Guarding the border: I am sanctified in the flesh

Chapter 81 Accidental Discovery, Mysterious Force

Lu Fan took the list and walked towards the team members.

"Song Yu."

"To!"

"Yang Cheng."

"To!"

"Su Mu."

"To!"

……

After Lu Fan finished reading his name, the 39 Dragon Shadow Guards had assembled, including him, a total of 40 people.

Relatively speaking, the strength of the teams led by him and Ye Wuchen were weaker.

There are also three fewer people.

From one to ten teams, including the captain, there are 43 people.

The 40th and [-]th teams only had [-] people.

However, the horse thieves they faced were also slightly weaker.

Lu Fan's opponent, Han Chuang, is only at the beginning of the fourth rank, which is much worse than Lu Fan's.

"Okay, everyone rest here."

Lu Fan nodded to everyone, "Recharge your batteries and prepare to kill!"

"Yes."

Everyone agreed and dispersed.

"Lu Fan, you are really good, you have already become the captain."

Su Mu smiled and approached, but without the consciousness of his subordinates at all, he stretched out his hand to put Lu Fan's shoulder on it.

But Lu Fan knocked him down.

"It's not really the captain, it's just temporary."

Lu Fan knew very well that his title of captain was not a formal appointment, but a temporary power given to him based on this mission.

"That's fine too."

Su Mu smiled and said, "You have made great contributions this time, and you should be promoted soon."

"Yes, Lu Fan, the captain has praised you a lot recently."

Yang Cheng also came over, with a smile on his face, "Said you have completed the task very well, if you can wipe out the horse thieves, you will be the first!"

"Yes, you may be the new captain in the future."

"Take us with you when the time comes."

Pei Jun and Xu Bin also came over together and said a few words to Lu Fan.

Now they are all Lu Fan's team members.

"Lu Fan!"

Qin Yu strode over from a distance.

"You all go to rest."

Lu Fan glanced at the few people around him.

"it is good."

Several people understood and dispersed separately.

Qin Yu came to Lu Fan, stood up straight, looked directly into Lu Fan's eyes, without any hesitation, and said loudly: "You are indeed better than me!"

"Can't say that either."

Lu Fan shook his head lightly, "It's just my luck."

"No!"

Qin Yu said: "Compared with my mission, your mission this time is undoubtedly more difficult, but you have completed it brilliantly."

"And it took a short time."

"No matter how conceited I am, I have to admit that you are better than me!"

Speaking of this, Qin Yu sighed softly, "I never give in to others, even if others are stronger than me, no matter how powerful they are, I will never give in."

"Because sooner or later I will surpass them."

"But today, I want to say a word of admiration to you."

"And I sincerely apologize to you."

Qin Yu suddenly bowed deeply to Lu Fan, "I underestimated you before, I'm sorry, your excellence is far beyond my imagination."

"What are you doing?"

Lu Fan quickly helped Qin Yu up.

"That's how I feel right now."

Qin Yu's expression turned serious, and he said, "However, this feeling may disappear soon."

"Because I still believe in myself and will surpass anyone."

"Even if you are stronger than me now."

"Not necessarily in the future."

"After all, there is still a long way to go, enough for me to catch up."

Qin Yu said: "I hope you will not relax, so that I will be more motivated."

"it is good."

Lu Fan nodded and praised: "It's right to be unconvinced. We should firmly believe that we are no worse than anyone else."

"Well, I'm leaving."

Qin Yu didn't stay any longer, turned around and left.

"I didn't expect it."

Su Mu leaned over again, looked at Qin Yu's retreating back, and said in a low voice, "This stubborn donkey sometimes convinces others."

"You are wrong, he is not convinced in his heart."

Lu Fan said: "The reason why he came to me is more to show his attitude. He will not give up easily. At the same time, it also shows his determination. He will surpass me one day."

"really."

Su Mu also wanted to understand, "It's too difficult to convince this kind of person, I guess he still doesn't know your true strength."

"It's a pity that he is in the first team. It would be great if he could be in the same team as us."

"That way he can see you do your best tonight."

"Maybe he will be completely convinced by you."

Su Mu said: "Not only do you have to be convinced with your mouth, but you also have to be convinced in your heart."

"No need."

Lu Fan smiled, "Everyone is different, you should stick to your heart, so as not to lose yourself."

"well said!"

Su Mu praised, thinking about himself, suddenly felt a little ashamed.

He seems to have gradually lost himself.

The purest heart at the beginning has long been polluted by this world and has become extremely turbid.

It seems that this cannot continue in the future.

To make a change.

Otherwise, he can only be a mediocre person in this life.

……

……

As the evening approached, the Dragon Shadow Guards took out their dry food and began to eat.

To avoid exposure, no fires were lit for cooking.

After all, there are too many people, if you really want to cook, there will be smoke everywhere.

It's completely different from Lu Fan who is usually alone.

It is easy to see the clues.

The general offensive is about to start, there is no need to arouse the vigilance of the enemy just because of a meal.

After eating, take a short rest.

Seeing the sun set and the sky getting dark, the Dragon Shadow Guards all stood up to check their equipment.

Bow and arrow, long knife, short knife, or sword.

"set off!"

Li Yongtai gave an order, and each branch of the Dragon Shadow Guards, under the leadership of the captain, started to move.

They went out of the valley, scattered in different directions, and surrounded the area where the horse thief was.

Silently.

Lu Fan led the team to walk ahead, leading the team members, and soon came to the foot of a mountain.

On the mountain is the gang of horse thieves headed by Han Chuang.

"Song Yu, Yang Cheng."

Lu Fan pointed to the two horse thieves standing guard at the foot of the mountain, and made a beheading gesture.

"Yes."

Song Yu and Yang Cheng passed the crowd, made a detour all the way, came to the foot of the mountain, and rushed towards the two horse thieves.

"Crack."

The necks of the two horse thieves were broken at the same time, and they fell down without a sound.

Song Yu and Yang Cheng dragged the body into the grass beside them, looked around again, and then signaled everyone to come forward.

"continue!"

Lu Fan led the people along the steps, all the way up, and cleared the guard posts along the way.

Before a mountain gate, he stopped.

Going up again, you will enter the camp of horse thieves.

no need.

They just need to clear the sentry post at the foot of the mountain, in order to prevent the other party from discovering the support troops of the Zhennan Army.

The Zhennan Army who came to support them had not received special training after all, and they were not as good at hiding their whereabouts as the Dragon Shadow Guards, so they might be spotted by the opponent's sentry.

Moreover, they are not familiar with the locations of the various guard posts.

"Go, go from the side."

"Yes."

The crowd followed behind Lu Fan, circled from the left side, and went all the way to the back of the mountain.

Then start climbing up from the back of the mountain.

This side is almost full of cliffs, which are extremely difficult to climb, but this is not difficult for Lu Fan.

He walked in the front, like walking on the ground, and everyone was stunned.

Every time he reached a landing place, he would hang down the rope and let everyone climb by the rope.

As a result, the speed of travel is a bit slow.

It took more than an hour for them to reach the top of the mountain.

It was completely dark by now.

There was no trace of horse thieves on the top of the mountain, and no one was guarding it.

"You all hide here, wait for the sound of the drum, and then rush down together."

Lu Fan asked a few words, and said in a low voice, "I'll go down and have a look first."

"Ah."

Everyone nodded together.

Lu Fan was still wearing ordinary people's clothes, with a hunting bow on his shoulder and a knife pinned to his waist.

It's just that he has an extra long knife on his back.

But it didn't affect his agility at all.

He used the darkness to move quickly, and easily found the largest building.

This is a large hall, and there are subtle voices coming from inside.

Lu Fan climbed to the roof, looking for a suitable position from top to bottom.

door plaque.

The most suitable.

He nimbly hid behind the door plaque without making a sound.

There are two people in the hall eating.

"Mr. Liao, I have come to respect you."

The man's voice sounded, the voice was extremely thick, but the attitude was respectful.

"You don't have to be polite."

Another man's voice sounded, sounding slightly feminine.

Lu Fan was stunned for a moment, thinking about the names of the two just now.

Han Chuang should be in charge, right?
Who is the other person?
Why is Han Chuang so respectful?

"I don't know how the young master sent Mr. Liao, what instructions do you have?"

Han Chuang's voice sounded again, making Lu Fan wonder again, who is the son?

"Young Master said that he needs a hundred girls."

The person surnamed Liao said: "Above the average in appearance, good in figure, not too bad in complexion, and free of physical defects."

"Yes."

Han Chuang replied: "Don't worry, sir, within a month, I will definitely find a hundred girls and present them to you."

"very good."

The one surnamed Liao said with a smile: "Then there will be Mr. Lao in charge."

"It's right to work for the son."

Han Chuang laughed a few times and asked, "Sir, you will stay longer this time, right?"

"Will do."

The man surnamed Liao replied: "We have to wait for the masters to find all the things that the young master wants."

"That's good."

Han Chuang said, "I would also like to ask Mr. Liao to help pass the message, saying that I want to visit the young master, and hope that the young master will give me a chance."

"Please rest assured, master."

The man surnamed Liao said: "I will definitely bring the word to you."

"Thank you, thank you."

Han Chuang's voice was cheerful, "Come, I respect you."

"Okay, cheers."

Hearing this, Lu Fan felt more doubtful.

Han Chuang actually obeyed others?

Moreover, the other horse thieves seemed to be like Han Chuang, taking orders from that young master?
What kind of son is it?
so powerful?

How could he make so many horse thieves obey him?
It seems that it is also on the mountain?

It seems that he will have to keep up with that surnamed Liao for a while, maybe he can find the son he just mentioned.

But what about tonight's mission?
Forget it, let's take a look first.

It was still early at night, and he could make a decision according to the situation.

In the main hall, the two were drinking happily, bumping into a glass from time to time.

But no useful information was revealed.

Lu Fan kept hiding behind the door plaque, listening to the two talking.

after an hour.

The two finally ate and drank enough.

"Master, thank you for your hospitality."

A voice surnamed Liao came, "Farewell!"

"I'll take you."

Han Chuang and the person surnamed Liao walked out of the main hall and sent them to the bottom of the steps before saying goodbye, "Sir, go slowly."

"Go back."

The one surnamed Liao turned around and waved his hand.

Lu Fan quietly poked out from behind the door plaque and saw the person's face clearly.

He is a middle-aged man, not tall, slightly fat, and looks quite rich.

Han Chuang on the other side is tall and strong, and one can guess from his back that his appearance must be rough.

Watching Liao leave, Han Chuang turned back to the main hall.

Lu Fan went up to the roof again, left from the side, and quietly followed behind Liao.

Followed all the way out of the mountain gate.

Lu Fan's heart tightened suddenly, the sentries were gone, wouldn't Liao be suspicious?

"What about people?"

Sure enough, the surname Liao muttered, "Damn, these guys know how to be lazy every day!"

"Another day, let Han Chuang punish them!"

He said as he walked, without seeming suspicious.

It seems that he drank too much alcohol and his reaction was a little slow.

Lu Fan guessed and felt relieved.

The two went down the mountain one after the other.

And went around to the back mountain.

It is the mountain surrounded by twelve horse thieves.

There is indeed a problem!
Lu Fan heaved a sigh of relief when he followed here.

Fortunately, on a whim, he wanted to hear about horse thieves.

Unexpectedly, a secret was discovered inadvertently.

There are people on this mountain.

Is it the No.13 horse thief?
Do not!
It should be that young man who lives here.

It seems that the son didn't live here all the time, but came back when needed.

Live here for a while, get what you want, and then leave.

In this way, it makes sense.

Why didn't Lu Fan find anyone entering or exiting this mountain after several investigations.

Because at that time, the person surnamed Liao hadn't come yet.

There is really no one on the mountain.

But now.

Maybe you can catch a big fish.

Lu Fan followed Liao and went up the mountain.

The road was unimpeded and unguarded.

When he was almost halfway up the mountain, he suddenly became alert.

someone.

"Mr. Liao."

Two men appeared in the darkness, bowed and saluted, "You are back."

"Ah."

The one surnamed Liao nodded, "Is the young master asleep?"

"not yet."

"Oh."

Lu Fan didn't go any further.

He can now confirm that the son is on the mountain.

That's easy to say.

Go back and explain to the team members first. After the general attack started, he captured Han Chuang alive, so he came here.

It would be best to capture Liao alive, as well as that young master.

Even if he couldn't, he could hold back the two of them and wait for reinforcements.

In short, these two people don't want to leave tonight.

He caught two big fish.

At that time, it will be another great achievement.

"Mr. Liao, you are back."

People kept showing up on the mountain, saluting the person surnamed Liao.

Lu Fan silently recorded the positions of those people.

When no one showed up, he turned and went down the mountain.

Back to the top of the mountain.

Lu Fan called the team members together and explained what he found.

Everyone was a little surprised.

"I didn't expect that there are masterminds behind these horse thieves?"

"Which force is it?"

"It's too courageous to collude with horse thieves."

"It's just insane."

Everyone knows what that means.

Because the reputation of horse thieves is too bad, everyone gets it and punishes them.

Those who dare to cooperate with horse thieves will be charged with serious crimes.

No matter which side it is, if it is exposed, it cannot bear the serious consequences.

Even if it is charged with treason, it is not an exaggeration.

"So, I'm going to change my plans."

Lu Fan said: "I want to capture Han Chuang alive and keep him as a witness. I will definitely be able to ask something from him in the future."

"Correct."

"Yes."

The crowd joined in.

"It's too late to report to the commander now."

Lu Fan continued: "It is even more impossible to change the plan."

"Other teams will definitely kill all the thieves."

"If you want to leave evidence, you can only go through Han Chuang."

“The success or failure of this is on us.”

"If you can get out of Han Chuang's mouth and find a breakthrough, it must be a great achievement."

Lu Fan took the opportunity to encourage everyone, "We must seize this opportunity well."

"Yes."

Everyone agreed in a low voice, but their expressions were extremely firm.

Of course Lu Fan knew that besides Han Chuang, there were also Mr. Liao and his son from the back mountain.

Still, an extra lead is always good.

In case something goes wrong on the back mountain side, there is still a chance to make amends.

Therefore, Han Chuang could not die for the time being.

In the future, as long as useful information is obtained, or Han Chuang is no longer useful, he can kill this person at any time.

According to Lu Fan's current situation, and in such a short time, he thinks this is the best choice.

"Okay, you guys rest."

Lu Fan glanced at the crowd, "I'll keep an eye on Han Chuang, and when the drums sound, you immediately rush down."

"Yes."

……

……

Lu Fan quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

He returned to the great hall again, hiding behind the door plaque, listening to the movement in the room.

Han Chuang seemed to be asleep, snoring from time to time.

Lu Fan slipped down quietly and entered the hall.

Following the sound of snoring, he quickly found Han Chuang's bedroom.

The door was ajar, and no one was guarding it.

It seems that these horse thieves have relaxed their vigilance because of their too comfortable life.

Not only Han Chuang, but everyone else must be like this.

Seeing that there was no one around, Lu Fan sneaked into Han Chuang's room and hid in the darkness.

Patiently waiting for the action to begin.

At this time, the entire mountain range was extremely silent, and many people fell asleep.

Even the birds and beasts began to rest.

The lights in the rooms on each mountaintop gradually went out.

It was pitch black.

Fortunately, there is still moonlight, which shines on the various hills under the cover of clouds and mists.

Some places are brighter, some places are darker.

The Dragon Shadow Guard and the reinforcements from the Zhennan Army were already in place, lurking around, waiting for the start of the operation.

Feeling a little nervous, but also a little excited.

There has been no war for many years.

Today is a battle of considerable scale.

For them, it is also a test.

It is also the time to test the combat effectiveness.

"Boom!"

Drums sounded.

Very loud on a quiet night.

It's like knocking on a person's heart, making the heart tremble.

Snare!

It can always make people feel uplifted, and completely dispel those tiredness and sleepiness.

It can also drive away timidity and inject courage into the body.

Even blood boiling!

"Boom!"

The drum beats again.

"Ok?"

Han Chuang woke up from his dream with a jolt.

He stood up abruptly, dazed.

"what happened?"

"What was the sound just now?"

He talked to himself, frowned slightly, and looked outside the door, it seemed that there was nothing unusual.

Just about to lie down and continue to sleep, I suddenly felt something was wrong.

It seems that an inexplicable danger is approaching.

Suddenly, a figure flashed by, and a fist appeared out of nowhere and swung at him.

In a hurry, he could only punch to greet him.

"boom!"

The violent force swallowed him instantly.

He flew out, hit the wall with a bang, and bounced back onto the bed.

"puff!"

Han Chuang spat out a mouthful of blood, his body seemed to be falling apart, and his body hurt everywhere.

With just one move, he was injured.

Moreover, he was seriously injured and completely lost his combat effectiveness.

What made him even more horrified was that the meridians in his whole body were blocked and he couldn't even move.

Only to be slaughtered.

"who are you?"

Han Chuang looked at Lu Fan in front of him with horror.

"Young Master sent me here."

Lu Fan lied on purpose.

"What did you say?"

Han Chuang was shocked and stared blankly at Lu Fan, "How is that possible?"

"The big one."

"Are you OK?"

There were hurried footsteps and exclamations outside.

Lu Fan turned and walked out of the room, just in time to meet several men in black who rushed in.

"Shh!"

As the light of the knife flashed, Lu Fan was already holding the knife in his hand.

The next moment, his body rushed forward, his wrist trembled slightly, and suddenly the shadow of the knife was heavy.

Accompanied by bursts of screams, several men in black fell down instantly.

Before Lu Fan walked out of the hall, he encountered more than a dozen men in black.

He didn't speak, and rushed into the crowd with a knife.

As the light of the knife fluttered and blood splashed everywhere, more than a dozen men in black kept falling down like harvested crops.

At this time, the Dragon Shadow Guards rushed into the hall.

"Su Mu, Song Yu, you two stay here."

Lu Fan pointed to the direction where Han Chuang was, and said, "Look at Han Chuang, and let him tell you something, and see if you can ask anything."

"I have wounded him and sealed his meridians."

"You two can handle him perfectly."

"Also, I said that I belong to the son, so you should say the same."

Speaking of this, Lu Fan waved his hand, "Go."

"Yes."

Su Mu and Song Yu agreed and left quickly.

"Everyone else came with me."

As Lu Fan spoke, he walked out of the main hall, "Let's go down from top to bottom, kill the generals, and join the friendly army."

"Yes."

Everyone followed Lu Fan out of the hall.

"kill!"

Dozens of men in black rushed over with their knives.

Lu Fan put away the saber, took off the bow, put on the arrow, and with a bang, the arrow had left the string.

Others have already held bows in their hands.

"Shhhhhh!"

Arrows rained down.

Before the men in black approached, they had already fallen down one after another.

"kill!"

There was a shout of killing from halfway up the mountain.

It was accompanied by screams, even howls.

Fire all over the place.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The drums were louder and more urgent.

There were shouts of killing everywhere, and there were bursts of desperate cries.

The horse thief was in a mess.

Crash at a touch.

The fighting power is simply not comparable to that of the Zhennan Army, let alone the Dragon Shadow Guard.

"kill!"

Lu Fan led the crowd to charge down.

When encountering horse thieves along the way, they all beheaded without mercy.

It didn't take long for the horse thieves to start to retreat, fleeing frantically down the mountain.

Seeing that the victory was decided, Lu Fan stopped.

"You continue to go down the mountain and hunt down the horse thief. I'll go to the back mountain to have a look."

"Yes."

The crowd agreed in unison.

"When you see Lord Commander, remember to tell him."

Lu Fan instructed: "Just say that there is a situation in the back mountain, and ask him to go and deal with it in person. And Han Chuang, also need to be handed over to the Commander."

"Yes."

Everyone turned and went down the mountain.

Lu Fan went down the mountain from the side, and quickly circled to the back mountain.

He rushed up the mountain as fast as he could.

Hearing movement.

There was a loud noise from the top of the mountain.

Not long after, hurried footsteps sounded, and more than a dozen men in black were running from the mountain.

"stop!"

"who?"

Seeing Lu Fan, everyone stopped and asked loudly.

Lu Fan didn't stop, didn't reply, and continued to move forward.

"Shh!"

The knife lights up.

Wherever Lu Fan went, men in black fell down one after another.

This is his best answer.
