At the bottom of the valley, Ah Qi was slowly walking forward with Yue. One could tell from his expression that he was happy and proud!

He was happy that he could finally take revenge for the Imperial Tutor. He was proud that he had not wasted all these years of his humiliation, and that he could finally show off in front of the Crown Prince. He was in a good mood as he looked at the moon in the carriage and shouted, "Someone, give this person some food!"

Yue raised her head, glanced at A Seven, then lowered her head and closed her eyes. He hadn't eaten for almost two days, although this didn't mean much to him, she still had to protect her own physical strength, and she couldn't casually waste even a single ounce. A guard ran over from the front of the platoon and handed A Seven a piece of dry rations, then A Seven rolled his eyes and said, "Give it to him, why are you giving it to me?"

"Yes!"

Yue took a glance at the dry rations before putting them into her mouth. She then slowly chewed on them. "Do we still have enough rations to last for a few days?" Ah Qi suddenly asked, "Reporting to the lord, we still have about half a month left. According to the report from the contact, our grain department has already found a place to stay tonight. We're building a tent and lighting a fire to cook. We'll be able to meet up with them in just two hours."

"Very good, let's go down." Number Seven was very satisfied with his current condition. The sunset gradually fell on the top of the mountain, and the weather gradually became cooler, and when he looked into the distance, he could see patches of crimson, serene, and beautiful rolling up and down. However, there were some people who weren't in the mood to experience this moving moment, as Xiao Yao and Xiao Yao continued to follow behind the group, watching from a distance.

After walking for an entire day, everyone would feel tired. The people on top of the valley were still alright, as they could occasionally pick some fruits and drink some saliva. The people below the valley were not as carefree.

By the time they reunited with the men of the fodder army, everyone was already starving. Fortunately, they could eat the food they had prepared earlier. Although it was light, it was still very tasty for them …

The rest of the people were all resting on the ground. A seventh month's prison cart was pushed into the tent, not because he felt pity, but because he was worried that something unexpected might happen outside. This capture of a month had crippled his strength, so he didn't want to make any mistakes near the end of autumn.

With enough remaining food to last for more than ten days, they had to leave before the main group. Therefore, if they found any deficiencies, they would make adjustments in time to replenish their food supplies. For this, he could be more at ease.

They gathered around a dozen carriages and slept around the carriages. The night was late, and everything was quiet except for the rustling of the trees. A few patrolling guards were gathered together in groups of twos and threes, talking about something. Suddenly, from the distant forest, the sound of crying could be heard.

Several patrolling men gathered together, looking towards the source of the voice. After a while, nothing could be heard but the rustling of the trees, and after a moment of relief, one of the young guards looked awkwardly at his pants, and then they all lowered their heads and laughed. An older guard patted his shoulder and said, "It's still young, haha, this is the first time you've been on a mission. Haha, look at you, you're so timid, you're pissing your pants!" Another guard said, "There's nothing we can do. Our team's training results are the worst. Look, there's such a team!"

Hearing this, he hurriedly took up his own package and went into the woods to change his pants. "What bad luck, I actually encountered such a thing!" The young guard muttered to himself, and just as he finished changing his pants, the moment he raised his head, he shouted 'Ah!' Just as he raised his head, not far away, there was a little girl whose long hair had been scattered all over her body, standing there motionlessly, and her feet, were actually not even touching the ground!

"Wuuuu ~ ~ Wuuu ~ ~"

"Ghost!" The young guard jumped out of the forest without even tying up his pants. His voice was good, waking most of the guards hungry. "What are you doing in the middle of the night?"

"What the hell, didn't I see a ghost frightened to death by you?"

The braver ones went into the forest to take a look, but didn't find anything. After coming back, they started to criticize the young guard, only to see that he was already trembling and couldn't say a word. No one noticed the three pairs of eyes in the forest not far away, "Is it fun?" Xiao Yao silently nodded her head and asked, "This is fun, fun, and fun. Why don't you bring me flying again?"

"Your Mr. Yue has never played with you before?"

"Not at all. He won't let me tell anyone that he knows martial arts. Daniu, is it?"

"Uh, this, hehe ~"

"Alright, I know that you and Yue have guaranteed that we would not be able to sleep during the day. Their mouths are still shut even though they are small." Xiao Yao looked at Da Niu's silly appearance and said with a smile, "After the mission tonight, we should also find a place to rest. They definitely won't be able to sleep.

"Understood, Young Master."

"Mm, okay."

Xiao Yao brought the two little fellows back to the top of the valley. They found a large tree, and the three of them leaned on it. Not long later, the two little fellows fell asleep. To them, this day had been exhausting …

The camp was already lit up with torches, and more people were patrolling around, and the tent was already lit up. Obviously, what happened just now had already alarmed Ah Qi, so he leaned back against the tree, closed his eyes, and began to recuperate, knowing that at dawn, he once again stood up to look down, and as the people from the grain army began to gather, he nodded and muttered something to himself. So it was like that, he had once again rested by the tree in the early morning, and the first ray of sunlight shone into the tent.

Although Yue Yu still didn't show any expression on her face, she was constantly thinking about this matter. It was clear that if this matter was caused by someone, then the people from the wilderness would probably come for him. Furthermore, as the leader of the Netherworld Deathsworn, Yue Yue never believed in ghosts and gods!

The large group packed their luggage and began their long journey. However, it was obvious that everyone was not in a good mood today. What happened last night had a huge impact on them. Everyone was thinking in their hearts, hurry up and leave this damned forest!

After a whole morning of traveling, the main group had already reached the heart of the mountain. They could not see the end of the road, and could not see the way back, so they slowly moved forward on the long and rugged mountain road. At that moment, a horse galloped towards them from the front, and the man dismounted and reported, "Sire, I have been ordered to contact the Food and Grass Division at regular times, but have not been able to catch up with them!" The person said while panting heavily, "Have you not caught up yet?" "My lord, based on the speed of the grain division, I should have met him a long time ago. Furthermore, I chased him along the mountain road for a few miles but still could not find him. There are no traces of him being crushed!"

"What, how is this possible!" A few guards nearby who had heard their conversation began whispering to each other. The more they talked about what had happened last night, the more people there were, until finally, there was a hubbub of voices. "Don't talk about it anymore!" A Seven shouted loudly, and then there was a moment of silence, "I advise you to take advantage of the day and send your men down there to search. It will take you at least three to five days to get through this forest. This valley was called Ghost Valley! It's not like you haven't heard of it? " Yue suddenly raised her head, slowly saying, "Ghost Valley?" "Hmph, don't try to scare me, what have I seen? I won't eat this!" Ah Qi shouted angrily at Yue. Yue stopped speaking after she said this, lowered her head, and closed her eyes. Ah Qi sat on the horse and looked forward, then back. After a long time, she said, "Come!"

"Yes!"

"There's only one road ahead, there are still many forks in the road."

"Sir, there are two forks in the road, but I have chased after both forks in the road, but I did not find anyone!"

"It might be because you haven't caught up to them yet. Lead three hundred men and chase after them along the way!"

"You, come here, take 300 people and chase them down the other road in case something really happens to them so they can help out. You, come here, take 100 people and rush out of the mountain to look for food. If you can't find the grain depot and don't return to the capital, we will all starve to death in the mountains!"

"Yes, we accept your orders." The three of them replied in unison, and in a blink of an eye, more than half of their men were sent out, leaving behind less than 500 people. Amongst the wilderness, Ah Qi reckoned that these people were enough, and without food, it was the greatest difficulty they were facing right now.

he muttered.
