When the princess gets married, the general must not flee

Chapter 157: Mountaintop Exploration

"Ma'am, where are you going?"

Ye Qi looked at Bai Xin walking in the opposite direction, frowned slightly and asked, then caught up with her and walked together.

Li Ze and Mo Tian handed the telescope to Zhong Shu and asked them to continue observing, and followed him.

"General, look, is this our camp?" Bai Xin and his men came to the other side of the mountain edge, pointed in the direction of their camp and said.

Their camp was located only five miles outside the border, and from their high vantage point, they could see the mottled lights of their own camp.

"It seems that we should adjust the layout of our camp and prepare for camouflage when we return!"

Ye Qi picked up the telescope that Bai Xin had specially made for him, glanced at his own camp from afar and said in a cold voice.

"Yes!" Bai Xin nodded in agreement. "Today we can see far from a high place, and maybe they will learn it in the future. Remember the spies dug up Mount Li to build an observation post in order to observe our camp."

"Luckily, most of our camp is hidden in the forest, but we still need to be prepared. When we set up camp in the future, we need to make some camouflage nets to confuse the enemy's sight."

"Yeah!" Ye Qi nodded, looked at Bai Xin and exclaimed: "Madam is still very thoughtful!"

Bai Xin pursed her lips and glanced at him, then said with a smile: "The general has a strong ability to accept things!"

Fortunately, her general was not a tyrannical person. He would listen to anything that was useful.

"Except when Madam is in danger, I will listen to you most in all other matters!" Ye Qi looked at her seriously and said.

Bai Xin smiled and turned away, not wanting to pay attention to him. Her general was becoming more and more shameless.

Li Ze and Mo Tian followed behind him and shook their heads. The night was long and eating dog food as a midnight snack was quite filling.

Bai Xin took out a small notebook and wrote down the problems in his camp, and then the few of them returned to the place where they were observing the Xichang position.

"Can you see their main camp?"

Li Ze asked Zhong Shu who was still observing through the telescope.

"The campfire is dim, and it's not very clear!" Zhong Shu answered while moving non-stop.

"But I saw clearly what kind of meat they ate and what kind of wine they drank!"

This one sentence made everyone else laugh, and the originally tense atmosphere became relaxed.

Bai Xin thought, it was just like before, when a class would go out on a mission, and no matter how tense the atmosphere was, everyone could find some fun. It felt really good.

Anyway, they couldn't see their structure clearly at night, so they were now fascinated by this new gadget, the telescope. They took turns to observe the lives of these Xichang soldiers, to see how many people were in each of their tents, and then made records one by one.

Bai Xin looked at the sky and said, "It will be two hours before dawn. We will have to stay here all day tomorrow. Let's take turns to rest now to conserve our energy!"

"Yes!" Everyone took the order, and then assigned one person to observe the movements in the Xichang camp, while the others basically slept on the spot.

"You two should take a rest quickly. After an hour, let them take over and be on guard with rifles!" Bai Xin said to the other two young generals.

"Yes!" The two men took the order and found a flat place to rest.

Bai Xin also found a slightly flat stone and made a small space for Ye Qi, so that he could sit down and rest while waiting for dawn.

Ye Qi took off his cloak, covered Bai Xin with it, sat down next to her, and slept with her in his arms.

Feeling that Ye Qi had fallen asleep beside him, Bai Xin opened his eyes, gently groped for his shoulder bag, took out the Bagua jade box, gently opened it under the cover of his cloak, pricked his finger, and drew a line across the center of the Qian hexagram.

She was so skilled that she could operate it without watching. The pain came, she clenched her teeth, trying to keep her breathing steady and not trembling, until she finished carving the hexagram and put it back in her bag without disturbing Ye Qi who was sleeping beside her.

I looked up at the sky, and my vision was blurred for a moment because of the pain. Only when the pain gradually disappeared could I slowly see the bright moonlight.

She turned her head slightly to look at Ye Qi beside her, gazing at his peaceful and comfortable sleeping face through the moonlight. From time to time, he rubbed against her unconsciously. Bai Xin smiled helplessly, leaned on his shoulder, closed her eyes, and enjoyed every moment with him, even fighting side by side.

"Ma'am, did you not sleep well?"

The sky gradually brightened. With riflemen and sentries taking turns on duty, the few of them had a good rest.

But Ye Qi felt a little distressed when he saw Bai Xin’s slightly pale face.

He slept comfortably. As long as he was next to Bai Xin, he could fall asleep in great relaxation.

"Well, a little, it's okay!" Bai Xin moved slightly and looked at him with relief.

"Go home and have a good sleep tonight!"

Ye Qi touched her face and said with pity.

"it is good!"

"A-choo...!" After Bai Xin agreed, she felt a cold air and couldn't help sneezing.

"The morning dew is heavy, don't catch a cold!"

Ye Qi frowned at her and warned her gently, but was annoyed that this was an uncontrollable factor. He picked up the cloak covering her, draped it behind her, and helped her to gather the cloak so that it covered her entire body.

"I'm fine!" Seeing how nervous he was, she smiled and said, "It's just the morning mist that makes my nose itchy!"

"I'd better not allow you to come out next time!" Ye Qi looked at her in annoyance.

It was windy and cold on the top of the mountain, and they couldn't make a fire at night. If she got sick because of this, he would be heartbroken. The epidemic and the illness he got when he fell into the water still make him feel uneasy.

"How can you be such a fragile person!" Bai Xin looked at him helplessly, blaming him for being too nervous.

"Hmph!" Ye Qi snorted in dissatisfaction. He loved his own wife so much.

"Okay, I'm fine. It's almost dawn, let's pack up and hide quickly!" Bai Xin changed the subject and comforted him.

Ignoring his sour face, I pulled him, found a place with a wide view, crawled in the grass, and observed the movements of the Xichang camp at the foot of the mountain.

The sun rose in the east, the sky became bright, and the entire camp of Xichang was completely revealed before their eyes.

"They actually used the rocks in the valley to create a maze that required instructions for both entry and exit."

Li Ze and his companions looked down at the entire structure of the Xichang camp and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"It seems that there are entrances on both sides of the canyon passage, and they are two different roads that can be used to enter and exit, but it is easy to get lost and blocked when entering and exiting!" Bai Xin said as he looked.

Ye Qi stared down coldly, as if he was deep in thought about something. Bai Xin glanced at him but did not disturb him.

"From a high vantage point, you can indeed see the direction of the entire maze. If you enter it, each path can only accommodate two people at a time, and the walls are taller than a person, then you may not be able to find the correct route. In addition, it will be difficult to attack in close combat, as it will be difficult for people to continue!"

Bai Xin frowned after he finished speaking, and seeing Ye Qi's face becoming even darker, he comforted him by saying

"I'll draw them first, and then study them slowly when I get back. I'll always be able to think of a solution!"

"Yeah!" Ye Qi nodded, thinking about countermeasures in his heart.

After Bai Xin finished speaking, he took out a pen and paper and lay down, carefully drawing the overall layout of the Xichang camp.

"General, look!"

Xu Rong discovered something through the telescope and reminded Ye Qi to look.

Ye Qi also picked up his telescope and looked in the direction Xu Rong pointed.
