Chapter 372: Land of Death

Her white fingertips pointed at the Changlu Mountain, which was hundreds of miles away from the capital.

This was a deserted mountain range.

The terrain was steep, with many valleys and deep forests. Because of the cliffs, it was difficult to cross directly.

This morning, she and Ling Fengxun learned from the spies that the old emperor had raised private soldiers, and she wanted to do something to help Ling Fengxun.

In her previous life, she was assassinated by An Qing and taken as a hostage to the highest mountain nearby. In her memory, the top of the mountain looked like a deer head from a distance.

She checked the map for half a day and asked several people who knew the terrain nearby, and then she knew that the mountain was called Changlu Mountain.

Ling Fengxun raised the corners of his lips and looked at An Yunxi as if he was looking at a big treasure.

Although he didn't know where those soldiers were hiding, he was not worried about the fall of the capital. But if he could find the location of those people in advance, lead the troops to ambush and catch them off guard, it would be much easier, and it would also avoid many casualties of soldiers.

Ling Fengxun hugged An Yunxi's waist and kissed her on the forehead.

"Xier, you are really my lucky star." His

thin lips were pressed against her brow, and the tingling touch immediately made An Yunxi's cheeks red.

She bit her thin lips lightly, her eyes were moist, and seemed to have a fascinating meaning, which made Ling Fengxun's heartbeat speed up.

"I just happened to know, and I'm not 100% sure that those soldiers are hiding nearby. There's no time to waste, so you'd better act as soon as possible."

He said in a deep voice: "I'll send someone to investigate."

An Yunxi nodded: "Well, be careful when investigating, and don't make a fuss."

On the surface, the entire Beiling Kingdom is calm.

But in fact, Ling Fengxun has never been idle.

And these hidden private soldiers raised by Beiling Emperor Ling Fengche are his biggest backup.

Now, this cancer must be cleared.

So many soldiers will leave traces as long as they exist.

It was not discovered before, just because the mountains near Changlu Mountain are too wide, and no one would be idle and go deep into it.

Ling Fengxun already knew the general direction, and the people who went to investigate came back soon.

It only took one day to find the traces of tens of thousands of troops.

The subordinate immediately went to the palace to report: "Your Highness, we have found it. It is in a valley deep in Changlu Mountain. There is a barracks hidden there, with at least 50,000 troops."

"50,000?"

This number is indeed not small.

More than twice the number of the imperial guards in the capital.

Even Ling Changyue could not have thought that his father's troops, which had been hidden for so many years, would be found so quickly once the news came out.

If it were not for the clues provided by An Yunxi, it would take at least several days to find these tens of thousands of troops hidden in the deep mountains and old forests. If it were a few days later, those people would have come out of the mountains and taken the initiative to fight.

"Your Highness, although we didn't dare to get close and didn't investigate carefully, judging from the size of the military camp, the number of people is not much different."

The spies are all professionals, and the data they report must be true. They dare not deceive Your Highness.

Ling Fengxun was thoughtful, and a cold murderous intent flashed across his eyes.

"Bring the drawings over."

"Yes!"

The subordinate hurriedly handed the drawings drawn after the investigation to Your Highness.

Ling Fengxun narrowed his eyes and just scanned the marks on the map. In an instant, he had a rough idea of ​​how to attack and how to take over the entire valley with the least loss.

He glanced at An Yunxi who had come out with her to listen to the subordinates' report and said, "Xi'er, I will personally lead the troops to wipe out these private soldiers."

An Yunxi heard this, and there was some worry in her eyes. She clenched her fingers and told herself deep in her heart that she should trust Ling Fengxun.

"The other side has 50,000 people, and there are only 20,000 imperial guards in the capital. Do you want to wait a little longer and order my uncle to bring the army back?"

A cold light flashed in An Yunxi's eyes.

She suddenly thought of the group of people in Mobei.

How could it be such a coincidence?

Mobei had just made a move, attracting the 100,000 troops prepared in the city near the imperial city, and Ling Changyue mobilized the hidden private soldiers, intending to besiege the imperial city!

Ling Fengxun knew that An Yunxi was worried about him, so he raised his hand and touched her cheek as if to comfort her.

"Don't trust Ling Changyue's words completely. It is very likely that those hidden troops will attack us in less than half a month, so we must strike first. Even if we send a letter to Marquis Anguo now, it is too late."

Marquis Anguo has been gone for a long time.

It is estimated that he should have reached Zhenbei Pass by now.

An Yunxi frowned, and thoughts kept flying in her mind.

She had a very bad impression of Changlu Mountain. After all, she and Ling Fengxun died in that valley in her previous life.

If the old emperor had not raised 50,000 private soldiers to ambush in Changlu Mountain, the thousands of battle-hardened personal soldiers that Ling Fengxun brought back from the border would have been able to wipe out the entire imperial city.

Because of her, Ling Fengxun was in danger and died in her arms. Whenever An Yunxi recalled that scene, she felt a tightness in her chest.

Seeing that Ling Fengxun had already stood up and was about to leave the palace and lead the troops out of the city.

An Yunxi suddenly ran over and hugged Ling Fengxun's waist from behind.

"Prince!"

Seeing her frowning expression, Ling Fengxun turned around, raised his hand, and gently smoothed the wrinkles between her eyebrows.

"Xi'er, what's wrong?"

Ling Fengyan asked patiently, staring at An Yunxi's face without blinking.

An Yunxi raised her eyes, her pupils trembling slightly, and she said seriously: "Take me with you."

Ling Fengyan was startled, and then scratched her nose: "Don't you believe in my strength? If you can't deal with these tens of thousands of private soldiers, then I don't have to lead troops to fight in the future."

This is his confidence that comes from being invincible in battles for a long time.

It is not arrogance or pride, but a strong aura that emanates from his bones, and his past military exploits have further proved this.

An Yunxi did not speak, her mind and heart were a little messy, and she even had a little greed for the warmth in Ling Fengxun's arms.

Ling Fengxun patted her on the back: "Stay at home and wait for me to return. This is not a border, it's not that dangerous."

An Yunxi narrowed her eyes: "Does the prince really not allow me to go?"

Ling Fengxun, who rarely refused An Yunxi's request, was particularly firm this time: "No, this time, listen to your husband."

An Yunxi slowed down, a dark look flashed across her eyes, and she had made up her mind.

She raised her eyes, stared at Ling Fengxun's face, and then said decisively: "I believe that the prince can win this battle, but I am also worried that the prince will be injured. I have an idea, and I hope the prince will listen to it before making a decision."
