Chapter 74: Traces of the Scouts
"Your Highness, there are traces of scouts outside the county town!"
Hearing the news from the guards, Li Chengming raised his eyebrows, looked down at his watch, and found that it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon, so he spoke, "How many people are there?"
Li Chengming was not too surprised by the appearance of scouts. After all, he made a big fuss in Chang'an last night. Li Shimin did not send a large army to chase them, but if he did not send a scout to track them down, it would be mentally retarded.
"When you go back to your highness, we dare not get too close. We can only see dozens of people!" said the guard.
"Okay, take me to see!" Li Chengming pondered for a moment, then jumped out of the carriage.
"Your Highness, this is not a matter. Your Highness, you are a body of gold. If you have a chance, you will be extremely depressed." A middle-aged man who was the leader of Li Chengming's guard said with a bitter face.
The guards are really having trouble saying that they have such a master who always wants to take risks in person.
"No, these people must have been sent by Li Shimin. If they were asked to go back like this, our whereabouts would be revealed. If Li Shimin sent a large army to fight, do you think we, a thousand people, can we resist?" Li Chengming shook his head.
"Your Highness, Your Highness!" Seeing that Li Chengming was determined to go, the middle-aged guard was anxious and stopped Li Chengming and said, "Your Highness, why should you inform General Xue and ask him to send people to encircle and suppress him, so that it will be foolproof. Why should you go and take risks yourself?"
After hearing this, Li Chengming pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It's still not possible. At this time, Xue Wanche is the time to rectify military affairs. He is afraid that the troops in his hands are not enough. If he mobilizes them to encircle and suppress the scammers, he is afraid that the county will be in chaos by then. No, I'd better go there in person."
"Okay, I have decided to do it, so there is no need to persuade me anymore. This is my order. You should get on the horse and take me here!" The guard wanted to persuade him, but Li Chengming interrupted him directly, then jumped to his horse and said immediately.
Seeing that Li Chengming had issued an order, the middle-aged guard did not dare to say more. His Royal Highness is not a real six-year-old child. If he really killed someone, he would probably not even be able to beat him.
But as a guard, he naturally could not let his master take risks, so he could not stop him. But if Li Chengming really decided, he would not be able to stop him.
There was no choice but to jump onto the horse, and then take Li Chengming behind the guard who reported the news and head out of the county town.
The group hurriedly passed by the street, went out through another city gate, and walked around it, and then arrived at the place where Qi Bin and others were before.
This is a forest not far from the county town. Because the pig Gangwen is huge and difficult to hide, Qi Bin took it to this forest.
"See Your Highness!" Seeing Li Chengming appear, Qi Bin and others were shocked at first, and then hurried over to meet and pay tribute.
"No need to be polite!" Li Cheng clearly waved his hand and held it on the saddle, and later people jumped off the horse directly.
The pig Gangli, who was eating on the ground, seemed to be looking for food, ran over after seeing Li Chengming.
"Okay, okay, I understand. Let them get you some food later, right?" Because of the system, Li Chengming could understand Zhu Gangli's meaning slightly. This guy came over and said he was hungry and couldn't find anything to eat here.
This was also Li Chengming's negligence. He forgot that Zhu Gangli's appetite was not something that could be found casually. He turned around and looked at the middle-aged guard behind him and said, "Wang Hu, please come back to the county town and find a few buckets of food and meat, and then send it here to feed Zhu Gangli!"
"Yes, Your Highness!" the middle-aged guard quickly clasped his fists.
After giving Zhu Gangli food, Li Chengming looked at Qi Bin on the side and said, "Qi Bin, I heard that you have discovered the scout, where are you?"
"Your Highness, please follow the humble ones. These people are cautious in their behavior, and they dare not get too close to each other!" As he said that, under the leadership of Qi Bin, Li Chengming followed Qi Bin into the forest, then walked hundreds of meters before he stopped in a huge rock and pointed to the front, "Look at your best, those people are there!"
As Qi Bin pointed out, Li Chengming looked up and saw some walking horses and some people vaguely between a forest on the official road on the other side.
Seeing these figures, Li Chengming narrowed his eyes slightly, and his originally pitch-black pupils suddenly turned into blood. Then he clearly saw the figures in the forest about two or three miles away. All the war horses were lightly equipped, and there were only some dry food and water. The figures were wearing leather armor, with horizontal swords on their waists, strong crossbows in their hands, and weapons like daggers under their feet.
"One, two, three...forty-seven, forty-eight, forty-nine..." Li Chengming's lips moved slightly and began to count one by one.
"Your Highness, what are you counting?" Qi Bin, who was behind Li Chengming, heard Li Chengming counting and asked carefully.
"It's nothing. I'm just counting how many of them are!" Li Chengming said casually.
When Qi Bin heard Li Chengming's words, he was shocked. You should know that this place is two or three miles away from those scouts. Even the war horses he saw were not much larger than chickens, and the people were much smaller. But His Highness could see clearly?!
"Your Highness is indeed an immortal descending to earth!" Qi Bin thought excitedly.
Li Chengming couldn't imagine what Qi Bin was thinking. After seeing the number of scouts clearly, he closed the Sharingan, then turned around and whispered to the guards behind him, "There are 50 people in total in this group of scouts. I will take them down later. You will come out again. Do you understand?"
"This... Your Highness, no, these scouts are all elite soldiers at first sight. It's too dangerous for one person. Why don't we ask General Xue to send someone to encircle and suppress him?" Hearing Li Chengming's words, the guards were shocked, and then Wang Hu begged with a bitter face.
"No, I have the confidence to take down these people!" Li Cheng waved his hand and said with confidence.
It’s not that Li Chengming was too arrogant, but with his current strength, not to mention dealing with fifty scouts, he had the confidence to deal with it even if he was twice as many as he did. After all, he has broken through to the strength of the Zhongnin, and he has just integrated so many ninjutsu physical skills and skills, so he can have the opportunity to try it out again.
"Okay, wait a moment, I will take these people down soon!" Li Chengming said, and without waiting for the guard's reaction, his feet condensed chakra, jumped directly to the tree, and then headed towards a group of scouts at the foot of the mountain like a light ape...
