Nanzhao Manzi, who was chasing him all the way, never thought that these damn Dahao spies would be able to help him!
This place is obviously still hundreds of miles away from the border town of Dahao!
Moreover, after these spies were discovered in Nanzhao, they were chased and fled all the way. They had no chance to send out a distress signal. How could anyone respond in the Wuwu Forest?
The most frightening thing was that these three hundred people seemed to be even more ferocious than their old enemy, the Ning Family Army. When they saw their eyes, they were as bright as if they were prey, and they were extremely excited.
The Nanzhao barbarians couldn't help but shudder and wanted to retreat, but it was already too late.
In just one breath, hundreds of Nanzhao barbarians were killed by three hundred people.
The people of the Ning clan who tasted the blood of their enemy for the first time were all in a state of excitement.
Ning Qingyan ignored them and just ordered several captains to lead their men to clean up the battlefield, and then she personally took the seriously injured scout back to the border town.
On the way, Ning Qingyan took out a few pills and asked Banxia and Bai Wei to give them to them and save their lives.
…
Back at the border town, Ning Qingyan carried them directly to meet Ning Yan.
When Ning Yan saw the man's expression change, he immediately ordered the military doctor to come for diagnosis and treatment.
"They are all the scouts I sent to Nanzhao. It seems that they were discovered by Nanzhao." Ning Yan explained to Ning Qingyan while the military doctor was treating them.
Ning Qingyan nodded: "When we met them in the Wuwu Forest, they were being chased by people from Nanzhao."
Ning Yan pondered for a moment, "Then it seems that they must have discovered some secret, and the people from Nizhao are chasing after them."
"Secret?" Ning Qingyan's eyes moved slightly.
Ning Yan saw what she was thinking, raised his hand and patted her shoulder: "When they wake up, everything will be known."
After a while, the military doctor sent someone over to tell Ning Yan that some of the injured scouts had woken up.
Ning Yan immediately took Ning Qingyan to the medical clinic, and in a separate room, he saw the first scout who woke up.
This scout is an old man in the Ning family army. This is not the first time for an experienced scout to go to Nanzhao to inquire about information. He is also the leader of the scout team this time.
He was the strongest and his injuries were relatively minor. In addition, he had the pills thrown away by Ning Qingyan to save his life, so he woke up quickly.
When he saw Ning Yan and Ning Qingyan coming in, he struggled to get out of bed and salute.
"I have met the old general. Thank you very much, Miss, for saving my life!"
"Lie down and don't mess around." Ning Yan stepped forward, helped him up personally, and pushed him down on the bed.
Although Ning Qingyan didn't take advantage of it, she nodded slightly to his gratitude and said: "It's just a little effort, don't worry about it."
"Okay, you're not an outsider, so you don't have to be so polite. Tell me, what did you find in Nanzhao? Do you know why they suddenly stopped fighting among themselves?" Ning Yan asked.
When it came to business, the scout's face became solemn. "Some things did happen in Nanzhao, which caused their tribes to temporarily put aside their personal hatreds, gather together, and launch an attack on Dahao."
Ning Qingyan had learned before that the climate in Nanzhao was harsh and there were many swamps and poisonous barriers.
Therefore, resources are scarce, and even though the indigenous people living there are of the same race, they inevitably invade each other due to competition for resources.
Over time, the tribes became enemies with each other.
The few unifications in history could not last long.
Usually after the death of the lord who achieved unification, the territory of Nanzhao would fall apart again.
But this time, it wasn't Nan Zhao who revealed the Ming Lord that brought them together, but a legend.
It is said that there is an ancient secret realm in the Forest of Wuwu, which was left behind after the power of Xiu Xuan shattered the void thousands of years ago.
If we can find that secret realm, we may be able to turn Nanzhao upside down from now on.
Even if it doesn't work, the treasures hidden inside are still coveted.
However, the people in Nanzhao did not want Dahao to know this news.
But unfortunately, the Forest of Wuwu is right between Dahao and Nanzhao.
If they enter the Wuwu Forest to search unscrupulously, they will definitely alert the Ning family troops stationed in the border town.
When the time comes, this secret will also be passed on to Dahao.
If Dahao is also interested in the ancient secret realm and devotes all his efforts to searching for it in the Wuwu Forest, then what else can they do to Nanzhao?
As a result, the leaders of the various tribes in Nanzhao, driven by their own interests, rarely put aside their old grudges, gathered their elite troops together, and launched an attack on the border city of Dahao.
Their plan is ideal!
In the original plan, they fought their way out of Nanzhao, occupied the border town as quickly as possible, and killed all the Ning family troops, so that the entire Wuwu Forest could be captured in their arms.
It is impossible for Emperor Dahao to know the secret of Wuwu Forest, and they can dig three feet deep in Wuwu Forest to find the whereabouts of the secret realm.
It's a pity that the Ning family army is not vegetarian.
After they launched the attack, they immediately sent a message to the court.
Moreover, Ning Yan came in person!
After that, they suffered heavy losses in the beast tide. They saw that they had lost the opportunity and had no choice but to retreat first.
However, they did not give up their original plan.
After the scouts of the Ning Family Army sneaked into Nanzhao, they heard that they were planning to recuperate for three months before gathering troops and launching an attack again.
But this time, they discovered the spies of the Ning Family Army, and they didn't know whether the plan would be advanced or postponed.
"...I don't know when that legend came out in Nanzhao. My subordinates thought it was a bit strange, so they wanted to go and dig deeper to see if it was a conspiracy created by someone with ulterior motives, but they didn't want to be discovered.
He lost his identity, was chased and fled all the way, and finally met the eldest lady when he was about to die, otherwise..." When the scout leader said this, his eyes looking at Ning Qingyan were filled with gratitude again.
There is no need to talk about what happened next.
What makes Ning Yan and Ning Qingyan curious is the secret realm in the so-called Forest of Nothingness.
Secret realm?
This seems to be a word that only appears in the mysterious world, but it actually appears in the mortal world.
And, is there anyone who firmly believes this?
The two looked at each other.
Ning Yan comforted the scout and told him to take a good rest. After recovering from his injuries, he took Ning Qingyan out.
"Grandpa, you have been stationed in the border town for many years. Have you ever heard of rumors that there is a secret realm in the Wuwu Forest?" Ning Qingyan asked Ning Yan directly as soon as he came out.
Ning Yan thought for a long time in silence, then slowly shook her head: "No."
"Then what does grandpa think of this rumor circulating in Nanzhao?" Ning Qingyan asked again.
Ning Yan thought about it again, sighed and said: "It may not be without reason. If there is someone with ulterior motives deliberately spreading rumors about this matter, then that person's purpose must not be limited to this. If it is true, I'm afraid Wuwu Sen
There are many secrets in it that we don’t know.”
Ning Qingyan nodded: "Grandpa is absolutely right. And what I am thinking about now is whether the disappearance of the Yanbao Army and my father... are also related to this so-called secret realm?"
Ning Yan's eyes narrowed: "Yan'er, what do you want to say..."
"Report——!"
The sudden arrival of the messenger interrupted the conversation between the two.
The man was wearing the armor of the Ning family army. After seeing Ning Yan and Ning Qingyan, he immediately knelt down on one knee: "Old general, eldest lady, just now the soldiers guarding the city saw a distress signal coming from the Wuwu Forest.
, General Qian personally led the team to respond, but found that everyone was missing!"
Everyone?
Among the border towns, in the past month, the only people who went to Wuwu Forest every day were 300 people led by Ning Qingyan.
Therefore, after the messenger finished speaking, he raised his eyes and looked at Ning Qingyan, whose face was gloomy.
