That night, the eight figures quietly left the camp, and no one knew about it except the Tiandala, and everything was as usual.

Two days later, in the evening, at the edge of the stone forest, Fei Duo observed the surroundings and pointed upward: "Go to the top." ”

Sneaking all the way, most of the scale troops in the stronghold are not able to defend and are very inactive, but the interior is very tense, and it seems that something big is about to happen. Trying to listen to it to no avail, they didn't dare to go deeper, so they all went around and went straight to the target location.

After confirming that there was no danger, they rushed upward, and the other generals took out their fire-wielding swords, opened the distance, surrounded 'him', and pounced together on the pillar-shaped stone mountain they were pointing to, which was nearly a hundred zhang long, and stood on it, and could be seen far away.

Coming to the top, they landed in front of a few broken boulders, Fei Duo and Xiao Yifeng submerged in the cracks of the stones, and the others scattered around the boulders to guard the vigilance.

Gong Yuan is injected into the eyes, the visual distance rises greatly, and the light of the moon looks into the distance, and the external scene of hundreds of miles is displayed in front of you like a panoramic painting. Endless points of light, dense or sparse, meandering, at the end seem to be connected with the stars in the sky, some points of light are still moving, thinking that they are warships on duty, faintly, there is a horn sound of changing guards, in fact, it is just an illusion that the wind blows through the ears.

The scale army was so strong that the hearts of the two of them sank, and they suddenly felt that the victory had become very slim.

Xiao Yifeng said: "After the defeat of the Xuanting army, we withstood the fierce attack of the scale army, and after more than half a year, the war gradually calmed down, with an average of less than ten fierce battles breaking out every month. About half a month ago, the situation changed, and their attacks suddenly became stronger. ”

Fei Duo's tone was heavy: "That's right, after a few hand-in-hand, I feel that the soldiers they sent have significantly improved in terms of equipment and quality, and the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers is far above our army." Otherwise, after holding on for so long, there has never been a matter of losing six strongholds in three days in a row. Ben will have a premonition that in a foreseeable period of time, there will be a big operation in the scale army, and our army will face unprecedented pressure, and if it is not done well, the whole army will really be annihilated. ”

"The last general suspects that the scale army that is fighting against our army has come to the big guys! Otherwise, relying on the current main general Hai Xuanmiao, he will not be able to play such a trick. Xiao Yifeng said.

"Oh, what big news did your spies find out over there?"

"Hmm. For several days, a large number of troop transports have taken off and landed in the enemy camp, and there seems to be a change in the depths of the camp, and many generals have gathered there, but we cannot penetrate deep into the interior, and what exactly happened is unknown. ”

"Looks like we'll have to dig deeper!" Fido blinked.

"No, you can't. You are the main general, and you can't afford to lose!" Xiao Yifeng was startled and actually shouted.

"Only by grasping the movements of the enemy army will we know what to do next. Fido made a gesture of silence

"Then let's leave it to the spies planted by the last general! General, the last general will send a message to them to investigate deeply at any cost, and there will be news back at dawn. ”

"No need, let's take the four generals from the south, east, west and northwest to leave now, and return before dawn, you just wait a minute. Rest assured, just to the periphery of the rocky beach, you will not really go deep into the enemy camp. If you don't go through it yourself, if you don't witness it yourself, you will have no bottom in your heart, and you don't know how long it will be. Fei Duo secretly had other plans, and his words were mysterious.

"That'...... Let's go together, if the situation is good, there will be a good response! The last general will know an underground secret passage that leads directly to the middle of the rocky beach. It's safer and faster than diving out of the ground. Xiao Yifeng saw that persuasion was ineffective, so he had to help Fei Duo in turn.

Back to the ground, led by Xiao Yifeng, the generals followed, walking in the opposite direction, walking and stopping, very careful. More than two hours later, the sky brightened, and we came to a place of rubble.

Xiao Yifeng rhythmically knocked on a boulder several times, repeated it several times, and as soon as he stopped, the surroundings fell silent.

Suddenly, the boulder shifted sideways, revealing a secret opening that could only be passed through by one person. Xiao Yifeng flashed in, and the others did not hesitate and followed up one after another.

Then, the boulder closed quietly, barely making any sound. A person appeared behind the door, glanced at Xiao Yifeng, and the others ignored it directly, turned around and walked straight towards the depths of the cave, without saying a word.

Xiao Yifeng led the generals to follow, turning around for a long distance, first in the gap under the rocks, then underground, after passing through a stone path, into a low cave hall.

The man who led the way stepped back, still not saying a word.

Xiao Yifeng lit a lamp on the stone wall, and the light shone four or five holes on the other stone walls, and I don't know where it leads. After a while, a person walked out of each cave entrance, saluting Xiao Yifeng, and turning a blind eye to Fei Duo and the others.

Fei Duo glanced at them, and found that these people were not wearing military uniforms, their expressions were dull, they were not smiling, they were ready to do it, and they were well-trained.

For irrelevant people and things, never ask a word, and don't say a word about what shouldn't be said. Strict tone, rigorous behavior, what to ask, what not to ask, what to say, what not to say, no need to be reminded at all.

Obviously, Xiao Yifeng secretly controls a force. Fido had known about their existence for a long time, but had never seen them, and this was the first time he had come into contact with some of them.

To be honest, if it weren't for some tacit understanding with Xiao Yifeng, established a cooperative relationship, and trusted each other, Fei Duo would never have tolerated the existence of such a force that was completely out of his control.

Fei Duo's 'trust' in Xiao Yifeng is based on his relative weakness and compromise, that is to say, he lacks the power of self-protection in the army, and takes the initiative to support himself in order to protect himself, and he reciprocates the protection he wants.

Xiao Yifeng's 'trust' in Fei Duo is based on the strength and intention of 'him', at first he was not afraid of the scale army alone, and he also killed the scale general to save himself, and later gathered and reorganized the remnants of the army, forcibly served as the main general, continued to confront the scale army, maintained and stabilized the situation, and showed strong personal combat power and excellent ability to lead the army.

Of course, there are deeper reasons, Xiao Yifeng's identity is too special, there are not many people who really know, but there are many generals who can guess one or two, not to mention that when the defeated army is unstable, even if it is usually necessary to take strict precautions, so as not to rebel and cut off his head to the enemy, the power behind him exists in the dark to have a deterrent effect, and it is easy to use it at critical moments, and it is impossible to stay by his side to protect himself from time to time. If a general takes a risk, an ally like Fei Duo can better and more timely protect his own safety, and the incident of Yu Shanchuan is the best example.

In addition, Feiduo is different from other generals, he has nothing to do with the imperial court, does not belong to any force in the imperial court, and has no contradiction with himself, plus 'he' himself is a deputy general.

Xiao Yifeng judged the situation and chose to support Fei Duo, cooperate with 'him', and take charge of the army together. Of course, he also kept a hand secretly, and did not hand over the power behind him, but showed one or two from time to time, showing that he was not a completely soft persimmon, if he had a different intention for himself, then he still had to weigh it.

The two have reached a delicate balance in this regard, as long as they do not touch each other's bottom line, for example, Xiao Yifeng overrides Fei Duo's military power, or Fei Duo wants to grasp the power behind Xiao Yifeng, then maintaining cooperation or alliance is not a problem.

They all understand this, and they haven't broken it, and they have supported each other to persist until now.

"Old owl, what's the situation?" Xiao Yifeng didn't give any explanation to the Fei Duo generals, but asked a person who came directly.

"Rest assured, Lord, that the passages are normal and completely unobstructed. The old owl bowed respectfully and replied.

"Good. Thank you for your hard work, after this trip, I will send someone to replace you, so that you can go to the rear to repair well. ”

"There's no need to be so troublesome, everything is fine here except for the hard time of day. It seems to be dangerous, but it is actually the safest. The old owl refused.

"It's dawn now, we'll be here for half a day, we'll set off at noon, we'll be able to arrive after dark, we'll be able to return tomorrow before dawn. Xiao Yifeng made arrangements, and the words were said to Fei Duo and the others, as well as to the old owls.

Fei Duo made a gesture, and the generals dispersed, each looking for a place to meditate and pranayama, and no one said a word.

The old owl replied: "No problem, when the time comes, I will call you on the road." ”

As he spoke, the people who came retreated into the cave and disappeared.

Fei Duo paid attention to everyone's movements when pranayama, and sure enough, the four generals seemed to choose four directions to sit down very casually, but in fact they were very arranged, not only surrounding themselves in the middle, but also coincidentally, just right, half-blocking the other four except for the passage that came in.

In the dim light, the four generals seemed to be still there.

Xiao Yifeng was a little nervous, always paying attention to the movements of the four of them, and the brothers of the Yu family sat beside him, looking as usual. The corners of Feido's mouth couldn't help but curl up an arc, and the others seemed to smile very strangely.

In the end, the four generals did not take action, apparently deciding that the current situation was unclear and was not the best time to do so. For example, he didn't know how many people were ambushed in each cave, but Xiao Yifeng and the brothers of the Yu family sat around him, as if they were deliberately guarding against them.

After entering the cultivation state, time naturally flies quickly. Footsteps sounded, and one by one they opened their eyes. The old owl appeared in front of everyone again, glanced at it, and without saying a word, turned around and left. Xiao Yifeng was the first to follow, and the others followed, submerging into the hole he came out of in turn.

The lights on the wall flickered, no wind extinguished, and everything fell into darkness, except for the faint sound of footsteps, farther and farther away, and at last, completely silent.

Night fell again, in the middle of the east of the rocky beach, in the place of strange rocks, there was a big rock suddenly moved to one side of the line, and several figures jumped out, scattered in all directions, looking around, sneaky.
