Ouyang Yunyao and Chu Chenjing were originally planning to kill the three men, but when they heard them say they missed home, they felt pity for them and knocked them out.

After dealing with the three patrolling soldiers, the watchtower and the secret sentry below were also dealt with. Their main task now was to deal with the sleeping soldiers in the rooms.

Ouyang Yunyao and Chu Chenjing flashed into the space first and took off their invisible cloaks in the space.

Immediately, Ouyang Yunyao quickly took Chu Chenjing and the remaining dozen people of the third team in the space, as well as the ten people of the mobile team, plus Xia Yan and Xia Fei, out of the space together.

Chu Chenjing briefly explained the situation here to the soldiers of the Artifact Camp and instructed two groups of people to quickly deal with Xue Congying's soldiers in the room.

The night was getting darker and a strong wind started to blow in the mountains. Soon the wind grew stronger and stronger, whistling across the mountains, causing the leaves and grass to sway, and from a distance it sounded like the cry of ghosts.

But this did not affect their actions, the wind gave them better protection. After hearing the order, the two teams of soldiers from the Artifact Battalion quickly divided into several groups, fully armed and hiding in the night wind.

The howling sound of the wind did not seem to affect the soldiers in the mountain stronghold who were sleeping soundly and dreaming sweet dreams. This was because there had never been any danger in their mountain stronghold before, so the soldiers here slept peacefully.

Previously, the sentries on the watchtowers and the patrolling soldiers were not vigilant at all. They simply did not believe that anyone could capture their stronghold, and they certainly did not believe that anyone could sneak into the stronghold without making any noise.

If someone came to attack them, they would have been wiped out long ago with their fortifications. Moreover, there were many masters in the mountain stronghold. Their General Xue's martial arts were unfathomable, and they were all very afraid of him.

When Xue Congying first started building the mountain stronghold, there were indeed bandits from other mountains who wanted to come and subdue them, but in the end they were wiped out by them...

What Chu Chenjing and the others didn't know was that they were able to easily enter the mountain village tonight, firstly because of the plane, and also because they were extremely lucky.

Tonight, those people with deep inner strength and a very powerful weirdo just left the village. As soon as those people left, Ouyang Yunyao and the others rushed in and walked around easily and effortlessly.

Chu Chenjing saw his men proceeding to act according to the plan, and the two of them were not idle either.

They wasted no time and walked up to the upper floor along the stone path in the village. Xia Yan and Xia Fei followed closely behind them.

The two men walked along the upward stone road. When they were about to reach the entrance of the second level of the mountain road, they stood in the shadow of the trees halfway up the path, watching the soldiers of the Artifact Camp moving quietly below.

At this time, they received news from the foot of the mountain that the gates of the two mountain strongholds were all in the hands of the soldiers of the Artifact Battalion. Chu Chenjing saw that the actions of the soldiers below were not unexpected, so he was very relieved. He hugged Ouyang Yunyao's slender waist, took a breath and jumped up, flying upwards.

He jumped over the second-floor door and landed on an exquisitely constructed rockery with Ouyang Yunyao. The two of them stood still and looked around.

From afar, I saw a few faint lights in the courtyard, which was originally dark.

Chu Chenjing looked at the lights and said to Ouyang Yunyao: "Yaoyao, look, there is light over there, it seems that the problem has been solved."

"Oh yeah, are we going to go over there?"

Xia Fei and Xia Yan, who were following behind them, had cleverly found Zhang Meng, the captain of the second team of the Artifact Battalion.

When Zhang Meng saw Chu Chenjing and Ouyang Yunyao, he stepped forward and saluted and reported, "Your Majesty, Princess, the second team has completed the mission and all the people here have been dealt with."

"Well, who are the people here?"

"Your Highness, according to their account, Xue Congying's son and his married daughter live on this floor. One courtyard is the home of one of his sons or daughters. There are also a few of Xue Congying's lieutenants and their wives and children."

"Oh! Is everyone here?"

"Your Highness, among these people, the only men are Xue Congying's third son Xue Jianqi, his son-in-law Hua Tianhao, and his deputy Fan Cuo. The others went down the mountain at night. Your Highness, will these people go to Shiha City after going down the mountain?"

"It's possible. We need to resolve this as soon as possible. Where are those people now?"

"Everyone was knocked unconscious and tied up in that yard." He pointed to the yard with dim lights on.

“How many people are up here?”

"Your Highness, there are a total of fifteen courtyards up here, nine of which are occupied by people, and the other courtyards are used to store weapons and food. Right now, we have tied up more than nine hundred men and women up here."

Ouyang Yunyao's eyes lit up when she heard about weapons and food, and suddenly she heard about so many people, she couldn't help but look confused, "Why are there so many people?"

"Princess, you don't know! There are not many owners in these courtyards, only wives and concubines, plus a few children, but there are many maids, old women, and guards in the courtyard. Some guards are guarding the granary and military depot."

Ouyang Yunyao nodded and couldn't help but sigh: "This village is really Xue Congying's fortress."

"Princess, you didn't see that the things in that room are so luxurious." Zhang Meng said with shining eyes.

"Oh, luxurious?" Ouyang Yunyao heard this, blinked her little fox-like eyes, looked at Chu Chenjing and said: "A Jing, why don't we take it."

Chu Chenjing had long known about Ouyang Yunyao's little thoughts, and he also knew that she did this entirely for the sake of Western Chu. If she had not accepted grain from the homes of those corrupt ministers, the flood in Western Chu some time ago would not have been so easy to overcome.

So he smiled, rubbed her head, and gently said to his princess who liked to rob houses: "Okay! Let's go and take a look." As he said that, Chu Chenjing quickly hugged Ouyang Yunyao's waist, tapped the ground with his foot, and flew into the air with Ouyang Yunyao, flying towards the nearest yard to them.

Chu Chenjing has gotten used to it now. Whenever he is on the move, he will unconsciously hold Ouyang Yunyao's waist and fly with her.

Zhang Meng stood there watching this scene, already stunned. He looked at the prince's doting smile towards the princess, listened to the prince's words, looked at the prince in disbelief, and then flew away with the princess in his arms.

One of the people standing there couldn't help but mutter, "Is this... this... person the prince?"

Xia Yan looked at his silly and cute look and chuckled, "Why can't it be the prince? The prince likes the princess very much, and the prince has always been like this to the princess!"

Zhang Meng listened to Xia Yan's words, responded blankly with "Oh", and flew over.
