Outside the stronghold, in the woods, a squad of guards was patrolling along the route.

"It's not been peaceful in Linxiang City recently. ”

"Yes, I heard that tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are looking for us. ”

"We are deep in the mountains and old forests here, and trying to find it is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack. ”

"But if they find us, they will surely die. ”

"What are you afraid of, we have been born and died so many times, this is cowardly. ”

"Whatever you're arguing about, be quiet. The leading officer turned his head and shouted.

"Wow. ”

"Wow. ”

The sergeants behind him immediately shut up, they were all Ye Shikai's personal guards, and they didn't know how many times they had been on the battlefield, and they were all experienced soldiers, so they were naturally not afraid of death.

"Your Excellency has an order, we have to patrol extra carefully recently, although there is no one around here, but the hunters from more than ten miles away may come here to hunt, and there are countless mechanisms in this wood, so be careful." The officer reprimanded.

"Yes, Captain. ”

"By the way, why are there only nineteen people, Ahao. The leading officer counted the number of people and found that there was one missing from the ranks.

"This ...... I saw someone else just now, but I disappeared in a blink of an eye. ”

"Look for it carefully. ”

"Captain, I'm here. At this time, a sergeant hurriedly ran out of the woods next to him.

"Where did you kid go? ”

"This ...... I was sick to my stomach just now, so it was convenient to go to the woods over there. ”

"Hmph, hurry back to the team, and you can go back to sleep after the inspection. ”

"Wow. ”

Following.

"Old Ye, I didn't expect there to be a cave behind this waterfall. ”

"That's right, you can't see it from the outside. Ye Shikai muttered, early in the morning, he and Shangguan Jian entered the cave behind the waterfall with a few secret guards, took out torches, and the space inside was much larger than he thought.

"Then how did you find out? ”

"Amount...... Discovered by chance. Ye Shikai smiled bitterly, this cave was detected by the sword soul with divine sense, so you can't tell the truth.

"Let's go, let's go inside. Ye Shikai led everyone to the depths of the cave, but he didn't expect that there was a cave inside, and there were many forks in it, which was similar to the cave that Ye Shikai encountered outside Baimu Village in Bashu, I don't know if there are any surprises.

"Sword Soul, how should I go ahead. Ye Shikai asked.

"To the left. ”

"Then to the right. ”

"Take the third fork in the road ahead and go straight. ”

Ye Shikai led everyone, according to the instructions of the sword soul, and went deeper and deeper until "there is no way out". Qiankun Audiobook.com

"Lao Ye, it seems that there is a dead end ahead, and there is no way out. Shangguan Jian drew his saber and plunged it into the earthen wall in front of him, trying to get deeper, the roads in this cave are intricate, if not man-made, then it is a miracle.

"Sword Soul, this is a dead end. ”

"Dig this dirt wall with all your might. "The sword soul didn't explain, just asked Ye Shikai to dig the wall.

"Good. ”

Ye Shikai commanded the guards to dig up the earthen wall in front of them with shovels, digging about a meter or two, and the soil inside began to loosen, and a lot of dirt rolled down from it.

"Everyone stood back. Ye Shikai commanded, stepped forward alone, propped his hands on the wall, ran the internal force, pushed outward, gradually, the soil on it fell down, and the earthen wall also faintly had a tendency to loosen, Ye Shikai shouted, the internal force was released, and his arms pushed violently, the earthen wall in front of him was finally knocked down, and a trace of sunlight shone in, so that the dark cave finally had a trace of "life".

"Behold, there is light. ”

"yes, there really is light. ”

"This cave has access to the outside world, brothers, dig it quickly. Ye Shikai said loudly, and all the sergeants were also excited, and they stepped forward to dig through the earthen wall.

"Old Ye, outside...... It's the other side of the mountain. Everyone walked out of the cave and looked at the scene in front of them, and they were all amazed, there was a river in the distance, and then behind them, there was a plain of a flat river.

In this way, this cave actually runs through the entire mountainous area, when necessary, it can be used as a back road, since the last time Ye Shikai used the tunnel left by Xu Jia to escape, he has always attached importance to the necessity of the "back road", the so-called cunning rabbit three caves, leaving a back road, sometimes can save everyone's lives.

"That's where we go. Ye Shikai muttered, but he was very excited in his heart.

"Sword Soul, thank you so much this time, this place is simply amazing. "The entrance to the cave is hidden in the waterfall, and it can't be seen from the outside at all, the concealment is very good, and this is exactly what Ye Shikai wants.

"Okay, the back road is used to escape for your life, and it must not be used unless it is absolutely necessary, if it is really used, it must be the time of nine deaths. ”

"I understand that. Ye Shikai nodded in response, in the final analysis, it is best not to use this road never.

Morning.

"Ling'er, why don't you sleep yet. Ye Shikai woke up from his sleep, looked sideways, and found that He Linghan still had his eyes open, as if he had insomnia.

"Husband, I don't know why, I've been restless lately, tossing and turning, and I can't sleep. He Linghan leaned on his shoulder, his face was sad, in Ye Shikai's understanding, He Linghan has always been very optimistic, even if the sky falls, she will not panic, unless it involves Ye Shikai himself, the days in the mountains are peaceful and leisurely, He Linghan actually has insomnia.

"Is it a change of life that makes you a little uncomfortable. Ye Shikai gently scratched the tip of her nose and said with a faint smile.

"Husband, I mean seriously. ”

"Alright, I'll help you. Ye Shikai put his hands on her back and injected an internal force into her body.

"How's that, don't you feel better. ”

"Indeed, it feels like the body...... It's warm, and it seems to be a lot more comfortable. "Internal force can help ordinary people get through acupuncture points, the effect is a bit similar to massage, but the effect is better, restlessness is generally in two situations, one is physical discomfort, because of illness or trauma, He Linghan naturally does not, even if there is, Ye Shikai can also be cured, and the second situation is that there is something on the mind......

"Alright, let's go to sleep. ”

Meanwhile.

A group of men in black were slowly approaching the woods, numbering in the hundreds, their movements were so light that they looked like they were moving from afar, and the men began to infiltrate the depths of the woods from all directions.

"My lord has said that there are many traps in this wood, so be careful with your feet, if you get hit by them, our whereabouts will be exposed. The man in black in the lead said.

"Wow. ”

"Wow. ”
