Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chapter 874 What exactly is in the Valley of Ten Thousand Years?

This time, Lu Yunfei led Lei Xiao to infiltrate the military camp.

Lu Yunfei refused to allow Chu Yueli to go back in, no matter what.

He knew where Yuwen Ying's camp was, and if things went smoothly, the trip shouldn't take too long.

In the end, it was Lu Yunfei and Lei Xiao who left.

Huo Qing, Chu Yueli, Ye Zi, and others rested where they were.

This wait lasted for more than an hour.

As dawn approached, Lu Yunfei and Lei Xiao finally returned, with Yuwen Ying, who had been rendered unconscious by acupressure, on Lei Xiao's shoulder.

"Ah Li, I'll take her back first to remove the curse from Xiao He. You must be careful."

Huo Qing had many more things she wanted to say, but Chu Xiaohe's condition couldn't be delayed.

All the words in the world boil down to one sentence: "Take care of yourself."

"I will, big brother is counting on you." Chu Yueli nodded and watched her and Ye Zi leave.

After the two watched Yuwen Ying walk away, Lu Yunfei walked to Chu Yueli's side and asked, "Have you rested enough?"

"Okay." She knew what he was anxious about.

Wansui Valley.

Wansui Valley is not far from the military camp, but it is deep in the mountains and forests. The distance is not far, but the mountain road is rugged and not easy to travel.

"The army cannot camp in front of Wansui Valley because there is no flat land there, so it will take them some time to get here."

Lei Xiao observed the high slope for a long time. Although the surrounding terrain was not clear, the trees were towering into the clouds and the weeds were growing wildly. It seemed that there were also many ferocious wild beasts.

The Khitan army cannot be stationed here permanently, but there are still many soldiers guarding the area, so he cannot estimate the exact number of troops for the time being.

"Roughly estimated, there are at least more than a thousand people just from our side."

We don't know what's behind the valley.

Lei Xiao turned and glanced at Chu Yueli: "If the Prince's team hasn't suffered any losses, there should still be over a hundred men left. With the Prince's team of over a hundred men, it shouldn't be difficult for them to break out, but they haven't come out yet."

Therefore, Lei Xiao couldn't understand what secrets lay within the Valley of Ten Thousand Years.

Although Wansui Valley was close to Yuwen Shu's military camp, it was not so close that they would be immediately surrounded when the army arrived. They should have had enough ability to escape.

Even if the other brothers couldn't escape, their prince should be able to leave.

With the prince's lightness skill, how could he not escape from a mere thousand enemy soldiers, especially given their sparse distribution?

What is it in Wansui Valley that keeps the prince from leaving?

"Your Highness, why don't you and the Ninth Prince wait here for me for a moment? I'll go around to the back of Wansui Valley to see what's going on."

"No need, you can't get through." Chu Yueli looked at the dense forest in the distance and shook her head.

"We haven't gone to see it yet." So, it's not necessarily impossible to get through it.

But Chu Yueli still shook her head: "Besides the front, there must be no way to go behind. Otherwise, Yuwen Shu's soldiers wouldn't have stayed here indefinitely. Have you seen any traces of anyone walking behind?"

Lei Xiao also noticed this, but what the soldiers couldn't do, they might not necessarily be unable to do.

How will you know if you don't try?

"How do you think your lightness skill compares to your prince's?"

Seeing that he blushed and dared not speak, Chu Yueli said, "I didn't mean to humiliate you, I just didn't want to waste unnecessary energy."
