Chapter 697: One Step Ahead



The sun had not yet set, and Zhao Min had marched about fifty miles towards Longcheng.

Then they set up camp in a relatively open area.

She scattered hundreds of spies all around.

No matter what, security must be ensured.

Having both led troops in battles for many years, there was no reason why Zhao Min could not think of what Zhang Wuji could think of. Moreover, Zhao Min's experience in leading troops in battles was several years earlier than Zhang Wuji's.

On the other side, the sun was setting, so Zhang Wuji ordered his soldiers to rest on the spot.

Then he called Zhou Zhiruo and Zhao Linger to his side.

Seeing this, Zhou Zhiruo didn't say anything.

She asked directly: "My dear, do you have any instructions?"

Zhang Wuji nodded and said, "Yes, Zhao Min has an army of over one hundred thousand soldiers marching forward, and there must be quite a few scouts following the army to explore the way ahead."

"Although there are not many of us, these two thousand people will be easily discovered if we gallop on horseback."

"Zhao Min's speed is not fast, but she should be not far from here."

"The three of us will go ahead and investigate the specific location of Zhao Min's army in advance. The most important thing is to find out the location of Zhao Min's central military tent."

"In addition, the three of us are all quite capable. If we meet Zhao Min's scouts along the way, there is no need to kill them on the spot. Otherwise, if we alarm her, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"Did you understand everything?"

Zhou Zhiruo said: "I'm not a fool, of course I understand."

But then Zhou Zhiruo said, "Zhang Wuji, you stay here. You still need to take care of the two thousand soldiers behind you."

"You don't have to do this."

Zhang Wuji shook his head and said, "How can this be possible? It is not right to let your wife go out to work hard while you stay behind to rest."

Zhao Linger also said: "Young Master, please don't argue about this matter."

"My sister Zhiruo and I are not as useless as you think."

"If the two of us want to run away, no one can stop us."

Zhou Zhiruo also said: "That's right, you only realize now that you feel sorry for us. Why didn't you say that you felt sorry for us last night?"

"You couldn't kill me and my sister, so who else in this world can harm us?"

Zhang Wuji was overwhelmed for a moment, but at this moment, Yang Buhui and Wei Xiangjun also came over.

Yang Buhui smiled and said, "Brother Wuji, you are a bit biased."

"She is also your woman. When you encounter problems, you must let me and Sister Xiangjun know."

Zhou Zhiruo glanced at the two of them and said, "You two should stay here and rest. We don't need you two to do this strenuous work."

Yang Buhui said: "Sister Zhou, I won't show off my abilities in matters beyond my capabilities, but you have to give us a chance in matters within our capabilities."

"It's true that sister Xiangjun and I are not as good at martial arts as you and sister Queen, but we are not women who are just vases, right?"

Yang Buhui grabbed Zhou Zhiruo's hand and said, "Sister Zhou, please give me a chance."

"Tell me what you are going to do. If it is beyond my ability, I will never get involved."

Zhou Zhiruo had no choice but to turn around and look at Zhang Wuji. Just when Zhang Wuji was about to object, Zhao Linger said, "Okay, then let's do this. You two follow me, and the young master can stay here to hold the fort."

Afterwards, Zhao Linger said to Yang Buhui and Wei Xiangjun, "You two girls, be smart."

"Zhao Min's army should be dozens of miles ahead."

"Her army of over one hundred thousand will surely stretch for several miles. We need to find out the location of her central camp."

"By the way, take care of the scouts sent out by Zhao Min, do you understand?"

Yang Buhui said with a little excitement: "I understand. Sister Xiangjun and I can finally show our abilities."

Zhao Linger did not tell Yang Buhui that the main purpose of her coming out this time was to get her son back. If she had said that, Yang Buhui would probably be extremely upset.

A moment later, Wei Xiangjun and Yang Buhui selected four good horses from the army behind them.

Both of them carried two large bows on their backs.

Yang Buhui said excitedly: "My two sisters, let's go. Although it is late winter and the ice and snow have melted, the nights are still very long."

"Based on the distance, it probably won't take us too long to go there and back."

Seeing how eager the four of them were to try, Zhang Wuji felt a little regretful.

If Zhang Wuji had known that Zhou Zhiruo and Zhao Linger were against him following them, he might as well have selected a few agile men from the army.

The four of them mounted their horses. Zhou Zhiruo turned around and smiled at Zhang Wuji, "Don't worry, my dear. We four promise that we will come back safe and sound."

Then, the four of them rode away.

On horseback, Zhao Linger reiterated: "You three, wake up for your sister."

"This matter is of great importance, don't embarrass the young master."

Zhou Zhiruo said: "Don't count me in. When have I ever embarrassed Zhang Wuji?"

Then, Zhou Zhiruo looked at Yang Buhui and Wei Xiangjun again, and said, "You two are about to wake up to this, do you hear me?"

Yang Buhui smiled and said, "Don't worry, Sister Zhou. Actually, I'm not as useless as you think."

Zhou Zhiruo thought to herself, "You are indeed not as useless as I thought."

"Otherwise, you wouldn't have climbed onto Zhang Wuji's bed when I was away."

I don’t know how long it took until the sun set. Under the last ray of sunlight, a figure in the distance appeared before their eyes.

Zhou Zhiruo was the first to discover the figure, and then she hurriedly said to Zhao Linger: "Sister, do you think that person could be Zhao Min's scout?"

Zhao Linger looked in the direction of Zhou Zhiruo's finger and said, "Don't worry about whether he is real or not. The war is imminent. At this time, anyone who can still ride a horse on this road is definitely not a good person, even if he is not Zhao Min's scout."

"Kill him first and talk later."

Kill him first and talk later, this was the order given by Zhao Linger.

The war is imminent, and it concerns the country and the whole world. The lives of a few people are not worth mentioning.

Even if he was wronged, it is not worth mentioning.

Zhao Linger and the others did not stop at all, they continued to fly towards the figure.

And at this moment, the figure naturally discovered the clue.

Followed by a ray of sunlight setting down.

The man also quickly turned his horse around and rode away.
