Luo Junyao and four others followed a group of Jianghu people and soon arrived at the entrance of the valley.
Luo Jun shook his hand and grabbed Qin Yao'er who was eager to continue rushing in. He winked at Hong Xiu'er and Yao Feiyu who were beside him, and then pulled Qin Yao'er and retreated to the hiding place next to him.
Although Hong Xiuer and Yao Feiyu were puzzled by her actions, they still followed her and retreated.
"Mr. Dongfang, what are you doing?" Yao Feiyu stared at Luo Junyao with some displeasure.
Luo Jun said: "I don't think something is right."
"What's wrong?" Yao Feiyu asked.
The four of them stood in the darkness, looking towards the valley that was already lit with lights not far away.
Standing here, they could only see the mouth of the valley and a small area of the valley closest to the outside. Compared to the heavily guarded area just now, it was now completely undefended.
Luo Junyao said: "Didn't you notice? Those defenders retreated very quickly, and there were no casualties at all."
"So what? How can those soldiers compare with so many martial arts masters?" People in the martial arts have always looked down upon these ordinary soldiers.
Luo Junyao said in a deep voice: "They are the Zhenguo army who fought bloody battles with the Qi people at the border for days and nights. They would rather die than retreat. Don't you think it is too easy to retreat? Or these people are not Zhenguo people at all.
The national army, or..."
Hong Xiuer understood instantly and said, "Do you suspect that they deliberately lured us in?"
"It's hard to say." Luo Junyao said, "It won't hurt to wait any longer. I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry."
Hong Xiuer said: "What if someone gets there first?"
Luo Junyao said with a smile: "No matter who succeeds in the end, they have to come out, right?"
Hong Xiuer and Yao Feiyu looked at each other and naturally understood what Luo Junyao meant.
This oriental young master is not only ruthless in his attacks, but also has a vicious heart. He is indeed not an economical person.
If you are like this at a young age, will you be able to do it again when you grow up?
Just as the three of them finished speaking, they suddenly saw a huge fire inside.
The sound of fighting became louder and louder, and soon the people from the rivers and lakes who had rushed in began to rush outside again, but the way in just now was blocked by soldiers of the Zhenguo Army wearing armor and holding shields.
Behind these soldiers, there were countless archers ready to fire.
Even if a strong master wants to force his way out, a heavy crossbow is enough to shoot through a second-rate master.
The faces of Hong Xiuer and Yao Feiyu changed slightly, and cold sweat broke out on their backs.
Both of them secretly thought about Luo Junyao, and Luo Junyao said with a smile: "Walking around in the world, only by being cautious can you live longer."
Hong Xiuer forced a smile and said: "Thanks to Mr. Dongfang, it seems that we can't do it tonight, let's withdraw first."
Luo Junyao and Qin Yaoer naturally had no objection. If they really wanted to go in, it would be easy. They would just follow Hong Xiuer and Yao Feiyu to join in the fun tonight.
These two people have the top five masters in the world as backers. Although the Regent's Palace is not afraid of Yao Fu, as long as there is no conflict between the two parties, there is no need to offend someone to death.
The next day, the atmosphere inside and outside Wanhu City was particularly solemn.
Even people who were not involved in what happened outside the city last night already knew what happened. Hundreds of martial arts masters could not break through a small valley that looked unremarkable from the outside. This made everyone doubt the strength of the Zhenguo Army.
Got a deeper understanding.
Because no one who broke into the valley last night survived, many people even imagined that the valley was a desperate situation filled with trap masters.
Many people with average strength have already started to give up.
After all, they are seeking wealth and fame. If the person dies, everything will be empty.
In an inconspicuous house in the city, Wu Yi and others gathered in a small, dimly lit room, with serious expressions on everyone's faces.
One of them whispered: "Hundreds of people did not survive. We asked the locals that it was just an ordinary valley before. How did the Zhenguo Army make it so strong and dangerous in such a short period of time?"
"The people we went in didn't come out. So we still don't know what's going on inside."
Another person said: "People who sneaked into the mountains around the valley also sent back the news. Nothing can be seen from the mountains. Moreover, there are also sentries of the national army on the mountains. If you are not careful, you will be discovered."
Wu Yi said in a deep voice: "At least we can confirm that the Marquis is indeed inside, right?"
Everyone was silent for a long time before someone slowly said: "It should be, besides the Marquis, who else is worthy of such a big fight?"
Wu Yidao: "As long as it's confirmed, there will always be a way."
Everyone was silent, obviously not having much hope in Wu Yi's words.
If even an attack on the scale of last night could be easily resolved by the Zhenguo Army, they don't have that many troops.
If it weren't for the fact that there were so many people in the world gathered here to take advantage of it, they would have been completely wiped out if they had run into it.
"We are not the only ones who want to save Mr. Hou now. Xie Yan doesn't seem to want to eradicate the problem, so there's no need to worry."
One of them raised his head and glanced at Wu Yi, and couldn't help but said: "Xie Yan is in the city now."
Wu Yi was silent for a while, and then said after a while: "I know what you mean, but...there are countless people who want to kill Xie Yan over the years, but he is still alive now."
Xie Yan's own strength is unfathomable. Yesterday in Zuihonglou, he shocked the masters in Zuihonglou with one attack. It would be as difficult as climbing to the sky to kill him.
but……
"There is someone who may be able to help us break the situation."
Everyone looked at Wu Yi, and Wu Yi lowered his eyes and said: "The regent princess is also here. She is not only Xie Yan's princess, but also Luo Yun's daughter. No matter what, Xie Yan cannot let her go.
.”
"That's what the general said."
If the fortress imprisoning the marquis cannot be breached, then exchanging one with another might not be a solution.
As long as he can catch the Princess Regent, I don't believe that Xie Yan would dare to sacrifice the life of his own Princess for the sake of Marquis Wen Ding.
There were two knocks on the door, and everyone immediately stopped talking and looked wary.
Wu Yi said in a deep voice: "What's the matter?"
Someone outside reported in a low voice: "General Qi, there is someone outside who wants to see you. He says he is... an old friend of Lord Marquis."
"Who?" Wu Yi frowned.
"He's a middle-aged man, so I believe him."
Wu Yi pondered for a moment and said: "Let him come in." Then he gestured to the others, who understood and got up one after another and went out through the door at the back.
Wu Yi was the only one left in the room. After a while, the door opened, and a middle-aged man wearing a snow-green gown and looking quite gentle came in.
He looked at Wu Yi with a smile and said, "General Wu, I have long admired your name."
