Chapter 970: A Scholar Not Suitable for Soldier Service

When two armies are at war, intelligence must be obtained first.

This is why Han Kuang sought out Zuo Cunxu's team separately.

A small team of horse guards, all of them are good fighters, except Zhou Bu'an.

According to Zuo Cunxu's opinion, Zhou An'an should not have come with him, but he gave up the idea before he even opened his mouth. After all, he went to the battlefield knowing nothing at that time.

Although Zhou Anbu was the one lagging behind in the team, he didn't bother anyone with many things and could just about keep up with the team.

Now he wears a mask on his face like Zuo Cunxu, and his hair is tied up. He had planned to cut it, but Zuo Cunxu said, "What a pity!" and just tied it up.

After a few days, the small group of people have now reached the foot of the Yinshan Mountains, passing the deserted camp of the former Mobei people.

While resting with his back against the mountain, Zuo Cunxu had already written down his recent situation and asked Xiao Falcon to send it back to the pass.

The others were lying on the back of the hillside, and even though it was so uncomfortable, they were trying to make themselves feel more comfortable, but they did not dare to go to the truly comfortable flat ground over there.

First of all, horse pens are not unique to Daxia.

There are also spies in Mobei, called Crow Fence.

Zuo Cunxu had fought with the Crow Fence several times before, and all the injuries on his body were caused by them.

We are powerful, but the other side is equally skilled.

So it's better to be careful.

The purpose of this visit is also to observe better.

From their angle, if they slightly turned their bodies, they could see the former camp of Mobei, and they could also see a lot of movements on the grassland. It was an excellent position.

It was discovered by Chen Xiaowu, a hunter in the team.

In addition to Zuo Cunxu, Jing Yu and Zhou An'an, there are three other people in the team. The oldest is in his thirties. His name is Xu Cai, but everyone in the team calls him Lao Xu. He should have been the team leader, but Lao Xu himself refused and recommended Zuo Cunxu, saying that he would easily make mistakes when drinking, and he admired Zuo Cunxu's brain.

Old Xu turned sideways and squinted at the deserted Yinshan Camp in Mobei. Even though this was not the first time he had seen it, every time he saw it, he would sigh: "I don't know what made it like this."

Chen Xiaowu was lying on the side, and after moving his body, he also poked his head out to look over there, then turned his head to look at Jing Yu who was curled up and yawning: "Xiao Yuzi, among you Jianghu people, do the Grandmasters of Zhijing have this ability? Didn't Wuping Town become like that before?"

Jingyu had mud on her face to cover up the smell, and she smeared it on all the team members.

The team members saw Zhou's uneasy look and were thinking about how to persuade him, but they didn't expect that this scholar, whose origin was unknown but who spoke fluent Mandarin and looked extremely handsome, would just do it to him directly.

This is one of the reasons why everyone looks up to Zhou Bu'nan. This kind of thing is not that unfair.

Jing Yu scratched his face and said, "Yes, but not many can fight like this. Only a few very powerful Grandmasters of the End can do it. Ordinary Grandmasters of the End are only better than ordinary warriors."

The only woman in the team, a girl with ordinary looks, was about the same age as Zhou Anbu and Zuo Cunxu. She squatted on the edge of the hillside, looked up at Jingyu and said, "You are going to be great in the future. Isn't that amazing?"

The woman's name was Chunniang. She came from Danzhou with Chen Xiaowu. However, even Old Xu respected Chunniang very much, mainly because Chunniang had served in the army the longest. People in the team didn't know for sure, but outsiders said that Chunniang was one of the old soldiers who survived the battle of Liuzikou Pass.

Upon hearing this, Jing Yu immediately shook her head, bit a piece of grass in her mouth and said, "I should be similar to Yu Taohua."

Although he is not a martial artist, everyone knows the name of Sword Saint Yu Taohua.

Hearing this, Chunniang shook her head and said, "You bastard, I told you you're awesome and you're still panting."

Chen Xiaowu smiled and looked at Zhou Anbu: "Brother Zhou, you scholars are not as boastful as Jingyu, right?"

Zhou An'an adjusted his mask and wanted to nod, but after thinking for a while he said, "In fact, if I study hard, I might get the first or third place in the imperial examination, and then my literary talent will be similar to Xun and the Empress."

Zhou Bu'an spoke seriously.

However, when these words came out, the other five people were stunned. The next moment they looked at him, several of them started laughing.

Because at the beginning, when Zhou Bu'an heard such words, he would analyze a lot of things very seriously, which was very boring, but everyone got used to it.

But I didn't expect that Zhou An's trouble had also begun.

Zuo Cunxu gave Zhou Bu'an a thumbs up, which meant he was integrated into the group.

However, Zuo Cunxu also smiled and said: "Don't think that Lao Zhou is joking. Lao Zhou and I must study hard, it's great!"

This is really true. Both of them were on the poetry list and they are still there now.

But except Jingyu, the other three were not aware of this.

So when they heard Zuo Cunxu's words, they all looked at him with contempt.

Old Xu even pointed to the sky and said, "The cows are flying."

Zuo Cunxu immediately became unhappy.

But the next moment, Zuo Cunxu seemed to sense something and looked towards the sky in the distance. After a moment, he immediately said in a serious tone: "Hide well, it's a falcon from the crow pen."

Everyone had just noticed the two falcons circling in the sky, and they had already hidden themselves.

The atmosphere of talking and laughing just now is gone.

It was unusually quiet, and even everyone's breathing became even.

Zhou An'an was a little clumsy, but fortunately Lao Xu was right next to him and pulled Zhou An'an to hide in the grass at the foot of the hillside.

Chunniang lowered her voice and said, "The crow pen is here, and there are still two falcons. I'm afraid the Mobei army is not far behind."

While speaking, he saw Zhou Bu'an tightly gripping the hilt of the knife at his waist. He reached out and grabbed his wrist. Although he didn't say anything, he gestured to Zhou Bu'an to relax.

Zuo Cunxu also whispered: "Wait a minute, Xiao Wu, go to the back and look over there. If there are a lot of people in Wu Ya Lan, we can run to the deep valley in the mountains, cut the Tengsuo and block the road, then we will survive."

Chen Xiaowu nodded, bent down and carefully backed away.

The peregrine falcons in the crow pen have excellent eyesight and will fly over at the slightest movement on the ground, thus alarming the crow pen below.

Old Xu lay on the ground with his ear to the ground: "The sound of horse hooves is very mixed, there are a lot of people."

As he spoke, Old Xu narrowed his eyes and looked at the grassland ahead: "The sound of horse hooves doesn't seem to be from the horses of Wuyaolan. It sounds more like the Mobei cavalry. But if it is cavalry, then the number is a bit small."

Jing Yu asked: "What important person are you escorting?"

Zuo Cunxu shook his head: "It doesn't make sense that there is any important person here. It feels like he is here to do business. Let's wait and see. Once we find out who he is, we will withdraw immediately. Chunniang can send a message to General Han at any time."

Chun Niang nodded, but her eyes were fixed on the falcon that was getting closer and closer in the sky, with a look of alertness on her face, because the falcon gave her a feeling that was a little different.

But immediately.

A line appeared in the vision of several people. Looking further ahead, they saw the Mobei Iron Cavalry appearing one after another, and there seemed to be as many as four or five hundred of them.

Old Xu squinted his eyes and looked at the number of cavalrymen: "There are so many cavalrymen, they really are here to do business."

Then he frowned again: "What are they doing with this number in this situation?"

Zhou An'an said anxiously: "Perhaps, this is only part of it?"

When speaking, Zhou Bu'an's tone was obviously a little nervous.

Although he came from a military family, this was actually the first time that Zhou An'an had seen a cavalry unit of this size, especially the cavalry from the Mobei people.

After saying this, Zhou Bu'an moved his body a little, wanting to see it more clearly.

But the sword at his waist was hooked on a small branch on the ground, and with a little force, the branch broke.

The sound is crisp.

But Zuo Cunxu, Chunniang and others on the side were stunned.

Chunniang put her hand on Zhou Bu'an's head, and everyone lowered their heads.

really

The falcon was circling above everyone's heads.

But fortunately, I didn’t find anything, so I flew away immediately.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Zuo Cunxu looked at Zhou Anbu and said, "Don't move yet."

Zhou Anbu also knew that he had made a mistake. He nodded and did not dare to move. He looked at them with an apologetic look on his face.

The few people didn't say anything, but Chunniang remained alert.

Jing Yu huddled there, staring at the cavalry, while Old Xu put his ear to the ground.

But immediately, Old Xu's expression froze.
