A sickly fellow ridiculed by the entire army? I'll be the most beautiful woman in the barracks!

Seeing that Leng Wuye was about to fall into the trap, Chen San couldn't help but sneer inwardly, but nodded in agreement without showing any emotion.

"My lords, please come with me."

After Chen San finished speaking, he wanted to turn around and lead the way, but as soon as he turned around, he heard Leng Wuye's cold voice behind him.

"etc!"

Upon hearing this, Chen San was immediately startled. A thousand thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, wondering if he had just given himself away.

But he still turned around without hesitation and respectfully asked Leng Wuye, "What are your orders, sir?"

As Leng Wuye watched Chen San calmly turn around and respond, the doubt in his eyes lessened somewhat, but he still drew his long sword from his waist and held it to Chen San's neck.

"Hmph! Enough nonsense. You've already given yourself away. Why don't you just tell us where Zhao Daxuan's ambush is?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Liefeng was immediately startled and exclaimed, "Chen San, are you looking for death? How dare you lie to us!"

"My lord, let me kill him with one stroke!!"

As he spoke, Wang Liefeng drew his long sword from his waist and approached Chen San.

Chen San was startled by Leng Wuye's words, and then saw Wang Liefeng suddenly erupt in anger, drawing his long sword to slash at him.

He immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, his voice trembling as he said, "Your Honor, I've been wronged! How could I dare to deceive you? I wouldn't dare even if you gave me ten thousand lives!"

"If I don't speak, my own brother is in Lord Wang's hands. Tonight, I led you up the mountain. If there was an ambush, wouldn't I be the first one you'd kill?"

Wang Liefeng, who was walking towards Chen San with a fierce look on his face and holding a knife, suddenly stopped in his tracks, frowned, and felt that what Chen San said made sense. So he turned to look at Leng Wuye.

"Sir, look..."

Leng Wuye still looked at Chen San with an indifferent expression, waved his hand lightly, and said calmly, "Since he is unwilling to admit it, then kill him."

Wang Liefeng was stunned, wondering what evidence Leng Wuye had obtained that made him suddenly so certain that Chen San was lying to them, and even wanted to kill Chen San.

"Sir, without Chen San to lead the way..."

"I said, kill him!"

Leng Wuye's voice interrupted Wang Liefeng's words. Wang Liefeng was stunned for a moment, but then nodded and turned to continue walking towards Chen San.

Wang Liefeng strode up to Chen San, kicked him to the ground, and stepped on his chest, saying, "Don't worry, your brother will be down there with you soon!"

At this moment, Chen San was completely pale, his mouth was dry, and his heart was pounding.

But no matter how hard he racked his brains, he couldn't figure out where he had slipped up. He could only shake his head desperately, looking at Leng Wuye with despair in his eyes.

"Your Honor, I've been wronged! I absolutely did not lie to you! I've been wronged!"

Wang Liefeng glanced back at Leng Wuye, and seeing that he still had no new instructions, he turned back to look at Chen San at his feet. A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he raised his long sword to chop down Chen San's neck.

Leng Wuye's gaze remained fixed on Chen San, noticing that aside from fear, Chen San showed no other unusual expression and insisted that he had not lied to them.

His tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly, and seeing that Wang Liefeng was about to swing his long sword down, he spoke up to stop him.

"Hold on, fierce wind!"

After saying that, Leng Wuye, who had been wearing a sullen face, smiled again, took a few steps forward, and came to stand in front of Chen San.

Leng Wuye patted Wang Liefeng, who was still stunned, "Alright, it's okay, I was just joking with you guys! Hahaha..."

As he spoke, he reached out and pulled Chen San, who was lying on the ground, up, and even kindly patted the dust off his body.

"Brother Chen, don't blame me. I'm doing this for the sake of these thousands of brothers. After all, they risk their lives to follow me, and I have to ensure their safety."

At this moment, Chen San almost burst into tears. Just now, when he saw Wang Liefeng about to swing his long knife, his heart was about to jump into his throat.

Fortunately, Wang Liefeng stopped him at the last moment, otherwise he would have taken the secret of tonight to the underworld with him!

He forced a smile, a smile more like a grimace, while inwardly cursing Leng Wuye eight hundred times over, but outwardly still smiling, he said, "Yes, yes, sir, what are you saying? How could I possibly blame you?"

"We are deeply grateful for your kindness, sir. It is our good fortune to have a leader like you."

Leng Wuye laughed heartily a few times, patted Chen San on the shoulder, and said with satisfaction, "Brother Chen certainly knows how to talk, I like it! Lead the way!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Chen San wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, nodded repeatedly, and turned to lead the way.

Leng Wuye waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and follow me!"

"Okay, okay!"

The crowd then realized what was happening and followed.

At the same time, he thought to himself, "So Leng Wuye was testing me just now! He wanted to see if Chen San was really acting!"

They were quite startled by what they just witnessed. They thought that Zhao Daxuan had seen through their plan and set up an ambush before they could even make a move.

Led by Chen San, the group headed toward the valley where Li Erlong and his men were lying in ambush.

Wang Liefeng frowned, noticing that the route didn't lead up the mountain, and asked, "Chen San, where are we going? Aren't we going up the mountain?"

Chen San already had a plan in mind, and upon hearing this, he explained in a low voice: "Lord Wang, based on the mine's defenses tonight, we cannot go directly up the mountain. We need to take this small path to go around to the back of the mountain, and then sneak up the mountain through another small path."

"If you had followed the route you took that night, you would have been discovered very quickly. You were lucky that day; it was during the shift change, and the vigilance at the various outposts was much lower."

"Otherwise, if you are discovered and they find themselves outmatched, they will simply light a signal fire."

Leng Wuye frowned and said, "Smoke signals? Zhao Daxuan actually set up smoke signals in this small mine?"

Chen San nodded: "That's right, sirs. You all know what's in these mountains. It's always better to be careful."

Leng Wuye nodded, feeling fortunate that they had found an inside man; otherwise, tonight's operation would not have been able to be completed smoothly, and they might have been discovered as soon as they reached the foot of the mountain.

As they got closer to their destination, Chen San became increasingly nervous, fearing that Leng Wuye and the others would notice something amiss.

Fortunately, even though Leng Wuye frowned and kept looking around until the entire group entered the valley, he did not find anything unusual.

Li Erlong and the others had already hidden themselves and made ample preparations, so naturally they would not be easily discovered by Leng Wuye and the others.

Just as Chen San was leading the group through most of the valley, a series of shouts of killing suddenly came from the mountainside on both sides of the valley.

Leng Wuye was immediately startled and looked towards the mountainside on both sides. By the bright moonlight, he could vaguely see thousands of long swords gleaming coldly on the mountainside on both sides.
