292 is here

The further Ping An went, the more uneasy he felt. He thought that since he could move fast alone using light skills, he might as well continue to move forward, or change direction. But he still felt unsure.

After about two quarters of an hour, they had reached the downhill road. Ping An's eyes widened. There were many tents and many people riding horses coming and going a few miles down the slope. No, those were the camps of foreign armies.

The foreign race has actually arrived so close to the Great Zhou.

What is he trying to do? Are they trying to pass through the mountain? Could it be that this military doctor gave him the letter?

There are so many rows of tents, so many horses, and quite a few people.

In other words, he and his master really went in the wrong direction.

Ping An turned around and ran back, making some marks that others could not understand. A tent like this would burn quickly if it was set on fire, right?

He was eager to try it out.

It was two hours later when I returned to my master.

He had calmed down and waved the pheasant in his hand: "Master, you must be impatient, so I shot a chicken. We will roast it here and then go to the front to drink some water."

"Ping An, there is still some water. How is it? Is it wrong?"

"Master, I am indeed wrong. This is exactly where that person wants to take us. The land below the mountain is indeed the land of the Mongolian people. I even saw the tents of the Mongolian army."

Sun Sicheng frowned, "Mongol tents? When two armies are at war, the tents shouldn't be so close together. How many are there?"

"Master, there are several long rows. It can't be considered a large army, but there are still a lot of people. I don't know why they are here. Could it be that they want to cross these mountains and enter our Great Zhou territory through the tunnel? Behind these mountains is our military medical branch, and there are not many Great Zhou soldiers.

Master, could it be that this guy surnamed Hou sent a message saying that the general is here and they want to launch a surprise attack?"

Sun Sicheng stood up and said, "Ping An, let's go quickly. We have to go back and tell them that although the general and Hao Ting have been cured of a lot of the poison, they still can't use their strength. If a fight breaks out, I'm afraid the poison will take effect soon."

"Master, I guess they are waiting for this person. They probably won't move tonight." Ping'an raised his head and stretched out his arms, not speaking for a long time.

"Master, I want to take advantage of this north wind. Their tents are facing north and south. If I light the tents on the north side and follow the wind, do you think they will all burn? Even if many people escape, all the food and grass will be gone."

Sun Sicheng stared at him blankly for a while. "Ping An, this is too dangerous. I can't let you take risks. Master doesn't have much Kung Fu. He always thought he had many guards and didn't need to train so hard. When the time came, he realized that he was wrong. I can't help you. On the contrary, I'm holding you back. No, you can't go alone."

Ping An roasted the chicken while listening.

"You kid, you still have the energy to do this now?"

"Master, think about it, if Uncle Ming and his men haven't found this place today, and we are met by their army tomorrow, is it possible that there will be no casualties?

Or it is very likely that all of them, including Uncle Ming, will die in the battle.

Even if we encounter them and report back, how can so many wounded soldiers be relocated in a short time? If the Hous don't go back today, they will probably attack tomorrow. We can't afford this loss.

Think about it again. Although the weather is a little bad today, with bright sunshine, there is no sign of rain. There is still moonlight at night. I can use the Snow Stepping Step to set up countless traps outside the tent at night. It is worth it that Master Hu has taught me so much."

"But this will be very dangerous for you."

"Master, we have agreed that even if we go, I will wait until the second half of the night before taking action. But you have to move forward a little, otherwise I will be worried. As for me, even Xiao Wu can't match my snow-walking skills. Don't worry, this is the best way to escape. When we get to the capital, I will teach my two brothers."

Sun Sicheng took a deep breath and said, "Master, I am in a dilemma. I know this is the best way, but I cannot rest assured. If I follow you, I will only cause trouble for you."

Ping'an smiled, and his little face glowed. He had washed off his facial cream on the day of his godchildhood, and was in a hurry to travel at dusk that day. His face was as handsome as jade, and there was nothing wrong with him.

Sun Sicheng suddenly burst into tears.

No matter what, he felt unsafe, but there was no better way at the moment, "How about we wait for Wanli?"

"Master, it will take more than an hour to get to the foot of the mountain from here. How about this, I'll take you a little further and set up a new formation. You wait inside and I'll show you the way out. Then I'll ask Uncle Ming, Xiao Wu, Ruyi, and Lin Feng to pick me up."

"Then you must be careful."

Ping An smiled and said, "Don't worry. We are doing this at night. No one would expect that someone would come down from the mountain at this time. No one can catch up with me in the snow. Master, if the timing is right, can I give them some medicine? But if I do this, many people may die. Even if they are enemies, I still feel uncomfortable."

"Ping An, a doctor should indeed save lives and heal the wounded, but these people have killed so many of our Great Zhou soldiers and separated so many people from their families. Once a war breaks out, it will be a matter of life and death. There is no need to feel burdened."

Ping An knew all these in his heart, and telling his master about them simply made him more resolute.

The pheasant was ready. Ping An cut it in half and handed half to the master: "Master, let's go to the front to eat. I'll get you some water."

Sun Sicheng's throat was indeed a little dry. He had originally planned to go to Xiaoshuigou in the morning, but things got sidetracked.

"good."

The stream is not far away, just halfway up the mountain. If you weren't hunting, you probably wouldn't have found it.

After they had eaten and gone to the bathroom, they returned to the horses.

"Master, it's still early. If you go too early, you'll just have to wait. Why don't I walk you a little further?"

This was the first time that Sun Si felt so worried since he grew up. His heart ached, it was so painful.

Ping'an stopped and said: "Master, there is one thing I want to tell you first. Once this is done, it can't be concealed at all. If the court wants to evaluate the merits in the future, it will be that we, master and disciple, discussed and did it together. It will be the same even if Uncle Ming and others are here.

If there is any credit, I hope to share it with my master, but if there is none, it doesn’t matter either.”

Sun Sicheng had mixed feelings in his heart, but he had no time to think about these things at the moment. His apprentice always thought of him in everything, but he could not help his apprentice and instead brought trouble to him.

After walking forward for another hour, Ping An found a very good position and carefully set up a trap for his master and the two horses, as well as a hidden formation.

Sun Sicheng watched Ping An move here and there, occasionally stopping to calculate. It was not easy to set up a small formation, so how difficult would it be to set up such a large formation on the enemy side.

He began to regret it in his heart, but things were already on the verge of breaking out. The other party's purpose was very clear. They had been preparing for the tunnel alone for at least two or three years just to get to this day.

"Master, let me teach you. From this position, take three steps to the left, turn right and take two steps, then walk straight for two steps. Then, take the opposite steps when you come in. But you cannot go in and out. Each time you go in and out, your steps will be different. If it is Uncle Ming and his friends, you can let them come in. This place can accommodate twenty people."

"Ping An, how about you let the master go with you? I am worried about you if I stay here."

Ping An said softly, "Master, when I come back, I will be your apprentice for life. How can I not care about my own life? Too many people will be inconvenient."

Ping An no longer hesitated and ran quickly back the way he came.

Sun Sicheng behind him suddenly felt empty in his heart and burst into tears instantly.
