C268 Placement

Not long after, the two of them soundlessly touched the place where the sentries were kept. Lu Baihuan looked in that direction carefully, and in the darkness, he could not see anything clearly. However, he could vaguely make out a few figures moving around, and was sure that there was someone there.

But what Lu Baihuan could not understand was why these people did not even start a fire at night to keep warm. Was it also because he was afraid of exposing his whereabouts? But that's not right. The nights in the mountains were especially cold, especially the latter half of the night. That kind of cold could freeze to the bone.

"Arrange for people to keep an eye on them at all times, don't let them leave your line of sight!" I'll go back and arrange some people. Let's rest for the night and start tomorrow night! " After looking for a long time, Lu Baihuan was still able to tell whether it was the other party or not. He was afraid that if he acted rashly, he would alert the snake and it would be even more difficult to do so.

"Yes, Protector Lu!" The guard at the side lowered his voice and replied.

This night was full of apocalypse, and very soon, it was morning. The sun slowly rose and shone through the forest, driving away the darkness and bringing with it light.

Lu Baihuan woke up very early, of course, whoever was in front of such a large sum of money would probably not be able to sleep soundly in excitement, so he had already run to the place where they were monitoring their movements. There were two people currently monitoring them, and if they did not come to report earlier, they would have already changed shifts.

When he looked over there, he could see the entire situation clearly. More than a dozen naked people were shivering from the cold, and their faces were deathly pale. Even the ones with clothes were fighting with their upper and lower lips from the cold.

Not far from them, there were more than 20 large boxes. Looking at how deep the ruts had sunk into the soil, one could tell that these boxes were filled with something very heavy.

More than half of these people didn't bring any weapons with them, while some of them carried weapons. From the style of their weapons, they looked very similar to the weapons they had picked up along the way, as if they were specially made weapons.

Only two types of weapons could be used by those with the same standard. The first was that of a large gang, and their disciples had to wear the same uniform of service and use the same uniform of weapon, except of course for some direct disciples and inner disciples. The other method was for the people of the imperial government. Whether it was the guards of the manor or the soldiers of the army, they would all use a standard weapon.

At this moment, in Lu Baihuan's heart, he simply could not think of who these people were, or where they came from. Even if it was the Heavenly Emperor himself, he would still break their opponent's two front teeth. At this moment, all he had in his eyes was the shining silver. That was the ultimate goal of his hard work these past few days.

"Go inform our people. Prepare yourself, we'll attack later!" Try your best to take down the other party in one shot, but don't leave a single person alive! "

"Yes, Protector Lu!"

After one of them accepted the order and left, Lu Baihuan also started to observe the terrain. After all, the other side had dozens of big sized men, although all of them had frozen pale faces, but they were still human, if they were to fight with their lives on the line, inevitably someone on his side would not lose anything, and this was not something he wanted to see.

The only way to reduce the casualties was to choose a method of attack. In the first round of sneak attacks, they had to eliminate at least half of their enemies. Otherwise, no matter how strong their enemies were, they might not be able to kill all of them.

Thinking about that, Lu Baihuan started to look even more carefully for an ambush location, but what was even more deceptive was that the person in the lead was a very old Taoist, the location that he had chosen to station himself at was extremely painful to Lu Baihuan, as his surroundings were the closest to where he could hide his people, he would probably fly for a while even if he threw a rock. If he were to choose to ambush his opponent here, he would probably be discovered the moment he shows his face.

Looking at the terrain here, then assessing the numbers and fighting strength of both sides, Lu Baihuan helplessly shook his head. He decided to give up the attack here and now, because he was not completely sure that he could completely destroy the other party.

"Brother Huan, everyone is here, when are we going to make a move?" Just as Lu Baihuan was shaking his head and sighing bitterly, his wife, along with everyone else, silently sneaked to Lu Baihuan's side and asked him in a small voice.

"Attack my ass! Look at their current location, sneak attacks are impossible, and we might even lose some of our men!" Lu Baihuan scolded in a low voice.

"Then let's not sneak attack, can't we just directly go up and snatch it?" Lu Baihuan's wife looked at his husband in shock and asked in confusion.

"Did you take your head out? This kind of bullshit can even be said, what if they run away? Even if only one of them runs away, it's not something we can bear! " Lu Baihuan really wanted to slap her, firstly, he was afraid of alarming his, and secondly, he was afraid of his wife's family. Although her words were extremely rude, he couldn't make a move, of course it was during the time they were making love, otherwise, not to mention scolding her, even if he had slapped her a few times, she wouldn't be able to do anything to him.

"Then what should we do? Are we going to just let this cooked duck fly? " 's wife didn't seem to mind at all. She was already fast asleep, and so on, her brain was very slow at the moment. When she heard that she had found a target, she immediately stood up and came over, not caring about the contents of her husband's words at all. That five hundred thousand silver was what she was most concerned about.

"Of course not, but we can't fight here either. You two, head north along that road and see if there are any suitable places for an ambush!" Lu Baihuan stared intently at them, seeing that they were getting ready to pack their things, he reckoned that they would be on their way soon, so he instructed the two Blood Illusion Valley disciples.

"Yes sir!" The two of them responded in a low voice. Then, they crawled their way to the bottom of the gentle slope. After that, they made a large circle and headed towards the north.

"What about us?" Lu Baihuan's wife asked. Her anxious thoughts and greedy desires could no longer be suppressed by reason.

"Watch them over here and follow them. There will be opportunities that suit us!" This huge sum of money will definitely not go away! " Lu Baihuan's eyes revealed a fierce light, he stared at the 20 odd big boxes and spoke with a look that said he was determined to win.

At the same time, Shi Haowen and the Duke Palaces woke up one after another. Both of them had not slept well that night, and it was not because someone had attacked their camp and disturbed their sleep, but because no one had come to attack their camp and disturbed their sleep, they had waited for the whole night for nothing.

Firstly, they wanted to know the identity of the other party, and secondly, they wanted to find out the exact identity of the other party. This way, they could annihilate the other party in one go, and if they couldn't, they had to at least get rid of the other party's life force, even if it would be a serious injury, as long as they were given a chance to escape, they could probably gather with the rest of the army in a few days. At that time, who would still dare to covet such a huge sum of money?

However, what they regretted was that the other party did not arrive as planned. Instead, they had toiled and pretended to sleep for the better part of the night. When dawn arrived, all of them could no longer hold on and slept like dead pigs.

"Could it be that the other side discovered our ambush and didn't ambush us?" Shi Haowen opened his mouth and asked Guard Commander beside him. He couldn't sleep at all even with his eyes closed the entire night, he had truly suffered quite a bit.

"Impossible, our preparations were sufficient. The other side has no reason to discover our plan." Guard Commander shook his head, rejecting Shi Haowen's suggestion.

"Then why not sneak attack us?" Shi Haowen frowned, and asked unhappily. It was as if no one had snuck in a sneak attack on them, which made them feel extremely displeased.

"Huh?" Guard Commander looked around, and suddenly let out a suspicious sound, as if he had found something.

"What did you find?" Shi Haowen who was at the side, imitated Guard Commander, and looked around, but did not see anything, thus he asked in confusion.

"I think I know why they didn't attack us!" Guard Commander said, suddenly enlightened.

"You know? What is it for? " Shi Haowen still did not understand.

He looked at his surroundings again, but didn't find anything out of the ordinary. Afterwards, he urged the Guard Commander to ask this.

"Look around where we were stationed last night!" Guard Commander pointed to the surroundings of his camp and said to Shi Haowen.

"No problem. We are in a rather broad and flat area!" Shi Haowen looked around for the third time, but still didn't understand Guard Commander's words, and spoke up.

"This is the crux of the problem. The nearest slope is 50 to 80 meters away, and once they show up at this distance, our people will immediately notice them. They won't be able to use a pre-emptive strike at all!" Guard Commander nodded and explained.

"Did you choose this place?" Shi Haowen also understood what was going on. He didn't have a nose, and he didn't have a face to retort to Guard Commander.

"I'm used to it, I'm used to it!" Guard Commander scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, then said with an awkward expression.

"What do we do now? We can't go too far from here!" Shi Haowen did not continue to pursue the matter. Right now was not the time to 'settle the score', at least after finishing the mission and returning back, the two of them were on the same boat. As long as this boat did not land, the two of them could die together with this' big boat 'at any time. Therefore, the current situation was a result of both sides' tacit agreement to unite against the same enemy.

"I know that! "I remember when we were surveying the terrain, I found that there is a cove in the north, which is definitely a good place for us to be ambushed. If not, we could have taken a detour there. As long as they appear, half of our plan would have been completed!" Guard Commander grabbed Shi Haowen and squatted on the ground again, found a short wooden stick, and started drawing on the ground while explaining to Shi Haowen.

"What if the other party still doesn't show himself?" Shi Haowen asked the question that troubled him once again. Calculating the time, they should be leaving the place, they couldn't possibly be stuck here because there were no sneak attacks, right? After all, the rendezvous point was not too far away and the journey to the rendezvous point would take at least a few more days. He could not afford to be delayed by anything along the way. After all, there were a lot of people waiting for them in the private army. Otherwise, they would be exposed for sure.

"If you still don't show yourself, then find a place where you can be ambushed and set up camp tonight!" Guard Commander consoled Shi Haowen.

"Alright, let's hurry up and set off for the place you mentioned!" Hearing the other party's words, Shi Haowen nodded his head in agreement.

If it wasn't for the fact that these two people were rational, anyone who heard the conversation between these two people would probably be unable to resist giving these two people a gift! Just by thinking about it, Zhang Xuan knew that there was someone who had nothing better to do, especially studying questions such as' Where did you get ambushed? Where did you get ambushed '. It's completely a 'persecuted paranoia,' and it's beyond cure.

They all said, "If there are no difficulties, then there must be difficulties." It was very appropriate for these two people to have trouble. Didn't they say that they didn't have any 'sneak attacks', and wanted to create 'sneak attacks' as well?
