"I think there may be a large group of ghost soldiers lurking in the grassland."
Yu Fuguo made his own judgment based on intuition.
Luo Qiwei did not agree with this view and said: "Impossible, Martial Saint, the ghost girl retreated into the ice field, and the ghost soldiers must have taken her away. It is impossible for a large number of ghost soldiers to stay in the grassland."
The Yufu Kingdom also knew that this possibility was very small, but according to the barbarians, it should be so.
"Perhaps these barbarians are talking nonsense and cannot be taken seriously."
Yu Fuguo thought for a while and said: "I will send someone out to find out. If it is true, I must report it to the Holy Emperor and King Wu."
Luo Qiwei nodded and said, "Okay, let's send someone out to investigate."
Yufu State immediately found the people from Xichang and sent a small team to the cliff cave that Manzi mentioned.
.
Hera Pass.
Two ghost soldiers squatted in a simple room made of stones, glancing eastward from time to time.
"I really don't understand. The canyon has been sealed, and we are still allowed to monitor here?"
"Humph, it's just to punish us. The canyon has been sealed off. Who else will come here?"
"Your Majesty has just ascended the throne and wants to establish his majesty, so let us suffer here."
They were sent by Yuexi to monitor Long Chen's movements at the Hera Pass.
I had just returned to Moon City and was sent here, so I felt so resentful in my heart.
"I'm sleepy, I'll take a nap."
"Today it's your turn to fish, so hurry up and go."
"I caught a big fish the day before yesterday, why should it be me again?"
The two of them are guarding here, and they need to go back inside to fish for food. Each person fishes once.
The round trip was too long and neither of them wanted to run.
Suddenly, two bone arrows were shot, and the two ghost soldiers were hit by the arrows at the same time and fell to the ground.
"No, Long Chen is here."
"No, this is an arrow."
A shadow rushed in and cut off the heads of two ghost soldiers with a bone knife.
It was Yue Lang who made the sneak attack.
After leaving the barbarian holy mountain, Yuelang took Li Chengdao to Heading west, we finally arrived at the Hera Pass.
When coming out of the ice field, Yuelang discovered two ghost soldiers.
After returning, Yue Lang first killed two ghost soldiers to prevent them from leaking information.
After getting out of the stone house, Yue Lang fell down, clapped his hands and said, "It's done."
Li Chengdao stood at the mouth of the canyon, looked at the blocked passage, and said, "You have blocked the passage, how do you get through?"
Yuelang pointed to the 10,000-meter-high mountain peak and said, "Turn over. When I came out, I came from the top of the mountain."
Such a height is impossible for ordinary soldiers.
It's not impossible for inhuman warriors like them.
"Hmph, you think you can stop Long Chen by blocking the passage? How ridiculous!"
Li Chengdao mocked arbitrarily and didn't care about Yue Lang's feelings at all.
"I know that if I can overcome it, Long Chen can also overcome it."
"The purpose of blocking the passage is to create trouble for Long Chen. They have a lot of ordnance that they can't get through."
What Li Chengdao could think of, Yue Lang could also think of.
By blocking the Storm Canyon, Long Chen's crossbows and artillery can't get through.
"Let's go, time is precious."
Yuelang was the first to climb up.
Yan Shou followed Li Chengdao and asked, "Your Majesty, are you really crawling over?"
Li Chengdao said coldly: "Do you have any other ideas?"
Yan Shou was helpless, but fortunately the Dragon Slayer Army only brought cold weapons and no heavy loads, so it was not difficult to climb over.
"All soldiers, follow me up the mountain! Get over it!"
Yan Shou gave the order, and the Dragon Slayer Army climbed up one after another like ants climbing up a tree.
These Dragon Slayers came out of the ice field and knew what was inside, so they were not afraid.
The black turtle looked up at the mountain peak, feeling very interesting.
"Mother, I
Can we crawl over too?"
"Yes, you two follow mother and don't run around."
Li Chengdao took the black turtle and the spiritual snake up slowly.
The rocks in Storm Canyon are only a few hundred meters high, and the peaks are 10,000 meters high. It looks easier to browse from the canyon.
In fact, the rocks in Storm Canyon are unstable and the storm is raging, making it safer to climb the mountain peaks.
So, they chose to climb the mountain.
far away.
Feng He lay in the snowdrift, holding a telescope and quietly watching the army at the Hera Pass.
After everyone climbed up the mountain, Feng He slowly put down the telescope.
"It's strange, how could this happen?"
Feng He always thought that all the ghost soldiers had returned to the ice field, but he did not expect that Li Chengdao actually appeared here with an army of more than 6,000 people.
"Master Feng, what's going on?"
The spies under my command also felt incredible.
Feng He tried hard to think for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out.
"I can't figure it out. My brain is not strong enough. Maybe King Wu can figure it out."
"Let the trust eagle fly immediately, be careful not to let the people of the Black Forest see it."
Feng He was hiding in the mountains next to the Black Forest. There was a large lake here, which was once the place where Wu Sheng hid his troops, but was later completely destroyed by Long Chen.
Two spies sent by Cheng Hui were lurking in the Black Forest, and Feng He knew about it.
But when Yuelang came out, Feng He didn't notice it because Feng He was focused on whether the ghost soldiers were dispatched on a large scale.
If Li Chengdao hadn't commanded too many ghost soldiers today, Feng He wouldn't have noticed.
Feng He wrote the information, and the spies waited until dark before releasing the letter eagle.
"There must be something fishy."
Feng He did not dare to be careless anymore and kept his eyes on the Hera Pass.
.
Cloud City.
Long Chen hurriedly walked into the empress's room, where Master Ziyun and Master Miaoyin were muttering something. "Wei Chen."
"Don't be polite, sit down and talk."
As soon as she entered the door, the empress picked up a letter and handed it to Long Chen.
"Yu Fuguo said that there are traces of a large number of ghost soldiers stationed in the cliff caves in the grassland, and the number may be around 10,000."
The reconnaissance team sent by Yufu State received a reply, confirming that the barbarians were right. There were indeed a large number of ghost soldiers stationed in the grassland and they had eaten many barbarians.
After getting the news, Yufu State immediately sent a letter to Yuncheng.
After the empress saw it, she immediately consulted with Long Chen.
After taking a closer look, Long Chen was very puzzled: "About ten thousand, so many ghost soldiers staying in the grassland cliff cave is unreasonable."
Such a large number of ghost soldiers will definitely find ways to return to the ice field instead of staying there.
"The strangest thing is that the ghost soldiers first spent the winter in the cliff cave of the barbarians, then went to the barbarians' sacred mountain, and then headed west."
Master Ziyun has already seen it, and she also feels that things are very strange.
Miaoyin said: "Could it be that we got separated? Can't find the way back? Now we have found it again, so we are heading west back to the ice field?"
"There are so many ghost soldiers, do you want to send troops to intercept them?"
Long Chen calculated the time, shook his head and said: "It's too late, you should go back."
The empress said: "I don't understand. There are so many ghost soldiers left in the grassland. Why don't the Martial Saint and the ghost girl send someone to contact and search?"
Miaoyin said: "It was unclear how many casualties there were in the melee. Maybe they thought these ghost soldiers were dead."
This possibility exists. At that time, it was dark and there was a melee, so it was difficult to determine the damage.
Master Ziyun said: "The ghost clan has blocked the Storm Canyon. The martial saint and the ghost girl may be seriously injured and have no time to take care of them."
These possibilities all exist and can be explained.
However, Long Chen just felt weird, always feeling that something was wrong.
"Feng He should be able to see so many ghost soldiers returning to the ice field. When his information arrives, he may be able to make a judgment."
Long Chen didn't dare to make any judgments, he just firmly believed that there was something wrong with it.
