this time, something unexpected happened.
"good!"
A handsome and mellow voice came from beside his ear, interrupting Zhang Ruo's voice.
