When Yuwen Gu rushed to this place, Ning Xiuzou had already left.

He got off his horse, held a torch and came to the row of stoves.

He bent down and put his hand into the unburnt firewood. The warmth of the firewood was still there, and he finally laughed.

"Yelu is evergreen!"

A burly general behind him bowed his hands and said, "The general is here!"

Yuwen Gu reached out and pointed south, "I remember that the emperor ordered you to lead the troops to explore Death Valley a year ago. What is the situation in Death Valley?"

"Back to General, Death Valley is an endless swamp!"

Speaking of this, Yelu Changqing had a palpitating look on his face, but he couldn't see it clearly under the cover of his helmet.

"It's a valley, but there are indeed mountains on both sides, but the mountains are hundreds of miles away!"

"If you want to take a detour from the two mountains, it is impossible, because the general has also gone to investigate. The two mountains are extremely high and the mountain walls are steep. Even if you climb over those two mountains, the other side of the mountain... …But it is an abyss that is difficult for birds to cross!”

"If you want to invade Ningguo from this road, you must walk through the three hundred miles of swamp!"

"I will take 3000 people to explore the road at the end, and when I come back, only... 300 people are left!"

Yuwen Gu frowned. He did not expect that the Death Valley would be so dangerous.

"If you know how to do Qinggong, you might be able to survive peacefully?"

Yelu Changqing shook his head: "We will eventually settle down. It looks like a land with lush green grass, but if we accidentally fall down... once a person lands on it, it will sink like floating sand..."

"The mud will rise up and swallow it up, making it impossible to rescue it."

"However, it is not all flowing areas. My subordinates have marked some areas, but the distance from one area to another is a bit far. Unless you are a master of the second realm as mentioned in the Central Plains martial arts, otherwise it will be very difficult. It’s hard to leap over.”

"..."

Yuwen Gu's expression darkened.

Because although his second eagle is good at fighting, when it comes to martial arts...Huang Ren only practices brute force, and almost no one understands Qing Kung.

If this is the case in Death Valley, there is no way for your team to penetrate deep into it unless you take a floating bridge.

However, although the [-] or so female soldiers of Ning Xiuzi have some skills, I am afraid that not many of them can reach the upper level of the second realm.

They can't get through either!

Yuwen Gu laughed sadly.

Then, trap them in Death Valley!

"Mount your horse...!"

"Keep chasing me, General!"

For a moment, the horseshoes thundered, and Yuwen Gu led the second eagle to continue southward!

……

……

Ning Chuchu and his party drove thousands of horses to run wildly.

The cavalry of Yuwen Valley behind him are getting closer and closer!

By daybreak, I could even hear the sound of enemy horses hooves coming from behind me!
Zhiyuan was very anxious.

Kaiyang came on horseback and kept pace with Ning Chuchu.

"Your Highness!"

"If you don't abandon your horse, I might be too late!"

Ning Chuchu's face was serious. Of course she knew that the current situation was very critical.

She raised her head and looked forward.

Ahead is a hillside.

The slope is relatively gentle.

Her eyes suddenly lit up, "Send the order, sisters, rush to the slope with me... stay where you are... let's just kill this damn eagle!"

No one expected Ning Chuchu to do such a crazy move.

When Kaiyang heard this, he swallowed.

The war horse is still rushing forward.

She turned and glanced back.

The enemy's shadow can be seen in the distance.

At this time, even if you abandon the [-] horses, it is already too late.

Then it would be better to fight to the death with the second eagle right here!

She clamped her legs together and rushed out at the lead.

After half an hour.

More than [-] Ning Xiu soldiers stood neatly on the top of the slope.

They had turned their horses' heads and were looking in the direction of the second eagle.

Yuwen Gu led the Second Eagle to rush to the foot of this hillside!
He never expected that the mice would stop running away!
Is this...going to fight this great general?
"stop……!"

He roared loudly, and the second eagle Wanqi stopped at the foot of the hillside.

Yelu Changqing came on horseback and saluted: "General... I am willing to lead three thousand riders to wipe out these damn rats!"

Yuwen Gu suddenly laughed.

He waved his hand:
"There is a saying in the Central Plains: Don't chase poor bandits."

"They are already poor bandits, why should we chase them?"

He stretched out his hand and pointed towards the hillside:
"Yelü Changqing... you have to use your brain for things like war!"

"This fourth princess is not simple!"

"Although she has only [-] people under her command, she has [-] horses!" "Think about it, if she goes crazy and drives those [-] horses down the mountain..."

"We, nearly ten thousand soldiers, can only kill those horses first!"

"They can take advantage of this chaos to kill our people!"

"Why bother?"

"Isn't she going to Death Valley?"

"Then let her in!"

"After she enters, we will continue to press forward step by step and block them in the swamp of Death Valley..."

"You can neither move forward nor retreat."

"Trapped them to death!"

"This is called a soldier who subdues others without fighting... Do you understand?"

Yelu Changqing understood.

He smiled naively and bowed his hands again: "Best greetings, General!"

"After these rats are trapped in Death Valley, my subordinates will take some people to hunt!"

"Then we will roast meat and watch them starve to death while eating!"

"Ok!"

Yuwen Gu nodded with satisfaction and issued another order:
"Order... everyone to retreat a hundred feet!"

It's not that he's afraid of Ning Xiuzu, a mere seven hundred women.

He was worried that Ning Chuchu would really go crazy and cause unnecessary losses to his second eagle.

It will be safer to retreat further.

Ning Chuchu, who was standing on the hillside, was dumbfounded.

She thought that the next step would be a fierce battle, and she actually ordered all the ten thousand horses to be driven to the front.

But she never expected that Yuwen Gu would not pursue him again!
She didn't even expect that Yuwen Gu would withdraw!

"...What do they mean?"

Ning Xiuzi’s girls don’t know either.

After a while, Zhiyuan muttered: "Your Highness, they are not far away... They look a bit like they are herding sheep!"

"Herding sheep?"

Ning Chuchu suddenly realized: "I know, Yuwen Valley wants us to enter Death Valley!"

"So, is Death Valley really a desperate situation?"

She frowned.

Because she had no other way to go but to Death Valley.

Yuwen Gu retreated and formed a formation. Even if he really drove these horses to fight his second eagle, he lost the chance.

She turned her head and looked in the direction of Death Valley. After passing through Death Valley, she entered Youzhou of Ning State, which meant she had returned home.

Going to Kyoto from Youzhou is considered home.

Chen An must be on his way home at this moment.

But I... I'm afraid I'll never go back.

What should we do now?
Yuwen Gu's retreat pushed Ning Chuchu into a desperate situation.

At this moment, her eyes suddenly lit up.

More than ten riders came galloping from the direction of Death Valley.

That was the person Yaoguang brought to Death Valley to explore the road.

Yaoguang brought 20 people with him.

Ning Chuchu frowned.

What came back was... 12 people!

Yaoguang and his party rushed to the slope, and naturally saw the formations down the slope.

"Your Highness!"

Yao Guang bowed his hands and said, "Death Valley... is extremely dangerous..."

"Just tell me if there is a way!"

"...Your Highness, Death Valley is extremely vast. My subordinates did not fully explore it, but nine sisters died!"

"How did you die?"

"Swallowed by the swamp!"

"My subordinates have found a place to stay... That kind of place is like an island, not big, but the distance between islands is far..."

"My subordinates believe that if we want to cross safely, we need to build a large number of wooden bridges."

"or……"

"Or what?"

Yaoguang raised his head and looked at Ning Chuchu, "Maybe there is a guide who is very familiar with Death Valley, otherwise... I might not be able to survive safely!"

Ning Chuchu understood.

This is exactly what Yuwen Gu had in mind!
There is definitely no guide.

Now how to do?
It only took ten breaths for Ning Chuchu to make a decision.

"Let's go to Death Valley!"

"Even if you die there, you will be closer to our Ningguo!" (End of Chapter)
