Summer is coming, the training of elite troops is going well, and the time for counterattack is coming.
Long Chen said: "I have carefully analyzed the historical records and found that there were seven possible places where Wu Sheng might have hidden his troops. I plan to take people out to investigate first, and the Holy Lord's army will follow."
After returning from Holy Snow Peak, Long Chen spent most of his time reading historical records, trying to find where Martial Saint might have hidden his troops.
According to the records of the Holy Guard, the Martial Saint and the Ghost Girl retreated to the ice field to sleep after losing the battle.
The ice field is behind the Hera Pass and is frozen all year round.
In the past, Long Chen thought that all the Martial Saint's forces had retreated into the ice field.
But after the battle last winter, Long Chen discovered that this was not the case.
Gao Qinhu and Snow Beast are both in the grassland, which shows that Wu Sheng may have hidden soldiers and horses in other places.
Before Wu Sheng appeared, Long Chen planned to clear out all the soldiers and horses left by Wu Sheng.
As for the Martial Saint and Ghost Girl sleeping in the ice field, Long Chen could not find any clues. He did not know the situation of the ice field, let alone where they were sleeping in the ice field, so they did not dare to cross the Hera Pass and enter the ice field rashly.
"What should I do if the ghost fetus is discovered?"
Miaoyin asked worriedly.
Long Chen said with a smile: "I think the ghost-born Guizhou donkey is at the end of its rope, and there won't be much action this winter."
Master Ziyun asked: "The ghost has been holding back all winter and has not retaliated. Does it mean that there are no more available soldiers and horses in the grassland?"
If Wu Sheng still has soldiers and horses in the grassland, there is no reason why Gui Tai should not retaliate and counterattack.
The ghost's head shrinking like this means that there are probably no soldiers and horses in the grassland. Is Long Chen just trying to make a fool of himself by sending troops out to search for the soldiers and horses left by Wu Sheng?
Long Chen said: "I am also worried. It is possible that there are no soldiers and horses left by the Martial Saint in the grassland."
"But it doesn't matter, we will always send troops, even if we have to walk through the grassland all over again."
"When winter comes, we will at least know the situation outside, and we won't be afraid to send troops to fight."
"I have a hunch that when the next winter comes, the Warrior Saint and the Ghost Girl will also wake up."
Even if we can't find the soldiers and horses left by Wu Sheng this time, we can still get a clear picture of the situation on the grassland.
When winter comes, you can dare to chase the ghosts after winning the battle without having to worry about ambushes like now.
Logically speaking, the barbarians should be aware of the situation outside the customs, but the barbarians did not even know the existence of the ghost tribe before, and they were even less clear about where the troops were hidden.
To find out the situation, Long Chen has to go there himself.
"You can arrange it. When the snow starts to melt, we can leave the customs."
The empress authorized Long Chen to take full charge of military operations.
"The action plan has been formulated, we are just waiting for the winter snow to melt."
Long Chen has already formulated a counterattack plan.
The empress said: "Okay, you go."
Long Chen resigned and left, Miaoyin and Ziyun were still a little disappointed.
"Don't be discouraged, there will be opportunities."
The Empress patted Miaoyin, and Miaoyin smiled and said, "Yes, my sister knows."
Long Chen came out of the room and found Feng He. The two of them changed their clothes and appearance, and rode two ordinary horses towards the horse town.
Yanmen Pass is not far from Ma Town, but the road in spring is very muddy and the running speed is not very fast.
When they arrived at Mazhen, Long Chen and Feng He stopped at the door of an inn.
In spring, the temperature outside is a bit higher, and many guests come out for activities, making it more lively than in winter.
The two entered the inn, but the waiter didn't have time to greet them, so they went in by themselves.
It is filled with all kinds of people, including knights and knights, traffickers and pawns, and everything in between.
Long Chen glanced around and slowly walked up to the second floor of the inn with Feng He.
The bottom is the dining area, and the second floor is the guest room.
The waiter was so busy that he didn't notice Long Chen and the two at all.
When they got upstairs, the two knocked on the door of a room.
The door opened, and there was a man standing inside, it was Zhang Jun.
Long Chen walked in and Feng He closed the door.
Besides Zhang Jun, there was another man inside, it was Lu Ji.
"grown ups."
The two of them greeted each other in unison.
"How? What's their attitude?"
Long Chen sat down and asked, and Zhang Jun immediately replied: "I didn't agree, but my attitude is much better."
Feng He said with a smile: "The change in attitude is because I want to find a way out. I think it will work."
There are two spies living in Mazhen, who were planted by Gui Fei.
Long Chen didn't get rid of the two of them, but kept them, hoping that Zhang Jun would rebel against them and use them for his own use.
Zhang Jun was instigated to rebel because he would die if he didn't surrender, and Long Chen saved his life.
It would not be so easy for the two spies from Ma Zhen to instigate rebellion.
Following Long Chen's orders, Zhang Jun had been having a hard time with the two spies.
At first, when the two spies found out that they had been discovered, they were scared to death and thought they would be chopped up alive.
After Zhang Jun explained Long Chen's intention, the two spies were dubious. They thought about escaping, but Zhang Jun threatened them that if they escaped, they would be killed immediately.
The whereabouts of the two people have been monitored, and it is impossible for them to leave Yanmen Pass.
The two of them had no choice, they couldn't run away, and they didn't dare to really take refuge in Long Chen. The two sides were in a stalemate.
Zhang Jun went to chat every now and then, and the attitudes of the two spies gradually changed.
They are about to leave the border and attack. Long Chen comes here personally to see if the two of them can instigate rebellion.
"I'll go take a look, you lead the way."
Long Chen smiled, it would be best if he could instigate rebellion, if not, then kill him.
Zhang Jun immediately led Long Chen to the room on the left. The two spies were three rooms away from Zhang Jun.
Arriving at the door, Zhang Jun knocked on the door.
There was no response inside. Zhang Jun did not continue to knock on the door, but waited.
After a while, the door opened a crack, and a woman inside squinted at Zhang Jun, and then saw Long Chen behind her.
After the disguise, the woman did not recognize Long Chen and asked, "What are you doing?"
Zhang Jun smiled and said, "Let's talk to you."
The woman was obviously reluctant and said, "There's nothing to talk about, or let us go."
Zhang Jun pushed hard to open the door, and Long Chen followed him in.
"It doesn't matter whether I let you go or not."
Zhang Jun closed the door.
There is also a younger-looking woman inside, who is very good-looking and looks petite.
"who is he?"
The woman inside looked at Long Chen and asked.
After the disguise, his appearance changed, but his temperament remained. The woman could feel the terrifying aura on Long Chen's body.
The woman who opened the door also became nervous, looked at Long Chen warily, and asked: "Who did you bring here!"
Zhang Jun smiled and said: "Don't you want to leave Yanmen Pass? I don't have the final say, this adult has the final say."
Long Chen sat down slowly and looked at the two women carefully. One looked like she was 40 years old, with a somewhat vicissitudes of appearance; the other looked like she was 20 years old, with a petite figure and good looks.
"He? Who is he?"
The older woman frowned and looked at Long Chen.
"I am Long Chen."
Long Chen smiled.
Hearing this name, the two women were so frightened that their legs weakened, and they knelt on the ground and kowtow at the same time: "King Wu, please forgive me, we were just ordered to inquire about information, and we did not kill anyone!"
This reaction is really amazing. Has he become so terrible?
"Get up and speak. I don't want to kill you."
Long Chen pointed to the stool next to him, but the two women did not dare and continued to kneel on the ground.
"Sir, they don't dare to sit down, or will this be the case?"
Zhang Jun knew that they were afraid, and the rule at Guitei was to kneel down, so they were used to it.
"Okay, let's sit on the floor and talk."
Long Chen spoke, and the two of them sat respectfully on the floor, listening to Long Chen's words.
