Along the way, Meng Jingwen was not as depressed as Yang Jin expected, but seemed to be a rare quiet and comfortable after leaving Mu Lingtian, Meng Jingwen was a little lonely when she turned around at the last glance of the camp, but on this section of the way towards the Demon Cave Canyon, she felt that there was something to do, and some places needed her, a feeling of not relying on others and being self-reliant was very good.

"Since Mu Lingtian first kindly helped, I seem to have forgotten this feeling." Meng Jingwen thought secretly in her heart, and at the same time recalled Jia Chuan, who suddenly appeared that night, and the words he mentioned.

If Mu Ling Tiantian really changed her mind on the way to fight for imperial power, she would not be able to complain about others, but Meng Jingwen believed that she would be able to rely on herself to break out of the world.

"Ahead is the Demon Cave Canyon, everyone should be vigilant and vigilant." Yang Jin is the leader of the right action this time, and when he saw the destination, he guided the five people, including Meng Jingwen, and looked around, only to see two more tall cliffs in front of him, and the cliffs seemed to be very close, if there was not a gap in the sky, most people would think that there was a mountain peak in front of them for the first time, and there was no way forward.

The lower part of the valley is different from the narrow one above, but it is very spacious, there are two large rivers wide, Meng Jingwen looked carefully, and felt that if an army of 10,000 people came, it could be accommodated in a row.

"If someone bothers to set up an ambush on top, then the people below will inevitably be hit hard." Meng Jingwen said.

Yang Jin is an old man in the organization, and naturally understands what Meng Jingwen said, indeed, if an army of tens of thousands of people walks through here, even if there are only a few hundred people on it, as long as they are well prepared and start a battle, it will not take long for those wooden stakes and boulders that roll down from the cliff and the extremely fast speed to easily solve the 10,000-person army, and if it doesn't work, it will be burned with fire, trapping people inside, and burning them alive.

"Zhang Quanyi, Su Motong, Xu Biao, the three of you go to the cliff on the left, don't act easily when you find the enemy, only be responsible for visually measuring the number of people and the various positions of the fortifications, remember, only show your figure when necessary." Meng Jingwen and Yang Jin glanced at each other, and then Meng Jingwen took over the command, in this regard, she Meng Jingwen would not be far behind, and then assigned the task.

After the three of them answered, Meng Jingwen did not delay any longer, and walked to the right cliff with Yang Jin, at this time, the sunshine of the morning sun poured on Meng Jingwen's face, and the whole person looked radiant.

Yang Jin felt that Meng Jingwen was also cheerful, not bound by trivial matters and dragged along with the mud and water, some people like them who acted vigorously and resolutely, and immediately accelerated their pace to keep up with Meng Jingwen.

The purpose of Meng Jingwen's trip was to see if there was an ambush in the Demon Cave Canyon, and to take a look at the surrounding environment, so as to quickly evacuate along a safe route in response to emergencies.

Sure enough, as she had guessed before, after Meng Jingwen cautiously climbed the cliff on the top of the mountain, she saw the protective fence of the wooden stake besieging the city not far away, as well as the camp tents of the same size, lined up in three or four columns, and there were two sentry platforms at the gate of the barracks, and the two sentries also stood on top and watched the surroundings vigilantly, but fortunately, Meng Jingwen and the others hid in the bushes and did not attract the attention of the sentinels.

Meng Jingwen asked Yang Jin to remember the fortification points, and he was responsible for visually measuring the number of people, and now he counted them one by one, the military camp of Nuoda, if you add the one on the left side of the cliff, I am afraid that there will be no less than five hundred, which is two hundred more than the more than three hundred people in Tianjian before, and it is difficult to occupy this dangerous terrain.

"Two hundred and seventy-one, two hundred and seventy-two, two hundred and seventy....." Meng Jingwen counted, and after a while, her eyes counted from the periphery of the barracks to a big tree tent in the barracks, from Meng Jingwen's angle, she could see that there were three or four people inside, one of them was gorgeously dressed, and she knew at a glance that she was not an ordinary person, and the other was carrying a long sword, and the gray clothes under the long sword were a little tattered, looking a little cold, and incompatible with the other people in the camp, and the back looked lonely; There are the remaining two people, both of whom are wearing armor, and they should be the generals of this military village.

"Miss Meng, do you think something is wrong?" Yang Jin drew the layout of the entire military village on a blank piece of paper, completed his part, and turned to look at Meng Jingwen, who happened to meet Meng Jingwen in a trance.

Meng Jingwen smiled without saying a word, pointing in the direction of the four people in the military village to show Yang Jin.

Yang Jin frowned at first glance, a little stunned, and sighed: "In my experience, there are big people, but what is even more peculiar is that the one who carries the long sword should be a tricky person, just by looking at the standing posture, I already know that this person's skills are above me, and this dress, from the back, looks like a sword maniac that everyone is afraid of!" ”

"Sword maniac?"

Yang Jin is a killer, although he has lived in the capital for a long time, he also pays attention to the size of the rivers and lakes from time to time, and he can be regarded as half of the people in the rivers and lakes, and then explained to Meng Jingwen the origin of the sword maniac one by one.

Yang Jin's evaluation of the man in gray clothes was so high, Meng Jingwen couldn't think of it, and then Meng Jingwen had some calculations in her heart, and she didn't dare to act easily.

"If we can't capture these camps, we can only sneak through the canyon at night, but it's not worth the risk of falling from the cliffs of the canyon and chasing after the sword maniac." Meng Jingwen said.

"With the strength of us and the gate master, it is impossible to capture this city." Yang Jin thought about it for a while, and finally came to the conclusion that Meng Jingwen also agreed, but after a while, Meng Jingwen's eyes suddenly lit up, and she said with a smile: "Yang Jin, have you ever said that this person of the sword maniac will do anything to fight for the life and death with the person above him in the sword path?" ”

Meng Jingwen's smiling appearance was really frightening, and Yang Jin replied carefully: "Yes, what does Miss Meng think?" ”

Yang Jin would rather risk his own death, and he definitely didn't dare to let Meng Jingwen fight with the sword maniac, if Meng Jingwen followed him with half a point, Mu Lingtian would not be furious, and he would not want to stay safe in the entire Chu State.

Meng Jingwen pondered and said, "Since this is the case, it will be easy to do." ”

"Miss Meng, absolutely not!" Yang Jin was so frightened that he and Qiu Ming, another killer who followed them, also knelt on the ground, but Meng Jingwen was startled, Meng Jingwen hurriedly went to help Yang Jin up, but Yang Jin refused to get up, and said: "Miss Meng, if you encounter the slightest accident, the villain can't afford the anger of the door master, and please Miss Meng look at the villain's wife and children, don't act rashly, if you meet a sword maniac, you will definitely die!" ”

Meng Jingwen didn't expect Yang Jin to be so afraid of Mu Lingtian, but she also felt normal, that guy's background was incomprehensible, maybe Yang Jin also knew some of Mu Lingtian's more frightening methods, so he didn't care about everything to stop himself, but at this time, Meng Jingwen thought to herself: "Could it be that in the eyes of outsiders, she is so important in the eyes of Mu Lingtian?" ”

Meng Jingwen's original intention was not to really risk her own life, and then said: "I'm not going to fight for my life, but to outwit, as long as the sword maniac in your mouth is such a person who is not afraid of money and life and death, then I have a way to deal with it, and I will not lose my life." Every word Meng Jingwen said was very serious, so much so that when Meng Jingwen was helping the two of them up, Yang Jin hesitated for a moment and finally got up with Qiu Ming, with doubts and a slight relaxation on his face.

"Miss Meng really won't fight for her life?" Yang Jin asked again.

Meng Jingwen felt that Yang Jin, a big man, was quite cute for a while, and then smiled: "No doubt." ”

With this sentence, Yang Jin's heart finally let go of half of it, and then asked again: "How does Miss Meng plan to act?" ”

Regarding Yang Jin's question, Meng Jingwen did not intend to answer this time, but said with a smile: "Keep it secret for the time being." ”

The situation on the side of Yunxiao Mountain is still quite clear, but in the capital, it has set off another wave, and the people have rumored that the war ahead has suddenly reversed, since Anguo Gong Meng Jiancheng retired from the battlefield due to illness, the front war changed generals, and for a time it was defeated one after another, and the court was in turmoil for a while.

The Beijing Baili Huafang Corridor is an industry under the name of Mu Junsi, with delicious food and wine, and beautiful women as companions, dancing girls are charming and seductive, Mu Junsi looks relaxed, sitting in the banquet, so uncomfortable.

However, on the side of the seat, a second-class official doctor who was nearly fifty years old was anxious, whether he was looking at the beauty as a companion and looking at Mu Junsi, who was staggered, and stopped talking.

"Second Highness, the battle ahead is stalemate, the emperor is restless, it is the time for His Highness to show his talents, please..."

When only Mu Junsi and the scholar were left, Mu Junsi said casually: "Lord Xu Hua is too anxious, the state banquet has not yet arrived, and the position of the crown prince has not yet been decided. ”

Xu Hua pondered Mu Junsi's words, but after a while, Xu Hua said: "Has Your Highness ever thought that if you send troops to pacify the border this time, then Your Majesty will definitely pay more attention to the Second Highness, and then the Second Highness will have a greater chance of ascending to the ceremony, and ...... And this state banquet, who said Lichu? ”

The first half of Xu Hua's sentence is understandable, but the second half of the sentence is meaningful to people like Mu Junsi, the father and the emperor don't want to set up a prince too early, so hold a state banquet and release rumors, don't you want to see if the power of the prince under his knees is too big, and he wants to balance the situation in the court?

Mu Junsi thought about it carefully, couldn't it be that his father wanted to eradicate the prince who threatened his current position?

Among the princes, the most favored are Mu Junsi and Mu Hao, since this is the case, Mu Junsi has to consider Xu Hua's proposal to go to the front battlefield to avoid the limelight for the time being, but Mu Junsi is suspicious and suspicious of Xu Hua.

"Where did you get this news from Lord Xu Hua?"

Xu Hua saw that Mu Junsi finally got interested in this matter, and his mood improved a lot, and then said: "When the old minister and his friend Zhang Gonggong in the palace broke up at a court meeting, they mentioned it in private, saying that His Majesty said a few words after drinking once, and the meaning of the words is what the old minister said before. ”

This old thing, sure enough, has a lot of eyeliner around his father, and Mu Junsi thought to himself that he had to let Xu Hua's hand go, lest one day he end up dead.
