That night, Ye Ningyu slept for three hours.

At dawn the next day, someone came to ask her when the army would set off. She said there was no rush, and the army continued to rest. It was not until the afternoon that Ye Ningyu counted the five hundred soldiers and horses, and escorted Fang Yanhe and

Twenty soldiers of the Ye family left the city in a low-key manner and headed towards Yinzhou.

To be precise, she was heading in the direction of Gray Wolf Mountain.

Huilang Mountain is the only place Xu Ning must pass on her way back to Yinzhou, but she will naturally not tell her true purpose in front of the army.

To these 500 troops, they are a glorious army that has won the battle. After the war is over, they will inevitably be rewarded for their merits. Now they are eager to return home, and they are marching non-stop.

Half a day later, Ye Ningyu and his party arrived at the Gray Wolf Mountain area. It was already dark.

"General, if we continue on our way, we can return to Yinzhou in the middle of the night." The commander of the five hundred cavalry suggested to Ye Ningyu.

Ye Ningyu looked at the sky around him and looked at the commander with a smile. "Don't be so anxious. Everyone has worked hard these days. We will find a place nearby to rest for the night and set off again tomorrow morning."

The commander tilted his head and thought for a while, feeling that General Ye seemed to be very considerate of them these past two days. As expected of a glorious army, the general must also be very satisfied with their results and could not bear to be tired any longer.

The cavalry commander smiled and agreed, then went down and ordered everyone to rest on the spot.

Because the number of people was small, everyone did not have to set up camp or cook pots, so they found a relatively open piece of flat land on the mountainside. They each put out their torches, took out the dry food they had brought with them, and started eating with water.

The cavalry commander was engrossed in eating when someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder. He looked back and immediately laughed. "Commander Xiao!"

Xiao Huwei looked at him with a kind face, squatted down and sat in a row with the cavalry commander, "Why is Commander Liu eating here alone?" After saying that, Xiao Huwei looked around and smiled at him with a sly look.

He took out a small wine bottle from his pocket. "Here, take a sip."

The moment Commander Liu saw the jug, his expression suddenly changed. He hurriedly pressed down the jug in Guard Xiao's arms. He looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when no one noticed him. "Commander Xiao, we are on the march.

But you can’t drink alcohol, it’s against military regulations!”

Xiao Huwei smacked his lips and said, "We have finished fighting. This is the return journey. After returning, we will not be rewarded based on merit. Besides, I am General Ye's personal bodyguard. I have a few drinks. What's the problem? Who dares to say

I?"

Commander Liu thought for a moment and realized this. He lowered his voice and said, "It doesn't matter if Commander Xiao violates military regulations. After all, you are not a member of our army. But I can't. If you violate the rules and disciplines, you will be punished by military law."

disposed of.”

As Commander Liu spoke, his eyes did not leave the small jug. There is no one who is not hungry for wine when marching and fighting.

Guard Xiao smacked his lips again, looked at Commander Liu and said with dissatisfaction, "We've met each other, haven't we? Who among us brothers is following the other? I am General Ye's most trusted guard, and you and I are brothers. In other words

, you are also the person that the general trusts most. Just the two of us have a few sips, and no one will find out. If General Ye does find out, Commander Liu has worked so hard these days, and the general will not pursue this trivial matter."

I don't know when, the wine jug was in Commander Liu's hands. He looked at the wine jug and swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything!" Xiao Weiwei said, patting his chest.

Commander Liu nodded, "Give it a go, just one bite!" After that, he looked around again. It was getting dark at this time, and the lights were out. He couldn't see clearly the situation of other people around him.

Naturally, I couldn't see him clearly.

Commander Liu gradually became more courageous. He and Guard Xiao each took a sip, and most of the pot of wine was quickly gone.

A hint of alcohol slowly appeared on Commander Liu's face, and his eyes began to become blurry.

"Eh? How come... why are there two Brother Xiao here?" He looked at Guard Xiao with hazy eyes, gestured with his hand in the air, and suddenly burped again.

Xiao Wewei gently fiddled with his hair that was not hanging in front of his face, "Old Liu, you are drunk."

Commander Liu waved his hand stubbornly, "I... am not drunk. We will be fighting soon, so we can't be drunk..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Commander Liu fell onto Guard Xiao's lap with a bang.

Xiao Wewei pursed his lips, gently lifted his head, and leaned it against the roots of a nearby tree.

At the same time, the twenty soldiers of the Ye family also became good brothers with different Yu soldiers. Soon, the forest became quieter, and faint snoring could be heard.

Ye Ningyu had not fallen asleep at this time. She and Fang Yanhe were standing on a high point overlooking the entire mountain. Xiao Weifei walked up to her lightly and said, "Girl, everything has been done."

Fang Yanhe smelled a faint smell of alcohol, and looked at Guard Xiao, who had an unchanging expression. "He drinks well."

Xiao Weiwei grinned and said, "I have a mission, so I'm just lazy, how dare I really drink."

Ye Ning said, "You take care of the twenty brothers here. If there is an emergency, wake them up immediately. I will just take Yanhe out."

"Girl, be careful!"

"It doesn't matter, Wu Sheng must be nearby and will follow me there."

As soon as Ye Ning finished speaking, she heard a deep and powerful voice, "Yes, girl, I'm here all the time."

Xiao Weiwei trembled and rolled his eyes at the dark night where he couldn't see clearly. "I said, can you please stop making any noise suddenly, it will scare people to death."

There was silence all around, and there was no sound at all.

"Let's go." Ye Ningyu said this to Fang Yanhe and Wu Sheng in the dark.

Then, several figures quickly disappeared from the spot, heading towards a trail not far away.

Huilang Mountain is divided into two mountains, the north and the south. The two mountains are in the shape of a triangle. The valleys are far apart. There is a river in the valley, called Linghe River. The higher you go, the closer the tops of the two mountains are to each other.

In Nanshan, there are occasional hunters and common people from surrounding areas who come out to hunt, while in Beishan, it is colder and less visited on weekdays.

Tonight, five hundred cavalrymen camped on the mountainside of Nanshan. Ye Ningyu and the others hurried towards the heights of Nanshan. After almost half an hour, they came to a more chaotic dense forest.

"Cuckoo, cuckoo..."

Suddenly, a familiar bird song sounded in the forest. Ye Ningyu stopped and examined it carefully.

She stretched out her index finger and thumb, put them into her mouth in a circle, and then a clear whistle sounded. The sound was not loud, but it was extremely penetrating.

Soon, there was a faint rustling sound in the dense forest.

Ye Ningyu held her breath and stared in the direction of the dense forest.

"The gray wolf sits north and south, and Lingshui walks east and west." A deep voice sounded in the forest.

Ye Ningyu calmed down and spoke slowly. "The glow is shining brightly on the top of the mountain, and the sun shines on the top of the northern mountain."

"Big girl!" Two figures suddenly appeared in the forest. They leaned out from behind a big tree and came straight to Ye Ningyu and Fang Yanhe.

"Uncle Han! Uncle Luo!" Ye Ningyu stepped forward to greet him.
