Chapter 2138 [Accident]
Xia Fuyi was not angry. She now understood that Chang Sun Chi was worried about her. She waited for a while before calming down and said,
"When I was still in Tianji Sect, I received many missions to exterminate entire families. Most of those families were extremely vicious and had many followers, making them extremely difficult to deal with. Some of them were highly skilled in martial arts, some were skilled in the use of poison, and some were skilled in forming battle formations. Countless people died at their hands, but I never failed in my missions."
She looked at Chang Sun Chi quietly.
"Compared to these people, soldiers who can only swing swords are nothing. Your Xuanyi Guards are powerful, but I am more powerful than them all combined. With me here, the chances of victory will more than double."
Changsun Chi's expression also calmed down.
He looked at Xia Fuyi calmly, and after listening to her words, he only uttered two words lightly,
"no."
Xia Fuyi finally frowned.
Chang Sun Chi said,
"If you really have nothing to do, go with Qingze Liantang to explore the terrain for our next ambush. It's in the canyon to the west."
Xia Fuyi wanted to say something, but was stopped by Chang Sun Chi coldly and firmly.
"Besides that, don't even think about going anywhere without permission."
The emperor raised his eyes, his amber eyes staring at Xia Fuyi, cold to death.
"Or do you still want to fight me?"
Xia Fuyi: ...
She compromised unwillingly.
Finally agreed to the task of looking at the terrain.

Two days later, it rained heavily again.
This gave the soldiers who suffered from heatstroke some breathing room.
At this time, Xia Fuyi and Lian Tang Qingze had secretly left the military camp. They headed west and walked for three full days before they finally saw the canyon.
"The battlefield will move towards this side in a few days. We must move as fast as possible."
Lian Tang opened his mouth immediately, his mouth full of the taste of yellow sand and very dry.
Qingze rode his horse and looked into the distance, and after a long while he said,
"Have you brothers completed your mission?"
As the highest leader under the Emperor of the Xuanyi Guard, it was self-evident who he was referring to when he said "brothers".
Lian Tang's expression became depressed.
"Whether they're finished or not, we'll take them home. There are still three days until the agreed date. We'll go pick them up together then."
Qingze nodded silently, and after a moment he said,
"Come to think of it, Wensu's marching route seems to be not far from this canyon. If we stay here for a few more days, we might run into them."
"You can't run into them. They're only close on the map. The actual distance is still quite a distance."
Lian Tang rolled his eyes and looked at the hooded figure in front of him.
"Miss Xia, let's park our horses outside the canyon before going in."
A faint "hmm" came from the front.
Then the three of them stopped flattering.
Xia Fuyi turned over and dismounted, the corners of her white clothes rustling in the wind and sand.
However, as soon as she got off the ground, she suddenly stopped and just stared at the ground.
Lian Tang Qingze, who dismounted later, followed her gaze and his expression gradually changed.
It had rained heavily yesterday, and the sand in front of the canyon, which was shielded from the wind by rocks, had dried up, but there were still overlapping and interlaced footprints.
After staying on the battlefield for a long time, such footprints can be seen at a glance as being left by heavy military boots, and judging from the number of footprints, the number of their owners should be incalculable.
Qingze's face was gloomy. He pulled Xia Fuyi and was about to retreat, but he couldn't move her.
The girl in the hood stood on the sand, slowly raised her head and looked at the huge canyon made of barren rocks.
Inside the wide entrance is an empty space surrounded by rocky mountains, and further inside is a narrow opening as narrow as a thread through the sky.
It stood in the wind and sand, like a giant beast, silently and ferociously opening its mouth towards them.
