By this time, he was certain that his heir's wife was very good at playing tricks.
Even though the soldiers of the Xuanzi Battalion were well-trained, they were thrown into disarray at this moment.
The soldiers retreated uncontrollably.
He Tong said in a gloomy voice, "There are no ghosts in this world, rush up and kill them!"
He had a very high prestige in the army, and even if the soldiers were afraid, some of them still mustered up their courage and charged forward.
Lin Xiuyan smiled slightly when she saw this scene. To be honest, she was really afraid that He Tongyin would be scared away like this, and all her hard work in arranging things would be for nothing.
Those soldiers who charged forward eventually lost some of their previous indomitable courage and unconsciously started looking around.
They were afraid that something extraordinary might suddenly appear from the side.
When people are under extreme stress, all their senses are amplified.
This amplification of the senses can make people startled by even the slightest sound.
The chirping of insects in the forest, the startled birds, and even the passing wind can all send shivers down one's spine.
And because of the incident where someone was slashed from behind, they were afraid that something might suddenly appear from behind.
Nothing unusual happened this time. They were not far from the cave where Ye Junfei was staying, and everything went very smoothly.
They walked forward cautiously, not paying much attention to the tattered nets hanging on the trees.
Just as they reached the edge of the net, they suddenly heard a noise behind them.
They immediately turned around and saw a person wearing their clothes lying down and crashing into them.
The man's face was extremely distorted and bizarre, and looked terrifying.
They instinctively took a few steps back and bumped directly into the net, then instinctively reached back to touch it.
Those seemingly undamaged nets suddenly came to life, wrapping themselves around their necks.
They reached out to pull, but the tattered net tightened even more, as if a hand were choking them.
I found this very eerie when I experienced it before.
In this terrifying context, the experience these soldiers are going to have is definitely ten times more intense than the one without weapons.
The soldier, entangled in the net, struggled desperately and tumbled down the hillside.
None of the soldiers behind dared to charge forward.
The scene before them was even more bizarre than before, so they turned and ran.
Wu Ge watched the soldiers who were nearly suffocated by the entanglement and patted his chest.
Fortunately, the Crown Princess married the Crown Prince; otherwise, they would probably have been in a terrible situation if they had encountered such an unpredictable opponent.
He Tongyin saw this scene from a short distance away, and his face turned very ugly.
As the leader of the Xuanzi Camp, he has seen all sorts of strange and unusual things over the years.
But all those other things combined don't compare to this one bizarre incident.
Even though he knew perfectly well what tricks Ye Junfei and his group had played, he still couldn't help but feel a chill.
The lieutenant, trembling, said, "General, why don't we wait until dawn before we make our move?"
A chill ran through He Tongyin's eyes as he said coldly, "Someone, tell the Second Young Master what happened here."
His guard responded and immediately went to find Ye Jingxian.
Soon, Ye Jingxian heard the news from this side.
He originally intended to use Ye Qingwan to find Ye Junfei from the mountains, but now that He Tongyin has found Ye Junfei, he thinks he might as well kill Ye Qingwan first.
He said coldly, "There are no ghosts in this world. General He doesn't need to concern himself with those matters. They're just the same people; killing them is easy."
He Tongyin's personal guard, who had come to deliver the message, said, "Second Young Master, General He has already dispatched several detachments to launch a strong attack."
"Including the small squads of soldiers they killed before, we now have nearly five hundred soldiers dead at their hands."
"If we continue this aggressive attack, the Xuan Battalion will suffer heavy casualties."
Ye Jingxian asked incredulously, "What did you say? How many people died in the Xuanzi Battalion?"
The guards replied, "More than five hundred men."
Ye Jingxian stared wide-eyed and said, "How many of them are there? How could they possibly kill so many soldiers from the Xuanzi Battalion?"
The guard lowered his head and said, "Their methods of killing are extremely wicked and impossible to guard against."
Ye Jingxian's face immediately turned green, and he cursed He Tongyin in his heart as a piece of trash.
So many people couldn't kill more than ten of Ye Junfei's men, and they even lost more than five hundred soldiers. This is simply intolerable!
He remembered something else and asked coldly, "Since we've lost so many people, were Ye Junfei and his group hunted down extremely badly?"
The guard hesitated for a moment, unsure how to answer.
Seeing his reaction, Ye Jingxian assumed he had guessed correctly and asked, "I heard before that Ye Junfei was shot when he entered the forest."
"After all this commotion, has his wound reopened and is he surely going to die?"
The guard felt he couldn't let him keep guessing, so he immediately said, "It shouldn't be."
"Judging from the pile of corpses there, Ye Junfei and his group must have been hiding in that cave the whole time without moving."
"Although we didn't see Ye Junli, judging from Lin Xiuyan's calm and composed demeanor, Ye Junfei should be alright."
Night View Leisure: "..."
Night View Leisure: "!!!!!!!!!"
Ye Junfei is actually alright? How could he be alright?
Night View was so angry her face was contorted!
He went to such great lengths to chase them through the mountains and forests, yet they remained huddled in one place without moving.
Don't they know they're being hunted?
Furthermore, the Xuanzi Battalion is the elite force of Liefeng Prefecture, and these soldiers are all handpicked.
He originally thought that even if Ye Junfei and his group were very powerful, the mobilization of the Xuan-character battalion would at most result in the death or injury of a hundred or so Xuan-character battalion soldiers.
Only about a hundred died; he can find a way to make up the numbers later.
But with so many losses this time, how will he explain it to the Prince of Pingnan when he returns?
He gritted his teeth: "Have General He send a message to Ye Junfei, saying that Ye Qingwan is in our hands."
"If he wants Ye Qingwan to live, he should obediently surrender."
The guard glanced at him and relayed the message to He Tongyin.
He Tongyin breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the news; Ye Jingxian had finally done something humane.
He then shouted loudly towards the cave, "The princess is in our hands. If you want to save her, please come out of the cave immediately."
The people in the cave seemed not to have heard these words at all, showing no reaction whatsoever.
Lin Xiuyan said coldly, "They are really shameless. When they can't beat someone, they resort to such despicable and shameless means."
She smiled slightly as she said this: "But it's alright. They're despicable, but we can be even more despicable than them. It's just a matter of who has the more clever methods."
"Besides, this is also good news, at least it means that Qingwan is still alive."
