Under the guidance of Ren Ning, Lei Er and Ma Dali took turns using the telescope.
At first, the two of them were just curious, but soon their faces became distorted.
The shock on their faces did not recover for a long time until they put down the telescopes in their hands.
In an instant, the two of them understood the huge role of this telescope.
"Old Ren," after a long while, Lei Er rubbed his hands in confusion: "How did you make this clairvoyance? Do you still have it in your hand?"
Gudong.
Ma Dali, who was next to him, swallowed his saliva, stretched his neck uncontrollably, and stared at Ren Ning closely.
"I don't have any more. But the fortress is being trial-produced." Ren Ning said with a smile: "It's just that it's very expensive. The quantity shouldn't be too much."
Lei Er and Lei Er suddenly looked gloomy.
They are just middle-level generals. If the number of telescopes is not large, they will not be allocated to them at all.
"Work hard to gain military merit." Ren Ning laughed.
The two men went to patrol the convoy with dark faces.
When they were far away, Ren Ning raised his telescope and looked at the continuous Luoxia Mountains.
The mountains to the east are covered with brilliant sunset light, and they are dazzlingly golden.
However, even the dark night can't damage Ren Ning's golden fingers, and the sunlight will naturally not have any effect either.
He checked it carefully and soon frowned.
There were hundreds of red dots hidden in the dense forest halfway up the mountain ahead.
If it were on the Xiliang grassland, so many red dots gathered together would most likely be a pack of wolves. But if they appeared in the Luoxia Mountains, they would undoubtedly be bandits.
Ren Ning argued carefully.
Only to find that the values are not high. The highest red value is only 65, only one or two have more than 60, and the others are around 30.
A group of bandits.
Moreover, they are a group of bandits who are either hungry or exhausted.
Ren Ning quickly summoned some soldiers to keep the fortress soldiers alert.
He waited another half-quarter of an hour before raising the telescope again.
Lu Lu Lu continued to have people come over from the back mountain, and the number of people halfway up the mountain had increased to more than two hundred, but still no one with too much force appeared.
Ma Dali and Lei Er got the news and drove their horses over.
"Commander, are there bandits in the forest ahead?" Ma Dali said in a somewhat disbelieving tone.
Their convoy consisted of more than 200 vehicles and nearly 400 people. Just looking at this formation, the nearby bandits probably didn't have the guts to take the lead.
"Whether there is a bandit in him or not, we'll know just by sending someone up to take a look." Lei Er didn't think too much, "Old Ren, let me have a look with the clairvoyant. I just took a quick look around and didn't even notice that someone was hiding."
On the mountain."
Ren Ning ignored Lei Er and explained the previous situation.
Among the fifty-one soldiers, he was the only one who was a scout.
We can't let him, a security commander, relinquish his command and go up the mountain to investigate the situation himself. Sending other people up there who have no scouting experience is just to arouse the enemy.
"More than two hundred bandits?" Ma Dali breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the sound.
"That shouldn't be a bandit." He explained with a smile.
"There are several nests of bandits in the Luoxia Mountains. However, they do not get along well with each other and often attack each other for territory. Therefore, unless they no longer want to stay in their old nest, they will not and dare not come out in full force."
"If there are really more than 200 bandits in the forest in front, then this bandit den will have more than 600 to 800 people. And if there are so many people in a bandit den, then the imperial court will not turn a blind eye and will definitely send troops to annihilate them."
Ren Ning was noncommittal and raised the telescope to look again.
The number of people on the mountainside in front no longer increased, but they had no intention of going down the mountain. However, the bright red scenery was alarming.
"It smells so good," he shrugged, "Is dinner ready?"
Youmeng nodded, "Everyone has been running for a whole day and has been looking forward to eating and resting. The cooking was done very quickly. Everyone in the caravan has already started eating."
Ren Ning raised his head again and glanced at the quiet forest in front of him, "Come down and tell the brothers to keep their weapons close to their bodies, eat quickly, and be ready to fight at any time."
Since the bandits had no intention of moving for the time being, Ren Ning ignored them.
The Luoxia Mountain in front is a bit steep. It is easy to rush down the mountain, but it is very troublesome to rush up the other way around. The bandits only have such a small amount of force value. No matter how many people there are, they are just a mob. It is not too late to take care of them when they come down.
If it is true that Ma Dalong is not a bandit, or the target of this group of people is not them.
That would be the best.
The three of them got off their horses and walked towards the nearest meal spot.
When a female member of the fortress saw them coming, she happily poured three bowls of steaming soup out of the pot.
"Thank you for your hard work, Commander! The Gu family's caravan sent a lot of mutton. Let's make some soup and drink it while it's hot."
"Thank you!" Ren Ning nodded, and as soon as he took the bowl, his expression suddenly changed.
boom!
He suddenly smashed the soup and bowl to the ground, "Don't drink it, the soup is poisonous."
People around him were startled and looked over.
Lei Er usually likes to mess around with things and can't find the right ones, but this time he followed Ren Ning and smashed the bowl without any hesitation.
"Put down your bowls. The rice is poisonous!"
There were soldiers, women and children from the fortress nearby, and nine out of ten of them had seen all kinds of murderous tactics, and they put down the food in their hands without hesitation.
"If you have eaten, use mare's milk or cow's or goat's milk to induce vomiting immediately. Hurry!"
"Others grab their weapons and prepare to fight."
The soldiers shook their heads one after another, with faces full of joy, "The convoy is too long, everyone has been patrolling, and we haven't had time to touch the food."
Wow.
The women and children who had touched the food did not say a word and started vomiting as hard as they could.
The news spread quickly.
The Gu family's caravan didn't know whether it was true or not, and they were in an uproar.
The pale-faced Gu Shengnan hurried over with two doctors and four guards.
"Commander Ren, you said the food was poisonous?"
"The food is all freshly cooked and the sheep are freshly killed. How could it be poisonous?"
She hasn't finished speaking yet.
boom!
A guard behind him rolled his eyes and fell straight down.
Everyone was shocked.
There is no need for Ren Ning to talk nonsense now.
"Why are the two doctors still in a daze? Hurry up and check what kind of poison you have been poisoned, and find a way to detoxify it!"
"The ancient Shang leader sent people back to induce vomiting on all those who had eaten."
After saying that, Ren Ning jumped on top of the nearest carriage.
After scanning around with the telescope, I felt a little calmer.
He jumped off the carriage and got on the horse again, shouting loudly.
"Starfall!"
Wow!
Two-thirds of the fifty fortress soldiers who returned home were not from Xingluo, but after traveling together these days, they had already become accustomed to Ren Ning's orders, and they jumped on their horses and lined up.
"Ma Qianchang, you and the twenty-five people behind you will guard the heroic spirit and the female family members."
"The others follow me."
Buzz!
The team was divided into two lines without a word, each with its own duties.
"Master," the two accompanying doctors from the Gu family's caravan quickly checked the fallen guard. The two made eye contact and said hesitantly, "Guard Liang seems to have been hit by Mongolian sweat medicine."
"Seems like?" Ma Dali, who was left behind, made a loud sound and coldly flicked the machete in his hand.
The two doctors shrank their necks: "The time is too short. And my medical skills..."
If their medical skills were so good that they could sit in charge, they wouldn't have to follow the caravans all the way around to make a living. Wouldn't it be nice to find a medical clinic to sit in?
Gu Shengnan was worthy of being a traveling business leader and quickly calmed down.
"Then treat it as if you've been poisoned by Mongolian sweat medicine and try to detoxify it!"
"Others continued to induce vomiting."
After saying that, she climbed on top of a carriage and looked far away in the direction where Ren Ning and the others left.
