And footprints?

The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, Li Pojun turned over and got out of bed, and slept in his clothes all night, and his sleep was not sound.

After the morning exercise, after breakfast, five hundred personal soldiers were gathered, each with soldiers and arrows.

Li Ran stepped forward and was about to say a few more words to win him from returning to Chang'an.

Li Pojun said: "Your task of returning to Chang'an is important, the matter of personal guards and craftsmen's pension must be solved perfectly, don't be reluctant to spend money, in short, I don't want to hear any dissatisfied voices from the families of the deceased, and if the saint asks about this, answer truthfully, if you don't ask, then forget it."

looked at the three pro-soldiers with yearning faces and said, "The three of you are temporarily under the command of Li Ran and are at his disposal." The three pro-soldiers responded on their own.

Li Ran also let go of what he was thinking when he heard this, and nodded honestly.

Three more guards were arranged to escort Li Ran, who was seriously injured, back to Hulong Villa

。

Looking at the five hundred guards who were fully armed and carrying dry food and water bottles, Li Pojun shouted loudly: "Brothers, go into the dense forest today, there are enemies hidden in the shadows in the forest, it is extremely dangerous, you must be careful on this trip, I hope to come back in the evening, we five hundred and fifty brothers, there are many of them."

When the five hundred and fifty guards heard this, their hearts warmed, and they all raised their swords and swords, shouting the slogan of the Dragon Protector Villa during training: "Gale, gale, gale."

When Li Pojun saw it, he felt as if his whole body was rushing to the top, and he waved his hand and said, "Let's go."

Because it is into the mountains and forests, the war horses and long soldiers are not used, and more than 500 personal soldiers are also equipped with swords and crossbows. The only long soldier in the whole army was Li Pojun's halberd carried by Shi Jin.

More than 500 people went into the mountain with high spirits, although there were only more than 500 people, the momentum was like a thousand troops and horses.

Li Ranzhi looked at Li Pojun with envy and expectation and worriedness, and they disappeared into the mountain, only then did they turn around and leave reluctantly, the three personal soldiers also hoped to participate in the war, after all, they could make meritorious contributions, but now the brothers who trained together have gone with His Royal Highness to make meritorious contributions, but I want to protect this brother and go back to Chang'an.

Although Li Ran is still young, he is clear-minded, and when he saw the regretful faces of the three pro-soldiers, he was also apologetic, and said directly: "The three brothers have run with me again, and when I go back to Chang'an, I have done the errand assigned by His Royal Highness, and I will thank you for the wine."

When the three pro-soldiers heard this, they were immediately embarrassed in their hearts, and they were busy greeting.

Li Pojun led the five hundred and fifty guards to find the original way into the mountain, without Liu Zhong to lead the way, with Li Pojun's sense of direction, he returned to the place where the wolf was shot yesterday without mistakes.

At this moment, he was going to hand over to the "professional" people, and he straightened his head and said to Liu Zhong: "Liu Zhong, up."

Hearing this, Liu Zhong was also busy stepping forward, squatting on the ground to carefully distinguish, and slowly moving forward all the way, and in this way, he walked forward for no less than ten miles, and he had already traveled into the deep mountains.

Looking at the slightly different woods on both sides, Liu Zhongzhi stopped.

Li Pojun paused and asked, "What's wrong?"

Liu Zhong turned his head and replied with a slight hesitation: "Your Highness, it should be out of the Basket Mountain and into the endless Qianli South Mountain."

Li Pojun was stunned when he heard it, Nanshan? Jungnam Mountain? Isn't that the Qinling Mountains, the dividing line between the north and south of China, the Qinling Mountains that reach thousands of miles horizontally?

Once you enter the Qinling Mountains, it is a real primeval forest, not counting poisonous insects and beasts, just the endless mountain if you accidentally get lost, you will be done with the game.

However, even the strange Amazon has passed through himself, are he still afraid of this Qinling, he still doesn't believe it, that group of people can enter, but he can't enter.

Immediately said: "It's okay, keep going"?

Liu Zhong nodded when he heard this, and continued to distinguish the traces left by the group of people, and he didn't know if the group of people were careless after entering this old forest, thinking that they would not find their traces or what, the speed of tracking along the way was much faster.

Li Pojun also saw it, this is definitely a lot of people walking, the overwhelmed patches of grass on the ground, the broken branches on the side of the road that have not yet dried up, to say that this is not man-made, then it is hell.

After traveling more than ten miles, seeing the sun in the middle of the sky, the sun was overhead, Li Pojun was also uncomfortable in the stuffy heat in this old forest, and said bluntly: "Stop, rest in place for a quarter of an hour, replenish physical strength, and take turns to disperse the four people around the vigilance."

After that, he found a big stone to sit on, and Shi Jin also sat on the ground with a snap of his ass, the tip of the halberd on his shoulder was submerged in the wet and damp soil, and the mallet on his waist also smashed the damp land.

As soon as Li Pojun saw that his eyes were closed, Shi Jin's big ass would definitely be able to sit in a pit for this old forest land that could squeeze out water.

At the moment, he said: "Hanwa, get up, sit on this stone."

Hanwa wiped her face and said, "Oh, I'm so hungry, I don't want to move, just sit here."

Li Pojun's eyes widened when he heard this, and he threatened like a big bad wolf: "The ground is damp, be careful to get hemorrhoids if you sit, and you can't eat meat if you have hemorrhoids."

When Hanwa heard this, she exclaimed: "Can't eat meat? That's not going to happen." Busy was a spirited person who got up and patted the stone vigorously, and found a large dry stone to sit on.

When everyone saw this simple scene, they also laughed one after another.

Looking at Liu Zhong, who was squatting on the ground and observing around, Li Pojun asked directly, "How is it?" You're not going in the wrong direction, are you? ”

Liu Zhong seemed to be about to study something, and was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly patted his chest and promised: "Absolutely, that's right, they left here, and the number of people is basically about thirty-five." Back then, I chased an injured roe deer in the woods, and I was caught in a daze for a day and a night."

Li Pojun nodded when he heard this, although he also knew that he should not be wrong, but if he chased the wrong one, and he entered the mountains and forests to follow him for dozens of miles, it would be funny.

It's just that Liu Zhong said it, and he looked like he wanted to say and stopped, Li Pojun was also puzzled when he saw it, and asked directly: "What's the matter, if you have something to say, you can say it."

Liu Zhong listened to this and said uncertainly: "Your Highness, we rest this place, it seems that people have come from time to time, you see that this ground is more or less gravure, but it is washed by the rain, and the fallen leaves cover up and rot, it is not obvious, but it should be people's footprints without accident, but this footprint is very old, almost invisible, and very scattered, it is definitely not the group of people we are tracking."

Li Pojun was shocked when he heard this, jumped off the stone, squatted on the ground to look, and sure enough, he looked for the place where Liu Zhong pointed, and sure enough, there were some concave marks, which were not very regular, but they must be footprints.

Looking at the direction of tracking, the footprints of the group of people in the family who were tracking were fresher, and the footprints were clearly visible.
