Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Canyon

A knife knocked the maid unconscious, Yun Yi picked her up and put her on the bed, and then sat down at the table to silently calm the desire that gradually rose in his heart.

His previous battles outside the palace and his words at the banquet had already left the impression of arrogance on the king of Morus, and the departing guard would have told the king what he had heard, and the king would have thought that he was not only arrogant, but also lustful.

This kind of misunderstanding is what he needs most at the moment, because once he behaves too uprightly, the other side will hesitate to send troops, as long as the other party has a misunderstanding, he will think that he is only a strong individual and not scheming, and after the two countries join forces, the other side will have the opportunity to control the military power.

The next morning, the king sent someone to invite Yun Yi, and Yun Yi took the maid to the king, and he would speak some simple words, and warn the maid not to tell the truth about what happened last night, otherwise he would kill her, and if she was obedient, he would take her out of the country of Molu and go to the country of Molu to live a good life.

After a lot of coercion and temptation, the maid didn't dare to disallow it.

When he arrived at the ground, he saw that Asuka Yuan was also present, and looked at him with a dissatisfied face.

The king called the two of them to come for breakfast this time, and at the same time discussed the matter of sending troops, in fact, there is nothing to discuss in this matter, the real intention of the other party is in the military power, but he did not say it explicitly, but assigned a woman named Sakurako to travel as a prisoner.

After breakfast, the king wanted to stay in Yuanjiang for a few more days, and before Yun Yi could speak, Asuka Yuan excused himself on the grounds that the military affairs of the front line were heavy.

The army of 10,000 was quickly mobilized, and the grain and grass were ready, and the whole army set out in the afternoon, and when he was leaving, Yun Yi made a request to the king that made Asuka Yuan very angry, and he asked the king to send him the maid who had slept last night.

A maid was nothing, and the king naturally smiled and agreed.

Asuka didn't talk to him along the way, anger was one thing, and the other was that the woman named Sakurako was next to the two.

After walking far, Asuka Yuan finally couldn't hold it back, and said coldly: "I really misjudged you." ”

"I didn't do anything to the maid last night. Yun Yi walked as he walked.

"Then why do you want her?" Asuka asked with a straight face.

"It's just a lie to the king. After Yun Yi finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at Sakura, this woman is in her early twenties, and she looks quite handsome.

However, he didn't look at Sakura because she was handsome, but because he could feel the slight aura fluctuations on the other party's body, and there was aura cultivation in his body, and the aura cultivation was not shallow, only half a step away from the realm of Taishi.

Sakurako noticed that Yun Yi was looking at her, and glanced sideways at Yun Yi, with obvious contempt in her eyes.

Yun Yi smiled when he saw this, and his smile was very obscene. Sakurako frowned slightly, and her face showed a deep disgust. Yun Yi laughed twice, and then turned his head away from looking at her.

Since the king sent Sakurako to supervise the army, he must have secretly told her that he was an arrogant, greedy and womanizer, and his actions were also aimed at deepening Sakurako's misunderstanding of him and thus despising him.

The alliance between the two countries was to invade the northern kingdom of Yamatai, and on the surface he was the commander of the coalition forces, but Sakurako's status as the supervisor was undoubtedly to firmly control the army of the Sulu country.

There are only about 4,000 people in the Buhu army at the moment, and the main force of the Northern Expedition is still the Molu army, but as long as Sakurako is in one day, he will not be able to command the Molu army for a day, which will affect his prestige in the army. And Sakurako can also rely on the Molu army to fight against him, and even take the lead.

As long as the other party has contempt for him, his wariness will also be reduced, which is beneficial to him.

Because it is necessary to lead the army across the Kurosawa Mountains, it will take a lot of time, and it is taboo for the commander to leave the camp.

Yun Yi's move is aimed at letting Asuka Yuan go back to stabilize the army's heart, and now although the enemy army has retreated to Yamatai, he is the backbone of the army, and he will inevitably feel uneasy if he does not call the army, so it is not a superfluous move to let Asuka Yuan return to the camp first to stabilize the army's heart.

Yun Yi does not think of himself as a wise man, but he will not boast of being a mediocre, because he does see the long term better than ordinary people.

After Asuka Yuan left, Sakurako's disdain for him was even more undisguised, in her opinion, Yun Yi deliberately supported Asuka Yuan, and his motive was naturally to satisfy his ulterior and dirty thoughts.

Yun Yi naturally didn't know what Sakurako was thinking, but he did show an abominable rogue appearance, although he didn't do anything to Sakurako, but his eyes were very erratic when he looked at Sakurako.

After receiving a few cold glances from Sakurako, Yun Yi retracted his gaze, everything had to be taken care of, he just wanted to deepen Sakurako's misunderstanding of him, and he didn't want to provoke the other party's anger, before these soldiers and horses arrived in Heian City, he didn't want to have any conflict with Sakurako.

After three days of travel, the army finally reached the eastern border of the kingdom of Demeruk, where the Kurosawa Mountains are located.

The Kurosawa Mountains are not incomplete, and in the middle of the mountain there is a narrow gorge that leads directly into the territory of Buhu Province, but the area is often infested with high-level anomalous paths, making the shortcut a dangerous place.

The canyon was extremely narrow, the widest part was only five zhang, and the narrowest point was only one zhang, and at this point, the army was changed from ten teams to two columns, with a thousand cavalry opening the way in front, six thousand infantry escorting grain and grass later, and finally the remaining three thousand infantry.

Yun Yi commanded the Fudo Lu army, and this marching array was formulated by Sakurako.

The reason why Sakurako ordered the cavalry to open the way in front is because her own cultivation is not too high, if there is a profound alien hidden here, she may not be able to perceive it, and the alien senses are naturally stronger than humans, and even sometimes she can predict good luck and evil, even if she can't perceive the profound alien, but the war horse will feel abnormal behavior, which can play an early warning role.

Sakurako's move of exploring the way with cavalry seems to be meticulous, but Yun Yi scoffs, the alien is not only stronger than humans, but also has a stronger instinct to avoid evil than humans, and the first reaction of the alien when frightened is to run back. If there really is a very deep alien dormant in this canyon, the war horse will inevitably be frightened and turn around when it perceives it, and many soldiers will definitely be trampled to death at that time.

Thinking of this, Yun Yi hesitated to tell Sakurako his thoughts, if he didn't tell her, he might lose his troops for no reason, and if he told her, he might make her suspicious, because what he showed in front of Sakurako before was all greedy and lustful.

After hesitating for a moment, Yun Yi still decided to tell her, because greedy and lustful does not mean that there is no scheming, and occasionally showing a wise side should not make her suspicious.

But when he told Sakurako what he thought, Sakurako didn't pay attention to it, and instead glared at him. Yun Yi smiled and retracted his head, and Sakurako looked disdainful when she saw this.

In fact, Sakurako's reaction was expected by him, Sakurako looked down on him and would not listen to his opinion, and the army had already entered the canyon at this time, and it was very troublesome to turn around and go out to regroup.

In addition, through the observation of Sakura in the past few days, Yun Yi found that although Sakura was very disgusted and disgusted with him, her eyes were only fierce and not ruthless, indicating that she had little experience in battle, and the newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, and had never encountered a strong enemy or suffered a loss.

Yun Yi didn't know the exact length of the canyon, but he was sure that it wouldn't be short, because the Kurosawa Mountains were miles apart from each other on the east and west, and the canyon wasn't and wasn't a straight line.

This complicated terrain made Yun Yi a little worried, the canyon was already narrow enough, and there were so many more circles around, if he really encountered a profound monster on the way, the Lu army at the end of the ten thousand years would probably lose a lot.

Fearing whatever came to him, and soon after the march began, the horses ridden by the thousand cavalry who had opened the way in front began to neigh and retreat backwards. Those cavalrymen had never seen such a strange scene, and in a hurry, they hurriedly clamped their legs and urged their horses forward, but this action had the opposite effect, and the horses became more and more flustered.

Seeing this, Sakurako gave a loud order, and the rear army was changed to the front army, and the rear army turned around and withdrew from the canyon.

Yun Yi frowned slightly when he saw this, and the abnormal behavior of the war horse showed that there were indeed alien beings entrenched here, but he did not perceive the slightest demonic aura, which showed that the demon's Taoism was very deep, and it had changed its human form.

It is difficult for an army like a long dragon to turn around in a narrow gorge, although it is a rear army to a former army, but it is not easy to pass orders, and it is not easy for the grain carts and cavalry escorting the granaries to turn around.

Before the infantry in the rear could withdraw, the horses that stepped forward let out a terrifying neighing sound, and the sound echoed through the cliffs on both sides, almost without stopping.

At this moment, Yun Yi found that a figure appeared on the cliff wall a hundred steps away, and when he looked closely, it was actually a barefoot girl who was fifteen or sixteen years old.

There was a raised rock on the cliff wall, and the girl was sitting on the rock with two white feet, and a fat vole in her hand, looking down at the people below, and her mouth let out a crisp laugh like a silver bell.

Although the girl's voice is crisp, there is an inexplicable weirdness everywhere. The vole in her hand was not yet dead, making a subtle squeak, and its four paws were kicking and kicking.

Feeling that the vole was not honest, the girl stopped laughing and lifted the vole above her forehead, then raised her head and opened her mouth, threw the vole down, and swallowed it into her belly.

Yun Yi almost wanted to be disgusted when he saw this, so he forcibly endured the sadness in his heart and took out the drawing talisman and other things, picked up the pen and drew the thunder talisman twice, then drew the sword out of the sheath and walked towards the front of the formation.

Although he couldn't sense the breath on the other party's body, he had already guessed what the girl's body was, this thing swallowed the vole very skillfully, and it swallowed whole, very similar to a snake eating, presumably a long worm that had grown into sperm.

Thousands of war horses did not obey the call and kept retreating, making the already narrow canyon even more crowded, and it was not easy for Yun Yi to squeeze in front of the formation.

He felt a little lucky at this time, thanks to the monster did not show its original form, the demon energy that the war horse could feel was limited, although it was not panicked, if it showed its original form, then these war horses would turn around in panic, and trampling on the dead would naturally be unavoidable.

Just when Yun Yi squeezed forward, Sakura also went forward, but she didn't squeeze forward like Yun Yi, but borrowed from the narrow gap between people, stepped on the ground and volleyed, and frequently pounced forward.

Seeing this, Yun Yi secretly scolded her for being brainless, but after thinking about it, she felt very lucky, Sakurako would not take the initiative to cooperate with him, but her actions helped him inadvertently, and if Sakurako attracted the attention of the monster, he could wait for the opportunity to sneak attack the monster.
