Book 27 - Chapter 10 – The Guest Acts as the Host (2/2)
The three ran about a hundred li at a stretch By this time they already felt tired, but they were still unable to throw off the hawk following their track fro if they say that they were not dispirited and anxious
Sighing, Kou Zhong said, “Between that old thief Zhu Can and us, two brothers, there is an ene indeed if this tie on us Presently, our only way out ought to be crashi+ng into Xiangyang”
Xu Ziling said, “In any case, I would not rely on Yin Gui Pai for protection, so the road is not worth taking”
Tuli spoke heavily, “I agree with Ziling Xiong’s decision Besides, we don’t knohat trick Zhao DeyanWhile Yin Gui Pai is unfatho will only add onedid not care that his proposal was overruled; heto Xiangyang, but actually going someplace else This is called ‘the troops deployed to y Only inside the city e be able to get rid of this high-altitude tracker”
While Tuli was still thinking, Xu Ziling asked him, “Can it see us?”
Tuli looked up to the sky and said, “When a hawk is hunting for food, it can hover around thirty, forty zhang above the ground Like now, it is about a hundred zhang in the air, it can only get a broader field of view Therefore, no matter where we are in the forest, we cannot escape its sharp vision, which is far superior to ordinary people”
Kou Zhong had a big headache; blowing out asentinel is very for’s sword-shaped eyebrows knitted tightly, he spoke heavily, “We must solve this beast probleuess is that it is Zhao Deyan’s eyes and was not sent by Yun Shuai, because along the way on the boat, I always paid attention to the sky, but I did not see it”
Kou Zhong nodded and said, “Ling Shao’s re notified Zhao Deyan, as hiding soht immediately release the hawk; it should catch up with us just about this time”
But then he said in astonishment, “Could the hawk be this formidable? After all, this is not a place it is familiar with Could it be that Zhao Deyan si the river, if you see those three, follow theo back and tell ood!” he cried out, “You are right! Zhao Deyan’s troopstorches or sos, it’s just that we cannot see the, we are still safe In such a dense forest like this, a croill not be effective If we could lure thele, ill be able to kill the said, “There’s still a sichen or so before daybreak, at that tile to their heart’s delight!”
Xu Ziling was the first to sit down by a tree Only then did the other two realize the i his lead, they also sat down
Xu Ziling said, “In the process of tracking and searching, under what circumstances would the hawk fly low?”
Tuli put the Subduing Eagle Spear across his stretched-out legs;to himself irresolutely, he said, “Our hawks are trained to track the enemy, under no circuround Even if they have to fly low to observe, they can’t possibly fly lower than thirty zhang Furtherht bowstring’s twang or pal the resolutely said, “Beasts are beasts; no ent, they are still animal, how could they surpass the people who skillfully train them? There must be a way to beat the asked
Tuli shook his head and said, “When the hawks are carrying out their master’s order, they only eat the culinary delicacy that their n slapped his thigh and said, “That will do! We will co for food activities into one, turning it into brilliant scheh it is innocent, but I am sorry that I have to do it this tiood chick in the next life!”
The forest suddenly rang with the sound of chasing and fighting, followed by a blood-curdling screech, and s into the sky
Naturally no one was really hurt; the blood was co in the vicinity that Kou Zhong caught and chopped its head
Xu Ziling was hiding high on a tree, holding his breath and staying really still
Sure enough, the sparrok’s sensitive ears heard the sound of hunting, ih-altitude to about fifty zhang Probably because of the smell of blood combined with its natural instinct, it suddenly made a rapid circle and dived doiftly
Xu Ziling cheered inwardly, while raising his arth in his body and storing up theof his self-cultivation, he had already fallen in love with observing the flight of birds in the sky, from which he learned not a few of the martial art principles Unexpectedly the e around to deal with a bird; inwardly he felt a big sense of helplessness, yet there was no other choice
Under the fine drizzle, the sparrok ca distance fro distance, he was certain that he could send a strike over the e bird into a dead one
While he was estioing down another zhang, it suddenly flapped its wings The sharp sparrok eyes shot lightning light toward Xu Ziling, as hiding on a branch on top of the tree
Inwardly Xu Ziling knew the situation was bad; he did not expect the haould be this quick and acute Immediately he released the power accumulated into his fist into a sudden punch
The sparrok spread out its wing to swat the punch, as well as to stop its doard dive A bit et But it only brushed a few of the tip of the haing
‘Screech!’ the hawk cried out in fear, while a few pieces of its feathers fell off It flew back unnaturally into the air for a short period of ti to the south and disappeared fro jureat sense of pity for his failure within sight of success, but Xu Ziling shook his head and said, “No! We succeeded”
Staring blankly, Kou Zhong said, “Did Ling Shao mean that the bird received internal injury, its heart and veins broken, and that after it is back, it would vomit blood and die?”
Tuli did not understand either, so he listened to his explanation
Xu Ziling asked Tuli, “When the bird is frightened, will it return to its master?”
Tuli understood He nodded his head in affir is able to see the place where the hawk is falling and speculate the location where Zhao Deyan’s troops are hiding, but our knowledge of their strength is liht, ill be at the very disadvantageous position”
Kou Zhong sotten that other than they, there is another group of people who are seeking our harm If we could make Yun Shuai, Zhu Can, and the others think that Zhao Deyan is here to provide support for Khan’s troops, there will be a good show that we can watch”
At first Tuli was stunned, but then he was greatly delighted “That is indeed a brilliant sche to proceed?”
Xu Ziling said, “Do you, Eastern Tujue people, have special long-distance co his hand into his pocket, Tuli took out a conch-shaped nals by blowing this in different lengths When Yun Shuai hear it, he would know that it is thereached out to take the whistle; while looking at it, he said, “Such a , why didn’t you tell us earlier?”
Turning to Xu Ziling, he said, “Your brains have always been clearer thanthis ti’s face; he said, “Based on Zhao Deyan’s intelligence, if he heard the whistle, hoould he react?”
Tuli said, “If I were him, I would immediately withdraw, because Yun Shuai definitely does not have favorable i said, “This time it is our turn to hunt and kill him!”
The three you looked atin the other’s eyes, as well as in their faces And then they all squealed at the sa’s leadershi+p, they ran through the forest, heading toward the south
