Ouyang Miaoling gave an order: "Let's go!" Everyone responded, sorted out their equipment, and walked towards the forest with firm steps.

They passed through dense forests, crossed rugged mountain roads, and finally arrived at their destination - a mountain towering into the clouds.

After a short but difficult trek, everyone successfully reached the top of the mountain. They looked around and finally found a large flat area that was perfect for a temporary camp.

There is plenty of room to set up tents and store supplies, while also providing good visibility and a defensive position.

Ouyang Miaoling turned to look at Guimei, her eyes revealing a hint of determination: "Guimei... let's set up camp here for the time being.

This mountain forest has a complex terrain and is easy to hide in, allowing us to better deal with the enemy. What do you think about waiting to find the Regent's army before making the next plan? "

The ghost nodded slightly, like an ear of wheat swaying in the wind, to show his agreement: "Yes, Master, what you said is absolutely right. This is also my subsequent plan. Setting up camp here can ensure safety and facilitate observation of the surrounding situation."

He then added: "Furthermore, we can use the resources of the mountains and forests, such as wood and water, to ensure that the survival needs of the team are met." Ouyang Miaoling nodded with satisfaction, like a flower blooming in spring: "Well, very good. That's settled. Guimei, you quickly arrange the layout of the camp and the division of labor. Make sure everyone understands their own tasks and is prepared to deal with all kinds of situations."

There was a sense of majesty and trust in his tone that made people feel awe.

The ghost took the order and left like an arrow, and began to organize the soldiers to get busy.

Some were responsible for cutting down trees and building simple wooden houses, their movements as skillful as a butcher cutting up an ox; some were responsible for digging trenches and setting traps, as meticulous as a cunning rabbit with three burrows; and others were responsible for collecting food and water, as busy as industrious bees.

The entire camp was filled with a tense yet orderly atmosphere. Everyone was concentrating on their respective work and preparing for the upcoming battle.

Ouyang Miaoling led her medical team. In addition to taking good care of the injured soldiers every day, she also continued to teach and answer their questions in her spare time.

They spent day after day in such a busy manner, until one day, the soldiers sent by Guimei to find the Regent returned, and the situation changed slightly.

"Commander... We have been exploring the area nearby. According to reliable information, the Regent's army appeared fifty miles away from us. We hurried over to check it out. However, when we arrived, we only saw the remnants of the war. It is said that the rebels have captured two cities, and the court has no more troops to send. Now, the Regent has less than 40,000 troops to fight against the 100,000 rebels."

The soldier reported the information he had found to the ghost without reservation. Ouyang Miaoling lowered her eyes and thought, like a statue in deep thought, and the ghost did not dare to disturb her thinking.

After a long time, Ouyang Miaoling slowly raised her head, as if she had made some kind of decision.

She opened her red lips and said, "Ghost... Now we are trapped in the enemy camp, like a sheep in the mouth of a tiger. We may be wiped out by the enemy at any time. But this is also our greatest advantage. Perhaps we can cooperate with the Regent from inside and outside to wipe out the enemy. However, the most urgent task is to let Nangong Mingxuan know our plan. Can you find a trustworthy person to pass through the rebels' defenses, find the Regent, and convey our plan. I will write the specific plan on paper. Only the Regent and I can understand the content, and there is no need to worry about it falling into the hands of the enemy and being intercepted by them."

Gui Mei pondered for a moment and felt that staying behind to be the regent's internal support was undoubtedly the most appropriate choice. Even if they used all their forces, it would be difficult for them to break out of the encirclement.

The best way now, as the princess said, is to ensure the safety of these soldiers and lend a helping hand to the regent. This is indeed the best policy.

After thinking this through, the ghost said, "Master, I agree with your idea, but the person who delivers the letter must be loyal and make sure that the letter is safely delivered to the prince."

Ouyang Miaoling agreed deeply and nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice, and then began to draw the blueprint. The ghost, on the other hand, was like a sculpture lost in deep thought, thinking hard about the candidate for the messenger.

In a moment, Ouyang Miaoling had finished drawing the letter. The key now was to find the candidate.

They pondered for a long time and finally decided that the person around the princess was the most suitable.

Finally, they decided to let Xiaoyue and Zhang Yun pretend to be brother and sister, and seek refuge with relatives like fallen leaves, supporting each other along the way to see if they could break through the enemy's defenses.

After making the decision, Ouyang Miaoling called Zhang Yun and Xiaoyue. "Xiaoyue... Zhang Yun, I greet the princess... What instructions does the princess have?" The two bowed and clasped their fists, performing the formal ceremony.

"You two, get up. I have a crucial task for you two to carry out. What do you think?" Ouyang Miaoling was the first to give his orders.

Xiaoyue and Zhang Yun looked at each other, and like siblings who understood each other's minds, they said in unison, "At the princess' command!"

"Okay... I have a letter here. I hope you two can find the prince's garrison and hand the letter to the prince like passing a torch. If you can complete the task excellently, you will become heroes with unprecedented achievements and the light of glory for our entire Northern Qi..." Ouyang Miaoling encouraged them.

The two looked at each other, not knowing how to express their trust.

So Xiaoyue said: "Master... Thank you for your trust. I promise to complete the mission. But I am worried about your safety. Xiaoyue has never left your side for half a step in the past six months. Now Xiaoyue has to leave you and complete the mission alone. Xiaoyue really can't bear to leave you..."

After hearing Xiaoyue's words, Ouyang Miaoling was very grateful. She walked forward, patted Xiaoyue on the shoulder and said, "Xiaoyue, I don't want to leave you either, but now the country is in crisis and rebels are everywhere. We have to do what we can for the people of Northern Qi. You are fighting for the country now. You are our hero."

Her words made Zhang Yun's blood boil. He quickly said, "Don't worry, Princess. Even if it costs me my life, I will definitely deliver the letter safely and protect Miss Xiaoyue."

"Okay..." After hearing Zhang Yun's assurance, Ouyang Miaoling was even more confident in the two of them, so she handed the letter she had drawn to Xiaoyue.

She finally said, "Xiaoyue, you are a girl and you are more careful. I will keep the letter with you. If your life is in danger, you would rather hand over the letter to ensure your own safety."

The two were so moved by Ouyang Miaoling's words that their eyes instantly turned red.
