Zhao Cheng glanced at Zhao Wu in surprise and asked, "Is there anything different?"

...

The next day.

From dawn to dusk, five waves of scouts from the Southern Zhou army returned, but none of them brought back news of Xiong Bin and Yang Le.

Yang Qingzhi couldn't sit still any longer, so he patted the cat's butt, and the tabby cat suddenly jumped away.

Yang Qingzhi stood up and said, "The two generals split up into two groups, but neither of them has returned. Could it be that they have both met with misfortune?"

Bao Sheng, the oldest of the Seven Generals of Yangmen, stroked his beard and said, "It's not surprising that Xiong Bin is impatient and easily fooled, but since even Yang Le hasn't returned, it's probably hopeless."

“Young Commander,” Bao Sheng said to Yang Qingzhi, “this Lingshan Mountain is a bit strange. We should not act rashly. Let’s find out the situation first.”

Yang Qingzhi pondered for a moment and said, "Niu Chengwen, Niu Chengwu."

The Niu brothers stepped forward and shouted in unison, "Your subordinates are here!!"

"You two brothers should go to Lingshan tomorrow morning to investigate. Don't bring anyone with you, and come back quickly."

"yes!!"

Niu Chengwu clenched his fist and said, "This humble general will definitely bring Zhao Cheng here!"

Yang Qingzhi frowned and said in a deep voice, "The reason I sent you two is because you brothers are both scouts and your martial arts skills are quite good. Even if you are discovered, you can escape unscathed."

"General Bao is right. We should not act rashly now. You can go and find out the situation, but you are not allowed to take action without authorization!"

"Did you understand?"

"clear!!"

Niu Chengwu nodded and said, "We don't need to wait until morning, we can go now!"
