After Long Chen came out of the secret room, he immediately walked to Yu Wenkai's room. As soon as he arrived outside the door, he saw Yu Wenkai sitting outside the door, holding a wine jar in his hand, while Yang Hu and Tan Wenyue were walking around anxiously.
"coming!"
When Yang Hu saw Long Chen, he turned to look at Yu Wenkai, pointed at Long Chen, and shouted happily.
Yu Wenkai raised his head and saw Long Chen striding towards him, his eyes narrowed into a thin line, and he threw the wine jar aside. He stood up happily and said with a smile, "That's how it feels!"
Long Yuan and Di Feng were practicing in seclusion back then, and this was how they felt after coming out.
"A bit like General Long."
Deputy General Tan Wenyue stepped forward and squeezed Long Chen's body.
Yu Wenkai came over, Long Chen bowed and said: "Old General."
Yu Wenkai walked up to it, looked at it carefully, and said with a smile: "Brat, fortunately you made the right bet."
Last night, Yu Wenkai had been waiting for news, fearing that Long Chen might make a mistake.
Long Chen said with a smile: "Thank you, old general, for your concern. This junior is extremely smart and his guess is right."
Yu Wenkai laughed loudly and said: "Fart, you are so smart, you guessed wrong last time."
At first, Long Chen thought that he could break through by gathering the first blood of the four princesses.
It turned out not to be the case at all.
Lieutenant General Yang Hu smiled and said: "General, this guy is really smart. He pretended to be public for his own benefit and deceived four princesses."
Yu Wenkai smiled and said: "Yes, the brat just wanted to deceive the four princesses. He only used the right method after he succeeded."
Long Chen laughed awkwardly. In fact, he really didn't know, and he really didn't intend to play the collectible card game.
"The cultivation of the juniors and the Holy Master has improved, but I don't know how the Martial Saint Ghost Girl is. Only by playing against each other can we know how good she is."
The empress said that she had broken through the true realm, but that was actually wrong, because there was no breakthrough in the realm, she just became more powerful.
Yu Wenkai said expectantly: "Martial Saint will arrive tomorrow. I hope to see General Long's style tomorrow."
Long Chen smiled and said, "How dare you compare yourself to your ancestors."
Yu Wenkai shook his head and sighed: "General Long was already over 40 years old when he broke through. How old are you!"
For Long Chen to have cultivated to this point at such an age, even if it was four hundred years ago, it would still be an extremely powerful existence.
To be fair, Long Chen has surpassed Long Yuan.
Yang Hu and Tan Wenyue nodded slightly, both of them felt that Long Chen was awesome.
"The old general has been over-honored, and the younger generation cannot deserve it."
Long Chen also knew in his heart that he was young and it was not easy to achieve such a level of cultivation at such an age.
"Okay, as long as you're okay, I'm going to take a nap. It's time to settle accounts with Wu Sheng tomorrow."
Yu Wenkai was in a good mood, Long Chen smiled and said: "Old general, have a good rest."
Yu Wenkai went back to his room to rest, and Yang Hu and Tan Wenyue also went back to their room to rest.
Long Chen looked at the sky, then turned around and went back to his room to rest.
The process of blood transfusion is very taxing on the body and must be rested immediately.
...
North of Yanmen Pass.
The three horses galloped south quickly, and Wei Ying led Zhu Zhen and Li Man to inquire about the situation ahead.
With the war horses, Wu Sheng led an army of 90,000 people to march day and night, and soon arrived near Yanmen Pass.
After the vanguard general Xia Feng was killed, Wu Sheng became vigilant and sent three guards to investigate first.
"stop!"
Wei Ying shouted, and Zhu Zhen and Li Man stopped.
The guard eagle squinted his eyes and looked south, revealing a black dot in the distance.
"Beacon Tower."
Li Man stood on the horse and looked at the black spot in the south and said.
Based on his own memories, Wei Ying calculated the distance in his mind and said, "This place is still a hundred miles away from Yanmen Pass. Why is there a beacon tower?"
The ghost was very aware of the matter of setting up a beacon tower when Long Chen traveled hundreds of miles away, but he didn't say anything about it.
Because Gui Fei suffered a big loss here, when talking about Beacon Tower, his dark history will be mentioned.
"Boss, continue?"
Zhu Zhen waited for Wei Ying's instructions.
There is a beacon tower ahead, and it is easy to find if you continue forward. If you don't go forward, this place is a hundred miles away from Yanmen Pass, and it is impossible to know what is going on at Yanmen Pass.
Wei Ying looked at the sky, and night was coming.
"We'll go in on foot when night falls."
The target on horseback is too big and the hoofbeats are too loud, making it easy to be discovered.
The three of them are all very good in Qinggong. Sneaking on foot is more secluded and a round trip of two hundred miles is not a problem.
"But if we go on foot, we won't have enough time. The Lord is waiting for news from us."
Zhu Zhen looked up at the sky and counted the time in his mind, feeling that it was too late.
Wu Sheng's 90,000-strong army slowed down its march behind, waiting for news from the three guards.
If you are hiking, one night must have passed by the time you get back to where you came from.
By then, Martial Saint's army may have arrived here.
Wei Ying was in a bit of a dilemma. As a reconnaissance rider, if the message was not sent back in time, it would be a mission failure.
On the battlefield, late news is not news.
"Leave now!"
The guard eagle decided not to wait until night fell and immediately sneaked south.
The three men immediately looked for a hiding place, tied up their horses, and then headed south lightly.
There was a beacon tower directly in front, and the three of them took a detour from the side.
On the beacon tower, soldiers on guard looked north with binoculars.
Everyone has received orders that the ghost army is about to arrive, and they will be on full alert to the north. Once the enemy is discovered, they will immediately light up the smoke.
However, they also received an order at the same time. If only a few came in, they would be the enemy's waiting cavalry, and they would use a flying eagle to notify Yanmen Pass.
The sentries on the beacon tower looked carefully, but found no trace of the three guard eagles, because the three guard eagles moved too fast and bypassed the beacon tower in a blink of an eye.
The distance between each beacon tower is very far. As long as you pass through the middle, it is difficult for the soldiers on the beacon tower to detect them.
The three Guardian Eagles quickly passed through the gap. Their movements were as light as swallows flying across the water. A lump of earth appeared under their feet. The three people's attention was on the beacon towers on both sides. There was the whistling of the wind in their ears. No one cared about this. Little bumpkin.
The three of them passed by in a flash. Inside the small earthen bun, a soldier was chewing dried meat. He squatted down, swallowed what was in his mouth, and whispered: "Three of us are here, very fast!"
Long Chen had seen Wei Ying's methods, and he knew that if Wu Sheng sent Wei Ying to spy on Yanmen Pass, the surrounding beacon towers would not be able to stop him, and Wei Ying could choose to pass through the gap.
Therefore, Long Chen arranged such a small earthbag in the middle of the beacon tower.
Dig a few meters deep and cover it with a layer of turf, leaving only a small opening facing the north with two people inside.
The soil in the grassland does not have high water content, so squatting in it is not a problem.
"Do you see clearly?"
another soldier asked excitedly.
The soldier said: "Look clearly, there are three of them, absolutely right!"
Another soldier put his ear to the ground and listened carefully to what was going on outside.
After making sure that no one was outside, the soldier slowly opened the lid, raised a yellow flag in his hand, and waved it towards the beacon tower in the distance.
When the soldiers on the beacon tower saw the waving flag, they immediately shouted: "The flag is moving!"
The soldier below immediately brought a yellow flag and handed it to the soldier on guard. The soldier took it and shook it a few times at the earth bag. The soldier on the earth bag immediately closed the lid.
"Someone slipped by?"
asked a veteran at the bottom.
The soldier on guard was a little discouraged and said, "They saw it, damn, I'm blind!"
The soldiers on guard felt annoyed that they had not detected the ghost clan.
The veteran said: "It's good if you see it, hurry up and release the eagle!"
Soon, a snow eagle flapped its wings and flew towards Yanmen Pass.
