The Forbidden Demon Valley, located in the northwest of the capital eight hundred miles, is only a hundred miles away from the Julu Pass, it is precisely because the Forbidden Demon Valley is used as a barrier, so if you want to attack the Dayong capital, you have to bypass the Forbidden Demon Valley and use the Julu Pass as a breakthrough.

In the Forbidden Demon Valley, the terrain is complex and the environment is different.

In the southeast, there is a vast desert, the scorching sun can dry people, but in the north of the Forbidden Demon Valley, it is a land of ice and snow, and the cold wind howls all year round. To the south, there is a vast tropical forest.

At this time, at the desert entrance of the Forbidden Demon Valley, a group of more than a dozen people set up tents.

Further inside this place is the scope of the Forbidden Demon Valley, and very few people usually come.

Ye Jun was half-lying on a stone, looking at the six roads, and his eyes swept over the desert with amazement.

This desert is different from ordinary deserts, the sand here is not yellow sand, but a mass of red sand, and it looks as if the whole desert is burning.

It is said that Emperor Yongding once killed a peerless demon beast here, and the blood of the demon beast was sprinkled on the earth, staining the sand and gravel red. Because of the blood of fierce beasts, no vegetation can grow in the desert, and even poisonous insects, snakes and ants cannot survive.

Ye Jun grabbed a handful of sand, sensed it slightly, and couldn't help but sneer.

It's all bluffing, there is no bloody smell in these sands, but there is a kind of realgar smell, is it possible, is it to rely on realgar to drive away poisonous insects, snakes and ants here?

The group not far away were all guards, and they were ordered here by Ye Jun with a holy decree.

However, these guards obviously didn't take Ye Jun, the emperor, seriously, and the group fought in the sand, drinking water, and meditating.

After frolicking, the group sat around and whispered, "Could it be that we are really messing around with the emperor?" Enter the Forbidden Demon Valley to die? ”

"I don't know which bastard mentioned the Forbidden Demon Valley to the emperor, causing us to run to this hellish place. I'm not going to go in anyway. ”

"I won't go in either, if the emperor really wants to go in, then let him go in by himself, so I won't accompany him to death!"

The people who can be guards in the palace are not ordinary people, most of them are meritorious nobles, and they usually eat and drink in the capital, but they come to this ghost place to play with their lives, isn't that a joke?

These people are very sorry for their lives.

"If you want me to say, let's get some medicine for the emperor at night and quietly bring him back, anyway, one or two fools, what can he understand?"

"Brother Chen, you haven't said a word all night, give some advice!"

All eyes were on the young man sitting in the middle.

This person's name is Ye Xingchen, who is only in his twenties, but he is old and serious, and he also has royal blood, so he is the leader among the guards.

Ye Xingchen opened his eyes slightly, and said expressionlessly: "We are the emperor's guards, since the emperor is going to enter the Forbidden Demon Valley, we will accompany him for a while." ”

After a pause, Ye Xingchen continued: "But the emperor's safety is the most important, you can't go to the depths of the Forbidden Demon Valley, there are only some low-level demon blood beasts flowing in the outer desert, don't worry, let's accompany the emperor for a walk, kill a few beasts with demon blood blood, even if the task is completed." ”

Everyone was very convinced of Ye Xingchen, and said one after another: "Brother Chen is right. ”

"Brother Chen is a great martial arts master, and it is not a problem to kill some low-level demon beasts. With Brother Chen this time, we might be able to get a few demon beasts to try! ”

Everyone seemed to have a backbone and let go of the worries in their hearts.

Ye Jun lay far away on the stone, deaf to these things, and the atmosphere was very quiet, like the dead silence before the storm.

The night wind whined and suffocated the bonfire.

Whoa, whoa, whoa

In the distance, among the sand dunes, there was a terrible, fox wolf's cry, like a wild beast howling the moon, which was terrible.

"What's that?"

A trace of panic flashed in the hearts of the guards, and when they saw Ye Xingchen suddenly get up, the others also stood up.

"There are enemies!"

In the moonlight, a dark shadow galloped forward, and behind the team, the red sand was trampled into the air, forming a red veil in the moonlight.

"It's a sand bandit, protect the emperor!" Ye Xingchen recognized the other party's origin, his face changed slightly, and he hurriedly said.

"Sand bandits? Is that the sand bandit who plundered the passing merchants in the desert and killed people? ”

"In order to rob the passing merchants, isn't the old nest of the sand bandits in the red sand near the edge of Julu Pass, how could they come here?"

Ye Jun stood up, and saw in the distance, there were figures and buildings, and there was a sound of hooves. On the sand dunes in the distance, figures poured over like a tide, with a murderous aura.

Keeping his mind on his eyes, he saw the tide of people rushing by, all of them wearing scale armor, riding camels, and holding huge scimitars, carrying bows and arrows, hundreds of them, coming from all directions.

Those camels, all white-haired, running like flying, are the "white dragon camels" in the desert, comparable to a thousand miles of horses, explosive power, speed, are extremely fast, people ride on camels, as if sailing with the wind.

"Is this the legendary sand bandit?"

When Ye Jun inquired about the information of the Forbidden Demon Valley, he also learned about the origin of the sand bandits by the way.

The so-called sand bandits are actually a group of border robbers who rely on raiding merchants who enter and exit the customs to survive.

Once, whether it was the Great Yongguo or the surrounding Daxian Kingdom, the Great Yan Kingdom had sent troops to encircle and suppress the sand bandits. But these sand bandits are slippery, they run away as soon as they find that they can't be defeated, and in order to avoid the round-up of the army, they set up their base camp in the desert of the Forbidden Demon Valley, so that the imperial army cannot go deep, and they are helpless against them.

According to past experience, the sand bandits are all plundering outside the pass, and they will never run into the pass. But how did it suddenly appear here?

Is it for him, the emperor?

It's not just Ye Jun who thinks so, Ye Xingchen also thinks so. Other than that, I really can't think of any other possibility.

"There is a traitor in the DPRK!" Ye Xingchen secretly hated in his heart.

The news that Ye Jun came to the Forbidden Demon Valley, in addition to their group, was only known to some high-ranking ministers in the court. And as soon as they arrived in the Forbidden Demon Valley, the sand bandits came, how could it be so coincidental? It must be that the ministers of the court saw that Dayongguo was crumbling and in danger, and it was difficult to hold on under the siege of the Three Kingdoms, so they planned to prepare a retreat in advance, so they secretly colluded with the sand bandits, killed the emperor, and added a fire to the crumbling Dayongguo, and it could also be regarded as a vote.

However, this is not the time to think about this, even if you want to track down the traitor, you have to finish the battle.

"Array, shield, protect the emperor!" Ye Xingchen shouted.

However, these guards are all recruits who have never seen blood and have never been on the battlefield, and the more rapid the sound of horses' hooves, the more panicked they become. Each of them has a shield in their left hand and a knife in their right hand, and they plan to go it alone!

As for protecting the emperor? We'll talk about it later. If the emperor really dies, it's a big deal to change another one, anyway, the emperor died a lot this year!
