There was no news for five days in a row, and the Yinzi army had already entered the hinterland of the central mountainous area.Going forward, you will soon reach the frightening Valley of Broken Soul.

The soldiers began to feel a little anxious. Countless souls died in the battle in Broken Soul Valley. They heard that they could feel the gusts of cold wind coming from the valley from a long distance, and there were also many bizarre legends.For a while, various horror stories spread in the army, and some even counted famous generals who were lost here in the past.

"During the reign of Emperor Taizong, Shi Chongda, the famous founding general of the southwestern border, rebelled and led his troops all the way to the central mountainous area. At that time, a wandering Taoist priest reminded him that he could not pass through Broken Soul Valley, but Shi Chongda didn't believe in evil, and drove away the Taoist priest. All 15 elite soldiers were buried in the Valley of Broken Souls!"

"I heard that none of them escaped! The Taoist said that this Valley of Broken Soul is low-lying and naturally gathers yin, trapping so many souls of the past. "

When the deputy general Hu Han was inspecting, he found that someone was spreading rumors to shake the morale of the army, and he was very angry. "Heard and nonsense! Shi Chongda died because of rebellion and betrayal by his cronies. Most of his men have already surrendered before even entering the Valley of Broken Souls!"

"Our army is rigorous in running the army, how can it compare with Shi Chongda's mob?"

"As a soldier of the Yinzi Army, he actually spread ghosts and heresies, and advocated the mentality of deserters! It ruins the morale of our army and humiliates our army!" Hu Han reprimanded, "Anyone who spreads rumors will be dealt with by the military law!"

He sent people to severely punish those who spread the panic, and a lot of peace was restored in the army.

Lang Yinshi seldom spoke these days, he was waiting every day, waiting for the latest news to help her make an accurate judgment.

This afternoon, Lu Yuan finally came back.

"Report! General, guess what I found?" Lu Yuan happily rushed into the camp from the outside. Muddy boots.

Lu Yuan took off his helmet, his ruddy face was covered with stubble, and he looked rather sloppy. He said cheerfully, "The general is really good at predicting things, and you are really right! We are here A hunter village was found at the foot of a remote mountain, and an old man in it recognized a remote plank road leading out of the central mountain area. We have invited the old man back!"

"Early yesterday morning, I asked the old man's son to take our assault guards to explore the road first, and I guess he will be back tomorrow night. If the plank road goes smoothly, everything is under our control!"

"Oh?" Lang Yinshi's eyes lit up, he was in a good mood, and he smiled for the first time in several days. "You handled this matter very flexibly, which greatly saved our army's time, and there will be a big reward later!"

"Hey, thank you General!" Lu Yuan shook his head happily.

"Invite the old man in!"

"Yes!"

When Lu Yuan went out to summon him, Lang Yinshi got up and paced back and forth in the tent, very happy because he had hope in his heart. "Great, the central mountains are no longer enough to trap us to death!"

late night next day

The mist in the mountains came in bursts, bringing the cold wave among the grass and trees. Lang Yinshi's general tent was simple in shape.Inside the tent, candles were brightly lit, and everyone was sitting around a heater.

Lan Xi took off the freshly brewed tea from the stove, poured a cup of hot tea, and handed it to the assault soldier who had just returned.This young man was only 16 years old, covered in the moisture of the night, and was trembling as he explained his experiences along the way.

"You mean to say that the plank road has collapsed for a long time?"

"Yes." The assault soldier replied.

Listening to the situation of Tanlu, Lang Yinshi felt a burst of disappointment that couldn't be concealed.

"It's about to collapse, and it's been abandoned for more than ten years..." The old man sitting on the side was about seventy years old, he made a gesture and said in a dialect he could barely understand, "When I was young, everyone walked that way. Dao, it has been decades... the wood is rotten, and when it rains, it will be washed away..."

Lu Yuan patted his head and said angrily, "No wonder the old man kept telling us not to be happy at that time, saying that whether the remote plank road can pass, I'm not sure..."

"How did this happen? It was hard to find a way." Lan Xi sat down beside the couch after pouring tea, worry appeared on her pretty face.

"Report—general! There is news from Broken Soul Valley!" Hu Han reported outside the door.

"Come in!" Lang Yinshi replied.

Hu Han was wearing armor and entered the small tent with the cold wind outside, "General, the situation is not good. The vanguard of the Zhongzhou soldiers has occupied the high ground on both sides of the Valley of the Broken Soul this afternoon, and the large troops will be stationed in the Valley of the Broken Soul at the latest tomorrow night! "

The news came in a hurry, and for a while dispelled the last bit of luck in everyone's hearts.Lang Yinshi put his hand on his forehead when he heard the words, and sighed deeply.

"It seems that Broken Soul Valley is going to be a disaster." Master Luo said who had been silent all this time.

"En. Going to Broken Soul Valley again, it's going to be like a sheep going into a tiger's mouth." Lang Yinshi thought for a moment, then pondered.

"Old man, is it possible to repair the plank road?" She turned to the old man and asked seriously. "We have a large number of people, and simple timber construction is not a problem."

"Not sure." The old man replied, "You'll have to look to find out. It's okay if there's not much collapse. That road goes out quickly, and after turning over the big green mountain behind, it's the southern boundary."

"That's good! If that's the case, let's go this way." Lang Yinshi seemed to be mentally prepared, "Since we were able to get out before, we must be able to get out now! The worst thing is to rebuild a plank road!"

"What do you all think?" Lang Yinshi said, looking around, taking into account the opinions of his uncle, Lu Yuan, Hu Han and Lan Xi.

Everyone looked at each other after hearing the words, and they all made a judgment in their hearts. They nodded and said, "This is the best way at present. We all obey the general's arrangement!"

Five days later, Broken Soul Valley Zhongzhou Prefecture

The steep mountain walls on both sides of Broken Soul Valley seem to have been chiseled by nature with skilled craftsmen.The vegetation on the mountain is scattered and sparse, but the view is excellent.

Li Sitong took his soldiers and horses to station on the hills on both sides of Broken Soul Valley, and took out the binoculars to observe the mountain pass.

"Based on the time they entered the mountain, it's time to come out. Why haven't there been any movement after waiting for several days? Could it be that they are playing hide-and-seek in the mountain and can't come out?" Li Sitong wondered, saying that King Ye paid attention to speed when marching. It's been a long time without entering the valley, what is the name of the sale?Don't play tricks again, can you?

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw a group of soldiers from Zhongzhou coming up the mountain with two men with dispirited looks.

"Who are these people?" Li Sitong asked, the two of them also looked like ordinary soldiers, but there was a lot of unrefined aura in their eyebrows and eyes, and they didn't look like decent people.

"My lord!" The leader of the team is Wang Rui, the commander of the Zhongzhou Army. He cupped his hands and said, "We caught two sneaky people at Taniguchi. They claimed to be soldiers who had defected from the Yinzi Army and said they had important news. Tell the adults!"

"There are traitors in the Yinzi Army?" Li Sitong had a strange expression upon hearing this, and he didn't know whether to laugh or be angry. "Ye Wang's Yinzi Army is a well-known Iron Army. Can traitors fall into my hands? At this juncture Come on, don't play tricks."

"No, my lord." The two soldiers described as haggard, with evasive eyes. "We were given the name of 'spreading rumours' by Deputy General Hu because of gossip, and we were beaten a hundred times for nothing. The two brothers really couldn't swallow this tone, so they came secretly to report the news to the adults. "Xiaobing said, opened the corner of his clothes, and he saw a purple spot full of scars.

"Oh?" Li Sitong was noncommittal, and smiled numbly. "Then tell me, if there is any news worth telling me, I can also see if I can reward you as appropriate."

"Thank you sir!" Hearing that there was a reward, the little soldier got excited and began to flatter him with a flamboyant expression, "King Ye is not going to the Valley of Broken Soul! He sent someone to find another way to leave the central mountain area, and now he is going to Liuzhou. Mount Huangshan is on the way!"

Li Sitong's squinted eyes suddenly opened wide, "What's going on? Tell me in detail! If the situation is true, there must be a big reward!"

Seeing that the news was really valuable, the two soldiers couldn't help being even happier.

"King Ye found an old man somewhere, and the old man knew another way out of the mountain, and that road was on Liuhuang Mountain, so King Ye led his troops to Liuhuang Mountain five days ago, and it's almost here now !"

"But I heard that a plank road on that road collapsed, and I don't know if we can pass safely. The two of us thought together, since we are living and dying with King Ye, we might as well go to the Zhongzhou Army. At least we can eat a few more meals Full of food! So when the troops moved, we hid and continued to the Valley of Broken Souls to join the Lord!"

Hearing this, Li Sitong turned around and looked at Wang Rui, and couldn't help smiling knowingly.

It's really hard to find a place to go through iron shoes, and it doesn't take much effort to get it!The situation in the mountains is complicated, they sent people to search for more than ten days and still can't figure it out, but these two traitors happened to expose Lang Yinshi's whereabouts clearly, saving a lot of trouble!

If this matter is reported to King Xuan, it will make King Xuan very happy!

"Okay! I'll send people to investigate now. If King Ye is successfully captured, you will all be heroes in the future!"

"Thank you, my lord! The little one is willing to do his best for you!" The two soldiers knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

Li Sitong: "Come here, send troops to Liuhuang Mountain!"
