"Brother Tai Yi, why are you staring at the jungle alone?" While Qingyang was in a daze, Fang Cheng suddenly walked to his side and said.

"Nothing, hur hur. Is everything ready?" Qingyang immediately shook his head, turned around and asked with a gentle smile.

Hearing that, Fang Cheng looked puzzled: "Arrangement? "Set up what?"

He rolled his eyes at Fang Cheng as he thought to himself, "This Fatty Fang is too careless. Although there is an Upper Sky elite warrior named Qing Yangming beside him, he is not someone who can sweep the world with his power."

"Of course we should deploy some men to prevent bandits from attacking the caravan in the night!" Qingyang gave an exasperated grunt as he felt a bit helpless towards Fang Cheng.

"Oh, I've already ordered half of the guards to stand guard around. There shouldn't be a problem." As if suddenly enlightened, Fang Cheng pointed to the guards around him who were either standing or patrolling as he smiled and said, "What's more, Brother Ming is here too."

"By the time these guards discovered us, the bandits would have already surrounded us." Qing Yang shook his head slightly and said softly, "There should be a few people on the trees a hundred meters away as sentries. On one hand, the trees have a wider view, and on the other, they have a stronger ability of concealment. Furthermore, the guards should not be too obvious about it. They will need a couple of people to find some cover. One, they will not be easily distracted.

After listening to Qingyang's logical analysis, Fang Cheng was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses. With a blank face, he asked, "Brother Tai Yi, are you the general of Nan Rong? Why are you so familiar with the arrangement of troops? "

Qingyang rolled his eyes at Fang Cheng and ignored him. He only urged: "Brother Fang, if you think my words are reasonable, then tell us. If we meet bandits, you don't want any casualties on the caravan, do you?"

"That makes sense! That makes sense!" I will immediately give the orders. " Fang Cheng looked at Qingyang with admiration before turning around and starting to lay out his plans.

Although these arrangements weren't very useful, it was better than not being prepared at all. If these guards had spread out like before, then they would clearly be the living targets of these bandits. Not to mention that if there was a surprise attack, then they would be facing South Rongjun's Iron-Blood Army.

Those who survived on the battlefield not only needed courage and strength, but also the ability to work together to protect themselves. The fact that this remnant of the South Rongjun Dragons was able to survive under the encirclement of the South Rongyan Dragon was enough proof that they were not only brave enough to fight, but also wise enough to work together.

Although the guards of the caravan could be said to be licking their blood on the blade of a saber, they were still a far cry from the regular soldiers.

"Brother Taiyi, we've already arranged everything as you said." Fang Cheng jogged over with a joyous expression. He was clearly satisfied with Qingyang's guidance just now.

"It's best to be cautious. What Anchang Town has heard is definitely not groundless news." Qingyang nodded and muttered, "This place is way too quiet."

Fang Cheng naturally understood that if there really was a bandit, there would be a calamity tonight. Therefore, Qingyang had instructed him to do as he pleased, and a bonfire had been set up in the wilderness.

Each of them slept around the bonfire while the guards placed in their respective hiding spots stared at the dense forest with full concentration. Any movement in the wind or grass would cause them to stare at it fiercely.

"Master, will there really be an attack tonight?" Cultivators did not care about sleep. Cultivators who meditated were better at resting than those who did not sleep normally. Cultivators like Qingyang or Qingyang Ming would naturally not have any problems staying awake for a few days.

"Ming, if there is any trouble in a while, you can stand guard here and take care of them. I will go investigate." Qingyang explained in detail and then sat down by the campfire to cultivate. However, he spread out his soul consciousness to see everything within a few miles.

Strangely, even after the latter half of the night had passed, there was still no sound. Even the guards on both sides of the street who were keeping watch had been replaced, but things were still as calm as they had been when they arrived.

Nothing strange happened to his consciousness that was spread out by the Azure Sun. There wasn't even a trace of a wild animal. It was truly a bit strange.

"Ai, like I said, the government sent troops to encircle and annihilate them. Don't tell me that bandit really doesn't know his place?" I think he probably ran away. " Stretching his back lazily, a guard hiding behind a giant boulder yawned and said, "I'll take a look first. Help keep an eye on him."

The person beside him rolled his eyes at the guard who had fallen asleep. He tightened his grip on his saber and continued to look around. It seemed that he did not believe that the bandit had escaped.

It was as if there was a pair of eyes watching him from every corner of the place, but also as if there was nothing there. Other than the few guards who had lost their minds and were sleeping, the majority of them still did their duty of staying put, not daring to relax in the slightest.

He opened his eyes slowly and scanned his surroundings. He discovered that Fang Cheng and the others were curled up in a ball of sleeping incense. After standing up, they threw a few pieces of dried wood into the bonfire.

"Old master, you ?" Qing Yangming opened his eyes abruptly and saw that Qingyang was about to leave.

After waving his hand, he signalled to Qing Yang to be quiet, then Qingyang leapt out of the circle formed by a few carriages. With the tip of his feet lightly pressed on the ground, he looked at the people around him who were all sound asleep.

"Did he really escape?" Qingyang knitted his eyebrows tightly together. He looked doubtfully at the deep, dense forest and softly muttered to himself.

And according to the Nan Rong family's character, they must have also secretly sent their experts over to kill this group of handicapped veterans. After all, the people who followed Nan Rong's handsome dragon could be considered to be traitors, and it was possible that Nan Rong Long was one of them. The one who was still alive was a thorn in Nan Rong's heart.

If he wanted to live, no matter who the commander of this broken army was, he would have to avoid Nan Rong's attack for the second time. He would have to hide in another place and wait for Nan Rong to recuperate before he could do anything else.

"Hmm? That's not right! There's someone here! " Just as Qingyang was about to go back to his carriage and start cultivating, Qingyang suddenly sensed that there were people approaching the caravan from all directions. There were also a lot of people coming; it should be around five hundred!

After some careful sensing, almost all of the newcomers were carrying a long spear. Few of them were equipped with ordinary sabers, and their footsteps were light and fast. No one uttered a sound as they walked. It was indeed the quality of a trained army!

"Hmph, you chose to sneak attack me in the middle of the night. It seems that you are really like that. I'm not afraid of your arrival, I'm only afraid that you won't come!" With a cold snort, Qingyang was secretly delighted in his heart.

The guards who had switched shifts earlier and in the middle of the night were exhausted. Whether it was in terms of body size, speed, or skill, they were all quite exhausted. Many of them would lower their guard during the latter half of the night.

"Get up, all of you, two miles away! An enemy attack! " With a low growl, Qingyang woke everyone up from their sleep and took out his weapons one by one.
