Chapter 119
Lei Yuxiu, Shen Lie, Xiao Man, and Chang Fengjue led sixty soldiers who were good at concealed combat to the mouth of the Xilin River Valley on foot.

Shen Lie and three of his men quietly brought down the two Beirong soldiers who were patrolling by Taniguchi, and hid their bodies in the dense forest.

Afterwards, Shen Lie led a team to sneak into the valley first, and set off towards the farthest southwest fortress.

Chang Xiaoman was a little surprised, a team of 20 people is not a minority in this dense forest, but they can actually pass through the dense forest without making a sound.When the back of the last person disappeared among the sparse shadows, it was as if the team led by Shen Lie disappeared into the forest out of thin air, without any sound.

Lei Yuxiu saw Xiao Man's thoughts, and whispered in her ear, "Don't be nervous, they are both hunters who are familiar with hunting, and they are good at hiding in trees and grass. The southwest fortress is surrounded by lush forests grown in river valleys. Vegetation, so it is best for such a group of people to sneak."

Xiao Man took a deep breath, she would be lying if she said she wasn't nervous, after all, she had to set off soon.

Chang Fengjue came forward with a long bow and quiver on his back, and said in a gentle and polite tone: "Mr. Lei, the Taniguchi Fortress that our team is going to attack is located on the Xilin River Beach. But there is no place to hide around, only the nearby cliffs. It can be used for hiding. Although I can fly up, it may take some time for Miss Chang to climb up. How about our team go first?"

Lei Yuxiu nodded.

Xiaoman suddenly felt a little silly.

She fell asleep after eating last night. She thought that Lei Yuxiu would tell her about the strategic plan when he came back, but he didn't expect to get the news of his departure as soon as he opened his eyes.Apart from knowing that she was going to lead a team to attack the Taniguchi Fortress, she was blinded by the terrain and the situation of the personnel in the fortress.

But Chang Fengjue seemed to know all about these things like the palm of his hand.

Chang Fengjue smiled at Xiaoman, "Let's go." She tightened the quiver on her back, and with a wave of her hand, fourteen archers and six warriors followed her and set off towards the mouth of the valley.

"Follow the team well, don't fall behind, and ensure your own safety first." Lei Yuxiu shook Xiaoman's hand and whispered in her ear.

Xiaoman was stunned, wondering in his heart, isn't she leading the team?But now it looks like Chang Fengjue is leading the team.

She turned her head to look at Lei Yuxiu, only to see that he had already walked towards her team of 20 and began to help the team members check their equipment for the last time.He seemed to feel Xiao Man's gaze, and turned his head to frown and smile at her lightly.It can be seen that he is not at ease, but he also knows Xiao Man's personality, so it may be impossible for her to go back at this time.

Xiao Man settled down, took a long breath, and quickened his pace to keep up with his team.

The valley road is more difficult than imagined.

Fortunately, the climate here is very warm, which is completely different from the windy and snowy land outside the valley.There are occasional birdsong in the forest, accompanied by the sound of the river flowing through, which is very pleasant.The further you go into the valley, the higher the temperature will be. After walking a few steps, there is some sweat on Xiaoman's forehead.

The soldiers followed behind Chang Fengjue, concentrated, no one spoke, and their steps were light, not easily making any noise.

Xiaoman has lost his way in this forest valley.Now she began to suspect that the person Lei Yuxiu really chose to lead the team was Chang Fengjue.When they discussed the battle plan last night, Chang Fengjue must have been there, while she, Chang Xiaoman, was sleeping soundly in bed.

Thinking of this, Xiaoman pouted, scolding Lei Yuxiu eight hundred times in his heart.After all, he still didn't believe her.

But looking at the woods in which the direction of the Western Zhou Dynasty was almost exactly the same, Xiao Man, who had completely lost his direction, had also dropped to the bottom of his self-confidence.

Although the fortress was built at the mouth of the valley, it was actually far away from the real mouth of the valley.Moreover, they need to take a detour to climb up the cliff by the valley. The journey is not as short as imagined. Instead, they have to use their hands and feet to climb up the hill all the way.

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound in Xiaoman's ears.

At first, she thought that the rustling sound was just the sound of the wind blowing the leaves, but as she moved forward, the sound seemed to follow her everywhere around her like a shadow.

She looked around and saw nothing unusual.I thought it might be my auditory hallucinations, or it might be the mountaineering air pressure that affected the eardrums.

Rubbing her ears and shaking her head, the rustling still affected her thoughts not far or near.

At this time, Chang Fengjue noticed that she had stopped, and stood still, looking at her with doubt and disgust.

Xiaoman looked up and saw Chang Fengjue at the front of the team looking at him, immediately calmed down, and continued to follow as if nothing had happened.

But the more she tried not to hear the rustling sound, the rustling sound became clearer.

After walking for another half a mile, the rustling sound surrounded Chang Xiaoman like someone whispering, which made her almost unable to concentrate.Xiaoman covered her ears, but the whispering voice still didn't stop.

Chang Fengjue noticed her abnormality, let the team go first, walked to Xiaoman by himself, and whispered contemptuously, "What's wrong? You still have time to go back now."

Chang Xiaoman glared at her without answering.

"I heard a stream not far ahead, where the whole team can rest for a while." Chang Fengjue said, "I don't know how long it will take to reach the destination with you, a laggard."

"You..." Xiaoman gritted her teeth, but the whispers in her mind made her unable to concentrate on refuting Chang Fengjue.

Chang Fengjue sneered, turned and walked towards the front of the team.

Xiao Man took three deep breaths, and followed with her legs.

Soon, she also heard the stream that Chang Fengjue said, and couldn't help complaining in her heart, "It really is a white-haired owl".

Chang Fengjue ordered the soldiers to rest where they were.

Xiao Man finally followed, but was stunned in place.

Hibiscus was actually blooming on the edge of this stream.

The blossoming hibiscus petals were as bright as blood, and the stamens were like red snakes spitting out cores, which made her feel shuddering.Coupled with the whispers in her ears, she had an extremely bad feeling.

"You still have the heart to look at flowers?" Chang Fengjue taunted in her ear, "We're not here to visit mountains and rivers, Miss Chang."

Chang Xiaoman ignored her and walked straight to the hibiscus bush.Even though the valley is much warmer than the outside, it is much worse than the temperature required for hibiscus to grow and bloom.She touched those petals lightly, the touch was real and not an illusion.

Suddenly, there was silence in her ears.

The rustling whisper died away as soon as she touched the flower.

It was as if the sound had never happened.

Xiaoman frowned, unable to explain what happened.

Chang Fengjue ordered the whole team to continue to set off, and the soldiers immediately picked up their weapons and followed silently.

Xiaoman had no choice but to leave the hibiscus bushes and follow the team.She took five steps and looked back at those hibiscus, only to find that they were all open to her, as if they were staring at her strangely.

She closed her eyes, accelerated the pace of the chasing team, and told herself in her heart that no matter what, the goal now is to occupy the fortress as soon as possible, and the rest will be discussed on the return journey.

Not long after, they came to the cliff next to the fortress that Chang Fengjue had mentioned before entering the valley.

Xiaoman lay on the cliff and looked towards the bottom of the valley. The location where the fortress was built is about 500 meters away from where they are now. There is white mist in the valley that obstructs the line of sight. Not to mention shooting arrows at such a height and visibility, she can even connect to the whole The fortress buildings are all blurred, let alone the soldiers inside can be found and locked on the target to kill.

At this time, no matter whether it was the Shuanghua Scripture or the Feixue Linghua Blade, they were completely out of range.

"Useless." Xiao Man used these two words in his heart to describe his current state.

Xiao Man's expression darkened, but when he turned his head, he saw Chang Fengjue standing on the edge of the cliff, the corner of his mouth was bent as if he could see through her thoughts, his eyes were full of contempt and ridicule.

When a gust of wind came, Chang Fengjue suddenly spread his wings and jumped off the high cliff gracefully.

The fourteen archers beside her suddenly opened their arms and jumped down with her.

Xiaoman was taken aback, and lay down on the cliff to look down, only to see those archers with huge paragliders on their backs, and all of them were flying along the valley with the wind.

She opened her mouth wide, completely unaware of such an operation.

Chang Fengjue flapped his wings in the wind, nocked an arrow with his long bow, concentrated his monster power on the tip of the arrow, and pulled the bowstring with all his strength.In an instant, the arrow flew out, piercing the air, and pierced through the head of the scout in the watchtower on the top of the fortress at the bottom.

The alarm didn't go off, and the guards in the fortress were still on duty, some guards even leaned against the wall and dozed off.

All the archers descended to a suitable height, and all bowed and shot arrows continuously. The fortress guard was nailed to his post with little resistance.

"I found an enemy attack! I found an enemy attack!" The entire Beirong Fortress was in chaos, and the guards quickly picked up their weapons and began to fight back.

Chang Fengjue was the first to land on the ground, pulled out three arrows and shot at the enemy in front of him without hesitation.

Squads of soldiers also arrived at the fortress one after another and began to fight with the fortress guards.

Chang Xiaoman was still on the high cliff at this time, and had no chance to participate in the battle at all.

She looked back at the six soldiers beside her and asked, "How do we get down?"

The soldier was a little surprised, "The order we got is only to be responsible for your safety, you are here, we are not going anywhere."

"What?!" Xiaoman was speechless in surprise, and then he scolded Lei Yuxiu three thousand times, his heart racing with anger beyond forgiveness.

It turned out that he had thought about it a long time ago, but when it was impossible for her to stay obediently in the camp and wait for him, he thought of a way to let her come to this high cliff where she could not go down or walk, and specially arranged six Guards keep her safe.

No wonder Chang Fengjue looked at her with disgust and contempt along the way.

Obviously she knew that she was here to watch the fun.

"Lei Yuxiu!" Xiaoman clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, stood up and stamped his feet on the ground, and cursed, "You look down on me too much!"

She took out the bone food, stomped heavily on the rocks under her feet, and flew to the bottom of the valley.
