Yu Wenshu, who was in Yunlai County, had his eyelids twitching today.
He had been feeling uneasy these days because of the announcement. Could another disaster have happened?
No, we can’t leave Yunlai County!
He made up his mind, isn't it just to find a woman? Anyway, I don't have a woman now, so I'm just waiting to be assigned one. I got those fields in Yunlai County and lived peacefully for a while, waiting for the storm to pass before thinking about it.
As for farming... I really don't know how to do that. It's impossible for me to farm in this lifetime. I'll think of a way when the time comes.
I have to go into the mountains. Today a team of hunters are going into Yunshan to hunt. I'll follow them first to familiarize myself with the terrain. I'll work alone later. With my first-class skills, hunting musk deer won't be an easy task.
Yu Wenshu changed into a blue cotton jacket, put on a wind and snow hat, carried his sword on his back, left the inn and went to the Sihai Restaurant - a place where hunters and merchants liked to gather.
…
…
April 15th, the tenth year of the Xuanli calendar.
Yu Le, who had been hiding in Lengyan Valley for nearly twenty days, was getting restless.
None of the people sent out to look for the Fourth Prince Yu Wenshu brought back any good news. Where did this royal brother go?
He walked anxiously in the commander's tent. Waiting like this was not a solution. The food and fodder he brought was not much. Today, the cook came to report that the remaining food was almost gone and could only last for two days at most... The soldiers would definitely not accept this without food. In this desolate place, there was no way to steal some food. It was impossible for them to make a living by hunting.
The accompanying military advisor, Kong Lingyu, frowned slightly and spoke, "Your Highness, the army will leave Lengyan Valley and head to the next populated town, the nearest being Huangyangji. This will take at least six days. We only have two days' worth of rations left, which is not enough to last us until we reach Huangyangji, so..."
Yu Le was getting irritated and stopped at this moment, "If you have to fart, just fart!"
Kong Lingyu's heart sank. "My Lord, we have to send the army out hunting. We have to at least gather enough food for the army to reach Huangyangji."
What the hell!
Yu Le bit his lip and waved his hand impatiently, "Go ahead, go ahead! I brought my troops all the way here to kill people! I came to kill Fu Xiaoguan! But now I have to go hunting... Has Fu Xiaoguan really left?"
Kong Lingyu bowed and replied, "Hunting is a last resort now, and I'm afraid that Fu Xiaoguan has already walked out of the Jinniu Ancient Road and entered Shanzhou."
Yu Liao took a deep breath and waved his hand. Kong Lingyu turned around and retreated, but was knocked back by a soldier with a "bang". He sat down on the ground, dizzy.
"Report...His Royal Highness!"
The messenger was startled, "Ah, Master Military Advisor, I came too hastily and didn't see it..." He hurried over and helped Kong Lingyu up from the ground.
Yu Le looked at the messenger and asked, "What are you reporting?"
"Ah, to report to His Royal Highness, the Fourth Prince has been found in Yunlai County."
"What?" Yu Le was shocked, but happy in his heart, "Yunlai County?" He walked back to the table, bent down and looked at the map... Damn, it's a bit far away.
"What is he doing in Yunlai County?"
"Well... the spies reported that His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince was hunting in Yunlai County."
“…”
Go hunting for your sister!
Yu Le was a little angry. I was waiting for you here, but you ran to Yunlai County to hunt. Why are you always having trouble with hunting today?
My troops are also going to start hunting. Is there nothing to eat?
Thinking back, he was relieved. The Fourth Prince was now wanted by the arrest warrant. He certainly didn't dare to show up, and he certainly didn't have any money in his pocket. Yunlai County was remote, so he had no choice but to live here by hunting.
"Why didn't you bring the Fourth Prince back?"
"Your Highness, the Fourth Prince...does not recognize him."
"What do you mean by 'disown'?"
"He said we had the wrong guy."
“…”
Like a frightened bird, Yu Le opened his mouth slightly. The Fourth Prince is now like a lost dog. The spies he sent out don't have any token. He naturally doesn't dare to deny it. So if he doesn't come back, what am I doing here?
Split the troops into small groups and go to Yunlai County to find him?
It is about three hundred miles to Yunlai County, mainly through the 150-mile plank road around Langtian, which will take several days. It will take at least ten days to reach Yunlai County.
Should I go or not?
Just as Yu Le was hesitating, another captain ran in.
"Your Highness, a bloody battle broke out in Huangyangji, with over 3,000 people killed."
Yu Le frowned, "Civilians?"
"No, the deceased is said to have been in Huangyangji for over a month, and the killers were the 3,000 elite troops who arrived in Huangyangji on April 12th. According to spies, they were most likely the Excalibur Army!"
Yu Le was shocked. Divine Sword Army?
When Kong Lingyu heard this, his heart suddenly sank.
"What is the current movement of this army?"
"Reporting to the military advisor, this army has entered Tianque Mountain from Huanlangtian."
"You haven't crossed the plank road?"
"That...really not. They all entered Tianque Mountain."
Kong Lingyu came to the map with a frown. He took a closer look. What was the Divine Sword Army trying to do?
There is a Luanyun Gorge between Tianque Mountain and Wen Mountain, which is difficult for even birds to cross. It is definitely impossible for them to cross the Luanyun Gorge and reach Wen Mountain directly.
"What are they doing?" Kong Lingyu was confused.
Yu Le was even more confused. He thought for a moment and suddenly laughed, "They must have run out of food and gone hunting! Yes, they must have gone hunting in Tianque Mountain."
Kong Lingyu always felt that it was not that simple, but he just couldn't figure it out.
"Since they killed three thousand people in Huangyangji, how come they are short of food?"
"Then tell me what they are going to do?"
Kong Lingyu was speechless. He stroked his beard, frowned, and stared at the map. After a long silence, he said, "Your Highness, we must send scouts to Luanyunjian to take a look."
Yu Le was stunned. "Do you really think the Divine Sword Army has wings? Besides, I have 100,000 Black Guards, deployed tightly. If 3,000 Divine Sword Army soldiers enter this mountain, we can wait for them to tire themselves out. Even if we had 100,000 pigs, we'd be able to kill 3,000 people, right? What are you afraid of? You're so scared, do you really think they're invulnerable to heavenly weapons? Go tell the soldiers to go hunting!"
Kong Lingyu was confronted by Yu Le and walked out of the tent silently, feeling that what Yu Le said made sense.
An army of one hundred thousand, including the most elite Black Guards. If the three thousand Divine Sword Army were thrown into this army of one hundred thousand, they would be drowned by just a spit from each person.
But why do I always feel a little panicked?
…
Yu Wenshu was also a little panicked at this moment.
He walked with the hunter team on Yunshan Mountain, thinking about what the man said today. Maybe it was true, but it didn't matter. What mattered was that someone had found him.
So will anyone find him again?
Just as he was thinking, a sharp sword light suddenly appeared!
