Resisting the Wind and Splendor

After inspecting the military camp that night, Chu Yueli and Lu Yunfei left immediately.

This is the southern part of Sukulu. The terrain in the south is not as complex as in the north. In addition, there is an official road between the two military camps of the Northern Cavalry and the Chu Family Army, so even traveling at night will not be a big problem.

Chu Yueli and Lu Yunfei quickly returned to the Chu family army's camp.

I had just returned when I saw Tuoba Liuli coming out of Chu Xiaohe's tent.

She looked somewhat haggard.

Chu Yueli knew that she hadn't properly comforted her since she arrived.

There is some guilt involved.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, my third aunt and I will definitely find the person who cast the curse and bring her back."

She squeezed Tuoba Liuli's hand and found that it was indeed cold.

Tuoba Liuli forced a smile at her and said, "I should be the one apologizing. I haven't been of any help since I arrived."

“It’s already difficult enough that you can take care of your older brother. I know you’re feeling too heavy-hearted right now and don’t have the energy to do anything else.”

Chu Yueli sighed before saying, "The army will set off tomorrow, and the responsibility of taking care of my elder brother will fall on your shoulders. There will be many inconveniences during the march, so I'll have to ask you for help again, sister-in-law."

Tuoba Liuli glanced back. The tent flap was gently lifted halfway in the wind, and everything seemed as quiet as ever.

She nodded: "I will take good care of him, Ali, you all must be careful."

"Ah."

"Miss!" Chu Yi walked quickly from not far away: "Miss, you're back. Madam Miao has been waiting for you."

Chu Yueli hurriedly said, "I'll be right there."

Huo Qing has returned with news.

Early the next morning, Chu Yueli, along with Lu Yunfei and Ye Zi who had come from the Northern Cavalry camp, headed to the northern part of Sukulu.

Huo Qing found traces of the fight between Lu Beimo and Lu Beimo in a small village.

“It’s the Fourth Prince’s Cangyue Blade.” Lu Yunfei recognized it at a glance.

The Cangyue Blade weighs over 100 jin (approximately 50 kg), and most people simply cannot lift it.

If one did not possess profound internal energy to protect their body, this knife would be a burden to use.

But someone as powerful as Lu Beimo, with his inner strength combined with the chilling aura of the Cangyue Blade, could sever dozens of heads with a single strike.

"The blade is no longer sharp enough. It seems that your fourth brother almost exhausted his inner strength before he left," Chu Yueli said calmly.

Lu Yunfei, however, could not remain as calm as she was.

The words "exhausted internal energy" were like a knife slashing into his heart.

They were no match for the Fourth Prince; they must have used a strategy of attrition, trying to exhaust his true energy round after round.

"Don't worry, your fourth brother should be fine for now. At least, the Cangyue Blade is still with him."

This place was mentioned in a letter from Huo Qing.

"Ye Zi," Chu Yueli turned around and looked at Ye Zi, who was scouting the surroundings, "You've been here before, why didn't you notice this place?"

“This place used to be a gathering place for the Khitan army. Although I have been here before, I could not enter, so I did not discover this place.”

It turned out that when she came to investigate, the prince was already trapped here, but she couldn't find him at all.

Chu Yueli nodded. It must be because the Khitan army had left that her third aunt had the opportunity to find this place.

Looking at the huge blade mark left by the Cangyue Blade, Chu Yueli subconsciously clutched the area around her heart.

Are they trapping Lu Beimo here, intending to capture him alive?
