Chapter 278 Night Exploration

Huo Xifei glanced at the lieutenants and ordered the two soldiers who had brought the scout in, "Go ahead and help him go back and rest!"

After that, he instructed the scout, "The pill I gave you just now has a certain effect on detoxification, but its specific effectiveness is still unclear. You just took the medicine, so don't move around. Rest and wait for the results."

"Yes! Prince!"

After the scouts left, Huo Xifei glanced at the lieutenants and asked calmly, "Are you guys scared?"

"Prince!" Several deputy generals were startled when they heard Huo Xifei ask this question, and quickly responded, "I'm not afraid, I'm just a little worried!"

"Are you so worried that you don't even bother to hide it?" Huo Xifei said coldly, "If those soldiers outside saw you like this, would we still be able to carry on with this encirclement and suppression?"

"Prince, we were wrong!" Several deputy generals hurriedly admitted their mistakes.

"I'll think about this. You guys go back first!" Huo Xifei said calmly, "Remember, no matter how anxious or worried you are, you are not allowed to show it in front of the soldiers below. Otherwise, I will definitely charge you with disturbing the morale of the army. Do you understand?"

"Yes, we will follow the prince's instructions!" Several deputy generals broke out in cold sweat and responded with a fist salute.

Lieutenant General Liu glanced at Huo Xifei and said, "Sir, now that Youye Tower knows of our presence, I'm afraid they've stepped up their defenses."

"Yes!" Huo Xifei nodded, then said, "Also, pass the order down. Strengthen defenses at night to prevent sneak attacks from the people in Youye Tower."

"yes!"

"Okay, let's go back!"

"Yes, I'll take my leave!"

"Brother Xi!" When only Yuan Ziyou and Huo Xifei were left in the tent, Yuan Ziyou comforted them, "Don't worry. I have an idea. Why don't we go to the valley ourselves tonight and explore the Youye Tower."

"You'er, I shouldn't have let you take this risk!" Huo Xifei said to Yuan Ziyu apologetically.

"Brother Xi, you've forgotten my abilities!" Yuan Ziyou laughed, and whispered into Huo Xifei's ear, "Besides, I'm immune to all poisons. The poisonous miasma and insects in the valley are useless to me."

"If not for this, I absolutely cannot let you take this risk!" Huo Xifei knew Yuan Ziyu's abilities: "It's just..."

"Oh, there's no such thing as just or just. You can't get rid of me anyway. You said I can't leave your side!" Yuan Ziyu raised his eyebrows and smiled.

Huo Xifei tapped Yuan Ziyu's forehead helplessly: "You are misinterpreting my meaning!"

"Hehe, the meaning is the same anyway!" Yuan Ziyu smiled: "Anyway, don't even think about getting rid of me. I'll stick with you wherever you go! I won't leave for a single moment!"

The reason why Yuan Ziyu had to come along this time was because she had a strong intuition: if she didn't come along, Huo Xifei would definitely follow in the footsteps of the young general in his previous life!

"Okay, I'll listen to you!" Huo Xifei smiled and then warned, "But you absolutely must not act recklessly. Think twice before doing anything. Do you understand?"

"must!"

At night, Huo Xifei ordered Pingshan to guard the tent, and he and Yuan Ziyu quietly left the camp.

Pingshan wanted to follow, but was forced to stay by Huo Xifei. Pingshan was anxious, but unable to follow, so he had to stay in the tent, hoping that Huo Xifei and the others would return as soon as possible.

After leaving the camp, Yuan Ziyu found a place to hide, and then pulled Huo Xi into the Qiongjiang Pavilion.

Now Yuan Ziyu is becoming more and more adept at controlling the Qiongjiang Pavilion. With the control of the Qiongjiang Pavilion, Yuan Ziyu can reach the destination in about half an hour, a distance of thirty miles.

"You'er, what's the situation outside?" Huo Xifei asked hurriedly because he couldn't see the situation outside the Qiongjiang Pavilion.

"This mountain stream is not narrow. We will definitely not stand a chance of winning if we attack from this side of the mountain stream. Our only hope should be that valley. Let me find that valley!" Yuan Ziyu replied.

"good!"

Soon, Yuan Ziyu found the valley.

It was night time, the valley was pitch black, and the rugged rocks looked particularly hideous in the dark night.

"Sure enough, the poisonous miasma in this valley is very strong!" Yuan Ziyu found a corner and left the Qiongjiang Pavilion. He felt the thick and indissoluble fog in the valley, then immediately returned to the Qiongjiang Pavilion and said to Huo Xifei.

Yuan Ziyu left Qiongjiang Pavilion very suddenly just now. Huo Xifei was shocked in his heart, fearing that Yuan Ziyu would encounter some danger when he went out.

Seeing Yuan Ziyou coming back, he hurried forward and held Yuan Ziyou's hand tightly: "Why did you go out without telling me? What if you encounter danger? Don't do this again next time!"

"Okay!" Yuan Ziyou smiled and said, "Brother Xi, I just sensed the poisonous miasma in the valley, and it didn't have any effect on me. I think those pills I made should have some effect!"

"That's good!" Huo Xifei said, "However, there are so many soldiers coming this time, I'm afraid your pills won't be enough!"

What Huo Xifei said was true. In order to encircle and suppress Youye Tower, Emperor Wen of Qi sent a total of 5,000 soldiers. According to rumors, the Youye Tower, including the tower owner, assassins and other miscellaneous people, had no more than a hundred people. These 5,000 people against a hundred or so people were really a huge investment.

But Yuan Ziyu actually didn't have 5,000 pills in his hand.

Yuan Ziyou thought about it and said with a smile: "I really don't have so many pills, but there is a workaround!"

"What method?"

"Brother Xi, I need your help with this!" Yuan Ziyu said, "My pills are made with medicinal herbs and spiritual spring water. Although I don't have that many pills now, you can send someone to buy some medicinal herbs. Then boil water and distribute it to the soldiers below. I can secretly add some spiritual spring water to the water used to boil the herbs. That way, your soldiers will be able to temporarily resist the poisonous miasma in this valley after drinking it!"

Huo Xifei nodded upon hearing this: "That's a good idea."

After saying that, Huo Xifei said to Yuan Ziyu, "You'er, let's go to Youye Tower to find someone first."

"Going to Youye Tower to look for someone?" Yuan Ziyou was a little puzzled. "Brother Xi, besides Zheng Xun, who else do you know in Youye Tower?"

"I don't know him!" Huo Xifei said, "Zheng Xun also asked me to find this person, saying that he should be able to help us secretly. Zheng Xun also came to me for help, hoping to spare his life."

"Is he also the killer from Youye Tower?"

"Exactly. Zheng Xun said that man's name was Blood Blade."

"What, Blood Blade?" Yuan Ziyou asked in surprise, "Brother Xi, the person you are looking for is Blood Blade?"

"That's right!" Huo Xifei looked at Yuan Ziyu in surprise: "Why, You'er, do you know this Blood Blade?"
