C269 tacit understanding
After a long time of cleaning up, Shi Haowen and the rest finally set out on their journey. At the same time, there were shouts coming from their stomachs, the Yin and Yang in their bodies fluctuated, going up and down continuously.
He hadn't had the tools to start a fire. Even if he ate some non-toxic fruits to quench his hunger, for these big and burly men, those things were simply too insufferable. They ate until they were full, and ate until they were hungry.
Their goal for this trip was to travel a distance of about 10 miles to the north. There was a small col there, and not only was the terrain very steep, the surrounding forest trees were also very tall, so it was very easy to set up an ambush here. In order to give them sufficient time to prepare, they had even purposely slowed down their pace. In order for them to successfully ambush their group of people, this group of people had truly gone to great lengths to think of everything they could do.
"There shouldn't be any problems this time right?" As Shi Haowen walked, he surveyed his surroundings. He didn't look vigilant at all.
"It's about time. If we work together like this, the ambushers should be able to tactfully cooperate with us!" Guard Commander patted his chest and said solemnly.
"I hope so!" Shi Haowen was not too optimistic. Since the night of the previous day, their camp had not been attacked, nor did he see anyone other than them. Even Shi Haowen felt that the people who ambushed them had already flown far away, and were still foolishly waiting for them to deliver themselves to their doorstep.
"However, we can't be too careless. After all, many of us don't have any weapons, so we still need to rely on wooden sticks and stones!" But to be honest, although there were dozens of them, at the moment, more than half of them were on the ground. Forget about weapons, even if they had underwear on them, it would be more than enough to brag about it, so how could they face the enemy?
"When the time comes, we will act according to the original plan. As long as we see the person who ambushed us, we can immediately carry out the plan. There shouldn't be a problem. I want to see what decision they will make under this flawless plan." Shi Haowen commanded, and said with slight resentment.
"..." Guard Commander did not say anything. His face suddenly turned red, but that flush soon disappeared without a trace.

Lu Baihuan was not idle either, watching as the other party left one by one, he brought his own men to secretly follow, there was nothing to be done, the two people that he sent out had not received any news, the only thing they could do was to follow and take the chance to make their move.
However, what made Lu Baihuan gloomy was that these people were neither fast nor slow, they were simply like swimming in the sea, walking at their slowest speed, all the way until they stopped at every three meters, stopped every ten meters, and finally caught up to Lu Baihuan. After that, they started to give chase, and when they reached a distance, they would rest for a while, waiting for the other party to go further in their direction, they continued to chase.
This cycle continued. Only when he was not far from the cove did Lu Baihuan see the two people he had sent out to survey the terrain returning late.
"What took you so long?" Lu Baihuan asked unhappily.
"Reporting to Protector Lu, we have gone a long way north and there is no suitable place to ambush us. The only place is a small col not far away, and that is the narrowest road in the nearby mountain range. Moreover, the ground on both sides is slightly steep and the trees are dense, making it very easy for us to hide our tracks and find an opportunity to ambush them!"
"Remember to focus on it next time!" Come here, let's set up some missions! " Lu Baihuan first said this to the two of them with a serious tone, then lowered his voice and gathered everyone else around him as he spoke.
The disciples of the Blood Illusion Valley surrounded Lu Baihuan one by one, all of them staring at him with rapt attention, to the point that their breathing had become hurried, just waiting for Lu Baihuan to give the order to 'rob' them, these bunch of people would just scamper out, and start snatching things from him.
"According to our investigation, there is a small hill not far ahead. We will ambush them there!" Lu Baihuan took the lead and spoke as he pointed to a place not far away from them.
"How exactly?" Lu Baihuan's wife did not care about that, and quickly asked her husband about the arrangements for his actions.
"The two of you have seen it with your own eyes. Tell me the details of the cove over there!" Lu Baihuan did not speak, and instead spoke to the two who had just returned.
"Yes, that col is not really that big. It looks like a pocket shaped col, but in reality, there are steep mountain paths on both sides of the col. It's just that under the mountains on both sides, it looks like a col." There are many forests on both sides of the steep slope, making it very easy to hide. A sudden attack would definitely be hard for the other side to guard against. " One of them answered.
"Very well, in a while, I will lead my men to hide on the two sides of the slope and launch our first attack. At that time, they will definitely flee towards the north with their huge sum of money, while Madam will also bring a few people to guard the path they must take, to block their path. I will then lead my men to chase them from behind, at that time, when the two of us attack from the back, we will definitely annihilate all of them here!" According to the person's description, Lu Baihuan drew a rough outline on the ground, then used his finger to point at the lines drawn on the two sides of the map, and opened his mouth to arrange it, then pointed to the areas on the map that seemed to indicate a road, and said to his wife.
As he finished speaking, Lu Baihuan even made a gesture of "surround", indicating that it was impossible for the other party to escape. This gesture was simply akin to the fusion of one's hand and one's picture. It was akin to the fusion of qi and energy, as well as one's heart and will. At the same time that one's spirit was in high spirits, one's hands were dancing and one's spittle was flying everywhere.
"High, it's really high!" When the crowd heard this, they echoed his words.
"Cut the crap and hurry up and arrange everything. They're walking so slowly, this is simply a godsend opportunity!" Lu Baihuan interrupted everyone's voices. Although he was already feeling relaxed, time was of the essence, and he could only wait until everything was over before he stopped the people around him from preaching.
"Yes sir!" Everyone answered in unison.
"Right, Protector, how do we deal with those clothes, pants, and weapons?" Suddenly, a voice sounded, sounding a bit weak as it inquired. He pointed to a large bag that he had left in the distance while speaking as if he was about to vomit.
"Damn, why did you bring these as well?" "Are you stupid?" Lu Baihuan glanced at the bundle in the distance and could not help but scold in a low voice.
"This, you didn't say anything about throwing it. I thought it would be useful, so I carried it over!" The disciple felt a bit wronged. He had not complained all the way back because he had been scolded for not throwing it away earlier. How wronged was he!
Lu Baihuan was already at a loss for words. All along the way, he was still thinking, why was it that this smelly and special smell was' followed 'all the way? So the crux of the problem was that this brat was too honest. Since he had already found his target, why was he still bringing these trash around? Could it be that he still hadn't smelled enough?
"Didn't I say you couldn't throw it? "Hurry up and throw it as far away as you can. Don't let me see it again!" Lu Baihuan suppressed the anger in his heart. This was not the time to be dealing with such a trivial matter, now was the time to fight against time and reach the designated hiding spot.
"Yes, Protector!" The crowd once again acknowledged his order in unison.
"That idiot, where did he get that from!" As Lu Baihuan watched that person walk towards that reeking package by himself, he guessed that that person wanted to go and take care of it. Lu Baihuan was speechless to the extreme, as he raised his hand to increase the amount of his words.
"..." The surrounding people were also speechless. Was this person an idiot? That thing was left so far away, didn't it throw it away? What is this kid doing over there!
? ?.
Just as Lu Baihuan and the Blood Illusion Valley's disciples were about to set up a sneak attack, in the dense forest not too far away from them, two heads peeped out. Their faces were painted with a mix of black and green color, and their bodies were covered with green vegetation from top to bottom.
The two of them chatted from time to time as they paid attention to the two groups of people in front and behind.
"Who do you think can beat these two groups of people?" one of them asked.
"We'll know after we fight for a while!" Another person answered casually as he stared at the two groups of people with rapt attention.
"Aren't I letting you guess?" The previous one asked in a bored manner.
"Where should I guess? The first wave was obviously prepared to fall into his trap, and the second wave was also prepared to fall into his trap! I've never seen two groups of idiots who cooperate so well! " Another person turned around and replied with a speechless expression.
"Yeah!" It makes me, the spectator, so conflicted! " The one who spoke up first said in agreement.
"What does it have to do with you? Why are you so conflicted?" The other one asked in confusion.
"How can I not be conflicted? Before I left, I placed my bets on the Blood Illusion Valley and was about to reveal the answer. My heart is already in my throat! " The man explained.
"Look how smart I am. I bet on both sides. I won't lose out on either side. Even if I earn less, it's still better than losing money!" Another person replied in disdain.
"Ah, what a regret! I hope the Blood Illusion Valley can earn some strength and lose half of his people in the first round! " When the person heard this, he immediately pounded his chest.
"Stop dreaming, but I am also curious, how do you think these unarmed guards, who are mostly naked, are going to deal with the Blood Illusion Valley disciples with powerful abilities?" Another man said as he stared at the receding guards.
"Seeing how confident they are and how they are trying to lure us into their trap, I guess their plans will be very powerful. We have to be careful not to fall into their trap!" The first person to speak seemed to be deep in thought as he replied.
"Don't worry, no matter how great their plan is, we are only watching from a distance. It shouldn't affect us! This is also a chance for us to learn. Look at these people from the Duke Palaces. I'll be waiting to see. " The other person also considered it, but he couldn't figure out how to deal with it if he encountered such a situation. Therefore, he felt that this group of people from the Prince's Mansion was especially mysterious.
"I will follow what you said and become more relaxed. Although I've bet on the victory of the Blood Illusion Valley s, I'm also curious as to how the Duke Palaces are going to execute it." The person who spoke first also became interested and replied with a little curiosity.
