Li Luo led ten thousand Bei Liang Iron Cavalry, raising clouds of dust under the moonlight.
Just as everyone was galloping at high speed,
A black and white little bird flew over at extreme speed.
"Young Master!"
Li Ergou beside him activated his perspective vision upon seeing the black and white little bird.
He recognized it as Lu Renjia's painting in one glance.
"Stop!"
Li Luo waved his big hand, immediately stopping everyone.
"My son, what's the matter?"
Li Beixiong asked in confusion.
Li Luo lightly lifted his hand, and the black and white little bird landed on it.
Everyone gathered around.
"Buzz..."
The black and white little bird resting on Li Luo's palm turned into a blob of ink in front of everyone's astonished eyes.
A row of ink words emerged before their eyes.
Seeing the words, Li Beixiong's expression changed drastically.
"Yun Bin has arrived early!"
Li Luo nodded slightly, his eyes involuntarily narrowed.
Fortunately, he had left a contingency by sending Lu Renjia and Shan Pao to scout out the military situation.
Otherwise they would definitely fall into Zhang Yuan and Yun Bin's hands tonight.
"Your Highness, Crown Prince, why don't we retreat first?"
Long Ye suggested.
Li Luo shook his head slightly and said to everyone:
"Father, uncles, the other side has Zhang Yuan and Yun Bin, two peak Great Yuan Realm experts."
"While father and Gao Shun are also peak Great Yuan Realm, we may not necessarily lose."
"Since the enemy has already set up an ambush, we might as well be the decoy."
Everyone looked at each other, not understanding what the Crown Prince meant by "decoy".
"My son, what's your trick this time?"
Li Beixiong saw Li Luo's mouth slightly upturned.
From his understanding of his good son,
Whenever his good son revealed such a sinister expression, something unfortunate was bound to happen.
"Father, since we know Yun Bin has set up an ambush on the road, we might as well take a detour and sneak attack them from behind!"
Li Luo smiled faintly as he slowly spoke.
Hearing this, everyone thought it made sense.
"But Your Highness, how do we know where Yun Bin's troops are lying in ambush?"
"Our scouts will have a hard time spotting them in the low nighttime visibility."
Long Ye murmured.
Li Luo had long thought of this question and unhurriedly answered:
"This problem is easy to solve!"
"Because we have Ergou!"
"With Ergou's Mystic Eyes, he can see through everything. Even in the dark of night, Ergou's Mystic Eyes can easily detect them."
Li Beixiong and everyone else's gazes immediately fell on Li Ergou.
Li Ergou also understood his young master's intention.
"Young Master, I will go scout out their ambush location right away!"
With a flash, Li Ergou disappeared into the forest by the roadside, turning into a shadow streaking quickly towards Xiuyun City.
After Li Ergou left the main force, he activated his Mystic Eyes all the way.
In a forest ten li away from the main force,
Li Ergou finally made a discovery.
Li Luo stopped on a big tree, his eyes emitting a faint glow.
Hiding in the forest along the main road to Xiuyun City was a massive army, bows and crossbows in hand.
At the vanguard of the army, several powerful auras flickered in and out of sight.
Controlling his Mystic Eyes, Li Ergou saw those figures from the great distance.
The two men at the front, dressed in battle robes, exuded a faint aura of killing intent.
With Li Ergou's Great Yuan Realm cultivation, he could clearly sense that these two middle-aged men were at the Great Yuan Realm level.
"These two must be Zhang Yuan and Yun Bin."
"I must hurry back and inform the Young Master."
Li Ergou silently slipped away. After retreating some distance at top speed, he rushed back.
"Hmm?!"
At this moment, the ambushing Yun Bin suddenly looked back at the tree where Li Ergou had just stood, his brows furrowed.
"What's the matter?"
Seeing Yun Bin's abnormal expression, Zhang Yuan immediately asked.
"I feel like someone was spying on us just now!"
Yun Bin's eyes narrowed slightly, his expression somewhat solemn.
Zhang Yuan's body immediately shook, and in the blink of an eye he disappeared from the spot.
Within a few breaths, he reappeared under the tree Li Ergou stood before.
Yun Bin's figure followed.
"There's no one. Could it have been your imagination?"
Zhang Yuan looked around but discovered nothing unusual.
"It should have been my imagination...but it doesn't hurt to be careful."
"After all, our opponent is the Beiliang King."
"Back then, with just 100,000 Bei Liang Iron Cavalry, the Beiliang King defeated 300,000 Divine Feather Army troops. We absolutely cannot underestimate him."
Yun Bin said solemnly.
Zhang Yuan nodded slightly. The two then returned to their original positions, continuing to quietly await the Beiliang King's arrival...
On his way back, Li Ergou suddenly sensed two powerful auras streaking toward Li Luo's location from another direction.
Thinking they were the enemy's scouts, Li Ergou took a detour and activated his Mystic Eyes.
"Lu Renjia, Shan Pao!"
The two streaking figures were none other than Lu Renjia and Shan Pao, who had returned from scouting Xiuyun City.
Hearing the voice behind them, the two stopped and assumed battle readiness.
Seeing that it was Li Ergou, they finally relaxed their vigilance.
"Li Ergou, has the Young Master received our message?"
Shan Pao hurriedly asked.
Li Ergou nodded and replied:
"The Young Master sent me to investigate after receiving your message."
"The enemy is currently lying in ambush ten li away. Let's hurry back and report to the Young Master!"
The three then continued rushing back.
Soon, the three returned to Li Luo's side.
"Ergou, what's the situation?"
Seeing the three return, Li Luo hurriedly asked.
Li Beixiong and the others also gathered around.
"Young Master, ten li away, a large Black Cavalry Army force of about 100,000 men lies in ambush, bows and crossbows in hand."
"Among them are two Great Yuan Realm experts and seven Spirit Sea Realm experts."
"Those two Great Yuan Realm experts must be Zhang Yuan and Yun Bin."
Li Ergou reported with clasped fists.
"Ten li away..."
"Father!"
"Let's go, we'll take them from behind and launch a surprise attack!"
Li Luo sneered and mounted his warhorse.
Li Beixiong waved his big hand.
The 100,000 Bei Liang Iron Cavalry who were waiting in place immediately pulled their warhorses around to follow Li Luo and Li Beixiong.
