"Since Zheng Xuan is here, he will definitely not play chess according to the direct routine, and he will tell everyone to be ready for battle at any time."

Since Zheng Xuan had already gone to the enemy camp, it proved that his previous guess was not wrong, and King Xuanyuan was related to this incident.

It's just that the enemy army is from the Southern Chu Kingdom, how long has King Xuanyuan known each other?

And what is the relationship, this is what Mu Chen wants to figure out and investigate the most now, so that he can bring down King Xuanyuan.

Li Huanzhi nodded his head, looking at the map, a trace of grievance flashed in his eyes, every time in the past few days, it was the people of the Southern Chu State who took the initiative to attack and then retreat.

He couldn't be happy even if he wanted to fight a good battle, so he asked, "Okay, but don't we take the initiative to attack, general?" ”

Mu Chen's deep eyes fell into contemplation, and said: "You said before that every time you attack, they will choose to retreat, and it should be Zheng Xuan who should be waiting, but now that Zheng Xuan is in the opponent's military camp, it means that they will not retreat if they take the initiative to attack." ”

Li Huanzhi was so happy that he patted his chest, "That feeling is good, I haven't fought happily for too long." ”

A hint of deep thought flashed in Mu Chen's eyes, Zheng Xuan was not a simple opponent, and he had to discuss a good strategy to attack, "This is not in a hurry." ”

Li Huanzhi was a little puzzled, and he didn't understand that he could fight now but not fight, "Why?" Checkmate. ”

Mu Chen turned his head sideways, his deep gaze fell on him, and his thin lips hooked up a faint smile, "Have you forgotten who Zheng Xuan is?" ”

"King Xuanyuan, do you mean King Xuanyuan is also here?"

Li Huanzhi blurted out, and after seeing his expression, his expression began to be shocked, and he said the question in his heart.

Mu Chen shook his head, "He won't come, and he won't dare to come." ”

After seeing Li Huanzhi's expression even more confused, he explained: "Once he appears in the camp of the Southern Chu State, do you still need to directly search for evidence of his collusion with the Southern Chu Kingdom?" ”

After hearing this, Li Huanzhi's excited heart calmed down relatively well, "Oh, I understand." ”

Mu Chen thought for a while, and said loudly: "I'm going to go out to survey the terrain in a while, you don't have to follow." ”

Although he now understood the previous combat methods of the Southern Chu Kingdom, in order to win this war, he still needed to personally understand the surrounding environment.

This is conducive to his deployment of troops later, and he can also understand the local situation.

Song Mingyue heard his words as soon as she came in, and when she looked at Mu Chen with bright eyes, she said, "I'll go too." ”

Mu Chen's handsome brows furrowed slightly, but he was afraid that she would be too stuffy in the camp, so he nodded and agreed.

Seeing this, Song Mingyue instantly breathed a sigh of relief, and her delicate goose egg face immediately smiled.

When Mu Chen saw her smile, he felt that his whole heart was melting, but he didn't want outsiders to see such a beautiful side of her.

He came to Song Mingyue domineeringly, took her hand and walked out, "Let's go." ”

Song Mingyue didn't know what he was thinking, so she nodded with a smile, "Hmm." ”

The Tianshan Mountains are cold all year round, and as soon as the two of them walked out, the gas they breathed out instantly turned white.

At this time, there are snowflakes in the sky, and the thick white clouds seem to be only a foot away from people, and the scenery is picturesque.

But Mu Chen didn't have the heart to appreciate it at the moment, he looked around with a cold expression, and secretly wrote down the terrain.

Song Mingyue is not like him at all, enjoying the silence and beauty at the moment.

Suddenly, when she saw a blooming snow lotus growing on the edge of the cliff, she jumped up for joy.

"It's a snow lotus, and it only blooms in the coldest places, and it's extremely hard to see."

Mu Chen's consciousness was pulled back to his senses, looked along her fingertips, and asked, "You want it?" ”

Song Mingyue nodded, she didn't want it, she wanted it very much!

"Legend has it that the snow lotus of the Tianshan Mountains is rare to see, and it is no less precious than a century-old ginseng."

After hearing this, Mu Chen's deep star-like eyes moved, as if he was thinking about something, "I'll take it down for you." ”

"No, it's too dangerous, it's rare to see, but it's an icy cliff that can easily fall down." Song Mingyue frowned and shook her head.

She thought for a moment, her eyes hardened, and she took out the climbing chains from the space.

"I'll go up, and if I accidentally fall, you can catch me."

Mu Chen looked at the iron rope on the mountain, flashed a trace of curiosity, and when he saw Song Mingyue flying up lightly, his heart couldn't calm down for a long time.

If such an iron cable is used in this attack, it can attack the Southern Chu State silently and catch them off guard.

At this time, Song Mingyue came to the side of the snow lotus, and when she saw the snow lotus close at hand, her good-looking lips outlined a good-looking arc.

With a chuckle, she reached for it.

But at this time, suddenly there was a sharp arrow shooting in the direction of Song Mingyue in the distance, and before her hand could touch it, she was stopped from moving.

She raised her head slightly, and when she looked at the cold ice that was about to crack, her beautiful forehead instantly wrinkled into a small mountain.

At the last moment, she reached out to pick again, and the rope loosened because of her multiple shakes.

As she was picking the snow lotus, the rope couldn't hold on to the cracked ice, and she fell halfway up the mountain.

After Mu Chen heard the sound of arrows, he looked around vigilantly, and when he saw a black cloak emerging not far away, his expression instantly became cold.

He was about to chase after him, but when he heard the movement behind him, he immediately turned his head and saw Song Mingyue slipping into the air.

His angular face became gloomy, he snorted coldly, and jumped and hugged Song Mingyue.

However, at this time, the second arrow shot in their direction again, and this time Mu Chen was already on guard.

He blocked it with his sword when he heard the sound of air oppression, but also took a few steps back.

Song Mingyue looked at his dark face and said worriedly, "Are you okay?" ”

Mu Chen shook his head, put her on the ground, looked at the person who was repeatedly provoking not far away, and said angrily: "I'll meet him, you wait for me here." ”

Song Mingyue replied lightly, "Be more careful." ”

Mu Chen snorted lightly, and his sharp gaze fell on the cloaked man like a sharp sword.

In a few breaths, he had already come to the man in the cloak, and with an expressionless face, he drew his sword and stabbed the man in the cloak directly.

The man in the cloak didn't seem to expect him to be so fast, his expression suddenly changed, and he struggled to deal with his sword.

Mu Chen looked at him with cold eyes and said coldly, "Who are you?" ”

The man in the cloak snorted coldly, and did not answer his words, but made a more violent move.

Seeing this, Mu Chen stopped talking nonsense with him, turned his sword coldly, and stabbed it on the cloaked man's body.

Although the latter fell and avoided it, his hand was still cut by him, and blood came out in an instant.

The man in the cloak glanced at his injured arm, and became more struggling to deal with Mu Chen's moves again.

He pondered, looked at Mu Chen and snorted coldly, turned around and fled.

Song Mingyue also rushed over at this time, and when she saw the figure about to escape, she didn't hesitate to pull out a slender silver needle from her waist and stab it towards the man.

The latter snorted, but did not dare to stay, and forced his body to leave.

"There's no need to chase, he was hit by my five poisons, and if there is no antidote within three days, he will die of poison."

After Mu Chen heard this, he stopped, looked at her delicate face, and was worried that she had been injured just now, "Did you hurt just now?" ”

Song Mingyue felt his hot gaze, her face immediately flushed, she lowered her head and shook her head gently, "No, his purpose is not me, it's more like this snow lotus." ”

A trace of complexity flashed in Mu Chen's eyes, thinking of the man's move just now, "He is not from the Southern Chu Kingdom. ”

"Not the Southern Chu Kingdom? So he's a resident of the neighborhood? ”

Mu Chen denied her speculation, "No, I suspect it's someone from the Cangxue Sect. ”

Because of the cold in the Tianshan Mountains, there will be no local residents within a radius of ten miles.

Song Mingyue thought that she would have to go to the Cangxue Sect to exchange for thousand-year-old ginseng, and her good-looking brows instantly wrinkled, "If that's the case, did we anger the people of the Cangxue Sect just now?" ”

"No, although the person just now is a member of the Cangxue Sect, he is bound to win the Snow Lotus, which means that he has been waiting here for many days, which is not the consistent style of the Cangxue Sect."

Song Mingyue suddenly realized, "In this way, that person's medical skills are also very good." ”

After hearing this, Mu Chen said directly: "I'll let Iron Blood investigate." ”

Song Mingyue snorted lightly, and in doing so, she could also investigate and see what kind of sect the Cangxue Sect was.

When the time comes, when they exchange it for thousand-year-old ginseng, they will be more prepared.

When the two returned to the Tianshan camp again, the sky was already gray, and Li Huanzhi saw that the two had not come back for so long, so he wanted to take someone out to find it.

"You're finally back."

"Well, something happened." Mu Chen nodded and said loudly.

Li Huanzhi was curious and worried: "Have you met someone from the Southern Chu Kingdom?" ”

When he went out just now, why did he forget that the people of the Southern Chu Kingdom were ruthless, so Mu Chen and them were on guard?

"Except for the people from the Southern Chu Kingdom who come out from time to time, do the people from the Cangxue Sect have activities nearby?" Song Mingyue shook her head and asked.

Li Huanzhi thought carefully for a while, "Yes, but it is very rare for people from their sect to come to this area. ”

Approaching the two camps here, the Cangxue Sect is not such an unwise person.

After hearing this, Song Mingyue and Mu Chen looked at each other, and they both understood the meaning from each other.

It seems that their guess just now was correct, the man in the cloak was from the Cangxue faction.

Even though Li Huanzhi's head turned slowly, he reacted when he looked at the expressions of the two, "Did you meet someone from the Cangxue Sect just now?" ”

"Hmm." Mu Chen snorted lightly and called Iron Blood in.

"This is the Cangxue Sect, you take this map to find out the location and check if anyone in their sect has been poisoned today."

"Yes, General." Iron Will nodded respectfully and withdrew.

At this time, in the Cangxue faction, in a relatively remote house, a man's lips were black, and sweat the size of a bean appeared on his forehead.

"Senior brother, bear with me." A delicate-looking girl frowned slightly when she saw the silver needle on his back.

The man snorted, looked lonely, and said guiltily: "Senior sister, I'm sorry, I didn't help you get the snow lotus." ”
