Ye Guan let out a long breath and stopped thinking about these things, he felt that the ground under his feet was getting softer and softer, and he also knew that the entrance to the underground palace was under his feet, but now, he didn't have the slightest intention to open the hole and enter to check.

It's just because of Ouyang Jianming's sudden appearance that Ye Guan had a big idea of finding out before. He mentioned Huang Yuchen, but Huang Yuchen was very important to the East Palace, and Ye Guan couldn't take risks.

"Maybe this cave involves a very hidden secret, and this secret is very involved, I am afraid that it will cause a catastrophe, so it is better not to move for the time being. Ye Guan calmed down, at this moment, the surrounding ice sculptures were rapidly dissolving, and the ice crystals on the grass and trees quickly turned into dew, dripping on the ground, making the surroundings a little damp, and the grass and trees that were originally frozen were exposed as they were, still as green as ever.

It was as if nothing had happened, but Ye Guan's mood was much heavier than before.

No longer thinking about these things, Ye Guan summoned his fighting spirit, jumped up on the spot, jumped straight onto the trunk, spread his body, and quickly ran towards the direction of the camp.

By now, he could understand why there was no one near the mountain, not even a single sign of a hunter. And on this high mountain, he did not find any large beasts, not even a hare. In the entire forest, no other life was found except for flying insects.

The range of dozens of miles in this comprehensive hill mountain pass may have long been a forbidden area. When the East King Mansion first arrived, he didn't know about this secret, even if he heard the rumors about it before, he thought it was just a legend.

The legendary book about the enclave that Ye Guan read in the camp before mentioned the legend of Zongqiu Mountain, but Ye Guan didn't take it seriously at all, but at this moment, he personally experienced the matter of the hundred miles of forbidden land mentioned in the book.

He is a high-level martial artist, and he cultivates wind and fighting qi, and his mind is clear, even he almost fell into an illusion forever, let alone ordinary people.

I don't know how long the formation on the top of the mountain has existed, and the underground palace in the deep mountains doesn't know how many years it has existed. Ye Guan always felt that the dungeon he had entered in the illusion before was the dilapidated appearance he saw later, and the neatly arranged tomb secret room also left an extremely deep impression on him.

This matter was deeply buried in Ye Guan's heart, he didn't plan to tell anyone, and the march of the East Wangfu had to continue.

Shen Tuyan would definitely not give up Qiu Changcheng easily, and he must have known about this comprehensive Qiu Mountain Great Array before, and as for the people behind him, they must also know. It's just that it can't be analyzed now, whether Shen Tuyan and the others know the secret behind the big array.

On the way back, as when I came in, there was no danger. The trees gradually flourished, Ye Guan's figure was as fast as ever, he walked quickly on the trunk, and the whole person's figure was like a wisp of fresh wind, without making a sound, like a ghost.

After an hour's effort, Ye Guan returned to the camp, his figure flickered, and he went straight back to his big tent, only then did he withdraw his fighting spirit, and walked on the road in front of the big tent, gasping slightly.

Xu Bao has been guarding in front of Ye Guan's big tent, even if Ye Guan left, he has not moved, until this moment, there has been a day and a night of hard work, he saw Ye Guan walking back from afar, immediately stepped forward and knelt on one knee.

"Xu Bao, I've seen Commander Ye. Xu Bao knelt down on one knee and said respectfully.

Ye Guan glanced at Xu Bao lightly, sighed lightly, and said in a low voice: "Xu Bao, you go down to rest, come back at night, I have something to tell you." ”

"......" Xu Bao lowered his head, heard Ye Guan's voice, and then said, "Honorable Order." ”

Ye Guan didn't speak again, went straight into his tent, sat cross-legged on the couch, his eyes closed.

He had to scrutinize what he had seen and heard today, and at the same time consider the route of the march that followed. Everything he found today had nothing to do with this attack, he only needed to lead his army away from these areas to go straight into the Qiuchang City area, after all, taking Qiuchang City was the first thing to do now.

Seeing Ye Guan enter the tent, Xu Bao got up, thought for a while, stopped bothering Ye Guan, turned around, and walked to his station.

Xu Bao was in the barracks, he didn't belong to any legion, he only obeyed Ye Guan's orders, although he had doubts in his heart, but looking at Ye Guan's appearance, he couldn't speak.

Ye Guan returned without informing anyone, and with his style, it was easy to avoid the sentry and patrol of the barracks, so no one knew the news that Ye Guan had returned.

The four generals in the barracks were anxiously waiting for Ye Guan to return, and at the same time, they had already begun to arrange for all the sergeants to take strict precautions against a possible surprise attack.

Time flies by.

Three hours later, nightfall.

Ye Guan slowly opened his eyes, a hint of clarity flashed in his eyes, he had already analyzed the previous feelings, and after meditation and pranayama, he had completely returned to normal at this moment. raised his eyes to look, but saw that Xu Bao was already standing outside the account and was on duty.

With a faint smile on his face, Ye Guan said, "Xu Bao, come in." ”

Xu Bao was slightly stunned when he heard this, immediately turned around, and saw that Ye Guan had woken up, so he immediately entered the camp tent, knelt on one knee, and said, "My subordinates are here." ”

"You have a rough formation, and I have something to do with you. Ye looked at Xu Bao and said softly.

When Xu Bao heard this, he paused slightly, and immediately said, "Please ask the commander-in-chief to command." ”

"Out of the camp, enter the Zongqiu Mountain for thirty miles, look for the traces of the three scout teams, and bring them back. Ye Guan said softly: "There is something you need to think, the three teams of scouts who disappeared before should be fascinated by illusions, if you find them, don't try to crack the formation, just pull a few people out of the illusion, if you see any formation, remember not to touch it." ”

When Xu Bao heard this, he immediately said: "Subordinate Order!"

"Also, before leaving the camp, call a few generals, they have been waiting for a long time. ”

"Honorable Order!"

Xu Bao took the big camp in his mouth, then got up, exited the camp tent, and went to the garrison of several generals to pass on Ye Guan's orders.

Ye looked at Xu Bao's back, his eyes narrowed slightly.

He could conclude that the three teams of scouts who had entered the deep mountains before must not be in danger of life, and at this moment, they must be standing near the light curtain as before, fascinated by the illusion and unable to extricate themselves. If left unchecked, the scouts will be permanently lost in the realm and eventually die. Let Xu Bao go to find them, because Ye Guan knew that Xu Bao was rough enough to understand the formation, and it was still possible to wake up a person who was confused by illusion, but he didn't have any ability to use the formation, even if he found a few teams of scouts, he couldn't bring them back safely.

Xu Bao is still useful in the future, and he can also use this matter to test this person's loyalty.

After a while, under the leadership of Xu Bao, the four generals came to Ye Guan's camp tent in a hurry, Xu Bao made a report and entered Ye Guan's big tent with the four generals.

Ye Guan sat cross-legged on the main seat, looking at the four generals below with anxious faces, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Xu Bao took a step forward, clasped his fists with both hands, and said to Ye Guan: "Commander, my subordinates are going." ”

Ye Guan nodded when he heard this, and said, "Go ahead, you must remember not to touch any formation." ”

"Subordinates understand!" Xu Bao responded, saluted respectfully, and then turned around and walked out of the camp and went straight to Zongqiu Mountain.

"Generals, please be seated. ”

Xu Bao walked out of the tent, Ye Guan glanced at the four generals who were still standing in place at the moment, stretched out his hand, and motioned for a few people to sit down.

"Oh, Consulate General. Ding Jiang saw that Ye Guan's face was as light as ever, but he had been in a hurry like a hot pot ant in the camp for a day: "What did you find out when you went out this time, and you didn't notify us when you returned to the camp, so we are not in a hurry." ”

"Yes, Chief Leader Ye. Kou Long also immediately said: "What is there in this Zongqiu Mountain? Is there really an ambush in the enclave? How are we going to march behind?"

Immediately, the two generals, Tu Xingping and Ren Zijin, also spoke, and the meaning of their words was inseparable from the tone of inquiry.

Ye Guan smiled, as light as ever, looked at the four generals in front of him with anxious faces, and waved his hand lightly, signaling them to be quiet.

After a few people quieted down, Ye Guan spoke: "A few people are a little restless, or sit down and talk." ”

Hearing Ye Guan say this, the four generals sat down in priority and priority, but the anxious look on their faces did not diminish by half a point, and they all looked at Ye Guan and waited for him to speak.

Ye Guan smiled faintly and said in a low voice: "This time I entered Zongqiu Mountain, I have found out the internal situation, it has nothing to do with Qiu Changcheng, and there are no ambushes, I already know the reason for the disappearance of the three teams of scouts before, and I have sent someone to find it." ”

After that, several generals were stunned, originally thinking that Ye Guan would find clues about the enemy army when he went out this time, but listening to Ye Guan's meaning, there seemed to be nothing in Zongqiu Mountain?

"General Leader Ye, what have you discovered in Zongqiu Mountain, can you tell me one or two?" Ding Jiang was the first to speak, he understood what Ye Guan meant, what was in Zongqiu Mountain, but it had nothing to do with Qiu Changcheng.

Immediately, the rest of the generals also surrendered to Ye Guan one after another.

Ye Guan, on the other hand, shook his head lightly and said, "At this time, it has nothing to do with this war, don't ask a few generals, and ask a few generals to return to the camp, wait until tomorrow morning, pull out the camp and go straight to the hinterland of Qiuchang City." ”

As soon as he said this, several generals were stunned again, Kou Long was puzzled, and asked: "Commander Ye, let's just go in directly?" What if there are ambushes on the road, this comprehensive hill and mountain are steep, and the official road is not wide, our cavalry can't pass quickly, if we are ambushed in the middle, it is unimaginable." ”

The rest of the generals also expressed their opinions, and this time their opinions were relatively unified, the terrain of the mountains was complicated, and the cavalry was very easy to encounter ambushes when entering, and if there were no precautions, they would definitely be caught off guard.

Seeing this, Ye Guan chuckled and said: "Rest assured, generals, I have my own way, and I also ask a few generals to go back with peace of mind, prepare to start tomorrow, and at the same time prepare for battle, after entering the hinterland, war may start at any time." ”

Several generals looked at each other, Ye Guan said so, and they could only do it, then got up, clasped their fists at Ye Guan, and said, "Respect the order." ”

Immediately, several generals withdrew from Ye Guan's camp and returned to their own station, preparing for the opening of the camp tomorrow.

The faint moonlight sprinkled in, and Ye Guan sighed softly.

He couldn't predict what would happen next, but he vaguely felt that this trip to Qiu Changcheng might exceed his expectations.
