Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chu Yueli looked at the mountain not far away. There was indeed a large forest behind the mountain. Just now, Huo Qing had indeed led several female soldiers into the forest, saying that they were going to collect herbs.

Chu Yueli looked at the new recruit and said, "Go and inform General Nangong. I'll go and take a look first."

"Yes!" The new recruit looked at her, seemingly waiting for her to leave.

Chu Yueli said again, "Why aren't you going yet?"

"Yes!" The new recruit seemed to only then realize what was happening and quickly ran towards the direction where the generals were encamped.

Chu Yueli then realized that they had already left the main camp so far in order to catch up with Lu Yunfei.

Looking ahead, Lu Yunfei was no longer in sight, but Chu Yueli knew he was nearby: "I'm going to the back mountain to find my third aunt. Yunfei, come and keep me company."

There was no response under the cover of night.

Chu Yueli didn't say anything more. She lightly touched the ground with her feet and flew towards the back mountain.

Not far behind her, the figure in pure white, just as Chu Yueli had expected, quickly chased after her.

However, when Lu Yunfei arrived at the back mountain, he did not find any trace of Chu Yueli.

He clearly saw her coming, but she disappeared in the blink of an eye. Although this wicked woman's lightness skill was very impressive, it shouldn't be that impressive to him.

Where did the person go?

Lu Yunfei continued forward.

Under the cover of night, the back mountain, though only half a mountain away from where the main army was encamped, was as quiet as a ghost town, without a single sound.

Lu Yunfei continued walking forward, his brows slowly furrowing.

Wasn't it said that Lady Qing was assassinated and seriously injured in the back mountain? If she was seriously injured, then there should still be fighting in the back mountain.

If the soldier could come back to report, the entire army wouldn't have been wiped out in the blink of an eye, would it?

Lu Yunfei suddenly had a thought.

What he could doubt, that wicked woman's mind was far more meticulous than his; how could she not have any doubts at all?

His palm tightened, unsure whether to be angry or helpless.

It seems he's been used again!

However, with a formidable enemy at hand, even knowing that they are being used, they can only be used to the end.

He suddenly leaped up and quickly darted towards the depths of the back mountain.

The speed was absolutely fast, but the noise was also absolutely huge. Wherever it went, it stirred up a gust of wind, startling the insects and birds in the mountain stream.

Suddenly, a flash of silver light appeared in the nearby woods.

With a whoosh, the silver light shot towards Lu Yunfei.

Lu Yunfei gathered his true energy in his palm, intending to strike the hidden weapon down with his palm force, when he heard a whoosh, a sharp sound piercing the sky.

Then, with a clang, someone knocked down the hidden weapon that was aimed at Lu Yunfei.

Under the cover of night, another faint sound of a sharp weapon cutting through the night wind was heard. The man deep in the forest screamed and then fell to the ground.

"Yunfei, come here!" Chu Yueli leaped up from the shadows and rushed toward the direction from which the hidden weapon had been launched at top speed.

Although Lu Yunfei was still very angry, in this emergency, her safety was the top priority.

Without a second thought, he mustered his strength and caught up with them, arriving at the bandits' hiding place before Chu Yueli could leave.

A dozen or so bandits were lurking in the wild forest.

In the blink of an eye, Chu Yueli and Lu Yunfei had cleared it out almost completely.

However, two people still managed to escape towards the military camp.

Just as Lu Yunfei was about to give chase, Chu Yueli said, "No need to chase!"

He paused, turned back to look at her: "You have another trick up your sleeve?"

If we don't pursue them and let those rebels into the military camp, who knows how many brothers will be injured!
