Zhao Linger and others were not sure whether the figure not far away was Zhao Min's scout.
But when they saw him flee the spot so quickly, their doubts were confirmed.
Zhao Linger hurriedly said: "Hurry, we can't let him escape, otherwise, it will be a disaster."
In fact, Zhao Linger didn't need to say anything, Zhou Zhiruo and others had already sped up.
Yang Buhui and Wei Xiangjun had already taken out a large bow from behind their backs.
The four of them chased forward desperately. Maybe it was because Zhao Linger and the others were thin, the horses under them ran extremely fast, and the distance between them was getting closer and closer.
At this moment, the man on horseback in front suddenly turned around.
He was the first to draw the bow in his hand, and in an instant, an arrow flew towards them.
In the dim light, Zhou Zhiruo only felt a flash of white light before her eyes, and then she drew the long sword from her waist.
With a clang, the arrow fell to the ground.
Following closely behind, Yang Buhui and Wei Xiangjun also pulled the bows in their hands. After slightly raising the angle of the arrows, they both released the bowstrings at the same time.
In just a moment, the man in front fell off his horse.
The man only let out a faint wail from his mouth.
Just as the horses of Zhao Linger and others passed by the man, Zhou Zhiruo did not forget to stab him hard in the chest with the long sword in her hand.
Yang Buhui smiled and said, "Sister Zhou is very decisive."
Zhou Zhiruo said: "Following Zhang Wuji, it is impossible not to be cruel."
Zhao Linger also smiled and said, "Your sister Zhou is just pretty on the face, but in fact, she has a very cruel heart. You two should be careful in the future. It's okay to offend me, but if you offend your sister Zhou, you may die without knowing how you died."
Zhou Zhiruo glared at Zhao Linger and said, "Old woman, it's already this time, stop joking. If you want to quarrel, I'll have plenty of time to accompany you after I get rid of Zhao Min."
…
Along the way, all the scouts deployed by Zhao Min were killed one by one by Zhao Linger and her friends.
Zhao Linger couldn't help but sigh: "Young Master is really foresighted. If a large group of cavalry were galloping, the sound of horse hooves could be clearly heard three miles away. If we want to launch a sneak attack, I'm afraid they might not be aware of it."
Zhou Zhiruo said: "Even so, we have to go early and come back early. After all, there is really nothing the four of us can do."
…
About an hour later, Zhao Linger could vaguely hear some noise, so she waved her hand slightly: "Stop, I seem to hear some noise. The closer we get to Zhao Min's camp, the stricter the security will be. Let's leave the horses here."
"Go over there."
Zhou Zhiruo and others naturally would not object to Zhao Linger's proposal.
After the three of them tied up their horses, they headed in the direction of the sound.
A quarter of an hour later, they peeked into Zhao Min's camp from the corner.
The flames stretched for miles, and it was obvious that Zhao Min's army was cooking at this moment.
Zhou Zhiruo frowned and said, "This seems to be a bit difficult to deal with. Zhao Min's camp stretches for several miles."
"It may not be easy to find her location."
After observing carefully for a while, Zhao Linger said, "Judging from Zhao Min's posture, the cavalry should be in the front, the food and fodder accompanying the army in the middle, and the infantry at the end."
After saying this, Zhao Linger looked at Yang Buhui and Wei Xiangjun again: "You two little girls, stop being so silent."
"Tell me what's on your mind."
Wei Xiangjun thought for a while and said, "Sister Queen, you just said that you wanted to find Zhao Min's specific location."
"This army of over one hundred thousand stretches for miles. It would be very difficult to find a specific person."
"Since we have determined that the food and fodder are located in the middle of Zhao Min's army, why don't we go back and report to Brother Wuji? If he leads two thousand soldiers to launch a surprise attack, he should be able to burn the food and fodder of the accompanying army."
Yang Buhui quickly said: "It is still very difficult."
"The surrounding environment is too flat, and Zhao Min's food and fodder are all stored in the carriage."
"If there is any sign of trouble, the soldiers under Zhao Min can immediately transfer the food and grass to other places. Besides, the food and grass that Zhao Min brings with her army will definitely not be placed in a particularly concentrated area."
"It can't be started by fire."
"Instead of thinking about burning Zhao Min's military supplies, it would be better to investigate whether His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been brought into the accompanying army by Zhao Min."
After saying this, Yang Buhui did not forget to look at Zhao Linger with a nervous look.
Zhao Min smiled and said, "You are a smart girl. Theoretically speaking, this time it is a family affair between me and the young master."
"Actually, the purpose of this trip is to find my son, but with soldiers around me, I can't make such a life-and-death situation too obvious."
Yang Buhui said nervously: "Sister, I knew that this matter is not that simple."
"When you led these two thousand cavalrymen and galloped in this direction, I guessed some of the reasons, but I have never been ashamed to ask you."
Zhao Linger smiled and said, "Sister Buhui, I have told you many times, don't mention the past."
"Your sister Zhou and I had a fight in Jinyang not long ago."
"Although we didn't take Xiao Yuxiao back from Zhao Min that time, but at least we determined one thing."
"That's Zhao Min, she cares very much about Xiao Yuxiao's life and death."
"Therefore, she will definitely keep Xiao Yuxiao within her sight."
"So, as long as we find Zhao Min, we will definitely find my son."
…
It was already completely dark, visibility was poor, and from a distance, one could only get a rough idea of what was happening.
Zhao Linger and others could only grope forward cautiously bit by bit.
About a quarter of an hour later, Zhou Zhiruo whispered, "Damn it, these Mongolian marching tents all look the same."
"If we keep searching like looking for a needle in a haystack, I'm afraid we won't find Zhao Min until dawn."
Wei Xiangjun, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up: "Sisters, I think Zhao Min is of noble status. Since she is the empress, the area around her tent must be brightly lit and heavily guarded."
"Where the fire is brightest and the security is strictest, that is where Zhao Min is hiding."
Wei Xiangjun's words seemed like an epiphany.
Zhou Zhiruo quickly praised her: "Girl, you are still useful at critical moments, and what you said makes sense."
