Chapter 753

Tang Yin led Yin Lan to track An Jun's whereabouts in the woods. Based on the traces and clues left by An Jun, he could judge that the main force of An Jun had withdrawn from the Chigou area, but a small number of troops were still left behind. There should be no more than a thousand people. *.*

He didn't know what An Jun's purpose was in leaving these troops, but he could make a rough guess without thinking too hard. He probably wanted to ambush his side somewhere.

Tang Yin did not intend to track the main force of the An army that had withdrawn from Chigou. There was no point in tracking it. His target was the small An army that stayed in Chigou.

This group of An army was very elite, perhaps very good at evading tracking. Along the way, they left very few clues. Only by careful observation and searching could one find out the food residues, feces and other objects they buried underground.

Tang Yin and Yin Lan walked in the forest for another full day and night. The forest gradually became dominated by maple trees. It is autumn now, and the maple leaves have turned orange. Looking around, the forest is covered with golden yellow, and the scenery is really charming.

Seeing such beautiful scenery, Yin Lan temporarily forgot about the fatigue of the journey. She said excitedly: "It's so beautiful, it feels like I'm back in my hometown!" In the mainland of Feng Country, maple trees are one of the most common trees.

Tang Yin smiled when he heard this, and said casually while looking around: "If you feel homesick, wait until this war is over, then go home and have a look."

Yin Lan asked: "Will the king also go back?" After saying that, she immediately realized that what she said was nonsense. The capital had been moved to Zhenjiang, and of course the king would not return to Fengdi.

Unexpectedly, Tang Yin actually nodded and sighed: "I also want to go back to Fengdi to see it!"

Yin Lan was surprised and happy, and said: "Then I can accompany the king back to Fengdi..."

Before she finished speaking, Tang Yin suddenly raised his hand to stop what she was about to say. Then he walked to a maple tree, squatted down, looked at it carefully for a long time, reached out and took off a small piece of bark and put it to his nose. Next, I smelled it carefully.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Yin Lan stepped forward quickly and asked curiously in a low voice.

"It's human urine. It hasn't been long yet. The An Bing we are tracking should be in this area." As he spoke, Tang Yin squinted his eyes and slowly looked around. After watching for a while, he said without looking back: "You stay here and wait for me, I will come back as soon as I go!"

After he finished speaking, a layer of black mist suddenly spread out around him, and then the person disappeared.

"Big..." Yin Lan wanted to stop Tang Yin, but as soon as the words came out, Tang Yin was nowhere to be seen.

Tang Yin moved away quickly with his shadow drifting. His figure appeared and disappeared in the woods, erratic, like a ghost or a whirlwind.

He ran forward for about two cups of tea, paused, and stopped on a tree branch. Then, he looked at the grass not far in front of him.

The grass is very dense and nothing else can be seen except weeds. Tang Yin squinted his eyes for a moment, then slowly raised his hand, gently broke off a branch, then flicked his wrist and threw the branch away from his hand, clatter! The branch shot into the grass and made a slight sound. Almost at the same time, two figures suddenly emerged from the grass in front of him. Then, there were several more crisp sounds, and four crossbow arrows flew out at once. It shot into the grass behind Tang Yin.

After the two figures each fired two crossbow arrows, they walked over cautiously, holding the crossbow in one hand and the sword in the other.

"Did you see anyone?" "No! I just heard a noise!" "Me too!"

The two of them were talking, walking slowly under Tang Yin's feet, and cautiously came to the grass. They observed it quietly for a while, and then swept inside with the sword in their hands. Nothing was found. The talent breathed a sigh of relief.

They put away their swords, turned around and waved, saying: "There is no one, it's just a false alarm!"

"Damn it, I'm telling you, Feng Jun can't catch up here!" Following the words, three more people stood up in the grass in front of Tang Yin, all dressed as An Jun, just like the two people just now, they were both Holding a crossbow in one hand and a sword in the other.

"The Lord Commander has already told us to be careful, we can't be careless!" The two people who came before hung the crossbow machine back on their belts and walked back.

When the two of them reached Tang Yin's feet again, he leaned back from squatting on the tree branch and fell straight back. His body turned over in the air. When he landed, he happened to be standing in front of the two Ans. Behind the soldiers.

The three soldiers on the opposite side saw this clearly and were also startled. Before they could react, Tang Yin reached out with both hands and grabbed the backs of the necks of the two soldiers.

As the thoughts turned, the fire of darkness was born, and the two soldiers screamed strangely, and then their bodies softened.

"Who..." The three security guards on the opposite side finally came to their senses, subconsciously raised their crossbows and pointed them at Tang Yin.

Before they could pull the trigger, Tang Yin had disappeared in front of them. The three of them felt the cold air behind them. They instinctively turned their heads to take a look, and were frightened to death. The enemy who was in front of them just now has now appeared behind them.

"Ah -" the three of them screamed in surprise, but soon stopped abruptly. Tang Yin's palms pressed on the faces of the two An soldiers respectively. The two men twitched violently, and then walked away. Following in the footsteps of the two previous companions.

The last remaining An Bing turned pale and stepped back. His feet suddenly slipped and he became unstable and fell to the ground. Just as he was about to get up from the ground, Tang Yin rushed to him in an instant. Their faces were facing each other, and their noses were almost touching.

At first he was stunned for a moment, and then the An soldier screamed as if he had seen a ghost, sitting on the ground and rubbing his back repeatedly.

Tang Yin sneered, strode forward, and kicked An Bing on the cheek. The latter fell to the ground with a grunt, his eyes rolled up, and fainted on the spot.

He looked around, then dragged all four An soldiers' bodies into the bushes, picked up the unconscious An soldier, and walked back.

He knew very well that he would bring these An soldiers back to meet Yin Lan. After seeing Yin Lan, he threw An Bing to the ground, raised his head and said: "Wake him up, and then interrogate him!" As he spoke, he sat cross-legged under the tree, closed his eyes, and began to meditate.

Yin Lan blinked her eyes. She had no idea what had happened. The king had not been away for a long time and he had captured an An soldier back. This was incredible.

However, seeing that Tang Yin had no intention of saying more, she did not dare to ask more. Looking at the unconscious An Bing, she pressed his philtrum hard. Not long after, the An Bing slowly woke up.

He screamed at first, looking at Yin Lan with fear in his eyes, then he turned over and got up from the ground, and saw Tang Yin sitting cross-legged not far away. He just stood up and his body softened, and he fell to the ground again with a plop.

Obviously, this An Bing was frightened by the king just now. Yin Lan laughed secretly, raised her palm, slapped An Bing's face hard, and said coldly: "If you want to live, answer my questions obediently!"

An Bing swallowed his saliva and looked at Yin Lan blankly. She frowned, drew out her sword, and put it on An Bing's neck, and asked in a deep voice: "Didn't you hear what I said?"

Feeling the stinging pain in his neck, An Bing shuddered and instinctively shrank back, saying in a hurry: "I heard it, I heard it, I heard it..."

"Humph!" Yin Lan snorted coldly and said: "Tell me, how many people are there in total? What do you want to do hiding in the woods?"

The An Bing first looked at Yin Lan, then glanced at Tang Yin, rolled his eyes, and replied in a trembling voice: "We... We are..." Before he finished speaking, he pushed Yin Lan with all his strength, then jumped up from the ground, turned around and ran.

He was fast, but not as fast as Yin Lan. The latter had a gleam in her eyes, and took two steps at a time to catch up with An Bing from behind, kicking him in the back, and then heard a plop, An Bing fell to the ground, his face and mouth covered with mud. Yin Lan was not polite, and stabbed with a sword, hitting An Bing in the ribs.

Puff! The sword pierced through the armor and deeply penetrated An Bing's body. The latter screamed like a pig being slaughtered, screaming: "Girl, spare me, girl, spare me——"

Yin Lan's sword deliberately avoided the opponent's vital points. Although it hurt him, it did not take his life.

She pulled the sword out of his body coldly, shook off the blood on the sword, and said coldly: "You'd better be honest. If you want to run again, my next sword will stab you in the head!"

"Yes, yes, yes! I dare not..." An Bing covered the wound under his ribs with both hands, and his body trembled with pain.

Yin Lan sheathed her sword and took out a bottle of golden medicine from her bosom, saying: "Your injury is not fatal, but if it is not treated in time, it will still cost you your life due to excessive blood loss. So, whether you can survive depends on how fast you answer the questions. If you answer quickly, these golden medicines can stop your bleeding. If you answer slowly, you will have to go to hell." An Bing was so scared that his face turned pale, and he said in a hurry: "Save me, girl, save me quickly..."

"Tell me, how many people are you, and what is the purpose of staying in Chigou?"

"We have a thousand people, and we stay in Linhai, just... just to take fire attack on the Feng army passing by here..." The An Bing didn't dare to play tricks anymore, and answered quickly.

"Lin Hai?"

"This... this is called Lin Hai!"

"Oh!" Yin Lan nodded, then turned back and looked at Tang Yin sitting under the tree. Seeing that he did not respond, she turned back and continued to ask: "How do you know that Feng Jun will definitely pass by Lin Hai?"

"To get out of Chigou, there is only one way to go..."

"Are you planning to set fire in the forest?"

"Yes, the forests on both sides of the road have been coated with kerosene by us, and the autumn is dry, the grass and trees are easy to catch fire, and the fire spreads quickly. The captain said... as long as the Feng Army comes in, then... there will be no return..." An Bing said in a trembling voice.
