Fang Chen nodded and said: "They have a large number of people escaping. Facing the sky-blasting cannon, they will not be able to break out from the water. In all likelihood, they will flee to the island."
So, Fang Chen and Bai Ling'er decided to go to the island to have a look.
Ye Xue'e next to her said: "Brother Fang, Miss Bai, I won't go with you. I'll stay with the General."
Ye Xue'e is well-behaved and sensible. She doesn't want to bring Fang Chen down, so she wants to stay this time and go back with General Jinlong's people.
Fang Chen nodded, "General, Miss Ye will be left in your care."
General Jin Long promised: "Please rest assured, Mr. Fang, I will arrange manpower to take care of Miss Ye, and take Miss Ye to a safe area now."
"Master Fang, I'll give you two thousand people to go there together. When the time comes, I'll have someone to take care of you."
Fang Chen refused. He just wanted to act with Bai Ling'er. He had too many people and the action was too slow.
Of course, Fang Chen suggested that General Jinlong send people to the island from other areas and meet on the island when the time comes.
Next, Fang Chen and Bai Ling'er took a boat and quickly approached the distant island.
General Jinlong was making calculations. Originally, he thought that Xuan Tianshuo and others would not go to that small island.
Because that's the Island of the Dead!
However, seeing that Luo Longyu had gone, and now Fang Chen and Bai Ling'er had also gone, he thought about it, discussed it with several senior officials, and finally sent 10,000 people to prepare to go to the island!
…
At this moment, the sky is already bright!
After Lu Cangqiong and others landed on the island, they had been there for more than an hour.
This island is called Strange Rock Island. There are many strange-shaped rocks on the entire island, as well as a few woods and lakes. Most of the island is a large dead land.
More than a thousand people came to a forest to rest.
At present, they just hope that the enemy's search team will not find this place. They stay on the island for a few days. After all the search teams in the sea area leave, they can use the big trees on the island to make some simple rafts and float them.
Cross the ocean, find other caravans doing business, and evacuate safely.
However, not long after, the spies in the distance suddenly ran back and shouted: "It's not good, it's not good! There are a large number of people coming ashore from the north and searching for us!"
There is a team of more than a thousand people on Xuan Tianshuo's side. They will definitely leave footprints and traces along the way. As long as someone discovers them, they will be found sooner or later!
Soon, a second spy came back to report: "A large number of ships appeared in the western waters, and at least 10,000 people were approaching the island!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard the report. They didn't expect that the enemy would catch up so quickly, let alone that there would be so many people!
Everyone is panicked.
Now, the enemy knows they are on the island and it is very difficult to escape!
First, they don’t have a boat, and second, a large number of people can surround the island from all directions, making it difficult for them to fly!
Xuan Tianshuo and others took out the map and discussed it together.
Soon, Tang Qingshan gave a suggestion: "Let's escape to the south. There is a valley in the south, which is convenient for us to hide. Moreover, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. There are many swamps, dangerous places, and dense woods where we can hide.
."
"As long as we work together, even if there are more than 10,000 enemies, we still won't be able to attack in a short while!"
Lu Cangqiong saw the location on the other side of the valley and said: "But, the map indicates that the other side of the valley is a dead place, and there is only one way in and out!"
Xuan Tianshuo saw the mark on the map and said in confusion: "There are enemies coming ashore in the north and west. The south is indeed the best escape route. However, there is a cliff behind the valley. President Tang, is it really appropriate to go there?"
?"
Tang Qingshan explained: "There are many geographical environments in the valley that can be exploited and traps can be set up. We can disperse and hide and break through the enemies one by one. This is the best way."
"There is no other way but the south!"
After everyone deliberated for a while, they had no choice but to evacuate to the south and hide in the valley.
He even planned to take advantage of the harsh environment to fight a protracted war with the enemy and then find an opportunity to leave.
It's the only way at the moment.
More than a thousand people evacuated quickly. Half an hour later, Fang Chen and Bai Ling'er followed the footprints and traces to the woods. After investigating for a while, they determined that Xuan Tianshuo and others were resting here.
"Senior sister, Xuan Tianshuo and others left not long ago, let's chase them quickly!"
"Well, there are no traces of fighting here, which means that no one caught up with Luo Longyu and others."
So, the two of them continued to chase forward, following row after row of footprints.
…
The sun has risen high, but the cold sunlight has no warmth at all.
Xuan Tianshuo and his party finally arrived at the mouth of the valley and saw a large swamp in the distance.
Changqingshan looked at the map and looked into the distance and said: "Everyone, follow me and be careful."
Just as he walked into the valley, suddenly, a loud shout came from not far away.
"Xuan Tianshuo, Lu Cangqiong, my old friends, where are you going?"
A sound like thunder came from a forest on the left side of the valley.
Soon, densely packed soldiers surrounded us. These soldiers were all equipped with sophisticated armor and weapons.
More than three thousand soldiers quickly approached here.
"Second Prince, why is it you!"
"Weren't you arrested? Why are you here!!"
Lu Cangqiong, Xuan Tianshuo and others were extremely surprised. No one expected to see Luo Longyu here.
It's like seeing a ghost!
They had cooperated with Luo Longyu before. On the wedding day of Fang Chen and Princess Xuanyu, they worked together to reveal Luo Ningxin's identity as the empress, but unfortunately they failed in the end.
When Luo Longyu was captured, he revealed all his plans, forcing Lu Cangqiong and Xuan Tianshuo to rebel.
Xuan Tianshuo and Lu Cangqiong hated Luo Longyu deeply. Later, Luo Longyu was imprisoned in Dongchang Prison. They believed that Luo Longyu would definitely die, but they did not expect that they would meet here.
They were even more puzzled when they saw Luo Longyu leading more than 3,000 soldiers!
Luo Longyu's whole body was full of murderous aura, "I came here today to get rid of you two and hand your heads to His Majesty!"
Xuan Tianshuo and others all understood that Luo Longyu is now working for His Majesty!
But how could Your Majesty let a rebel go?
Xuan Tianshuo mocked: "Luo Longyu, you are also a hero of the generation, and you almost sat on the throne of the emperor. You also know that the current emperor is a female emperor. You were completely defeated and lost at the hands of the female emperor. But now, you are willing to
Working for the Empress and being her lackey is simply ridiculous!"
Lu Cangqiong was also puzzled that such an ambitious person would not surrender to the Empress even if he died, but now he was leading people to work for the Empress.
"Luo Longyu, let us go, or you can stand on our side, we are on the same front!"
