The ancients watched me play the Starry Sky Railway

Chapter 464 The identities of hunter and prey change at any time

"Return to Starport two hours before the martial arts ceremony."

"General, I shouldn't question your instructions, but if I heard correctly, you said you've obtained firsthand intelligence on Bu Liren?" Yan Qing asked doubtfully.

"Yes, my men are constantly searching for clues." Fei Xiao nodded and asked through the communication device: "Mei Ze, what is the current situation?"

"Mei Ze: "Before the general completely lost contact in Jiaoqiu, I captured the Jade Omen signal on him. It shouldn't be long before we can find their whereabouts."

"Yan Qing heard the voice and became anxious: "If that's the case, shouldn't we immediately reunite with him and help him eliminate Bu Liren? Why did we come back to Xinggang?"

Fei Xiao chuckled, "It seems your general only taught you swordsmanship, but not how to 'hunt'."

"What do you mean, General?" Xing was confused.

"There's an old Buli proverb: In the forest, the identities of hunter and prey can change at any moment. We consider ourselves hunters now, but if we blindly chase them, we'll end up being Hu Lei's prey," Feixiao explained.

Xing scratched his head: "Hu Lei doesn't have the advantage in numbers, how can they hunt us?"

Yan Qing nodded. "General, are you kidding us? A wolf that's been imprisoned for seven hundred years, even if it has followers, is insignificant compared to the number of Cloud Riders. How could it possibly treat us as prey?"

"You two, put aside your underestimation of the enemy," Fei Xiao said solemnly. "Hu Lei is definitely not a Buli person you can easily kill. Numbers are meaningless to this monster. This vicious beast, which has not eaten a human in seven hundred years, has sneaked into the streets of Luofu before the martial arts ceremony. This is the most dangerous and unpredictable part of the current situation."

Yan Qing suddenly woke up with a chill in his heart: "The lives of ordinary people are like meat that can be swallowed by this guy at any time..."

"Xing Ye is confused. Isn't that super dangerous?!"

"It's indeed troublesome. Judging from their combat power on paper, Hu Lei and some Bu Li people are definitely no match for the huge number of Cloud Cavalry and three generals—three envoys!"

"But the problem is that the location of the battlefield is too unfavorable for the Immortal Boat."

Liu Bang thought back to the time when the Huns invaded.

The battle was fought within the territory of the Han Dynasty.

No matter whether you win or lose, all the broken jars and cans belong to the man, so it’s a loss no matter how you look at it!

The situation of the immortal boat in the sky is similar.

Once a fight breaks out, it will always be the Immortal Boat that suffers.

Therefore, the biggest problem facing these three generals at the moment is not how to defeat Hu Lei, but how to minimize the losses while defeating Hu Lei.

If you don't recognize this, you've already lost the battle with Hu Lei.

…………

"That's right. To do this, we must strike right away, otherwise the situation will get out of control."

"You've probably heard of the military tactic of 'surround three sides, leave one side open,' right? You can't just let your prey flee. A good hunter must be fully prepared, waiting in the perfect position for their prey to come."

"Feixiao taught the two of them carefully."

"Yanqing is the future pillar of the Xianzhou, and is worthy of being taught. As for Xing... just treat her as an auditor, and improve the train crew's favorability while you can."

"Returning to Starport is the most likely place they came from?" Xing's astonishing wisdom activated.

Fei Xiao gave him an admiring look. "Imagine we're prisoners who've just escaped from the Prison. While I can disguise myself and blend in with the crowd, I don't plan to stay here long. What do I need most right now?"

"The star raft that escaped Luofu... The Bu Li people we discovered on our way back to the starport were preparing a ship for their escape." Yan Qing finally understood.

"Well, let's guess where the prey might be headed, and then we'll slowly close in the net." Fei Xiao said calmly, "Come on, starting from where you found Bu Liren, we'll leave the prey nowhere to escape."

"Yanqing and Xing took Feixiao to the location where they last tracked Bu Liren."

"Looks the same as usual." Yan Qing looked around.

"After that, I immediately ordered people to block the news and try to keep everything as it was." Fei Xiao said.

"Will Bu Liren notice it?" Xing asked worriedly.

Feixiao agreed: "The accomplice preparing the Star Chariot has been eliminated by you. They haven't replied yet. This should alert them."

"However, the more carefully prepared a plan is, the longer it will take to react if it's disrupted. If anyone among the Buli people still wants to take a gamble and stick to their original plan to escape, they will definitely return here to confirm the situation back at Starport."

"As Feixiao who often deals with Buli people, she is very familiar with how to deal with them."

"This is what they call 'the one who knows you best is not your friend, but your enemy.'"

Zhang Liao was deeply touched.

Sun Quan was very familiar with him!

I heard that Soochow is planning to conduct various research on him.

However, he was not very familiar with Sun Quan... After all, he did not regard Sun Quan as a human being.

…………

"You mean Bu Liren is already here in Star Harbor?" Yan Qing exclaimed.

Fei Xiao said calmly, "Don't you realize that there are an unusually large number of people in this automated area today?"

"First, those two Tianbosi employees. They've been secretly observing us since we arrived here."

"Fei Xiao gestured with the corner of his eye to the two fox people in the corner to their left."

"Next up is that Cloud Rider over there." She then looked at a lone Cloud Rider standing in the right corner. "If they're on patrol, they're not following the two-person rule."

"Finally, there was the craftsman in the uniform of a craftsman, who stared at the device with a serious expression."

"Now that we have a target in mind, let's go and test it out."

"Feixiao smiled and handed the task to Xing and Yanqing."

"They were both sweating profusely. If Feixiao hadn't pointed it out, they wouldn't have realized they were surrounded by Bu Liren before they knew it!"

"The two of them thought for a moment and exchanged some thoughts before secretly pointing to the fox man in Tianbosi clothing in the left corner."

Feixiao nodded, and the three of them went over together.

"As soon as we approached, one of the staff members, somewhat impatiently, said, 'Who are you? Don't you know that the return to the starport is blocked?'"

Another staff member gently advised, "They're just a few tourists who strayed in. Let's talk it over. Don't rush."
