The sky gradually brightened, but Xiao Yao did not sleep at all. While the two little fellows were still awake, Xiao Yao picked some wild fruits nearby and then woke up Xiao Yi and Da Niu and shared them some, then took out a wine bag for them to eat. With the wine as friends and with the wine as fun, it could be considered as experiencing that moment of indulgence. "Haha!"

Xiao Yao's hearty laughter caused the two little fellows to look towards the source of the sound. Xiao Yao tilted his head and glanced at the two of them, then said, "Do you want a drink?"

"No way! It smells so bad!" Xiaoyi hurriedly pinched her nose. "No need! No need!" Daniu also waved his hand in a fluster.

When Xiao Yao saw the reaction of the two little fellows, he laughed out loud and kept the wine pot, and asked, "Have you eaten your fill? "Let's hurry on our way after we've eaten our fill. It's cooler when we're up early!"

The two of them nodded, and also got up and dusted off the straw and dirt that stuck to their bodies. Xiaoyi walked over to Xiao Yao, and Xiao Yao carried him onto the horse, and Da Niu also led his horse, and after riding on it, he followed behind Xiao Yao, and not long later, the two horses ran up the mountain one by one. "Pass through the forest in front, and we'll reach the top of the valley, and we'll be able to see the plot of the valley.

"It's hard to say right now. We haven't found out what the current situation is. How many of them are there?" Xiao Yao replied.

"Oh, I understand!" Xiao Yi tactfully closed her mouth and stopped asking. She smiled and comforted him, "Don't worry. No matter what, we will save Yue!"

In the blink of an eye, the sun had already risen from the east to the south. As soon as they left the forest, the pass suddenly became exceptionally dazzling, "Go to the left, follow this road!" Xiao Yi wiped the sweat from her forehead, then spoke of Xiao Yao leaving the horse's head, running along the path, followed closely by Da Niu. In this way, Xiao Yao felt that the scene in front of them was becoming more and more open, and after a while, they arrived at the edge of the valley.

"The only road they can pass through is the only way through this mountain range." Little Yi pointed at the entrance to the valley, which was considered open at the foot of the mountain, but when they looked into the forest, they couldn't see too far. The mountain road meandered its way up the mountain, but it was completely covered by a mountain range. After thinking for a moment, they turned around and said to Da Niu, "Da Niu, are you familiar with this place?"

"Young master, I've been here a few times, you can rest assured that I won't lose it!" Da Niu replied confidently. "That's good. You walk along the valley and up the cliff to see if there are any traces of people passing by. We just arrived and we can't be sure if they've already passed through here. If anything happens, we'll immediately come back and find me. I'll wait here with Xiaoyi."

"Got it, Young Master!" Da Niu replied. He turned the horse around and headed into the mountains. Then, he said to Little Yi, "Let's wait here and watch carefully!"

She squinted her eyes, staring straight at the entrance of the valley without blinking once. When Xiao Yao saw this, he smiled and pulled the horse over, blocking off the wind, which immediately decreased a lot, but Little Yi did not show any reaction, just staring at Xiao Yao who was leaning back against the horse, sitting down, taking out the wine jug, opening the lid, gulping down the wine, and then taking a sip, "Good wine."

Hearing that, Xiao Yi turned her head and said harshly, "You still have the mood to drink at a time like this?" With such a serious expression on his young and tender face, Xiao Yao laughed out loud, "You are scheming against others and doing things in the sky. Have you ever heard of this?" Xiao Yao waved his hand and asked, "No, so what?"

"Then you, Mr. Yue, are in the wrong. If you're so famous, why didn't I teach you?" said Xiao Yao teasingly

"Then, what does that mean?" "What's the meaning of this?" Xiao Yi turned her head to the side, blinking her big eyes again and again. "What's the purpose of this scheme is twofold. First, it's a plan or plan, and second, it's an action in heaven. It means that everything is changing, time, location, and so on. And these are uncontrollable and will affect the success or failure of the result, so …"

"So the only thing we can do now is to wait …" Before Xiao Yao could finish his sentence, Xiao Yi interrupted him, her voice low, revealing her helplessness and worry. Xiao Yi looked at her, smiling, raising her head, drinking a mouthful of wine, and after a while, the sounds of horse hooves could be heard. Xiao Yao stood up, lowered his head, and said to Xiao Yi, "See if Da Niu has any good news."

He was sweating profusely, but when he arrived in front of them, he immediately jumped down from his horse. He panted and said, "Young Master, a group of people in black clothes were seen up ahead. There are about a hundred of them, carrying the sacks of dozens of carriages and the hay of horses."

Xiao Yao rubbed his chin and said, "It should be the army of the imperial guards."

When Da Niu heard that, he anxiously asked, "Then, are they already gone?"

At this moment, Xiaoyi suddenly laughed and interrupted, "Stupid! Don't tell me you want the whole team to wait at the front for the food and food before cooking. Of course, the people who are preparing the food will go there first and wait for the main team."

"Yes, Little Yi is right. Before the three armies move, the food will be first!" "The main group of people holding the moon has yet to arrive."

"So we're ahead of them?" Da Niu chuckled and asked, "Yes. From their speed, it would take them about half a month to get to the capital. If we count the amount of food we need, there should be around 1000 people in the army. This is quite troublesome."

"More than a thousand people. We only have three people!" Xiao Yi paused for a moment, trying to swallow her words back. "So we have to think of a way to move the rest of the troops away from here. The less there are, the better!" However, Xiao Yao was looking at her with interest. At this moment, there was a rumbling sound coming from Da Niu's stomach, and Da Niu smiled embarrassedly, "Sorry, I didn't eat enough this morning. I'm hungry, hehe."

"That's right, if they don't have enough food, or if they don't have enough food, will they be able to reduce the number of people and not starve to death?" Xiao Yi suddenly said excitedly, "Then they can buy some or go somewhere else!"

"Stupid! This is a mountainous area, where are the markets? With their speed, they won't be able to leave within three to five days. That should be enough time for us to figure out a way!"

"What Little Yi said is right, if they don't have enough food, then we can only use one method, which is to let most of the people pass through here first, find the food, and then meet up again. However, we are afraid that they will come back here later to pick up the people who are escorting them on the prison cart, after all, if they ride a horse, it should be enough time for three days, so we can only think of one way, and that would depend on how many people we have left." Xiao Yao said.

"Also, should we wait for them to walk further in? That way, it would be difficult for them to leave or retreat?" "Then we will think of a way to make sure that all of their food is gone, and see what they do, haha!"

He nodded and said, "Daniu, keep following that pair of people in front. Remember, just watch them from a distance. Once you see them stationed here, come back and find Xiaoyi and me immediately. Do you understand?"

Xiao Yao took out two sesame seed cakes from his bag and handed them to Da Niu. He put them away, mounted the horse, turned around and went back the way he came. Xiao Yao then handed Xiao Yi a sesame seed cake and said, "Eat something. I think a large group of people will arrive soon!"

She turned her head and stared at the entrance … The afternoon sunlight was the strongest, but luckily, the autumn wind on the mountain brought a slight chill. Just as Xiao Yi was about to stretch her body, Xiao Yao suddenly screamed out, "Ah, look, it's here!"

In the middle of them was a prisoner carriage. Since they were too far away, they could not see the current state of the moon, so they could only see that he was sitting in the carriage, next to the motionless prison cart was a man in yellow clothes, riding a tall horse, he looked extremely mighty, and from his expression, one could tell that he was very pleased, and he kept talking to the prison cart, which was the same person he had seen in the last month of July. "Are you alright?" Little Yi asked.

"From the looks of it, he should be fine. Don't worry, we will soon rescue him!" Xiao Yao turned his head and smiled.
