Thick clouds obscured the moon's brilliance, making the night of the grassland extraordinarily thick. There is a bonfire lit with stars in the camp, and there are no trees in the grassland, and the limited firewood and charcoal have to be used for cooking. And burning the grass is definitely not a good way, that thing is too hard to burn. A large handful of hay can't even boil a jug of water.

The herders on the steppe burn cow dung, and the question is where the cattle come from. Yun Xiao tried to have people burn horse manure, but in the end it failed.

Several black shadows came out of the Donghu camp like fish, and slowly approached Princess Nangong's camp in the inky night.

There was only the sound of the whirring wind in the dark night, although it was hard work to be on guard duty in such a night. The Yulin guards still held their posts, but their robes were obviously not as warm as Yun Jiayong's felt cloak.

Yun Xiaochuang uses buttons, and only needs to remove the felt cloth during the day. It is also a light cloak, and as long as you button it at night, it becomes the most wind-blocking thing. It is most practical to use in the grassland.

A few swimming fish slowly approached the princess's tent, and in the darkness it was unknown what kind of blades they used. All the feathers along the way fell silently, and no one made a sound.

The goshawk, whose eyesight is still too good, first found the person who touched it and gently stabbed the blue tiger. Using his chin to indicate the direction of the visitor, the tiger stared. I saw that a few figures had already touched the outside of the princess's tent.

The two Yulin guarding outside the tent door suddenly fell to the ground limp, and the goshawk took off his bow and arrow, but was held down by the tiger. Motioning to wait a little longer, let's see what kind of secret weapon these guys are using.

The man in black pulled out a tube-like object. Reached through the curtain. It looks like it's blowing fire.

When a man in black lifted the curtain of the tent to enter, a crossbow bolt pierced his chest accurately. In the end, the wind had an effect, even with its powerful iron-tired crossbow. The goshawk originally wanted to shoot the head of the man in black, but it missed the chest of the man in black.

The man in black also had a kind of crossbow arrow shot through his chest, but he just snorted. His companion was not so lucky, and the powerful iron-tired crossbow strings "swished". Almost instantly, every man in black was hit by six or seven arrows.

Not all of them are so kind, and the screams broke the silence of the grassland. In a moment, the nearby Yunxiao Township Yong pounced. The hay that had been piled up in advance was set on fire, and the princess's tent was as bright as day. The whole camp moved. It's just that the movements are different.

The Yun family's Xiangyong got up in the dark night. They did not wear any armor, and all of them were immediately wrapped in felt cloaks. Queue up in teams or armed with mounted guns or iron-tired crossbows in tents. Usually two teams of people defend, and one team of people wears armor. This is the result of long-term training, which can guarantee maximum combat effectiveness in the chaos.

And the Yulin guards looked very flustered. They even lit torches for lighting. In the dark. Their figures are the best targets against the backdrop of the firelight. If it is the Huns or the people of the Yun family who sneak attack. At that time, the first round of arrow rain may have fallen on their heads.

The camp of the Donghu people was even more chaotic than that of Yulin, and many people had even mounted their horses and ran down towards the grassland in the night. This is the usual practice of nomads towards sneak attacks. As long as you encounter a night raid, you will immediately scatter as birds and beasts. Nothing is expensive, and in order to save life, they would rather give up a qiē.

However, these people will always meet at a pre-arranged location, and the steppe people have been accustomed to responding to surprise attacks in this way for thousands of years.

Yun Xiao looked at the chaos of the Feather Forest guards and began to shake his head, which was a sign of lack of training. These feather forests have all been on the battlefield and have some battlefield experience. However, the lack of systematic and effective training has become their shortcoming. In the dark night, the Yun family's military formation was almost invulnerable, and in Yun Xiao's eyes, the Yulin were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered. If the Yun family sneaks up on them, they are eighty percent sure that they will be easily taken down. And the loss of itself is minimal.

The villagers got into the tent, and a strange smell that seemed to be fragrant but not fragrant was disgusting. The two villagers who had been the first to go before were about to vomit, and they were so dizzy that they couldn't even hold the saber in their hands. When the companions behind them saw their appearance, they hurriedly pulled them out, and no one dared to go in again.

"Pull the curtain back and let the wind in." Yun Xiao came to the front of the tent surrounded by a large number of guards.

The curtain of the tent was quickly opened, and the bitter cold wind poured in. Blew away the strange smell floating inside the tent. Two village warriors and two maids were carried out, both gritting their teeth and closing their eyes, as if they had fallen asleep. I just can't wake up no matter how I get it.

The goshawk actually took the snow and rubbed it on their faces, not to mention that it really worked. After a few wipes, the two villagers woke up. It's just that before he could speak, he began to vomit, and even vomited bitter bile water.

And the two delicate maids were still unconscious.

"Hand them over to the princess to take care of, and the two brothers will be brought back to our camp for them to sleep well."

Yun Xiao looked at the symptoms of the two people, and listened to the first batch of reports for entering the township. I know that the so-called secret medicine must be something like some sweat medicine, but it is just an anesthetic inadvertently prepared by the ancients. It was clear that the so-called wizard hadn't mastered the dosage of this thing yet. If you inhale too much of this thing, you may die, but even if Princess Nangong is assassinated. Yun Xiao still can't escape the charge of poor care.

Yun Xiao was carefully inspecting the corpses on the ground, and Tian Wei and the guards of the brigade also rushed over.

"Brother, how is it going, Her Royal Highness the Princess?" Tian Wei asked eagerly. As soon as he fell asleep, he was awakened by the sound of screams. After a long while, I realized that something had happened to the princess's camp. In a hurry, this guy put on his clothes and ran over.

"This is the Assassin." Yun Xiao kicked the corpse that had been shot like a porcupine at his feet.

"I don't care about the assassins, what's wrong with the princess?" Tian Wei didn't even glance at the corpse on the ground, his mind was all about the princess's safety. Although she is a fake princess, it is also related to her own merits. After mixing for such a long time, it is one achievement that can be obtained. The emperor's brother-in-law has promised to make himself a marquis as long as he makes a great contribution this time.

Seeing that the distance has been halfway through, something like this has happened. The ducks in hand will fly away, how can this make Tian Wei not in a hurry.

"The princess is fine, settled in my camp. But it's very strange here, you look at the distribution of these feather forests. There are all the bright and dark sentinels, and some of the bright sentinels in the dark are difficult to find, let alone those dark sentinels that are ambushed, but why are they still caught in the net. Doesn't Brother Tian think it's strange? ”

Yun Xiao pointed to the distribution of the corpses of the Yulin guards on the ground, and Tian Wei followed Yun Xiao all the way to check. The more I looked at it, the more frightened I became, and I looked at Yun Xiao with some surprise.

"You're saying there's a spies on our team. Gave the information to the assassins, and it was impossible for Yu Linwei to be deployed only by the sentry commander level. I don't even know the details, how can I leak it? ”

"Hehe, what if the sentry leaks out?"

Yun Xiao was examining the corpse of a Yulin, and the cold wind had frozen the corpse hard. Yun Xiao found a small arrow on the back of the corpse, which didn't seem to be very deep. With a slight pull, he pulled it out.

"No way, the Yulin guards are all absolutely loyal to the royal family. Not to mention the sentry chief, the more than 100 sentry commanders of Yu Linwei are all personally promoted by His Majesty, how can there be a traitor. ”

Tian Wei looked incredulous.

"Yes or no, go find this sentry. It seems to be a guy named Kui Xu, just look at him if he's still around. ”

Yun Xiao took the short arrow with a needle-shaped tip and observed it carefully, and obediently used all the blowpipes. As far as I know, the blowpipe is supposed to be a tribal thing in the jungle. There is no place for use in the vast steppe, how can the Huns have this thing. Could it be that there are also people in southern Xinjiang who are involved?

"Go and get Kui Xu to General Ben, hurry up."

Tian Wei was also a little strange that something so big had happened to his team. Kui Xu hadn't even appeared yet, which made him faintly uneasy.

"Look, that's what killed these Feathers. Vicious......"

Yun Xiao took the blow arrow and handed it to Tian Wei. Seeing that Tian Wei was actually going to pick up the steel needle, he hurriedly retracted his arm.

"This steel needle can't be touched, I don't know what poison is applied to it. It's not an exaggeration to say that you see blood and seal your throat, take this side. ”

Yun Xiao knew that the most poisonous animal in the world was a frog called the poison dart frog. Its name comes from the fact that hunters usually rub their blowguns twice on its body. I heard that the blow arrow, smeared with the body fluids of the poisoned dart frog, hit a monkey in a tree, and the monkey died before it could hit the ground. The poison is very ferocious, Yun Xiao estimates that the poison on this blowing arrow is also the poison of some kind of poison, otherwise it is impossible for the strong Yulin guard to hang up without even making a sound.

Tian Wei immediately lost the idea of taking the blow arrow and observing it after hearing Yun Xiao's words, and looked anxiously at the direction of his camp, hoping that this guy Kui Xu would come soon.

"Master Hou, our brothers also have this thing on them. It's just that they all have felt cloth on them, and there is armor that doesn't penetrate it. ”

Canghu walked up to Yun Xiao and handed over a blow arrow with both hands.

Yun Xiao was suddenly alert, it turned out that the assassins were divided into two groups. It's just that the wave of people who attacked Yun Jiayong didn't succeed, and the armor alone is no longer something that this kind of blow arrow can deal with. What's more, there is that heavy layer of felt cloth outside.

While he was thinking about it, a Yulin rushed over with a roar. gasping for breath, he reported to Tian Weiyu: "Uncle Guo's big thing is not good. (To be continued......)
