Chapter 284: Exploring the Secret Alone
"Go in person?" Kou Long heard this, his face showed a look of horror, and he exclaimed: "Chief Leader Ye, the situation ahead is unknown, and now it has been deduced that there may be a killing array ambush, you are alone, it is too dangerous!"
"Commander Ye. Ding Jiang clasped his hands into fists, bowed to Ye Guan and bowed lightly, and said, "If you really need someone with advanced cultivation to go and investigate, you will be willing to go." ”
"The last general is also willing to go!"
"The last will go!"
Before Ding Jiang's words fell, Ren Zijin and Tu Xingping got up one after another, hugged their fists towards Ye Guan, and their faces were solemn.
Ye looked at the three of them, his face was flat, the corners of his mouth were smiling, and he said softly: "Generals, don't be excited, whether there is a killing array ahead of this is also what Ye Mou thinks, and there is no evidence." Moreover, I have practiced Feng Dou Qi for many years, and my body is smart, which is faster than several generals, and it is easier to escape if I encounter danger. ”
"Commander Ye. Seeing that Ye Guan still looked confident, Kou Long couldn't help but show an anxious look on his face, and was busy: "General Leader Ye is the commander of the three armies, and then the battle in Qiuchang City still needs to be commanded by General Commander Ye.
"Please think twice about Commander Ye!" the other three generals immediately bowed deeply.
For the four generals, the last thing they wanted was for Ye Guan to go to danger. Not to mention that Ye Guan is the main general of this expedition, just based on the reverence for Ye Guan in their hearts, it is impossible to watch Ye Guan go to make a risk. The ability to kill the formation that Ye Guan said had already made them a little worried, if it was really aimed at the killing array of cultivators, it would be useless to cultivate the wind and fighting spirit, and if the formation was launched, it would be the same death.
Ye Guan smiled faintly, sat quietly on his couch, looked at the four generals in front of him, and said lightly: "Do you still know that I am the commander of the three armies?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the four generals immediately knelt on one knee, bowed their heads one after another, and stopped talking.
Ye Guan is a person who does not have a high shelf, he is approachable on weekdays, and he has never said anything to anyone with a straight face. But at this moment, these words came out of Ye Guan's mouth, and the four generals all knew that the Ye general in front of him was afraid that he was a little annoyed, and he was afraid that he would not be able to stop what he just said.
"You four, guard the camp, scouts for thirty miles, if there is a sneak attack, you should withdraw from Zongqiu Mountain, and do not confront the enemy head-on. Ye looked at the four generals kneeling on one knee in front of him, talked softly, and gave an order.
The four generals didn't say a word, they just knelt quietly in front of Ye Guan, and they didn't open their mouths to receive orders, nor did they make the slightest move.
"I need a day to go, if you don't return for a day, you will also withdraw from Zongqiu Mountain, camp outside, and send a letter to Wufeng City at the same time, and ask the general to decide the rest. Ye Guan said softly again, the general mentioned in this sentence is Huang Yongning, who is staying in Wufeng City at this moment.
After saying that, Ye Guan got up, glanced at a few people again, and his figure moved, turned into a green light, and disappeared. He had already activated his wind fighting qi, wrapped his whole body, and quickly ran into the distance.
After Ye Guan disappeared, the four generals got up, looked at each other, and looked at each other.
"What should I do?" Kou Long frowned slightly, and glanced outside the tent, the green mangs that Ye Guan had turned into had long disappeared into the sky, and a bad feeling lingered in his heart.
"What else can I do?" Ding Jiang was a little helpless, got up, slapped his knee hard, cleaned up the dust attached to it, and sighed softly.
"Commander Ye did this, maybe there are some reasons that he can't figure out, so he has to go by himself. Tu Xingping stood behind Ding Jiang, his tone a little helpless.
"This expedition to Qiuchang City, General Leader Ye took every step of the way, cautious and cautious, this time he just disappeared three teams of scouts, and he took the risk alone, but I don't know if what General Leader Ye guessed came true. Kou Long ignored Ding Jiang's tone, sighed, and then looked at Ding Jiang, and said, "You and I have two battalions, division of labor and cooperation, before General Leader Ye returns, there must be no mistakes." ”
"Do you still need to say this?" Ding Jiang glared at Kou Long, turned around and left, Tu Xingping saluted Kou Long and Ren Zijin slightly, followed Ding Jiang's steps, and walked out of Ye Guan's big tent.
Kou Long frowned slightly, he didn't take Ding Jiang's attitude to heart, they had known each other for many years, and he knew Ding Jiang's temperament very well. Glancing back at Ren Zijin, he also saw a strong worry on Ren Zijin's face.
"This time, General Leader Ye went out of the camp alone, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse. Kou Long was a little worried, and this sentence seemed to be said to Ren Zijin, and it seemed to be talking to himself.
"As generals, you and I can only respect the order and do what Commander Ye commands. Ren Zijin said softly: "As for the rest, it's not up to us to control it." ”
"Hey...... Let's go. Kou Long sighed lightly, turned around and walked out of the big tent, Ren Zijin followed closely, and when he came out of the door of the big tent, he looked back at Xu Bao, who was still standing outside the tent at the moment, his eyes narrowed slightly, he didn't say anything, followed Kou Long's footsteps, and walked towards his tent.
What Ye Guan and the four generals talked about, Xu Bao heard clearly outside the hall, and at this moment he looked at the sky blankly, and his heart was heavy.
In the early morning, Zongqiu Mountain is still a little cold, and a thin mist shrouds the mountains, hazy, and it is not real.
Zongqiu Mountain is densely wooded, with a lot of grass and trees, and it is difficult for ordinary people to walk in this mountain stream.
Ye Guan, covered with pale cyan fighting energy, jumped quickly in the forest, jumping from one tree trunk to another, extremely fast, almost without making any sound.
For the use of wind and fighting energy, Ye Guan also said that it is perfect, and there is no need to release fighting energy at this moment, as long as the fighting spirit is wrapped around the body, and the body can be as light as a swallow. What Fang Cai Ye Guan and the four generals said was not exaggerated, just in terms of body method, no one in the entire Dongwang Mansion could stand out from it.
Quickly walk through the middle of the forest, dozens of miles away, and soon arrive.
After about thirty miles of progress, Ye Guan's speed slowed down, and according to his previous analysis, the position that the scouts could probably reach was around here.
Ye Guan stopped on the trunk of a tree and looked around, the surrounding forest was dense, and there was no trace of it. Ye Guan jumped from the trunk of the tree, and landed in the waist-deep grass at his feet, holding his breath and concentrating, carefully perceiving the movements around him.
This old forest of Huangshan is inaccessible, and the weeds are waist-deep, so it is very difficult to find any traces in it. Ye Guan looked left and right, gently brushed away the grass in front of him, and tried not to leave any traces.
In this way, he traveled more than a mile, and in the grass, Ye Guan finally found traces of human activity.
Among the grass, a series of footprints appeared, and the pace was steady, all the way forward.
Ye Guan frowned slightly, there was only one sign of this footprint, and the scout team he shot before had seven people.
With a thought in his mind, Ye Guan did not follow these footprints and marched forward, but went the other way, he wanted to see where the people who left the traces came from.
Time passed, and in a blink of an eye, the sun was already on the top, and the dazzling sunlight shrouded it, but most of them were blocked by the branches and leaves of the towering trees, and the sunlight that could fall was only 12/12.
Ye Guan followed the footprints and walked back, but found that the person who was traveling was circling around something, and he never went straight forward, which made Ye Guan even more suspicious in his heart.
"The scouts sent out before were all lightly armed, and they didn't even wear military boots, and the further back these footprints were, the clearer the footprints became, which should have been left by military boots. Ye Guan squatted in the grass, with the help of the afterglow scattered above his head, carefully checked the footprints in front of him, and walked back, and found that the traces of the footprints were deeper, judging from the lines, it should be military boots.
But there was one thing that Ye Guan had some strange traces, such obvious traces, but he didn't find any traces of his scouts nearby.
There are only two possibilities, either the trail was just left or it was left after the scout had disappeared.
Ye Guan absolutely believes in the ability of his own scouts, they will not miss any clues when they probe information, and when they see this footprint at this moment, there is no trace of their own scouts around, which is very suspicious.
Ye Guan stared, held his breath and concentrated, followed the footprints again, and walked forward.
The more you walk forward, the clearer the traces of the footprints become, and the ground becomes softer and softer.
And the footprints, very abruptly disappeared in a grass, Ye Guan carefully probed the surroundings, and found no trace of footprints, this footprint, as if near this soft ground, suddenly appeared.
Ye Guan's expression moved slightly, he looked up at the branches on the left and right, his eyes narrowed slightly, trying to see any clues on the trees on the left and right, but he didn't find anything.
With his brows furrowed slightly, Ye Guan invoked his fighting spirit, jumped deeply, his body was light, and he landed directly on a tree trunk. Ye Guan moved left and right on the trunk of the tree, looking at the trunk in the air around the place where the footprints disappeared, trying to find clues.
But the strange thing is that there is no trace of this tree trunk, this footprint seems to have disappeared out of thin air, and no trace can be found in the surrounding grass or tree trunk.
Taking a deep breath and purifying his mind, Ye Guan gently jumped down from the trunk of the tree, looking at the place where the footprints disappeared, his heart moved slightly.
Stretching out one hand, two fingers turned into a sword, and a light cyan glow immediately appeared on the two fingers, turning into a short sword that ended in the field, beating slightly between Ye Guan's two fingers.
Stepping on the soft ground under his feet, Ye Guan's heart moved slightly, and with a wave of one hand, the light cyan lightsaber immediately soared, stabbing straight into the ground in front of him. This sword seemed to have pierced into a ball of tofu, without any obstacles, and the light saber in his hand reached the limit that could be extended, which made Ye Guan's expression move.
Scattering the lightsaber, Ye Guan squatted down, inserted one hand into the ground that had just been pierced by the lightsaber, and slammed it outward.
A dark cavern appeared before his eyes.
The cave is long, and with the dappled sunlight, you can't see the end of the cave.
Ye Guan frowned slightly and carefully inspected the surrounding area of this cave. The opening of the cave is extremely smooth, and it is not like what ordinary soldiers say, the person who excavated this cave must be a cultivator, and his cultivation is not low.
The cave is more than half a person high, if you want to enter, you must bend down and bow your head, Ye Guan thought for a while, and bowed down into the cave.
Raising one hand, a glowing light cyan light light appeared in Ye Guan's hand, with this dou qi light group, it can be seen that about five steps ahead, this cave is dark and narrow, and there is no end in sight.
Ye Guan held his breath and condensed, slowly walking in this dark and narrow cave, his mind calm. After walking a short distance, on the floor of the cave in front of him, Ye saw a messy footprint, which did not come from one person, but from many people, and the shoes worn by these people were not the same kind.
"Two groups of people. Ye Guan said to himself, the traces of these two footprints were not left by his own scouts.
After carefully examining the footprints in this cave, Ye Guan frowned slightly, and on both sides of this cave, there was a fork in the road.
