Chapter 187 Temporary Gang, Night Fishing Operation (asking for monthly ticket)
After the meeting with Zhao Xinglang, Geng Xuan could finally devote himself to his own spiritual practice without distraction.

Feng Yu is in charge of the overall affairs of the Giant Bear Gang.

Matters related to the Wufang Camp, Liu Yueji, Shao Yuntao and others are handled by Luo Qing and a group of "old friends".

Hong Quan and Jiang Hongyi were mainly responsible for matters related to training and exercises.

After communication between the two and the opinions of Feng Yu and others, everyone gathered together during regular training.

To increase overall tacit understanding and cooperation.

In addition to regular training, it is carried out separately.

As for the Xuanyou Iron Cavalry, Hong Quan is the leader.

Jiang Hongyi contributed all his experience of surviving the death threats from the real Xuanyou Iron Cavalry time and time again, allowing Hong Quan to understand how the real Xuanyou Iron Cavalry fought and cooperated with each other.

The training of the rest of the gang members, especially the 240 shield warriors, was mainly led by Jiang Hongyi.

——After careful selection, only 480 infantry soldiers were selected, of which half were shield soldiers and half were combat soldiers.

Among these 480 people, 260 were from the Giant Bear Gang, and the other 220 were carefully selected from the remaining 270 "Death Soldier".

Unlike the Xuanyou Iron Cavalry, the Giant Bear Gang not only outnumbered the 480 infantrymen, but also held an absolute dominant position in terms of strength. All of the Giant Bear Gang's Marrow Refining Hall Masters, as well as the core members of the Bone Refining and Blood Refining divisions, were among them.

With them acting as the supporting skeleton, the other 220 people are used to fill the skeleton with flesh and blood to make it more "plump".

Unless the entire skeleton collapses instantly, there is no need to worry about their ability to escape the backlash.

Unless the "flesh and blood" suffers serious damage, the "skeleton" will not be damaged.

There are a total of 190 Xuanyou Iron Cavalry and a total of 480 combat soldiers.

After investing all the elite members of the Giant Bear Gang and the "Death Squad" into these two areas, the Giant Bear Gang still had a surplus of 130 to 140 people.

Among them, Luo Qing selected some gang members with lower cultivation strength but good abilities to be in charge of the contact and communication with the Wufang Camp and Liu Yueji and others.

Cheng Hui also selected some clever gang members to rebuild the pigeon sending and receiving system, and planned to use this as a basis, with Kangleji, Santongji and Liuyunfang as the base, to create an information intelligence collection network that can cover the "South Four Ji", "East Five Ji", and the area west of Yueluyuan.

The remaining gang members, as well as the "defective goods" left over from the "suicide army" due to various reasons such as old age, weakness, illness, and disability, total about a hundred people.

These people were arranged by Feng Yu to fill in various corners.

They were either assigned to do various chores or to be responsible for the transportation of logistical supplies.

Although due to the rush of time, both the Xuanyou Iron Cavalry led by Hong Quan and the 480 soldiers trained by Jiang Hongyi were only in their infancy. Only God knew how much their combat capabilities had been improved.

But Geng Xuan was already very satisfied that he could achieve a "realistic look" in such a short time.

Learn the form first, and the rest can come slowly.

As for lack of experience, practice more and have more encounters.

As long as you can survive all the way to the end, you will naturally gain all the experience you need.

Everything was progressing rapidly and in an orderly manner, and Geng Xuan's own strength had also improved slightly again.

The morning of the sixth day of the New Year.

Geng Xuan digested, absorbed and mastered the six kinds of Kung Fu, including the "Meng's Iron Head Kung Fu", "Iron Back Leaning" and "Iron Leg Kung Fu", as well as the "Iron Crotch Kung Fu" which he created himself. All the skills, experiences, insights and realizations in the great success realm were digested, absorbed and mastered by Geng Xuan.

After consuming one hundred and twenty points of luck, all seven skills were advanced to the master level.

When these seven seemingly separate but actually integrated skills have all reached the master level.

In addition, there is a wonderful linkage between the Iron Sand Palm, Iron Arm Kung Fu, Iron Knee Strike, which have already reached the master level, the Iron Skin Kung Fu, Iron Eagle Claw, which have reached the grandmaster level, and the Mountain-Destroying and Steel-Breaking Fist, which have already reached the perfection level.

There is a tendency among the dozens of scattered martial arts techniques to merge with each other and converge into one.

Geng Xuan only felt a tingling and restless sensation in the muscles and skin all over his body, which rose and fell rhythmically like ripples and waves.

I felt a little uncomfortable, but at the same time, there was a strange, bone-deep comfort and ease.

It was like an itch hidden in some secret corner of the body that had never been scratched. This time it was finally caught and scratched hard.

When all this was over, Geng Xuan was shocked to find that the levels of skin and flesh refining had improved to varying degrees.

The level of skin refining has been raised from the original "91%" to "94%", an increase of 0.3%.

The level of flesh refining has been raised from the original "96%" to "97%", which seems to have only increased by 0.1%.

However, it was this 0.1% improvement that shortened the distance between him and "perfection of flesh refining" by a quarter.

It becomes the one closest to perfection among all the achievements in body tempering.

“So, these techniques seem to have the greatest impact on improving skin refining.

But in fact, what really helps the most is to train the flesh."

In the afternoon of the same day, Geng Xuan upgraded "Overlord's Sky-lifting Finger" from the minor level to the major level.

And at the same time, he advanced the "Quenching Jade Golden Fingers" from the entry level to the minor success level.

These two upgrades cost Geng Xuan a total of twenty points of luck.

……

It was almost evening, and Geng Xuan, who was immersed in his own cultivation, suddenly felt a palpitation in his heart.

His mind immediately became focused.

He immediately realized that it was Huang Er trying to communicate with him.

However, because the distance was too far, he could only feel Huang Er "dialing" him, and he knew nothing else.

But this is enough.

After leaving Qingyuanji and entering the wilderness, Geng Xuan released Huang Er and his two partners, A Liu and A Qi, again and asked them to continue to keep an eye on the movements of Wu Yi's camp.

According to the agreement he and Huang Er had made in advance, unless Wu Yi's camp was suddenly evacuated or new reinforcements arrived, they would pretend nothing had happened and would not try to communicate with him actively.

Under the current circumstances, the possibility of Wu Yi’s camp suddenly withdrawing is very low.

Then, the most likely possibility is that new reinforcements have arrived.

Geng Xuan immediately ended his training, called Feng Yu, and said:

"Start preparing now. In half an hour, we will return to Qingyuanji."

Soon, the Giant Bear Gang’s base became busy.

The originally tense atmosphere not only did not become more tense, but became much more lively.

For many people, these two days of high-intensity training are simply torture.

Compared to this, traveling is like taking a break.

While the Giant Bear Gang was preparing to set off, Fang Jintang, who was also in Santongji, and some of the Santongji soldiers who returned with him also began to prepare to set off.

Under such circumstances, Geng Xuan took the time to meet with a group of people.

The group was led by Fan Hongsheng and Wei Wanzong, as well as another new marrow refiner named Qi Kun, and a group of high-level officials from the Eight Districts including Master Chai.

The purpose of their visit to Geng Xuan was simple, which was to ask him what arrangements he had for them next.

They gathered a thousand elite soldiers from the eight districts to come and help in the battle.

However, since arriving near Santongji at the end of last month and being arranged to stay at the Wufang Camp, they have not moved until now.

This time Geng Xuan returned to Santongji and met many people.

After Fan Hongsheng and others submitted their visiting cards, they waited quietly for the summons from Gang Leader Su.

But now, seeing that the Giant Bear Gang is about to return to Qingyuanji and rush to the front line to fight the enemy, he has never seen them, and there is no arrangement for their subsequent behavior.

After waiting for so long, "Su Ruiliang" still didn't give a clear explanation.

In that case, they simply stopped waiting and took the initiative to come and ask.

Faced with the sincere inquiries of Fan Hongsheng and others, Geng Xuan didn't know how to start.

He admitted that he had selfish motives in this matter.

At the beginning, Fan Hongsheng and others took the initiative to express that Bajiafang should gather a sufficient force to fight against Wu Yi together with him.

Geng Xuan agreed, but he had no intention of sending them to the front line to fight a life-and-death battle with the enemy.

Now, he still has this idea in his mind and it has not changed.

It's not that he has a special preference for these soldiers from the neighborhood, he just has a special selfish motive towards Mr. Chai and a few other people including Chen Zheng who are among the thousand people.

Geng Xuan is not an either-or diode, and he will not force himself to make a "heart choice" of choosing between two options.

In his opinion, this is just hypocrisy.

On the one hand, he will work hard to practice and push forward the path in his heart.

But on the other hand, he didn't mind retaining some selfishness for the identity of "Geng Xuan", and under this selfishness, he took some "leniency" measures.

He also didn't think that doing so would make him lack a sense of Taoism.

Very sturdy.

However, Fan Hongsheng and others have now "forced the palace" to their front.

Of course, he couldn't tell them the real reason in his mind.

Their joint visit this time also made Geng Xuan realize that his previous way of handling the matter was somewhat too passive and negative.

Geng Xuan pondered for a moment and said to Fan Hongsheng and others:
“You are a special force in my hands, and I will not use you unless it is absolutely necessary.

If we can completely resolve the Wu Yi issue without you getting involved, that would be best.”

"If we have to use you in the end, I also hope that before I pull you out, you will no longer exist and will not be taken into consideration by either the enemy or us."

"Only in this way can the effect of the surprise attack be maximized!"

Fan Hongsheng nodded solemnly, but finally sighed:
"Now our special forces may not be able to hide anymore."

"What do you mean?" Geng Xuan asked.

Fan Hongsheng said:

"Aren't we living in the Wufang Camp during this period?
We are not worried about the residents of Wujiafang, but in the camp, in addition to the residents of Wujiafang, there is also a group of young men and women from Yuanjing.

When I have nothing to do every day, I just run around in the camp.

Although they have never spoken to us directly, I feel that nothing that happens in the camp can be hidden from their eyes."

Geng Xuan nodded and said:
"Are you worried that they will leak the news that you are hiding here, or even tell Wu Yi directly?"

"I'm not sure, but I think it's very possible," said Fan Hongsheng.

Geng Xuan nodded slightly and said, "So, do you think that since it is impossible to hide it, why not just not hide it?"

"Yeah." Fan Hongsheng nodded.

Geng Xuan asked, "But have you ever thought about why we don't do the opposite?"

"What do you mean?" Fan Hongsheng looked confused.

"You continue to stay in the Wufang camp. Don't worry about the possibility of being exposed. Just pretend that you are still hiding well." Geng Xuan said.

Upon hearing this, Fan Hongsheng was stunned and asked in confusion, "Why?"

Not only him, but everyone else also looked at Geng Xuan with confusion.

Geng Xuan did not explain in detail, but just said something with a puzzled look that made everyone present feel vaguely understood, yet also felt it was powerful.

“If you are capable, pretend you are incapable; if you are using something, pretend you are not using it.”

After thinking for a while with his head down, the light gradually reappeared in Fan Hongsheng's eyes.

"You mean, even though we anticipated the fact that our forces might have been exposed, we should pretend nothing happened?"

While thinking, Fan Hongsheng expressed his guess.

"Yeah, that's it." Geng Xuan nodded in response.

"Okay." Fan Hongsheng nodded heavily and said:
"If Gang Leader Su has any new arrangements, please inform us as soon as possible."

"Well... although you are in the Wufang camp, at the rear of the confrontation between the two sides, you should not let your guard down and must be on guard as necessary," Geng Xuan reminded.

"Don't worry, Boss Su, we saved it!"

After receiving a clear response from "Su Ruiliang", Fan Hongsheng and others left satisfied.

……

Not long after, Feng Yu and others were ready to set off.

A group of nearly 800 people left Santongji in a mighty manner and set foot on the wilderness connecting Qingyuanji.

At this moment, it had already darkened.

Geng Xuan, riding on the Xuanyou horse, did not set out with Feng Yu and others this time.

Instead, he ordered Feng Yu to lead the main force behind, while he led the 190 Xuanyou cavalrymen and galloped quickly towards Qingyuanji.

It only took about half an hour for Geng Xuan and his Xuanyou cavalry to approach Qingyuanji.

Geng Xuan did not lead his cavalry into Qingyuanji, but bypassed Qingyuanji and let everyone dismount and rest in the jungle on the nearby foothills of Chiwu Mountain.

When everyone dismounted to rest, Geng Xuan also dismounted and went deep into the jungle nearby.

Some people who were bending down to caress their beloved horses turned their heads slightly and looked in the direction where Geng Xuan disappeared.

When they looked away, they found that the eyes of the people around them seemed to be more or less on them.

Everyone felt a chill in their hearts, then they immediately gathered their thoughts and continued to caress the Xuanyou horses they were riding.

They were busy doing the work, stretching their muscles and feeding them, and they looked very professional.

Geng Xuan did not go too far into the jungle. He just walked around a bush to avoid the direct gaze of others.

Soon, with the sound of rustling, Geng Xuan saw Huang Er in front, and A Liu and A Qi behind. They were like three flesh bombs moving at high speed in the depths of the dense jungle.

They moved quickly through the dense forest with rugged rocks and tangled branches and leaves, and soon came close to Geng Xuan.

Geng Xuan didn't say much. He first fed each of the "three little ones" a blood-replenishing pill, and then reached out and pressed Huang Er's forehead.

Soon, the scenes that Huang Er had just seen appeared directly in Geng Xuan's mind.

However, two large groups of reinforcements arrived before and after.

But all of Geng Xuan's attention was drawn to the Xuanyou cavalry that came to support from the north.

In addition to the fact that this Xuanyou Iron Cavalry itself gave Geng Xuan a very different feeling.

The three dark blue birds flying high in the sky, moving together with the Xuanyou Iron Cavalry on the ground, always overlooking the earth like a reconnaissance plane, attracted Geng Xuan's close attention.

After understanding the situation, Geng Xuan withdrew his hand from Huang Er's head and asked Huang Er to take A Liu and A Qi to the safer rear, not allowing them to risk scouting near the opposite camp.

With those three big birds circling in the sky, it would be too dangerous to arrange them to conduct close reconnaissance at this time.

Once exposed, even Huang Er would find it difficult to escape alive.

Geng Xuan reviewed everything he saw in his mind, sorting it out in more detail.

“This newly arrived Xuanyou Iron Cavalry has about 300 riders in total.

Before entering the camp, they had some friction with the Xu family's Xuanyou cavalry patrolling around the camp.

Judging from his abilities, he is fundamentally different from those Xuanyou riders of the Xu family.

Soon they were in control and taking over the camp.”

"Not long after the Xuanyou Iron Cavalry arrived, another reinforcement came from the northeast. They should be the heavy sword soldiers mentioned by Zhao Xinglang. There should be about 300 of them.

However, didn't he say that there was a mercenary group called 'Blood Fang' traveling with them?

Why are there no signs of them? Didn't these two groups come together?"

Geng Xuan was guessing in his heart.

Through Huang Er's eyes, Geng Xuan also saw that the Xuanyou Iron Cavalry, which had entered the camp first, not only took over the situation in the entire camp, but also did not show any courtesy to the newly arrived Xu family reinforcements and directly reorganized them under their own command.

In order to suppress the opposing opinions, several people who were struggling and twisting, and seemed to be cursing, were pushed to the entrance of the camp with their hands behind their backs, and their heads were chopped off one by one.

Geng Xuan reviewed this information in his mind and analyzed:
"From these details, we can also see that this group of Xuanyou Iron Cavalry is not only unlikely to come from the Xu family in Yuanjing.

There is even a high possibility that he is not from Yuanjing, or even from a certain faction within the jurisdiction of Yuanzhou."

There are two main bases.

First, the strength of this Xuanyou Iron Cavalry is much better than that of the Anleji Wu family and the Yuanjing Xu family. The two sides are not on the same level at all and there is no comparison at all.

Another thing is that the behavior of this group of people is really too "un-Yuanzhou".

What is Yuanzhou's style of doing things?
For the middle and lower classes who are not qualified to have equal dialogue with them, there is naturally no unified style of behavior, and each faction has its own approach.

But if everyone is a high-ranking official in Yuanzhou, then the content of "human relations and worldly wisdom" will be very high.

Even the Wuyou Palace, a force that has committed countless murders and crimes, is no exception, let alone other forces. Those top forces that don't care about "human relations and worldly affairs" were eliminated by Yuanzhou more than a hundred years ago.

For example, the "Red Heart Gang" founded by Meng Tiexin, whose purpose is to "help the poor and the needy" and "help the weak and suppress the strong."

Geng Xuan believed that even if Wuyou Palace had not been stabbed with the most brutal blow, its ultimate destruction was inevitable.

Because he is too unsociable and too ignorant of the ways of the world.

It's like a young man sitting among a group of old foxes. Being kicked out of the group is inevitable.

This newly arrived Xuanyou Iron Cavalry reinforcement showed its indifference to "worldly customs" in another way.

Rough and fierce, killing people is like killing a chicken.

The people killed were not ordinary people, but members of the Xu family, a prominent family in Yuanjing.

This kind of behavior is really "too un-Yuanzhou"!

"If this Xuanyou Iron Cavalry isn't from Yuanzhou, then where else could it be from?"

As soon as this thought popped up in Geng Xuan's mind, the answer was about to emerge.

In order to ease the logistical pressure, Dong Guan sold Xuanyou horses to other states as resources.

However, this "foreign state" is only Yuanzhou!

Because it borders Xuanzhou, Youzhou and only three other states.

Haozhou, south of Youzhou and west of Yuanzhou.

Minzhou to the east of Xuanzhou, and Yuanzhou to the south of Xuanzhou.

Except for the harmless Yuanzhou, both Haozhou and Minzhou are naturally hostile to Xuanyouzhou.

There was no time to find ways to weaken the strength of the two states, so how could Dong Guan personally do something like aiding the enemy!
It's okay if a few of them are scattered to other states, no one can stop this.

However, apart from the two states of Xuanyou, the only state that can truly use Xuanyou horses on a large scale is Yuanzhou.

If these Xuanyou cavalry are not from Yuanzhou, then they can only come from Xuanyou and Xuanyou states, the real place of production of Xuanyou horses.

He is also the pioneer of the authentic Xuanyou Iron Cavalry.

The three big birds indirectly confirmed Geng Xuan's guess.

This made it easy for Geng Xuan to think of the long-known "Flying Eagle Technique".

With this thing hovering thousands of meters in the sky, overlooking the vast wilderness below, any attempt at a sneak attack would be futile.

As far as Geng Xuan knew, the eagle's eyesight was extremely abnormal.

If these big birds were selected and improved by people who mastered the "flying eagle technique", and produced changes similar to those of ordinary horses to Xuanyou horses and ordinary dogs to Dahuang Baxiao, their "eagle vision" ability would be even more perverted and terrifying.

"But I don't know how good this thing's night vision is."

As Geng Xuan was thinking this, a plan had already taken shape in his mind.

……

After returning to the team, Geng Xuan saw that everyone was "honestly" and "properly" tending to their Xuanyou horses.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a smile, and he turned over and rode on the Xuanyou horse.

Glancing around, he found Mu Qingzhu, who was tending to his mount next to Hong Quan.

——Because of the training, Hong Quan and Jiang Hongyi have been almost inseparable these two days. The time they spend together is much more than that of Jiang Hongyi and Mu Qingzhu.

During the Santong gathering, Mu Qingzhu disliked Hong Quan as much as she could.

But now, she stayed by Hong Quan's side naturally.

"Mu Qingzhu."

This sudden shout startled Mu Qingzhu.

Following the sound, he saw "Su Ruiliang" riding on the Xuanyou horse, looking down at him condescendingly.

Being stared at by this murderer, Mu Qingzhu, who was also ruthless and murderous, felt panic for no reason and his hands shook uncontrollably.

"W...what?" Mu Qingzhu responded somewhat panicked.

"Is there a big difference between the real Xuanyou Iron Cavalry under Dong Guan and the Xuanyou Iron Cavalry in Yuanzhou?" Geng Xuan asked.

Mu Qingzhu didn't know why "Su Ruiliang" asked this, but still replied: "There is a huge difference."

"Where are the differences? The armor styles? Or are there any differences in tactics and methods?" Geng Xuan asked again.

Mu Qingzhu shook his head and said:

“These may also have differences, but even for the real Xuanyou Iron Cavalry, because they belong to different regions, have different leadership styles, and different material origins, there are many differences in armor styles, combat methods and tactics.

I can't tell from these external things.

However, if there were a real Xuanyou Iron Cavalry in front of me, no matter what kind of disguise he had, I would be able to see through it at a glance."

At the end of his words, there was naturally a hint of hatred in Mu Qingzhu's voice.

Jiang Hongyi said that Mu Qingzhu's family were all victims of the Xuanyou Iron Cavalry's "grass-raiding valley".

This is probably the real-life version of "I would recognize you even if you turned into ashes."

Geng Xuan nodded in satisfaction and said, "Then if you have a chance later, open your eyes and show me."

"??"

After hearing this, Mu Qingzhu was completely confused and didn't understand what "Su Ruiliang" meant.

It’s not that this statement itself is difficult to understand, but this place is the southwest corner of Yuanzhou. If what "Su Ruiliang" said is to be true, Dong Guan not only has to march south first, but also has to penetrate the entire Yuanzhou.

But this is obviously inconsistent with reality.

Geng Xuan didn't explain this in detail, but simply said to everyone, "Everyone, check your pistols and axes, and try to place them where they are most convenient."

Although many people were shocked and hesitant about the meaning behind this order, the two days of training at least made them understand that at this time, the only thing they could do was to obey orders.

All actions must be carried out under command.

So, no matter what everyone thought in their minds, after Geng Xuan issued the request, everyone began to carefully check and confirm the weapons they carried one by one.

After everyone had done all this, Geng Xuan gave another order, asking everyone to start putting on armor.

This time, everyone who already knew what "Su Ruiliang" wanted to do didn't even feel shocked.

In order to speed up the process, they even naturally helped each other and put on each other's clothes.

The most surprising thing for everyone was that when everyone was about to put on their helmets, Geng Xuan asked Hong Quan to distribute the headbands that he had prepared for a long time.

And everyone was required to tie a headband on their head before putting on a helmet.

"???"

Many people were confused when they heard such a strange request.

Not to mention that it is night time now, this headband that is used to distinguish between friend and foe has no real meaning at all.

If it is to be used, it should be used outside where it can be seen by the eyes.

Now, first wrap the headband around the forehead and then put the helmet on the head. Outsiders cannot see the trace of the headband at all. So what is the point of doing this?
However, Geng Xuan's next words made those who secretly criticized him willingly wrap the headband around their foreheads.

“For me, the purpose of this headband is to facilitate the identification of enemies and friends, and also to eliminate enemies and friends.

I don’t care who you were before, whether you were a member of my Giant Bear Gang, a market boss, or the head of a family.

This time, you may be following me sincerely and obeying my orders completely, or you may be submitting because you are forced by my means.

Wearing this headband, those who are not members of the Giant Bear Gang will become temporary members of my gang.

Regardless of whether they are temporary gang members or formal gang members, I will treat them all equally during the operation and will not show favoritism.

If you agree with my rules, you can wear this headband."

Although some people still felt strange, this did not stop them from wrapping the headband around their foreheads as quickly as possible.

The biggest worry of those who are not members of the Giant Bear Gang is that "Su Ruiliang" will push them to the most dangerous front line to be cannon fodder!

Once you wear this headband, you will be given the status of "temporary gang member" by "Su Ruiliang". During this period, you will enjoy the same treatment as those formal gang members.

How could anyone refuse such a good thing?
Not to mention tying it on the forehead, even if they were asked to tie it on the other head, they would do it without hesitation!

Since those practitioners who were not from the Giant Bear Gang were so cooperative, the other members of the Giant Bear Gang naturally gave more face to their own gang leader. As soon as the order was given, regardless of management or comprehension, everyone started to act.

While ninety non-Giant Bear Gang members, including seven marrow refiners, put on their headbands and became "temporary members" of the Giant Bear Gang, Geng Xuan's attention was once again focused on the "Flint Pearl".

【Get four points of white luck. 】

Looking at the only four points of increased white luck, Geng Xuan felt a little relieved.

This time, Geng Xuan only hoped that the amount of Bai Yun he harvested could be as little as possible, the less the better.

The current result is barely within his expectations.

He was sure that if he used force to recruit these ninety people into the official gang, the white luck he would get this time would far exceed four points.

This is what Geng Xuan doesn't want now.

Now, he used the method of "temporary gang members" to solve the difficult problem of "not wanting too much wasted luck, but wanting these people to temporarily become his own people".

Geng Xuan looked at those who were not members of the Giant Bear Gang. After putting on the headbands, they had three layers of halo on their heads besides the red names.

There are no changes in the other two layers.

But in Geng Xuan's eyes, the white halo that symbolized the person's affiliation with an organization suddenly underwent a miraculous change.

From "not my person" to "my person".

This means that during this period of time, he can give his good fortune to these "own people".

The people these people kill will be his profit.

If these people died at the hands of others, it would also bring him benefits.

Although he had expected this, Geng Xuan still breathed a sigh of relief when the change actually happened.

……

Soon, the Xuanyou cavalry was fully armed and transformed into a Xuanyou iron cavalry with the unique cold and hard luster of metal.

Under the dim light of the stars and the moon, this silent line of Xuanyou cavalry passed through the humus layer formed by thick dead grass and leaves, stepped on the sandy land with sparse grass, merged into the even more desolate and dry wilderness of the night, and quickly and silently approached the camp stationed more than ten miles to the north.

Soon after entering the vast wilderness without the obstruction of the jungle and mountains.

Geng Xuan, who had amazing eyesight and could see at night as clearly as during the day, had already locked onto a small figure circling alone in a fixed airspace in the dark sky in the distance before he discovered the camp hidden beneath the undulating horizon of the wilderness.

"It's you." Geng Xuan whispered softly.

In addition to the differences in distance and perspective, as well as the differences between dog eyes and human eyes, Geng Xuan confirmed that the big bird circling in the air was one of the three big birds that Huang Er saw at the time.

However, this time, he only saw one, and the other two disappeared.

After just a quick thought, Geng Xuan guessed what was going on.

"The other two should have gone down to rest... Now, they should be on duty in shifts."

Although thinking this in his mind, Geng Xuan had no intention of retreating. He led a group of Xuanyou cavalrymen behind him and continued to approach the direction of the big bird.

After climbing over a convex slope, Geng Xuan saw a camp shrouded in darkness where no lights or fires were allowed.

Geng Xuan did not urge his horse forward immediately, but looked around for a while, and with his amazing eyesight, he observed the situation of the guards in the camp.

Then he looked up at the big bird circling in the night sky above the camp.

After circling again, the bird's body was facing completely in their direction.

In other words, they are now completely in front of the big bird's sight.

But the big bird did not have any unusual reaction.

"It seems that your night vision ability is not that good." Geng Xuan commented in his heart.

After confirming this, Geng Xuan led the Xuanyou cavalry to continue forward in the dark. After walking about a mile, the distance between them and the camp was shortened to less than five miles.

The big bird in the sky still didn't respond.

Geng Xuan led his team forward in the dark for about another mile, shortening the distance between him and the camp to less than four miles.

The big bird in the night sky still didn't see them, but Geng Xuan, who had been paying attention to the changes of the bird, had a feeling that if he led his team forward again, he would most likely be exposed to the eyes of the big bird.

Geng Xuan even felt that if tonight was not the sixth day but the seventh or eighth day, when the stars and the moon were brighter, they would have been almost exposed even at the current distance.

During the last two times, the big bird clearly looked over here a few more times.

Geng Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Hong Quan."

Soon, Hong Quan rode his horse to Geng Xuan's side.

"Gang leader."

Geng Xuan said to Hong Quan, "Choose twenty of your fellow soldiers and lead them back to the gentle slope we just climbed over. Then move five hundred steps to the right, light the torches, and climb over the gentle slope.

...If any unusual movement occurs, immediately turn off the engine and lead the team to retreat.

If there are no unusual movements, continue moving forward, but don't go too fast, and don't go beyond our current position... Do you understand?"

"I understand." Hong Quan said loudly.

"Then please repeat my request again." Geng Xuan said.

Hong Quan immediately repeated Geng Xuan's request, without missing a word.

Geng Xuan nodded in satisfaction and said, "Go ahead."

Soon, Hong Quan selected twenty members of the Giant Bear Gang from the 190 Xuanyou Iron Cavalry.

After a while, Hong Quan lightly squeezed his horse's belly and led the twenty Xuanyoutie riders behind him to quickly follow the path they had just come from.

After crossing the gentle slope, the twenty-one riders moved five hundred steps to the right.

"Raise the fire."

After Hong Quan confirmed their current position for the last time, he gave an order and soon, burning torches were held in the hands of the riders one by one.

If these twenty-one torches were to be viewed from a distance of several thousand meters in the sky, they would look like dim and tiny fireflies.

But this little bit of fire, reflected in a pair of eagle eyes thousands of meters above the sky, is many times more eye-catching than the fireflies in the night sky.

Ever since Hong Quan and the others climbed over the gentle slope and disappeared from sight, Geng Xuan turned his head to pay attention to the movements of the big bird in the sky.

At a certain moment, Geng Xuan guessed that it was Hong Quan and others who raised the torches. The big bird, which was originally circling in the sky at a relatively uniform speed, suddenly broke its regular movement when it faced the gentle slope.

Its body was moving steadily towards the gentle slope.

After about a few breaths, the big bird suddenly seemed to have broken wings and fell rapidly towards the camp below.

In the blink of an eye, it fell into the camp like a meteor.

Before its figure was blocked by the tents, Geng Xuan saw that the wings of the big bird falling straight down suddenly flapped violently a few times.

The falling speed suddenly dropped, and the falling trajectory also changed, from falling straight down to floating quickly towards somewhere diagonally downward.

Soon after the big bird disappeared from sight, Geng Xuan saw another big bird flapping its wings in the camp in the dark and circling up to the sky.

After paying close attention, Geng Xuan discovered that this was not the same big bird that had fallen just now.

Not only are there slight differences in body shape, but also in the color of their feathers.

Just as the big bird circled in the sky above the camp, the camp below, which had originally looked dead silent, suddenly became active.

A group of Xuanyou Iron Cavalry with a number of about one hundred people galloped out of the camp. The big bird that fell from the sky just now landed on the shoulder of the armored man in the lead.

After galloping out of the camp, this group of one hundred Xuanyou Iron Cavalry, led by a man with a big bird resting on his shoulder, bypassed the barricades, low walls and pits outside the camp and galloped towards a specific direction.

At this moment, Hong Quan and twenty-one other riders were climbing over the gentle slope with torches in hand.

Hundreds of cavalrymen marched out of the camp, their hooves stampeding on the ground. Such a movement could not be concealed from anyone.

What's more, after crossing the gentle slope, the distance between the two sides was not far.

For the Xuanyou Iron Cavalry, it was equivalent to face-to-face distance.

Similarly, Hong Quan and others who were walking at night with torches could not hide the truth from the other party.

The next moment, twenty-one torches went out immediately.

Hong Quan and others, who had just climbed over the gentle slope, retreated quickly.

Seeing this, the hundred cavalrymen who had left the camp for reconnaissance immediately sped up and chased after them.

Quietly, this group of people had exposed their softest "flanks" to Geng Xuan's gaze and arrows.
