Finally, Shen Lichuan sighed. He had already reached this point. If he backed down at this time, the rumor would spread to the capital and it would be a big deal.

To extend one's head is a knife, and to shrink one's head is also a knife.

Instead of doing this, it is better to fight and make merit.

Shen Lichuan's face was dark, and he began to think and analyze the current situation, "It will take at least three days for the large army to arrive. If the Tianyu soldiers who escaped here go back to report, the terrain of Lone Wolf Peak is steep. With our ten thousand soldiers, I’m afraid I’m no match for them.”

"Not afraid." Ruan Ningxiang's hoarse voice revealed a little pride, "Lone Wolf Peak is a dangerous place for us, isn't it for them?"

"What do you mean?" Shen Lichuan didn't understand.

Ruan Ningxiang has been studying the terrain every day for the past year and analyzing the main reasons why General Shen was defeated in the canyon.

The lack of food was only the trigger for their retreat. The real reason for their defeat was the unique terrain of Lone Wolf Peak.

If the people of Tianyu were able to suddenly attack Shen's army from front to back, it means that Lone Wolf Peak is not the only way to Tianyu Kingdom. There must be some small path that they haven't mastered yet.

She made a strategy based on the clues provided by the soldiers who experienced those wars.

The purpose of what she had done before was not to elicit the prince's subtle tricks, nor was it to lure the enemy into a small victory.

In fact, what she really designed was General Xiao Shen.

Her goal is the Tianyu Kingdom behind the peaks and canyons.

She did not hesitate to deceive General Shen, and took the 10,000 Shen family troops she deceived from him to raid the peaks and canyons in the rear.

She ordered Qi Haolin to get into the water and get tasteless tea from Uncle Fu. She killed some Tianyu soldiers and deliberately let some go.

She also calculated that if General Shen didn't see them, he would definitely figure out what was going on.

So she deliberately left traces on the road to attract people to find her.

There was even a hint of luck that General Xiao Shen would come with a large force.

At present, except A Yue who suddenly appears, everything is under her plan.

Ruan Ningxiang truthfully explained to Shen Lichuan what she was going to do next.

Shen Lichuan looked at the fire in the canyon in front and had to admit that this was indeed an opportunity.

"It's very late. You can take a rest. I'll guard this place." Shen Lichuan said.

Ruan Ningxiang was very relieved about Shen Lichuan. She wrapped her cloak tightly, buried her palm-sized face under the big brim of her hat, and rested against the big stone with her eyes closed.

Shen Lichuan sat down not far from her.

Although he was tired from running around all day, Shen Lichuan didn't feel sleepy at all. He crossed his chest and looked at the little figure huddled there.

She, a woman, followed a group of men on a six-day journey, and she stayed outside to rest like this at night.

He didn't come into contact with many women. When he was in the capital, the women he knew were all from aristocratic families who hid at home and never left the house.

This is the first time that I have seen such a woman who is not inferior to men in everything, and I secretly admire her intelligence and courage.

There was something going on here, Ruan Ningxiang didn't dare to sleep too much, just a light sleep.

In that canyon, under the burning firelight, dark shadows were reflected dimly. It was actually the three thousand elite soldiers led by Qi Haolin who were ambushing in the steep Lone Wolf Peak canyon.

The large army led by Ruan Ningxiang was hidden outside the Lone Wolf Peak Canyon a few miles away.

The cold wind swept through the deep valley, and the fine snowflakes fell on the face, and then melted silently.

Shen Lichuan patted Ruan Ningxiang and said, "It's almost dawn, but the Tianyu soldiers have not appeared."

How can a plan be so 100% accurate? Ruan Ningxiang rubbed her eyelashes that were frozen by the frost and snow, "Don't worry, wait a moment."

If that doesn't work, she has a second best plan B.

A Yue got boiled corn from somewhere and handed it to Ruan Ningxiang, "Miss, what other crooked idea have you come up with?"

Ruan Ningxiang took it, took a bite of the cold and hard corn cob, swallowed it with a lump in her throat, and then said: "The old tricks are repeated, soldiers never tire of deceit."

"Eh..." Ah Yue pouted, "Miss, follow my aunt..."

"Stop saying a few words and eat yours." Ruan Ningxiang stuffed the corn into A Yue's mouth, blocking his next words.

Ah Yue knew that she had almost said that she was bald just now, so she obediently lowered her head and gnawed on the potatoes. She choked a little, then hid aside and drank some water.

Shen Lichuan looked at the inseparable master and servant, "Is your relationship usually so good?"

Ruan Ningxiang stared at Ah Yue's back. She had gone through all kinds of hardships since entering the book, but the only thing that made her feel relieved was that she had a group of friends who were absolutely loyal to her.

Ruan Ningxiang curled her lips and said, "It should be said that they are not brothers and sisters, but they are better than brothers and sisters."

Shen Lichuan didn't know why she asked that, and he didn't know why, when he heard her say they were siblings, some vague emotions arose in his heart.

Shen Lichuan handed the potato given to him by his deputy general to Ruan Ningxiang, "Eat some, I'll be waiting for you later to arrange your troops."

Ruan Ningxiang is not polite.

Before even finishing a potato, the sound of a fierce fight finally came from the canyon over there.

Ruan Ningxiang stood up suddenly, "General Shen, your chance to avenge your father has come."

Shen Lichuan suppressed his excitement and vendetta, gave an order, rode ahead, and led the remaining 7,000 soldiers to attack.

Qi Haolin, who was luring the enemy deep, saw the enemy suddenly appear out of nowhere and began to retreat. When they fell into the eyes of the enemy, their behavior was to flee.

The soldiers of Tianyu took advantage of the victory to pursue them.

Qi Haolin retreated all the way and led people into a canyon.

At this time, the wolf tobacco rolled down from the mountains, bringing with it billowing smoke, cutting off the retreat route of the Tianyu people.

Not long after, Shen Lichuan and his troops also came to surround them.

He raised the knife and dropped it. The blood on the knife was like splashing raindrops, which reflected Shen Lichuan's eyes rolling with overwhelming hatred.

Seven years ago, his father retreated here due to lack of food, but was surrounded and killed by the Tianyu people in this Lone Wolf Peak Canyon.

Seven years later, he finally avenged his father here.

Ruan Ningxiang followed him step by step, stepping on the river of blood flowing in the cracks in the rocks, looking for the general of the Tianyu people.

Capture the thief first and capture the king first. Her purpose is not just to cut off the throats of the people of Tianyu. She is greedy. What she wants is the kingdom of Tianyu!
