At Guyuguan, Jin Yilong's face was still ashen as he listened to the reports from his men.
"So, you still haven't found the whereabouts of those murderers to this day?"
As soon as he said this, the expressions of the soldiers under his command suddenly changed slightly. Among them, the captain responsible for investigating the matter hurriedly spoke:
"General, you don't know something. The whereabouts of these men in black are erratic and elusive. Even if we want to find their traces, it is extremely difficult."
"And their strength is extremely strong. According to the observations of my subordinates, any soldier has extraordinary strength. At least he is a low-level warrior."
When Jin Yilong heard this, his expression changed slightly.
"Any soldier is a warrior? If they have such strong strength, wouldn't it be better to attack Guyu Pass directly? What's the point of being so sneaky? It will not have any impact on the overall battle situation."
Speaking of this, Jin Yilong couldn't help but put his hand on his forehead, with a look of thought on his cheeks.
On the other side, the captain under him immediately added:
"What the general said is absolutely true. It is completely meaningless for them to do this. The strategic value they can achieve is nothing more than the lives of ordinary soldiers. But for our Houjin, these soldiers are still worth the loss!"
Jin Yilong nodded slightly, but he always had a vague feeling that this matter was not as simple as what he saw in front of him.
Counting the days, it has been ten years.
These people did not take any further action, they simply ambush and kill, and then cut out the tongues.
They wouldn't do it... just to get the tongue of a living person, right?
etc……
Jin Yilong seemed to have remembered something, and his expression became solemn again.
Deep in his memory, a memory that had been erased and he was unwilling to recall it gradually came to mind.
If there is a group of people who are willing to expend their life force in exchange for tongues, it is only that group of people, that group of rats in the gutter!
Is it possible that... the sect has reappeared?
Thinking of this, Jin Yilong felt his scalp numb.
He is different from the other generals present. He has experienced that era and naturally understands the horror of the sect!
So he made a prompt decision and said:
"Everyone, slow down your actions for the time being. I don't care what method you use. You must get the food and grass for the entire army from the hands of the Prosecution Department."
"In addition, I'm afraid a war is about to start, so be prepared."
As soon as these words came out, all the soldiers under Jin Yilong were confused.
Wait, General, what does he mean by this?
There weren't many of those men in black, they were just a little more difficult to deal with. Why did the general say that a war was about to begin?
Also... He went directly to the Cha Yan Department to seize food and grass. Is the general planning to quarrel with him?
Isn't he worried about retaliation from the Prosecution Department?
Jin Yilong raised his hand tiredly and waved away the group of confused men.
He slowly stood up and walked out of the tent. Looking at the endless mountains and lush trees around him, at this moment, this veteran who had experienced war for most of his life actually felt a trace of nervousness.
He couldn't even remember the last time he was nervous.
Jin Yilong looked at the continuous and towering peaks outside Guyu Pass, and a faint murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
"The Conspiracy Cult has reappeared... It seems that the opponent in this war may not be Da Zhou."
"It's just...will the current king still abide by the agreement he made back then? The sect, the sect!"
Jin Yilong clenched his teeth, but the hatred in his eyes was very real.
The strong anger made his wrist holding the spear tremble slightly. At this moment, a general and a spear stood on the towering city wall. Looking from a distance, they looked so lonely.
However, Jin Yilong didn't realize that there were countless pairs of eyes hidden in the mountains and forests at this moment, staring closely at his every move.
"It seems that Jin Yilong has guessed something. Sir, do you want to take the opportunity to get rid of this person?"
"Get rid of him? It's just a Jin Yilong. In terms of our teaching's grand plan, it's nothing. Getting rid of him now will only cause these Houjin soldiers to fall into chaos, and it's not worth it."
"That's all, keep a close eye on Jin Yilong's every move and let him live for now."
…
"Master's wife, Yu Xiaoyu and I have lived up to everyone's expectations. After going through many difficulties and dangers, I finally contacted Commander Ma and the others."
Yu Xiaoyu looked proud and rushed to Yan Bingyue.
However, Yan Bingyue ignored him at this moment, but listened carefully to the report of his Xichang spies.
"According to our secret investigation, the frequency of activities of the sect has been initially determined."
"We have sent some dishes to try to get in, but their whereabouts are unknown and there is no progress for the time being."
"In addition, we also discovered the power of the old prince and the Xu family..."
The old prince...and the Xu family?
Yan Bingyue frowned slightly. She didn't expect how these two forces got mixed together.
But her brows straightened out.
Anyway, they all have to be caught in one go. It doesn’t matter if they are mixed together, and they will be sorted out in the future, which will save a lot of trouble.
It's just that... judging from their movements, it seems that they are heading towards the headquarters of the sect.
Could it be that... they want to have a head-on confrontation with the Cult?
This kind of dog-eat-dog scenario is rare!
After silently gathering her thoughts, Yan Bingyue noticed Yu Xiaoyu's return.
She just glanced at it lightly and said:
"Have you made contact with Commander Ma?"
Hearing that he was finally asked, Yu Xiaoyu actually felt a little honored at this moment.
"Master's wife, Commander Ma is marching towards here. They will arrive early tomorrow morning at the latest."
"In addition, Commander Ma also brought a lot of detonators..."
"very good."
Yan Bingyue glanced at Yu Xiaoyu approvingly and continued:
"The next task for you is to secretly contact your master. With him as the internal agent, we will look for opportunities to break through the sect's lair in one fell swoop."
"No matter what, we will do our best to completely pull out the nail of the Gui Cult from Youzhou."
After saying this, she glanced at the Xichang secret agent aside and asked:
"Have you ever contacted Hou Jin? Jin Yilong has a deep hatred with the Guilty Sect. If he knew about the movements of the Guilty Cult, he would definitely not remain indifferent."
When the Xichang secret agent heard this, his expression turned bitter.
"Miss Yan, you don't know something. We have reminded those Hou Jin people in many ways about the sect. But they seem to be indifferent to this matter."
"As for the general named Jin Yilong, there was no reaction at all."
"Is this happening?"
Yan Bingyue frowned and looked at the location of Guyuguan from the distance.
After pondering for a long time, she slowly spoke with a hint of sadness:
"Deploy a manpower to keep an eye on Guyuguan's every move."
