God-given peasant wife's good fortune

Chapter 571 Heading to the Valley of the Dead (2)

582
Su Kefang didn't know that Hong Lie had made the worst plan, and when he heard that he had brought someone over, he couldn't help but glance at him gratefully, and handed a jade card from his arms to one of the hidden guards, letting him Negotiate with the generals stationed at the border again.

The dark guard came back after a while, and nodded towards Su Kefang. Su Kefang pursed his lips, shook the whip in his hand, and yelled: "Let's go!"

There is a dense forest at the border between Anjin State and Tianwei State, and the dense forest is full of traps. Hong Lie and two hidden guards open the way ahead, dismantling the traps and avoiding the traps.

There are a lot of insects, snakes, mosquitoes and ants in the woods, Su Kefang gave everyone a bottle of potion, and asked them to sprinkle the potion on their clothes, so that the insects, snakes, mosquitoes and ants would not dare to get close.

"Madam Marshal, with your potion, it will be much easier for us to go through this forest." Hong Lie said happily.

He used to enter this dense forest when he was a spy. At that time, he was bitten by a poisonous snake. Later, he almost died in the "Valley of Souls". Fortunately, he was rescued by a local woodcutter, so he returned in the army.

It was also because of this that he was able to bring Su Kefang and his party here so easily.

It took two days to pass through the dense forest, but with Su Kefang's potion and Hong Lie, an experienced person, the group spent a day and a night to pass through the dense forest, while Su Mu was captured by Su Kefang. Those who stayed at the other end of the forest waiting for Xinglong Mountain to come over.

After passing through the dense forest and walking for more than half a day, the group saw the legendary "Valley of Souls".

"The 'Valley of Souls' is in front of you. Apart from the ferocious beasts, it's also easy to ambush here. Everyone, be careful." Hong Lie warned.

They are located at the entrance of the "Valley of the Dead", and when they look up, they can see a winding, steep and deep mountain stone forest. The path between the "Valley of the Dead" is narrow and long, and can only accommodate two people side by side No wonder Hong Lie said that this place is convenient for ambush.

Even Su Kefang and Shan Zhuyin, who don't know how to march and fight, can imagine that if there are enemy troops ambushing on both sides of the canyon, it is not impossible to capture them alive.

Su Kefang frowned. As far as they could see the problem, it was impossible for Zirun and other generals not to know, how could they take risks in such a dangerous place?

Su Kefang didn't know the terrain here before, when she heard that An Jin's army was trapped and Xiang Zirun's whereabouts were unknown, she was startled and panicked, but after seeing the terrain here, she felt a lot more at ease.

Xiang Zirun is not a reckless person, and he will not joke about the lives of hundreds of thousands of Anjin troops!

Hong Lie asked Su Kefang and his team to rest at the valley entrance first, and went forward to scout for a few miles by himself. After returning, he muttered: "There is no trace of the marching army ahead, which is too strange."

"Is it possible that the traces were deliberately erased?" Su Kefang asked.

"This possibility is also possible!" Hong Lie said: "But if the two armies are at war, no matter how deliberately they will leave clues, I have walked a few miles and haven't found anything. I don't know what's ahead?"

During the few miles he scouted, he found not even a single drop of blood, half a body, and no traces of fighting. Even the trees and weeds on both sides were not damaged at all, which is unreasonable.

Hong Lie even suspected that the news that An Jin's army was trapped was deliberately released by the enemy to confuse people.

"Master Hong, is there really no other way to enter Tianwei Kingdom except this 'Sorrowful Soul Valley'?" Su Kefang looked at Hong Lie and asked.

Hong Lie thought about it carefully, and said with certainty: "As far as I know, this is the only way to enter Tianwei Kingdom."

If there were other ways to enter Tianwei Kingdom, An Jin Kingdom would not have been so aggrieved for decades, and even a small country the size of a palm could not surrender.

Su Kefang lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, then said to Hong Lie: "Master Hong, why don't we move on?"

Now the situation of Xiang Zirun and An Jin's army is unknown, and it is impossible for her to go back until she is sure whether Xiang Zirun is safe.

"That's what I mean too." Hong Lie said.

They gave up riding when they crossed the woods, and now they can only cross the canyon on foot.

Su Kefang asked Su Ye to take out the dry food, and each of them ate a pancake and drank some water before walking into the valley.

In addition to guarding against ambushes on the mountains on both sides, the group of them also had to guard against ferocious beasts rushing down from the mountains.

Fortunately, they were lucky. Apart from beheading two poisonous snakes that jumped out suddenly, they didn't encounter any large beasts.

"Marshal's Madam, this is where I did my investigation just now." After walking a few miles, Hong Lie said.

Su Kefang exchanged glances with several hidden guards, the dark guards understood, dispersed each other, and looked around, Su Kefang said to Hong Lie: "Master Hong, it's not that I don't trust you, I just don't want to let you go." I hope you won't be offended by any possibility."

"Marshal's wife is serious. I can understand your feelings. I also hope to find out the whereabouts of An Jin Dajun and Marshal Xiang as soon as possible." Hong Lie said seriously.

These guards are people close to Mrs. Xiang, so they must be more familiar with Marshal Xiang than he is, and it is not certain that they will find something.

Several hidden guards searched and checked the surrounding area, but found nothing.

"Not found is good news, maybe the Anjin army didn't come over?" Seeing Su Kefang's silence, Shan Zhuyin couldn't help persuading him: "Marshal Xiang has a good fortune, Fang Er, don't worry too much. "

Hong Lie glanced at Su Kefang and Shan Zhuyin, hesitant to speak.

When passing through the dense forest, Hong Lie found that the army had already passed through the dense forest, and there were traces of the army until the entrance of the canyon, but as soon as they entered the canyon, the traces of the army disappeared inexplicably, which was strange.

Hong Lie didn't know if Su Kefang and the guards had noticed this problem, and he didn't want them to be worried for nothing so they didn't tell the matter.

"I believe Zirun will be fine!" Su Kefang raised his head and smiled at Shan Zhuyin, and said, "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, let's move on."

They come, the security.

It would be best if Anjin's army didn't fall into a tight siege. If they really fell into a tight siege, they had to find Zirun and Anjin's army!
The group walked another two miles, when Hong Lie, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped, and looked up vigilantly at the rocks and trees on both sides.

Su Kefang's eyes also darkened, and he pulled Shan Zhuyin who was walking side by side with him.

Seeing that both Su Kefang and Hong Lie had stopped, with serious faces on their faces, they couldn't help but feel aroused.

"Madame Marshal, something is not right!" Hong Lie turned his head and said to Su Kefang in a low voice with a serious expression.

Out of a spy's instinct, Hong Lie smelled a dangerous aura.

Su Kefang nodded, and said calmly, "There are at least thousands of ambushes on the mountain!"

"What?!" Shan Zhuyin's eyes widened, and he covered his mouth and shouted.

"Madame Marshal, how do you know that there are thousands of ambushes on the mountain?" Hong Lie asked in a low voice, suppressing the turmoil in his heart.
