They say your illegitimate child is worthless, yet you rebel with seven wives?

Upon hearing this, Su Luo's expression changed slightly.

However, he did not panic, but asked, "How far is the other side from Wolf Fang Mountain?"

The scout replied, "Reporting to the young master, it's less than a hundred li away, but about a hundred li from the entrance of Xiaoyun Village!"

"At their pace, they should arrive in four hours!"

"But they're resting now... They're planning a night raid!"

The scout was quick-witted and gave his guess to Su Luo.

They stopped to rest when they were less than a hundred miles away, and they were all elite soldiers who traveled at a rapid pace. This means that... the enemy is planning to wait for an opportunity, and then launch a full-scale attack after they finish resting!

In other words, they're up to no good!

Su Luo's mind raced, and he certainly understood this principle.

"Don't panic!"

He patted the scout on the shoulder. Actually, there weren't many scouts in the Yanhuang Army, since it wasn't considered a regular army in the past.

He specially appointed scouts and carefully selected twenty of them.

These people may not be physically strong, but they are quick-witted and incredibly clever.

Su Luo said, "Mobilize everyone and use every means to find out who is leading this army and where it came from..."

"Also, have someone go to Xiaoyun Village and tell the ladies that I'm not going back today."

"And inform Madam Simingyu that there is an enemy attack, and tell her to prepare to leave Xiaoyun Village with her sisters."

The scout immediately obeyed and quickly left.

After standing still for a moment, Su Luo looked at Zhang Yu and said, "Zhang Yu, you lead two hundred men back to Xiaoyun Village first to observe the situation."

"If anything seems amiss, take the ladies away first."

Zhang Yu accepted the order, glanced at Su Luo before leaving, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Young Master, should we notify Shuiyun Town?"

"Although we don't yet know exactly where these thousand soldiers came from, we can be fairly certain that they're heading straight for Xiaoyun Village..."

"Could it be that the matter in Shuiyun Town has been exposed?! And now others know that you, young master, are a member of the Yanhuang Army..."

Su Luo's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and she shook her head: "No, not necessarily."

"If the incident really happened in Shuiyun Town, there wouldn't be only a thousand people! A thousand people, that number isn't a lot, but it's not a small amount either!"

"It was more like a deliberate test..."

Su Luo calmly said, "I strongly suspect it's someone from the Xue family!"

Before he could finish speaking, Han Yan came into Su Luo and Zhang Yu's view, his face showing shock:

"Young master, you really are a prophet..."

"When you ordered the scouts to investigate the background of those thousand men, I had already used all available means and found out that their commander was named Xue Qianren!"

"It's someone from the Xue family! And this time, it's a direct descendant of the Xue family!"

"It's quite possible... that it's Madam Xue, the eldest wife of the Marquis's mansion, who's given up and decided to make a move against you, young master!"

"But right now, it's still impossible to determine which side's troops he's leading!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu couldn't help but look at Su Luo with admiration.

Surprisingly, Su Luo made the right judgment in a very short time.

Su Luo looked at Zhang Yu and said, "Zhang Yu, you've worked hard this time. Don't slack off, you must ensure the safety of my wives!"

Zhang Yu clasped his hands in a fist salute and said, "Don't worry, young master!"

"As long as I live, I will never let anything happen to the ladies..."

After saying that, he turned and left.

With Su Luo stationed at Wolf Fang Mountain, he had no worries whatsoever. Even if the enemy only sent a thousand men, or even if they sent ten thousand…

Since Su Luo knew about this in advance, there would definitely be no problem.

Han Yan said, "Young Master, what should we do now?!"

"The Xue family is leading troops...why would they head directly towards Xiaoyun Village? Linshui County and Feiyun City are in complete chaos right now!"

"Xue Qianren brought a thousand men here. If it's just to deal with Xiaoyun Village, it'll probably cause quite a stir..."

Su Luo calmly said, "What the Xue family does in Linshui County depends entirely on which lady of the Marquis's mansion it is."

"Given her usual willfulness, it's perfectly normal for the Xue family to send over a thousand people to deal with me..."

"However, the Xue family has many talented people, unlike the Su family. I am worried that Xue Qianren, who is leading the troops this time, has other purposes."

"What if this is a test of us?!"

If this was just a test, then these thousand men are likely part of a larger force, and even if they were successfully defeated, other problems would arise...

Moreover, it's very likely that it will expose the young master's identity... Thinking of this, Han Yan couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat and swallow hard.

"Then, young master, what should we do?" he asked again.

Su Luo glanced at him but didn't say much. Han Yan was talented and capable, but he hadn't experienced enough challenges.

Therefore, in these situations, he would rely more on Su Luo's decisiveness.

Su Luo said calmly, "Han Yan, this isn't a question for me to worry about, it's a question for you to worry about..."

"Uncle Tiger is in charge of Yunhai Town, and the number of Yanhuang soldiers under his command is not even as many as you."

"Daqiang now controls Feixia Town, and he built it from scratch..."

"Now that you're stationed at Langya Mountain, your resources are far superior to theirs. You should think about how to help me solve this problem."

Han Yan blushed upon hearing this and said, "Young master, I'm sorry to disappoint you, I actually..."

He couldn't help but feel a little guilty because of the dependence he had developed on Su Luo. This was normal, when you have someone by your side whose every decision is right...

It's hard not to become dependent on it!

But Su Luo can help at Langya Mountain and even remotely control various places!

But you can't expect to be able to remotely control other places once your troops become powerful and your territory expands, can you?

Han Yan is a talented person, so we must cultivate his adaptability!

Su Luo said, "This time, the enemy has a thousand men. We have already obtained intelligence on this, and we have enough manpower on Wolf Fang Mountain..."

You are fully responsible for this matter!

Upon hearing this, Han Yan immediately became serious, but instead of refusing, he readily agreed.

"Yes!"

"Young master, I promise you won't be disappointed..."

Su Luo continued, "During this process, I have two requests of you!"

"First, the Yanhuang Army must not suffer more than one hundred casualties in defeating the enemy!"

"Secondly, find out exactly what Xue Qianren is thinking!"

This is no easy task… Han Yan took a deep breath, his eyes gleaming: “Young Master, I will absolutely not let you down!”

Su Luo waved her hand at him, "Stop talking nonsense and show me your results!"

"Let me see if Xue Qianren of the Xue family is more powerful, or if you are more assertive!"
