In the warm spring sunshine, the boat carried all the members of the squad to North Korea on the other side of the Yalu River.

The landing point is located in a small woodland. The reason why I chose this more hidden place to go ashore is because fishing villages are everywhere on the other side of the Yalu River. Luo Shiyin did not want to expose the arrival of the team too early. Before leaving the capital, Luo Shiyin informed the small court of North Korea through top-secret channels and told the other party not to hold large-scale welcoming activities on the border, so as not to expose the team whereabouts too early.

With a thousand eyes and a wind-like ear, the boat was supported to the shore. The small team members went ashore one by one. Shi Lang's injuries were not healed, and he could barely get ashore with Ye Ruliu's support.

This is a pine forest. The pine varieties are mostly clustered pine and land pine, and there are also a few tall cedar and black pine.

Perhaps because it is close to the riverside, the forest is a little wet. As soon as you walk into the forest, a special smell of moldy leaves comes to your nose.

"It's so cool!" Shi Tianji unbuttoned his collar and enjoyed the cool breath of the forest. As soon as he finished speaking, Tiaodiao suddenly soared into the air like frightened, jumping up to a tall pine tree, and occasionally let out a warning "Woo, Woo" from his mouth.

"Be careful, everyone!" Bawu reminded everyone.

The small team members did not dare to neglect, and pulled out their weapons and hid behind the tree. "Swoosh, swosh, swosh..." With a harsh roar, countless ninjas shurikens shot towards the small team members from the forest in front. Everyone hid behind the tree and looked forward alertly. About ten meters ahead, more than a dozen people in black stealth suits were hiding behind the tree and firing hidden weapons at the small team members.

"It's them again. Miss Ye and Xie Yuan are responsible for taking care of Shi Lang, and the others are surrounded by me." Luo Shiyin immediately concluded that the other party was a Japanese ninja. He quickly made arrangements, and then used gestures to send their respective attack routes to Shi Tianji, Du Heng, Bawu, Hua Zu and Qianliyan Shunfeng'er.

The jumping between the branches of the tall pine trees is also the focus of the enemy behind the trees in front and ready for battle.

Shi Tianji, Du Heng and others followed Luo Shiyin's instructions to find the best attack position, and then used the complex terrain and bushes in the forest as cover to move around and quickly force the Japanese ninjas in front.

The Japanese ninjas hiding behind the tree did not seem to be in a hurry to attack. They used the big tree as cover and kept firing Shuriken at the small team members who were forcing them.

The ninja Shuriken that flew towards the sky blocked the pace of the small team members. Although they tried to approach the Japanese ninja behind the tree several times, they had no choice but to suppress them again and again, and could not attack the opponent.

In the stalemate between the two sides, Tiaotiao was the first to find a fighter opportunity and break the deadlock. It used the branches under it as a springboard and quickly jumped to the big tree where a ninja was hiding with lightning speed. The Japanese ninja under the tree had not yet reacted. Tiaotiao had already flew down from the top of the tree and grabbed the ninja's eyes with its sharp front paws. The ninja was busy projecting Shuriken at the small team member, and suddenly felt a huge black shadow pounce on him. He instinctively hid his head to one side, avoiding the sharp blow of Tiaotiao. Tiaotiao missed the blow and pressed the opponent to the ground. The two sides fought together on the ground. Another ninja saw his companion being pressed by a monkey.

He was not allowed to escape from the ground, so he rushed over to support him. Tiaotiao was not interested in fighting, so he threw down his opponent and stood up to fight the ninja who was coming to support him. The ninja swung his knife and slashed at Tiaotiao. Tiaotiao skillfully avoided the opponent's blade, and then jumped to the other Japanese ninjas. The Japanese ninjas realized that the monkey in front of him was not in a hurry to kill the opponent, but came to disrupt their formation. The monkey kept jumping up and down among them, making it difficult for them to concentrate on dealing with the Ming Jinyiwei who was about to attack in front of him. They also wanted to use the weapons in their hands to quickly kill the annoying monkey, but the figure that jumped as fast as lightning made it difficult for them to capture the murderous intent.

Seeing that the formation of the Japanese ninja was disturbed by jumping, Luo Shiyin, Shi Tianji and others immediately flew to the death. For a moment, the two sides started a face-to-face battle in the wet forest.

Although the squad is at a disadvantage in terms of number of people, its strong combat effectiveness and jumping air support have an advantage in the overall situation of the battle. During the fight, Japanese ninjas are often beaten to death by small team members.

While the two sides were in a melee, Shi Lang, who was not far away, was also attacked by five Japanese ninjas who suddenly emerged from behind. Shi Lang was seriously injured and could not meet the enemy. Ye Ruliu had to ask Xie Yuan to support Shi Lang and hide behind a big tree, and face the siege of five ninjas on the other side alone.

It seems that these five ninjas are pursuing Shi Lang alive. In the fight, they always try to break through the defense line built by Ye Ruliu to protect Shi Lang as soon as possible so as to get close to Shi Lang and take the opportunity to take action. Ye Ruliu had already seen the opponent's intentions, and she blocked left and right to prevent the opponent from approaching Shi Lang.

When Shi Lang saw Ye Ruliu fighting alone, he wanted to stand up and go for reinforcements, but he tried several times but failed to stand firm.

Although Ye Ruliu killed a Japanese ninja, she was still feeling tired under the siege of the other four Japanese ninjas. At this time, the other small team members were fighting fiercely with the Japanese ninjas, and it was difficult for them to come to support Ye Ruliu for a while, so she had to fight and retreat. The four Japanese ninjas approached Shi Lang's position step by step.

Ye Ruliu was fighting against four enemies. She quickly thought about the countermeasures to effectively protect Shi Lang during the fight. Suddenly, she found that from dozens of meters behind the four ninjas, three masked men were rushing toward the forest with their swords. The three of them came close, and without saying a word, swung their swords toward the three Japanese ninjas attacking Ye Ruliu. The Japanese were attacked from front and back and had to hurry up. With the addition of reinforcements, the battle situation suddenly changed, and Ye Ruliu changed from the original one-on-four to the current four-on-four. The three strangers who came to reinforce Ye Ruliu seemed to be a long-standing person. After a few rounds, they cut the three Japanese ninjas in front of them to the ground. Ye Ruliu also saw the opportunity and looked back at the moon with one move, stabbed the Japanese ninja who attacked her to death.

"Thank you, the three benefactors, for helping you!" Ye Ruliu looked at the three masked men walking in front of her and thanked her.

"You're welcome. You're a small team of the Ming Dynasty, aren't you?" the tall man of the three masked men asked.

Ye Ruliu didn't understand the other party's words, she could only vaguely tell that the other party seemed to be speaking Korean.

At this time, Xie Yuan came over. He had just understood the masked man's question, and then asked in fluent Korean: "Are you three..."

"We came to pick up the Ming squad at the order of the king. We just heard the fighting sounds in the woods outside. Seeing you fighting with the Japanese, we rushed over to support us." The tall masked man replied.

At this time, Luo Shiyin and other small team members had also wiped out the enemy and came over.

"Sir, they are the North Korean representatives who came to pick us up." Xie Yuan saw Luo Shiyin coming over and quickly reported.

Under Xie Yuan's translation, Luo Shiyin started a conversation with the other party.

"May I ask..." Luo Shiyin asked at the tall man who was walking towards him while taking off the cover.

"We came to pick up the Ming Dynasty team secretly at the order of the King of Korea, and have been waiting here for many days. My name is Li Ruzhu, and I am a general of the Pyongyang garrison. These two are my subordinates." The tall man replied. The other two had also taken off their covers and greeted the small team members present with a smile.

"What token do you have?" Luo Shiyin still looked cautious.

"Yes. Then you..." The man who claimed to be Li Ruzhu said, took out a high relief round jade bi from his arms. Luo Shise also took out a same jade bi from his arms. After the two exchanged the jade bi in their hands, the man who claimed to be Li Ruzhu immediately bowed to the small team members and said, "I hope to forgive you if you are sent to you later!"

"General Li Shen, please get up quickly!" After confirming that the jade bi in the other party's hand was correct, Luo Shiyin signaled Li Ruzhu and his men to get up without any gifts.

Before leaving the capital, Luo Shiyin agreed to the North Korean King Lee Kyung through reliable secret channels: the North Korean side sent reliable people to secretly pick up the team at the border. After meeting, both sides used specific jade bi to determine the other party's identity.

After clarifying the identities of both parties, Luo Shiyin walked to Shi Lang to ask about Shi Lang's injury. Due to the failure to bandage it in time after the injury, excessive bleeding caused by excessive bleeding. Shi Lang's body was very weak.

"General Li Shen, how far is this place from Yizhou?" Luo Shiyin asked Li Ruzhu under Xie Yuan's translation.

"Sir, although this place is not far from Yizhou, it is mostly rugged mountain roads along the way, and it is difficult to walk." Li Ruzhu replied truthfully.

"Sir, no problem. I can leave." Shi Lang saw that Luo Shiyin was considering his injury. He didn't want the team's itinerary to be affected by his own reasons, so he tried to stand up, but as soon as he stood up, he felt head-heavy and almost fell down. Ye Ruliu quickly helped Shi Lang firmly.

"Shi Lang, don't force it. Miss Ye, please help Shi Lang and sit down and rest first." Luo Shiyin said to Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu.

Shi Lang had no choice but to sit down.

"General Li Shen, are you familiar with the situation around here? Are there any more familiar and reliable families?" Luo Shiyin asked Li Ruzhu.

"There are mostly remote mountain villages nearby. I have a distant cousin living in the nearby village. There are no one else in her family, only her and her daughter. The people in the village are also kind and responsible."

"Then is this village safe?" Luo Shiyin asked further.

"This village is located in a valley and is almost isolated from the world. Most of the villagers are honest and honest villagers, so there should be no problem with safety." Li Ruzhu replied.

"Then, Shi Lang, you stay for the time being to recuperate, and Miss Ye will accompany you. I and the other team members will take the lead and rush to Yizhou to meet the North Korean king to determine the next reconnaissance operation as soon as possible. When your injury is healed, come and meet with us." Luo Shiyin said to Shi Lang.

"Sir, I can do it." Shi Lang still wanted to try to stand up, but failed.

"Brother Shi Lang, just follow the arrangements of the lord, don't force yourself." Ye Ruliu helped Shi Lang sit down.

"Shi Lang, you should be relieved first. After the team's action route is determined, I will notify you and Miss Ye in time." Luo Shiyin squatted down and said to Shi Lang.

"Then... I obey the order. Take care of myself, sir."

"Okay, that's it. General Li Shen, you are leading the way in front, and we immediately rushed to the village you mentioned so that Shi Lang can rest earlier."

Luo Shiyin made such a decision out of helplessness. On the one hand, keeping Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu alone, Luo Shiyin would be in danger; on the other hand, the emperor was dispatching troops to actively prepare for war, and it was urgent to investigate the enemy situation of the Japanese invading North Korea. The squad had to complete the reconnaissance mission before the Ming Xiong Army entered North Korea. Fortunately, after listening to Li Ruzhu's introduction, Luo Shiyin was quite satisfied with the mountain village that Li Ruzhu said. After weighing the pros and cons, he decided to let Shi Lang live and recuperate in this small mountain village. After all, with Shi Lang's current physical condition, if he barely traveled on the rugged mountain road, he would be in danger of his life.
