321: Anyone lead the way?

“Is there anything you want to say?” Lin Yue asked, pressing him.

“Alright, I told the Young Master about your plan to raid the Right Wise King’s Encampment tonight. You know, I couldn’t just stand by and watch you take such a risk.” Wang Zhi said, steeling himself.

“That’s all?” Lin Yue continued to ask.

“The Young Master agreed and sent people to meet us. ‘Please follow’ is the secret signal for the rendezvous.

I didn’t distrust you, it’s just that as a Supervisor, I had to report this.” Wang Zhi’s face flushed slightly. He didn’t know why, but even though it was his duty, he felt like a traitor.

“Really?” Lin Yue stared intently at Wang Zhi, as if trying to see right through him.

“Alright, I really didn’t trust you.

But at that time, anyone would have thought that a night raid on the Right Wise King’s Encampment was a fantasy.” Wang Zhi lowered his head, a little ashamed.

“Alright.” Lin Yue’s tone faltered, not expecting Wang Zhi to be so direct. Then he said to the scout, “Then please lead the way, we’ll follow you.”

“Understood!” The scout, Su Kai, responded, then galloped ahead of everyone.

The Army accelerated again, moving further and further away from the direction of the pursuers.

After a long while, Wang Zhi finally asked, “You don’t blame me?”

“What’s there to blame? You’re a Supervisor. I’m already happy that you didn’t directly stop me. Don’t overthink it.” Lin Yue said with a smile.

“Really?” Wang Zhi asked, a little incredulously.

“Fake.” Lin Yue smiled, then said to Wang Zhi, “How could you not trust me? To teach you a lesson, no more soda for ten days!”

“Alright!” Wang Zhi smiled upon hearing this, the burden in his heart finally lifted. He nodded and spurred his horse to follow… “General, the Xiongnu people are catching up!” A Qin Army general cried out anxiously.

“You go first, I’ll cover the rear!” Wang Da Tou roared, then, taking his Guard Battalion, he headed to the rear of the Army!

“General, which way should we go?” The Qin Army general pressed on.

They had taken many detours on their way here, which was why they fell behind Lin Yue, and it had been at night, so now they couldn’t remember the way back!

The Qin Army general was worried about leading them astray; if they encountered a Xiongnu people Encampment, they would be in even greater danger from a pincer attack!

Wang Da Tou pondered for a moment before saying, “Follow Lin Yue! That kid is cunning; following him can’t be wrong!”

“Understood!” The Qin Army general responded!

“Guard Battalion, follow me to cover the rear!” Wang Da Tou shouted!

...“Brother, you haven’t taken a wrong turn, have you?” Lin Yue asked, his brows tightly furrowed.

Su Kai smiled indifferently: “General, please rest assured. I can say without bragging that I can find my way back with my eyes closed. I know this place like the back of my hand!”

“But shouldn’t we be heading south? Why is this direction east?” Lin Yue finally asked after much hesitation.

He had always adhered to the principle of trusting professionals for professional matters, but such a simple directional problem finally made him unable to resist asking.

“Uh…” Su Kai smiled and explained: “The south is now blocked, densely covered with Xiongnu Soldiers, so we need to take a detour.

But please rest assured, it’s not much further than before. I will definitely be able to lead the Army back to the Encampment before noon!”

“Alright, I trust you.” Lin Yue said.

He then slowed his pace slightly until he was shoulder to shoulder with Wang Zhi, then quietly asked, “Wang Zhi, is this person reliable?”

Wang Zhi was startled upon hearing this, then said in a deep voice, “This person should be reliable. The Young Master’s secret order was only three words. I don’t think anyone else would guess it.”

“Do you have any other secret orders between you?” Lin Yue asked.

Wang Zhi shook his head.

“Then you don’t have any other verification methods?” Lin Yue asked, unwilling to give up.

Wang Zhi continued to shake his head.

“You only have this one way to verify identity?” Lin Yue asked, not believing it.

Wang Zhi calmly nodded.

“It was an emergency; the Young Master only agreed on this one secret order with me.” Wang Zhi said.

“Why do I feel like this Su Kai is so unreliable?

Have you seen him before?

Could it be that the real scout was captured by the Xiongnu people? Is he an impostor?” Lin Yue asked a series of questions. He had never doubted anyone like this before, but this Su Kai made him feel untrustworthy at first glance, and the path he was leading them on was so suspicious!

This made him unable to help but overthink.

Wang Zhi still shook his head blankly.

“General, please rest assured. This humble general cannot guarantee anything else, but Su Kai is indeed the Young Master’s man. This humble general can vouch for that with his head.” Wei Liang, who had been silent beside Lin Yue, suddenly spoke.

“How can you be so sure?” Lin Yue asked.

“Because This humble general has seen him a few times before, and at that time, he was indeed by the Young Master’s side.” Wei Liang said truthfully.

“Alright then.” Lin Yue nodded, but the unease in his heart had not dissipated; instead, as time passed, the feeling of unease grew stronger!

“General, there are enemies ahead!” Su Kai suddenly shouted.

Lin Yue’s eyelids twitched violently!

“Didn’t you say there was no one on this road?” Lin Yue asked.

“Perhaps their deployment changed temporarily!” Su Kai said with a sincere tone: “But it doesn’t matter, as long as you follow me closely, I am confident I can shake them off!”

“Lead the way!” Lin Yue had no choice but to accept this explanation, then roared, leading the Army in a straight line across the grassland!

After finally shaking off the enemy, after only the time it takes for one stick of incense to burn, Su Kai spoke again: “General, this is bad! Xiongnu people cavalry have appeared on the right, about two hundred thousand strong!”

Lin Yue’s eyelids twitched violently again!

“Less than a stick of incense has passed, how can there be enemies again?” Lin Yue asked.

“Perhaps our movements were too loud, alerting the nearby Xiongnu people, but it doesn’t matter. As long as you follow me closely, once we shake them off, we won’t encounter any more enemies!” Su Kai said in a deep voice!

“Lead the way!” Lin Yue said in a deep voice.

Then the Army made another arc, leaving the Xiongnu people cavalry on their right behind!

He secretly felt lucky, then looked back and found that Wang Da Tou’s Army had quietly followed behind them at some point!

With their three hundred thousand cavalry combined, the commotion they made was indeed quite large.

However, there was also good news: Wang Da Tou was still covering their rear. The cavalry pursuing and biting at their rear were all blocked by Wang Da Tou, forming a barrier of iron cavalry!

Given this, Lin Yue temporarily breathed a sigh of relief. He now only hoped to return to the Encampment safely and avoid any further complications!

“General, another force of about two hundred thousand Xiongnu people cavalry is pursuing us on our left!” Su Kai suddenly shouted again!

Lin Yue’s eyelids twitched uncontrollably. He suppressed his anger and asked, “What’s the reason this time?”

“Perhaps someone is mobilizing Xiongnu people cavalry to encircle us, but please rest assured, I know this place like the back of my hand. Following me, you will definitely reach the Encampment safely!” Su Kai still said with full confidence!

“Lead the way!” Lin Yue said in a deep voice. At this point, he was completely lost, and he could only trust Su Kai!

Moreover, his subordinate scoundrels had twice flogged the Right Wise King’s son’s corpse, so it was understandable that the Right Wise King would try to encircle him!

The White Horse Righteous Cavalry made another arc, successfully shaking off the Xiongnu people cavalry on the right!

And Wang Da Tou, covering the rear, couldn’t help but feel despair as he looked at the Xiongnu people cavalry that had suddenly appeared again.

“Damn it, what kind of path is Lin Yue taking?!” Wang Da Tou cursed, then continued to wield his long spear to cover the rear for the Army!

“General, would you like to rest? This humble general can hold on for a while!” A Qin Army general advised.

“No need, this old man can still fight!”

...“General!”

“What the hell is it again?!” Even the usually good-tempered Lin Yue was exasperated by the shouting!

“A cavalry force is approaching from the front!”

“Lead the way!” Lin Yue skipped directly to the last step!

“No, it looks like the Qin Army ahead!” Su Kai said.

“Qin Army?” Lin Yue’s spirits lifted!

Could it be that reinforcements had arrived?
