Early the next morning, the army pulled out of camp.

Xiao Wuji found that Nangong Mountain's attitude towards himself had become much colder.

Of course, he didn't care.

After all, the two are actually hostile, and it is reasonable to have this attitude.

And every time Nangong Mountain eats after that, he has to let the military doctor taste a bowl first, and only after confirming that there is nothing before he dares to eat it into his stomach.

For two days, no further anomalous events occurred.

But Li Feibai found that as the army marched, there were more and more guards around him.

When asked Nangong Shan the reason, he explained that the closer he got to Baijiang, the more dangerous it became, and Qiancheng Pavilion might send someone to assassinate him at any time, so he sent more guards to protect himself.

Li Feibai thanked him for his kindness, and he knew very well in his heart that Nangong Mountain was just worried that he had a problem, or that he would flee to Baijiang, so he would send a few more people to watch over him.

It doesn't matter, let you jump for a while, and when you return to Jinglin, let you call the heavens and the earth unspiritual. Li Feibai said secretly in his heart.

On this day, the army passed through the mountains and forests, and there were two almost parallel forks in front of it, and as seen by the naked eye, there seemed to be no difference in size and direction.

With a wave of his hand, the vanguard stood in place, pausing its advance.

He dismounted and carefully observed the two roads in front of him, constantly shaking his head and frowning.

"Why is this different from the marching route?" He muttered quietly.

As a pioneer officer, he naturally knew the route of the march by heart.

"Pioneer, why don't you leave?" Nangong Shan was riding on a horse, and when he saw that the army had stopped advancing, he shouted from afar.

When the pioneer officer saw Nangong Mountain's question, he quickly turned his horse's head and came to him.

"Lord Wang, there is a fork in the road ahead."

"What's wrong with the fork in the road? Haven't we encountered many forks in the road along the way? Just follow the route of the march." Nangong Shan scolded.

"But the king...... The route of the march was a bit different from the actual route, and the map marked that there was only one road here, but there were two almost identical roads ahead." The pioneer officer frowned and reported.

"Two identical paths?" Nangong Shan's face was full of doubts, and then he was relieved: "Since the two roads are exactly the same, they must have the same end in different paths, and it is the same if you take any one."

This......

Li Feibai kept sneering in his heart: As far as Nangong Mountain's combat strategy is concerned, let alone 50,000 troops, even if it is 500,000 troops, it is not enough for others to cut down.

"Lord Wang, be careful, I'll take a look." Xiao Wuji was helpless, so he could only come out and say.

Turning the horse's head, Xiao Wuji walked out of the army and came to the fork in the road.

He jumped off his horse, took a look at the fork in the road, then crouched on the ground and pondered it, and then at the rocks that lay in the middle of the fork.

"Lord Wang, what is he doing here?" Mo Fugui couldn't help but ask.

"Hmph, it's just a lie, just a ghost." Nangong Shan was still angry with Xiao Wuji, so much so that his judgment was still subjective and conjectural.

Li Feibai said secretly: This Xiao Wuji still has some ability.

Moments later, Xiao Wuji returned to the army.

"How?" Nangong Shan tilted his head and asked.

"Lord Yu, after investigation, I found that these two forks in the road are simply the same road." Xiao Wuji replied decisively.

"What did you say? The same path?" Nangong Shan's face showed a look of doubt.

"Commander Xiao, these are obviously two different forks in the road, why do you say that they are just the same road?" Mo Fugui said in a strange manner.

"The two forks in the road seem to be different, but in fact, their geology, the stones and sand on the road are exactly the same." Xiao Wuji replied confidently.

"You can see that?" Nangong Shan was a little unconvinced.

"Marching all year round, these are essential skills." Xiao Wuji felt that this was an excellent opportunity to give King Zhao's camp a long face, so he continued to taunt:

"Not only those, but also the ravines created by the flowing water on the road, are connected on both sides, and even the degree of weathering of the sand and gravel is exactly the same, which shows that the two forks in the road were actually the same as our march route not long ago, just the same road."

"Then why are they now two forks in the road?" Nangong Shan continued to ask.

"Lord Qi, the reason why this avenue has become a fork in the road is because it is cut off by some sand, stone, grass and trees in the middle. The last general has just investigated, these sand, gravel plants and trees seem to be natural, but they don't belong here, and their texture and degree of corrosion can't match the stones on the ground."

"Commander Xiao, don't sell it, just say the reason." Mo Fugui saw that he was constantly showing off his skills, and couldn't help but stop him.

Ignoring his words, Xiao Wuji said decisively: "This shows that this avenue was artificially cut off not long ago, and the other party wanted to create the illusion of a fork in the road for our army."

"Artificial partitions?" Nangong Shan was shocked and thought of the problem.

"Could it be that the other party knew our marching route in advance and set up an ambush here?"

As soon as these words came out, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his back.

Nangong Mountain, who has never marched and fought, also knows what will happen if he is ambushed, and there is a high probability that he will die.

"Papapa"

Li Feibai couldn't help but applaud, and said, "Xiao has a good ability to lead, and this little detail can be seen."

"What do you think, Fei Li?" Nangong Shan still subconsciously wanted to ask Li Feibai's opinion.

"What the prince just said, not necessarily, we have more than 50,000 people, the goal is so big, it is easy to be detected by the Thousand Cities Pavilion, they may guess the route of the march according to the direction of our march." Li Feibai naturally couldn't let him know that the marching route had already been leaked out by him.

Hearing him say this, Xiao Wuji spoke again: "Whether they know the route of the march or not, it is difficult for the general to say, the only thing that is certain is that this avenue is indeed artificially divided into two forks."

"So what are we going to do?" Nangong Shan asked everyone.

He started to get a little nervous.

"Lord Wang, I think it's quite simple, since the other party wants us to take a fork in the road, then let's not do it." Mo Fugui came out at this time.

"What does Mr. Mo mean?" Xiao Wuji turned sideways to him.

On this trip, he also wanted to test the bottom of everyone in the Qi Palace, so Xiao Wuji kept asking.

"They can artificially block the avenue, and we have a lot of troops, so if we move the sand, gravel, grass and trees in the middle, and still walk the avenue, won't they be able to succeed?"

Hearing this, Nangong Shan's eyes lit up.

"That's right, no matter what the other party wants to do, let's take the avenue, won't they be able to succeed in their tricks?"

"I didn't expect you to have such thoughts." Nangong Shan will not be stingy with his praise for Mo Fugui at this time, because he can suppress Xiao Wuji's arrogance.

Li Feibai smiled secretly in his heart and didn't say a word.

"The order was given, the army stopped advancing, and the vanguard officer led five thousand soldiers to move the rocks and trees in the middle of the mountain." Nangong Shan immediately ordered.

"Yes!"

Suddenly, the 5,000 sergeants put down their weapons and began to work as coolies.

Although these are nothing to them who have been fighting for many years, the cold winter is dry, and after a while, 5,000 people lick their chapped lips and pant.

"Commander Xiao, when will we be able to cross this wilderness? We're running out of water."

Seeing the sergeant's thirsty appearance, Nangong Shan asked.
