The people from the Shenhua Club finally stopped before reaching the pass.
That is the only exit out of this low hill going south.
"There are still ten miles to go, and there are dangers ahead." Li Yongchang put Murong Bai on his back on the ground and sighed.
"We have sacrificed more than sixty lives, are you helping us or harming us?" Amter Khan asked through gritted teeth.
"Idiot, can't you see it yet?"
Li Yongchang said calmly: "I'm already riding a tiger, and I can't look back."
"Then why do you want me, the Khitans, to die one by one?"
"To spy on the enemy." Li Yongchang looked at him sideways, "I made it very clear at the beginning!"
Amuter Khan said: "They are all dead, and their bodies may be being eaten by crows. Even if they find out the enemy's situation, what will they use to send back the news?"
"I don't need them to come back alive, I just want them to die."
"Explain it to me clearly." Amuter Khan said coldly.
Li Yongchang explained helplessly: "I am using their deaths to estimate the enemy's strength."
"For those who went out, I asked them to work in groups of three. If we want to kill them silently, even if the opponent's cultivation level is higher than yours, at least two people will be able to do it."
"Sixty people, twenty groups, four hours, eight directions. I can be sure that we are always surrounded by the opponent. Their numbers are not large and they adopt the same approach as us, which is to fight in small groups. The number is greater than
We have less and much more.”
"According to my inference, they will not exceed fifty people at most." Li Yongchang said confidently, "Thirty-five people are the most likely."
"A mere thirty-five people can bite us to death?" Amuter Khan looked in disbelief.
"Elite soldiers and strong generals. Even if the person leading the team this time is not one of Li Chu's generals, he must have been in the army."
"If I had underestimated him, I'm afraid we would all be dead now."
Li Yongchang said: "There are still ten miles to go. This is when we are most excited and most tired. Likewise, it is also when they are most nervous."
"If you take one more step forward, they might take action right away."
Amuter Khan looked around. In the pitch-black night, there seemed to be countless sinister eyes glowing with green light, staring directly at him.
He couldn't help but shudder.
"At one go, rush out?" Amuter Khan asked, "There are few of them, and there must be no first-class masters coming this time, otherwise they wouldn't be able to clean us up like this. If you and I work together, maybe we can do it the other way around."
They were all wiped out."
Li Yongchang was startled when he heard this, and immediately showed a thoughtful expression.
"What you said...is not unreasonable."
He looked at the humanoid package beside him and chuckled: "Even if it doesn't work out, there is still him."
Amuter Khan laughed heartily, "Yes, I actually forgot about Mr. Murong, what a neglect!"
"He, Murong Bai, is our number one helper now."
"It's okay to take the initiative, but you have to lower the opponent's defenses."
Li Yongchang pulled Amutir Khan over and lowered his voice: "You quietly give the order and everyone rests on the spot for half an hour. After half an hour, with me taking the lead, everyone abandons their luggage and food and only uses their swords and swords."
Slave, rush to the pass with all your strength. No matter who you meet on the way, as long as they are not from the Shenhua Society, feel free to kill them!"
"When we break out of the pass, we are like fish in water, free and easy, letting them find the needle in the haystack."
Amuter Khan nodded slightly and immediately left to deliver the order.
Li Yongchang did not hesitate, he took out a thick rope, tied the package wrapped around Murong Bai with himself tightly, sat down on the river bank, and secretly performed the exercises.
Seeing this situation, the Xueyitang spies lurking in the dark hurriedly left and sent a message to Li Xin'an.
After hearing the news, Ye Qinglan frowned and said, "What are they doing? There is still ten miles to go and we can get there in the blink of an eye. Why do they have to stop and rest?"

Qu Gang said: "Could it be that you are cultivating yourself and preparing to break through the pass in one go tomorrow?"
"That's not right." Ye Qinglan shook his head and objected, "They are constantly being attacked. They should have been frightened. The leaders, Amuter Khan and Li Yongchang, are the leaders of the same faction. They should know that if they stay for a moment longer at this time, more people will be killed.
If there is any danger, we must not stop."
"Brother Li, what do you think?"
"They are... so confident."
"You have nothing to fear? Why do you rely on it?"
"Number of people."
Li Xin'an sighed: "In our case, it is very likely that Li Yongchang has already touched us."
Ye Qinglan was shocked and said in disbelief: "How is this possible!"
"He sent a steady stream of people to be killed by us, so as to judge our manpower and position and figure out our layout."
"This is a common tactic used by the Tubo people to fight against the Tang Dynasty. Li Yongchang should have served in the border army."
"There are only about thirty of us. Once Li Yongchang knows our number, he will no longer be submissive, but will directly lead the Shenhua Society to attack."
"This break is just to fool us and disrupt our vision."
Ye Qinglan asked: "What should we do?"
Li Xin'an smiled slightly, raised his arms together, and stretched his waist widely.
"No problem!"
"Li Yongchang has seen it clearly, but he may not have that ability. People from the Shenhua Club...can't do it!"
Li Xin'an smiled and said: "When the time comes, we will be fighting bloody battles. The bones of the brothers of the Ye family must have been rusty. Our people will not be able to enter the elegant hall, and we will have to rely on you tomorrow."
Ye Qinglan sideways glared at the bored Ye family members behind him, then clasped his fists and apologized: "Brother Li, the Ye family didn't do much this time. It's embarrassing and makes my brother laugh."
"Tomorrow's bloody battle, the Ye family will definitely behead those thieves Amuter Khan and Li Yongchang!"
Li Xin'an smiled and nodded, looking past Ye Qinglan and towards the female guard Qu Gang.
"Senior, are you confident about dealing with Li Yongchang?"
Qu Gang had a calm expression on his face, "The second rank is just in the middle. No matter if the first rank blocks the way, I just have to throw out my punches. If I don't break, I won't fight back."
"Then...it's my fault again, senior." Li Xin'an bowed deeply, "Amuter Khan will be handled by Xin'an. Capture the thief first and capture the king first. If you kill these two people, there will be no danger in this battle."
Ye Qinglan excitedly slapped Li Xin'an on the back and said, "Brother Li, what about me, who am I going to deal with?"
Li Xin'an turned to look at him and said with a smile: "Ye Qi, you don't need to kill, you just need to save your life. When fighting, just find your cousin safely and bring him out."
"After all, if Shenhuahui can survive, Murong Bai must be saved. He is our most important goal."
Ye Qinglan nodded solemnly and replied in a deep voice: "I understand!"
Li Xin'an moved away to distribute orders to everyone in the Blood Clothes Hall.
Qu Gang approached Ye Qinglan and asked in a low voice: "Master, since this Master Li is that one, it would be better for us to sever the relationship with him as soon as possible."
Ye Qinglan asked softly: "Why?"
"That's... blood——"
Ye Qinglan hurriedly turned around and covered Qu Gang's mouth. Seeing that only people from the Ye family were around, he dragged Qu Gang behind a tree and asked solemnly: "You know everything?"
Qu Gang nodded, "I heard it from Ye Xiang."
"This stinky boy has no way of talking!" Ye Qinglan cursed in a low voice.
"Sir, what exactly are your plans?"
Ye Qinglan did not answer her question, but asked: "Who else knows about this?"
"There's no one else."
"Well, remember, as long as this matter is up to you, a third person will know about it..."
Ye Qinglan's eyes were cold, "There is no place for you two in the Ye family!"
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Qu Gang's heart skipped a beat, and he lowered his eyebrows and said, "Yes."
Ye Qinglan breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "You don't have to worry about me. I will stay in Chang'an when this matter is settled. Brother Li...hehe, don't tease him first."
"Li Xin'an is too dangerous, the head of the family -"
"Don't worry about my dad, that old man has been fed up with me for a long time and wishes I didn't come home."
Ye Qinglan said: "By the way, the third person I just mentioned includes my parents. If they find out—"
He turned around and stared directly into Qu Gang's eyes.
"I kill you."
"Please forgive me for not being able to obey Qu Gang's orders. All things must be done to comfort the young master's life. If you stay with Li Xin'an, I will definitely report it to the head of the house and his wife."
Ye Qinglan shook his head slowly, "Qu Gang, I'm not threatening you, I'm protecting you."
"Ye Xiang, that little brat, knew that he couldn't handle this by himself, so he got involved with you. Believe it or not, as long as you tell my father about Li Xin'an, my father will kill you immediately.
.”
Qu Gang blinked, somewhat unbelievable.
"This matter is not just about Li Xin'an, it also involves His Highness, and even the fight for the throne. What role does Brother Li play in it? If you think about it carefully, you will figure it out."
"Also, Murong Bai."
Ye Qinglan continued: "I know my cousin best. With his character, he actually feels at ease under Brother Li. It's not just because he is Mr. Pei Min's disciple. Moreover, His Highness's swordsmanship teacher does not live in the Imperial Palace.
Sun Mansion, but living in the inn, and having close contact with Brother Li, an outsider, and being able to drink wine together, can the reason stand up to scrutiny? Does anyone dare to scrutinize it? "
"Who does Li Xin'an represent? He is the sword sage of the Tang Dynasty, an important border general. He is Li Linfu, the former prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, the blood...their previous master. He is secretly intertwined with His Highness Li Chu and Murong Villa, the two top forces.
Once Brother Li's matter is leaked, the other party will have to face the joint pursuit of the imperial court and Jianghu."
"I, the Ye family, can't be that unlucky guy."
Ye Qinglan spoke in a heavy tone, "Qu Gang, please remember, the water in Chang'an City is too deep and cannot be controlled by us small merchants. The Ye family only needs to take care of their own eyes and mouths, be an imperial merchant with peace of mind, and wait for His Highness to ascend the throne and enjoy peace of mind
Peace, everything is safe."
Qu Gang said: "But my subordinates still don't understand why, sir, you want to stay in Chang'an and stay with Li Xin'an."
Ye Qinglan smiled bitterly and said, "Even if I return to the Ye family, what place will I have to stand on?"
"The eldest brother and the second brother want to deal with me, but my father still hopes that I will become a talented person. My mother is fasting, praying, and living in a temple. She hasn't been home for ten years. It's because of me! There are so many pairs of eyes staring at me from inside and outside Yangzhou City. I don't want to
If I dare to go back, they will make me breathless."
"Chang'an, although dangerous, is comfortable."
Ye Qinglan said: "Li Xin'an is not a bad person. Otherwise, how could he be accepted as a closed disciple by Mr. Pei Min? How could he be friends with Murong Bai? I am very curious about him. I am still the number one in the past twenty years."
This is the first time I have such a strong interest in someone else."
"We are very similar, really similar."
Qu Gang said: "But they are notorious after all."
"We are not good people. Have the Ye family done many evil things over the years? Qu Gang, your hands must have been filled with the blood of many innocent people."
"My subordinates are frightened and it is difficult to disobey the master's orders."
Ye Qinglan patted her shoulder and said: "I don't want to pursue anything, and I don't have the qualifications. What I want to say is, live in peace of mind."
"Why are you calling me?" Li Xin'an's voice suddenly sounded behind the two of them.
He had already laid out all the orders. When he came back, he saw Ye Qinglan and Qu Gang standing sneakily behind the tree. Everyone in the Ye family looked like they were trying hard not to laugh, and they couldn't help but joke:
"Oh, you're flirting."
"Get out!" Ye Qinglan laughed and scolded, "Have everything been arranged?"
"Everything is ready." Li Xin'an patted the bulging fireworks bombs on his waist, "We're just waiting for the Divine Flower Club to rush over."
