Chapter 135: The Cunning Rebels (3)

Hearing Mu Yi's words, Su Ling noticed that Gu Yun was also in the camp. His brows furrowed tightly, and he asked coldly, "Why are you here?"

Gu Yun felt there was no need to answer this question. Looking at Lou Muhai, Gu Yun asked, "Old General Lou, what kind of place is Crow Valley?" Since that man emphasized that she should collect the corpse at Crow Valley, he must have intended to make an appointment to meet there.

Lou Muhai came back to his senses. Walking toward her, he replied, "It is a canyon near the right side of the forest. Whenever it is the rainy season, rainwater from the heights gathers to form a waterfall, and the canyon becomes a river. Only in the dry season, when the water decreases, does the shape of the canyon appear. Because the terrain is steep and dangerous, only birds can fly over it, and the area around the canyon is full of dense forest, dark and humid, hence the name—Crow Valley."

Gu Yun pondered for a while and said, "They chose Crow Valley; I think there are two reasons. One is that the rebels' lair might be near Crow Valley; the second reason, which I think is the most likely, is that the terrain of Crow Valley is extremely advantageous to them, so they chose it. I suspect that when the time comes, they will use the terrain advantage to block us on both sides of the canyon and let Su Ling go alone."

Hearing her analysis, Su Ren and Yu Shijun also walked over. The four sat together, and Yu Shijun suggested, "This subordinate remembers that the new recruits trained by Madam have supernatural climbing abilities. Can our army bypass the canyon from below and attack them by surprise?"

Gu Yun shook her head. "It is summer now, and it is the season with the most rain. It should be impassable there."

Lou Muhai agreed, echoing, "Madam is right. Crow Valley is already filled with rushing river water now. Trying to pass through from the bottom of the valley is impossible." She had never entered the forest, yet she was so familiar with the rainy season of the forest. General Su's wife was indeed different from ordinary women!

Su Ren asked in a low voice, "Then in your opinion, how should we respond?"

Gu Yun did not answer immediately. After a while, she replied cautiously, "I think it is better to investigate the actual terrain before discussing how to deal with the enemy. After all, there are still three days!"

In the main camp, Gu Yun sat upright in the main seat, with the three surrounding her, looking like they were obeying her every word. Instead, Su Ling and Mu Yi were left aside. Mu Yi laughed, "I say Ling, it seems there is nothing for you to do here. Did I go to the wrong place? Is this the Su Family Army camp? Who is the master of the house?"

Hearing this, it sounded like he was standing up for Su Ling, but listening closely to the tone, it was definitely unadulterated schadenfreude.

Turning around, facing Su Ling's deep eyes, Su Ren remembered that his great big brother was still standing behind. Laughing awkwardly, Su Ren hurriedly explained, "Uh... Big Brother. Tonight, the rebels raided the camp's provisions. Han Shu chased after the thieves after discovering them, but unexpectedly fell into an ambush in the woods. They demanded that Big Brother go personally. If Big Brother doesn't go to Crow Valley in three days, they will take Han Shu's life. Sister-in-law also entered the woods just now and had a direct confrontation with the rebels. We are discussing how to rescue Han Shu."

Han Shu was captured by the rebels?! Hearing this news, Su Ling's eagle eyes turned cold. What arrogant rebels, daring to capture his men to threaten him!

Mu Yi didn't care at all about who was captured, but rather about that "Sister-in-law." The hand holding the flute lifted slightly, and Mu Yi's eyes flashed with thick teasing. He looked at Su Ling and laughed, "I didn't know you were actually married? Tsk tsk tsk... you really know how to keep a secret." Su Ling's face instantly turned cold enough to freeze someone to death. However, it was clear that Mu Yi didn't buy this act. Mu Yi turned elegantly, bowed slightly to Gu Yun, and laughed in a voice full of banter, "Sister-in-law, excuse my rudeness just now!"

Mu Yi's pretentious performance made the two parties involved roar simultaneously, "Shut up!"

Mu Yi raised his eyebrows slightly and replied with an amazed face, "Oh—as expected of a married couple, perfect tacit understanding!"

Gu Yun's cold eyes turned cold. Staring at Mu Yi, she roared unceremoniously, "Monster, if you want to watch the show, stand aside honestly. Mind your own mouth and don't provoke me."

Mu Yi's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly. "What did you call me?"

Gu Yun looked at him from head to toe and from toe to head with cold eyes, examining him thoroughly. Facing his slightly flickering eyes, she fought back without any avoidance, "For a man to be so flamboyant, not calling you a monster would be a disservice to this outfit of yours!"

Su Ling still had an ice-cube face, but the corners of his lips were twitching suspiciously. Monster! This title was really too suitable for Mu. It's just that this woman was really a bit ignorant of life and death. The last man who called Mu enchanting, the weeds in front of his grave were probably already taller than her!

Mu Yi's slender eyes narrowed slightly, like a cunning and treacherous fox. Everyone who looked at him felt a chill, but only Gu Yun was unmoved and competed with him in eyes. Want to go crazy?! Joke! If you dare to dress like this for no reason, you must be prepared to be talked about!

She was actually not afraid of him! Interesting. The coldness in his eyes was replaced by interest, which instead gave Gu Yun goosebumps. This man was definitely a troublesome man. Gu Yun withdrew her gaze, not wanting to look at him anymore, and said to Su Ren on the side, "Su Ren, set off at the Mao hour tomorrow to explore the terrain of Crow Valley."

Gu Yun had just stood up to leave when Su Ling, full of anger, shouted coldly and domineeringly, "It is not your turn to give orders here. Go back to the General's Mansion now." She was really lawless, actually following the army to Pei City. What was Ren thinking?

Gu Yun's footsteps paused. She turned around slowly, with a fake smile on her face that was extremely perfunctory, and replied, "General Su, I think you have misunderstood one thing. I have no interest in commanding your army, and it is not your turn to manage my affairs."

After speaking, Gu Yun picked up the Ice Refinement on the table and left with big strides.

"Ice Refinement?" A flash of surprise flashed in his eyes. Mu Yi looked at Su Ling. He actually gave the Ice Refinement to that woman. Could it be...

"Who allowed you to touch that sword!" Su Ling's next roar denied Mu Yi's guess. With his arms around his chest, Mu Yi was truly interested in this woman now.

Grabbing the door curtain, Gu Yun didn't even look back, just shook the Ice Refinement in her hand and replied arrogantly, "It's mine now. If you have the ability, grab it back! I'm waiting!" From the moment she decided to pick up the Ice Refinement, she had no intention of letting go easily.

The ink-black figure disappeared gracefully outside the tent, leaving a group of people facing the man who was about to explode with anger. Lou Muhai coughed lightly and laughed awkwardly, "It's getting late, this old minister will take his leave first."

He didn't quite understand what was going on. Even an honest official finds it difficult to settle family affairs. It was better for him not to get involved in this muddy water.

Lou Muhai successfully escaped, and Su Ren also hurriedly retreated while laughing, "Yes, yes, yes, it's so late, Big Brother, I won't disturb your rest!"

God, he knew Qing Mo was very fierce, but why didn't he notice that she could talk people to death on weekdays!? Or was she especially prickly when facing Big Brother?

At such a time, he had better slip away!

"This subordinate... this subordinate also takes his leave!" Su Ren flashed out of the tent extremely quickly. Yu Shijun finally came back to his senses and immediately took his leave repeatedly.

In the huge main camp, the moment Qing Mo left, the people slipped away cleanly. Mu Yi held the jade flute and played with it at his fingertips. At this time, only he dared to tease the tiger, and laughed shamelessly, "Why do I have a feeling of sadness?" The great general's former prestige is no longer there!

"Get out!"

A lion's roar came from the main camp, and the soldiers outside the tent were shocked. Gu Yun rolled her eyes and just pretended not to hear it as she walked toward the tent where Ge Jingyun was.

Lifting the curtain and walking in, more than twenty soldiers lived in a large tent. Seeing who was coming, the soldiers all climbed up and stood in line, with happy smiles on their faces, and shouted in unison, "Chief!" Finally, they could see her again. To be honest, when they were trained by her, they wished they would never see her again. After leaving, they missed her every time they thought of her.

Gu Yun smiled and nodded, and replied, "Alright, everyone rest."

Walking to the last floor mat, Ge Jingyun had already struggled to sit up with Leng Xiao's support, "Chief."

Gu Yun frowned and said in a low voice, "Alright, lie down."

Leng Xiao keenly noticed the bandage wrapped around her left arm. His cold face sank, and he asked urgently, "Are you injured?"

Gu Yun shook her head indifferently and laughed, "A small injury, it's fine, don't worry." Leng Xiao didn't say anything more, but his cold face became even colder.

Ge Jingyun's wound had been treated, and thick bandages tightly wrapped the wound. Apart from his face still being a little pale, there was nothing unusual.

A small piece of silver-glowing thing was hidden beside his pillow. Gu Yun squinted and looked, and Leng Xiao took it out knowingly.

It was a short arrow more than five inches long. Unlike ordinary arrows, besides the arrowhead being iron, the arrow shaft was also iron. The most terrifying thing was that there were hook-like patterns on the arrow shaft. No wonder Ge Jingyun's blood was so difficult to stop. For such a wound, it would probably not be easy to take the arrow out.

What a sinister weapon. Gu Yun asked in a low voice, "Did you see the person who shot the arrow?"

Leng Xiao and Ge Jingyun looked at each other and shook their heads, "That person is about the same height as Ge Jingyun, and thinner than me. It was too dark, and I couldn't see his appearance clearly. But he is indeed powerful. We couldn't get close to him. In such a dark environment, we were both running, and he could still shoot arrows at us, and every arrow was very accurate!"

Yes, such things are not something ordinary people can do. In addition to good eyesight, senses are also very important. She had also conducted shooting training while blindfolded, and she had practiced for three full years to achieve a 90% hit rate!

Putting the short arrow back under Ge Jingyun's pillow, Gu Yun stood up, and all the soldiers stood up in unison again. Gu Yun laughed and said, "It's not training now, and I'm not your chief anymore. You don't have to be so fearful in the future. Alright, everyone rest early."

Gu Yun walked to the door, and the soldiers were still standing there, staring at her. Gu Yun asked strangely, "What's wrong?"

"Chief..." Leng Xiao opened his mouth, but paused again.

All the soldiers winked at him. Gu Yun was a little curious and laughed, "If you have anything to say, just say it!"

Taking a deep breath, looking up at Gu Yun, Leng Xiao shouted, "Can we still fight side by side with you?"

Gu Yun was startled. Facing those eyes full of longing and expectation, she felt a sourness in her heart for no reason. Lowering her head slightly to stabilize her emotions, Gu Yun looked up after a long time and laughed coldly, "Practice your body first. My subordinates don't have sick cats!"

"Yes."

Gu Yun went outside the door, and a burst of joyful roars erupted in the room. Gu Yun shook her head. As expected, they were still a group of boys under twenty!

With a warm smile, Gu Yun stepped away, naturally not noticing that on the other side of the tent, a pair of deep eyes were coldly watching her back.

Qing Mo, what charm do you have?

In the days he was away, what did she do?!
