294 sneak attack successful
Everything is ready, and peace will not be delayed any longer.
In the faint moonlight, he seemed like a graceful bird or an elf in the forest, swooping down the mountain.
Dark clouds covering the moon has its advantages, and soon they arrived at the foot of the mountain safely. In the dim light, they could see teams of patrolling people, but they were not very frequent.
This is not a problem for him.
He looked at himself and realized that he had already merged with the dark night. He arrived very late the night before and had been busy for a long time. When he found a room to rest, no one told him where to wash up, so they all wore night clothes.
These clothes were designed by him himself. They have lots of pockets, are loose where they should be, have narrow cuffs and hems, and are made of durable fabrics.
He stared for half an hour and roughly figured out the patrol pattern. He jumped up, and his erratic footsteps were like ghosts in the dark night. If you didn't stare carefully, you couldn't see anything.
The foot of the mountain looked two miles away from the tent, but after going down the mountain, he realized that it was farther than that. Whenever he saw a patrolman, he would lie prone on the ground and wait until the person left before approaching further.
Reality is always much harder than imagined.
He even heard the barking of a sheepdog, but when he listened more carefully, there was no sound.
In this case, he could only be more cautious.
A quarter of an hour later, he arrived outside a tent, close to the coarse cloth tent. This tent was similar to theirs, with cloth inside and oilcloth outside. He actually thought it was his own invention.
He couldn't see inside, but he could vaguely hear voices inside.
Soon he ran to several tents...
After an hour, he had poked open many tents and had a general idea of who these tents belonged to. Those near the foot of the mountain and the others on the periphery were all soldiers, while the better ones in the middle were leaders and the like.
The one in the middle should be the biggest leader. Through the small hole made by the dagger, he can even see what is going on inside.
There was also a particularly beautiful machete on the table near the tent, which he really liked.
The outermost tents were piled high with food. There were not many soldiers, with an estimated 20 people in each tent. With so many tents, there were almost 10,000 people. It was estimated that too many people would not be needed for a commando raid on a mountain road. He didn't know whether they were elite soldiers.
If it weren't for his light steps on snow, he wouldn't have been able to get close to here.
It's almost midnight, right?
The patrolman only came once every half an hour, which was obviously much longer than before.
He didn't plan to wait any longer, and quietly set up a trap three feet away from the outside of the tent. It would only take half an hour, as the patrolmen would not get so close.
This area was originally a hillside, and Ping An took advantage of the terrain and the grass, trees and rocks nearby to set up a part of the trap in less than an hour.
It’s impossible to set up the tent in some locations, but that’s fine, your life is the most important thing at any time.
There were guards at the door of the leader's tent. Ping'an had to rack his brains to knock the two men out, and he also put some drugs in the tent. He took the antidote when he went down the mountain, so he didn't need to avoid these things.
Through the faint moonlight, he could see that the person inside was definitely unconscious.
He lifted a corner of the tent and slipped inside. Deciding to go all out, he made up his mind and used a spell to knock the man on the couch unconscious, making him follow the footsteps of Military Doctor Hou.
This kind of medicine is quite precious, so he usually doesn't want to use it.
Although he knew that escaping was the most important thing, he was reluctant to part with this good knife, so he picked it up and put it on his back, then searched among the two suitcases on the ground. Sure enough, he found a small cloth bag, which contained gold and silver, as well as a pair of daggers.
He didn't hesitate any longer and got out of the tent.
Just then the north wind blows. If it doesn't start a fire now, when will it start a fire?
He took out the tinder and the pine tar from his pocket.
The oilcloth met the pine oil, and soon several tents were on fire. Ping An was already several feet away.
The sentry ran over with a death-death lamp in his hand, muttering something. The people in the tents quickly rushed out, but some of them circled three feet outside the tents and refused to leave even though there was fire.
More people rushed towards where the leader lived, and a small number of people ran towards the foot of the mountain with lanterns in hand, but Ping An had already reached the halfway point of the mountain.
Looking at the commotion he caused, his heart was pounding and he felt indescribable. This was the second time he had actually killed someone after Military Doctor Hou.
But he couldn't help but tell himself that he was not wrong and anyone who harmed others would be punished.
Da Zhou is his homeland all his life, and his relatives are here. He must be happy to be able to use the skills given by Master Hu to do something useful for Da Zhou, right?
Just as Ping'an was running desperately up the mountain.
Sun Sicheng was so anxious that he was turning around. He had already kicked out of the formation when he heard the voices of Erqiang and Fang Wu. He was very familiar with these children's voices.
"The second strongest? Fang Wu?"
Er Qiang trembled: "Uncle Ming, it's the eldest master's voice. Eldest master, I can't see you."
Sun Sicheng came out: "Wanli, I'm here."
Ming Wanli's nose was sore; "Master, how are you? Where is Master Ping An?"
Because there were no outsiders around, the eight of them all had martial arts skills and were good at light work, so no one was willing to stop searching at night.
Fortunately, I really found the master.
"Everyone sit down, I want to tell you something." Sun Sicheng sat down on the ground. It is better to be safe than sorry. So many people would look awkward in the moonlight.
Sun Sicheng told the whole story and all eight people were shocked.
"Wanli, nine of us will go together to pick up Ping An, but let's keep it quiet."
"Master, please wait for us here. We will go to pick up Master Ping An. Daniel, please stay here with Master. We are not going to fight, so it doesn't matter if we have one or two less people."
Daniu is very strong and has a powerful fist, but his martial arts skills are not so good. Sun Sicheng certainly knew this and just accepted it.
Ming Wanli quickly led his men forward...
After safely reaching the top of the hill, we saw that the foot of the hill was already a sea of fire, with some people even rolling on the ground in flames. It seemed that the trap had been broken.
He touched the scimitar on his back, which was inlaid with many rubies, and the sparkling red caught his eyes. He smiled and touched the small cloth bag in his arms. Maybe it was worth a lot, or maybe he didn't bring anything with him when he marched to war. Silver ingots were worthless, but silver notes were valuable.
It’s a pity that so many horses and food cannot be brought out.
So many weapons can only be burned.
His steps were unsteady and he couldn't wait to leave here. His master must be very anxious.
What happened tonight required the right time and place.
It won't work without the Snow Steps and the Trapping Formation.
Ping An didn't know how long he had been running. He could no longer lift his feet to walk in the snow and could only keep running forward.
“Peace, is it peace?”
"Second Strongest?"
"Wow, I'm safe. Wow, I'm safe." Erqiang rushed over crying.
Ping An let him hold her.
"Uncle Ming, let's go quickly, someone might catch up with us."
Wanli said: "Did you succeed?"
"Uncle Ming, we succeeded."
Ming Wanli carried Ping'an on his back and shouted "Go!", and they were already ten feet away.
On a moonlit night, the nine people ran quickly until they saw Sun Sicheng and Daniu standing on the road.
