The person kneeling in front of him was none other than Gu Sibo, who had impersonated him before!
"You didn't take the opportunity to escape?"
Ye Chen couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Having lost face just now and his identity had been revealed, he thought that the other party would take advantage of the chaos and escape.
I never thought that I would actually kneel down and apologize to myself.
"Leader, villain..."
Gusbo blushed, glanced around intentionally or unintentionally, and was speechless.
Ye Chen also glanced around subconsciously and felt relieved instantly.
It wasn't that Gusbo didn't want to take the opportunity to escape, but that he couldn't escape at all.
Because at this time, many guards have surrounded the place. If Gusbo dares to act rashly, they will take him down by force.
After all, his identity has been revealed. No matter how stupid everyone is, they still know that Gusbo is a fake!
This kind of person who dares to pretend to be the leader of the alliance must not be let go easily!
"Leader, this person is pretending to be you, is that what you meant?"
Meng Ping asked cautiously.
The reason why they didn't take action immediately was because they considered whether it might be Ye Chen's own intention.
"no!"
Ye Chen shook his head.
"Since it was not your intention, alliance leader, why didn't you immediately take down this scumbag who was blaspheming your majesty when he pretended to be you?"
Meng Ping said sarcastically: "And when you came to the military camp, why didn't you stand up and make it clear as soon as possible?"
"If I said it at that time, would you believe it?" Ye Chen asked.
"this……"
Meng Ping was even more embarrassed.
Indeed, Ye Chen was too young and looked like a powerless scholar. Even if he stood up and admitted it at that time, they probably wouldn't believe it.
"Leader, how should we deal with this scumbag who dares to impersonate you?"
Mengping hurriedly changed the subject and pointed at Gusbo, who was kneeling and shivering.
"Let him go!"
Ye Chen waved his hand and said to Gusbo: "But don't do this kind of thing again in the future."
"Yes, yes, thank you to the leader for your kindness. I will definitely change my mind and be a new person in the future..."
Gusbo was grateful and vowed to make various guarantees.
But before he finished speaking, Ye Chen had already walked away.
He didn't pay attention to such a small person at all, and he didn't bother to listen to the other person's nonsense.
…
An hour later, inside the military tent.
"Leader, may I ask if you have any further instructions?"
After returning to the military tent, Meng Ping immediately asked respectfully.
Before that, Ye Chen once said that there were still some questions to ask them.
What flattered him the most was that Ye Chen actually gave him the armor-piercing fire dragon's beast elixir.
That is a holy beast elixir. If sold, it would be absolutely worth a fortune.
"In all these years of guarding the border, have you ever seen warriors coming from the southern region?" Ye Chen asked.
What he wanted to ask was nothing more than questions related to going to the Southern Territory.
Although he is going to the Southern Region, he knows very little about the situation there.
So before setting off, it’s best to find out in advance.
"Leader, we in Haoshan have not had any contact with the Southern Territory for many years..."
Meng Ping was quite honest. Whenever Ye Chen asked questions, he answered almost everything he knew.
Soon after, Ye Chen finally understood the situation roughly.
It is true that there has been no contact between Nanyu and Haoshan for many years.
The reason is that the wild forest spans hundreds of miles. It is deserted and full of monsters. Even if a saint-level expert goes deep into it, there is a high possibility that he will never return.
Therefore, almost no one from the Southern Territory dares to come here anymore.
As for Haoshan, there are very few strong people who have reached the holy level. If it is not a matter of life and death, it is almost impossible for anyone to risk going to the Southern Territory.
"It seems that when the envoys came together, they also deceived the border guards!"
While understanding the general situation, Ye Chen finally figured out one thing.
Facing the real strong men, the guards here are almost useless!
Otherwise, when Qi Zhan came over, he would have spread the news to Haoshan Center immediately.
But it wasn't until Qi Zhan showed up at the Phantom Gate headquarters that everyone knew there was an envoy coming from the Southern Territory.
After asking clearly about all the things that needed to be paid attention to, Ye Chen finally started on his way.
…
In the blink of an eye, it was already five years later.
In the past five days, he traveled across mountains and rivers, eating and sleeping in the open air, and encountered countless monsters along the way.
Fortunately, there have always been no near misses.
After all, he is now a warrior at the peak of the Saint level. Even if he encounters some relatively powerful monsters, it will not be difficult to deal with them.
Although the wild forest stretches for hundreds of miles and is filled with monsters, there are not many truly powerful monsters.
Therefore, he could simply ignore the threat from monsters.
However, another question stumped him!
He's lost now!
This wild forest is filled with towering ancient trees and lofty mountains. It is easy for a person to lose his way while walking in it.
Before that, he could always rely on the sun to tell the general direction.
But for the past two days, it had been raining heavily, and it was impossible for him to rely on the sun to determine the direction.
"You won't be trapped and die in this shabby forest, right?"
Ye Chen was a little depressed.
Because he couldn't identify the direction, he didn't dare to walk around randomly. Otherwise, if he didn't know where to turn back, wouldn't the five-day trip be in vain?
"Swiss, swiss, swish!"
Just when he was about to find a place to rest temporarily, a commotion of branches and leaves suddenly came from the distance.
Ye Chen frowned and immediately became alert.
In the past half month, he didn't know how many monsters he had killed and how many beast pills he had collected.
Whenever there is movement, it must be accompanied by monsters.
"call!"
Jumping up, he jumped up to a big tree nimbly.
With the help of the dense branches and leaves, he quickly became invisible.
And the commotion is getting closer and closer.
However, when he saw what was causing the commotion, he was immediately overjoyed.
They were not the monsters he imagined, but a group of people.
There were about thirty men and women, all of them dressed roughly, with wild and bloodthirsty eyes. At first glance, they looked like the kind of tough guy who often licks blood from the edge of his knife.
Especially the leader is actually a woman.
Wearing tight-fitting soft armor, he has a devilishly proud figure, his skin is wheat-colored, and his eyes are as sharp as swords.
Although she is a female, the exposed half of her arm has bulging muscles, full of explosive power.
On his arm, there is also a tattoo of a lifelike black panther, which seems to be more wild and domineering than a man.
"There is actually a mercenary group here?"
Ye Chen could roughly guess the other party's identity just by looking at him.
But what surprised him was that in the depths of this wild forest, monsters were rampant and dangers abounded, so no one should easily set foot there.
To actually see a group of mercenaries here is simply a miracle!
However, when he heard the other party's subsequent conversation, he was even more overjoyed.
