Chapter 946 Entering Lingmen Mountain
Lingmen Mountain is a bit far from Dongfang Batian, and now Huan Yin and his group are marching in a large group, so it will take them several days to finally reach Lingmen Mountain.
During this process, Lie Prajna kept entangled with Yue Xiaoxian, trying to please her in every way, and even tried every means to prevent Yue Xiaoxian from rewarding the soldiers, so that she was always at the back of the entire army.
Of course, his eyes would occasionally sweep towards the vanguard camp, revealing a cold light. At the same time, he would often send the vanguard camp out to do the so-called information gathering.
However, the whole journey was smooth and peaceful, so what information could be gathered? Huan Yin was very clear about Lie Prajna's tricks in his heart. He just wanted to delay Yue Xiaoxian and then send himself away. In this way, he ensured that he and Yue Xiaoxian would not recognize each other before the army entered Lingmen Mountain, and Yue Xiaoxian had no chance to protect him, so his plan could be implemented.
It was not difficult for Lie Prajna to do this, after all, his authority was the greatest in the current army. Moreover, Yue Xiaoxian had been kept in the dark, and although she hated Lie Prajna, she couldn't keep him away from her now that they were going to the war together, so she stuck to him.
In the end, Lie Prajna's goal was really achieved. When approaching Lingmen Mountain, Huan Yin and Yue Xiaoxian had been perfectly separated, and there was no chance of contact. Yue Xiaoxian didn't know Huan Yin existed in the army at all.
Lie Prajna was quite pleased, thinking that he had arranged it well and handled it well. But he didn't expect that Huan Yin had never thought about recognizing Yue Xiaoxian from beginning to end. Huan Yin's thoughts were much more terrible to Lie Prajna than finding a protective umbrella.
In this way, the large group of people finally arrived in front of Lingmen Mountain. Lie Prajna was already very happy, but she didn't know that Huan Yin was also faintly excited.
It was more than 5,000 feet away from the mountain, which was a considerable distance. However, even if they looked far away, the soldiers could only see part of the entire mountain. The mountain was so high that it reached the clouds and was extremely huge, giving people a feeling of oppression. Many soldiers were amazed at the size of the mountain, which was a bit exaggerated.
However, there were also soldiers who were familiar with Lingmen Mountain and knew that the mountain in front of them was only the main peak of Lingmen Mountain. If you want to see the entire Lingmen Mountain Range, its size would be even more terrifying.
The herald shouted a few times, and the entire marching team stopped. The troops behind were in uniform, but Huan Yin's so-called vanguard camp was crooked.
When Lie Prajna saw the whole army stop, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said to Yue Xiaoxian beside him: "Xiaoxian, the mountain in front of you is the main peak of the Lingmen Mountain Range, that is, Lingmen Mountain. According to the information I received, there are old bandits whose strength should not be underestimated in this Lingmen Mountain."
Today, Yue Xiaoxian wore a floral dress and robe, which looked quite lively and youthful. However, there was no expression on her beautiful face at the moment. After listening to Lie Prajna's words, she stared at the mountain in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.
After a while, Yue Xiaoxian seemed to sigh softly, but it seemed that she didn't. Then she said, "Are you sure it's here?"
Lie Prajna nodded repeatedly: "My information must be correct. It's just that there are probably a lot of old bandits, so perhaps some of them will wander around. However, as long as we enter Lingmen Mountain today and catch their leader, it will be a great achievement. At that time, I will definitely give you the first merit!"
The first merit of eliminating the old bandits is a great merit, which can get a lot of rewards and the official position will definitely be promoted. For this kind of merit, all soldiers today are eager to get it. However, after listening to Lie Prajna's flattery, Yue Xiaoxian did not show any excitement. Her face was still expressionless, and her eyes seemed to reflect a different thought.
Then, Yue Xiaoxian stared at the distant mountain for a while before continuing, "There is fog outside this mountain, which can block the divine sense to a certain extent. Especially in those places with thick fog, the divine sense can't penetrate at all. Lord Lie Prajna, if the news in the army is true, if there are indeed powerful old bandits hiding here, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with them if we rush in like this. Maybe... maybe we can investigate it, then go back and report the situation, and then let the higher-ups think of a solution."
The Yue Xiaoxian that Lie Prajna knew was never a person who was afraid of death. He knew that the woman he loved would dare to fight even if she met an opponent stronger than herself, and would not frown even if she died. Therefore, Yue Xiaoxian's words now sounded a bit cowardly, which was a bit strange.
However, Lie Prajna didn't dwell on this issue at the moment, but just wanted to please the woman next to him. Thoughts turned in his mind, and he said: "Xiaoxian, don't be afraid, I'm here. Just stay with me and stay safe. Today is a great opportunity to make achievements, just leave it to me!"
These few words were said so coolly that Lie Prajna admired himself a little. However, he was eager to show off, but he didn't notice that Yue Xiaoxian's eyes were flickering. Then, Yue Xiaoxian said again: "I see that there is occasionally yellow smoke floating out of the white fog. I'm afraid there is still poisonous miasma in Lingmen Mountain. If we rush into the mountain rashly and are not familiar with the situation, I'm afraid we will suffer a loss."
Liepanruo laughed and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I will order the army to surround Lingmen Mountain. Then, I will let the forward battalion enter the mountain first to find out the truth. By then we have information, it will be easy to enter the mountain to suppress the bandits. ?”
"Forward Battalion?" Yue Xiaoxian repeated. Just as he was about to look at the front of the entire army, he found Liepanruo suddenly stood up, blocking his sight, and said with a smile on his face: "Yes, this Forward Battalion The people selected are all the elites I have carefully selected, and it is most appropriate for them to go find out the information. Xiaoxian, just sit here, I will arrange everything, and you can just wait and celebrate!"
After saying that, no matter how Yue Xiaoxian reacted, Lie Prajna could not wait to torture Huan Yin to death. Therefore, Lie Prajna turned around and spoke to the herald: "Tell me, the general, to have the army surround the entire Lingmen Mountain. Not even a fly can be let out. Then, let the forward battalion enter the mountain to explore the truth. Be sure to find useful information. If anyone dares to hesitate and kill the army directly, they must not lose the power of our army!"
"Yes!" The herald received the order and bowed respectfully to Lie Prajna. When he turned around again, he loudly announced Lie Prajna's order.
The military orders were like mountains, and the main force naturally moved quickly according to Lie Prajna's instructions. In just a few dozen breaths, the entire army had formed a circle and surrounded Lingmen Mountain airtightly. Looking at the formation and momentum, it seems that if there are really old bandits in Lingmen Mountain, I am afraid that once they appear, they will be mercilessly strangled by the main force.
As for the so-called vanguard camp on Huan Yin's side, that's another story. After the general order was made clear, the swaying forward battalion showed almost no change and was still lazy. Only the commander named Liu Tian cheered up a little, then stood in front of everyone and said in a low voice: "It's our turn, be smart, or don't blame me if you lose your life!"
A bunch of crooked melons and cracked dates looked at Lingmen Mountain shrouded in mist, with cowardice in their eyes. Some of them have even started talking quietly, but they are not talking about grabbing the top spot, but talking about finding a safe place to hide after entering the mountain, dawdling around for a few hours, and then pretending to return without saying anything. Nothing like this was found.
There was a lot of discussion, but Liu Tian, the commander, turned a deaf ear to it. He glanced at his forward battalion again, paying a little more attention to the Feipeng team who were incompatible with the entire forward battalion, then turned around and said: "Everyone in the forward battalion, follow me into Lingmen Mountain!"
After that, he flew up first and rushed towards Lingmen Mountain with his personal followers. Behind him, although the people of the forward battalion were timid, they did not dare to disobey military orders, and finally followed Liu Tian and charged forward.
Among them, Huan Yin's Feipeng team was naturally included. When rushing in, Huan Yin quietly transmitted a message to his own people: "After entering the mountains, quickly regroup and escape from the jurisdiction of the forward battalion. Ignore all so-called generals and just listen to my command."
