Even before they could finish their proud thoughts, the tiptoeing fierce-bearded soldiers fell into the trap one after another. In order not to attract the attention of the Great Xia Army, they deliberately suppressed their screams. Suddenly, the screams turned red, with red ears and blue veins. Standing up, General Meng Keer, who was leading the army, looked around nervously, and was relieved when he saw that the Daxia army was not alarmed.

Sure enough, this group of pampered Guannai people had already relaxed due to their previous victory. They were either resting or celebrating now.

Heh, I really thought that they had retreated and Daxia had won?

After pulling the people out of the pit, they continued to move forward in the dark, and then encountered stumbling ropes, concealed crossbows, and bows one after another. From the beginning, they swallowed their anger, then became frustrated, and finally gritted their teeth and chose to change their route.

There are two roads outside Daxia City, the other is sandy land, but because there is no shelter, everything on the road is clearly visible, so Jihu did not take it into consideration. Now that I think about it, it seems that Daxia Army has predicted that they will choose flat land. , so I deliberately set a trap early.

Humph, the method is dead, but the people are alive, won't they change places?

Thinking of this, the fierce soldiers quietly took advantage of the night and moved to the sandy side.

What they didn't know was that at this moment, on the seemingly deserted roof of the city, Rong Yan was leading a group of soldiers, lowering their bodies and watching the fierce soldiers' every move from the lookout hole.

Several lieutenants were filled with righteous indignation: "Grandma, what a shameless barbarian! Just give me a sneak attack! These bastards!"

Out of anger, no one ran impulsively to the bottom of the city tower. Everyone was focused on watching the movements of the fierce-bearded soldiers. When they stepped into a certain range, they unconsciously held their breath.

The Fierce Hu people have lived in the sand all year round and are very sensitive to the feeling under their feet. The moment they walked into the sand, they knew that this was just an ordinary piece of barren soil. So when everyone's feet suddenly sank, they unexpectedly Didn't realize what happened.

At this time, the shouts of killing suddenly came from behind the fierce soldiers, and arrows continued to fall. Everyone panicked and 20% fell into the quicksand that shouldn't be here.

"This, this is impossible! What on earth is going on?"

On the city tower, the lieutenants also turned their eyes to Rong Yan for knowledge, but saw him smiling gently: "I was taught by an old friend."

The lieutenants looked at the captured fierce soldiers and felt that this old friend of the Third Highness was really a talent.

Strictly speaking, there is a difference between man-made quicksand and real quicksand, but the fierce people are in a panic and cannot react for a while, nor can they break away. In the war, whoever seizes the opportunity first will win three times. point.

Taking advantage of this advantage, half of the night attackers were captured, and the remaining half died or escaped.

Rong Yan still said the same thing, don't chase the bad guys. There will be plenty of opportunities to catch them all in the future, so don't rush.

After arranging for the prisoners to be taken into custody, he asked the soldiers to continue their shifts and rest while he returned to his residence and took out a locked wooden box.

The box was full of letters. He pulled out one and read it carefully——

"...Basically, this is the simple version of quicksand. Although it is not as powerful as the naturally formed ones, it is still enough to scare people for a while. If your legs are tied, isn't that just letting others slaughter you? I saw this when I was reading Fanbang’s Western Food Diary. In order to pick spices, people would wear special shoes and walk on the sand. This way, even if they unfortunately encountered real quicksand, they would not sink immediately. , as long as you have enough time to save yourself, quicksand may not be so scary. Carrying a rope with you will not only play a role in such times, but also provide first aid when you are injured. This is what Dr. Gongsun said. I can’t explain it clearly in words. , I drew a picture for you..."

Rong Yan seemed to be able to hear the clear female voice chattering in his ears. It was not easy to exchange letters at the border, especially after the fight with Jihu, it was rare to receive a letter from Xiaoxiao once a month.

"Others are talking about romance in their letters, but this girl is better..."

Yun'er, who was cleaning up on the side, secretly looked at his master's expression, and then his teeth became sore at the sight.

If it’s not romantic, why are you smiling so tenderly and lovingly?

As soon as they made the bed, they heard Rong Yan whisper: "After we go back, it's almost time to get haircut, right? After that, we can get engaged..."

Yun'er: ...Master, I have a very good ear. Do you want to consider reciting it silently in your heart?

But after silently complaining, he couldn't help but laugh. It was nice to have someone who cared about his master and thought about him.

"I heard that the food to be sent to the border this time was received from near Xijiang County."

Rong Yan took the letter back and put it away, and softly said "hmm". He sounded quite calm, but the curvature of the corners of his mouth was too high.

It's a pity that there are too few opportunities to laugh easily here, because there are too many troubles, such as those prisoners who have just been captured.

"Your Highness, those barbarian accomplices are making trouble again!"

These days were the usual time for Xiaoxiao to write letters, so Rong Yan was originally in a good mood, but when he saw the fierce men under guard baring their teeth and claws and shouting "Daxia abuses prisoners", his face instantly darkened.

"captive?"

The fierce barbarians knew that this thin-looking young man was the most talkative person in Daxia, so they all turned the blame: "That's right, how can any of you feed bran-thick vegetables to prisoners like this? Look at this What are they?" After saying that, he threw the food in his hand out.

I don't know if it was intentional or not, but a bowl happened to be sprinkled on Rong Yan's clothes.

Rong Yan lowered his head and saw that the conditions were difficult and the cook was reluctant to add oil when cooking. Therefore, after shaking the dishes, only a little water stain remained.

Yun'er came to wipe him clean, but was interrupted by Rong Yan with a wave of his hand. He walked step by step to the person who just threw the food, raised his foot and kicked him to the ground and stepped on him. When he exclaimed, Rong Yan Yan picked up the food mixed with sand on the ground and stuffed it into the mouth of the fierce man.

After stuffing the food, Rong Yan covered the mouth of the fierce man again, and slapped his chest with his other hand, forcing him to swallow everything in his mouth, and then let go.

The ferocious Hu man regained his freedom and was so irritated by this rude treatment that he wanted to vomit. Before he could vomit, he saw the jade-faced young man standing aside with his arms folded and said to his side, "After vomiting, drink it back."

This tone immediately made the fierce man calm down. Looking at this person, it didn't look like he was joking.

Rong Yan looked around and left a message: "It looks like they are not hungry. Cut the next meal in half. If you don't eat another meal, you don't have to prepare it in the future. After all, hey, the number of prisoners is what we said." That’s the final word.”

He is clearly a gentle and noble young man, how come he behaves like a living hell?

If he hadn't been waiting for them to exchange Daxia soldiers, would he really have killed them?
