One day, Fang Yue was riding his horse at a high speed on the official road. Suddenly, he frowned and felt a murderous aura.

He slowed down his horse and looked around. He saw dense woods on both sides of the road, and it was quiet and silent.

"There's an ambush."

Fang Yue made an instant judgment. He patted the horse's back lightly, and he flew into the air, landed on the treetops beside the road, and disappeared into the woods in an instant.

At the same time, just at the moment he left the ground.

A cold arrow nailed his original position.

Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of bowstrings vibrating in the woods on both sides of the road, and dense rain of arrows poured down towards the middle of the road.

After the rain of arrows, a group of rough men rushed out of the woods, holding weapons and rushing into the woods.

But soon, these people lost trace of Fang Yue.

"Where are the people?"

"Find quickly!"

These barbarians, who were two meters tall and wearing animal skins, searched everywhere quickly but could not find their target.

Half a quarter of an hour later, in a mountain col ten miles away.

"Captain Ten Thousands, my subordinates are incompetent. The man ran too fast and has disappeared."

Half a quarter of an hour later, a reckless man walked up to the leader known as the "Captain of Ten Thousands" and lowered his head to report, his voice full of annoyance and unwillingness.

Captain Ten Thousands, a strong man with a beard and sharp eyes like an eagle, riding a giant wolf, frowned when he heard this.

"Hmph, there are so many of you in an ambush, but you didn't catch a single person? Forget it, you asked someone to follow you. If you don't know it, go back and get thirty lashes! Let's retreat immediately!"

The captain snorted coldly, and then looked away.

"Since your Excellency is here, why don't you show up and see me!"

As the Captain's words fell, there seemed to be a subtle fluctuation in the air, as if time and space had frozen at this moment. All the rough men looked around alertly, holding weapons tightly in their hands, ready to deal with enemies that might appear at any time.

Suddenly, a breeze blew by, blowing the leaves and bringing an unusual smell. Immediately afterwards, a figure slowly walked out from the depths of the woods. It was Fang Yue who had disappeared before.

He was smiling, but his eyes revealed a firmness and sharpness.

"You barbarian has a keen sense." Fang Yue praised.

Then he glanced at the about thirty barbarian warriors around him and said with a smile: "It's just that you people shouldn't be here! After all, how did you cross the border and how did you know my whereabouts? Come out and let you die!"

Hearing this, the Ten Thousand Captain narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Fang Yue closely, feeling secretly vigilant in his heart.

He didn't expect that the other party was so calm and could detect their presence.

This was definitely not an ordinary opponent. Thinking of this, he actually wanted to retreat.

"Hahaha, what do you think you know?"

The captain laughed loudly, trying to cover up the surprise in his heart, "We were just passing by, saw you walking alone, and wanted to say hello."

"Oh? Do you need to ambush an archer to say hello?"

Fang Yue laughed contemptuously, obviously not believing what the Captain said, "Since you don't want to say it, I will ask you personally."

Before he finished speaking, Fang Yue flashed and appeared in front of a barbarian warrior.

He struck like lightning and instantly subdued the warrior, and then asked coldly: "Tell me, how did you know that I would pass by here?"

The barbarian warrior was overwhelmed by Fang Yue's momentum and stammered: "You, you"

"You bastards, come on over and kill this arrogant southerner!"

Seeing how miserable his men were, Batu, the barbarian captain, roared angrily, interrupted the warrior's answer, and waved his hand to order other warriors to attack.

The eyes of these barbarian warriors instantly turned red. They were mumbling words, and their bodies began to glow with a faint light, as if they were shrouded in some mysterious power.

This is the ancestral power of the barbarians, a mysterious power passed down from generation to generation, which can inspire extraordinary combat power at critical moments.

Captain Batu was the first to bear the brunt. He was riding on the giant wolf, holding a huge battle ax in his hand, and the battle ax shone with a breathtaking cold light.

He shouted, and the giant wolf rushed towards Fang Yue like an arrow from a string.

When Fang Yue saw this, his expression was solemn but not panicked.

He knew that the combat effectiveness of these barbarian warriors would soar with the blessing of the power of their ancestors, so he must deal with them carefully.

He flashed and avoided Batu's frontal charge. At the same time, he swung out his long sword, and a sharp sword energy struck Batu's flank.

Batu also reacted very quickly. He swung his battle ax and split the sword energy.

Immediately afterwards, he jumped up from the back of the giant wolf, holding an ax in both hands and struck Fang Yue. The blow was so powerful and heavy that it seemed to split the air.

Fang Yue flashed and avoided Batu's attack again.

He knew that it would not be wise to fight head-on with these barbarian warriors blessed by the power of their ancestors.

Therefore, he decided to adopt guerrilla tactics, taking advantage of his body skills to continuously consume the opponent's ancestral power.

In the fierce confrontation, Fang Yue was like a gust of wind, moving left and right, forward and back, dodging the attacks of the barbarian warriors with amazing speed and agility.

His long sword is like a spiritual snake, attacking at critical moments, forcing the opponent to continuously consume the power of his ancestors to resist.

As time went by, the light of the barbarian warriors began to dim.

Their attack speed and strength have dropped significantly, which is a sign that the power of their ancestors is about to be exhausted.

A trace of anxiety flashed in Batu's eyes, and he knew that continuing like this was not the answer.

He brandished his battle ax and shouted loudly, trying to regain morale.

However, Fang Yue would not give them a chance to breathe.

He saw the right moment, flashed, and instantly appeared behind a barbarian warrior.

With a wave of the long sword, the warrior fell to the ground, and the light of the ancestor's power also dissipated.

This scene frightened the other barbarian warriors, and they began to panic.

Fang Yue took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack. His long sword was like a dragon, rushing left and right. Every blow was extremely precise and hit the vital point.

When Batu saw this, he roared angrily, brandishing his battle ax and rushed towards Fang Yue.

He knew that he had to take action personally to reverse the decline.

However, Fang Yue seemed to have expected it, easily dodging Batu's attack, and stabbed Batu's chest with his backhand sword. Batu was horrified and quickly swung his ax to resist.

However, Fang Yue's sword cleverly bypassed the battle ax and pointed directly at Batu's throat like a snake coming out of its hole.

In desperation, Batu had no choice but to abandon his ax and retreat. Only then did he barely escape the fatal blow.

However, this blow also caused Batu to completely lose his combat effectiveness.

He sat dejectedly on the ground, looking at Fang Yue with resentment on his face.

When the other barbarian warriors saw this, they also stopped attacking and looked at Fang Yue in horror.

"You can tell me now! Who leaked my whereabouts to you!"

Fang Yue looked coldly at Batu and the other barbarian warriors sitting on the ground, his voice revealing unquestionable majesty.

Batu looked up at Fang Yue, a trace of hesitation flashing in his eyes. Then a cheerful smile appeared on his face: "Who is it? Who else can it be? Of course it is the commander-in-chief of the Zhenbei Army, His Highness the King of Han from your Wei Dynasty!"

"King of Han?" Fang Yue frowned, with a look of disbelief on his face, "Are you sure it was King Han who leaked my whereabouts?"

Batu snorted coldly, with a sarcastic smile on his face: "Why, can't you believe it? That aloof King of Han would actually do such a thing. You are the supervisor, and he is the commander-in-chief. If he kills you, he will be able to rebel. "

Fang Yue was shocked in his heart, but he kept his expression calm, took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and asked in a deep voice: "What evidence do you have to prove that the King of Han leaked my whereabouts?"

Batu took out a letter from his arms and threw it to Fang Yue: "Read it yourself!"

Fang Yue took the letter with confusion and opened it. As expected, his whereabouts and related information were written on it. The letter was signed without a name, but if his location and itinerary could be written down in such detail, he must be a high-ranking official in the imperial court.

Among them, the King of Han, who had just confirmed the itinerary with him, had the greatest relationship.

Fang Yue was filled with doubts. He looked around at the barbarian warriors around him again, knowing that this was not the time to go into details.

He quickly folded the letter and put it in his arms, ready to check it carefully later.

"Okay, now it's time to send you on your way!"

As soon as Fang Yue finished speaking, his figure was like the wind, and he appeared in front of a barbarian warrior in an instant. With a wave of his sword, the warrior fell to the ground. When the other warriors saw this, they fled in terror, but Fang Yue's figure was like a ghost, shuttling among them, and every time he swung his sword, a warrior fell down.

When Batu saw this, he roared angrily and tried to reorganize the warriors to fight back, but Fang Yue's figure had already appeared in front of him.

"You..." Batu looked at Fang Yue in horror, but before he could finish speaking, Fang Yue's sword had already pierced his chest.

Batu's eyes widened, looking at Fang Yue in disbelief, and then slowly fell to the ground.

The battle ended soon. Fang Yue stood in the center of the battlefield, looking around at the fallen warriors, without much joy in his heart.

He knew that these barbarian warriors were just tools for others to use, and the real culprit was the person who leaked his whereabouts.

He put away his sword and continued on his way.

Who wants to kill him can only be found out in the Zhenbei military camp.

If it was really the King of Han, why did he do this?
Fang Yue had no personal grudge against the King of Han, so could it be a dispute at court? Or did the King of Han really have a rebellious attitude?

Fang Yue was deep in thought as he rode forward.

He had to be careful and not alert the enemy.

At the same time, he also had to find a way to verify the authenticity of the letter and find out whether there was other evidence to support Batu's statement.

A few days later, Fang Yue arrived at Stone City, the city where the Zhenbei Army was stationed.

He did not enter the Zhenbei military camp immediately, but temporarily stayed in the city.

In Stone City, Fang Yue began to secretly investigate the relationship between the King of Han and the barbarians, and whether there was other evidence to prove Batu's statement. He disguised himself as an ordinary businessman and traveled through the markets, talking to people and collecting all kinds of information.

A few days later, Fang Yue overheard several soldiers of the Zhenbei Army talking about the secret deal between the King of Han and the barbarians in a wine shop.

"Do you know? I heard that His Royal Highness the King of Han has some dealings with barbarians recently." A soldier whispered.

"I heard about it too, it seems like they are exchanging some supplies." Another soldier said.

Fang Yue's heart moved and he moved closer, trying to hear more information.

"What do you know? I heard that His Highness the King of Han wants to use the help of the barbarians to get rid of some of the thorns in the court's eyes." Another soldier said mysteriously.

The comments of these soldiers coincided with Batu's statement. The King of Han did have some connection with the barbarians, and it seemed to be involved in some ulterior conspiracy.

But how could these things be known to everyone and reach his ears by such a coincidence!

Fang Yue realized that there might be a fraud. Someone might have deliberately leaked the soldiers' comments to him, hoping to mislead him or lead him into a trap.

He was wary and decided not to believe these rumors easily and needed further verification.

In order to obtain more conclusive evidence, Fang Yue prepared to follow these soldiers to see who was instigating them!

In the hazy night, Fang Yue quietly followed the soldiers who were talking about each other.

They walked through the alleys of Stone City and came to a remote courtyard.

Fang Yue hid in the dark and saw one of the soldiers knocking on the door. After the door opened, they filed in.

Fang Yue frowned, secretly wondering: What exactly is this place? How is it related to the King of Han?
In order to find out the truth, he decided to take the risk and sneak in.

He looked around to make sure no one was paying attention, then jumped over the courtyard wall and landed lightly in the courtyard.

There was silence in the courtyard, with only a faint light coming from one house.

Fang Yue crept closer to the house, his ear pressed against the crack of the door, trying to hear clearly the conversation inside.

"How are things going?" came a deep voice, which seemed to be a leader asking.

"Your Majesty, everything is going according to plan. We have successfully passed the message to the target person." The soldier who knocked on the door replied.

Fang Yue was shocked, it turned out that all this was really a trap! They leaked the information deliberately just to lure him into taking the bait.

Thinking about it now, the ambush encountered on the road and the discussions of these soldiers were all carefully planned dramas.

"Very good, continue to act as planned. As long as he steps into the Zhenbei Military Camp early tomorrow morning, we can catch the turtle in the jar."

There was a hint of coldness in the leader's voice.

Fang Yue sighed secretly in his heart, realizing that he was in danger.

Fortunately, he noticed something was wrong in advance and did not blindly believe those rumors, otherwise he might have fallen into the enemy's trap at this moment.

He quietly left the compound, deciding to take immediate action.

But just after he left, the leader in the room looked in the direction Fang Yue left: "This should make you believe it!" (End of Chapter)
